Real Women Have Curves (Twilight AU-Human)

Chapter 9: Energy

B POV

The shrill honk of a car breaks me from my train of thought. Oh God, they're here. Time to stop freaking out.

I check myself in the mirror. I'm wearing my favorite jeans, the one with the band that instantly slims you in the waist. I changed my shirt three times and finally decided on my green V-neck t-shirt and black fleece Columbia. My hair is pulled back into a half pony and I dug my eye shadow out of my barely used make-up kit my mom gave me two years ago. I went with gold. I pull on my old tennis shoes and head out the door.

Rose is standing outside wearing her Cheerleader outfit. The chest is black with green and gold lettering. The front has a Trojan helmet on it. She wears a shimmer gold long-sleeved shirt on under it. Her tennis shoes are black with green and gold laces. Her hair is pulled back in a high curled pony and she wears puffy paint on her cheeks, three dots in a line.

I walk briskly and jump into the back of Alice's bright yellow VW Bug. Rose sits back down and shuts the door.

"Hey Bella!" Alice greets. "I like the school spirit!"

"Thanks." I blush, I'm not nearly as spirited as them but then again they are cheerleaders.

"So, Rose and I were just discussing the post-game game plan."

"Oh, okay. What's the plan?" I ask.

"Well, all the cheerleaders are required to stay after the game to help clean up the bleachers. Edward obviously is going to take a little time to hit the locker room and change. So you can just hang outside the stadium while you wait for him. He'll drive you there and then we'll meet you there a little bit later."

"Sounds good." I agree.

In truth I was freaked out. I had never been to a high school football game. However, I told Angela I was going and she was so excited. She told me they're a lot of fun and that I could sit with her during the game. That made me feel better, at least I had someone who would be nice and comfortable to hang with.

"OH! I LOVE THIS SONG!" Rose squeals as she turns the song up. The song blares out of the car as Rose rolls down her window and starts yelling along to the song.

We sing along to the end of the Tal Bachman song as Alice pulls into the rear entrance of the stadium parking lot. We park alongside one of the outer walls and hop out. I help them carry some signs and pompoms up to the area where they will be cheering.

"OK!" Alice huffs as we return from the car for the second time. "Tanya has the rest of the stuff and is texting me when she gets here. Bella would you mind helping Rose and I set up a few of these signs until Angela gets here?"

"No, not at all." We hung signs that directed the students to one area and the parents to the another. A couple of "GO TROJANS!" signs were hung over the railing in front of where the students would be. Alice had disappeared at 6:20 to go help Tanya bring some more boxes out.

"So," Rose grapples for something to say as we sit waiting for Alice and Tanya to come back. "How do you like Forks so far?"

"Aside from having Tanya freak out on me, a giant food fight and detention?" I ask nervously. She giggles.

"I guess that's not a great start." She adds.

"I would think not." I stick my hands in my pockets.

"Well, it's not so bad. At least you're starting to make friends." She points out with a nod of approval.

"True," I agree. "Angela is really sweet. Edward seems to be okay. Alice is so easy to be around too."

"Angela is a super nice girl. Alice will be Alice. As for Edward, it's weird for him to really pursue a friendship with anyone. I don't think I've ever seen him really talk and hangout with someone outside of our group. It's kind of refreshing. I was beginning to think he had some sort of anti-social disorder."
