A/N: So here's the next new chapter, it's the first from Bella's point of view, and well if I do say so myself I think some parts are amusing, read and you shall find them!!
Disclaimer: I still do not own them, just the twist on an existing plot line.
BPOV
Another day of school, which in turn means another day of Mike practically begging for a date with me, hopefully I can avoid him, and having to deal with the obnoxious prick that is Edward Cullen. Seriously what do all the girls at this school see in him? Sure I suppose he can be deemed good looking even I can admit that, with his green eyes and bronze hair, but please he is such a jerk! He is all looks, no substance though, exactly the same as every other cookie cutter jock in this school. At least the sun is shining for once, I had noticed this morning. With a sigh I pulled my keys out of the ignition of my red truck. As I reached over to grab my bag from the seat next to me I heard my door open, knowing who it was without turning I laughed and greeted her, "Hey Alice, how are you today?"
"I'm great Bella, how did you know it was me?" At that I turned and shot her a look, raising one eyebrow, hoping she would get my meaning.
"Oh yeah...because I'm the only one that ever runs over and opens your door before you even get out." She said thoughtfully, allowing a quick smile to grace her face. Chuckling to myself I jumped out of my truck and managing to not fall over, locked the door and swung my bag over my right shoulder. As soon as I stood in front of Alice I felt her gaze slide over my ensemble, I sighed knowing what was coming.
"Bella, I really think you need my assistance in your wardrobe choices." she said, with an impatient wave up and down the length of my body.
"Hey, it took me all of ten minutes to decide what to wear today. Plus not all of us can look like they just walked off a catwalk." I replied indignantly, but with a smile glancing at Alice's own outfit. I didn't think I looked that bad; I was wearing a blue vintage Ramones t-shirt, blue jeans, and my blue and white converse. At least I was colour coordinated for once. This seemed to be what Alice was thinking, because as I finished my statement she began her tirade.
"Well it shows Bella, but I suppose that the one bright side is that you at least managed to actually colour coordinate for once. But come on, if you just allowed me to take you shopping you could be gorgeous. I mean you have a figure most girls would die for and yet you hide it beneath clothing that my gran wouldn't even be seen in..." she started, knowing there was more to come I decided it was best to interrupt before she continued.
"Ali, you say that everyday and everyday I give you the same response. Look we had better get moving we only have a few minutes to get to class before the bell goes." with that I began walking off towards my English class. I heard Alice running up behind me, and I turned my head and smiled at her knowing she would try again tomorrow, she returned the smile accompanied by a rather knowing look. Huh, wonder what's going on in her head. We had just reached the steps which led up to the school building when I heard doors slamming behind me, and his voice shouting up at me.
"Hey Swan, did you dress in the dark, because no-one dresses like that any more? I mean can you say Smurfette?" I heard his annoying bark of laughter behind me and could feel Alice seething beside me, but I just smiled to myself. Without vocalising my thoughts which was hard when he was around, I stopped at the top of the stairs turned around and gave him the finger. Alice turned with me, and looked at Jasper who was leaning against his silver Mercedes, which she had informed was a new CL class, not that I knew what it meant. It appeared that Jasper wasn't going to get involved, he just looked at Alice and smiled, causing her to blush and turn away. I had just turned away myself when the girl I hadn't noticed with Edward decided she just had to be involved.
"You are like so mature Bella. How exactly does giving the finger work exactly? I mean is it meant to like offend or hurt someone?" I took a deep breath and turned back to be sure that the voice I heard did in fact match who was talking. Letting out the breath I held I saw that yes it was Lauren Mallory, not like I really needed much confirmation.
"Lauren, when you increase your vocabulary and IQ to be able to come up with original insults and the like you may address me, but until that time, keep your fucking thoughts to yourself." I shouted back and turned to see Alice barely repressing a laugh. I smiled at her and grabbed her arm just above her elbow and dragged her off towards our English lesson. Once we were out of ear shot within the building we both burst out laughing gaining odd looks from the people around us who were all rushing towards class. I could understand the looks after all we were in school, but I was sure if they knew why we were laughing they would join in.
Me and Alice arrived at our English room just as the bell was ringing, which considering the incident with Cullen was very lucky. Once we had taken our seats and Mrs Harper began talking us through Pride and Prejudice, I zoned out because I had read the book about a dozen times if not more. I was just replaying the scene outside when I felt a knock against my elbow and saw a note slide in front of me. I looked down to read it trying not to get caught, it was from Alice which I already knew.
That was so funny out there, I can imagine her face when you said what you did.
I turned and smiled at her, lifting up one shoulder as if to say what can you do. I turned to the paper and wrote a note back in return.
It was good, there was an amazingly accurate impression of a goldfish. She will get me back later on. We both know it.
I pushed it back to her, when Mrs Harper turned to the board to write down the themes present within Pride and Prejudice, which in my mind were kind of obvious. Love, hate, longing, misconception, pride, prejudice, arrogance, sisterly affection, class distinctions, social interaction, forgiveness and to a certain extent honesty, I mean without all of these it would not be one of the greatest novels ever written would it. With a shake of my head I proceeded to copy down what was written on the board whilst awaiting Alice's reply. Five minutes later I heard a slight cough as the note was pushed in front of me again, I glanced away from my notes to see what Alice had written.
True, but she's not exactly creative. I mean its always the same isn't it, and you can handle that.
I nodded without turning to face Alice and out of the corner of my eye I saw her smirk, we both knew Lauren's revenge would consist of taunts in PE at the end of the day, with the possibility of some during lunch.
