I had to wait the entire weekend before I got to see her again. I couldn't shake Bella from my mind and it was really pissing me off.

I spent the weekend alternating between having sex with Victoria and trying to get over my aversion to her. She was sexy as fuck, but she was also overly nice. She was the kind of person that volunteered at homeless shelters and knitted sweaters for kittens and shit.

I went with her to the homeless shelter one time because she said it would make me feel good and I would learn more about myself or something. But all I learned was that homeless people were gross.

"Hey Eddy, you okay?" Victoria turned around and came to where I was lying in the bed.

"Fantastic. Why?" I hated it when she called me Eddy.

"You haven't been yourself this weekend. I mean everything was still…..amazing" she said tracing her fingers down my abs.

"But… I don't know… forget I said anything," she finished, turning away from me.

"Will do," I replied giving her the thumbs up.

I knew I was probably supposed to ask her what was really bothering her, but I honestly didn't care. Things with Victoria and I had been easy so far. I didn't want to fuck it up by asking her about her feelings and shit. God forbid I might have to actually listen to her tell me about her life.

See, Victoria and I were together…sort off. She was by far the hottest girl at the Seattle School for Girls. She came from one of Forks' founding families and our families had been friends since forever. So it was kind of expected that we would end up together eventually.

But I was clearly no where near ready to settle down and thankfully for Victoria, she understood that. We had an agreement. For all intensive purposes, we were together. We went to social events, benefits, proms, cotillions, and all types of annoying bullshit together. But, we weren't exclusive. I slept with whoever I wanted and I guessed she did the same. I didn't really know what she did when she wasn't with me. I'd never asked. Because I don't really care.

"Okay, well I'll see you next week babe," Victoria said buttoning up her shirt and kissing me.

"Mmhmm."

"Now get up before you're late."

For some reason Victoria liked to pretend like I gave a damn about being on time or that I actually listened to her.

She turned and walked out of the door, leaving me to think about what had happened Friday night.

I couldn't decide if Emmett's party had been a success or an epic failure.

For some reason Bella thought that I hated her or something. I didn't hate Bella, I just didn't understand her. One minute she would be all shy and the next she would get all up in Rosalie's face and say exactly what was on my mind.

And damn it if that didn't turn me on.

And it didn't help that she hadn't been wearing a shirt at Emmett's party. She looked so sexy and I swear her zipper had been lowering all night. But if I could see her boobs, that meant everyone else could too.

And that shit bothered me.

I don't know why but it did.

All this caring was getting annoying, and probably giving me frown lines. I needed to sleep with her. And I needed to do it quick so that I could move on with my fucking life.

Or else Bella Swan would be the death of me.

By the time I pulled into my parking spot, everyone was already at our usual spot at the top of the stairs.

I had barely gotten out of my car before Jessica Stanley was by my side.

"Hey Edward!"

"Jessica."

"How was your weekend?" she asked looking up at me with me with her annoyingly over eager smile.

Sometimes I felt bad for Jessica. She didn't ask to be born into a family that was already on the outskirts of Forks social society, nor did she ask for the doctor to mess up her nose job causing her to look like a mix of big bird and Michael Jackson, it just happened. But just when I would think about cutting her some slack, she would give me that annoying ass smile and any empathy that I had for her would leave.

"It was fine Jessica."

"Great! Well, see my parents are out of town and I was just wondering if you'd want to do something."

"You know Jessica I would, really, but I just have so much school work to do. I've been so stressed lately" I sighed looking down at her through my lashes. Girls always ate this shit up

"Really? Because you know if you are too stressed, I could like….help you or something."

"Really Jess? Now I wouldn't want to cause you any trouble," I gave her a face that said I actually gave a damn. I had been practicing this face since birth.

"No! It wouldn't be any trouble. It would be my pleasure to help,"

God, she was just so eager. It was a little revolting.

"Thanks Jessica, I'll have someone bring you my assignments later," I patted her on the shoulder and left her standing there.

See, its all about give and take. If you want people to do what you want, you have to let them believe that they actually have a chance with you.

I call it giving back.

I looked up to where my friends were. Something was off. There was an extra person with them. What was going on? Rosalie didn't usually let anyone into our group. We usually didn't let anyone in.

We weren't really the branching out type.

I walked up to them to see who it was.

Bella.

Of course.

She was everywhere.

Bella was perched on top of Emmett's lap and looking hot as ever. Damn her.

