Chapter 3 Curse My Heart, Mind, and Hormones!

Bella introduced Filene to Mike Newton when they met up in the hallway.

Filene thought that was hilarious, before wondering if his dads name was Isaac. He took them to Biology. Mike was a little surprised that a freshman like Filene was that smart, that is, until she showed him this semester and next semester tables.

“Mr. Molina.” Mike greeted the teacher inside the classroom.

Filene looked about the pace and was surprised at all the birds about the place.

“Hey, Mike.” The teacher returned, looking up to him.

Mike pointed to the Swans for Mr. Molina, before waving good bye and heading for his seat.

Bella went to the teacher and as she went to him, she spotted Edward as Filene did, and gave a meek smile. At that moment the fan behind Bella swerved in her direction, and blew her hair in a way that made Filene think about the slow motion scene when a dude sees an attractive woman, Filene almost laughed at that image.

Then she looked over to Edward and looked at him weirdly. He went rigid in his seat for a moment he looked like he was going to hurl, and then he closed his hand over his mouth.

Filene blinked a few before sitting behind them with a girl with glasses on, and dyed blue hair. Filene became good acquaintances with her lab partner in ten seconds.

“All right, guys, today we are gonna be observing the behaviour of planar, aka flatworms.” Mr. Molina began the lesson.

Through the whole class, Filene had watched as Bella smelled her hair, which was an insult for her because she brushed and style it for her. Then watched as Edward glared at her sister so hard that even she was becoming uncomfortable, apparently Edward knew when the bell was going to ring, because he shot off his seat a second before the bell rang.

As he left, Filene could tell her sister was not going to let this go. She sighed as she followed the now pissed Bella.

After school, Filene waited at the truck and waited for Bella to come. She watched in curiosity as the Cullens ‘descended’ into the parking lot, she rolled her eyes at how graceful they walked, and almost laughed at the image of Emmett taking ballet.

Edward looked to Filene as he got to his Volvo, his eyebrow lifted at her, she returned with some annoyance.

‘What? Never saw a girl with boobs that wasn’t attracted to you before?’ she thought, and hoped it said so in her expression.

It must have, because he appeared to be laughing as he went in. Jasper was the last one to go in, but he looked to her once more with a friendly grin before following. As the Cullen Cars left, Bella came barging –hardly- through the school and towards her and the truck.

“What happened?” Filene asked as her sister unlocked her door.

“I don’t want to talk about it.” She answered quickly.

Filene shrugged. “Okay.”

A second later. “What was that dude’s problem?!”

Filene blinked in confusion and surprise before looking thoughtful.

“Well, I think he was a sore loser in elementary school and so now he is trying with all of his power to win a popular girl, which is sadly you and thankfully not me.” Filene explained, and was making a point.

Bella rolled her eyes, getting the point. “I meant Edward Cullen, Filly, not Eric.”

Filene faked surprise. “Really? So was I.”

Bella gave Filene a look.

Filene only smiled. “Okay, Okay I'll be serious. So one guy doesn’t like you, who cares? It’s not the end of the world.”

“But Filene, he looked as if he was going to puke when I came in, and he has black eyes-“

“Why the hell are you looking into his eyes? And another thing, Black, like Supernatural demon black or just a really dark... hold on, so did Jasper and Emmett!” Filene exclaimed.

“And why are you looking into their eyes?” Bella asked in turn with annoyance in her voice.

“Because it was either their eyes or their ass.” Filene answered making Bella raise an eyebrow. “Which are very fine I would like to point out, but that is beside the point, Emmett and Jasper’s eyes are black too and I don’t mean the Supernatural kind but like a cat’s eye that dilates their pupils bigger.”

Bella nodded and watching the road intensely, this worried Filene. 

“You’re not getting obsessed over this, are you?” she asked giving her sister a supicious look.

“Of course not.” Bella laughed, it was the same tone she used when she said she wasn’t going to waste her time on him, which she was doing. “Are you?”

“No!” Filene said laughing. “I’d rather date a werewolf.”

Filene looked out the window, and sighed.'She is going to obsess over this.'

“What’s wrong?” Bella asked.

“Too many trees.” Filene replied.

Bella snorted. “You’re telling me.”

They reached the Cafe their dad had told them to meet at. Bella parked and went inside where they found their dad, drinking his coffee. Filene sat on his right while Bella sat on the left.

