Oh, Edward. He's just SO perfect. To Bella, of course. Not to me. He walks her to EVERY class, almost EVERY day, and then she doesn't even notice me. I mean, she used to, until Mr. Perfect came along. Now she just pushes me out of the picture to be with Edward.

Great, here they come. More like here HE comes.

"Hey..." I trailed off, because Bella and Edward just walked right past me.

Of course they don't notice me. I'm just little Mike Newton. The sidekick. And he's superman.

I tried to talk to Bella in the halls, she said she was talking to Edward right at that moment. But that was exactly why I was going over to talk, to get her away from Edward for 2 seconds so I could ask her a simple little question. I tried again in gym. Nope, she was too busy. AGAIN.

After school, I wanted to call Bella just to talk, since I didn't talk to her at school.

Ring, ring, ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Bella, It's Mike." I said, kinda shaky.

"Oh, hi. What's up? I don't think I talked to you all day. Were you even at school?" she curiously asked.

"Um, yeah. I tried to say hi in the halls, and in gym, but you like, ignored me." I said.

"I did? Sorry, I'm sure I didn't mean to."

"I know." I paused, waiting to see if she'd say anything. She didn't. "So, what are you doing?"

"Just hanging out with Edward." Great. Edward. Just who I wanted to hear about.

"Hi, Edward." I said through teeth, forced.

She gave him the phone for a couple seconds. "Hello, Mike. How are you?" he asked.

"Great." I said sarcastically, which he didn't notice. Again.

"That's very good." he said. Bella took the phone back, then laughed. "I'm back. But, I think we're gonna go. Talk to you later!" Bella said, almost yelled.

"Ok." I sighed. Again, she, wait, THEY, didn't notice. "I'll see you tomarrow."

I hung up the phone after I knew she did. I sighed again, very loudly, and fell into my bed. I thought about how much Bella hung out with Edward, and how many weekends she spent with him, how many times she had gone to the Cullen house. And I knew she hated when I called him 'Cullen'. But I just couldn't call him Edward. But, since my love for Bella was bigger, much much bigger, than my hate for

Cu--Edward, I started calling him by his name.

I guess she'll never know how much I actually like her.
