Bella and the bulldogs #newphie

Chapter 2- no hope

Authors notes: Sorry the first chapter was so short, I promise they will get longer, and I do plan to finish this story, and I hope to make it decently long.

Newts pov
Usually I would run after Sophie until she literally shoved me out of her way. But I just wasn't up for it. Every time she rejected me I lost a little sliver of hope for us ( and a ton of my dignity ) after a while those slivers have been piling up. She doesn't like me today, she didn't like me yesterday, and  5 years from now she still won't like me. I was out of hope. Why couldn't she see how perfect we are together? Why can't she just love me like I love her? Sometimes she can really be stubborn I thought. I need to change my technique, because this OBVIOUSLY isn't working . At the end of the  day I went to the football locker room so I could think. but I noticed Bella grabbing something from troys locker. "Uh Bella, what are you doing?" I asked. I think Troy might have taken my towels again. I opened my backpack and took out 3 small towels and handed them to Bella. "You took them?!" She exclaimed. "Sorry there just so soft" I said guiltily. "I know!" Bella agreed taking them into her section. As she came out and headed for the exist I stopped her. "Bella can I ask you something?" I asked seriously. " Of course what's up?" She said sitting down. "Sophie likes me right?" I smiled. Bella sighed "no" she said. "For the hundredth time no " I looked down. "Ok,ok" I sighed Bella stood up again heading for the exit. "Wait Bella" I asked again. "What now?" She complained. " how do I make Sophie like me?" I asked hopefully. "Newt you can't make someone like you she said, they either do or they don't. The more you force yourself on to Sophie the more she'll get fed up." She said. "Then what do I do?" I said defeatedly" "you move on" Bella said. "To forcing her to like me?" I asked. Bella stared at me weirdly. "Who said that??..." I said looking around.  "I'm sorry newt" she said leaving. I sat there by myself a couple moments. But then I got a brilliant idea. Move on!

Sophie's pov

"Where is Bella!" Pepper complained. "I told you she's looking for her towels, chill mama!" I said.  "Well why is it taking her so long?" Pepper said walking back and forth. "She's gonna make us late for Justin's party!" She exclaimed. Justin. Now he was boyfriend material. He was sweet and hot and romantic and taller then me!" "I'm here! Bella ran down the hallway towards us. "What took you so long!" Pepper scolded.  "Sorry! I had to change then find my towels, and then talk to newt about you!" Bella said pointing at me. I rolled me eyes. "What did you say?   "I asked out of curiosity. "Believe it or not I think I got him to move on" she said. I scoffed "seriously doubting that" I said. Bella shrugged. "Can this be a talk for another time? We're about to miss Justin's party!" "Right!" "Let's go!" I said. "I'm so exited!" Bella laughed as we ran off.

When we finally arrived at Justin's place I looked around. His house was big. "I call dibs on Justin!" I claimed. "What, no fair?!" Pepper whined" "yeah you get newt!" Bella teased. "Haha very funny" I said sarcastically. "Actually I wanted to ask you about that" pepper said. "What's so bad about newt?, I mean I know he's more in touch with his feminine side then other men, but he's really sweet and romantic and he cares about you a lot" pepper said catching me off guard. "Yeah that's true I would kill to have a guy like me that much" Bella added. "I don't know, I guess I just never thought of him that way" I said "well then start thinking" pepper said as we walked up to the house. Just for a second I considered being with him. But immediately stopped myself before I could even process the idea. "He's just not my type" I said. "Oh well" pepper said moving on.  "By the way about you calling dibs on Justin, I say first come first serve!" Said Bella dashing into the house  "hey no fair!" Pepper said
running after her. But I just stood outside. Against my will, I had thought about the idea of me and newt, and I had thought about all the sweet stuff he had said to me and done for me. Nuh uh. Stop it Sophie. I Thought to myself. He's not boyfriend material remember?  He's not your type. Just then I heard the house door open. Assuming it was my friends I jumped forward and said "coming!" But looking up I saw that it wasn't Bella and pepper. It was Justin. "Heeeyyy" I said nervously and in awe when I saw him. "Hey" he said. in s cool relaxed tone. " Your Sophie right?" He said. "Yeah" I said getting myself together. "What are you doing out here?" I asked. "Actually I saw you from out the window and came to see if you were ok" he said smiling . "Oh I'm just thinking, but it's sweet of you to check" I smiled. He smiled back . "So I was wondering, would you like to go out sometime?
