I woke up this morning thinking about Edward Cullen

Bella POV

I woke up refreshed and feeling amazing, I got up, got dressed into my attire from the night before, made breakfast, and waited for Emmett to come downstairs. He came down looking pitiful. This is exactly what I would feel for him if I wasn't so happy. I don't know what it was, but I felt like something good was going to happen. (A/n: if only she knew…)

Yawn. "Hey Bells, what's for breakfast?" He rubbed his eyes from all sleep.

"Eggs and bacon with biscuits." He looked at me like I just grew another arm.

"Well, somebody's happy today." He looked at me suggestively.

"What? I can't make my one and only brother breakfast?" I asked innocently. He saw through it.

"You only make eggs and bacon with biscuits when you're in a great mood. What's up?"

He was starting to put a damper on my mood. "Just eat your stinking breakfast, Emmett. And don't forget to leave some for dad. He's going to be late for the station without having to make breakfast too." He looked angry that he had to share the humongous breakfast, but got over it once he took another bite.

I left the room so I wouldn't have to witness the pig in progress. I got my stuff ready and went inside to set it in the truck. I went back inside to tell Emmett that I was ready to leave.

"Bella, why do you always like to be early? You are such a nerd. You have nothing to do at all when you get there except to read." I think it's safe to say I was insulted.

"Alice goes early, too. I do not always read my mind away. At least I read at all."

"What?" I left him to ponder that.

We got in the truck and drove off. My mood was a little down after what Emmett said about being a real nerd, but I wouldn't let a silly comment like that get me down.

When we got to school, I instantly noticed that I was parked next to Jacob's Volkswagen Rabbit. I feel like a proud soccer mom when I say that he built it from scratch. I searched for him, but did not find his big, bulky figure. By this time, Emmett was already gone in search of his jock buddies.

Mostly none of them came early, Except for Edward and Mike. Did I totally forget to mention that I and mike are actually on good terms now? He's okay once you get past the puppy-dog part.

I started to wander the halls when I noticed something I did not want to see. If the nerd comment put a damper on my mood, this was a rain storm. I was looking into the music room at my boyfriend and Lauren having a total make-out session. I was standing there for a total of two minutes, and they never noticed me.

You'd think after two minutes that they'd need to breathe, but no, they still went at it while Emmett came up beside me and followed my gaze to the pair.

I felt him tense up and tears started to spring to my eyes. Emmett was ready to attack, but I held him back. I put my finger to my lips, signaling him to be quiet and leave. He hesitantly nodded and left.

I left not too far behind him and took a detour to the girl's restroom. I sobbed and sobbed.

How could he do this to me? And in the Music room? Why, Jacob? I heard the door open and looked up. It was Alice. She had a pitying look in her eyes.

"You saw, didn't you?" I asked.

"Yep. I was passing by and saw. You'd think they would need to breathe." I chuckled a little, remembering my thoughts of a little while back. Then I went back to sobbing. Alice just held me and told me it would be just fine. I doubted that.

I had lost my personal sunshine. If only for a while, if only I could forgive him.

Sadly, I was kind of happy that he had cheated. I could move on without him. It would take some getting used to, but I will be strong enough to do it. I can. Then I had an idea. We were about to go to first period, and I had Jacob in that class. I could hold off my plan for at least until lunch.

I walked into first period trying to look cheerful when Jacob snaked his arm around my waist. Gag me. He didn't even notice it was forced. I laughed very convincingly when he said something funny. And pretended not to notice when he winked at Lauren.

Lauren glared at me.

I chanced a glance back at Edward only to find that he was looking at me with a weird expression.

Like he knew.

Like he knew it was forced acting.

Edward POV

Alice had woken me up early. Said something about how she felt a 'premonition' that something was going to happen today that she needed to be ready for. I slept for a couple more minutes and then woke up.

I got ready in something that looked and smelled clean, and tried to fix the mess that is my hair. No such luck in that area.

With a sigh I gave up on that and followed as my nose lead the way to a pancake smelling kitchen.