"Hey Fuckward!" Emmett yelled once I reached them.

"Dick," I greeted him forcing a smile.

"What happened to you Friday? All of a sudden you were just gone." Jasper asked wrapping his arms around Alice.

Those two were becoming overly disgusting. Jasper and Alice had been in love with each other since ninth grade. They were either just too dumb or scared to tell each other. The only thing worse than watching people be in love, was watching people who were in love but wouldn't admit it.

They had all this pent up emotion that they would just randomly let lose on anyone around them, i.e. me. Alice was always hugging me or putting too much energy into any and everything. And every now and then I would catch Jasper wringing his hands, probably to stop himself from any extraneous hugging. And when they weren't hugging, they were giving one another these sickeningly sweet looks that made me want to grab a random girl and fuck her just to prove that I could.

Quite frankly, it was exhausting to watch.

"Ask Bella," I answered Jasper.

Bella shifted uncomfortably on Emmett's lap.

"Edward had to leave because his girlfriend told him it was time to go," Bella stated glaring at me.

"Victoria? She was at my party?" Emmett asked.

"Yup," Bella said still looking at me.

"Damn Cullen, you should have told me. She's hot as fuck. Annoying, but hot"

"She's okay," Bella blurted out, looking like she immediately regretted saying anything.

"Are you jealous Tits?" Emmett asked jostling his knees so that Bella bopped up and down on his lap, giving me a perfect view of her bouncing boobs. "Cus you know that Daddy only has eyes for you." He nuzzled into her neck, making her giggle.

I really hated Emmett sometimes. He was being overly affectionate with her on purpose.

"So when did this happen?" I asked pointing to Emmett and Bella.

"What? Me and Tits? We're not together or anything. I'm just going with the flow and Bella here, well she has nice tits," Emmett stated simply. Bella slapped him in the back of the head and he fucking started tickling her.

And she actually, legitimately giggled. Like they were in a fucking Miley Cyrus movie or something. It was disgusting.

Personally, I think that giggling and tickling should be reserved for children and middle aged perverts.

But no one asked me, so whatever.

"Oh my God, Bella could you be any easier?" Rosalie chipped in finally looking up from her nails.

For once, I agreed with Rosalie. Bella certainly wasn't making this hard for Emmett.

"Could you be any more bitter?" Bella asked.

Probably not. I doubted that anyone could be more bitter than Rosalie. She'd come out of the womb a bitch. Once when we were five, Emmett and I made this gay ass Lemonade stand and she knocked it all over just because we hadn't invited her to join us. That was when I first realized the true depth of Rosalie's bitchiness.

She was consistent though. She would be the same bitch Monday that she was Friday. And I admired that.

"Ladies, there is enough of the big Em to go around," Emmett said opening his arms and wrapping one around Rosalie.

Watching this was getting old. Quick.

Thankfully the bell rang, saving me from having to watch any more of the Emmett, Rosalie, and Bella show. Every one got up to actually go to class or something ridiculous like that, and I was finally left alone.

This used to be my favorite time of the day. It gave me a chance to get away from Rosalie's bitching, Jasper and Alice's constant longing stares, and Emmett's just all around jackass persona. Don't get me wrong, I loved them. But sometimes they were a little much.

This was the time that I usually used to think about the day ahead and how I would get out of doing something or other.

But now, most of my thoughts included Bella. And that was getting on my nerves.

Did she actually like Emmett or something?

Emmett and I had slept with plenty of the same girls. Never at the same time of course, but once I'm done with a girl I don't care who gets her next.

So, why did it matter if Bella liked him? I was Edward Cullen damn it!

I could get anyone that I wanted.

And apparently I wanted Bella.

So I would get her.

Ten minutes later, I finally walked into my first class. Bella was sitting at her desk biting on a pencil.

I walked up and took the seat next to her.

She promptly turned her head away from me.

"Hey Bella."

No response.

"You look good today."

Still no response.

"You know if you're not going to talk to me. You could at least take that pencil out of your mouth. It's not good for my imagination."

She looked up at me.

"You are disgusting," Bella looked at me, taking the pencil from her mouth.

I knew she would respond to that. Girls can't resist you when you act like a dick.

"That's not what you were saying Friday."

"Before you're girlfriend came in," she bit.

"Why do you keep calling her my girlfriend?" I asked.

"Because that's what she is."

"Define 'girlfriend'," I said making air quotes.