When are you going to pluck up the courage to speak to Jasper anyway, I saw the way he was looking at you. I wrote pushing the note back to her. In less than two minutes the piece of paper was back in front of me with her reply hastily written on it.
Well that is dependent on something I need to speak to you about at lunch. But definitely before he graduates lol. I chuckled upon reading this, Alice and Jasper had been doing the same dance for the past year, she was too nervous to speak to him, and from what I could gather he was too shy to speak to her considering he was her brothers best friend.
How does anything to do with me pertain to you and Jasper may I inquire?
Like I already said Bella, I will speak to you during lunch and not before :) was sent back in answer to my enquiry. I spent the next half an hour trying to get it out of her to no avail. When she wanted to that girl could really keep quiet about something. When the bell rang I walked out of English and prepared to ask Alice out loud, but she just hugged me and danced off to her physics lesson with barely a see you at lunch. With a sigh I headed off towards my trig lesson, which I hated because well maths isn't my strong point, but at least Angela was in this class with me.
The rest of my morning had passed in relative obscurity, apart from one incident where I lost my balance whilst rushing to my locker to pick up my French book. I walked into the cafeteria and joined the queue to get something to eat, once I had picked up a salad, an apple and bottle of water I looked around for Alice. Not spotting her at our usual table with Angela, her boyfriend Ben and Mike, I became confused. I really didn't want to sit there 'alone' and be hassled by Mike for my entire lunch hour, I shivered at the thought. It was at that moment my cell phone decided to chime announcing a text message, pulling it out of my pocket I read the message from Alice, we are outside come now!! Xxx
Being careful not to trip I headed towards the doors which led outside, sliding my phone back into my pocket. I waved to Angela as I passed and she waved back with a smile that clearly said I know something you don't. It was at that point it hit me, if Angela and Ben were in here then who was Alice with? As I walked through the doors which led outside I looked around and spotted Alice sat at a table, deep in conversation with two other people I recognised instantly as Emmett Cullen and Rosalie Hale. I was shocked because although Emmett liked me, Rosalie well I'm sure she didn't hate me, she just isn't overly thrilled whenever I am around.
Once I reached the table I placed my tray down, dumped my bag on the floor and sat in the empty seat next to Alice. She turned at the sound and smiled. "Hey Bella, how was the rest of your morning?"
"Same old, yours?" I was beginning to get suspicious of the look on her face, combined with the identical smiles painted on Rosalie and Emmett's faces. Let's just say that Alice isn't exactly difficult to read, and I know she's up to something I just wish I knew what.
"Yanno." she said with a shrug.
"Okay I don't mean any offence to either of you two" I began with a nod towards Emmett and Rosalie, "but why are you sat with us?"
"Nice to see you too Bella. I am hurt that I can't come and sit with one of my favourite people without being questioned." Emmett replied, with a big hand over his heart. I genuinely liked Emmett, he was funny and kind. However until you got to know him all you saw was the fact that he was massive, pure muscle but he was built like a bear. He had kind hazel eyes, curly dark brown hair and an honest smile all the time.
"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings Em, I'm glad you graced my day with your presence. I have to be honest though that you only do so when you require something from me. That combined with the fact that Ali has already informed me that she needed to speak to me, makes me wonder what you want?" I replied opening my salad and spearing a tomato with the plastic fork.
"Bella, I admit you are right. We do need to talk to you about something." Rosalie said. I almost choked on the piece of cucumber I had just put in my mouth, as I tried thinking of a time when Rosalie had addressed me directly. Nope nothing, never happened before. She was one of these people that spoke only when necessary especially to unpopular people such as myself. Rosalie was for lack of a better word gorgeous, we are talking long blonde hair, bright blue eyes, brilliant smile, model body, hell model everything. I knew more than one person who thought themselves in love with her, but she only had eyes for Emmett even though they were opposites in a lot of things. What I understood from Alice is that, Rosalie was not a typical blonde she actually had a brain and used it to its fullest potential, whereas Emmett well he isn't the brightest crayon in the box. Gathering my composure I looked between the three of my companions waiting for one of them to speak, after five minutes with no-one speaking and uncomfortable, awkward looks at me I finally asked.
"Who's going to tell me what this is about?"
"Well, you remember last night when I phoned you?" Alice replied speaking to her tray, not meeting my gaze.
"Er yeah, you phoned because Edward had come home with a 'date'" I said, spitting his name and doing air quotations around the word date.
"After I spoke to you I came up with this idea." Alice replied sheepishly.
"She told us this morning and we agree that its a good idea, don't we Em?" Rosalie said, jabbing Emmett in the ribs when he continued eating his lunch.
Coughing down his bite he nodded his head before speaking, "yeah, see its a good idea but your the only one that can pull it off." he finished.
I was nervously picking at the remainder of my salad, worried about where this was going. After taking a few deep breaths I looked at the trio and let the questions I had spill out of my mouth. "What idea? What can only I do? Why can only I do it? What are you trying to get me involved in?"
"Bella chill, breath." Emmett responded calmly. I took a deep breath and waited for my questions to be answered. The three shared a look before Rosalie nodded resignedly and began to answer.
"The idea is to teach Edward a lesson." She said simply.
A/N: I apologise for where I left this chapter, but if I didn't it would be about 3,000 words longer if not more. Plus it means you will all get an updater sooner than you think.
Who thinks Bella will agree straight away, who thinks it will take longer?