“Hey Dad.” Filene greeted, kissing his cheek.

Charlie was embarrassed and mumbled. “Hey.”

Bella picked up her menu. “Hey”

Filene huffed at this disaster of a greeting, but contented herself at looking at the menu as well. 

They got their orders quickly and were now waiting for it. Filene and Charlie talked about the latest CSI New York as Bella would put a comment or two in, then Filene talked about what happened to the truck that morning which got Bella to talk some more with Charlie. Filene watched this amused, she hoped this will never end.

That was when the waitress came with their food.

“I just can’t get over how grown up you are.” She told the Swan sisters, “And so gorgeous.”

“Yep!” Filene said with a smile. “Just like dad.”

Charlie smiled amused. “Don’t even start Filly, or I’ll take away your bike privilege.”

The lady giggled at Filene’s horrified look.

“I give a compliment and you threaten to take my baby away, Why?” she asked.

A man came from behind the waitress before Charlie could answer. “Hey girls. You remember me?”

Bella and Filene looked at each other, shook their head and looked to Charlie before looking back to the man.

“I played Santa one year.” He tried.

“Yeah, Waylon, they haven’t had a Christmas here since Bella was four and Filene was two.” Charlie told Waylon.

“I bet I made an impression, though, didn’t I?” he asked the two.

”You always do.” Charlie replied for them.

“Butt-crack Santa?” the waitress said to them.

The Swans snorted.

“Hey,” Waylon defended himself. “Kids love those little bottles, though.” 

“All right, let the girls eat their garden burger and cheese burger, Waylon.” She told him, pushing him away.

She leaned towards the sisters. “As soon as you’re done, I will bring you two your favourites.” 

“Chocolate fudge brownies, and a berry cobbler, remember?” she said, “Your dad still has it. Berry cobbler every Thursday, and the chocolate fudge brownie every Friday.”

“Thank you. That’d be great.” Bella said smiling.

Filene nodded and she chewed down on her cheese burger. Charlie was cutting his stake and was about to reach for the ketchup when Bella did the same.

“Here.” Charlie said giving it to Bella.

“Thanks.” Bella whispered.

Filene had finished her cheese burger and was now on the fries, Charlie blinked.

“Now I know you got that from me.” He told her.

Bella laughed at Filene’s confused face.

After their food, they headed off home; Filene was already fast asleep in Bella’s truck when they got home. Charlie picked her up bridle style and followed Bella into their room.

Bella let Filene sleep on her bed as she worked on her homework, and then decided to call Renee. She woke up Filene and put her cell phone on speaker.

“Hey mom.” they both said in unison.

“Hey, honeys. So, listen, if spring training goes well, we could be moving to Florida.-”

AN automated voice came from the phone. “Please insert $1.25 for an additional three minutes.”

“Mom, where’s your cell?” Filene asked, smothering a laugh.

“Okay, don’t laugh. I didn’t lose my power cord. It ran away!” Their mom lied.

Bella and Filene laughed anyway.

“Screaming, I literally rebel technology now.” She told the two.

“We miss you.” Bella said.

“Oh, I miss you, too.” Renee cooed into the phone, “But tell me more about your school. Now, what are the kids like? Are there any cute guys? Are they being nice to you two?”

Filene didn’t know which one to answer first, but it seems Bella got it, she sighed softly.

“Well, they’re all very welcoming.” Bella said in a tone that even Filene and Renee could hear.

“Uh oh, tell me all about it.” Renee said gently.

“It doesn’t even matter.” Bella tried to excuse.

“Yes, it does honey-” Renee returned.

“We’ve got homework to do. I’ll talk to you later.” Bella interrupted her.

There was a silence before Renee talked again.

“Okay, I love you two.” She said.

“Love you, too” Bella replied before hanging up.

Bella had a thoughtful look, as if remembering something; Filene had already fell asleep with her head on Bella lap. Bella got off gently and got dressed for bed. As soon as she lay down, Filene crawled closer to her sister for warmth. 

The next day, Filene stayed in the truck as her sister waited for the Cullens –Edward- To confront him and to find out what his problem was. 

Filene just knew all this will not end well.

“So much for not obsessing over Edward.” She murmured.

