Bella

When my alarm woke me up at seven thirty again on Tuesday morning, I followed the same routine as the previous day. I showered, did my hair, make up, and changed into my uniform.

I tried to change it up a bit today so I borrowed one of Jasper's ties and wore that along with a red beret and matching red Michael Antonio pumps. When I glanced at myself in the mirror, I was satisfied with my look.

I made sure to pack a gym bag so that I wouldn't have to borrow Tanya and Angela's things again. I packed gray cotton capris, a blue leopard sports bra, black converse, and a pull over v-neck sweater.

By the time I was finished with that, it was time to go. I didn't have time for breakfast so I hoped that I'd have a little extra time before class to grab a muffin from Starbucks.

Today, we didn't have to drive our younger siblings to school, so we took Jasper's car. Jasper's Koenigsegg CCX is his one and only love. If you scratched his car, he'd most likely claw your eyes out, which is why he rarely uses it. Therefore, you can imagine my surprise when I found him waiting in the driveway in his precious car.

I didn't question it though. He was most likely taking his car to impress the girls, and a few of his guy friends.

"Do you think you can find a ride home after school?" Jasper asked, breaking me from my thoughts.

I shrugged, "Probably, why?"

"I'm taking Irina out after school,"

"Who's Irina?" I asked.

"Apparently, Tanya Denali's older sister," he said. "She's an older, hotter version, of her younger sister. Not that Tanya isn't sexy as hell because she is,"

I rolled my eyes, "And when did you decide to take her out?"

"Last night," he said.

"Why?"

Jasper frowned, "What do you mean why?"

"Why are you going out with her?"

"Do you not approve?" he asked.

"I don't even know who you're talking about," I said. "I'm just wondering what the rush is? We've been here a day and a half and you've already got a steady piece of ass on the side?"

"Are you jealous that I'm going to get some and you aren't?" Jasper asked, smirking.

"Yes, Jasper," I said, sarcastically. "That's exactly right. I'm so jealous,"

He laughed, "There really isn't a rush. I just really like Irina. She's fun, beautiful, she loves cars, and she isn't afraid to get down and dirty,"

I scrunched up my nose.

"Not like that," Jasper laughed. "Okay, I meant it that way a bit too. We hooked up in the bathroom and she..."

"And this is where I stop listening," I groaned. "I don't want to hear who you do or where you do it. Just keep it to yourself, okay?"

"Fair enough,"

Once Jasper parked the car, he made sure that it was far away from everyone else's, we went our separate ways. He went to hang with his newly made friends while I went to hang with mine.

"Good Morning, Bella," Angela greeted.

"Good Morning, Angela,"

"How was your night?" she wondered as we made our way into the building.

"Pretty good," I said. "How was yours?"

"Same," she said. "I spent most of my night reading in my bedroom."

"Sounds fun," I said. "I probably would've done that as well but my sister wanted to watch a movie. Well, no actually, she wanted to keep looking through pictures of Edward,"

"I bet." Angela laughed. "What were you doing looking at pictures of Edward?"

I blushed, "I was on Facebook and we were chatting."

"You like him!" she accused with wide eyes.

"No! Well, a little," I admitted with a sigh. "But he's with Tanya. So, don't worry. I won't do anything,"

"Honestly, that wouldn't stop any of the girls here," Ang snickered. "They all want Edward and would gladly be the other woman if he would give them the time of day but Edward's not like that. He doesn't play around. He is a flirt but he would never do something while he's with someone. He's a gentleman,"

"I will not be tempted by him." I vowed.

Who was I kidding? He already tempted me. The only thing keeping me from jumping him is the fact that he has a girlfriend.

"Good," she laughed. "There are plenty of other guys who would love to go out with you."

I smiled, "What about you? Who do you have your eye on?"

She blushed, "No one."

"Oh, come on, tell me," I pouted. "Please,"

She sighed, "I don't think you've met him but his name is...Hey, Ben!"

"Hey, Angela," A brown haired, blue eyed, boy grinned. "And you're Isabella Cullen, right?"

