Humanity [Twilight]

Seven

The boys had gone to the store and had gotten a drink each and a few snacks, they were currently laughing while walking back towards Billy's while throwing snacks at each other playfully. Theodore realized that this moment was the happiest he had felt in a long time, and for Paul it was the happiest he had ever been.
As they reached Billy's house Paul invited him to come over to Sam's house next weekend, when asked who Sam was Paul referred to him as a friend and mentor and Theodore agreed.
"Bye Teddy" Paul said and started to walk away back in the direction they came from originally.
"Don't call me that" Theodore called out after him but all he got back was a laugh from Paul who was slowly fading out of view.
As Theodore turned to walk into the house he was cornered by Jacob who immediately started interrogating him wanting to know what he was doing with Paul, what they had been talking about and similar questions.
"Mind your business Jacob" he said walking around him.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, him and that cult are weird" Theodore ignored him and walked inside to meet his father to head home, although Jacobs words where circulating through his head.
.....
It was the next day and Charlie had just gotten home from work, Theodore was sat on the couch and was working on his homework and Bella was outside reading on the lawn enjoying the first day of warm sun in a while. When his dad and sister came in from outside Bella apologized that she wasn't done making dinner because she apparently fell asleep while she was outside, Charlie came into the living room and asked if he could turn the game on not wanting to distract Theodore from his work. Theodore said that he didn't mind and soon was watching the game with his father.
It was after dinner now and Bella had joined them in the living room so they were now watching a random show none of them where interested in but at least none of them hated it. Bella broke the peaceful silence by asking their dad if she could go to Port Angeles the next night with her friend Jessica. Theodore had only met her once and he was weary of her to him she seemed like a bitch. Charlie agreed glad she was making friends.
.....
The next night Bella was late, Theodore assumed it was traffic until she showed up in a guys car and not the girls car she left in. As soon as she got in he started interrogating her. She had scared him, he was starting to panic and not only that she showed up with some random guy.
"He's not just a random guy he goes to our school"
"okay and how did you meet up with him in the city"
"I cant tell you"
"Exactly" he said and turned to walk upstairs he knew he was probably being unfair but she didn't understand where he was coming from either.
.....
The next morning Charlie dropped him off at school with the promise to pick him up and take him to get the rest of the parts to fix his bike, He knew Bella was mad at him but he didn't think that she would be so angry as to ditch him, but apparently she was. His opinion was changed when Bella arrived at school getting out of the same car that dropped her off last night.
He made it through the first few periods of school getting progressively more annoyed as the high school population acted as.... well a bunch of high schoolers. He sat rather aggressively in his seat in english class next to a certain blonde, who glanced up at him in questioning. He always seemed to have himself together so whatever was causing this made the blonde glance at him curiosity but also some concern.
"May I ask what's wrong?" she asked hesitatingly she wasn't sure where she stood with the boy nor was she sure why she cared so much, all she knew was that he was the most tolerable human and he made her feel a but more human, even though they never really interacted.
"My sister is mad at me because she came home late and I got mad for concerning me" He started to explain "And she has apparently left me stranded with no way to get to school cause her boy toy gave her a ride today."
Rosalie didn't realize that his problem would involve her brother who she also was mad at.
"That 'boy toy' is my brother"
"Oh sorry I didn't"
"No don't worry about it I'm not thrilled with him at the moment either"
They fell into a silence, not awkward but not exactly peaceful, it was just comfortable Theodore was glad he talked to someone, especially because he wasn't going to rat Bella out for coming home late even though he desperately wanted her to listen to some form of reason.
Rosalie was thinking practically the same thing about Edward.... if only he would listen to reason.
