Two Loves are Better than One

Chapter 3

Field trip, Yayyy!... not. I wasn't fond of field trips, mainly because the ones i've been on sucked. Bella and I were by her truck and she seemed to be in deep thought. The teacher was by the bus asking everybody for their permission slips.

I then saw Edward, Jasper, and Alice get out of their cars and head toward the bus. They're coming? Maybe this field trip won't be so bad. Maybe.

"Look at you, huh? You're alive!" Mike said, mimicking a frankenstein movie.

"I know yeah, false alarm. I guess" Bella said

"Now, I wanted to ask you, you know, if, you know. It's like a month away but..." Mike said, laughing nervously "do wanna go to Prom with me?"

I noticed Bella was more focused on the person behind Mike...which was Edward

"So uh, what'd you think?" Mike asked

"About what?" Bella said, I face palmed.

"Do you want to go?" Mike asked, still laughing nervously "to Prom?...With me?"

"Oh uh, prom. Dancing. Not such a good idea for me. Uh, I have something that weekend anyway. I'm going to Jacksonville that weekend" Bella said

"Can't you go another weekend?" Mike asked

"Non-refundable ticket" Bella said, Mike just nodded and looked a little lost but then looked at me

"What about you, do you wanna, uh, go to Prom with me" He asked, I was disgusted that he would ask me right after Bella just rejected him. I didn't have time to say anything though before I felt an arm wrap around my waist.

"Sorry, she already has a date" I recognised that voice, I looked up to see that it was Jasper.

"Two actually" Another familiar voice said before I felt another arm around my waist, I looked over to see Alice. I gaped at them.

"Right?" She said, turning and looking at me expectantly.

"Oh, um yeah" I stuttered out, make this the second time they've saved me. 

"You should ask Jessica" Bella said "I know she wants to go with you"

He looked over at jessica who waved at him.

"Yeah, ok" He said, he gave us a weird look before leaving.

"Yo, yo, yo. Hey, guys, come on" The teacher said, waving everyone toward the buses "We gotta go, we gotta go. Green is what? Good. let's go"

We all headed towards our buses, Jasper still had his arm around me and Alice was holding my hand. All while acting like this was completely normal. I suddenly began to calm down a little. As we were about to board the bus the teacher yelled

"Hey, Swan, you're not on that bus"

"Yes, I am" I yelled without even looking back at him, we boarded the bus and Alice and I sat in one seat while Jasper sat in the on next to us. We were silent for a couple of minutes before I spoke up,

"So about the Prom thing-" I started

"Oh yes, we definitely have to color coordinate on our outfits, it's going to be so much fun!" Alice said excitedly.

"So, you guys were serious? You want to go with me?" I asked perplexed

"Yeah, of course we do" Jasper said

"But how would this work?" I asked "With three of us?"

"It'll be fine" Alice said "We'll work it out"

I smiled, maybe this trip won't be so bad after all.

"Your mom called....Again"Dad said as we entered the Kitchen, sighing and folding his newspaper up, Bella and I set our backpacks down.

"Well, that's your fault. You shouldn't have told her about the "Almost" accident, you finished?" She said, taking his plate

"Yeah, I suppose you're right, she always did know how to worry" Dad said

"Chill out Bella, what was he suppose to do? Not tell her?" I said

"Yes" She said plainly

"Well she would've eventually found out and then have been mad that we didn't tell her in the first place" I pointed out. Bella didn't say anything, just drank her water.

"Well, I'll be up in my room if you need me" I took off my jacket and threw it on my bed. I popped my knuckles, powered up my computer, and got my history textbook out. The project included a poster/presentation and a paper, I might as well get the paper out of the way now.

~~~~~~~~~~~

When I got to History the next day, Jasper and Alice were already there,

"Hey, guys" I greeted as I sat down "Oh, I almost forgot" I dug through my bag until I found the paper. "I did the paper portion last night."

"Wow" Alice said, looking at the stack of papers "You did this in one night?"

"Yeah, I mean, I didn't get a whole lot of sleep but once I started I didn't want to stop" I laughed.

"Well, I guess the other half of the project is up to us then" Jasper commented with a small smile

"You bet it is!" I laughed again, "although if you guys absolutely need help, I guess I could spare some of my time" I joked.

"That would be much appreciated" Jasper replied with a small smile, wow I was getting him to talk more, awesome!

At lunch I walked with Bella over to the rest of our friends.

"La Push, baby. You guys in?" Eric asked

"Should I know what that means?" Bella replied

"La Push beach down a the Quileute Rez. We're all going tomorrow." Mike said

"Yeah, there's a big swell coming in" Jesica added

"And I don't just surf the internet" Eric said, standing up and pretending to surf. I laughed as Jessica said

"Eric, you stood up once, and it was a foam board"

"But there's whale watching too, come with us" Angela said

"La Push, baby. It's La Push" Eric said dramatically

"Ok, I'll go if you stop saying that, okay?" Bella said, smiling

"Count me in too" I said as Bella left to go get food. I sat down and put my tray on the table.

"So, Lily, I heard you're going to prom with Jasper and Alice Cullen" Eric said,

"What, no way" Jessica said gawking, while I glared at Mike.

"Hey don't look at me" he said defensively "They wanted to know if you and Bella were going."

"I fully support you, I think it's cute if not slightly weird" Angela said, I laughed,

"Thanks" I said, sincerely.

"Yeah it's weird, how do all three of you even go out?" Jessica said "it doesn't make any sense"

I rolled my eyes

"Lot's of crap doesn't make sense, plus this is an actual thing, It's called polyamory and like tons of people do it" I defended, she opened her mouth "And if you say something else I will literally hit you" She closed her mouth and put her hands up in surrender, but they know that those remarks were just empty threats.

"Is Bella talking to Edward?" Mike said, everybody looked over to the salad bar.

"Do you think they'll get together?" Angela asked

"I don't know they seemed to give mixed signals, one minute they're getting along and the next they don't like each other" I sighed "it's really annoying."
