Stand By You ➰ Leah Clearwater [1]

"Dress to impress? No, I dress to depress. I want to look so good that people hate themselves."

"Declan, after school today we are going shopping with you for the dance."

Declan groans resting his cheek on the palm of his hand. "Shopping? Can't I just wear the suit I wore to your guys graduation three years ago?"

Alice narrows her eyes. "No, that suit is outdated."

"It is not, all suit looks the same Ally."

"This is not up for negotiation Declan, you are going shopping with the boys and Rose, Esme and I are taking Leah to get a dress."

"Why?"

"So you guys could match." She responds an obvious tone in her answer.

"So we could match? Can't I just call and tell her what I am wearing?"

"No, it doesn't work that way, now suck it up."

"Alright, alright. Jeez."

The familiar sound of the blares through the cafeteria.

"Saved by the bell." Declan mutters causing Alice to glare at him once again.

"Love you Ally." He announced with a grin.

"Love you too, Declan. But you aren't getting out of shopping."

Grabbing his books he grins, shrugging. "I've accepted my impending doom."

Edward chuckles. "You should see what she has planned for Prom."

"Oh my goodness."

Smiling at the whining of the youngest Cullen the rest of his siblings begin to walk their separate ways as they depart to their classes.

Declan hits Edward on the arm lightly a grin on his face. "What?"

"You watched Bella sleep?"

Edwards expression turns to annoyance. "Alice?"

"I told her that I would buy her the shoes that she wanted when they came out if she told me where you went last night."

"Yes, I watched her sleep. She talks in her slumber as well."

"Edward, dude. That's a little weird."

"Not it's not."

"Yes, it is. You are watching a girl -that you barely know by the way- sleep. You are climbing into her window and watching her sleep."

"You're saying it like it is a crime."

Declan stares at him for a moment.

"Because it is? Dude, you are trespassing and watching her sleep. Her dad is the chief of Forks. Be careful."
