Chapter 1

Dream Again

Bella POV

"No, I don't like you! Ugh!" I said with faked disgust. I hope he didn't see through my lie. I was horrible at lying most times.

"No," Mike joked smirking at me, "You love me." God, could he see right through me?!

I paused in blank surprise, and his smile became wider and wider.

"No... sometimes I feel like I hate you."I lied, ripping me apart inside.

"Oh! Well than maybe I shouldn't go to your party."he jabbered.

It was my turn to be surprised. "Oh no! I didn't mean it that way, Mike, I-" I implored.

"Just kidding, Bella! Of course I'm still coming!"he laughed.

I glared at him. Of course I believed him but still! That was actually really mean!

"Okay, I'm sorry I did that. Now can you just get over it? It was just a joke!" he laughed again.

"Fine." I huffed. There was really no point in holding a grudge. It did no good.

"Hey, Bella. I really am sorry."Mike consoled.

"It's okay. Really Mike, you don't have to torture yourself." I mumbled.

"Yeah, okay,"Mike sighed, "Hey Bella?"

"Yeah?" I questioned.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go-"he stammered.

"Hey Bella! Mike. You guys done holding up the line?" Edward interrupted.

BEEP!BEEP! BEEP! 7:30 A. M.

I wearily pressed the off button as I sat up. Another year starting and I wake up to a dream that would have thrilled me last year. I had gotten over my crush on Mike by the half-year mark. Though it didn't seem like Mike did. Or seeming to warm up to me a bit to much. I got up and threw a brown tee with some jeans. After I brushed my teeth and yanked the brush through my hair a few times, I went downstairs and grabbed a nutrition bar. I didn't feel like breakfast this morning.

Tripping on my way out, I started up my truck and drove the 15 min. to school in my red Chevy truck. I loved my truck; it suited my so well.

I went over the dream, hoping it wouldn't be reality. I did not want to have a awkward moment with mike to have him ask me out.

I sighed as I pulled up beside my best friend's car. Alice. She was always ready for everything. She had a certain sense of what was going to happen most of the time. I stepped and got into her car seeing her bouncing up and down in anticipation. She smiled.

"Did you hear about the 2 new boys coming into town today?" she squealed. As always, she was hyped up with energy, typical Alice.

"Nope, who are they?" I sighed, I knew that I had just given her full permission to gush with all the info she's gotten.

"Well, apparently they're not supposed to be related but, one is coming in from Chicago. The other is coming from the Reservation. They are supposed to be really hot! And the one from Chicago …...." Alice blabbed on and on. I smiled. She was really easy to talk to when your not much of a talker. We were so different but were best friends since day one.

We talked until about 8:25, and rushed to our classes. I sat down in my solitary seat, and read my favorite book, Pride and Prejudice. Until a all too familiar pair of sneakers came into view, did I look up. There stood Mike, all smiles, and same as last year.

"Hey Bella! How was your summer?"Mike rejoyced.

"Uneventful, how was yours?" I said out of politeness.

"Gentlemen, please take yours seats. I would like to introduce Jacob Black. Now you can go sit by Bella. When I call your name, please come and pick up your copies of Wuthering Heights." Mr. Clute began his lesson.

The new boy, Jacob Black came and sat down by me.

"Hello, I'm Jake." he smiled and held out a hand. I shook it.

"Bella." I said.
