Hey everybody! Thanks for all your support! I got such a great reaction to this story! So… uhm… thanks! Enjoy the chapter! Also, I've had several of my friends ask if Edward is still a vampire and the answer is no. I thought I mentioned that this story was all human but apparently I didn't. My bad!

Ch.3: Edwards a Reject!?

EPOV

Jasper just walked in and plopped down on my sofa after dropping Alice off. "So what's up?" I asked casually.

"Oh… not much. Just dropped Alice off at Bella's house. Just the usual." He shrugged. My interest perked when he mentioned 'Bella'. Maybe it was my Bella?

"Wait, Jazz. 'Bella' as in 'Bella Swan'?" I questioned, my eagerness showing in my eyes. Jasper looked confused and gave me a 'what the heck' look. But, I didn't care. It could be my Bella. Since when did I refer to her as 'mine'? It's not like she's an object. I can't own her. My parents taught me more respect for women than that.

"Uh… yeah." Jasper said, unsure of my response to this. "She's a good friend of ours. How do you know her?" He asked.

Wait! He knows her? And he never introduced us? How could he? "You know her!?" I practically screamed at him. I think I was acting psychotic judging by the look on Jasper's face. I was on my feet now staring at him with wild eyes.

Sigh…. Waiting is so boring. I thought as I repositioned myself more comfortably on the brick wall outside the double doors to the school. I just couldn't wait to see her. BANG! I practically jumped out of my skin! Well that woke me up. I said to myself sarcastically.

Then I spotted her. My angel… she stepped out of a ridiculously old red Chevy. A classic, it suited her somehow. When she saw me waiting by the front doors her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. This made me chuckle to myself as I shrugged off the wall and sauntered over to her, it looked like she stopped breathing when I smiled at her. She averted her eyes and looked down, scowling.

This shocked me; didn't she feel the connection too? Was I imagining that when I looked into her chocolate brown eyes, I saw my feelings reflected back at me? Oh well… here goes nothing I told myself as I matched her stride and began walking with her.

"Good morning Bella. How are you today?" I asked politely looking up at the overcast clouds as I spoke.

" If this is about apologizing for yesterday you don't have to. Hanging out with the 'freak' isn't exactly good for people's reputation. I'd hate for the captain of the soccer team to risk his popularity to be a genttalman. Not like anyone else in this freaking school is." She said to me, partly sarcastic when it came to her talking about my reputation. How could she think that I was just faking this?

"Bella," I said looking over at her, a crease forming in between my brows, " I'm not doing this as an apology, although I am sorry, but I'm doing this because I want to. Anyways, I couldn't care less about my reputation… Popularity is overrated." I scoffed. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously and she seemed to be debating with herself.

"All right. I give up. What's the punch-line?" She inquired, still looking incredulous. How could she not believe that I was sincere about this?

"There's no punch-line Bella. This isn't a joke." I said, no hint of humor in my eyes or voice.

"Then what the heck is it?!" she was livid. " Did you lose a bet? Is this some sort of charity? Some hidden camera show? What!? No one person is this nice! You just want to make fun of me like everyone else!" tears were streaming down her face and she was yelling. We were now standing just outside the red double doors leading into the school. She looked so helpless it made my heart ache.

I reached out to wipe her tears away and she slapped my hand away. She scrunched her eyes up and yelled one last thing that absolutely shattered my heart beyond recognition.

"I HATE YOU EDWARD CULLEN!" She screamed at me and ran off sobbing. I froze with my hand still outstretched.