"Looks great, Esme." Some people would think that calling your mom by her first name would be weird, but we have no problem with it. She served me a grateful amount of pancakes and I sat down and started to gobble down my food. Alice came in and looked at me with a disgusted look on her face. Then she got one of those 'Special K' bars.

She was planning a diet, but she would probably break it the second day. She was never one to resist sweets. It was what gave her the nature of hyper-ness.

We drove to school with the radio blasting Panic at the Disco. We were singing along at top volume to be heard over the CD. It was one of those times when we bond over singing.

We arrived and half the students that were there early stared at us like we had grown a sudden second nose on our chins.

I turned off the radio and stumbled outside while Alice did the same. We were both laughing our heads off when we parted our separate waves. She headed toward the building, and I headed toward the football field to talk to the other guys.

After the warning bell rang, I stalked off to first period. Before I walked to the door, I was pulled aside by Alice.

"If Bella starts bawling, don't be surprised. Jacob was having a total make-out session with that wench Lauren, and Bella walked in on them. Just warning you so you know what's going on." Why would she warn me? What use would that be? I shrugged and went inside seconds before the bell rang. I sat in the near back, just two tables off fro where Bella and Jacob normally sat.

They came in, his hands around her waist. It was sickening. If she saw, why was she laughing and smiling. Then when I looked a bit closer, I could see that it was a total fake and forced smile. Jacob was not even acknowledging it, if he really knew.

In the middle of the lecture, I saw Bella glance at me and then look surprised at something on my expression. She looked away so quickly, I could have sworn that she gave herself whiplash. Her own deep, chocolate eyes told me so much.

This was all an act.

This was for Jacob's amusement.

It would be interesting on how this would turn out.

Bella POV

It was one period till lunchtime. Time to put my plan into action. It wasn't diabolical, but it gave me a sense of…. Something, I have no idea what it was. I sent the text.

J

Jacob, I can't keep doing this. I love you, but as a friend, and not more.

I'm truly sorry, Jacob. I just . . . I don't think I'm being fair to you by going out with you while I just don't feel any sparks between us, you know? So sorry.

B

I wanted to add, and it wouldn't feel right knowing you got a wench on your other arm, but I settled for that. I turned off my phone so that he wouldn't be able to reach me if he wanted to talk.

He knows when I'm lying, and I don't want him to know that I saw him make out with some other chick.

After fourth period, I headed for lunch. I really dreaded it, but I was hungry and they had fish sticks. I was standing in the lunch line when Alice grabbed my arm.

"Did you do it?" By the way, I told Alice my plan.

"Yep, right before fourth period." She seemed relieved.

"I am so glad you finally broke up with him, he was too unworthy of you." Then her eyes seemed to dart unknowingly to Edward, who was now walking towards the jock table. I went back to my beloved fish sticks.

Alice POV

I was relieved that she had broken up with him. I had always known this would happen. I am so glad that I woke Edward up early. I asked her if she put her plan in action and she told me yes.

My eyes darted their way to Edward, as if to say to Bella, 'hey, there's a guy worthy of your time, and he likes you too!' But she went back to her freaking fish sticks. Ick.

Some guy at the jock table's POV

Edward was totally distracted at lunch. He looks so cute when he's distracted. I can't help but let my gay side come out when I am around him. I fawn over him like I was one of these teenage girls. Nobody should know that I am gay, but I once made the mistake of telling Mike that he looked good in his uniform.

I should be manly, but I am so gay, Michael Jackson is put to shame. (A/n: sorry, Michael! I love his songs anyway.)

Bella's POV

The rest of lunch, I was occupied thinking about how I was going to get back into the dating process. Apparently Alice was thinking about the same thing, because she got this devilish grin on her face. The next sentence to come out of her mouth proved I was right.

"Bella, Saturday- tomorrow- we will be going to the mall. I hear that there is this whole speed dating thing going on at the food court."

"Speed dating, Alice?" It seemed like a crazy idea to me, but apparently not.

"Yes, you need something to get your mind off Jacob. And this is the perfect way of doing it. Unless…you want to go shopping."

Sigh. I knew she would resort to that. "Fine. But if I run into more than three losers, I'm out of there." She jumped up and hugged me.