"Bella," I corrected.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Bella," he said, shaking my hand. "I'm Ben Cheney,"

"Nice to meet you,"

"So, Angela, I was wondering if you could help me with something,"

"Yeah, sure,"

I glanced at Angela with a smile. It was blatantly obvious that she had a major crush on Ben.

"I haven't eaten breakfast," I said, glancing back and forth between the two of them. "So, I'm going to see if I can get a muffin or something from Starbucks,"

"Oh, I'll come..." Angela said, snapping out of her Ben induced high.

"No, No," I pushed her towards Ben. "You two talk. It was lovely meeting you again, Ben,"

"You too, Bella," he said, not taking his eyes of Angela.

I smiled and left the two of them to talk. I could see that they both liked each other very much but I could also see that they were oblivious to each other's feelings. I'd have to see what I could do to help them get together.

They'd make a cute couple.

"I've been looking for you," Edward smiled, pushing off his locker.

"Oh, hey," I smiled back. "What's up?"

"Nothing much," he said.

I nodded, "Where's Tanya?"

"Somewhere," he shrugged.

"And because you can't find her, you decided to follow me around?" I teased.

"You caught me," he laughed. "If I was really looking for her, you'd be the person to stick around. She has a built in Bella Cullen radar so I'm sure she'd come to you eventually,"

I laughed, "That's nice to know."

"So, I hear you plan to go to Newton's party,"

"Yeah," I said. "Are you going?"

"Of course," Edward said. "The Newton's throw the best parties in town."

"I look forward to seeing that for myself," I said as we stopped at the Starbucks.

"And how are you getting to the party?" he wondered.

"I'm carpooling with Tanya," I said. "How about you?"

"I'm going with Rose and Alice,"

I nodded and ordered my breakfast.

"Morning, Bella," Rose smiled. "You look cute."

"Thank you," I grinned. "So do you. I love your shoes,"

"Thank you! I just got these as a gift from my dad," she beamed. "They're from Sergio Rossi,"

"I've seen better," Tanya sneered. "Those shoes are so last season, Hale,"

Rose rolled her eyes, "Whatever, Tanya."

Tanya just ignored her and wrapped herself around Edward. "Hey, Baby."

"Hey," Edward greeted.

"Hey, Bella," she greeted with a smile. "How are you this morning?"

"Good," I said. "How about you?"

"Fabulous,"

I nodded and took a bite of my muffin.

"I wouldn't eat that if I were you," Lauren said.

"Why?" I asked.

She took it from me, "This has a lot of calories in it. You don't want to get fat, do you?" she asked as she threw it away.

I sighed. No, I wasn't worried about getting fat. Not only did I have a fast metabolism but I also workout almost every day. But you know what, I'd rather be fat than count calories constantly and deny myself amazing food.

"Bella, I have to go," Rose said with a roll of her eyes. "If you aren't doing anything tonight you should come with Angela, Alice, and I to the mall. We're going shopping for party worthy outfits."

"Yeah, that'd be cool," I said. "What time are you going?"

"As soon as we change out of these lame outfits," she said.

"I'd love to go," I said. "Can I get a ride home afterschool so that I can change? My brother has a date,"

"Sure, no problem," Rose said.

"You actually want to go with her?" Tanya asked, incredulously.

"I'll see you later, Bella," Rose sighed.

"Yeah, okay," I said. "Have a nice day,"

"You too," she called over her shoulder as she headed toward the stairs.

"Rose is just...ugh, I can't describe her," Tanya growled.

"I like her," I said. "And I like you," sort of. "Is it going to be a problem if I'm friends with both of you?" I wasn't going to stop my new friendship with Rosalie just because Tanya didn't like it. However, I would stop my friendship with Tanya if she demanded that I did.

"I don't see one," Edward said. "Right, Babe?"

Tanya sighed, "No, it's not a problem."

"Great," I said. "I'll see you in class."

"Later," Edward waved as I headed toward the stairs.

My morning flew by with little incident. I tried to pay attention but that was next to impossible when I was in the classes that Edward, and the rest of the jocks, were in. Edward was a big goof ball and when he wasn't joking around with me, he was joking around with Mike and Jacob. It wasn't until Mr. Varner gave them detention that they decided to shut up.

