Hello, again! Okay, I do realise I haven't actually finished a story yet, but there's been no INSPIRATION lately.
I'd like to see YOU write a story without inspiration. Well, I thought of this one during German today, and it's been bugging me ever since, so I needed to type it down... Oh, by the way, everyone in this story is human and Edward, Jasper, Bella, Alice, Rosalie and Emmett are all 17.

R&R please.

Bella POV - Chapter 1 - Confused

ARGH!! I was so confused!

On one hand, there was Edward... Lovely, caring... and definitely overprotective.
But on the other, was Jasper... Sweet, charming... but emotionally withdrawn.

Both admitted they would go out with me in a game of Truths, but neither had actually asked me out yet...

We had been friends since I had tripped over Lauren-the-Cow in lunch in First Year (aged 12). Edward had shouted at the bitch, while Jasper helped me up.

Don't get me wrong, I have other friends too... There's Alice... and Rosalie... and Rosalie's boyfriend, Emmett... oh, and Angela.

Alice and Edward were twins, although you didn't often realise it apart from the obvious pale skin, forest eyes, facial structure, and slim figure... Okay, they both had a lot in common. It was often as if Edward could read her mind and she could see what was going to happen to him in the future. Freaky, really. Well, Alice was short, had spiky dark hair and a Fashion-Fetish. Edward, on the other hand was tall, had straightened-but-messy bronze hair and a skill for the piano. Edward was the kind of guy to walk around in Vans, skinnys and a band tee.

Rosalie was much like her twin, Jasper. They were both tall, blonde, slim and had deep, ocean blue eyes. Rosalie may have appeared to be your average teen girl, concerned only about her looks and gossipping, but underneath the porcelain skin was a mind working furiously to work out new ways to make her shiny red convertable faster. Yes, Rosalie was a car EXPERT! Jasper, however, was a lot shyer, having just come back from a 3-month holiday in Houston, thanks to his Southern roots he was so proud of. He barely used his voice, coming across as the secretive, sensitive type. Only the history teachers and his close friends knew he was harbouring a passion for the American Civil War. Darn, if you even MENTIONED Abraham Lincoln, he'd begin ranting about his beliefs.

Rosalie's boyfriend, Emmett, was, to sum it up, big. He had curly dark hair and laughing dark eyes to match. He was a two year old at heart and a severe bodybuilder. He was taller than Rosalie, and even taller than Jasper! He was also a so called "Champion" when it came to video games and "seldom" lost. Seldom being the operative term here. More like frequently lost.

Now, Angela. She was just an average shy girl, blushing tomato when the teachers even looked at her, let alone asked her a question!

I decided I would try Edward first, I thought as I walked out of English with Angela. She was just drifting beside me, head down and blonde hair covering her face. She was clutching her copy of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as if her life depended on it.

We walked across campus to lunch, when a moaning noise cut me off from my thoughts. Angela's face went strawberry coloured again and I'm sure mine matched perfectly. We looked at each other, embarrased. We both knew what those particular sounds meant two people were doing behind us.

"Mmmm..." A guy's voice went.

"You're...really...good...at...this...Darren..." ANOTHER guy's voice went.

Wait, two guys? I recognised one of those voices too! Nervously, I turned around, praying it wasn't Emmett or Rosalie would be heartbroken.

I let out a gasp as I saw the two guys pressed up against the tree. The guy 'Darren' was on the outside, hands all over the other guy's body, running up and down his sides while the the other guy held him securely around the midriff. I still couldn't quite place him until I saw Darren's hands make it to the other guy's hair. My eyes widened as I recognised my friend and fled into the building containing the cafeteria. Angela chased rapidly after me, struggling to hold back tears. Only I knew of her little crush on Darren Smith (sorry but the only non-main characters I'm keeping are Lauren, Mike and Angela).

(Note I am keeping from you who she saw pressed up against the tree)

Darren POV

Dammit, she ran. Why could I never get the chance to talk to Angela...? It was all my stupid sister's fault, telling me it was sexy when two emo boys kiss... She looked meaningfully at my favourite outfit, skinnys, converse and a Red Jumpsuit Apparatus t-shirt as she said it too. She then said the name of someone and who he had a crush on too. Damn sisters... Damn Edward... Now Angela would think I was gay...

Edward POV

Fu- NO EDWARD DO NOT SWEAR! I thought. Oh, fiddlesticks was what I settled for instead. Bella ran away. Stupid Darren and his little sister... Now, my life's love would believe I liked guys. Yeah right, emo boys kissing is hot... as if!

(Note: actually, IMO, two emo guys kissing IS hott)

Bella POV

I leaned against the walls, breathing hard and not because of the running. I needed to calm myself... Prepare myself for what was yet to come. I needed to tell the gang about Edward's sexuality AND ask Jasper out, not necessarily in that order. I still couldn't get my head around the fact Edward, who I thought I knew for the past five years, was actually gay.

Angela panted, hyperventelating and leaning against the wall beside me. Poor Angela, her love was stuck in this mess too...

I took one last deep breath as I steeled myself to walk through those double doors. I couldn't put it off any longer, so I slammed them open and strode over to the queue, grabboing only an apple and a water. What I had just seen spoilt my appitite.

I took another breath and let it out, slinking over to our table and plonking myself down in my place.

I turned to my right, so I could face Jasper, who was gulping down potato soup like there was no tomorrow. I waited patiently for him to finish, when I asked, "Jazz...? Will you go out with me?"

The entire table then went silent at what happened next. Jasper twisted to face me, scooped me into his embrace and kissed me, full on, on the lips. All I can say was that I finally knew the meaning of life as fireworks went off around us. (metaphorically, of course)

He finally broke away, and whispered, "I thought you'd never ask."

As I smiled, something pressing broke through my bubble of happiness. Edward's secret.

"Oh, by the way... Edward's gay," I blurted out. "I saw him and Darren making out."

Alice and Emmett, who had both been drinking their milk, spat it out all over a disgusted Edward, who, conveniently, right at that moment, chose to join us.

"Eurgh! Just my luck to turn up right as Alice and Emmett begin a spitting match," he exclaimed, sitting down with his roll and tomato soup. Everyone's eyes were trained on him as he proceeded to spoon a mouthful up. He paused, looking up, "What? Why are you all staring at me? Have I got something in my hair?"

He then checked over his extremely messed up hair with delicate hands, which only added more question to his sexuality. Rosalie and Jasper realised this, in turn, and spat out their water all over the table, luckily not hitting Alice's 100 bag that was resting on the table.

"Oh, god..."muttered Emmett, and quickly covered up his mistake with, "Rosalie, stop it, you're driving me crazy here, let's go, sexy."

So, Emmett made his escape with Rosalie in tow, leaving Alice, Jasper, Me and a very stunned and confused Edward to finish lunch.

So, what did you think? I must say, I'm rather pleased with my story so far. So, shall I say 5 reviews? I promise I'll keep up my 1,000 words minimum shenanigen...

GO GERMAN!! THANK GOD FOR MRS THOMAS TELLING US TO DO WHATEVER THE HELL WE WANTED!! AND THANK GOD FOR EMO GUYS KISSING FOR INSPIRATION!!
