EPOV- 1 month later

Bella is my best friend. Shes beautiful, smart, funny, stubborn, unique. I could go on all day. She's one of a kind. Shes not like any of the girls I've dated before. Not that Bella and I are dating… yet.

When I pulled into the parking lot my eyes immediately started looking for her car. We always park next to each other.

Unfortunately, there were no parking spots open next to her car since I am five minutes late and school has already started, so I decided on a parking spot across from hers.

When I got to home room I couldn't believe my eyes. Bella was sitting with Maddie and the clones behind them. What was going on? I thought Bella hated her. I know Maddie hates Bella since I'm with her all the time. Why would they be sitting by each other? Let alone talking to each other?

"Edward, are you planning on joining this class anytime soon?" Mr. Calden asked.

"Ya sorry." The only seat left was in front of the class so I took my seat and endured a boring hour of Spanish.

When first period was through I decided to wait by the door for Bella. To my surprise she came through the door with Maddie attached to her side.

"God Bella your hilarious!" her annoying laugh was ringing along with Bella's.

"Hey Edward." Bella acted as if everything was normal.

"Can we talk? In private." I added glancing at Maddie.

"Well, I'll see you at lunch Bella." Maddie even waved as she walked away. What the hell?

"What's up Edward?" she really had no idea.

"What do you think Bella?" My voice was sarcastic and I think she could tell from my expression that I wasn't happy.

"What? I sat with Maddie instead of you? Well sorry Edward!" then she took off for her locker and I followed trying to keep pace with her.

"Bella. Since when are you and Maddie even friends?"

"I don't know. Since like this morning?" she shrugged her shoulder like it didn't even matter.

"Bella seriously?"

"What?"

"Since when does Maddie even notice you?" The words didn't register until after they left my mouth and immediately I wish I could take them back.

"Why wouldn't she notice me Edward? Am I not good enough or something?"

"Bella that's not what I meant."

"Well you would know since you're popular."

"Bella! That came out wrong! I didn't mean you weren't good enough! You're too good for Maddie! I just don't like you hanging out with her." Bella seemed to ponder this for a while before she started putting her books into her locker.

"Well Edward, I think Maddie is nice and just because shes you're ex girlfriend," she said the word in disgust. I wonder why," Doesn't mean I can't hang out with her." She closed her locker and waited for my response.

I put my hands on her cheeks and held her face there. "I know. I was just a little jealous. That's all." I sighed in defeat. She was right. I can't choose who she hangs out with.

Then she wrapped me into a tight hug. "Don't worry Edward. No one can replace you!" she was back to her normal happy voice again.

I know I've only known her for about a month but I'm sure about my feelings for her and I had to tell her.

"You're the best friend I've ever had Bella. No one will ever replace you." And I held her in a tight loving hug. "I love you Edward but I'm gonna be late for class so…" she started to push away from me.

"Oh ya! I still have to go to my locker." Then she kissed my cheek and I felt something I've never felt before.

After she ran off to her Algebra class my cheek still tingled from where her lips touched it. I stood there for a while trying to shake the feeling of wanting more when the bell finally rang. I was late but when I did get to class the only thing I could think about was Bella. I wanted Bella. It was a strange feeling but I needed Bella more than just a best friend.

BPOV

I got to class right on time.

Kyler was there talking to one of his many friends as I took my seat.

"Hey Bella." Did he just talk to me? When I looked at his face there was a pretty friendly smile there.

"Hey." My voice was full of confusion. He noticed.

"Sorry I was so rude last class. Bad day." He shrugged his shoulders but I knew it wasn't because of a bad day because in Creative Arts he was just fine with all of his other friends. He was definitely lying and I knew I should be mad but for some reason I couldn't be. I was actually excited he was just talking to me.

"It's fine. We all have them." Then the bell rang.

Kyler and I didn't talk during the lesson but I could see him stealing glances at me every once and a while. At the end of class he stopped me before I headed for the door.

"Will I see you at lunch?" he asked.

"Of course." I was sitting with Maddie today. I hope Edward wouldn't mind.

English was boring as ever! I was excited when the lunch bell finally rang.

When I got to the lunch room Edward and all of his friends were already there. Two tables behind his was Maddie, the clones, Matt and Kyler.

Maddie was waving her arm at me like a mad woman. In response I mouthed to her 'One second!' and went over to Edward's table. I had to at least tell him I wasn't sitting with him today.

"Bella!" Edward patted the seat next to him.

"Edward!" I gave him a hug, "Umm… do you mind if I sit with Maddie today?" He stood up then and glanced over at their table. Kyler was watching Edward with curious eyes.

"Sure but only cause you're my best friend!" and he kissed my cheek. I know that Edward thinks of me as a best friend but when he kissed me my heart fluttered in a way it shouldn't. Edward, to me, is more than a friend. But he doesn't have the same feelings for me that I have for him. It would never work.

I made my way to Maddie's table and sat next to her, across from Kyler.

He gave me a flirty smile that took me by surprise. "Bella! What took you so long?" he asked me.

"Oh just had to talk to Edward." This didn't please him.

"That Edward guy is a real piece of work." His voice was full of disgust and I immediately wanted to stand up for my best friend but I didn't want to make anyone at the popular table mad. I wanted to fit in so I simply decided to ignore Kyler's comment.

"Oh really." Was all I responded.

"Bella I love your top!" Maddie said grabbing at it with wide eyes. It wasn't anything fancy like what she was wearing. It was just some sweater from American Eagle.

"Really?" I asked her.

"Ya! Don't you think Bella looks cute in this Kyler?"

Kyler's eyes didn't leave my face, "I think Bella looks gorgeous." He gave me a flirty smile that made my face turn pink.

After that Kyler and I chatted while Maddie made out with Matt.

As we walked out of the cafeteria Matt and Kyler went their own way while Maddie and I went the other. Of course the clones followed.

Maddie started to giggle.

"What?"

"Kyler so likes you!" she giggled even more.

"You really think so?" a wide smile grew on my face.

"Totally! Didn't you see how he was looking at you at lunch?"

"Well I don't know but I gotta go to Bio." I was totally blushing now.

"Well, see ya in Creative Arts." Then she walked off.

Does Kyler really like me? There's no way. That'd be so cool if he did tough! I wonder what Edward would think about all of this.

I missed him during lunch. All biology I thought about Edward and Kyler.

I pulled out my notebook and I compared the two but whatever I was comparing between them Edward would always come out on top.

I would definitely choose Edward over Kyler any day but I know Edward and I will never be more than friends.

Although I wish we were more.

Do you guys think I should continue this story?
