We pulled into the school and parked, but my opinion about Bella's truck had changed since we left that morning. I wished it could move even slower. I contemplated ditching, but I knew it was useless. I would have to show up eventually. I moved as slowly as I could into the building, bracing myself for attack of the girls. Stupid vampire looks. I pulled my hood on and walked to my locker. I should have brought a better disguise.
"Hey Edward," a familiar voice that I loathed greeted me. Her thoughts weren't so much better. Man, I don't know how Bella gave this up. He's so smoking hot!
"Hello, Jessica," I tried my hardest to be polite.
"Emmett tells me that you're looking for a date to prom," she added inflection on the last word so it sounded like a question. I'm willing to be more than a date for prom…
"Actually, Jessica," I said, turning on my smoldering eyes, "I have a date, but maybe you should try Jasper, I'm pretty sure he's looking." I chuckled quietly to myself, Jessica was the rumor mill at Forks High School. Everyone would turn their attention to Jasper soon enough.
Does he really think I'm that stupid? Jasper is always with Alice, and I don't want to mess with her. "You know, if you don't want to go with me you could have just said so. I don't need to be humiliated twice," she sniffed and walked away.
My plan backfired. She was smarter than her thoughts often showed. But of course, here came Jasper, walking with an infuriated Alice, though she wouldn't show that to the rest of the student body. How could he? No, how could SHE? Bella wouldn't even giver her best friend a ride in her truck, but she could take him? I had to ride the BUS! But watching Rosalie was pretty funny. She suddenly went into flashback mode, and I started laughing. Not that any passerby would notice, but this was as loud as I dared to get; I didn't want people thinking I was completely crazy.

Rose wouldn't sit with me that morning. She claimed she wanted to be alone with her thoughts. Ha! Like that was going to happen. Every loser guy who got on the bus would try their luck with Rosalie, and I was sure just what was going to happen to every single one of them. Here came the first one. He was wearing a pocket protector and the dorkiest glasses I'd ever seen. I could give him one hell of a makeover. Oh, wait, pay attention, this is good stuff.
"Hi, is this seat taken?" he asked Rose, who gave him one look and threw her bag in the seat next to her. "Oh, come on, your bag doesn't need its own seat," he tried to lift it up to hand it back to Rose, but she grabbed his arm just in time. I could tell she was squeezing a bit too hard.
"You have no chance with me, got it?" The guy nodded. "Now scram before I do something that we'd both regret."
Wide-eyed and horror struck, he quickly walked farther back and sat in the seat behind me. I couldn't resist, I turned around. "I think she likes you," I winked. He looked at me like I was crazy.
The next victim got on. He wasn't quite as gawky as the first, and had a much better sense of style. He'd still get an ass kicking if he tried the same thing. I heard the guy behind me laughing. Victim number two sauntered his way to Rose's seat. He didn't say a word and tried to sit down. Before he'd gotten halfway there, Rose grabbed him by his back pocket. She pushed him back to standing position and then back toward victim number one.
"Mee-oww," he tried to make a joke of the circumstances. "I just wanted to get to know you a little better, but I can see already that you're a tiger," This wasn't good. I glared at him, a warning for him to shut his mouth. He tried to sit with me. "You aren't half bad either."
"I won't hesitate to rip your head off, tough guy," I said, keeping a cheerful tone in my voice. "Why don't you go sit with Johnny Pocket-protector back there," I gave him a nice smile, and there he sat, right next to victim number one. This went on the entire morning, Rose being icy cold and tossing guy after guy back to me, who sent them off with a smile. Rose wasn't as entertained as I was. She was fuming.
A vision came to me, almost making me laugh. Girl after girl asking Edward to prom and then about his selected type of underwear. Serves him right.
Once we got to school, Jasper found me. I smiled at him through my madness, but he knew. He wrapped his arm around my waist anyway, probably trying to avoid the very situation Edward was in. I allowed it, I wouldn't want some girl to test Jasper. Having them there was hard enough without them trying to get in his space. Oh, what a day this was.

I followed Edward throughout the day, watching the mess I'd created for him. Every time Bella came to find him, she'd find another girl with him. Bella wasn't really the jealous type, but she still walked away to let him finish his conversation. The best one by far was Lauren Mallory. She had too much confidence for the whole school put together. She found Edward between classes.
"Hey there," she said, trying to be sexy. It didn't work.
Edward's face turned stone, it was a look that should have scared her away. But, like I said, she had too much confidence.
"Hi," he greeted shortly, if not rudely.
"I hear that you're looking for a date to prom," she said, inching closer. He inched away every time she took a step.
"That seems to be the rumor going around," he said gruffly. He opened his mouth to say something else, but Lauren took the pause as an opportunity.
"Well, I could go with you. And don't worry, I like a man in whitey tighties," she grinned from ear to ear, and believe me, it wasn't flattering.
Edward bent down to whisper in her ear. Good thing I have awesome hearing. "Lauren, I'm going to give you ten seconds to walk away and forget this ever happened before I yell out to the entire school just where you can put your whitey tighties, got it? Oh, and I already have a date to prom."
Lauren walked away mortified, but I heard what she told Jessica. "He says he likes me but he already has a date. He's going to see if he can cancel."
Edward slammed his locker a little too hard and walked out of the building. He went to Bella's truck to wait for her.
I walked to class, satisfied at my plan's success.
