Adventures in Camping
Chapter 1: Vacations Are Supposed to be Fun
BPOV
To say that I was annoyed was an understatement. No I was more than that. I was furious. And in case you haven't guessed it, Edward Cullen, as usual, is the source of my fury. He had crossed me for the last time. I walked towards his locker. When I got there his back was turned to me. So I kicked him to get his attention. He spun around.
"What did you do!?" I said to him and he grinned. Jerk.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"YOU TOLD EVERYONE I WAS DATING MIKE NEWTON! AND NOW HE THINKS WE ARE DATING!" Everyone in the hallway stared at me. I blushed.
"Oops." I walked away from him and out the door before I could kill him. I'd probably regret it later. Not the killing him part but the part where Charlie would have to arrest his own daughter.
I guess I should explain. See, my dad and Edward's dad have always been good friends but were never forced together. Mostly we just ignored each other. I was forced together with Rosalie and Alice. We were best friends now. Edward had started getting on my nerves in junior high when in the cafeteria, he SPILLED HIS CHILLI ALL OVER ME WHEN HE 'TRIPPED'! But I know for a fact that he did it on purpose as a dare that one of his friends made him do. Whatever, I'm over it. But the hate remains.
As I rounded the corner of my truck I saw Mike leaning against the front door of my truck. He saw me. Dang it.
"Hey Bells." I think he was trying to say this in a sexy voice but I was still severely turned off by him.
"Um...hi."
"So, I was wondering...since you and I are boyfriend and girlfriend now-" I cut him off, horrified. He said YOU as in ME and I as in HIM and BOYFRIEND and GIRLFRIEND in the same sentence. Mix those words up along with Edward and you get me beating him to death.
"We are not dating Mike." I made sure to emphasize the 'not.'
"Okay."
"Look Mike I know you-. WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?"
"I said okay."
"Really? Are you serious?" Wow. This is certainly a change. Maybe Mike isn't as big of an idiot as I thought he was.
"Sure. If my little spice melon wants to pretend we're not gong out to downplay the attention we're getting at school then fine."
"I AM NOT YOUR SPICE MELON!" At that moment I saw, out of the corner of my eye, Edward pass by my truck laughing madly. Did I say beating to death? I meant strangle to death. Much quicker. Mike interrupted my violent thoughts. More reason to be annoyed with him.
"Look, spice melon, I know that we are different in many ways. But WE BELONG TOGETHER! I wrote this poem for you." He took out a crumpled peace of paper while everyone in the parking lot looked on, hearing Mike's outburst, except for Jessica who, I could tell from the icy tone she used with me today, wasn't exactly happy with me and Mike going out.
NO! WAIT! I MEAN RUMOR THAT MIKE AND I WERE GOING OUT! DAMMIT EDWARD, YOU MADE ME MIX MY WORDS UP TOO! Mike cleared his throat.
"Roses are red. Violets are blue. We belong together. Mariah Carey deemed it so. WE LOVE EACH OTHER! Ummmm, that's as far as I got." Everyone in the lot busted into laughter.
I was speechless. First, it made sense. At least the poem did. But I don't like him like that AND the poem didn't even rhyme! Before I could slap Mike for publicly humiliating me, Rosalie swooped in and grabbed my shoulders in restraint. Alice shoved Mike away while he yelled, "GOOD BYE SPICE MELOOOOON!"
Yep, Edward was as good as mince meat in my eyes.
My two best friends made sure I got into my truck saying soothing words to me. Soothing wasn't going to help me kill Edward so I just ignored them. I drove away from that spot.
As I walked into the house, I heard Charlie on the phone with someone. He quickly said goodbye and hung up on whoever he was talking to and said, "BELLA! We're going camping!"
"We are?" Why would Charlie want to go camping? He didn't strike me as the type of person who would like that kind of stuff.
"Yep. With a friend of mine and his family." I should have suspected who he meant right there but I didn't. If I had it would have prepared me for the next few words.
"With Dr. Cullen."
LATER...
I was talking to Alice on the phone.
