I looked at Angela, thinking.

"Well?"

"I guess it's fine."

Angela smiled, she really seemed to like Bret. I shook my head, thinking. I was relieved that Alice was fine with me being different. But, the fact that she had walked away from Jessica meant a lot.

"I'll tell Bret. She thinks you're shy. I told her that you're not great around new people. But, she said you seem to get along with Alice pretty well."

I blushed, thinking about that. I was getting to know her slowly. I could relax around her more now. Even though people will tease her for being friends with me.

"Yeah, I can relax a little more now. Someone seems to like Bret?"

Angela looked away, and I laughed. It was obvious that she liked her.

"Maybe ........................... Fine! I like her!"

I couldn't stop laughing. Honestly, I liked Alice, but I didn't want to do anything about it. Being friends with me was one thing, but ......................... Would she want to be with someone like me?

"I knew it! Get to know her, you never know what could happen."

"I could say the same thing about you."

"I'm different, Angela. She's my friend, but I don't know if she would date someone like me..........."

"Bella."

I looked at Angela, and she looked annoyed. I was just being honest. I didn't think that she would want to be with someone like me.

"Get to know her a little better and if you still feel the same by Halloween. Tell her."

But ................. That was two weeks away!

"Angela, I need more time than that. I avoid getting into relationships, because of what happened. I can't do it."

"Just think about how you feel and if you feel the same in a few week, tell her. I think she would be fine with it. She walked away from Jessica, Bella. She cares about you. The question is: How much do you care about her?"

She was right, but I needed to think about it. I couldn't rush into something like this. What happened with Jessica really affected me.

"I need to think about this, Angela. I can't just admit that I like her. It's different for me. I can't just admit to liking someone, you don't have to worry about what people will say when you tell them just how different you are."

"I know that Bella. All I'm saying is that you need to consider the fact that you actually like her. I know it's harder for you, but you need to consider the fact that she could be fine with it."

I knew she was right, but Halloween seemed like an unrealistic target. I needed to think about things. I told her I would, and she left. I spend the day thinking about her. I'd noticed a few things that I thought were a little odd about her.

1. She never ate

2. She was always cold.

3. She moved a little to quick sometimes.

4. She seemed a little ...................... I don't know. I mean, she says she's 18, but .................. I don't know. There was something about her, that I couldn't put my finger on about her.

There was something about her, and I wanted to figure it out. But, first I needed to think about this first.

I spent the weekend thinking about it, and decided that I really did like her. But, I didn't want to say anything until I figured her out, and got to know her better.

Little did I know I'd have to tell her sooner than I thought.
