I was gratified by the way she blanched at his obvious intent.
“Will you ask me to the spring dance?” he asked, no thought of defeat in his head.
“I’m not going to be in town, Tyler,” she told him, irritation still plain in hervoice.
“Yeah, Mike said that.”<a href="http://www.1buycart.com">android 2.3 tablet 10</a>
“Then why—?” she stared to ask.
He shrugged. “I was hoping you were just letting him down easy.”
Her eyes flashed, then cooled. “Sorry, Tyler,” she said, not sounding sorry at all.
“I really am going to be out of town.”
He accepted that excuse, his self-assurance untouched. “That’s cool. We stillhave prom.”
He strutted back to his car.
I was right to have waited for this.
The horrified expression on her face was priceless. It told me what I should notso desperately need to know—that she had no feelings for any of these human males whowished to court her.
Also, her expression was possibly the funniest thing I’d ever seen.
My family arrived then, confused by the fact that I was, for a change, rockingwith laughter rather than scowling murderously at everything in sight.
What’s so funny? Emmett wanted to know.
I just shook my head while I also shook with fresh laughter as Bella revved hernoisy engine angrily. She looked like she was wishing for a tank again.
“Let’s go!” Rosalie hissed impatiently. “Stop being an idiot. If you can.”
Her words didn’t annoy me—I was too entertained. But I did as she asked.
No one spoke to me on the way home. I continued to chuckle every now andagain, thinking of Bella’s face.
