I felt like dressing according to season, the end of winder. I decide on skinny jeans, a sweater with the Batman symbol on it and some black Supra sneakers. I put on some black earrings that I adore and a spider necklace.

I brush my hair before I leave my bedroom. I pour myself a glass of coffee as my home phone I hooked up last rings.

"Hello?" I say before taking my first sip f then warm beverage, so eager for spring and warmer weather.

"It's Bella." The voice says.  "Charlie gave me your number."

I have that she doesn't call him dad. "I can't talk. I have school."

I hang up and I go outside to my car. I slide in behind the wheel, and I drive towards La Push High School. I pull into my spot beside Paul's truck and I step out. He gives me a kiss before we all go to be gym, where the prom committee is and chatting away.

"Brandi." Jared calls as he jogs across the gym. "There's my prom date."

I smile. "Here I am."

"I love that sweater." Jared smiles. "Love it."

"I do too." I reply. "That is why I wore it."

"Smartass." Jared growls before we join Paul and everyone on the bleachers.

Regina Crowe, head of the cheerleaders and prom committee, steps in front of the microphone and she does a couple hairflips. She has a thing for Paul, but he doesn't notice her like he would have before I came along.

"As you know, I am the head of the prom committee this get. The theme is red carpet. So, dress to impress."

The popular and slutty girls all cheer. The jocks go and get their dates.

"I want people to help decorate, any volunteers?" Regina asks into the mic.

Rachel and I stand and walk down.

"We'll be on the decoration committee." Rachel coaxed with Regina.

Regina fakes a smile or say and places the sign up list in front of us on the brown table with a pen. 

"Just sign your names, you're in." Regina says in we snobby voice.

I sign my name, Brandi Young, beneath Rachel's name. Regina is also on the list, as I figured. I take my seat with Paul again as Regina goes over times. We will be decorating this Friday, and prom will be Saturday.

"Is tomorrow Friday?" I ask Kim, who just got back from putting her name on the list as well.

"Yep, and we will spend all day in the gym, and stay útil it's done at dark." Kim replies. "I'll see you here?"

I nod.

Paul rides with me to Port Angeles, so I can get me some groceries. I walk into Piggly Wiggly with Paul right on my heels, being his protective self.

"Paul, back up a little before you trip me because of how close you are." I scoff.

"Sorry." Paul sighs and slows to my pace. "I just don't want anyone hurting you."

"You're close enough to not let that happen."

---

Paul helps me or my groceries away in my house before we drive to Sam's, where his truck is. Emily hugs me when I walk inside the house, almost smothering me.

"What is it wth you guys and smothering me lately?" I yell. "Ricky is dead!"

They all flinch.

"We jut want you safe."Emily coaxes.

"Just shut up about my safety!" I yell. "I am fine in Forks! Billy comes over there, and Jacob! When the Cullen's return, they will be there!"

I shout at them all before I storm out of the house. Jared stops me by grabbing my arm.

"You're in no position to drive, let me and I'll sleep over."

I sigh. "Whatever."

I give him my keys and I get into the passenger's seat, and slam my door. Jared looks at me with a knowing expression before he gets in the wheel of my car. He drives us to Forks and he just smiles.

"You're doing good for yourself, your mom would be proud."

My eyes gloss over at the mention of my mom.

"Oh, Brandi don't cry." Jared pleads, turning in the seat to look at me. "I'll feel bad."

"I'm sorry, just the mention of her brings back the memories." I sigh before I get out.

Jared gets out right after. "I forgot, I'm sorry."

I unlock the door and let the two of us inside. I'm glad Jared is my best friend. I begin gossiping about my love for Paul, and about where Regina likes him.

"Paul doesn't even look at Regina since you and around, Brandi." Jared points out.

"Yeah, I noticed that." I smile. "I start decorating for prom tomorrow. I have Rachel and Kim, so I'm safe around Regina."

Jared nods. "They won't let Regina bother you."

I go to the kitchen and I make some Cajun chicken, karnal corn, and Mac n cheese.

"I knew I smelled food." Jared smiles. "It smells good, best friend."

"Eat too, don't just smell of it." I scold the wolf.

I sit with my plate in front of me and I dig into my lovely cooking. I smile at the tastiness of my food.

"This is great, Brandi." Jared smiles. "I'm going to bed in the guest room, g'night B."

Jared goes to the guest room, and I wash the dishes. I put the left overs in the fridge and I go to my bedroom. I change into some pajamas as I lay in my bed. I toss and turn de about two hours before Jared walks in.

"Want me to lay in here, until you fall asleep?" Jared asks, concern lacing his words.

I scowl at his concern, but smile anyways. "Yeah, please."

Jared smiles softly and lays beside me. He talks to me until I fall asleep.
