Chapter 14

Dylan O'brien was originally Toby but I was watching A Staten Island Summer and Graham Phillips was just way cuter and was a better fit for the character. There aren't a lot of good pictures of him on the internet but if you watch the movie (it's on Netflix) you'll see him he's adorable and there's a semi good good picture above :)

I saw Jack waiting by my locker, leaning against it with his head tilted backwards and his eyes closed. He was wearing a blue and black hoodie and khaki shorts. I walked towards him and bumped my hip into his moving him slightly so I could open my locker. He opened his eyes and looked at me smiling.

"Hi baby," he smiled over at me "So I have a question for you" he smirked.

"Oh yeah and what's that"

"You wanna be my girlfriend?"

I grabbed my last book, my hand on the locker door waiting to close it as I pretended to think about my answer, "Hmm, No" I slammed my locker shut and walked away leaving Jack to process the answer.

"Woah" he ran up to me and grabbed my arm," how can you say you love me and then the next day decline my offer of making you mine."

I stopped staring daggers at him, "Ok 1) Jack if you're offering it to me then maybe I should say no and mean it, 2) even if I did say yes I wouldn't be "yours" I'm a woman, not an object, and 3) I said no because that's not how I wanted you to ask me" I stopped talking just as the bell rang and I walked off to Math leaving Jack in the hallway.

It was the end of the day and I was exhausted. I just wanted to go home. I grabbed everything I needed to complete my homework tonight and shoved it in my bag, putting my hair up into a high pony tail and walking outside. I took out my phone to see my mom texted me.

Mama💗: Hi honey bear, I know you're at school but I wanted to know if you were going out with friends tonight or staying home because we need to have dinner with my boss and his family so any plans you had might have to be put off.

Me: No mom I was planning on just getting home and doing homework but what time should I be ready by?

Mama💗: be ready by 6 we need to be over there by 6:30.

Me: ok love u mama bear

Mama💗: um

Me: sorry ok that was weird I'll see you at home

I walked inside my house and set my bag down on the dining room table and made my way upstairs, stripping and stepping into the shower, pressing shuffle on my music.

I had on a red dress where the straps were wrapped around my shoulders. My feet were crammed into plain red heels and my hair was curled and out. I didn't have too much makeup on but just enough so that I looked sophisticated.

"BELS YOU READY" my dad yelled from downstairs. I grabbed my bag and phone and met my parents downstairs.

"Come on Kiddo, let's knock em dead"

I smiled and got in the car trying to take a nap so I wasn't as tired when we got there

(A/N: so far this has been extremely boring I know it'll get good right about now I promise)

We pulled up to a large house after a half hour of driving. The brick stone driveway was beautiful on its on. There was a large lake near the house and trees were surrounding the area, this was the only house for a few miles. I didn't realize how far away we were from town until now. My parents filed out of the car and I followed them slowly.

"Remember Bella, this dinner is very important, please be on your best behavior" my mom fixed my dress before turning back around just in time to see a tall man in a suit open the door.

I blocked out the sound of their talking, only listening to a few things and nodding when necessary.

"This is our son Toby, I believe he goes to school with Bella" Mrs. George asked smiled.

"Toby?" I smiled finally snapping out of my bored state.

"Bella hi" he smiled back.

"We'll look at that" my mom smiled.

I could here the laughter of our parents from the second floor. Toby and I were in the large Family Room upstairs, which was basically a big second living room.

"So, do you play?" I asked Toby referring to the grand piano placed in the center of the room.

"Yeah I've been taking lessons since I was 5"

"Play something for me" I smiled sitting down on one of the white chairs. He smiled and placed his small glass of scratch on top of the piano, before playing a very familiar tune. (A/N: this is my third time watching twilight in the past 24 hours do NOT judge me I'm very emotional) I identified it as Bella's Lullaby from Twilight and my heart leaped as I pulled out the violin from their many instruments. I started playing with Toby and although it was extremely weird that we both played the two instruments needed for this song, it sounded great. The soothing music relaxed me and I smiled into it looking over at Toby. The short song ended sooner than I hoped and I sadly opened my eyes, not even realizing they had closed until just now. I looked over at Toby and saw he was giving me the 'I didn't know you played' look and I gave him the 'my parents hate me so they forced me to play 13 instruments while I was growing up' not that there's really a look for that but he understood.

"Play it again please" I asked him setting down the violin and sitting down at the piano with him. He obeyed, his hands moving gracefully over the keys, almost putting me to sleep. He finished and looked over at me, shifting his whole body towards me showing me I had his full attention.

"Bella, I think you look really beautiful tonight" he complimented, his cheeks turning a rosy pink.

"Thank you," I smiled "I think you look really handsome. I like your suit"

"Bella, Toby time for dinner" my mom came upstairs, waiting for us to stand up before walking downstairs.

"After you" he smiled.
