Bella POV

Rosalie was scowling at me when she picked me up Monday for school. I looked at her questioningly. I hadn't said anything offensive lately. So it must be my clothes. I looked at them; they were fine. My hair was in a neat high pony-tail.

"What?" I finally asked her, and Alice giggled. Rosalie sniffed and walked away. "Was it something I said?" I asked Alice.

"You didn't tell her about Aiden," Alice explained. I had completely forgotten about that!

"Oh, Rose! I'm sorry," I apologized to her. I made my eyes really wide and stuck my bottom lip out a little. She rolled her eyes, but a tiny smile appeared on her lips.

"I forgive you-for now," she said. I squealed and hugged her.

"It's just-wow! Aiden Marshall!" she shrieked happily. I giggled and blushed.

"Thanks," I said looking down. We climbed into Rosalie's BMW, and she was driving us to school. It was one of those rare sunny days outside so she had her top up. She blasted the radio, and her favorite song came on.

"Apple bottom jeans!" Rosalie shouted.

"Boots with the fur!" Alice continued. I laughed.

"The whole club was looking at her!" I shouted.

Then we all screamed in unison, "She hit the flo, next thing you know shawty got-"

Rosalie said the first low, Alice said the second, and I said the third. It went like that until the end. When we got to school we were laughing really hard. We got out of the car, and I looked to see Mike Newton waving at me. I turned around to Alice and rolled my eyes.

"Go talk to your stalker, we'll catch up later," Rosalie dismissed. I narrowed my eyes at her, and walked over to him.

"Hey, Bella!" he said enthusiastically. I smiled back forcefully.

"Hey Mike, what's up?" I asked heading towards my first class.

"Well, I was wondering if you would reconsider going to the dance with me?" he asked. I couldn't believe him. Why does he keep asking me?

"Mike, I don't like you- " I started to say before he interrupted.

"But you could at least give me a chance," he whined. Someone put a hand on my shoulder. I turned around startled to see who it was. It was Aiden Marshall, and he was glaring at Mike with anger.

"I think she said it very clearly, Mike. She doesn't like you. Besides, she's going to the dance with me," he said. Mike nodded and scurried off. I smiled appreciatively at him.

"Thanks, he was annoying me," I said. He chuckled.

"No problem. So, what's up?" I asked him.

"Nothing much, just hanging out with you. Was that you screaming in the BMW this morning?" he asked. I blushed red and hid my face behind my hair like a shield. He brushed the hair out of my face causing me to blush even more.

"You have a cute blush," he said.

"Thanks," was all I managed to squeak out. He chuckled.

"I have to go, but I'll talk to you later. Do you want to sit by me at lunch?" he asked. His voice was weary, making me decide if I wanted to go or not. I didn't want to disappoint him so I agreed. He smiled widely and said farewell.

Rosalie and Alice were by my side in a minute. Rosalie was giggling, and Alice was frowning.

"He should know the no physical contact until the first date rule," Alice griped. Rosalie shot her an annoyed glance then continued to giggle.

"Oh, well. He's so cute! Not as cute as Emmett though," she said. I giggled myself.

"Or Jasper," Alice added. I rolled my eyes and went to class.

All of the classes went by too quickly. I didn't have enough time to think about what I was going to say to all of Aiden's friends. What would they think of me? Would I embarrass him?

"Hey," he greeted me, and I smiled at him. We walked into the cafeteria. Everyone started staring and whispering. I looked at the ground and pretended not to notice.

"So, are we sitting with your friends?" I asked. He looked down at me, and he smiled.

"No, we don't have to sit by them. We can sit by yours if you would like," he said. I smiled relieved.

"You don't mind?" I asked checking to see if he would care.

"Not at all, whatever makes you happy," he replied. I beamed; he was so nice. I walked over to my usual table where everyone at the table was looking at me. I broke the awkward silence by saying, "This is Aiden," to them. They all stopped staring.

"Hey, I'm Emmett," he said shaking his hand.

"Hey, Emmett. You should join the wrestling team," Aiden said. Emmett smiled proudly and flexed his muscles.

"I'm Alice, and this is Jasper," Alice introduced for Jasper. He waved at both of them.

"I'm Rosalie," Rosalie said smiling. He grinned at her, and turned toward Edward who was scrutinizing him.

"Edward," was all he said. They shook hands with more force than necessary. Emmett and Aiden immediately started talking about sports. Rosalie and Alice started whispering and giggling. I decided to talk to Jasper, but then he started talking about sports with Emmett and Aiden. I was left to talk with Edward.

"Hey, did you get Trig homework?" I asked him. I was trying to start small talk with him; he shrugged.

"Yes, I got it. Do you need help?" he asked, and I nodded. Trig was not my best class. I usually got a C in that class.

"That would be great," I said enthusiastically. I was glad Edward and me were friends again, so I was trying to be nice to him.

"So," he said, "why aren't you talking to Aiden?" he asked in a low voice. I was shocked by his question. It had that stinging edge like the other day. I tried to ignore it.

"I don't understand sports much. You know that," I said nonchalantly.

"Yes, I do," he said bitterly. I looked at the plate in front of me.

"Bella," Alice said. She motioned with her hands for me to sit by her.

"What?" I asked glad to get away from the awkward conversation with Edward.

"How's Aiden doing?" Alice asked innocently.

"Fine, why?" I asked suspiciously.

"Well," Rosalie said just as innocently as Alice, "maybe sometime he would invite us to sit by his senior friends."

"And the senior friends who go to the mall and know where I can get a good manicure," Alice added. I laughed, and rolled my eyes.

"If that's all you wanted to know, I'll ask him," I replied. They thanked me.

"Time for Biology," I announced after Alice and Rosalie talking about Aiden's hair. They said more things about hair than I could have thought possible. Rosalie approved saying he has 'great hygiene for a boy.'

He waved, and we went to our different classes.

This is my third chapter. Aiden and Bella don't know each other very well, so in my next chapter they will get to talk. Please review! (And the song at the beginning was Low by Flo Rida. I love that song!)
