Another year in Forks, Washington. Yay. Can you sense my sarcasm?

Its okay, Bella. Just two more years then you're out of here! I know that's not the kind of attitude to have, but I'm so tired of this school! Nothing happens here. The only exciting thing that might happen is if Edward Cullen comes to school high.

Told you. Boring.

I sigh as I shut my trucks door and head to the commons area of the Forks High school. I could walk through these halls with my eyes closed. That's not a good thing. Not at all. Surprises are good sometimes. Especially if you're about to pull your hair out in frustration from doing the same thing every single god damn day.

Dear God, please listen to my prayer? I need a distraction. Something to make me believe that life isn't this boring. Anything. Anything at all! Please! I'm begging you! It could be as small as a tornado that hits the school this morning! Or as big as a HUGE scholarship that gets me outta here! Love, Bella.

"Hey, Babe," greeted Mike Newton.

I looked up accusingly at the sky and sighed in frustration. Very funny, God.

I put a small smile on my face and cooed, "Hey, Mike."

He put his arms around my waist and after we sayed hello to various people, we started walking to my locker.

When we got there I put my books in my locker as Mike leaned 'casually' on the locker next to mine. He couldn't pull off casual if a Haynes t-shirt shot him in the face. I couldn't help but smile at the little freshman that was waiting impatiently trying to show Mike she was waiting. He glanced at her and looked back at me as if she didn't exist. And in his eyes, she didn't.

I tried not to roll my eyes as we shared some mindless chitchat.

"It's raining."

"Yep."

I started shivering and realized I had left my jacket at home. Damn. I looked at Mike hopefully and he saw me rubbing my arms. "Forgot your jacket again?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm so cold." I said batting my eyelashes.

He laughed and rubbed my arms, "Silly, Bella. I have a way for us to warm up." He wagged his eyebrows suggestively.

I snorted and rolled my eyes. 'Your letterman jacket would have sufficed, but I'm fine."

I walked away from him and went to my first period. Biology.

As I walked in the classroom and saw that every seat in the class was taken. Except for the one by Edward Cullen. There was a reason the seat was empty, but it wasn't like I had a choice.

I sat down with a heavy sigh and put my head on the table. I tried to think of warm beaches to keep the cold away from me.

I felt my goose bumps rise even higher as I dreamed of warmer climates.

I felt someone touch me and I glanced over to my left in surprise.

Edward was holding out a worn hoodie and my nose pinched in distaste. I could just imagine what that jacket smelled like. Weed and more drugs probably.

"No, thanks." I said as nicely as I could.

He looked down at it and back to me, his bronze hair falling back into place, and said, "I just washed it last night, it doesn't smell. Promise."

I jumped slightly and took the hoodie carefully as if I might break it. As I pulled it over I smelled nothing but nice cologne. I huddled in its warmth. 'Thank you."

He smiled and saluted me. "Not a problem. I would have figured King Mike to have tripped over himself in keeping you warm."

I laughed and nodded, "Don't I know it?"

He rose his eyebrows and said, "You're not going to defend him?"

I shook my head and muttered, "Nope. Not a chance."

"Ouch. Mike Newton needs to watch his back."

I laughed and then looked around. Everyone was staring. Everyone. Oh god. I can't wait till Mike hears this one.

Edward looked around when I did and I whispered, "Looks like you should be the one who needs to watch his back."

He grinned at me. "Nah. Newton won't mess with me."

I looked at him up and down. "Is that supposed to impress me?"

He grimaced and muttered, "No, it's supposed to scare you."

I smirked. "Nice try, but I don't get scared."

It was his turn to smirk back as he said, "I think I can scare you."

I looked down seriously and put my hands flat on the table, "Nothing could even surprise me anymore in this town let alone scare me."

I saw his hand inch up and gently be placed on mine.

I felt my eyebrows rise in shock.

Maybe there were some surprises left after all.

As I walked to lunch I noticed there were more stares on me than usual. What's up with that? Waiting for me at the doors was Mike. He wasn't looking very happy. I raised my eyebrow and waited for him to start.

"Who's jacket is that your wearing?" He asked through clenched teeth.

I looked down in surprise. "Oh, I forgot I was still wearing it. It's Edward Cullens."

I saw his eyebrows raise up in shock. "I expected you to cheat on me sometime, but with CULLEN! I thought Tyler maybe,but CULLEN? What does that freak have that I don't?"

I looked at his red face and felt my temper rise, "Yeah, Mike. I screwed Edward in Biology in front of everyone. Right there on the lab table. The teacher even gave us pointers! JESUS CHRIST! This was my first time talking to him!"

He calmed down a little, but still eyes the jacket wearily, "What's with that then?"

I hit him in the chest and shouted, "He saw that I was cold! HE gave me his jacket like you could have done this morning!"

Everybody was circling around us now and I saw a flash of bronze. I paid no attention to it though. All I saw was red, and it was directed at Mike.

His face got red again and he brought his face closer to mine, "Don't hit me. Just because I didn't give you my jacket this morning doesn't mean you can go off and get a new boyfriend!"

That was the perfect time to hit him but I refrained. "Yeah, Mike, because taking someone else's jacket means I'm marrying him. You know what? I'm sick of you! Your too jealous for your own good!"

He backed up as if I had slapped him. "Are you breaking up with me?"

I looked away from him and nodded. "Yeah, I am."

Mike looked to his left and I saw Edward tense up as if he was ready for a fight.

Mike lokoed back at me and had a unattractive smile on his face. "Good luck with her. I couldn't make her spread her legs for anything."

I felt my cheeks go up in flames. Two things had surprised me today.

Edward Cullen put his hand on mine.

Mike Newton grew a pair.

Hey guys! Here's my new story! I don't know if it's good or not but I was bored even though I should have been doing my homework. Ugh. This site will be the death of me I swear

Love,