I received another big load of homework but since I chose to use my free hour to do homework, I was able to get it done. It was definitely a big plus that Angela and I had the same free hour. I struggled with Math but Angela excelled at it, so she helped me, and when she struggled with English, I helped her.

I spent lunch with Tanya and her crew today. I was hoping that I would be able to pretend I forgot and sit with Angela, Alice, and Rose again but I think Tanya knew I might do. So, when I left Spanish, I found Jessica and Lauren waiting for me.

"Hey, Bella," Lauren greeted, happily.

"Hey," I said.

"We thought you'd like to walk with us to the lunchroom," Jessica said, smiling.

"Yeah, sure," I said, grabbing Angela before she could make her escape. "Angela is joining us today too."

"Great,"

"You don't mind do you?" I asked Angela in a hushed whisper.

"No," she whispered back.

"Thanks,"

She nodded.

Lunch ended up being frustrating.

Tanya ignored me the whole hour, which I found weird. If she wants me to sit with her so bad, why ignore me? However, that wasn't what bothered me the most. It was Lauren. Every time I took a bite of my hamburger or fries, I received a disapproving look from her.

"Lauren," I sighed. "Look, I know you have the best of intentions by helping me keep track of my calorie intake but I honestly don't care."

"Really?" she asked, surprised.

I laughed, "Really."

"Don't you worry about getting fat?"

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, "Not really."

She exchanged a surprised glance with Jessica.

I sighed and continued eating my lunch. Lauren must be very conscious about her weight. She looked amazing but I knew that every girl had a day, or week, when they didn't feel beautiful or skinny enough.

"She's like that because of Tanya," Edward whispered in my ear.

"Did Tanya call her fat?" I asked, appalled.

"No, Tanya likes to monitor what she eats so she assigned that chore to Lauren. Lauren takes her job very seriously and make sure that she looks out for everyone. It's not just you, I promise. She does that with us too," I nodded. "If it makes you feel any better, I think you're gorgeous."

I blushed, "Thank you."

"You're welcome,"

I left lunch that day with a big smile on my face. I was crushing on Edward and that wasn't good but I couldn't help it. Edward was just too cute. Had he not been with Tanya, I would have jumped at the chance to ask him out but he was.

After lunch, it was time for gym. Instead of another game of badminton, we were told to go to the workout room and work out for the full hour. Most of the girls, minus Angela and I, chose to do yoga. It wasn't hard to guess why either. The boys loved it. While they worked out with the weights, or treadmills, they watched the girls.

Even Coach Clapp liked it. It didn't escape my notice that his eyes never strayed too far from them.

"He's checking out your girl, Masen," Mike said, punching Edward in the shoulder.

Edward just shrugged and pulled his shirt off. Let's just say, I almost fell off my treadmill.

"You're drooling, Bells," Angela laughed from beside me.

"Am not," I mumbled as I discreetly, or at least I hoped it was discreet, wiped my mouth.

"Hey, Bella, Angela," Edward greeted as he hoped up onto the treadmill to the left of me.

"Hey," we replied.

"You girls aren't interested in yoga?"

"Since when do I ever do yoga?" Angela asked, snorting. "I'd rather not have Coach Clapp eyeing the goods,"

"Ditto," I said.

"Plus, I'm not that flexible," Angela said. "I'd end up hurting myself."

Edward laughed.

"I'm very flexible," I said. "So, I can't agree with you there, Ang,"

Edward tripped

"Ha, walk much Masen?" Mike asked from the weight bench.

"Fuck off," Edward growled as he ran a hand through his messy bronze locks.

Angela shot me a smirk. To which I just gave her an innocent grin. I never said I wouldn't flirt with him.

"So, you're very flexible," Edward said, clearing his throat. "Were you a cheerleader at one of your old schools?"

"Nah, that's never been my thing," I said. "But my mom has always been very into yoga and taught me and my sister a few moves,"

"Nice,"

I laughed, "I guess. What about you? Don't you like yoga?"

"It's nice to watch," he said, glancing at the girls. "You should go join them."

