The Police: Don't Stand So Close to Me

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

I pulled into the Forks High parking lot and I parked my Mellie. Ok, it was my car, but she had a name and a personality. She was a '97 Plymouth Neon. My dad had picked her up for me at a used car lot in Port Angeles. It was sort of a welcome home gift. She was the most adorable shade of watermelon red, hence the name Mellie. She drove well, was easy on the gas and she had a CD player. What more could a girl want?

I was a bit apprehensive for my first day at Forks High. I knew I would be a hot topic. Alice and Rose prepared me for that. I had never done well with tons of attention on me. It tended to bring out my inner klutz. The girls tried to get me to look at the positive side, no one knew me, and so I could be whomever I wanted. Trouble was I hardly knew how to be me.

I was saved from my internal panic as Alice and Rose came up to greet me.

"Ready?" asked Rose. She saw my panic. "It's going to be fine. You have us and we won't let you fail."

I gave her a tentative nod as the three of us linked arms. "I need to stop by the office to pick up my schedule."

Together we walked into the office where we were greeted by the receptionist, Mrs. Cope. She fawned all over me as the Chief's daughter, forgetting that she was supposed to be looking for my schedule. When Rose reminded her of what we wanted, she fluttered some more before she returned with it, my locker location and combination. Alice waved off the map of the school and said that they would help me get to my classes.

As soon as we were out of the office, they ripped my schedule out of my hands.

"Hey, would you two bitches at least let me look first?" I demanded.

"Why?" asked Rose, "It's not as if you would know if anything was good or bad. You don't know the teachers or if you have any classes with us."

I hated it when she used logic on me. "Well can you at least bring it down so we vertically challenged folks can look at it with you? You can give me an hour by hour commentary."

That seemed to appease her. She looked around and spotted a bench, "Let's go over there."

Without giving us time to agree, she strode purposefully over to the bench. Alice sat on one side and me on the other and she placed the schedule on her lap between us.

"Well, this isn't too bad. You have me for one class, Alice for another and then one with the boys, plus lunch. Pretty awesome," exclaims Rose. I was not sure why she was pleased I shared a class with Emmett and Jasper, I barely knew them.

My first day passed by in a blur and I found myself sitting in my room with my history book on my lap.

Forks was so different than Jacksonville and my old high school. There I was but one person in a sea of endless faces. But here, I was known, hell I was expected. The news that the Chief's daughter would be coming to their little school was cause for excitement.

It didn't bother me, but I didn't see the news in it all. Here everyone knew everyone else and all of their business. At times I felt as if I was in a fishbowl. Without Rose and Alice to help me navigate my way, I swear I would have hid. It was all too surreal for me.

The second day was better and worse. Better in that I knew where I was going, my locker worked each time I tried to open it and I started to like Emmett and Jasper. Once I got used to them. They were like polar opposites in the extreme. Whereas Emmett was all energy and fire, Jasper was a cool breath of air and calm. Emmett treated me like his kid sister and Jasper treated me like a friend he's known forever.

The worse part came in the form of Mike, Tyler and Eric or what I called them, the puppy pack. It seemed where ever I was; at least one of them was there. They had offered to carry my books as if we are in the 1950's. They accompanied me to my classes, even if they didn't share them with me. As I waited in the lunch line, Mike offered to carry my tray to my table. I quirked an unseen eyebrow at him. Did he think my arms did not work?

I tried to be nice and let them down easy over the next few days. That didn't seem to help. So then I figured if they were offering, why not take advantage of it? So I let them carry my books or walk me to class. Hell, for an entire week I didn't have to pay for lunch. But that just seemed to make them needier.

I was frustrated with the puppy pack, so one day I vented to both Rose and Alice when we were having a sleep over at Alice's for my birthday. Pizza boxes littered her floor as well as two liters of pop and numerous bags of chips.

"They are driving me up a wall. You guys have to help me!" I may have whined a little bit.

They both laughed as they looked at me. I had no idea what they found funny.

"Why are they doing this? I don't get it." I flopped back on Alice's queen bed, my eyes closed. Maybe if I just ignored them, they would leave me alone?

I felt Rose and Alice sit on the bed next to me.

"Girl, they are boys and you're a good looking single girl. They want what every guy their age wants, to get into your pants." Rose said that with such calm and nonchalance, but I was flabbergasted.

"But…but…ewww…no! I don't want that. I don't even like them." This made no sense! "Why? What did I do to make them act this way?" I looked from Rose to Alice and again. The smiles on their face aggravated me.

