Damn. Was the class never going to end? Bella thought. This is exactly why I hated marching band, well band in general to be honest, but I loved it too damn much to quit. I enjoyed playing clarinet. Plus it was very physical, so I put up with it. It was long, never seemed to end, and it did dominate most of my time. I listened to the director yell at the drumline yet again. The drumline was never able to pay attention and were constantly getting yelled at. When there was no yelling, it actually freaked the rest of the band out. Today we were inside practicing some new music. We already had the show music memorized, but we had to learn some stands tunes since our first game was tonight.

"If I didn't need percussionists I would kick all of you out!" Mr. Smith screamed interrupting Bella's thoughts. "Masen! I said to quit practicing when I'm speaking to you!"

"Technically," Edward said arrogantly, "You're not speaking to me, you're yelling so doesn't that mean I can practice?" I knew I shouldn't have laughed but I couldn't help it. Edward being cocky was funny and turned me on. In fact, that's why we're fuck buddies. Unfortunately for me Mr. Smith heard me and started on me.

"Is there something funny Ms. Swan?" Mr. Smith asked angrily as he turned to face me. I just shook my head. Now was not the time to fight with him. He could actually be scary, and that was something I never wanted to encounter……again. Last time he really yelled at me, I started to cry.

"Good!" He said and went to the front of the band. "I don't think anyone really wants to practice today so I'm dismissing class early." And with that he stocked off to his office and slammed the door. Everyone left their chairs and started talking to all their friends, since there was still a good 30 minutes left of class. As I was putting my stuff away Alice appeared at my side.

"Did you really have to laugh Bella?" Alice asked like she was upset, but I knew she wasn't. She hated band practice just as much as I did. The only reason she picked it up was because she wanted to play the flute. It was "loud and sometimes annoying just like her," and I'm using her own quote there.

"I'm sorry dear sister. I didn't realize you actually wanted to learn music. Please forgive me." I said playing along with her little game.

"Well, I can think of something to make it up to me." She said with a smile. I knew that smile and I was happy to see it. That smile she had said it was party time, and since it was Friday, it worked out. Besides Mike was having yet another party.

"So is a party my punishment?" I asked like I was mad. But soon after asking I just started to laugh. I was still talking to Alice when I felt someone put their arms around me. I didn't have to turn around to know who it was. I already knew it was Edward. He was the only one who did that.

"So," He said, "I was thinking that we could "study" after school today?"

I turned around, smirked and said, "Well I guess I could squeeze you in before the party." Edward's eyes sparkled when I said this.

"I know you can squeeze me in." Edward said, "You always do." And with that he walked back over to his brother, Nick, and his friends. That was one thing that I loved about Edward, he caught my sexual innuendos. That's also why he was my best friend, next to Alice and Rose.

"I don't know why you two don't date already." Alice said after Edward walked away. "It's obvious that you guys want each other. And I'm not just talking about the sex."

"Whatever Alice." I replied, "He only wants sex, and I only want sex. Nothing more. That's why we both like our arrangement."

"Keeping telling yourself that twin." She said annoyingly. But before I could form a response Rose and her younger sister Megan walked up to us.

"I'd like to thank you Bella." Rose said, "Because of you, we got out of band early." And with that she hugged me. Rose had to suffer the most out of everyone when it came to the drumline getting yelled at. Since she was the color guard captain she had to teach the routine to the other girls, but they always had to be with the band, which leads me back to my point. When the drummers were being yelled at Rose couldn't teach the routine over the yelling and that pissed her off. Plus she was a senior and she was tired of all the drumline's crap.

"No problem my dear friend." I said with a chuckle. "It's the least I could do. Hey Megan. How are you doing?"

"Good." She replied with a wide smile that I hadn't seen on her for a long time.

"What's that smile for Miss Megan?" I asked curiously. Apparently she didn't realize how wide she was smiling.

"Oh, nothing. It's nothing." Megan replied quickly.

I didn't believe her, so I decided to trick her to tell me more. "Oh it has to be something. I had that smile when I first…….," I stopped there because I realized she didn't know about me and Edward being fuck buddies. "Met Edward. Oh wait. That's it. It has to do with a boy." Megan shook her head and was trying to convince me otherwise.

Rose decided she was going to speak for her though. "It is about a boy. His last name happens to be Masen, and his first name is Nick." "Rose!" Megan shouted as I laughed. "It's not your business to tell people." And with that she stormed off.

"What's all this talk about Nick?" Alice asked Rose.

"It seems, by dear friends, that our little Megan has herself a boyfriend." Rose said, "But she doesn't want to tell anyone. Only God knows why she wants to keep it a secret."

Alice and I just laughed. Only Megan would want something like this to be a secret. That's also what made her our "little" Megan. She was somewhat like a child, so we took it upon ourselves to protect her.

"Well that's nice that they're FINALLY going out. They've liked each other for ages." I said. "Ok so off the Megan topic. Rose, would you like to go to a party with me and Alice tonight?"

"You even have to ask?" Rose said, "It is me we're talking about. Plus I feel like I need sex tonight. I need to release this tension somehow." Now let me explain something about my friends and I. Rose, well, she isn't exactly a whore per say. She just feels that if she needs some, she should be able to get it with no strings attached. Her definition of a whore is a girl who leads a guy on and doesn't clear up the emotions. And Rose doesn't do that. She is very straight forward. Alice on the other hand is waiting for Mr. Right. Can't say that I blame her. Guys at Forks High aren't good looking. The exception is Edward, but I've been there, done that, and I'm going to be doing that again this afternoon.

"Silly me." I said. We continued talking until the bell rang and we went to our different classes. The next class I had was American history, with Edward. Only reason I didn't ditch that class. As I was walking to class, I noticed Edward had caught up with me.

"Hey." He said, "Did you happen to do the homework?"

Of course, I thought to myself, he needs to copy. "Yeah. Why? Do you need to copy?"

"You know me well Bella." He said with a smirk. "Want to know why I didn't do it?" I nodded my head and he continued. "I was lazy. Plus, you know that I don't push homework aside unless something important comes up, or I'm lazy. So, will you let me look?"

How could I not. The way his green eyes sparkled at me, I had to give in. It's like he dazzles me with his eyes. "Fine. But that means this afternoon I get to chose where we go and what we do." I said with a cocky smile well handing him the work.

"In that case," He said as we reached the class, "I'm glad I didn't do my work. Now dear, it's time to learn." He held the door open until I entered. We sat in our usual seats. In the back, next to each other. When class ended we went our separate ways. I made my way to English, well Edward went to biology. After English I went to biology. After lunch I had creative writing and after that I had French with. Yet again with Edward.

After school I met up with Alice and Rose to finalize our plans about the party. Edward, bless his horny heart, waited for me. Once we were done I made my way over to Edward and we were off.
