Bella, what are those?

I walked into English. Alice and I were in this class together, but I always sat next to Angela. We sat together in biology and I'd made a point of not sitting next to her, when I was avoiding her. We didn't want to change that now. Angela had asked Bret out, and was excited. Alice was going to come over that night, my dad was happy I was spending time with someone other than Angela and Seth.

I sat next to Angela, smiling at her.

"Hey, you nervous?"

Angela nodded, looking at me.

"Yeah. I really like her Bella."

I knew Alice could hear us, but Angela didn't know that.

"I know you do, Angela. But, I can see she likes you to. Just relax, and have a good time."

"I'll try, I'm just nervous. What about you and this whole crush on Alice?"

I blushed. I may have forgotten to tell Alice that I spoke to Angela about that.

"I like her, Angela. I just need to work out how I want to tell her. I mean, I'm nothing special.............. And she's ............ Alice."

"I'm not blind, Bella. She's pretty. But, if you just talk to her, it could work out. She knows you're ........ Different. She doesn't care, about that. She walked away from Jessica, Bella. Someone else would just believe her."

I knew I'd pay for that later, but I didn't care. Angela turned to get something out of her bag, and I wrote something down. I looked at Alice, who was glaring at me. Yeah, I'm going to pay for that. I smiled at her, and turned back to Angela.

"I'll think about it."

Angela was pleased that she had gotten me to agree. Or at least, she thought she did. The class ended, and I grabbed my stuff, standing up.

"Good. Thanks for pushing this thing with Bret. I really like her."

I shook my head, smiling. I could see that.

"I can see that, you'll have a great time, don't worry."

The rest of the class was quiet. Until I went into biology. I sat next to Alice, taking out my stuff. The teacher was out, so everyone was talking.

"So, is Angela excited?"

The class was fairly noisy, so we didn't have to worry about people over-hearing.

"Yeah, she is. She's nervous though. I tried to talk sense into her, though."

Alice smiled, but I knew she wouldn't mention anything else. I remembered that I had a little bit of work to do and started it. It meant I wouldn't have to do this later. Alice noticed me looking for my stuff and frowned. I explained that I had stuff to do.

"I have a bit to do, no point leaving it until later."

Alice nodded, and I started working.

"Emmett was asking about you."

I looked at her, I liked him, he seemed really nice.

"Yeah? I like him."

"Yeah, he likes you to."

I nodded, looking at my stuff. I was a little confused, and couldn't see where I was going wrong. Alice pointed to where I was going wrong.

"Here. That's wrong."

I checked it, and changed it, finishing everything. I put my stuff way and turned to her.

"Thanks."
