A/N This is going to be a short read with some lemons and a generous helping of angst. It will be a novella of sorts. The chapters will be short, around 1,000-1,500 words. I anticipate this story lasting maybe 20 chapters.
Chapter 2 **A Plan**
~*Bella Swan*~
"Bella, you have to tell me what happened!" Lauren screeched irritably through the phone.
"I don't really want to talk about it," I muttered, dejected.
"Tell me this – why, after half an hour with you, did James take Victoria upstairs?" she asked, appalled and somewhat accusing. I winced at the mention of his name.
"Fuck, Lauren, you don't give up do you?"
"Bel-la," she groaned pleadingly.
I held back the tears that threatened to burst over the memory. I had to give her something, but her forked tongue couldn't be trusted, not even with the coveted best friend status I had so kindly bestowed upon her.
"Fine! So we were up in Mike's parent's room and James and I were kissing, among other things. We were actually about to do it, but I got a call from my mom, saying that I had to come home early," I lied easily. I was a good actress.
"Huh," she sighed, sounding disappointed.
She wasn't getting any gossip out of me. My defenses were up like Fort-fucking-Knox.
"Well, I guess I must have worked him up pretty good if he was desperate enough to fuck Victoria," I shot back as I felt the bile rise inside just from the thought of my James with that skank.
"Wow, Bella, I have to say, I initially thought that maybe James might have turned you down because you're a virgin," she nearly spat the dreaded word that was currently making my existence a living hell. And there it was - the saccharine sound of my 'best friend' making me wonder why the fuck I had surrounded myself with people like her in the first place. Oh, right - it was because I needed to run with the popular crowd so I would at least be on James' radar.
The bitch knew everything, too. The whole fucking time, she let me believe that I had a chance with James, knowing good and fucking well that I hadn't taken the 'necessary steps' to be what he wanted, or rather to give away what he didn't want from me. It was time for damage control.
"You know, I might have thought the same thing if I were you. The funny thing was, he already knew I was a virgin. He wanted me so badly he was going to make an exception."
The venom of more lies coated my tongue, leaving me with a bitter taste. I hated it, but what choice did I have?
I couldn't risk my status or my chances with James. He seemed willing to give me another opportunity, so I knew if I could secretly lose my virginity sometime in the next few weeks, Lauren and all my other girlfriends would no doubt have to believe that I was an exception. I would be the virgin who bedded James, only I wouldn't be a virgin, and only James and the lucky guy I would fuck to get to him, would be the wiser. Now, all I had to do was find 'The Guy'.
~*LI*~
1 First things first, 'The Guy'-
2 Must be trustworthy.
3 Not a dog - semi-cute at least.
4 Preferably another virgin.
5 Not popular.
6 Sweet, if possible.
There was a lot of risk involved with this situation. For one, the guy I picked couldn't tell anyone about us or my rep would be fucked.
He couldn't be gross; I wasn't that desperate.
If he were a virgin, too – well, I wasn't really sure why I had added that rule. It almost seemed more special for my first time to be with another virgin. Shit, I felt like I was betraying James by even thinking that. Of course, it shouldn't matter if the guy was a virgin or not. My James had experience. He would make it good for me. A silly virgin would be fumbling in the dark and last maybe all of two seconds. I could have scratched that rule out, but I didn't.
The 'not popular rule' was uber-important. I couldn't fuck guys like Mike Newton or Tyler Crowley, because the locker room would be buzzing with reenactments of the noises I made when I came and the color of my thong.
The fifth and final rule was kind of an add-on. I was still feeling the sting of James' rejection, and I felt I was due a little TLC. I wanted to be worshipped. My virginity was a gift, whether James wanted the fucking thing or not. Someone was going to appreciate it.

Halloween weekend was over quickly, and after my lengthy lie-filled conversation with Lauren, I had spent the majority of my time coming up with 'the rules'. After looking through my yearbook for prospects, I'd narrowed them down to a short list of potential guys. I then listed their status, negative qualities, and cute factor on a scale of one to ten.
1 Riley Biers - Mathletes President - rumored bed-wetter - *Cute Factor – 6*
2 Eric Yorkie - Band geek - greasy hair - *Cute Factor – 5*
3 Seth Clearwater – Baseball – sophomore ( a little young) - *Cute Factor – 8*
4 Ben Cheney – Science Club – possible girlfriend - *Cute Factor – 6*
I tried to think if there was anyone else when suddenly, I remembered my lab partner from Biology. I couldn't seem to picture his face. I could only remember reddish hair and glasses. Aside from the necessary, during the few labs we'd done together, we'd hardly spoken in the last three months of class that we shared. James was in that class, so I supposed it was hard to pay attention to the person next to you when the object of your desire and lust was sitting just two tables ahead.
My lab partner was quiet, though. I didn't know much else about him, but I had a feeling he could keep his mouth shut. I just needed make sure he wasn't a total dog. Against my better judgment, I added him to the list.
Edward Cullen – Quiet Lab Partner - ? - *Cute Factor- ?*
