Wow seems you guys really like this story! I'm glad you like it too. D

Do not own twilight.

The rest of the day past by fast with nothing eventful happening, and before I knew it I was standing in the lunch line. The cafeteria was a place where all the students get put into their places. It was stupid. I sat with Emmett, Angela and Alice in the table in the far corner, which is as far as we could get from 'the popular'.

They happened to be dead centre, surrounded by all the 'want to bee's', and that's the way they liked it. They almost always were surrounded by people, flanked on either side by the cronies they call friends.

They being, Rosalie Hale, queen of the pyramid, blonde, blue-eyed, tan, model body, bitch of the century and her followers, Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallroy.

Jessica was the school gossip; she found out everything and gave out everything. That girl couldn't keep a secret if her life depended on it. Jessica knew everything about everyone. She was short but her hair made up for that- people say that the reason her hair is so big and curly is because of all the gossip and secrets she intakes. Jessica was always Rosalie's right hand girl, always standing to the right of her.

And then there is Lauren Mallroy, not very bright and tries to model herself off Rosalie. As in she has grey-blue eyes but decides to wear tapis lazuli coloured contacts because they look like Rosalie's. Also Lauren tried to copy her latest hairstyle, well…not pretty; Rosalie practically dragged her back to the salon and made the hairdressers cut shorter and shorter till it resembled nothing like her own. Which was sad since she had layers and now Lauren's hair is a little above her shoulders and that's after a month of hair growing. Lauren is always Rosalie's left hand girl, always to the left.

And then you have the boys. Lets just say Edward Mason, king of the pyramid and therefore over all the guys in our year- except Em. He and Rosalie had dated for a while but then again, he has dated a lot of people and none of them last very long. But he also has little cronies that follow him all the time unless told not to. They were the 'terribly persuasive Jasper Whitlock' and the 'annoyingly persistent Mike Newton'.

I honestly think they both try to model themselves off of Edward. It might just be because he gets the girls so they think that copying him will get those them to. Where as girls model themselves off of Rosalie because she's beautiful- and everyone deep down wants feel beautiful to some extent, not because they want to attract lots and lots of the gender they like. But that is just an assumption.

Well Jasper is pretty much a smaller and less good-looking Edward. Don't get me wrong Jasper is good looking just not in the same way as Edward.

As some of the girls have said, "Edward mason is a fn machine.", followed by a whole lot of hand fanning.

Jasper is very charismatic and from what I've picked up, is very good with the ladies when he wants to be- and I swear that Ms Montgomery has had a HUGE crush on him ever since he sweet talked her out of giving him detention. I think I would like Jasper more than any of the others; he isn't with girl after girl, he's a little more mature and really isn't as annoying.

Speaking of annoying, Mike Newton. Well just hope that he doesn't have a crush on you cause then you will never be able to shake him off. Mike has a babyish face with blue eyes, he wasn't as tall as the other guys at around 5'11", and he always had his hair gelled into spikes like the boys did in middle school but overall, he was considered a good looking kid, but not my type in any way or form. The problem with Mike was when your friends with a guy that can get any girl he wants, and the girls would rather be with him over you, you tend to get a little jealous. And that then makes a very persistent Mike who won't take no for an answer cause Edward never gets a no.

After paying for my food I made my way through the sea of students and got to our secluded area. I sat down next to Alice- my other best girl friend, which was in the process of angrily taking huge chunks out of her pizza and glaring towards the centre of the room. I didn't think Alice would be one of those girls that eat her feelings but I guess I was just proven wrong.

"Alice…are you okay?" I asked hesitantly. She was either going to burst out and throw a fit, rant or both. There wasn't much that could get her this angry.

She dropped her pizza and swallowed. Alice turned to face me, took a deep breath and opened her mouth to start explaining.

"It's that idiot Jasper Whitlock! Oh my lord!" She looked up to the ceiling and made her hands look like se was choking someone.

"So what happe-" I tried again to get the real answer but she cut me off starting the rant.

"He was trying to get out of detention again! And he started practically FLIRTING with the teacher. So what do I do? I step in and give him my opinion." I opened my mouth to speak but she continued on anyway. "That he is a complete and utter imbecile that is so low that he has to get all sly and flirtatious with the teachers! I mean what the fudge?"

I nodded and let her finish before I decided to talk. There was no point in trying to interrupt her.

"And then while I was talking- and you know how I much I talk, he manages to interrupt me"- okay I guess there is only one person in this world that can interrupt her, hmm… "and starts saying repeatedly, 'Relax, relax, gosh, calm down! Relax…'" She made her voice deeper and tried to sound like him but made the voice sound more stupid and made goofy faces. I tried not to crack up at the faces she was making. It was a cross between a clown with a big idiot smile while rolling his eyes and an old loony bin with a murderous look. Not an easy thing to do but she managed.

