Chapter 4- Hostile Turn-out

Bella's POV

I woke-up at 4:00am, so I would have plenty of time to get ready. I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. The water felt so good on my skin. I washed my hair with Strawberry shampoo and conditioner, with my Cherry body wash. I got out of the shower and it was 4:45am. I had to wake the boys up at 6:00am.

I decided to wear my (in this exact order) mini jean skirt that was fraying at the bottom, a grey undershirt, yellow spaghetti strap shirt, a white shirt that went down to my elbows, and a pair of plain white flats.

I went back into the bathroom, and blow-dried my hair. When I was finished with my hair it was wavy and down to my shoulders. I put some white eye shadow, a thick coat of mascara, some light pink blush, and some dark pink lip-gloss. I looked at myself when I was done getting ready, and I was hot.

I only had 5 minutes left before I had to wake the boys up. I still can't believe that my shower, hair-dryer, and walking around since 4am didn't wake them up. I decided to have some Coco-Puffs for breakfast.

I trudged upstairs and walked into my closet and grabbed my air horn. Thank god that Charlie left at 3am each morning. I walked into the middle of the hallway, and pushed the button. There was a very loud siren sound.

"Get up boys! It's 6am and you need to get ready and eat. We leave at 6:30am! Move it!" I yelled as loud as I could,

There were unpleasant sounds coming from the rooms. It sound like I scared the heck out of them, and this was a cruel awaking. Emmett ran out of his room.

"BELLA! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING! YOU WOKE ME UP EARLY!" he shrieked at me.

"I am waking you guys up. By the way 6am is so not early. I woke-up at 4 this morning." Is said innocently and walked downstairs.

About 5 minutes later all of the boys came crashing into the kitchen and sat down. I had set the table with orange juice, milk, bowls, spoons, and 4 types of cereal.

"Bella, that was very harsh." Austin said.

"I agree. That was so uncalled for." Todd said.

"You scared the heck out of me." Jasper confessed.

"Remind me to find and kill that air horn." Emmett ordered.

"Bella, was it really necessary to wake us up like that?" Derek asked.

"Babies." I muttered.

"Actually it wasn't that early. I was up at 5 this morning." Edward smiled, and glanced at me.

Whoa. Edward was up at 5 this morning.

"What were you doing?" I asked him.

"Reading." He said casually.

I couldn't say anything. He was reading at the crack this morning, and that smile he gave me. I could tell that my heart increased rapidly. Why was it doing that? "I don't like Edward Cullen." I told myself.

"Bella, when did you get up?" Derek asked.

"4" I replied.

"Why?" Todd asked in confusion.

"I needed to take a shower, pick my outfit, do my hair, do my make-up, and eat." I answered the most obvious question in the world.

"Bella, you look really nice." Edward said.

"Thank you." I looked at him.

Our eyes met and I felt something that I have never felt before. Edward and I had a connection. I quickly looked down.

"Are you guys ready to go?" I asked.

"Yes, which cars we are talking?" jasper asked.

"I was thinking my jeep, which holds 5, and Jaspers car. Unless Edward wants to take his own car." Emmett said.

"That's fine." Edward and Jasper said in unison.

"Where is everyone riding?" I asked.

"Jasper is taking his car with one other person. Any volunteers?" Emmett asked.

"Me!" Austin shouted.

"That rest comes with me." Emmett said, and with that we walked out the door.

‑­

I walked over to Emmett's jeep, and stared up. Derek sighed and walked over to me. He was about to grab my waist when I heard whispering, and Emmett inclined his head towards Edward. Derek winked and stepped back. Emmett motioned Edward to come and help me.

Edward came over to me, and smiled. I couldn't breathe. He had this crooked smiled, and I loved it. Edward put his arms on my waist and lifted me up. My heart was accelerating like crazy. His touch felt so good. "I do not like Edward Cullen." I told myself.

Edward climbed in after I did, then Todd. Derek and Emmett sat in the front. The boys were talking very loudly, and I only managed to hear that football was over and it was baseball season. Yes!

"I'm sorry Bella." Derek said. I had no idea why.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Forks High only has sports for boys. None of the girls wanted to play anything. Besides cheerleading." Todd explained.

"Oh." My face fell.

"I'm sure that you can come to practice." Edward promised.

"I would really like that." I said, and we smiled at each other.

We arrived at school 10 minutes later. I hopped out of the car and Jasper pulled in to the spot next to us.

"Bella I can take you to the office, if you like?" Edward asked.

"Thanks." I said, and we walked away.

We walked in silence, and for some reason, I didn't like that. I wanted to hear his beautiful velvet voice. We walked into the office and over to the counter.

"Ms. Cope, this is Bella Swan she's new here." Edward said.

"Yes, of course. Here's your schedule, and I don't think that you'll need a map because you've got Mr. Cullen." Ms. Cope said and I blushed.

"Thank you." I said back.

"Mr. Cullen I want you to help Ms. Swan out today. I will give you a late pass for today, so none of your teachers will get mad, and you can help Isabella out all day." She ordered Edward.

"No need to worry." Edward promised. We smiled at each other and walked out the door.

"Bella what do you have 1st period?" Edward asked.

"Um...excelled math with Mr. Bonner." I told him.

‑­

"Ok, I'll walk you there." He said, and we walked off towards math.

"Edward are you sure it will be okay if I go to your baseball practice?" I asked him.

"It will be fine, I am the captain, and you doubt what I can get the coach to let me do. If you want you can even practice with us." He informed me.

"Really, Edward? That would mean so much to me." I shouted.

"Then it's settled, you will practice with me, I mean the team, today." He said and I gave him a hug.

I froze when I realized what I just did. I let go and stepped back.

"I'm sorry Edward." I apologized.

"It's ok, you were just happy. Nothing to apologize for." He said.

"I will be standing right here after 1st period for you. Okay?" Edward asked.

"Alright, see you later." I said and walked into the building
