"Hey there Bella," Tyler said smoothly, "Want to sit by me during lunch?"
Bella fought back the urge to swear. She had just finished her History class and was looking forward to seeing Edward again. That is, until Tyler came along. She took a deep breath on the inside, and forced a friendly smile.
"No thanks, Tyler. I'm sitting with Edward...still," She said. This wasn't the first time he'd asked her. Tyler frowned.
"Well...who says that you can't see a change of face for awhile?"
"I said, "No thanks". I really would still like to sit with Edward."
"I'll give you five bucks."
"Are you actually bribing me?"
"Ten?"
"Tyler!"
"Okay, fine, twenty, but I'm running out of cash."
"Thank you, but I don't want to sit with you!" Tyler looked hurt. Bella sighed, a little appalled with herself. She didn't have to be that hard on him. "Look, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but Edward is my boyfriend and I want to sit with HIM."
"Alright, I guess I understand. Give me a kiss, and I won't tell anyone that you were rude to me."
"WHAT?" Bella shouted. Tyler staggered back a little in surprise. "I'M GONNA KICK YOUR-!"
"Bella!"
Bella whipped around to see Edward standing there. Thank the Lord! she thought with relief. She skipped over to his side. "Hi sweetie! Ready for lunch?"
"Um...sure." Edward answered uneasily, staring back at the terrified Tyler. "What was that about?"
"Oh nothing." Bella answered with a smug little grin.
She was pretty sure that Tyler wouldn't be asking her to lunch anytime soon.