I snorted, "No."

Edward pouted

I laughed, "You're such a dork."

"Oooh, burn, Masen," Mike laughed.

"And you're immature," Angela snorted.

"You know you love me, baby,"

Angela rolled her eyes, "Totally."

"Less talking, more working out," Coach Clapp instructed. I was honestly surprised that he had taking his eyes off Tanya long enough to even notice us.

I sighed and changed the speed of the treadmill.

"I'm going to go work on the elliptical," Angela said. "Are you coming?"

"No, I'm good," I said as I peeled off my sweater.

"Okay,"

The treadmill to the left of me didn't stay abandon long. Jacob Black took Angela's place within seconds.

"Hey, Bella,"

"Hi, Jacob,"

"Jake," he said.

"Jake," I said, smiling.

"How do you like Denali Academy?"

"It's great," I said. "I'm glad I moved here."

"So am I,"

"You are?" I asked, amused.

"Oh, yeah," he said. "It's not every day you get to meet a gorgeous girl."

Edward snorted.

"What?" I asked him.

"Nothing," he muttered, jumping off the treadmill.

"Ignore, Masen," Jake said. "He's just jealous."

"I don't know why,"

"Look at you," Jake said, gesturing to me. "You're gorgeous."

I smiled, "Thanks but so is Tanya."

"The thing about Tanya is that she's fake," Jake explained. "Everything you see, her Dad bought for her last year,"

"Really?" I asked, surprised.

"Yep," Jake confirmed. "And that's why I think you're prettier. You're real right?"

"Uh, yeah," I laughed.

"Nice," he said as his eyes traveled up and down my body.

"Pervert," I retorted.

"Hey, I was only checking the goods out," he said, smiling. "You should be honored."

"Oh, I'm so honored," I snorted.

"You have five minutes to get back to the gym and get changed," Coach Clapp announced.

I stopped the treadmill and grabbed my stuff.

"I hope I didn't offend you," Jake said as he caught up to me.

"You didn't," I said. "I don't get offended easily."

Jake grinned at me, "Good because most of the guys here are big horn dogs that say the first thing that crosses their minds,"

"And are you one of them?"

"Guilty,"

At least he's honest.

"So, listen, there's a party this Friday at Mike's house and I was wondering if you'd like to go with..."

"Great workout, huh?" Edward said, interrupting Jake.

"Go away, Edward,"

"What you don't want me here?" Edward asked, pouting. "Fine, I'll just talk to Bella. How are you doing, sugar?"

I rolled my eyes, "Just fine, boo,"

"Wasn't that a great workout?" Edward asked, throwing his arm over my shoulder.

"You smell," I pulled away. "And you're sweaty."

"So are you, baby,"

"Yeah but I don't smell like an outhouse," At least I hoped not.

"No, you still smell great,"

"Don't you have your own girlfriend to flirt with?" Jacob asked, annoyed. "Or is she ignoring you so that she can suck Coach Clapp's cock?"

"Fuck, man," Edward punched him in the shoulder. "Why the fuck would you say that? Are you jealous that no one is sucking yours?"

"Fuck you," Jacob pushed him back.

"No fighting," I said, stepping between them. "And no more mean comments,"

"He started it," Edward glared.

"I'm aware of that," I said. "Jake, be nice, please?"

Jake's glare wavered and he nodded.

"I'll see you later, love," Edward said.

"Later, babydoll," I teased.

Edward gave a nod to Jake before walking toward the boys lockerroom.

"I wanted to ask you something," Jake said. "But dickhead interrupted us."

"I thought you were best friends,"

"I'm starting to question that," Jake grumbled.

"Just ask me, Jake,"

"Would you like to..."

"Hey, Bells," Angela huffed.

"Oh for the love of God," Jake growled. "I'll talk to you later, Bella,"

"Okay, bye,"

"Sorry for interrupting," Angela said as we headed into the locker room. "But we were running out of time."

"It's fine," I said. "Jake will ask me out later."

"If Edward doesn't interrupt him again," Angela giggled.

"You heard that, huh?"