Bella ignored her as the Cullens came up on a jeep, with Emmett on top of it, or something like that, but no Eddie.

Emmett and Jasper nodded their heads at either Bella or Filene, they never knew. Bella and her sister looked at each other in confusion.

Then out of no where, a liquorice stick smacked Filene’s head and Bella’s back. The two looked back to see Tyler, Filene guessed that he was inviting them to come over. Filene shook her head, along with Bella who showed that she was ‘Reading’ a book.

The next few days, Edward never showed, much to Filenes relief and Bella’s annoyance.

Things were hectic with Filene’s days as well.

Jasper and her watch each other suspiciously through the whole class, it’s funny that the teacher hadn’t noticed. Emmett has been walking her to her classes, trying to be sneaky about it but failing, Rebecca hasn’t been trying to attack, yet. Even the chick Rosalie was watching Filene for a bit.

Things were getting weird, but they’re gonna be a whole lot more weird.

One day, on a Thursday, Filene was heading for the cafeteria when she saw that Rebecca was leaning against the wall with three more girls, looking straight at her.

‘Crap.’ Filene thought as she swerved to the left and began to walk faster to anywhere.

She heard more foot steps following her, and when she turned her head to see, it was Rebecca and her gang. 

Filene kicked in high gear, doing her death walk and she turned a corner.

Just as she did, something or someone grabbed the back of her jacket and lifted her up, and up. Filene squealed quietly as she was brought up on the fire escape ladder, when she looked behind her to see who did it, she was quite shocked at who it was.

Emmett Cullen , his face was close to her face as he looked behind her to check something before grabbing her wrist and turned so he could put her on his back and started climbing the ladder.

“Hold on Koala bear.” he told her, as he climb.

‘Do I have a choice?’ Filene thought in annoyance as she practically flew up the fire escape, clinging to his shoulder in surprise.

Filene didn’t know whether she was shocked at more, that Emmet’s skin was as cold as ice, his was strong enough to pick her up by her jacket, or going top speed up the ladder like Spiderman.

As they got up to the roof, Emmett, who had seem to have forgot about her, looked down the building to see Rebecca and her girls looking about for Filene. When it seems like they have given up, Rebecca scowled before heading back to the cafeteria. 

Emmett grinned arrogantly.

Of course Filene wasn’t seeing this, for she was still trying to find a way get down from Emmett without hurting herself. 

She couldn’t, she sighed, and just held onto his shoulders, and her legs around his waist.

“Umm, not that I’m not grateful for your rescue, but I’d like to get down from you, please?” she asked.

Emmett turned his head and looked at her in surprise. “Oh! Sure.”

He crouched down a little and let her down.

“Thanks.” she said.

Her curiosity was driving her nuts, she looked down the building and was surprised at how far down it was.

She looked to him. “How did you get us up here so fast?”

He shrugged leaning against the rail beside her looking at her. “In case you haven’t notice, I’m pretty fit to go do anything fast.”

‘Pretty fit, isn’t the word I’d choose.’ she thought looking at his ripped arms and began to wonder his he had eight or six abs. 

She smacked her hormones down.

“That still doesn’t answer my question, physically, you can’t get up here in exactly…” she calculated in her head “twenty seconds without either pulling a muscle or something…. Are you on steroids?”

He blinked before leaning his head back and laugh.

Filene couldn’t help the smile that appeared at the sight of Emmett laughing.

Once he quieted down he went a little closer to her.

“No Filene, I’m not, I just workout as much as I can.” he told her.

She raised an eyebrow. “What do you do for a workout? Wrestle with bears?”

He tensed up for a second before grinning. 

“Something like that.” he answered.

Filene watched him for a moment, just as he was, she couldn’t help notice that his eyes were golden, like tigers. It looked unnatural on him, but it only intensified his person. She shook her head mentally, she will think about those later.

“Now, is there a reason why you’ve been walking me to classes, Alice waving hello to me like a long lost sister, Jasper staring at me, and Rosalie lurking around every corner?” she asked.

Emmett’s grin twitched. “You saw that huh?”

Filene crossed her arms and nodded.

“It’s not very hard to see a bouncer such as yourself, following me around.” she said.

He walked away from the rail, and started walking, she followed around in a circle, making sure her back wasn’t facing him. Filene was now between Emmett and the rail, which didn’t comfort her mind and heart.

