Twilight

"It's been a long time since we've gotten to hang out." I smiled at Bella who sat in front of me.

"I know, I'm sorry about that. I've just been hanging out with Jacob." She replied.

"It's alright."

"I invited him." Bella stated, and then the waitress came by with Bella's food and my glass of water. "I hope it's okay."

I didn't say anything because I knew Jacob was already here when I saw the bike and caught a whiff of his scent. He looked more buff than before, but still scrawny and boyish at the same time.

"Hey Bella." Jacob hugged her and then turned to me. "Kora."

I stared at him, wondering why he wasn't angry at my being here.

"Jacob wanted me to thank you for him, for taking care of me." Bella stated and then the waitress came by again but with Jacob's order. She had a thing for Jacob, but he never paid any mind to her because he obviously had a thing for Bella.

"I didn't do it for you." I stated staring at Jacob.

"Please, no fighting." Bella stated. "I've got this crazy idea, but hopefully it'll work if it starts with you two."

Both Jacob and I turned to her in confusion.

"Can you two please get along? As friends." She stated.

I laughed, "Not a chance."

"Not even in movies does that happen." Jacob joked.

"I know it's crazy, but it can be a start. Which is why I invited both of you. I just hate to be choosing."

"You don't have to choose anymore, Bella. I'm here, he's not." Jacob stated and I quickly gave him a nasty glare.

Bella got quiet, and then I changed the subject.

"So what are we doing after?"

"We are going to go biking, Jake finally finished them." Bella smiled.

"You're into motorcycles?" I asked her.

"She's suddenly Miss Dangerous." Jacob stated. "But you aren't invited." He pointed at me.

Before I could say anything, Bella informed that it was over at the reservation, so I nodded. We hung out a while longer, just talking little. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. After we were done, we headed our separate ways. I made my way home and decided to do chores because I still was ignoring Noah. I had to turn off my phone, I stopped going to club meetings and only hung out with Angela. If Noah tried to talk to me, I ignored him completely.

It was almost too hard once because he grabbed my hand and demanded I talk to him until Luca came by and spoke to Noah as I walked away. I wasn't sure what Luca told him, but Noah began to accept that I wouldn't be talking to him anytime soon.

I had a girl's night with Angela and Natasha. We went to see a movie, out to eat, and then hung out at Angela's house because she was home alone. Her family had went out of town to visit her grandmother. Angela stated that she didn't go because she had work and couldn't afford to take another day off, and she didn't really get along well with her grandmother.

"Can I ask you something?" Natasha asked, staring at me so I nodded. "It's only because there's rumors and Luca won't tell me, and I'm just curious..." her voice trailed and I knew what she was going to ask.

Angela had asked a couple of times as well but I didn't tell her on cause of my moodiness, so Angela was more than intrigued.

"What is going on between you and Noah?" Natasha asked.

I looked around, trying to think of what to say. The truth would be so much easier because then I wouldn't have to pack over so many lies. I would get confused with my lies sometimes.

I cleared my throat. "Well, we were on a date in Seattle, and we got into a small argument. He had joked about something, I don't quite remember what, but it didn't faze me. So we argued on and I just didn't like how he was looking at the waitress." I swallowed, feeling the pain in my lies because everyone knows Noah wasn't like this. I continued on. "Well, it angered me more, so on the way home we fought and then turns out he had been messaging his ex-girlfriend."

The girls got quiet, Angela glancing down and Natasha giving me a sympathetic smile. I shrugged it off as whatever, and before I could change the subject, Angela spoke.

"I'm just shocked that Noah would do something like that after experiencing it himself."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, two years ago he was dating this girl named Hannah. Long story short, she cheated on him, but he forgave her. Only to find out that she was seeing the guy behind Noah's back." Angela informed. "He was so heartbroken after, didn't speak for months. He ended up moving to live with his aunt and uncle in Ohio, and then came back in the beginning of our junior year."