"Did you really just do air quotes?"

"Possibly."

"Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan," Ms. Kachins called from the front of the room.

"What?" we both looked up at the same time.

"You two are paired for the assignment."

"What assignment?" Bella asked.

"The classical literature assignment on Romeo and Juliet? Have you not heard anything that I said?" Ms. Kachins asked looking like she was actually getting mad.

"Nope," I said matter of factly.

"That's fine Edward, just get someone to explain it to you," she smiled at me.

Bella scoffed loudly.

Ms. Kachins went on to pair other people in the class.

"Looks like we're stuck together," I smiled at her.

"I can't believe this."

"Me either, you are a very lucky girl. Many girls would kill to be in your position." I leaned back.

"Ugh, you are gross," she said with no conviction in her voice.

I winked and blew her a kiss.

When the bell rang, Bella gathered her stuff and tried to hurry out the door.

She might have actually beaten me to the door if she wasn't five foot two and didn't have baby legs. I mean honestly, did she think she could outrun me or something?

I caught up to her in no time and slung my arm around her shoulders.

"Hey kiddo, what's the rush?"

"Don't touch me Edward," she said, not moving away.

"You sure have changed since Friday," I looked down at her.

"Okay, why do you keep bringing that up?" she stopped walking and turned to face me.

"What?"

"Friday night, us…..our kiss."

"We kissed?" I whispered in mock shock stepping back from her.

"Shutup," she smacked my arm and tried to hide the smile on her face.

"So you do smile."

"No."

"No?"

"Nope," she replied and started walking again.

"Really? Because I think that not smiling would lead to a very boring life," I said walking in circles around her as she walked. She really did walk very slowly.

"Nope."

"Really? You look kind of bored."

She didn't say anything.

"You know when you didn't look bored?"

"When?"

"Friday."

Could she really not guess I was gonna say that?

"Edward, why are you talking to me so much? Last week you barely even looked at me."

"Of course I didn't," I stopped circling her.

"Why?"

"Well because I didn't want you last week."

"What?" she looked absolutely appalled. Maybe I shouldn't have said that.

"Last week, I thought you were cute, under dressed, but cute. But I couldn't decide if I wanted you or not."

"And?"

"Well I decided. And I want you." I said matter of factly.

"You can't just decide that you want someone."

"Why not?"

"Because it doesn't just work like that. Just because you want someone, doesn't mean they will want you back."

Was she dense? That's exactly what it meant. At least for me.

"Are you saying that you don't want me?"

"Exactly," she said looking away.

She was a liar.

"I think you already proved the opposite."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"I did no such thing."

"Bella, I was there."

"I was too."

"And I distinctly remember a certain someone climbing into my lap and…"

"Okay! Maybe I did want you at some point. But I don't anymore. Besides, it doesn't matter anyway. You have a girlfriend."

Why did she keep bringing that up?

"What is your obsession with the g word?"

"The g word? You can't even say it," she scoffed.

"Yes I can."

"Then say it." She crossed her arms in front of her.

"I can say it. I just prefer not to. And anyway why are you so obsessed with her? Are you a lesbian or something?" I leaned in closer to her.

"What? No!"

"Then why do you keep bringing her up?"

"Because…..I don't know. Why don't you ever bring her up?" she asked raising her arms in the air.

"What exactly did you want me to say about her?"

"I don't know. Maybe that she actually existed!"

Why would she want me to say a thing like that? Clearly Victoria existed. Bella was weird.

"Okay well, Victoria exists," I said slowly making sure that she understood. Apparently she was a bit slow.

"It's too late for that now! I know she exists!" she raised her arms again. I guess she liked doing that.

"Then why did you ask me to tell you!"

This was getting annoying.

"Forget it!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"Forgotten!"

"Good."

At this point it seemed like we were just yelling to yell at each other. We hadn't gotten anything accomplished. But I still wanted her…. needed to get her out of my system.

She looked away from me and I noticed that people had congregated in the hallway to watch whatever the fuck it was that we were doing.

I lowered my voice.

"Bella?"

"Yea?"

"Are we going to have sex or what?"

"Definitely not," she said turning and walking away from me.

Everyone stopped staring at her and turned back to look at me.

I hoped that she didn't think that I was going to chase her again. Fuck that. Edward Cullen chased no one.

Bella would just have to come around.

She couldn't resist me forever.

Her willpower had to waiver at some point.

And I was gonna be right there when it did.
