"What do you mean 'Lauren is in the nuthouse'?" I threw my hands up to quote Angela and she stepped back from my aggressive questioning. Her long frame tripped over a forgotten book on the floor which sent her into an awkward landing onto a sprawled Bella.
Bella humphed from her crush's weight and shot me a 'what the hell' look.
"Sorry Bells." Angela said sweetly before readjusting herself to sit beside her. Bella shrugged before pressing her face promptly back into the mattress, no doubt punishing herself for Lauren being committed.
It wasn't like she didn't deserve it. The girl had seemed plenty psycho to me.
"Do you know how long she'll be out of commission for?"
"Just a week. My grandparent's own the asylum so it wasn't so hard to figure all this out." Angela sighed while drumming elegant fingers impatiently on the bed frame.
"Your grandparents own an insane asylum?" I asked incredulously.
"It's the biggest and oldest still-standing building in Fork's history. Unfortunately Forks never got the memo that insane asylums are outdated and have bad mojo. They just call it mental hospital to feel better about it." Angela's demeanor was of someone entirely separated from the issue, although there was the barest thread of disapproval shadowing her words.
I tilted my head at her. "It's a little weird you have such a clear perspective about it since it's your family's."
She laughed a laugh that made Bella lift her head to watch. "My maternal and paternal grandparents hate each other. So I hear all kinds of interesting gossip that I can take with a grain of salt."
"Well hopefully Lauren comes back a bit nicer." I huffed. Seeing that my sister was done sulking, I left the room to give the love birds time to 'study'. Though they were such nerds that I'm almost certain that's what they'd be mostly doing anyway.
After having spent all of Sunday with Charlie, we'd returned to school with all of the usual enthusiasm. The stares and gossip had gotten worse since Lauren had disappeared, not that anybody but Angela had the grace to tell us why. It was made even worse once I realized the Sun was going to be out for two agonizingly long days so seeing the Cullens was not an option. And most unfortunately, the dance was approaching.
Normally, I would've already found/designed outfits for the event, then I would've accepted the most platonic possible date to spend the evening with whilst dragging Bella as my plus one. It was normally a great way to both make Bella leave the house and to see some fashion.
But Forks had a way of busting all of my potential fun to a million pieces. First off, Jazz was in no way a platonic date. Second off, although he'd expressed his interest in me over the insane weekend, we weren't quite explicitly boyfriend-girlfriend status like I would've liked. And something told me he would not appreciate being verbally prompted to take me to the damn dance.
Oh please. My inner voice snarked at me in an infamously bratty tone. He killed for you. Why the hell wouldn't he take you to the dance?
I resolved to plan the outfits since there was a very slim chance that things wouldn't go my way.
It later turned out that the dance would give me a bigger headache than intended when it became obvious that Fork boys were a different breed of stupid. Particularly on the day the sun decided to hide again.