"Yep," Angela said. "I also heard the pet names that you two were giving each other. And that thing you did in gym. I thought you weren't going to be tempted by him,"

I laughed, "I wasn't, I'm not, but..." I trailed off when I noticed Tanya listening to us.

"He likes you too, ya know," Angela said. "I can t..."

"We were just joking around," I said, loudly. "Let's talk about this later. Tanya has heard most of what you said," I whispered.

"Oh shit," she glanced at Tanya. "Well, on the plus side you probably won't have to sit with her ever again."

I hesitantly looked at Tanya and saw an evil look gracing her once serene face.

I smiled a bit and she huffed and turned away.

"Great." I think it's safe to say that I have made my first enemy. "I should say something to her."

"Just let Edward talk to her," Angela said. "He'll smooth things over."

"Maybe,"

The rest of my classes went by without a hitch. It didn't escape my notice that Jessica and Victoria stayed away from me during the last two classes we had together. I had a feeling Tanya gave them the impression that I was trying to steal her man away from her.

I know Angela told me to let Edward talk to her first but maybe I could fix things myself. Therefore, when the final bell rang, I went in search of Tanya.

I found her by her locker.

"Hey, Tanya,"

"Hi," she muttered.

"Look about what you heard in gym," I said. "It was nothing. We were just joking around. I have no feelings for Edward, at all. So, you don't need to worry about me stealing him from you or anything like that."

She snorted, "You think someone like you can steal Edward away from someone like me? Are you blind? Look at me and look at you," she sneered.

I was stunned. "I-I...I just came to apologize not to compare whose better."

"Well save it, Cullen," she growled. "I was nice to you and you went behind me back and flirted with my boyfriend. The school you came from might be okay with that but here at Denali Academy that isn't okay."

"I didn't flirt with him." Okay, I did but had I known Tanya would've reacted like this, I wouldn't have done it. It was all harmless or so I thought.

"So giving each other pet names and spending tons of time together isn't flirting?"

"You're being ridiculous," I sighed. "We haven't spent a ton of time together and the pet name thing was a joke. Friends do that all the time,"

"Excuses, Excuses," she glared. "They get you nowhere. Just do yourself a favor and stay away from Edward. And If you don't," she laughed, humorlessly. "You won't like the consequences, Isabella,"

With that, she turned and stomped away.

I was stunned. How can she be super nice one minute and the next she has her claws out? I honestly didn't mean to offend her and I tried to apologize but obviously, that's not good enough.

I sighed and slowly made my way to my locker.

"Hey, you okay?" Angela asked.

"So, I may have gone to talk to Tanya," I said, opening my locker.

"Uh oh,"

"Yeah, Uh oh," I grumbled.

"What happen?"

"She truly is a bitch," I said.

"What'd she say?" Angela inquired.

"That I better stay away from Edward or I won't like the consequences,"

"Ouch,"

"Tell me about it," I sighed. "Is she always this crazy?"

"She was wearing a mask, Bella," Angela said. "She wanted to impress you so that she could gain another 'connection'."

"I realize how obvious that is now," I said, grabbing my bag.

"Hey, you two ready to...What happened?" Alice wondered.

"Tanya showed Bella the Evil that resides in her," Angela explained.

"Wow, this early? What'd you do?"

"Apparently, I spent too much time with Edward,"

Alice sighed, "Yeah that'll do it."

"The thing is, is that we don't spend that much time together. I mean I just moved here! How can I spend a ton of time with him in a day?"

"Tanya's mind works in mysterious ways," Angela shrugged.

"I'll say," I mumbled. "Why did either of you tell me? A little warning would have been nice,"

"Would you have believed us?" Angela asked.

"Probably," I said. "You've known her longer than I have."

"I'm truly sorry," Alice said. "It escaped my mind."

"My brother will do that to you,"

Alice laughed, "Tell me about it. When I wasn't plotting his death, I was wondering how you two were related,"

"I wonder the same thing," I laughed.

"Come on," Alice said. "A little retail therapy will make you forget about the wicked bitch of the west,"

You should check out the polyvore sets I made to go along with this chap. D So, what do you think? I'd love to hear.
