DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!

I felt my eyes flutter open. My dull, boring brown ones were met with bright, emerald green ones. Edward, my mind recognized. There was a dull ache in my back. I was laying on something hard and uncomfortable. I sat up and I could feel Edward's eyes on me the whole time. I also noticed that Austin was leaning against the wall. His eyes were bloodshot, but he still had the smile on his face. And this time it was no longer guarded.

The beginning of the day came rushing back to me and I groaned at the sensation. Edward I could tell was alarmed.

"Bella are you okay?" He asked worriedly. I vaguely nodded my head yes.

"Do you know why you fainted?" He continued to question me.

"Everything was going to fast. My mind couldn't process it quickly enough," I told him. My voice was husky; like I hadn't spoken for days.

Alice decided that it her time to make an appearance because she burst through the doors looking ready to kill. I wrapped my arms around myself. I was uncomfortable.

I haven't seen Alice ever this mad before. She gave me a pointed look that said she needed to talk to me. I reluctantly got up. Bella was feeling uncomfortable and I wanted to comfort her. But I got up and let Austin do the job. I walked out the office with Alice leading the way and closed the door behind me. Finally we stopped walking once we were down the hallway.

"Alice, why are you mad?" I asked cautiously. I didn't know if she was mad at me and I definitely didn't want to add fuel to the fire.

"Well when Bella fainted, I noticed that people were looking at her hands. At first I was confused and then it all made sense. They were looking at her wrists. But there are lot of emo kids who do that here, so it can't be a big deal. But being good actress came to my advantage and I went up to the biggest gossiper in town, Jessica, and asked what all the ruckus was about. And you know what she told me?!" At fist she whispering, but her voice level went up with every syllable.

"What?" I asked quietly. Alice was scaring me, but this information was vital because I wanted to know why there treating Bella this way.

"She said that Bella was so hopelessly in love with you that she tried to kill herself by cutting her wrists and she came up with this whole forgetting about you stuff to try to steal from Tanya," She shouted. " And that's when I started to think. The only people to know Bella cut herself were us and Tanya. Of course, none of us would say anything, but I most definitely know that Tanya would!"

I was shocked at the newly discovered information. I had no doubt that it was Tanya. I saw something in her eyes yesterday. My first reaction was trouble, but I shrugged it off. I was shocked and hurt. How could she betray me like this? Bella was my best friend and meant a lot to me. I knew Tanya was always jealous because she would never understand the relationship between Bella and I. But I would do that to her if she had a guy best friend.

I was furious beyond belief. I wanted Tanya out of my life. I didn't even want to see her face anymore. My mind pictured her one more time. I was immediately repulsed. How couldn't I see that she fake from the beginning, how there was nothing true to her? She was never being herself; just a product of peer pressure. I let my anger die down before I went back to Bella. I quickly told Alice my thoughts and she was glad I came to my senses.

Bella was out the door before I had a chance to get there. First period was over and I would immediately be changing my seat tomorrow. Anyone of the hormonal boys would gladly give there's up to sit next to plastic Tanya.

As soon as I felt well enough, I walked to my second period class. Austin and Edward kept asking me non stop if I was okay, but I reassured them every time. The morning passed by quickly for me. But people still whispered and pointed. I wasn't dumb. They all knew about the scar on my wrist. I heard some rumors. But Austin told me rumors weren't true. So I didn't believe them.

I walked in the lunchroom with Austin and I got pizza with a diet soda. All this attention was making me hungry. We walked to the Cullen's table. Everyone was there except Tanya. Once I sat down they bombarded me with questions, I just laughed it off and they seemed to relax. I made some conversation with Rosalie. Her hair was different from yesterdays. Instead of the pin straight, she had curls. Her purple plaid shirt accented beautifully on her skin and her jeans were snug and fit on her legs. But my eyes bugged out when they saw how high her heels were.

It wasn't too long before Tanya. She was wearing black tube top and white shorts. She had had on black wedge heels. Her hair was in a ponytail, but slightly volumized. Seriously, wasn't this girl cold?! I saw the whole table stiffen. My face turned into one of confusion.

"Eddie!" she yelled and ran toward Edward. He immediately pushed her away and my eyes widened in surprise. But I couldn't say that I wasn't pleased.

"Tanya, we're over," he said to her. It was quiet so everyone in the cafeteria heard. He sat back down and she looked surprised and hurt.

"It's because of you!" She pointed at me. "You slut. He was mine and you took him. You bitch!" Tears gathered in my eyes. But my mind was smart enough to let them fall. I heard a scraping against the floor and saw that Alice was walking towards Tanya. She pulled her hand back and sent it flying forward.

Slap! Alice had just smacked her! I couldn't hold in my laughter and the rest of the table joined. Tanya ran out the door with a girl Jessie? Jennifer? I already forgot her name. We talked for the rest of the lunch period like any of this did not happen. Alice told me she was going to take me shopping. For some reason I was scared but I agreed. From what I saw, she was a very fashionable person.

Her off the shoulder printed shirt, skinny jeans, and heels showed me that. Her hair was in soft, short curls. My mind told me she was a beauty expert.

Lunch soon came to an end and the rest of the afternoon flew by. I was leaning against Austin's car waiting for him to come out of class. Edward walked up to me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Well, Austin invited the gang and me to hang out later and I came to get the address," he responded. I nodded my head in understanding. Austin was there before I had a chance to reply. He gave Edward the address and we were all set.

I watched Edward walked back to his car. My brain was telling me my emotions. Disappointment and longing? That couldn't be right. My brain was going wacky on my today. Then again, when wasn't it?