Emmett walked closer to her, his lips played a playful grin as well as his eyes as his face came nose to nose with her.

“You interest us, you had threaten us, with no fear. We have never been threaten by little girls like you.” he said.

“I’m not little! I’m two inches taller then Bella, and I’m not a child!” she defended herself.

“No, you’re not a child,” he got a little closer. “Not even close.”

Her heart was pounding in her ears, she tried to slow down her heart, but it only quickened. 

He smiled in amusement. 

‘Oh snap, can he like hear my heart?.’ she thought. '...Did i really just say 'like' ugh, I need some beef jerky and tamato drink when i get home.'

She cleared her throat.

“I, I better go, Bella might be wondering where I am.” she excuse herself and was ready to move away when he put his arms on each side of her, caging her.

His tiger eyes search hers with such curiosity, Filene felt weird. Then she remembered about Edward’s attitude with Bella.

“Hey what’s up with your brother looking like he was gonna hurl when he saw Bella?” she asked, putting her hands on her hips. “He has been very rude to her and I wanna know what’s his problem?”

Emmett grinned. “Edward has a weird way of showing that he likes girls, I mean don’t all boys act rude or strange to the girl he likes?”

Filene raised an eyebrow. “I don’t know Emmett you tell me, I am not a boy.”

Emmett chuckled. “Well I wouldn’t really know, after all, I am a man, not a little boy.”

“You maybe man physically but you are still a teenager Emmett.” Filene said.

Emmett looked up from where he was looking to Filene and stood up a little before walking slowly closer to Filene.

“Filene.” his voice purred her name once he was close enough to her face.

Now her heart practically jumping out of her chest and her hormones were cheering him on.

'Go Emmett, go Emmett, it’s your birthday!' Her little babies in waiting cheered.

‘Shut up!‘ she told them.

“You are one hell of a girl.” he said. “I’ll be jealous of the one who takes you away.”

And with that he kissed her.

Filene pulled away quickly looking up at him with eyes widened. 

His eyes shined brightly as he grinned. “Well, at least I got your first kiss.”

With that he ran towards the ladder and disappeared down it. 

Her mind was blank, and her hormones, heart, and brains were debating. 

Brain: Don’t even think about it, there is something wrong with that dude.

Heart: *Has been melted and will not talk*

Hormones: There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that man.

Filene: I’m fifteen years old, what could I possibly do with someone like him, and he has a girlfriend, I will not be the other girl! AND HE TOOK MY FIRST KISS!

Hormones: Jessica was unsure if that so you can ask Rosalie when you see her next time.

Head/Filene: ROSALIE!

Heart: *Revived* are you nuts! If she asked her that, she would tear me out of her body!

Head: Yeah and why even ask when you’re not going to ask him out.

Hormones/Filene: She’s/I’m not?

Head: *Nods* yes you are not doing that. And besides, think about your heart when he leaves you if you get too attached to him.

Heart: Oh dear, I afraid head is right, I’m not strong enough to take on that kind of relationship. What about Jacob?

Hormones: OMG! Tall dark and Handsome!

Filene: yeah and he likes Bella.

Head: How do you know that.

Filene: did we not see heart make a disappoint heart beat when we saw that Jacob had only eyes for Bella, I will not be seconds.

The meeting was adjourned.

Filene sighed as she headed over the ladder, she was half way down when the fire escape decided to extent it self longer, Filene screamed as it fell down. It stopped as she landed on her feet. She blinked a few times before letting go of the ladder and made her way to Bella, she never wants to do that again.

Three days later, it was snowing. Well it had snowed, now it’s just slush and rain, Bella was out first before Filene whom followed behind. 

Bella headed towards the truck when she fell down, grunting. Charlie and Filene walked steady on the ice spots towards her. 

“You all right?” Charlie asked her.

“Yeah, I’m good.” Bella said chuckling a little as she got up. “Ice doesn’t really help the uncoordinated.”

“Yeah.” Charlie agreed. “Thats why I had some new tires put on the truck. The old ones were getting pretty bald.”

“That’s good to know.” Filene said as she put her back pack into the truck.

She got in and started the car For Bella as she talked to Charlie for a bit. A few minutes later, the girls were on there way to another school day.

So what will it be? The voteing or the Commenting
