Chapter Four: Invitations

I'm nearly ready to go mad; I havn't spoke to Bella since the day after the accident. She came into class with a smile on her face; she turned and said Hello to me. I just nodded in her direction not once meeting her eye; because I knew if I looked into those brown eyes that I would like to know more about her. I pretended to ignore her although wasn't impossible I would listen to the conversation she was having through out the day; one thing I did notice was that she lied non stop about me being beside her. Why the hell was she lieing for me when I didn't keep my end of the deal? Jesus why can't I just read her mind for god sake! This is really frustrating; I can't understand this... I listened as she explained the same story over and over again; that she was standing my her truck talking to me; next thing she knew I was pulling her safety out of the way of the truck. Everyday I explained to my family what she was saying to the people asking questions about that day; Emmett and Jasper noticed that she looked really pissed at being ask all these questions day in and day out. Jessica of course was lapping this up she loved all the attention her friends was getting, due to the fact that she was getting attention from the people who couldn't get an answer from Bella.

When we sat next to each other in class, as far from her as the table would allow. Acting as through I wasn't aware of her presence; although that was near impossible! I sat there day after day out getting more and more frustrated with the fact that I couldn't know what was going through her mind. The vile Mike Newton was so happy that Bella and I havn't spoke since the accident; he would sit at the end of our desk talking to Bella about one stupid thing or another.

Thankfully the snow washed away after that terrible day when I nearly put my whole family at risk by saving this weird, strange and interesting girl. I knew I would get frustrated but instead of saying anything to Bella I just clenched my fists tightly together.

It was two weeks before the big dance and everyone in the school has been talking about it. Alice and even Rosalie was excited about it; I was just hoping since it's girl choice that I don't get asked by anyone especially Bella; I really couldn't turn her down. So here I was sitting another day through hell; sitting beside someone who I wanted to know so badly but couldn't because of the trouble it would cause!

Mike followed Bella into the class and I couldn't help but laugh at his thoughts. He was wonder how to broach the subject about the dance; Jessica asked him but he said he had to think about it. He didn't say the reason behind was because he wanted to see if Bella was going to ask him 1st! "So, Jessica asked me to the Spring Dance." "That's great, You'll have a lot of fun with Jessica." I had to hold in my laughter because Mike was cursing away in his head due to the face that she actually sounded happy for Jessica and himself. He wanted to savage this someway. "Well... I told her I had to think about it." "Why would you do that?" He clearly wasn't happy about that response because he was shouting in his head that he was waiting to see if he was had other opinions; like if Bella was going to ask him. This of course he couldn't tell Bella. Jesus I really wish I could know what was going through her mind at this type of conversation; due to the look on her face I would say that would have been something interesting to hear. Poor Mike had a bright face; I don't think I have ever seen him this red when it came to the opposite sex, he was always so confident that they wanted him and he knew it. "I was wondering if... well, if you might be planning to ask me." Okay now I had to see her face, I was dying to know if she was blushing like crazy, angry or annoyed. "Mike, I think you should tell her yes," Why the hell would say tell him to say Yes! Is she doing because she knows Jessica likes Mike; was there someone else that she liked? Did she already ask someone else to the dance? I watched as Mike's eyes flashed towards me wondering did she ask me; I wanted to turn around just to annoy him and say yes Mike Bella did ask me to the dance. Although I knew I couldn't because they would have just stared at me like I had gone crazy. I was to busy caught up in my own thoughts that the next thing I heard her saying was "I'm going to Seattle that Saturday." "Can't you go some other weekend? "Sorry, no," So you shouldn't make Jess wait any longer - it's rude."