By then Emmett and Angela had come and sat down. Emmett opened his mouth to ask but Alice brought her hand out, making a stop motion and through clenched teeth said, "Do not ask…" She then turned to look at the cafeteria doors hatefully.

I looked to my friends worried faces and mouthed 'I'll explain later', they nodded and started eating. I though it better not to disturb Alice's thinking time so I took a bite from my apple.

"Oh and speak of the devil…ses…and ses." Alice muttered darkly, I heard Emmett laugh at Alice's use of words. I looked over to the doors also and saw Edward, Jasper and Mike coming through the door. I hated this moment that happened almost everyday, all the girls are enjoying their friends company peacefully and then who walks in? The three hot musketeers, and all those girls eyes just get stuck on them, their chatter stops and their eyes happen to travel up and down their bodies as they walk gracefully to their royal table.

But as usual I rolled my eyes and looked away not wanting to give them more satisfaction. But Alice does what she normally does, glares at the three of them. If there was one person that hated Edward Mason more than me, it would be her. And I didn't even know why, Edward and she hardly ever speak. As for Mike she just thinks he's annoying and stupid as do our whole table…I think. Angela doesn't really talk about him much, well she actually doesn't like talking bad about anyone, which is one of the reasons I love her. She's so pure of heart.

"Just ignore them Alice" Angela said placing her hand Alice's for a second comfortingly.

"Yeah, don't worry about them Alice. I mean I can take care of them for you, like I took care of Mason for Bella and Angela this morning." Emmett, Angela and I smiled at the memory. "Isn't it Rosalie's little wish they were plastic trio you should be glaring at?"

After a second of Alice contemplating before answering, something seemed to dawn on her. "What was Edward doing to you today?" She asked, anger coming back into her features. Again, I had no idea how or why she got so angry at the mere mention of him.

"He was just being annoying." Angela replied simply, not caring so much about the situation.

"A-and he also kind of asked me out this morning…" I added slowly looking at the table. I slowly raised my head to see their faces, Angela merely looked surprised but then shrugged it off and Emmett and Alice were shocked and then angry. Their faces scared me a little; as much as I hated him I didn't want them to go kick his butt in the middle of lunch. "But I took care of him!" I amended quickly.

"What did you do?" Emmett's face was now amused and curious but Alice's was still not very happy looking.

"I stamped on his foot as hard as I could" I said with pride evident in my voice. Angela rolled her eyes and Emmett smiled appreciably. But Alice just looked kind of sad; she had resorted to staring at the table.

When it was almost time for class to start we all got up and dumped our trays. I said good bye to everyone and headed my separate way. To biology it was…and unfortunately Edward Mason.

When I got into the class room Mr Banner hadn't arrived yet so people were turned around in their seats and talking to people across the room. I chose a seat that was not right in the centre but just out to the side. I knew nobody would actually sit next to me, everyone knew Edward was in this class so everybody sits with their respective group. Its just the way things are.

The bell rang for class to start and the teacher still wasn't here…and neither was Edward for that matter. Maybe he decided to jig or something…Not that I cared, really.

Five minutes into class and the teacher was still not here. I could hear the students starting to think up reasons for the teacher's absence, but I soon toned it out. I wasn't really interested init anyway. If the teachers not here, good, enjoy it while it lasts.

I started thinking about what was up with Alice. She was usually a happy type of person, not over the top crazy- but sometimes it came out a little- but happy but when ever it comes to Edward or parents she gets all weird and defensive. But she would never talk about it, just ignore it or change the subject. But I decided a while ago that I wouldn't push her into telling me even if it is what I think would be best for her.

Just then Mr Banner and Edward came through the door. Everyone quickly righted themselves in their seats and I noticed the girls perk up at the sight of Edward, some even fluffing out their hair. Pathetic, I looked at the rain drops sliding down the window. It was the only thing I liked about rain, watching the drops separate into two and sliding down their own paths or joining onto another's. That was when I heard someone clearing their throat from the side of me.

I turned; irritated that someone had interrupted my pointless staring. It was Mason also looking annoyed and yet mischievous. I looked around and saw that most of the students were staring and the teacher was busy writing on the board what we had to do today. When I looked back and met his eyes he began talking.

"That's my seat." He gestured to the seat I was sitting in. I laughed once not believing what I was hearing.

"There wasn't assigned seating last year and there isn't this year."

