Edward Cullen, completely gorgeous of course, but he's also a player. Take now as an example, he's sitting at his usual lunch table with his brother, Emmett Cullen on one side, and his adopted sister Alice Brandon-Cullen on the other. He has two cheerleaders on his lap. One of them, Leah Clearwater, is flirting with Emmett, knowing perfectly well that he's dating Rosalie Hale. The other; is my ex-best friend Jessica Stanly…he has his tongue halfway down her throat… even though he just broke up with Lauren Mallory this morning. Alice, Leah, Lauren, Rosalie, and Jess are the main varsity cheerleaders, the ones that everyone knows. Emmett, Edward, Jasper, Seth, Mike, and Tyler are the main varsity football players. Mike used to hang out with my group of friends too. He and Jess moved on the first day of this year. Jasper Hale, brother of the all to gorgeous Rosalie, is dating Alice Cullen.
Alice is the only cheerleader that doesn't act like the world is hers. She also doesn't have her tongue in her boyfriends mouth all the time, which does everyone a favor. She smiles at everyone, popular or not and sometimes waves at me. I don't speak to any of them, unless its necessary.
I wouldn't say I'm an outcast, but I'm not popular either. My two best friends are Angela Webber and Erik Chow. We're the group that the popular make fun of most, they don't need to worry about their reputation being ruined since we're not total outcasts, but we're low enough for them.
Right now, I'm dreading next period. I sit next to Edward Cullen in Biology; I speak to him as less as possible, and never look at him. But it's still unbearable.
Right one cue the bell rang, signaling the end of seeing Erik and Angela until last period. I sighed as I threw away my half eaten lunch and hugged my friends.
"Good luck!" We all said to each other as we parted. Erik had his next class with Emmett, and Angela had her next class with Rosalie. I had mine with two popular people – Edward Cullen, and Mike.
And now, I saw Mike's outstretched foot. Placed right where it can reach out and trip me…to bad I saw it a second to late. I'm flying, face first towards the ground. I let go of my books and catch myself; I'm pro at this. I hide my face from the laughing class and start to pick up my books, still on the ground. I cannot find two of them, and I looked up to see a hand offered to help me. I look up higher to see it belongs to Edward Cullen. I get myself up and he smiles a crooked grin.
Breathtaking; I hide my face in my hair again, and sit in my chair.
"Nice trip, Bella. See you next fall!" Mike yelled, throwing the class into another burst of snickers.
"Not cool, Mike." A velvet voice said from beside me.
Mike was shocked, "Oh yeah. Um, totally. Sorry, Bella."
I ignored his lame attempt to get back on Edward's good side. And why was Edward on my side?
Edward passed me a note and I figured this would explain it.
You don't even thank me?
Thank you, Edward.
That's all?
Yes, that's all. What else do you expect?
I don't know, I did just humiliate Mike for you.
I didn't ask you to.
Your red face seemed to be.
You must've read it wrong.
Excuse me then…want to go out tonight?
I had to bite my tongue to hold in the laughter. You're asking me out; right after you had your tongue down my ex-best friend's throat?
Yeah, I guess I am.
Wow, you're just as much as a jerk as I thought.
What are you talking about?
Think about it, Edward. You kiss one girl for two days, and when you get bored of her, you go on to the next. I'm not falling into your stupid trap, Edward. No, I will not go out tonight.
The bell rang; I gathered my books and left Edward staring at the piece of paper that held the first rejection of his perfect life.

Crap.
This bet was going to be harder to win then I thought….