"Um, hunny, they are horny boys and you are a new girl in a pool of girls that don't get fresh meat often. You showed them attention and they are going to clamor around you until you make it clear that you're not interested." I looked at Alice as she was talking and wondered if she was even listening to herself.

"That's just wrong on so many levels. So you're telling me that by carrying my books and doing all that other shit that they think they have a chance to have… to…" I couldn't even think the words much less say them out loud. "They think I am gonna have…sex with them?" I whispered. I was sure the horror was written all over my face.

"They may not be thinking those exact words, but they hope that they will get the chance eventually." The smirk on Rose's face infuriated me. I wanted to smack her silly.

I was shaking my head vigorously, "Nope… no way… not gonna happen." I started to pace the confines of Alice's room. "I mean, that is just wrong and gross. They don't even know me! They act like lap dogs and they are just…ugh!" I whirled on my best friends. "You have to tell me how to make them stop." I fell to my knees, "Please!" I wasn't above begging.

I wasn't sure if it was the pleading look in my eyes, or the fact that the idea of sex with any of them repulsed me so thoroughly, but they both took pity on me and they nodded their consent. The rest of the night we forgot about my lap dogs and focused on just having fun.

We stuffed our faces full of pizza and chips. We danced to music. I even let Alice play with my hair and face. We watched Vampire Diaries and I puzzled over how they swooned over the Salvatore brothers. Alice's mom had gotten me an ice cream cake and we each had two pieces before we felt ready to explode.

They piled my lap with gifts and midway through them we heard noise from outside Alice's bedroom window. When we looked, there was both Emmett and Jasper lounging in the tree outside her window. I screamed in fright, Alice and Rose screamed in delight. They both scrambled to the window, excited to let the objects of their desire into the room.

When the window was wrenched open, I watched as my two best friends transformed before my eyes. Alice went from a ball of pure raw energy to shy and demure. She blushed and stammered each time Jasper looked or talked at her. She was nervous and weird. All because of a boy she liked.

Rose went from tough as nails to coy and flirty. She touched Emmett more than I touch myself when I shower. She bantered and complimented him for the dumbest shit. When the boys dug into our leftover food, they watched with gleeful gazes. It baffled me, but even as bad as my friends actions were, the boys were no better.

Emmett hung on every word Rose uttered. He smiled so wide I thought his face was stuck. He laughed so loud that I was sure Alice's parents would come busting in the room. Jasper made sure to stick by Alice's side like glue. She moved, he moved. If the stars in his eyes were anymore evident, they would light up the entire town.

It was obvious to me that they liked the girls just as much as I knew the girls liked them. So if it was so fucking obvious to me, why not to them? But even more than that, why didn't any of them say anything? It was maddening trying to figure out. But more than that, it seemed incredibly stupid. If I ever got this bad, I hoped that someone would smack some sense into me.

Eventually, they remembered I was in the room and that this was supposed to be a celebration of my birthday. They four of them encouraged me to open my gifts. From Rose I got a rather cool vintage Beatles t-shirt and a brand new pair of black Vans. Alice found a cool silver necklace with a bunch of funky charms on it. She even found an awesome pair of jeans. They were a bit too tight for me, but I loved them. Jasper gave me an iTunes gift card and Emmett gave me a cool pair of fuzzy dice for Mellie.

It was a pretty good birthday, until I got home the next day.

I was unpacking my bag, putting things where they belonged when I spied a wrapped package at the bottom. The tag read that it was from both Alice and Rose. I put it back in the bag and threw in a load of clothes in the washer.

Back up in my room, I tossed the package on the bed and put my bag back up on the shelf in my closet. Like a kid I shook the box and when I heard nothing rattling, I looked at it puzzled. Why didn't they give this to me yesterday? I made a move to call one of them, when I just decided I would open it up and then call them.

I tore into the paper with reckless abandon; I mean who doesn't like to open presents. When the last of the paper was ripped off I flipped over the rather nondescript box and then just as quickly, threw it on my bed. I scampered off to the other side of my room. What the fuck?

There face up on the middle of my bed was a bright pink vibrator.

I'm going to kill them both!

When Monday rolled around, I had forgotten about the pink monstrosity. I buried it in the back of my bedside table. If I could lock that drawer I would have. Either way, I wasn't going to open the drawer again, nor would I even think of opening up the box that their cruel little joke resided in. Somehow I would find a way to get that thing out of my house.

I was about to demand that Alice and Rose come over and remove it themselves, but the boys were hanging around when I pulled into the school lot. There was no way I was going to talk about that thing with them anywhere in the vicinity.

"Oh, she arrives, finally. I thought we told you to get here early to put the plan into motion."