"Yeah…but I always sit next to the window in the middle row." He said as though this was the most obvious thing in the world.

I looked around again but this time for effect and gestured to a corner in the front of the room that was surrounded by girls…and had one empty seat in amongst them- gee wonder who that was saved for?

"Why don't you go sit over there with the girls you don't actually like but love to be with." I replied sharply pointing in that direction. It was the only other empty seat besides the one next to me, and I am surprised he is even bothering to fight over this.

He leaned forward across the spare table next to me and whispered bitingly, "I don't like sitting at the front."

"Even though you would be sitting with your 'type'" I used his previous words against him, 'girl is my type'. He didn't do anything so I continued. "…I don't like the front either" I whispered back in the same tone.

"Well you could always just sit next to me." He asked in a suggestive tone that all the other girls would do anything to hear again.

"Like all the other girls? Let me think…No thanks." I shuddered to get my point across. He scoffed at this, oh yeah he was up himself.

"Well you always have been special in the head Bella."

"Yeah well, you are the only one that knows about my specialness as you were there with me the whole way. I mean who else had to show me around the asylum than someone who's been living there way longer." I replied sarcastically with a smile. His face dropped, he had nothing to say to that with out sounding like a little whiny baby.

"You're not going to move are you?"

In reply I placed my elbows on the table and rested by chin on my hands with a smile that said, 'answer your question?' He got the point.

"Mr. Mason, please sit down before I really do call your parents." Mr Banner warned. So that's why they were both late, he was getting in trouble. Ha-ha sucker. Edward turned to the teacher and pointed at me accusingly.

"Sir, she wont get out of my seat." I huffed and shook my head. He was being so childish.

"Mason just sit in the seat next to her or you'll be sitting by yourself." I much preferred him sitting by himself but he quickly sat down after that, dang. "Okay class, today you are just going to be working from the text book. The pages and questions you have to answer are on the board, remember answer in full sentences." He came around and handed out the books and told us to get to work. We had to share a book between two so I was stuck working with Edward.

I opened the book trying to get stuck into my work and block out Edward who was bound to be irritating as usual.

I started reading through the pages, but once I got to the next page that was on Edward's part of the table I had to lean forward, bringing me closer to Edward.

"Oh Bella I didn't know you wanted me this bad. At least wait till we are out of the public eye. I'm not that desperate." He murmured quietly enough so just I could hear. I made my hand into a fist and hit him in the chest with out taking my eyes off the page. I heard him laugh quietly.

I turned the page and was surprised there were no complaints from him saying he wasn't finished yet. I guess he was a fast reader, who knew?

This time it was him that leaned over. I still hadn't moved so his face was right by my ear. It felt very…odd having someone breathing on my neck and I felt goose bumps rise all over my body.

I turned to face him and his face was right there, innocently scanning over the page. I lifted the same hand and pressed it flat against his cheek and shoved him away. He looked at me confused, as if he didn't know.

"Personal air bubble" I whispered, glaring. I turned back to the book and from the corner of my eye I saw him frown. But he didn't bug me again, and again I was surprised that he wasn't being an idiot.

We were the first to finish the work on the board which left me with nothing to do. Edward had got on with his work silently and didn't bug me once through the entire thing. I peeked at him from the corner of my eye and found that he wasn't looking my way. Since he wasn't looking I rested my head on elbow and watched him.

I didn't understand him at all. I thought I did, girls, popularity, girls…but today he was paying extra attention to me. Even if it was him being annoying it was still a lot more attention he has given me before.

"Fantasising?" Edward asked randomly in a knowing voice, nodding his head in and understanding way. Only then did I realise that I was still staring at him. He thought I was fantasising about him! Dream on bucko.

In all honesty I was embarrassed. I had worked very hard to learn how to not blush so much and I had to try VERY hard right now to stop one from forming. That would just boost his ego even more.

I rolled my eyes as a cover up and looked away. I hoped he would stay silent after that like he had earlier but my luck didn't hold out.

"Bella?"

"Yes" I responded warily, I didn't trust him.

"Remember how you said this morning not to touch you again?" I turned to look at him and nodded, as smile came on my face.

"Right after I stood on your foot."

"…Yeah…" his face was priceless right now, he looked ticked. He definitely didn't like being messed with, especially by a girl.

He grabbed my wrist suddenly and I was tempted to bite his hand so he'd let go. But before I could do anything he started moving his finger around in front of my face. I had no idea what he was doing but I waited patiently until he stopped being stupid and got on with it. Finally he pointed his index finger right between my eyes, not quite touching but very close.

