Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Twilight or Stephenie's characters, which is no fun.
A story, chock-full of random-y goodness. Though some chapters are just scenes through another character's eyes, some of them are just totally random ones. You'll get proof of that soon enough! Nevermore.

Bella's PoV

That first Valentine's Day

Edward still refused to look at me. In fact, every single one of his siblings, save for Alice, did the same. She constantly threw short glances my way, her pixie-like face almost hopeful. But she never looked at me for more than an instant. I tried to catch her gaze, but she wouldn't look directly at me. But a tiny smirk seemed to rest on her beautiful face. She seemed smug for some reason that I just couldn't comprehend. Why was she so smug?!

I'd begun to block out time. Date meant nothing. It was just like it was in Phoenix, this total oblivion. When the bell rang, Mike, Angela, and I made our way to Biology. Mr. Banner hadn't arrived, so Mike leaned on my desk, chattering animatedly. We both pointedly ignored Edward when he came in and sat down, and he ignored us, too. But I wanted to get him to talk, to hear that lovely voice again.

Mike took advantage of my thoughtful moment and startled me, producing a small, pink box. I eyed it with disappointment on my face. What would it take to deter this boy's interest?!

"Happy Valentine's Day, Bella." He flashed me a joyful smile. I grimaced. Not only had I been unaware that today was Valentine's Day, but I had also been unaware that it was even February. How disorienting.

"It's Valentine's already?" I muttered, taken totally off guard. Mike's smile faltered, but didn't totally fall.

"Of course. I wouldn't just give everyone candy because it was a Monday or whatever. It's a holiday — a special occasion." Again, that smile. I felt so guilty. Though I'd tried to push his interest in other directions, like to his left at the lunch table where Jess sat, he was still here, faithful and deluded as ever.

"You gave everyone candy?" I asked. He nodded.

"Yep. But only you get these." He lifted the lid off of the box, revealing six little chocolate candies. They were kind of pretty, and what kind of normal teenage girl would I have been to turn down chocolate, but I frowned at his delight.

"Mike," I began, "I can't take these. Jess will be jealous."

"Why?" Wow, the boy was oblivious. I shook that off. He offered the candies, making sure they hovered right within easy reach.

"C'mon," he invited. I sighed. I thought I was stubborn.

"Oh, come on," I protested. "Why single me out? I don't deserve chocolate! Jess does. You know what I deserve? A Jolly Rancher or something," I muttered, my voice almost on the edge of a snarl. Mike wasn't just deluded and oblivous; he was also incredibly annoying.

He sighed. "Bella, I went all the way to Port Angeles to get these from that See's place. Besides, I already gave Jess hers. She had chocolates, too, you know. Just like Angela and Lauren."

"But didn't you say —" He cut me off.

"You're the only one to get the ones with raspberries in the middle." Yum, raspberries. Though I wanted the chocolates now, I didn't want them from Mike. I was afraid he'd think I was leading him on or something.

He waved them beneath my nose. With a defeated sigh, I snatched the box from his hand and thrust the lid on top, fastening the white ribbon that held it in place. I threw it in my bag and made a face at Mike's back as he went to his desk, just as Mr. Banner entered the room. I snuck a glance at Edward, who looked as if he was suppressing laughter.