I blankly stared at Rose; I had no idea what she was babbling about.

"Plan?" I ask.

Alice laughs, "How did you forget the plan to get rid of the puppy pack?"

Oh…the plan! It seemed weeks ago that we talked about it instead of the two days that it was. My little surprise gift must have addled my brains. I was sure my face registered my regained memories as Jasper and Emmett both slid next to me.

"Ready Bellie?" His face split into a warm smile. It really was kind of him and Jasper to act as my muscle.

I nodded and Jasper spoke, "Remember one of us will walk you to your classes. Hopefully, by the end of the day the puppy pack will be no more."

The plan was rather simple. Emmett and Jasper would nicely tell the puppies that I was no longer in need of their attentions. I offered to refund the money they spent on me for lunch so I wouldn't be beholden to them. The girls quickly shot down that idea saying it was their loss. I wasn't too sure, but I deferred to their opinions on the matter. They were more adept at dealing with this whole horny boy thing.

The four of them surrounded me on our way to my first period class. The puppies tried to get close, but I ignored them and let the others deal with them. I breathed a sigh of relief when the door to the class closed and the teacher began to speak.

Emmett was waiting for me at the end of class, when Mike came up to talk to me; he put his arms around Mike and clapped on his shoulder hard. I watched as Mike swayed with the effort to stay upright.

"Mikey, my boy," boomed Emmett, "Bella has enjoyed your company, but feels it would be better if you stepped back." He spun Mike so that they were face to face. "You understand me?" If I didn't know how much of a teddy bear Emmett really was, the menacing glare he gave Mike would have had me shitting in my pants.

Mike nodded mutely and then scampered off. Emmett laughed at his retreating form.

"They will still try over the next few days, but by the end of the week, they will have gotten the hint." He winked at me as he opened the door to my second period class.

Jasper was a bit subtler in dealing with them, he appealed to their sense of respecting a lady and knowing that enough meant enough.

"You know that no means no right, Eric? I mean, you would never disrespect a lady who tells you no right?" Eric shook his head vigorously before Jasper pushed him away.

On Wednesday when Emmett walked me to the lunchroom, I finally got the nerve to ask him what had been weighing on my mind.

"Em, you know Rose likes you, right?" I looked right at him, watching his reactions.

"Yeah, she does?" His eyes had this strange light in them, as if I had just told him that he won the lottery. "Seriously?" The hope that emanated from him was blinding.

I huffed in confusion. "Of course," I stated exasperated. "It's pretty obvious that you both like each other. What I don't understand is why you don't tell her or she tells you."

He pulled me off to the side of the hallway to stand in the shadow of the stairs.

"Did she tell you to tell me this?" His face was serious, too serious.

"Um, no? I'm serious, I don't get it." I wanted to stomp my foot with impatience. Is he really trying to tell me that he had no clue?

"I don't know," he finally said, letting out a deep breath. "I guess neither of us wants to make the first move or something like that." He shrugged his shoulders.

"Well that seems stupid. If you like her and she likes you, what is the big deal?" I looked at him and hoped he would have an answer that would make this whole ridiculous thing make sense.

He could only stare at me in open mouthed astonishment. Well, he was a big help.

I rolled my eyes and stalked to the lunch room. By the end of the day they were a couple. Everyone seemed so happy and excited for them. I thought they were all making a big to-do about nothing. All I could think was that it was about time they became a couple.

By the second day that Rose and Emmett were together, I wanted to hurl. Never had I seen so much PDA, it was disgusting. I saw more of Emmett's tongue than I ever wanted. But I was the only one who was sickened by their little love fest. Everyone else treated it as if it was perfectly normal for them to be hoovering each other's face off.

I asked Alice a few days after they got together if it made her want to get together with Jasper. She looked at me and actually blushed.

"What do you mean?" She stammered. Did she really think I was an idiot?

"Oh come on Alice, I know you have a thing for Jasper. It's so obvious. Why don't you just tell him you like him?"

She looked at me as if I had suddenly grown two heads and spewed toxic vomit. Then she fucking shrugged.

"I don't know. I don't want to make the first move." She focused intently on a spot on the floor.

Was she serious?

"You know, that is so insane. I told Emmett when he said the same thing when I asked why he didn't tell Rose he liked her." I threw my hands up in exasperation.

"What did you say you did, Bella?" The look of horror on Alice's face had me cringing.

"I-I said that I told Emmett that Rose l-liked h-him?" It came out like a question because I was suddenly terrified of this pixie and worried she meant to do me bodily harm.

