Chapter 3

It was a long day. I still hadn't Seen Jake after the fight with his friends.

I shouldn't be worried we barely knew each other but I did feel worried.

After the last class I went looking for him by myself without Alice or the others wouldn't understand.

I looked around the whole campus but nothing. I started looking outside and finally saw him heading down the street. I decided to follow. Technically I wasn't spying on him just wanted to no what he was up too. He was heading down a dark alleyway. I had to be really quiet otherwise he would see me. But he stopped dead taking deep breaths. I stepped forward not knowing that I just stood in a puddle. Great.

Jake turned around quickly. "Bella." He whispered angrily. Oops.

"What are you doing here? This isn't safe for you." Jake walked up too me.

"I was worried so I followed you." I said looking down. Jake groaned

"This isn't the time or place."

"But your friends they said." I broke off. Jake shock his head in disagreement

He looked behind him and grabbed my arm and pulled my out of the alleyway.

"I know…it's not your fault ok. I was sick of doing everything Paul wanted and getting the blame for it. If I got busted one more time I would get thrown out expelled." Now I understood the fight. "Oh..."

"What are you doing here?" I asked. "Nothing it doesn't matter let's go." I didn't ask any more questions about why he was here.

"I don't believe you came after me I didn't think you cared." Jake said smiling.

I could feel my cheeks burning. "I guess I thought you going to do something stupid so I followed and I considered you my friend." I said the truth no point lying I was a terrible liar. Jake smiled his huge smile that made me smile.

"You consider me your friend? That's a shock."

"How?" I was curious. "Bella I'm not a good friend for you. Don't get me wrong I want to be your friend too." Jake broke off looking the other way. I couldn't read his face.

We were out the front of the campus now. I was about to ask another question before I heard my name.

"What was that?" Jake asked. "Bella." Edward was in front of me now I was shocked. He seemed puffed out. The other followed behind.

"Bella where were you!" Alice asked. I could see Edward eyeing Jake. It didn't look friendly. I had no idea why either.

"I was hanging out with Jake." I said innocently hoping Alice wouldn't attack me.

"She was with the skater let's go Emmett." Rosalie said dragging Emmett the other direction.

"You were with him." Alice said raising her eyebrow. "Yes."

"I'm out." Jake whispered and skated off. "Why are you here Edward?" I was truly curious. "Alice dragged me out to help search." Alice glared at him.

Edward shrugged and walked off. "He's such a liar." Alice said chuckling.

We started walking back to the cafeteria. "What?" I asked.

"Edward. We were going a bit crazy trying to find you and Edward asked what we were doing. I told him we were looking for you and he became as crazy as us." Alice said. I laughed.

I was once again shocked. "Really Edward cared?" Alice was laughing at my expression. "Yep. It was weird for him to care about someone else's well being then himself."

We walked into the Cafeteria. I went to get a drink Edward was in the line.

"Hey Edward thanks." I said smiling. He did his crocked smile at me. "For what?" He asked back. "For caring." I said chuckling quietly to myself. I could see all the cheerleaders glaring at me I just smiled back.

I sat the usual table with Alice and just Jasper this time. They were having a moment when I sat down. So I coughed loudly. The both looked up in surprise and I laughed.

"Hello Bella." Jasper said politely. "Hey." I said back. I heard a lot of laughing coming from the cheerleader table. I looked over and the head cheerleader I think her name was Kristy was glaring at me. She had a lot of sheets in her hands. In the pit of my stomach I had a feeling they were about me. "Oh no." She got up and without taking her eyes off me. She started handing them out.

"What's up Bella?" Alice asked but before I could answer she was handed a sheet and she gasped. "Let me see." Alice tried to hide it but I snatched it.

The picture was of me but not my body it was a large girls body in a bikini with my head. I was holding a skateboard. Up the top read skater bitch in big bold letters. The whole Cafeteria was laughing. I could feel my eyes starting to water. But I quickly wiped them away I was so angry. I looked around Kristy high fived Paul. I saw Edward. He looked confused he was still in the line. He was in on it I bet. I glared at him. He finally got handed the picture. His eyes widened and he looked up. I was already up running. "Bella wait!" I heard from behind me but I was too far-gone too care. I was crying so much I couldn't see where I was going I ran into someone and they grabbed me I tried braking there hold.

"Bella it's me. Hey what's wrong?" It was Jake I just cried into his chest. He hugged me for a bit. Then looked down at the sheet in my hand. I was holding with a much force as possible. Jake unclenched my hand and looked at the sheet. He gasped. Then more tears started. Jake started rubbing my back.

"Who did this?" Jake asked furiously. I couldn't speak. "Wait…" Jake broke off going into thought I looked up. "W-what?" My voice broke. Jake released me and grabbed my hand we were heading back towards the cafeteria. "Jake no." I said sobbing. We were out the front of the cafeteria. "Wait here." Jake whispered. He walked toward the Cheerleaders and skaters tables, which were next to each other. They were all laughing but stopped when Jake slammed the sheet on the table. "You think this is funny!" Jake shouted. "We have no idea what you're talking about." Kristy and Paul both said trying to control their laughter. "Your both as sad as each other." Jake snapped at them then suddenly punched Paul in the face. Everyone went silent. "Jake you out! If I ever see you riding a skateboard again you're going down." Paul shouted furiously. Edward came up too me.

"Bella I didn't do it." Edward tried grabbing my hand but I pushed him away.

Jake came back over and put his arm around me. "Stay away from her!" He shouted in Edwards face. I looked back at Edward he looked furious.

We stopped in the field area and sat on a bench. Jake put both his hands on my face. He wiped the remaining tears away. "You ok?" I could only nod. I finally could control myself. "Thanks Jake." I whispered scared my voice may be croaky from the crying.

"Hey it's fine." Jake said rubbing my back. "You didn't have to do that." I said back.

"That's what friends are for right?" Jake said smiling then hugging me closer. I smiled back. "See now that's the face I like" I started laughing. Alice and the others were crossing the field. "I better go you alright now?" I smiled and nodded. "Thanks again." Jake walked off.

"Bella!" Alice ran up and hugged me. "Hey I went off at Edward. But he kept saying he didn't do it and that he didn't no." I really didn't care at the moment.

"It's fine." I said quietly. "Wow I don't believe that skater punching another one of his friends in the face. He must care about you. More then I thought." Alice said smirking. "We just friends Alice." I stated before she could say anymore. It was starting to get dark. "Hey you want to just have a movie night or something to get your mind off it?" Alice asked. "I guess." Alice jumped up and started clapping. "I'll get onto it." She grabbed my hand and we were off.