"Thank you. Now, let's not be late to class." In the hallway, we parted our separate ways. Time for Biology. Oh, joy. I walked in the Bio room worrying about Saturday with Alice. I sat down and doodled circles on my notebook.

"I would've never figured you for a circle girl." I jumped at the sound of the velvety voice that starred in both nightmares and dreams.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just got a lot on my mind." How did he do that? I was planning on lying and saying I was perfectly fine. Then I looked at those beautiful emerald gems staring at me.

"What kind of things?" He was hiding a smirk now at my vulnerable ness.

"Things." Then I made the mistake of looking into his eyes again and blurted out, "And your tiny menacing pixie of a sister wants me to go to a speed dating thing." He laughed but then turned confused.

"Wait, aren't you with Jacob?"

"I broke up with him in a text message." I will not look him in the eyes again. This proved to be a harder task than I thought.

"Oh. Well, why is speed dating such a bad thing?" By this point in the conversation, we are whispering because the teacher just came in.

"Because if I see more than three losers, I will lose my head."

"What if I come?" His eyes widened as he realized what he said. I can't say mine didn't.

"Uh, well, it probably wouldn't be boring; you do seem like a cool guy…" We were both blushing profusely. We were also surrounded by comments like; 'look at the tomatoes over there' which only made us blush even more. God, let this be over!

I think God heard me, because he made the bell ring five minutes early. I will never underestimate him again. I ran out of there so fast, Superman would make me his personal piggy-back rider. I took a glimpse of Edward and noticed he just stood there stunned.

I took a detour from Gym and just strode to my car unnoticed. I put on some Panic at the Disco and leaned back. I hadn't noticed I had fallen asleep until I heard the knock of Emmett on the passenger side door. My hand was resting on the handle to the door so when he knocked, I pushed and fell.

Almost.

Edward had caught me. I mumbled thanks, still awkward because of that conversation in Bio. We left and got home. I decided to go to sleep early.

Edward POV

She just ran out of there. I know it was embarrassing, but she ran like the Mafia was on her tail.

I didn't want to go to Mrs. whose-its class, so I took a detour to my precious Volvo. I got in and felt the nice, cool leather. I inhaled the mint smell of it from last Monday, when Alice spilt her perfume. I laughed at the memory. She was bouncing so high that day.

I looked over to my side and gasped when I saw Bella in her truck singing along to a song that was playing in her car. I watched when I was sure she couldn't see me. After a good hour, she had fallen asleep. She looked so peaceful.

And beautiful.

And amazing.

And…I think I loved her. Sigh. Maybe I would just happen to go to that speed dating thing. I am single. And looking for a date.

Ten minutes until the last bell. I got out of my Volvo, ready to look like I had just finished a long day of school. I heard my name.

"Edward." It was Bella. I turned to the direction her truck was in. She was still sleeping. Maybe I had imagined it.

"Edward." I turned back. Was she playing mind games? Her window was open just a crack, so I could hear her voice. I stared her truck down until I had heard her say it again. "Edward." She sleep talks? When did this happen? What sent a shiver down my spine was how right my name sounded on those lips.

Four minutes.

I left Bella to talk and walked toward the building. Five, four, three, two….Briiiiiinnnnnnggggg! I walked into the stream of teenagers trying to look tired. I then headed for the field for practice.

Yawn. All we did in practice was get a pep talk from the coach.

When it was over, all the jocks headed to the parking lot. I got there right before Bella would've hit the ground. I caught her and she mumbled thanks. She left again.

I drove home with Alice. We were both quiet on the way there. I didn't even bother to eat. I just wanted to sleep before Saturday.

A/n: Zomg! Aren't you proud of me? Two updates in a day! Review please. I stayed up so I could write this. Yeah, you better press that purple colored button. My eyelids feel like they are made of lead, so I will try to go to sleep after I post this.

Aren't you glad I got rid of Jacob? He won't be talking much anymore. Probably making out with Lauren. The mental image. Ick.

Anyways, I have no idea who the gay guy is, I just added him for a weird effect. Lol.