"Bella!" she shrieked and I covered my ears. "You don't do that unless Rose tells you to! Don't you know about the girl code?" The look of pure outrage on her face gave way to fear. "OMG, what if Rose finds out? She will be furious with you!"

"Me? Me? Why? She ended up with him. If anything she should thank me for finally helping them get their heads out of their asses. There is no reason for her to be angry at me!" I was fuming at the implication that I had done something wrong.

Alice crumbled to the floor of her room shaking her head. "Bella, Bella. That is not how it works. As her friend, you should never go behind her back and tell the guy she likes that she does. Not unless she tells you to."

She was talking to me as if I was a child and it seriously pissed me off.

"I didn't do anything wrong, Alice." I was whining and I hated it. I wasn't a whiner. "They are together. I did what they wouldn't or couldn't or whatever."

"You were lucky it turned out okay. What if he didn't like her?" She arched a perfectly manicured eyebrow at me and I had the urge to bitch slap her.

"But it was Emmett! We all knew that he liked her. It was beyond obvious." I looked at her, begging her to say I was wrong when we both knew I wasn't.

"That's not the point! The point is that you broke girl code and that could spell disaster. We just have to hope that she doesn't find out." She paused when she saw how perplexed I was.

She wrapped her arms around me, "Bella, you are going to have to trust me. What you did could have turned out horribly. Luck for you, it didn't." She put a finger to my lips to silence any protest that I was about to make.

"There is a code, you defend and protect your girlfriends. You stand by them and you never tell a guy that she likes him. It's just a no-no, a big one. Trust me."

It all seemed pretty stupid. Why did there need to be all these rules and codes? Were relationships just one huge game?

Lenny Kravitz: American Woman

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come hanging around my door
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman, stay away
American woman, listen what I say

I was thankful for the start of the school year. It was going to be a pivotal one for me. There was a lot riding on it. We had lost six seniors to graduation and therefore we had a younger squad as there would only be three seniors this year.

Coach made me an assistant captain and put me in charge of the freshman wannabes. That was fine by me. I saw the stares and heard the murmurs from everyone. They knew that something had happened to Bree and I. They knew that it was bad. They all wanted the story and they weren't going to get it.

So instead of going to lunch, I spent time with the freshman recruits. We went over their strength training regimen. I monitored their work outs as well. They all looked scrawny to me. Did I ever look that skinny? I looked at the nice six-pack that hockey camp had given me. I saw how the freshman admired it.

I talked to them about working hard and all that shit. We ran land drills that would help them with balance and coordination. We did stick and passing drills with tennis balls in the basement. I worked them hard and furious. We had something to prove this year. We didn't even make the playoffs last year and I was determined to make them this year.

Coach was amazed by how hard I was working them and commented on the progress they were making. I took it in stride. If we could gel as a team, it could mean good things. I knew that some college scouts may come check me and a few guys out. I had no delusions that I was NHL material, but I was gonna bust my ass to at least get noticed by at least some colleges.

My classes were pretty routine and nothing too strenuous. I was lucky that I had Emmett and Jasper in one of my classes. They kept things interesting to say the least.

What I didn't like were the hordes of girl clamoring around me. Now that I was single, it was declared open season on me and I fucking hated it. I was in no place to be dating another girl. Bree's betrayal was too fresh on my mind. But these hockey whores had a hard time staying off me.

Emmett laughed at my predicament when I complained to him one day.

"Dude, you could tap any of those asses with just a crook of your finger." He waggled his eyebrows and I threw a pillow at him.

We were in his basement and we were playing Halo with Jasper. We were beating up on a bunch of pussies from Seattle.

"Dude, I am not into random fuck buddies. They are always more trouble than they are worth." I gave him a pointed look. He knew what I was referring to.

Last summer Em was at a football camp and it was just his luck that it was also hosting a cheer camp. Em got the brilliant idea to fuck his way through some of the squads. Unfortunately, the second girl he fucked became this uber creepy, stalker like girl. She went ape shit when she saw he was trying to flirt with another girl. A massive cat fight broke out and creepy chick busted the other chick's nose.

It scared Emmett, especially when she tracked him down at his house. She called him at all hours of the day; she sent him letters and packages every day and even started to plan their wedding. His parents found out, they ended up getting a restraining order on her. Turned out she was bi-polar and off her meds.

Scared Em off pussy for several months.

Nope, there was no way I was gonna be some random whore and fuck anything with legs. That just wasn't me. I needed to feel a connection with whomever I fucked. Call it old fashioned or out dated, but, it was me.

But right now, my only focus was school and hockey. There was just no place for a girl. The holes Bree carved out needed to heal and that was going to take a while.
