A/N: The title is pretty self explanitory. This is for everyone who said it would be a good idea, I was going to make it funnier but somehow it didn't turn out like I expected it would. But I still like it so here it is. Oh and thanks to everyone who reviews my stories.

Jessica Asking Edward To The Dance

"Alice," I was getting annoyed now, she had been blocking her mind from me all day. "What is going on?"

"Nothing," She said innocently. I looked in her mind again to see that she was still singing the barney song in latin.

"Well can you at least sing something else, that song is starting to drive me crazy." I told her.

"Nope, you should just stay out of my head." I glared and turned back to my tray. I decided to take Alice's advice and looked in the thoughts of other people around me instead of hers. Maybe the rest of my family knows what is going on.

The ants go marching one, by one. Emmett of course, his song was almost worse then Alice's.

Row, Row, Row your boat. I had at least expected a better song from Jasper, his was just as bad as his brother and wife.

Look how frizzy Jessica's hair is today, And her clothing just doesn't look good on her. Since when does Rosalie pay attention to what Jessica was wearing. I looked at her to see she was looking over my shoulder. I tuned in to the thoughts of Jessica, never something I enjoyed doing, but it was becoming a routine now, trying to learn more about Bella. I didn't know why that one human interested me so much. I convinced myself that it was purely because I wanted to know why I couldn't hear her thoughts, but I was starting to wonder if there was more to it then that.

I can do this, I can do this, I can do this. Jessica was chanting in her head. Okay just walk over there. I was slightly interested. Jessica's thoughts were always so confident so I wondered what she was trying to do. I looked at Alice curiously, she stifled a giggle. I tuned back in to Jessica's thoughts once again annoyed now. okay here goes. I turned to see what she was doing and noticed her walking towards are table. Oh God. I can so Not do this. I saw Jasper concentrating on Jessica, and suddenly she was walking towards me again with renewed confidence. I glared at him.

"Edward?" she asked. I smiled. "Will you go to the dance with me?" Her thoughts we slightly scrambled now as she waited for my reply. I definitely didn't want to go with Jessica but she would be with Bella for most of it, and I wanted to figure out what was wrong with her. Ever since I had seen her bruises in Angela's mind I have wanted to know what caused them. And maybe I could figure out what she was thinking. But it really wasn't fair to use Jessica like that. I debated this for a few seconds in my head. Jessica's thoughts became more uncertain, now that Jasper had stopped giving her confidence boosters.

"We could just go as friends if you want." she added.

"Sure Jessica, that would be great." I finally answered her. She smiled hapily.

"Oh Jessica?" Alice chimed from behind me.

"Yea?"

"Do you Angela and Bella want to come over to my house to gt ready?" she asked smiling brilliantly.

"Umm sure." replied Jessica. She walked immediately back to Angela and Bella.

"Alice!" our whole family coursed at once.

"What?" Her eyes were wide with innocence, but her thoughts said otherwise. Oh this will be so much fun, They'll all thank me when-Her thoughts cut off there when she noticed I was looking. She went back to singing songs in her head. I rolled my eyes.

"Jasper," I called him

"Yes?" He asked innocently.

"You are so dead!" I glared.

"Bella, Angela guess what!" My vampire hearing caught Jessica saying,

"What?" they asked at the same time.

"I just asked Edward to the dance! And he said yes!" She exclaimed, "I can't believe it."

"I told you he liked you." Angela said. Her thoughts were disbelieving though. Bella was nodding with a smile on her face. She seemed happy for Jessica but I sensed that there was an underlying emotion that she was suppressing. Right then the bell rang signifying the end of lunch. Since Alice had warned me that we were going to be doing blood typing in class today, I skipped and went to my car to listen to a CD. Halfway through the third song I saw Jessica emerge from the class room carrying a stumbling Bella. Immediately I ran out to see what happened.

"Is she okay?" I asked Angela.

"I'm fine." She said exasperated. "It was just the blood in class, I just need to sit down."

"I'm taking her to the nurse." Angela told me.

"I'll take her," I offered "You can go back to class." she seemed reluctant to leave but gave in. I picked Bella up and carried her to the nurses office.

"I'm fine," she sounded very annoyed now. I laughed. "Really, just put me down." She said. I agreed and placed her gingerly on her feet. As soon as I did she stumbled, I chuckled. Defeated, she let me carry her the rest of the way to the nurses office. I loved how perfectly she seemed to fit in my arms when I was carrying her. Her warmth felt so nice, even through our clothing. I suppressed a sigh. I brought her to the nurse who said that Bella was fine, she just needed to sit down.

"Told you." she huffed. After a few minutes some colour returned to Bella's cheeks so the nurse said we could leave. "So why weren't you in class today?" she asked me.

"I don't like being around peoples blood either." I replied smiling at the irony of that statement.
