Everly Sky heart 
"Cool" I hear Jake say calmly as he walks away. When he's out of sight I hear him yell yes and I could just imagine him throwing his arms up like one of the 80 movies. 
"See that wasn't so hard now was it" I ask, she rolls her eyes and starts to eat her ice cream. 
I dig into my ice cream and chew on the gummy bears. I love gummy bears and oj. I would risk my life just to have some oj. 
As we sat up our ice cream, the door bell rings, signaling that someone has walked in. I keep eating my ice cream not bothered by whoever just came in since it is a ice cream shop and people come in all the time. 
A little girl comes running past us and sits in the booth behind Bella. She has a shoulder length brown wavy hair. Like mine but shorter. 
She has brown eyes and looks to be about 7 to 8 years old. She reminds me of Bella when she was little, before she turned into a trouble maker. 
Bella can be a bad influence but she is the only person who can truly make me smile. 
I finish my ice cream and look up at bella to see she's looking at me. "What?" I ask with a nervous chuckle, "nothing, it's just I'm so glad I have you as my best friend" my heart flutters from those words that came out of her mouth. 
"Me too" I respond with, "so you ready to go?" She asks, I nod my head and get up and stretch, I always have to stretch after sitting down for a little to long. 
I feel my arm hit something and look behind me to see I had hit the new kid. My eyes widen from shock and surprise, "oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" I ask.  
"I'm fine, next time watch where you swing your arms" he says and then he just walks off, I watch as he walks over to the table where the little girl is sitting. He gives her, her ice cream and shoves it into her mouth. 
I smile at how cute she looks right now and then I see the new kid looking at me. 
I quickly look away from him, I feel a arm go over my shoulder and notice that it's jakes arm. "Hey pumpkin, so has bella talked about me recently?" He raises one of your eyebrows from Curiosity. "Nope, but I do know she likes you" I see Bella walk towards us and Jake's face lights up with excitement. 
I love them so much, if only they just dated already, but they are going out on Friday so that's a start. 
"Ready to go?" Bella says, completely ignoring Jake that's right beside me. "Yep but Jake has something to ask" I nudge his shoulder for his to speak. He looks at me and I give a 'say it' look. 
He nods and takes in a big breath. "Bella, will you go out with me? Like not just a date but like be my girlfriend?" He starts to ramble. 
Bella smiles at him and then nods her head yes, "yes I'll be your girlfriend dummy" Jake throws his hands up like a child. 
"Jake get back to work" Larry, the owner yells from the back. "Coming" Jake yells back before giving us one last glance and then gets back to work. 
I let out a giggle and so does Bella, "alright, bye Jake" Bella says as she grabs my hand and pulls me out of Larry's. 
"My best friend has a boyfriend, my beat friend has a boyfriend" I jump up in the air while skipping all the way to the car. 
"Oh shut up" I laugh at her being all shy. We hop into the car and she starts it up. As she drives off I notice the new kid looking at me through the window. 
He stares at me and this time I don't look away, well till I can't see him anymore. 
He's strange, there's something about him that freaks me out. I can tell he's dangerous. 
"So, I saw that new guy looking at you at Larry's, care to tell me what that was about?" I look over at Bella to see she's looking at the road, "nothing, we just glanced at each other that's all." I shrug my shoulders. 
I know she doesn't believe me since she has her thinking face on. It really is the truth though, I don't know him enough to even want to talk to him or even about him. Plus he scares me. 
I haven't gotten close enough to tell what his features are but he has black wavy hair with green eyes, he's about 6'2 or so and has a muscular body. 
He's not so bad looking either. "So I heard that he got transferred here because he beat a guy to death and served for a whole year." I swear I turned my head so fast toward Bella that I thought it would have snapped off. 
"What?" I need to make sure I heard her correctly. "Yeah, I heard the teachers talking about it before we left school, he like beat some guy to death for no reason and served." I face forward, why would he do that? 
He couldn't have just done that for no reason, there must have been a big reason if he beat him to death. 
"He's bad news Eve, stay away from him. He's bad news." I roll my eyes at her being a mama bear again. 
"I will" 
"I mean it Everly, I see the way he looks at you. It's like your his prey or something. It's freaky." She explains. 
"He probably looks at every girl like that, it's not a big deal." I cross my arms over my chest and slouch in the passengers seat. 
Bella doesn't say anything else and just keeps driving. She acts like she hasn't gotten involved in some bad guys, like her ex boyfriend. He was in a gang and put a knife to her throat once. 
She instantly ended the relationship after that. He stalked her and begged for her to come back to him but she didn't give in this time. I'm proud of her for that, since she was really in love with him. 
That was only 2 years ago. He doesn't bother her anymore. I haven't even seen him in town recently. 
Bella pulls up into her drive way and I exit the car taking a big stretch with my arms. 
Bella puts her arm over my shoulder and we head into her house, "dad I'm home, Everly's with me." She yells, as her dad pops out from the hallway corner. 
"Everly I'm making pasta for dinner tonight so don't stock up on junk food with Bella again. I don't want you throwing up again." He points at me giving me a stern look. 
"I won't" I yell back as me and Bella make our way up stairs.
