Chapter 4

Oww Oww!!! Who’s That Hottie?

“Come on guys, it’s the Winter Carnival, you have to go!!” Alice pleaded.

“You are nominated for King Edward,” Rosalie said soon after.

I just shrugged my shoulders. Bella was sitting on the step above me playing with my hair. It kind of had a mind of its own, and she loved to shape it. Once she put a bow in it without me noticing, and I had managed to make it through two classes before someone finally told me. 

“Come on just drop it. I don’t have a date, and you all know that it wouldn’t matter if I did because you know I can’t dance. Remember the Homecoming fiasco?” Bella said throwing her arms out pretending to fall.

The girls had put Bella in these heels that were just screaming “accident waiting to happen” and sure enough before the dance had even started, she twisted her ankle causing me to take her to the hospital where we remained for the rest of the evening.

“Oh Bella. We’ll just put you in a smaller heel this time. Besides Edward can take you, he doesn’t have a date either,” Alice said glancing to me.

Once Alice caught me staring at Bella a little too long and guessed that I liked her. She has been trying to get us together ever since. It was true though, I didn’t have a date, which is partly why I wasn’t going. I had been dating Angela…kind of trying to get over Bella…but she had broken up with me after a month when I wasn’t paying enough attention to her; now she’s with Ben, and I have to say, they make a much better couple than we had.

“Besides, Newton’s having a party afterwards. We can finally get our little Bella here drunk,” Emmett said winking.

“We could go if you wanted. I mean, we don’t have to dance, but if you wanted to I promise I wouldn’t let go of you. Everyone’s going to be there, so we really wouldn’t have anything else to do,” I said turning my head to look up at her. 

“Great, then it’s settled. Bella, we’ll go shopping for a dress right after school,” Alice said clapping her hands.
