A/N: My goal for this story was to update once a week at the very least but track conditioning has started and I have a few FCCLA projects I'm doing so I might not update as often as I'd like. I will try to keep updating every week but I can't make any promises. I hope you have liked the story so far. Please review.

Chapter 5

BPOV

"So you're Edward." I said.

"Yes." He said slightly confused.

"It's nice to finally put a face to the name. Alice talks about you all the time. I told him earning a scowl from Alice and a grin from Edward.

"Really." He looked smug. "What does she say about me?"

I decided to wipe that smug smile off his face. "Just stories." I said as I sat down next to him. "Oh! I always wanted to know did you really streak down Main Street when you were ten."

Edward turned bright red and his eyes popped out of his head in surprise. Alice and everyone else at the table broke into snickers.

"No. I was eleven." He mumbled while throwing glares at Alice.

"Oh that makes it better." I said.

After everyone stopped laughing at Edward, Alice started talking to Edward about taking me to biology and gym.

"Hey Edward?" she said smiling sweetly.

"What Alice." He said eyeing her warily. He didn't trust that too sweet smile, that was smart.

"Bella has Bio next period and then gym would you mind showing her the way." Alice asked angelically.

"um." He glanced at me trying to fine the catch. He knew she was up to something but he couldn't figure out what. "Yes?"

"Thank you Edward." She said with that same smile.

"Do you have any clue what she's up to?" I asked him to low for Alice to hear.

"No, you?" he asked looking relived that he wasn't the only one that suspected her of something.

"I have no clue. She has had that look all day though." I said. Technically I did know what Alice was up to, or I at least I thought I did, but I didn't need to share that with him.

"Oh Edward when you walk Bella to class make sure to keep a close eye on her." Jasper said seriously.

"Why?" Edward said eyeing me suspiciously.

"Because she falls down all the time." Jasper said with a chuckle, as if it was obvious.

"It can't be that bad. Edward said rolling his eyes at Jasper.

"She tripped three times during the first three periods," Jasper said seriously. "And twice there wasn't anything to trip over."

"Are you serious?" he asked.

"Yeah it's been a good day usually it's way higher than that." I said.

Then a girl with strawberry blond hair and a figure that any runway model would kill for walked up. She sat down next to Edward and when he saw her, his face lit up.

"Hi Tanya." He said with a big smile on his face. It was then that I began to worry. Edward obviously liked this Tanya.

"Hi Edward." She said and her tone of uninterested confused me. Her eyes seemed to land on me then. "Who are you?" she asked as she glanced between Edward and I.

"I'm Bella," I told her. "Bella Swan."

"Oh you're Alice's cousin." She said slightly annoyed.

The rest of lunch Edward focused on Tanya who kept thronging me suspicious glares and ignoring Edward.

When the bell rang we all said goodbye and Edward started leading me to biology.

"I'm sorry if I embarrassed you during lunch." I said trying to start a conversation.

"It's ok; I really should have expected it. You are Alice's cousin after all." He said with a slight chuckle.

"What is that suppose to mean?" I asked annoyed.

"Just that, that is something that I would expect from Alice. You're cousins so I should have expected the same from you." He said as if it was obvious.

"I'll have you know that I'm absolutely nothing like that crazy pixie." I told him offended by his unfair assumption.

"Really?" he asked unbelieving.

"Yes really, that girl is evil conniving, sneaky, meddling, and did I mention evil?" I said causing him to chuckle. "But she is my cousin and my best friend, so I love her."

"Well from the way she talks about you I'd say she feels the same." He said with a smile.

'she talks about me a lot?" I asked, blushing because I knew the answer and was a little scarred of what she'd said.

"Yeah especially since she found out you were moving out here. It was starting to annoy the crap out of Tanya." He said chuckling.

"Tanya, she was the blond girl at lunch right?" I asked unsure. Alice had never really talked about her.

"Yep" he said as we walked into the biology room. I got my slip sighed and sat down in the only open seat which was next to Edward. The teacher said we were going to have a free day and to just keep the volume down.

"You know I don't remember Alice ever mentioning Tanya." I said truthfully.

"Really?" he sounded surprised. "That's weird."

"Why? Have you guys known her for very long?" I asked.

"Um yeah we've known her since her family moved down here when we were all twelve." He said.

"Wow. I wonder why Alice never mentioned her before." I said truly curious.

"I don't know she is a totally awesome person." He told me with a shine in his eyes that hadn't been there before.

Edward continued to talk about Tanya for the rest of the period and during the walk to gym. I couldn't help noticing the way he spoke about her. It confused me. I decided I'd ask Alice about it after school.

"Hey Alice." I said from my place on her bed. She was trying to find an outfit for tomorrow.

"yes." She said looking at two different shirts.

"What's up with Edward and Tanya?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" she asked finally deciding on an outfit and going to look for jewelry.

"I mean, are they like dating or something?" I asked hoping the answer would be no.

"no." she said making my heart swell with joy. "Why do you ask?"

"it's just the way he talked about her in class today it seemed like he was in love with her or something." I said.

"Oh he thinks he is." She said.

"WHAT!" I shrieked

Alice then told me the story of how Tanya and Edward had dated. Then about how she dumped Edward as soon as other guys started to notice her. Then about how she treats Edward like dirt and uses him as a last resort.

"That's awful." I said not believing anyone would not want Edward.

"Yeah it is." She said. "But don't worry I have a plan if everything goes right you and him will be together in less in less than three months."

Alice and I smiled at each other. I then realized that I had a new mission in life that mission was to get Edward to realize he deserved much better than Tanya. He wouldn't have to love me, just so long as he stopped loving her. This was one mission that would succeed. I'd make sure of it.

A/N: well there we go. I hope you like it. Please leave me a review to tell me if you liked it.
