Next thing I know I being woken up by someone jumping on top of me.

"Wakey wakey Mattie!" Liz squeals in my ear. Liz is 6 years old and the one thing I care most about in this world.

Quite depressing I know.

"Just a few more minutes," I groan stuffing my face in the pillow. I hear sniffles and I see my sister fake crying.

"Fine," I whine while picking her up and spinning her around.

Yup, I'm awake now, Liz is screaming and laughing in my ear.

I open my curtains to find a shirtless Bella.

I quickly close the curtains.

Holy. Crap.

I mean she had a bra on but still! I realize Liz is on my back so I set her down.

"She was naked!" Liz screams. "Mom! Mattie was looking-" I grab her and cover her mouth.

"Oh no you don't!" I say. I am in a boxers and nothing else so I let go of my sister and put some clothes on.

She just walks away and doesn't say a word. I decide on a white shirt with jeans.

I run downstairs and realize is 11:30am.

"Finally! We are heading over to there house right now!" Mom says looking at me while I yawn.

I have messy hair and I look like a zombie. I sound like girl. I swear I'm a lot more masculine than feminine!

We all leave the house and Liz is on my shoulders while ruffling my hair even more. My mom has a pie in her hand that I know she did not make. My mom tried to bake but fails miserably.

We knock on the door 4 times before someone answers. I'm just about to knock again until someone opens the door.

"Sorry," Bella exclaims. She is wearing a hoodie and sweatpants. But she be looking so adorable. She then lets us in and we all sit down at the table which is set up pretty nicely.

There house Is kinda messy but who am I too judge. But there are a lot of people in such a small house so it's understandable.

"Hiiiii! I'm Margret!" An older lady says shaking my moms hand.

"Thank you so much for inviting us over! Oh and I'm Caroline!" My mom says while shaking Bella's moms hand.

"Oh it's no problem at all! I love company!" She says in an over cheery tone.

"Nugget! Tom won't be h-" Bella's brother stops taking in the view infront of him. "Sorry I didn't realize everyone was here. What I meant to say was Tom isn't coming."

"Where is he?" Bella asks standing up from her seat. If I didn't know any better I would say she is excited he is gone.

"Probably smooching it up with-" Bella slams her palm against her brothers mouth and then she whips out her phone with a huge smile on her face.

BELLAS POV

I instantly whip out my phone and text Scarlet.

Me:Please tell me he is with you!

She responds 30 seconds later.

Scarlet:And if he was?

I squeal. Yes, like a mouse.

Me:OMG! I'm dying over here!

Scarlet: Girl don't die on me! Who will be my translator?!

I laugh a little and squeal with excitement. I get a few glares from the table but I don't care. Scar is my best friend and just so happens to be mute. She got in an accident when she was younger and she just can't speak, she is physically capable of doing so but not so emotionally. She has tried so hard to speak but after her car accident where most of her family died she just hasn't spoken a word. All she has left is her dad but he is in the military.

Scarlet takes on 3 jobs in her life and I have 2, 1 for my family and 1 to help Scar with the rent. Most of the Martin family died in that car accident. Her sister and 2 brothers, along with her mom. This was 3 years ago.

Getting away from that depressing topic, I have been trying to set up Tom with Scar for ages!

And then I find out now that she is out with him, and she didn't tell me! If she doesn't tell me how am I supposed to spy on them and squeal every time he smiles at her!

Me: That's your problem! You didn't tell your best friend whom has been trying to set you guys up for the last 2 years!

Scarlet: Fine I'm sorry! Gotta go, ttyt!

Stands for talk to you tomorrow. Even though she can't talk....

Me: I want all the deets!

Scarlet: Of course your majesty!

I laugh and notice everyone's eyes me. I run up to Bry and whisper in his ear.

"It's finally happening!" I squeal in his ear. He smiles then let's go of me. He knows what I'm excited about without me even having to tell him.

"Well then let's celebrate! With this lunch that our guests are here for.." he says looking at the guests who look rather awkward. I'm not going to lie I kinda forgot they where here. So we both go and sit down.

"Hun, what's with the screaming?" My mother says as soon as I sit.

"Just Scar," I see a worrried expression on her face so I add on "she's fine mom, beyond fine!"

"She speaks again!" My moms says in her accent. I hate the grammar she will use sometimes but I am not complaining.

Technically that was complaining but I didn't mean to complain. Wow I sound like a 3 year-old kid!

"No," I sigh "but, she and well someone are well you know," I say not wanting to involve the guests. Then I notice someone who is didn't see before.

"Oh, I'm Bella!" I say looking at the little girl in front of me.

"I'm Elizabeth! But you can call me Liz or Lizzy," she says looking at her brother whom I also forgot was there.

"Well it's nice to meet you," I say smiling at her and she returns the gesture.

"You're so pretty!" She says and I feel like blushing. I don't think I have ever been called pretty before.

"Aw thank you, but I'm really not. You on the other hand are a sight for sore eyes!" I say looking at her blonde hair.

She looks nothing like her brother but she does look like her mom. She smiles at me probably not even understanding what I just said.

"So Bella," Matt's Mom starts saying "do you have a job? Or any in mind?" She asks glaring at Matt.

"Um actually I work at a restaurant downtown. They make us wear fake glasses and have everything the exact same as all the other waiters." I respond.

I took a job downtown because I'm to afraid of seeing someone from school and then judging me. But then again I hate downtown because it reminds me of New York with all the pot and smoke smells wherever you go. There also so many people and I get claustrophobic. Good thing I live in Ottawa and I feel at home wherever I go.

My outfit to work there is a black tight pencil skirt, a white button up long sleeve, that girls tie so it is a little cropped, red lip stick, fake back glasses, black heels, and hair down. I forgot what they call those white dress shirts but that was what I was trying to describe, it like the ones guys wear under a tux, or is it part of a tux? I hate wearing lip stick and heels but I actually look white good with red lipstick when it's not smeared all over my teeth.

"Well that's fun! I should go see that place sometime!" Caroline replies sending another glare Matt's way. He just looks at his plate and I see a small smile playing on his lips.

"My moms mad at me because I don't have a job like a lot of other teenagers," Matt says looking at me with a smirk plastered on his face.

What is with smirking guys. Why are they always so good looking?

"All Mattie ever does is read and hang out with his friends, he is boring!" Liz says flopping down into her chair. He reads? I saw him in the library's but I just thought, well actually I didn't even think about it.

An attractive guy who likes to read. I like the sound of that.

But no guy actually ever really notices me unless a teacher calls on me in class.

Half the time they have no idea what my name is and I can't really blame them.

"Reading is fun!" Matt protests against his little sister.

"No it isn't!"

"Actually I do enjoy reading," I say very silently but catching attention from the table.

Suddenly I feel very uncomfortable. I squirm a little in my seat. Hah! Like worm!

"Oh yes," my mother says "I can hardly ever get my daughter to put her books down! She read one in the span of a few hours and then move onto next! She at least finish 7 this week!" I quietly sink down into my chair because everything my mom said was true. The only thing she got wrong was that I actually read 8 books this week.

"Oh well looks like these two have something in common!" Caroline exclaims which causes me to sink even further down into my chair.
