I ended up going to bed earlier than i usually did, i was more tired tonight, when i jolted awake, back in my window, Edward. he looks disappointed, so i sense he knows i kissed Jacob. Which isn't really a big deal.  

him going in my window is. I simply say, "you better have a good reason for being here, this is fucking creepy. " i shouldn't be so harsh, but i was done. Edward nodded. I roll my eyes, in his eyes, his reasons were good enough.

I knew, he knew i kissed Jacob. If his adopted sister knew, he would know. "Well-? I begin, hoping he would tell me. "Your friend, seems like he isn't done yet, Edward said.  "Oh, I say, Owen, he never gives up easily, but this, did surprise me. He did get what he wanted, right?

He explores my room, before saying, "someone definitely was in here." "Well, I mean... I begin. "A vampire, He corrected. I nodded. "Victoria?" "No, Alice would've seen her decisions, Edward said. 

"Okay.... I say. I doubted he was fully being honest. Vampires never were. Still, Nobody else would be warning me. Maybe, Jacob, if i asked. I sigh, my room did feel off. Like, someone i had no idea i knew of, came in here. 

Edward comes closer. For one second, I was sure he was going to kiss me. But he steps back, before leaving. 

weird.

I couldn't sleep, so i remained up until morning. Graduation was approaching, I couldn't wait. I already did junior year in California. I was looking into Colleges. I had time, of course. Still, i didn't even fully know if college, or university, was something i wanted to do.

However, I needed work. My own money i could save up for. Dad suggested working at the retail store, which was owned by Mike's family.  I guess, if Mike didn't like me the way i didn't like him, i would have been fine. Instead, I knew I wouldn't be entirely happy working alongside him.

But, I agreed, making Dad happy was my priority. Mike seemed pleased i wanted to work there. I did feel slightly bad. After my horrible rejection with Owen, I wasn't sure how he would read if i said no. 

 So, I hoped he would never ask me out. I did get the job, and worked my first shift. Mostly so i could get the whole vampire thing off my mind. "(Name), could I talk to you? Mike asked, while i was stocking up goods.

"Um, sure, I replied, turning in his direction so he knew i was listening. "I was thinking... would you see a movie with me? Mike asked nervously, blush across his face. "Sure, I smiled, which i hoped was convincing. Maybe a movie wouldn't be so bad. But with Mike? I don't know.

"Really? I was told you weren't really interested so i never said anything, Mike admits. I shrug. "A movie would be nice, movie popcorn is my weakness." He chuckles. "I'll send you details." I nodded. I finished my shift. 

Dad smiled proudly. "How was it?" Okay, until Mike Newton asked me out.  I shrug. "Fine, I mean, i will be paid so, bonus." He nods."i cooked dinner for you. I knew you would be hungry." "Thanks, Dad, I could've cooked something myself, I said. 

He simply chuckles. I was very hungry so i finished quick. I did some homework, heading off for bed. School had been stressful. I couldn't wait for high school to be done. though, i was unsure on my career when i was older. 

honestly, i will figure it out. i have some options in mind, i'm just scared of regretting my decision. Morning Came, and so did, unfortunately, school. I got up, changed, had some cereal, drove early so i could, avoid people, per usual. 

well, when i mean people, i mean, mike. he planned on seeing a rom-com movie tonight. i didn't object, but i knew why he chose romance specifically, which made me feel, icky. Weird way of saying it, and kind of harsh, but how else do i describe the feeling? 

"(Name), hey, Bella smiles. I smile back. "Earlybird, huh?" "I guess, I like avoiding people, She joked. I laughed. "Me too. I should go, I hope i see you around."  "Me too! Bella said. Her soft voice slightly louder, but not very loud still. 

I enter class early. Unless you're extroverted, this is really nice. No people, no chatter. I guess socializing is decent, i guess. Really though, I would be fine being homeschooled. Mom did consider online, but didn't. she needed me to make friends. I did, who ended up being fake. and one only my friend so he could be with me.  

 hence why friends isn't my biggest priority right now. i feel like falling asleep but i needed good grades. and didn't feel like getting lectured for sleeping in class. so, i stayed awake. which might explain dark circles under my eyes. but when some vampire is after you, how can you sleep?

"miss (last name), could you give me the answer?"

surprised, i respond, giving the right answer, which was good. I saw Bella after class. "Hey, I smile. "hey, she replied, i was shy but i would say she was even more shy. which is surprising.  When school ended, i grew bored. Dad would be home late, I didn't know much else i could do. I hold in my breath, i could see Jacob.

Would things be weird, though? I hoped not. I had time before going with Mike to a movie. I feel bad for dreading the movie. But i knew he would make a move. I mean, why else would he suggest a rom-com movie?

I grip the wheel nervously. I didn't feel like going home, not now. In case i bump into some vampire looking for me.  I hop out, pleased he was outside. "(Name)? Jacob said, I go over. "Jake. Look, Sorry for coming up in such short notice-"

"(Name), i should've called, or even texted, but i didn't, i'm sorry, Jacob interrupts. I question him, "Why didn't you? I thought I did something wrong."  

"(Name), I imprinted on you."

oh fuck.
