Getting Ready
I managed to avoid eye contact with Edward for the whole class. I also managed to aviod running into Rose or Alice for the rest of the school day. But after school I wasn't so lucky. I didn't have my own car so I walked to Edward's car extra slowly but even that didn't work.
"Where were you? What happened with Edward? Did you guys make up? Did you make out? Come on Bella we need answers. We haven't got all day here!"
"I was at school. Nothing happened between Edward and I. We didn't make up yet. And no. No lip touching involved whatsoever."
"So Bella why were you with Jacob. And don't play innocent. We saw you walk into Biology with him."
"Fine... I'm going on a date with him this Friday." I sighed. I waited until they were over their shock. It didn't take that long.
"Jacob Black? Oh my gosh where are you going? We have to do your hair. And your dress. And your shoes. And you need a new purse. And makeup. Bella why didn't you tell us earlier?" They babbled on.
"What's up with them?" The guys came up to the car. I noticed Edward standing behind Emmett avoiding eye contact. That was good. I didn't want to look at him either.
"They're just a little bit excited because I have a date with Jacob this Friday."
"Really? That's great Bella. Your first date!" exclaimed Jasper.
"First date? Really? I had mine when I was like 10. Man was she a kisser..." said Emmett daydreaming about that kisser.
"Okay no details please." I said. I really didn't want to hear about Emmett's first kiss.
"So Bella... Where are you going?" asked Alice jumping from behind me.
I didn't notice her so I got a little scared. I jumped back and lost my balance. I fell towards Edward but too stuck in his thoughts he didn't catch me.
Luckily Jasper had better reflexes before my face came in contact with the floor (it happens quite often). "Thanks Jasper." I said straightening myself up.
"No problem." Alice started talking again when I was standing up.
"Bella are you okay? Didn't mean to scare you. Well anyways where are you going with Jacob? We need to know! We want to get your clothes ready for that big date." She continued to talk.
"I don't know Alice. Can we just get home before Charlie freaks?" I was impatient. I really didn't know much details and it's pressuring especially if this was only my first date.
"Okay. Let's go." said Edward speaking up for the first time. Wonder what he's thinking about. It didn't take long to get back to my house. It was close to the school.
"Bye guys." I said waving as I got out. "Bye Bella see you tomorrow."
I walked into the house. Charlie had a day off today because it was his daughter's arrival date.
"Dad!" I said and opened my arm for a hug when I saw him. He was lying on the couch watching NFL. "Bella!" he said and hugged me back. We caught up a little and soon we were discussing my love life. (not that I had one)
"So Bella... Did you go out with anyone lately?" I shook my head. He frowned probably thinking that I'm lying but he saw the truth in my eyes.
"That's good then..." I didn't know if I should tell him about Jacob but I knew he was going to figure it out eventually.
"Well I'm going on a date with Jacob this Friday..." I said cautiously. No need for Charlie to explode... "Jacob Black?" he asked. He knew him?
"Yeah... I guess." I still didn't believe he'd be happy I was going on a date.
"That's great. Jacob and his dad Billy are nice people. You should get to know him."
"Yeah... I will." That was the end of the discussion about my love life.
-Friday, Getting Ready-
"Come on Bella. Sit still. You don't want me to burn you right?" Alice was using the hot iron curler to curl my hair. Rose was busy giving me a manicure and pedicure. He wasn't going to even see my toes!
"Bella stop moving. You almost made me spill the bottle." Rose was giving me a french manicure. "All done." she said and twisted the bottle. "Her hair's done too."
"Here put these on." They handed me a knee high dress and some death high shoes.
"Are you serious Rose? These things? You want me to fall on my face right?" I asked and laughed. They did not know how impossible it was for me to walk in these shoes... or maybe they did.
"Just try them Bella." They gave me a little push into the washroom. I groaned internally and put on the dress. It was black with sequels on the hem. It look pretty.
I put on the shoes and I was surprisingly stable. If I didn't run. Or walk. Well if I didn't move in general.
The bell rang. "Bella!" shouted Charlie. "Your date's here!" I rushed out of the bathroom and grabbed my purse. While walking down I hoped it wouldn't be one of those cliche first dates...
