New Moon by Stephenie Meyer p. 181-224

Since my last blog I have read chapters eight and nine of New Moon. In chapter eight, Bella goes on her motorcycle for the first time, and as you can probably guess, it didn't end up well. Jacob didn't teach Bella how to brake, so she fell over and cut her head. Bella ended up having to go to the hospital, but she didn't want Charlie to know, so they had to make up a story to cover up their tracks, which Charlie of course bought. But the weird thing is that when Bella was riding the motorcycle, she heard Edwards voice telling her to stop it. This just made Bella want to ride more, so she could hear his voice, so of course the next day she got right back on her motorcycle. In chapter ten, Bella feels bad for letting Mike down when he asked her to a movie last weekend and she turned him down. So she decided to get all of their friends together to see a movie, to kind of make up for it, Bella also invited Jacob along. But it turned out that everyone had plans, except for Mike and Jacob and two others. But at the last minute the other two got sick with the flu and couldn't come. Mike and Jake do not get along that well, and the night ended horribly. Mike ended up getting sick, and threw up in the bathroom. They immediately drove him home, but then Jake started feeling sick, so he left soon too. But Bella made him promise that he would call when he got home, because he was driving himself.
