Chapter Thirteen: Edward the Weirdo. Edweirdo? Got a Nice Ring to it.

            Bella and I watched two movies before going our separate ways. I could not sit still for that long when I was only watching a movie. I liked action, but anything other than that had me squirming in my seat. We got pizza for dinner, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Normally I did not like all of the grease found on it, but today I was fine with it. Charlie watched his normal sports channel while munching on a slice of the pizza. Bella was upstairs doing homework, which was what I was headed to do. I did not have much, but it was still inconvenient. I mean we spent eight hours a day on this junk. Do we really have to do it at home too? I mean, how do they expect us to do good on it when we have spent the previous eight hours in the mental abuse place called school. It was beyond me. Nonetheless, I currently had good grades and planned to keep it that way, so I grudgingly completed my homework. When I finished I gratefully collapsed onto my bed and slept, dreading the repeat of the same routine. When my alarm started blaring its insufferable tuneless noise, I still was not ready to get up. I was cold and tired, but I eventually had to venture out of the warmth of my blankets to get ready for the day. I was already running late. I was rushing around like crazy to get ready while Bella yelled at me to hurry up. I told her to shut up, seeming as she was also still in the process of getting ready. For some unfathomable reason she was in a big hurry today. I all but ran to Bella's rust bucket cradling my backpack and a piece of toast sticking out of my mouth. Bells drove as quickly as possible for her. So basically we were actually beating the old lady on the bike for once. I normally would hate this, but it was better than when I had to deal with Edward's lunatic driving. When we pulled into the parking lot Bella sprung out and started walking in the opposite direction. She looked determined, that made me nervous.

"Uh, Bells, I know you don't have a good sense of direction, but the school is that way." I informed her. She ignored me instead walking toward the woods with Edward Cullen following behind her. Nope, not happening. I ran after them. I slowed down and fell into pace beside Bella.

"Go back to school Myla." Bella ordered. I just laughed.

"Fat chance. I'm not letting you tramp around the woods when you could literally kill yourself with a sticky-note. Plus I don't like him" I said, jabbing a finger in Edward's direction, which was a little behind us, but I knew he could hear.

"Please Myla." Bella begged, stopping to face both me and Edward.

"No, do you think I took on 5 drunk guys for you so you could get killed in the woods by a-" I cut off abruptly realizing I shouldn't finish my sentence. I was going to say vampire. I knew she probably knew, but I didn't want a cult, or coven of angry vampires set on me.

"A what?" Bella pressed.

"A weirdo." I compromised.

"The weirdo is standing right here." Edward finally broke in. I gave him a mischievous grin.

"Hello weirdo." He sighed deeply, realizing just how fatal of a mistake it had been when he called himself that. "Either way I am coming with you, like it or not." Weirdo opened his mouth, but stopped when I jabbed a finger at him. "You have no say in it, nor do you Bella." I informed him. Bella sighed deeply, knowing there was no arguing with me, then turned and started into the woods. I marched along behind them.