"Am I touching you now?" he asked in a cheeky, childish sounding voice.

"No" I sighed already bored with his games.

"Yes I am." He looked very sure with himself and I hated it. He was practically calling me dumb, I would know if someone had their hand on my face.

"No you're not."

"Yes I am." Okay, so I probably should just end it here but no. My short temper flared and I retaliated, especially since he had an amused smirk on his face.

"No, you are not!" I raised my voice a bit louder. It was such a stupid thing to be fighting about but he just gets to me in ways others don't even compare to.

"Yes! I am touching you." he yelled it too and I realised that the whole class went quiet after he said. It sounded like he meant something else by that and I blushed at what I knew people would be thinking. Edward raised my arm by the wrist that he was still holding on to…oops.

"What do you call this?" He said in a tone that definitely made me sound like a toddler.

I stared at my wrist that he was still holding a little longer than necessary and then met his eyes. "I call this shut up." I snapped and then ripped my arm away and looked out the window, embarrassed that he had outsmarted me even in the most trivial thing.

"Ms Swan, Mr Mason would you please go wait outside the class room? Just because you like to disturb each other doesn't mean you should be allowed to disturb the rest of the class." The teacher said coming over to stand in the front of our table. I opened my mouth in shock and took the walk of shame out of the class room. I could feel Edward right behind me. Once the door was closed I turned around and shoved him as hard as I could.

"Idiot! Look what you made happen."

"I'm not the one that started yelling." I turned my back to him, glaring at the wall. "Besides its not important, it's not like he is going to ring your dad, it was nothing." I spun around to face him.

"It was nothing? I just got kicked out of class with you. Do you know how many people will be talking and then Charlie will find out. There are no secrets in Forks!"

He paused for a few seconds, looking like he was really thinking over what I said. "I still think you're over reacting. What's so bad about being seen with me? Girls love to be seen with me…Why don't you?" He looked truly frustrated by this thought and again I was amazed he held such an interest in me.

"…I-I don't trust you. And how can I when you're a player and go from girl to girl, dropping them like flies with out a care for how they feel. You're a jerk." I finished. I thought I was being to nice by actually admitting what I really thought so I added the last bit in.

He stayed quiet after that and I just turned away from him until the teacher told us we could come back inside.

Gym was uneventful as usual-well apart from my falling and hitting people in the wrong places; we were playing dodge ball. The only thing even mildly exciting was when Ben Cheney tripped, fell onto Mike and made him peg the ball that was being aimed at Emmett, at Coach Clapp, who got a bleeding nose and yelled at Mike for almost 10 minutes. Yep, not exciting at all.

Since our class had been let out early due to the coach's early disappearance I headed out to the car park to leave. Most of the other students in class had decided to just stick around and wait for their friends. Emmett had football practise after school so he stayed behind.

I was just about to round the corner to get to the parking lot, but stopped in my tracks when I heard two familiar voices yelling at each other.

"Listen, just stay away from her!" I heard Alice yell.

"Why the hell should I? It's none of your business Brandon." Edward sneered her last her name sounding just as angered. I wondered what had brought on their sudden go at each other…although it probably wouldn't take much.

"She's my friend and you are probably just like the thing you call your father" She spat out the word 'father'. And they were talking about me. "I don't want her getting hurt. Plus, she doesn't want you, she's said it once she'll say it again" She finished.

"Look, just because you weren't want-" Edward started but I thought now would be a good time to cut in before anything to harsh was said.

"What's going on here?" I asked confused. I had a feeling they wouldn't tell me but I could hope…right?

Their heads both snapped towards my direction and their eyes were filled with hate. I was startled at their expressions, there was obviously a lot more going on than I thought.

"Nothing." They both said coldly at the same time. Edward looked back at Alice for a second before spinning around and walking swiftly in the other direction. My eyes followed after him before they returned to Alice. She was looking at me sort of upset and I wanted to comfort her.

I took a step forward and placed my hand on her shoulder. She shrugged it off and took a few steps back. "Just don't Bella. Don't ask and don't worry, I'll tell you when I'm ready." With that said she went to her car and drove off, leaving me alone in the large parking lot.

I walked slowly to my truck deep in thought and got in. I paused before I started the engine. I felt like I was being watched. I looked around the parking lot and found Edward staring at me from his car. When he caught my eye he smiled and wrapped his hand around his wrist, wagging it up and don't in front of him. Then touched his finger to his temple and rolled his eyes, the sign saying that I was a complete dill-brain.

I then scowled and tried to look as scary and angry as possible. This only seemed to make him amused and he yelled,

"I'll call you!"

I can't believe him!
