Previously on Two is Better than One

"Wow Edward, you got paired up with that freak Bella Swan. That sucks." She sneered. I desperately wished for only one thing. Please don't agree Edward. Don't be like them.

"Yeah it does." I heard him answer. I felt my mouth drop open, and only one thought could process in my brain.

I thought you might be different.

Chapter 2 Hard To Say.

It's a clique I've never been a part of. It's not like I identify them in a negative way.

Edward's POV

I instantly regretted them as soon as the words left my mouth. Especially afer I looked back and Bella was standing 2 feet away from us, clearly in hearing range of our conversation. Shit! Bella quickly walked past us, purposefully bumping my shoulder.

"That doesn't mean anything, does it partner?" She said coldly, throwing my earlier words back at me. Normally I would have apologized for being such an ass, and insisted that I hadn't meant what I'd said. But with Lauren standing only two inches away(she invades my personal bubble way too much.) I could only say, "Right Partner." keeping my voice soft and friendly. I held out my fist, begging for forgiveness with my eyes. She glanced warily between my fist and my eyes before finally bumping her fist against mine, and walking swiftly away in the direction of her next class.

Unspokenly, our fist bumps had become our way of telling if everything was okay. It was weird how we both seemed to understand it too. Lauren's obnoxiously high pitched voice pierced through my thoughts.

"Jeez! A freak and a bitch! But don't worry, you were such a gentleman Edward."

Well actually Lauren, Bella is a really sweet, intelligent, misunderstood girl that I feel like I could tell anything to. Oh, and did I mention that I've only talked to her for a total of 5 minutes and I already feel like we're best friends. By the by, I'm not the least bit of a gentleman, I am a complete jackass for talking about Bella behind her back (well, in front of her face technically) and then not even having enough courage to give her a proper apology... Was what I wanted to say, but all I could say was

"Yep, that's me." Lauren smiled her ultra white smile with pointy teeth. Honestly, her smile always scared me. I liked Bella's better. Her smile was warm and cute. Lauren's was failing horribly at trying to be sexy. It looked a lot more like a lopsided grimace. The bell rang, signaling that we all should be in out classes now.

"Dammit. Mr. V said that if I got one more tardy I'd have detention after school. Oh well, By Edward!" She said/screeched before trying to kiss my lips. I quickly turned my head to the side so she could only kiss my cheek. I mean seriously, we're not even a couple! In fact I don't even like her. She didn't even look dejected as she twitched to her pre-algebra class. No you didn't hear wrong. She's a junior in high school and still in pre-algebra. Failing at that. Oh, and by twitched I mean literally twitched. She tries to shake her ass way too much, she just looks spastic.

I almost feel bad for her. Okay, not really.

Classes seemed to drag on endlessly until it was finally lunchtime. I went through the lunch line quickly, grabbing whatever looked good, and paying for it. I went and sat down with my usual group. The usual group consisted of Emmett my best friend since the fourth grade, his girlfriend Rosalie, her brother Jasper, my sister Alice who was dating Jasper, Jessica one of Lauren's friends, Mike her boyfriend and one of the football players, and last and most definitely least, Lauren. We were the populars, the elite,the exclusive, the first-class. Whatever you want to call it, that's us. Suddenly, Emmett's obnoxious voice snapped my attention back to the conversation.

"You eat such 'girl' food, Edward!" He called loudly pointing at my salad, sandwich, and water. I raised an eyebrow.

"It's called eating healthy dumbass. You might want to try it sometime." I said wrinkling my nose at his 3 slices of pizza, large bag of hot cheetos, and 16oz. Bottle of Mountain Dew.

"Hey, this is my last chance to pig out before football season. You know coach doesn't allow it once it starts!" He defended.

"And I'll miss you so much sweetie, yes I will. But only for a few months. A few painful, torturous months and we'll be back together." He cooed at his pizza, holding it to his chest effectively getting grease all over his sweatshirt.

"Jeez, you'd think he should be talking to me." Rose complained. Emmett tried to snort, but only resulted in choking on his pizza. I thumped him on the back to try to ease his coughing. I might have done it a little too hard, because his pizza flew from his hand and landed on the floor. He screamed and ran toward it, scooping it up in his hands and taking a bite.

"10 second roll!" He announced to the cafeteria. He smiled triumphantly and took another bite. Then he frowned, "Actually, it's a little furry."(A/N this happened to my friend kinda sorta, I'll tell the story in the A/N) Everyone at our table complained with "Ew's" and "gross's". After I finished laughing at my meathead bestfriend, I noticed that we were missing two.

"Where's Alice and Jasper?" I aske

"The janitor's closet." Emmett answered crudely. Rose slapped him on the back of the head and continued to answer my question after Emmett grumbled, "It was just a joke babe."

"Alice had another feeling, told us she would be sitting somewhere else for the day, and naturally Jazz went with her." Rose said putting heavy implications on the word 'feeling'. Me, Rose, Em, and Jazz, all knew that Alice was partly phsycic. She would always have feelings, like whether it was going to be sunny, whether someone was okay or not. It was a little weird at first but you soon learned that it was very helpful. We all new Alice's visions could mean something very bad or very good...

I searched the room for her and froze when I saw where she was.

She was sitting with Bella and her friends.

...and I prayed that it meant something good.

A/N Okay, Okay I know it was the most boring chapter ever and I'm REALLY sorry! I promise the next chapter will have a lo more of Bella and Edward. I really want to take my time with their relationship, because they are barely getting to really get to know eachother1 Oh and the story about the whole "It tastes furry thing" came from when my friend and I were trying to spit our gum in the air and catch it back in our mouths, like how selena gomez does it. And a lot of the gum ended up on the floor. When I messed up I would just get a new piece, but my friend would recycle her gum and one time she picked it up off the ground, put it in her mouth and she was like "It tastes furry!" So yeah her names Jessica so you should thank he for that one, lol.

High five if you want me to update soon!

Stay awesome!

Love,

Jacky