"...Anyways, my spring break is ruined now!"
"OHMYGODBELLA! Did you know there's NO electricity in the forest!? NONE! Why couldn't Charlie and Carlisle have arranged for us to go to somewhere else, like Hawaii! I hear the tanning is good there."
"Alice. You are not listening to me. I have to spend two weeks with EDWARD- ANNOYS- THE- HELL- OUT- OF- ME- CULLEN!"
"What's your point?"
"Did you know what he did to me today?"
"Oh please. Bella remember when that guy, Dick, had a crush on me in PRE-K but he always said really mean things to me?" Of course, I remembered him! You don't forget names like that.
"Yeah."
"Good. Then you know that Esme said that was because he had a crush on me. When people do cruel things to each other it's because they like each other."
"OR it's because they really hate each other."
"Fine. Live in denial. Rose and I are coming over. We have to pick our outfits for camping."
"Are you kidding me? Alice we're gonna be in the for-"I heard the phone click. Alice had hung up. And I was stuck with this trip.
Life had worked out so well.
The doorbell rang. There was no way Alice and Rosalie had gotten here so fast unless...
The door opened.
"HEY BELLA! Bet you wanna know how we got here so fast huh?"
"Yes, I would."
"We were already on our way here! We have to make you look good for Edward."
"Ugh. Rose, you believe that crap too?"
"It's not crap. It's true."
WHY ME!?
EPOV
Alice and Rosalie had teased me to no end about the camping trip.
"In the quiet peaceful forest, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan snuggle-"
"Rosalie, do you know what I did to Bella today?"
"Yes. It's because you like her."
"No, it's because we're enemies." Rose and Alice gave each other a knowing look.
"Riiiiiiiiiiiight." Then they walked out the door. Probably to go to some mall.
Okay, it was a lie. I sort have had a crush on Bella since I saw her. I knew the hate started after I dumped chili on Bella in middle school. Emmett dared me to after I said over and over again that I didn't like her. Why are my family members insisting that I do like her? I mean, I did but still. They're not supposed to know that.
Twenty Minutes later...
Rosalie and Alice busted through the front door holding a squirming Bella by each arm. Bella looked at me, pleading for me to help her with her eyes. But she must of realized what she was doing because then, her eyes tightened in anger.
"Maybe you guys should loosen up on the whole death grip." Rosalie and Alice swiveled to look at me and then slowly smiled.
"Helllllooooo Edward. What are you doing here?"
"I live here, Alice."
"We know. But you're standing by the door. Are you waiting for something? Someone?" I immediately became defensive.
"I didn't know you were coming here with Bella. I told you I don't like her." I saw a hurt look flash in Bella's eyes but I quickly strode out of there when I saw the deadly looks on Rosalie's and Alice's faces. They were going to kill me for that later but I knew that Bella didn't like me so what was the point of trying to impress her anyway?

Edward walked out the foyer and into the living room after he said those words to me. The words that made me forget my anger with him. I don't like her. The words shouldn't even bother me but they did. Alice and Rosalie were constantly saying that I liked Edward and it was kind of... true. Well... I mean...I just...I don't...UGH. I don't know. I can kinda see why girls swoon over him. With those green eyes and that soft bronze hair.... I quickly shook my head to get rid of those thoughts. I told myself that I was supposed to hate him but that wasn't working so I concentrated on the words Alice was saying.
"Edward, is having a bad day, Bella. Just ignore him." Rosalie was quick to agree. Then we were in front of the worse room in the Cullen mansion. The make- up room. Yes, Rosalie had persuaded Esme to get them a MAKE- UP ROOM. Once more I questioned why I came to this house anymore. And then I remembered. My trips here were never voluntary. They dragged me here after I started to complain about the room.
As they smothered me in cosmetic and clothes I didn't even wanna think about, much less look at, I wondered exactly what would happen on the camping trip. And then shuddered at the thought.
Please review to tell me if you liked the changes. And keep in mind that I will try to make the next chapters longer which makes you happy. But I wont be happy without some reviews. Just throwing that out there.
