A/N: See guys, all your lovely reviews have motivated me to write again the day after! Ok, I know it says day after, I did start it the day after but then I kind of left it. My bad! I fail my English again because of you!! I know I was a bit hasty with Bella's revelation of loving Edward but I o know what I'm doing. I'm going to dedicate this chapter to Evill Twin of Bella for her lovely motivating review. It made me laugh and want to open up a new word document. Nearly two weeks before Breaking Dawn!! (NOW 4DAYS. Or in my case 6 because England sucks.) Happy reading guys!

Chapter 7I took a deep breath and gathered my emotions back into my control. I pulled on the threads of Jaspers powers to disguise my emotions. I had felt my emotions as a mixture of surprise, happiness and lust. How embarrassing.
I smiled stiffly in Edwards's direction. That was a mistake on its own as I felt my smile weaken. Was it really necessary for him to be so ridiculously good looking?
"I'll see you later on, everyone. I've got to go to meet Angela." I walked away from the Cullen's with as much dignity as I could. I heard Edward chuckle slightly and my blood boiled.
How could I love him? I found the answer to my question with ease. I didn't, what I felt for him was probably just lust that I could hardly be blamed for.
When I reached the main block Alice suddenly appeared form nowhere and accompanied me.
"I know you like Edward, Bella. He likes you to. You two are just to silly to realise it." I raised my eyebrows slightly as her high-pitched voice sliced through the silence around me.
"Alice, I don't like Edward and he certainty doesn't like me!" I said slowly and surely. If I said it enough I could probably convince myself as well.
"Don't be silly Bella. Of course you like each other. I know you do, it'll end well." Alice said with ridiculous assurance. I suppose being able to see the future did that to your confidence.
"Alright, Alice. He's very handsome, that brother of yours. I'll give him that." I gave in after realising that I wasn't going to win against Alice.
Alice squealed and jumped up and down, earning strange looks form passing by humans in the process.
"I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!" Alice danced around me in excitement. I rolled my eyes.
"Considering you knew it you seem very happy. I've got to go, bye Alice." Alice and I said our goodbyes and she went and joined her family. As I walked off I glanced back at the Cullen's.
They shared a constant lighthearted banter as they separated to go to their lessons.
I walked to my first lesson, which was gym, as fast as I could without attracting unwanted attention.
I got changed quickly, noticing that the rest of the class was nearly changed already. I smiled my hello to Angela as she headed into the gym.
My sensitive ears picked up on the petty conversation of two of the girls in the changing rooms with me. One of the girls was very short with wildly curly brown hair. The other girl was taller and had horrible pale fishy eyes.
"Who does she think she is? She's been here five minutes and already she's got half the school lusting after her. Even the Cullen's talk to her as if they've known her forever." The fishy girl said nastily.
"I completely, like, know!" the short girl exclaimed as she shot a malicious look my way. I smirked slightly, unable to believe that these girls wasted their time talking about me. Couldn't they see how precious their mortality was, not to waste it? Apparently not.
"Have you seen the way she is with Edward Cullen? Everyone knows he's mine! She's not even pretty!" I straightened up and marched past them. If only they knew the torture my immortal existence gave me. It had many benefits for sure, but such a high price to play.
The fish girl attempted to push me as I walked past. I heard her gasp in surprise as she felt my cold hard skin that was so like granite to the human touch.
In gym we were running track, an event that I had no problems with due to my ability to run faster than the human eye can see for an almost infinite amount of time. I ran slowly enough so as not to attract the attention of the coach but fast enough to get a respectable time.
At the water fountain I carefully wiped some water on my face and started to breathe heavily so as not to seem unnatural. That was a joke; I was about as unnatural as it got. My only competition in that department was the werewolves, they at least had beating hearts and needed to breathe.
After gym I headed to my second lesson that was English. I sat in the class and pretended to pay attention to the teacher's ramblings. My mind drifted to Edward as was usual these days.
Once I saw past his incredible looks and focused on his personality I realised that although he may be sensitive, intelligent and witty he was also arrogant, stubborn, self righteous and potentially overbearing.
I considered also how quickly I had deciphered my feelings towards him for love. I saw that this couldn't be possible. How could I love someone I had only known for a few days and had hardly spoken to? My feelings were nothing more that deep physical attraction and lust. Silly Bella! Always jumping to conclusions.
My final decision was to talk to Edward and his family and get to know them before I thought about the possibility of Edward and I being anything more than friends. I had enough work to do making us friends!
I had made this conclusion whilst I was walking out of class to my car. As if on cue, a small black haired thing suddenly appeared by my shoulder like a genie that had been summoned.
"Hello, Alice" I said wearily, not eager to have my brains picked again. "What do you want?"
"Hi, Bella. I'm glad to see that you're learning. The next step is for you to sound eager and exciting when asking that question!" Alice beamed.
"That won't ever happen. What do you want?" I replied sounding more than slightly strained.
"Never say never! About Edward…"
"No Alice, I have told you all you need to know. The guy is good looking. That's about it!" I cut Alice off before she could continue.
"Don't be ridiculous, Bella! I know that's not it and I certainly need to know more. You two are obviously made for each other!"
"Now you're just being deluded. Its not like Edward even likes me anyway."
"Silly Bella" Alice dismissed, echoing my earlier words. "Come spend some quality time with my family and I."
"Fine," I gave in, realising that Alice would win whatever happened.
Alice steered me to the table that her family was sitting at. Everyone greeted me in his or her usual fashion. Some warm, some cold, some extravagant, some reserved.
I gave my own genuinely warm and happy greeting before that table settled into a lighthearted banter and gentle conversation. Everyone included me uncannily naturally.
I looked at Edward out of the corner of my eye whenever I though he wasn't looking.
I was suddenly struck by the feeling that I had seen him somewhere before. That would explain why I was so familiar with his looks. I was almost certain as he stood out, even in the vampire world, for his beauty.
The question was where.
A/N: There you go, chapter 7. That was also mainly filler but there were some key points.
Review nicely and lots and I will update again this week, or I will try to anyway.
Thanks for all the reviews on the last chapter, the most I've had so far for a single chapter. I also broke the hundred review barrier.
