A/N: Please note that the chapters have not been fully edited and if there are any spelling mistakes I apologize.
Everyone has finished eating and my brother hasn't said a word this whole time. He is a horrible liar so when my mom notices how quite he has been she stares at him and he looks very nervous.
"There is something I need to say," my brother stands up from his chair and all eyes are on him. Please don't do this in front of the guests! I look at him with pleading eyes but he just ignores me. "Mom, I am going to be a father." He says in one breath, everyone gasps and my mom excuses herself and my brother from the table. I mouth good luck to him and he nods getting dragged away by my mom. I am now beyond uncomfortable.
"Well thank you for inviting us over," Caroline says while they all get up from there seats.
"It's no problem," I say looking down at the floor, that is until I feel a warm hand on my shoulder.
"You might wanna close your curtains while you're changing," he whispers in my ear sending shivers down my body. I feel myself blush as he leaves my house with a smirk on his face.
That just happened.
Wait! He saw me naked! Mom prepare my death bed, I want to be wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants when I am being buried. Oh and don't forget to keep my necklace on me!
I hear screaming from upstairs and that is my cue to leave the house. I start walking down the street but I stop when I see Scarlet and Tom kissing each other down the road. I smile but gag because seeing basically my brother make out with my best friend is kind of gross. I love them together but I guess I didn't really think about PDA. I quickly back away but run into a hard chest.
"Whatcha watching?" He says looking at me.
"Um nothing?" I say to Matt but it came out more as a question. Then he looks over my shoulder and realization crosses his face. I look back at them trying not to stare into his dazzling eyes.
"Hey that's the Tom guy isn't it?" He asks.
"Um yeah," I say and then Scar sees me and she waves me over. Then she sees who is beside me and she freezes. Her straight red hair getting blown in the wind. Her green eyes piercing through my soul. She going to kill me! I walk over to her and she looks flustered but very angry.

"I'm Matt," he says taking his hand out for Scar to shake it. She nods and then takes his hand. He looks at her and when she doesn't respond I cue in.
"Sorry, this is Scarlet. She is mute which is why she didn't introduce herself." I look at Scar then at Tom and then at Matt. Matt is looking at me with something I can't really tell in his eyes.
And then I look and see Scar staring at me like she is about to rip out my soul.
I cough awkwardly. Cheezus does my whole life have to be awkward?!
I know that she wants to know what the heck is going on with me and Matt. But there is nothing so I just won't tell her. She starts doing sign language 'what the hell is happening? Are you two like a couple!'
I sign back 'What no! He is just my neighbour and goes to my school!'
"You sure about that Belle? I can break his nose," right I forgot that Tom was standing there. I look over to Matt who looks so confused.
"Yes I'm sure!" I say looking back at all of them. "Anyways, I gotta...um...I'm...running...Yeah I'm going on a run!" Tom and Scar burst out laughing.
"You, Bella Snow are going on a run?!" Tom laughs once again clutching his stomach and tears are running down his face.
I pout and look at them.
I see Scar also crying of laughter.
Wow is it that unbelievable?
Yup it definitely is, I hate running or anything physical for that matter. And I know what all your dirty minds are thinking but just don't!
"What's so funny?" I ask and Matt looks just as clueless as I was.
"The fact that you're going on a run! You have never ran before unless you felt obligated." Tom says settling down.
He speaks the truth.
"Well I could run with you, teach you." Matt says. That is one really bad idea! He will have to be going 1 millimetre an hour to keep up with me. I am so slow and I run out of breath so fast it's unbelievable!
"You know, um I think that maybe I shouldn't run. Walking does sound nice though." I say ignoring his offer.
"Can I walk with you?" He looks down at me and it is so hard saying no to anybody. I then look at my two best friends who are arm in arm with wide eyes. Scar is smiling while Tom looks like he is about to pounce. Like a cheetah!

What is with me and animal references? I guess we'll never know. That immediately made me think of many songs that have those words in it.
"Uh... yeah sure," I say looking down at the ground. When I look back up at him he is smiling. I then look at Scar who is still smiling. I give a 'please help me out of this situation' look which she does nothing about. So we start walking down the street.
I look back trying to get help but they are already walking to the house with there backs faced opposite of me.
"You know, you're a lot more talkative at home then at school." This guy doesn't know the half of it.
"Yeah, I guess. I feel more comfortable with people I have known for a long time." He just nods and I look around the street.
"Where are we going?"
"I-I um. Well I have this special place I go to a lot but we can go somewhere different," I say to him.
"No let's go to this special place of yours." He smiles down at me. I'm not that short but he is pretty tall.
We walk in a comfortable silence until I start walking in the forest and he stops. "You're special place is in a forest?" I stop and look at him.
"Uh yeah..." I say as he starts walking again.
"Well then this will be great!"
"Are you being sarcastic?"
"No! I love nature..." his tone was normal so I was only assuming that he wasn't joking.
We arrive at the destination. It is a secluded lake. It's like the one in Anna Todd's book After. Yes I read Wattpad books, I'm a helpless romantic. I instantly put my feet in the water after taking my shoes off dangling from the deck that runs out around 3 meters from the land. Matt follows me and does the same. Next thing I know I am being pushed into the water. I let out a squeal right before hitting the water. My sweatpants and sweatshirt dragging me down. This is nothing like the cliche moment in the books. I rise up from the water gripping the deck. Matt is laughing at me and his feet are no longer dangling in the water. Then I remember something when this does happen in the books. I glare at him then when he looks at me still laughing I say "can you give me a hand?" Yup I think you can see where this is going. He gives a hand and I pull him into the water. I realize that was a bad idea. I see all of his muscles through his white shirt and I can't help but stare.
"Wow real classy," he says as we both get up on the deck. I immediately feel like I am being dragged down by the wetness of my pieces of clothing. I open my arms and look down at myself.
"Oh cheezus!" I say and then Matt laughs at me.
"Cheezus?"
"Yes that's what I said. I'm freaking freezing," I say and then start squeezing my hoodie and pants out. Then I waddle like a penguin trying to get home. I take this guy to my favourite place and this is what I get.
"Hey where are you going?" He says running up to me.
"Obviously home. I feel disgusting."
"Are you mad at me?" He frowns and then I look away and continue walking.
"It doesn't matter,"
"Yes it does. I'm sorry I was just trying to have some fun. I guess what you were wearing want the best to go swimming in."
"You think?" I say sarcastically. I'm being mean. "Sorry. I didn't mean to sound mean."
"Your apologizing when I was the one who threw you into the water?"
"Yes?"
"You are so different from other people," um I'm not going to take that as a compliment.
"Thanks," I mumble.
"No! I mean it's good thing! Not a bad thing at all! Everybody's different and you know I was just saying-" I start laughing at him.
"What so funny?"
"You're rambling." He scratches the back of his neck and looks at me with a small smile. Aw that's so cute.
"Uh I tend to do that sometimes. Well actually rarely ever, it's just when I'm nervous. Not that I'm nervous right now, it's just, well you are like I said different and I am just trying-" I start laughing again. He then looks at me with amusement in his eyes. It's so cute that he gets nervous like this.
"Sorry," he mumbles under his breath so silent I can hardly hear it.
"Don't be sorry. What are you even apologizing for?"
"Pushing you in the water, rambling, being-" I cut him off again. Does that mean I'm being rude by cutting him off when he's in the middle of talking?
"Please don't apologize! You don't need to be sorry. Really it's was nice to get dumped in the freezing cold water in my sweatshirt and pants." He laughs and I smile.
