After six agonizing hours of Alice dressing me up in various outfits, we were decided on what we would wear to school tomorrow. Alice wanted me to impress Aiden the day before the dance.

We were sitting in her room while Rosalie and Alice's nails dried. I didn't paint my nails; they weren't long enough.

"Emmett told me I look good in red," Rosalie said. Her nails were a deep blood red that stood out. They were long enough to look like claws. Alice's weren't as long and painted lavender.

"Jasper doesn't say anything like that," she said sounding upset.

"That's because he loves you for your soul. He doesn't care about what you wear," I comforted her.

"So, are you saying that Emmett doesn't like my soul?" Rosalie asked.

"No! He likes your soul and personality, but he enjoys your body, too," I said. She smiled obviously satisfied with my answer.

I heard male laughter from downstairs. "They're back," Alice announced. She blew on her nails before saying that they were dry enough.

"Do you want to challenge them in Halo?" I asked Alice excitedly; she nodded.

"What about me?" Rosalie asked.

"You can watch," I offered. She rolled her eyes and followed us. The boys were in the living room, and Edward was on the phone.

"Yeah, that would be great," he said into the phone but looking at me.

"Okay, bye," he ended the conversation.

"Who was that?" Rosalie asked. Edward smiled at Emmett and Jasper.

"Lauren Mallory. She called to ask me to the dance. I said yes," he told them. His eyes flickered toward me.

It felt like someone had hit my stomach- hard. I wanted to fall to the ground. My breathing was becoming slower. An emotion waved over me but it came out in anger.

"Ew, she has the fakest tan," Rosalie said disgusted.

"Not to mention she is the vortex of stupidity. Not that she would know what that means," I said getting my anger out. I started to feel better when Rosalie cracked up.

"I guess somewhere out there some village is missing their idiot," Rosalie added. I burst into laughter; even Alice giggled a little. Emmett was holding onto the couch because he was laughing so hard.

"I heard she can count to 36 now. So when her parents ask what her grades are she can now tell them," I joked. Jasper was even chuckling. Edward was in the corner of the room fuming.

"What's your problem?" he snarled.

"My problem? I don't have a problem," I snapped.

"Why are you being so rude about Lauren?" he asked.

"If you haven't noticed, I've met chimpanzees with more brain capacity than her," I told him.

"You're just jealous!" he accused.

"Oh?" I asked challengingly and raised my eyebrows.

"You're jealous that I would rather go to a dance with Lauren and not you! You're jealous of her," he said confidently.

"Ha!" I laughed sarcastically. "You think I'm jealous of her? I pity her! She has to spend the whole night with you!"

"Exactly why you are so angry," he snarled. My hand curled into a fist. My jaw was clenched; I had never been so angry with Edward in my life. Before I could bring it to his face, which he deserved, I turned on my heel and walked outside. On my way out I yelled, "I hope you have fun with Lauren. Maybe you two can talk about the difference between a square and a circle!"

As soon as I was outside I exploded with tears. Rosalie and Alice were right behind me.

"Shh, it's okay," Alice soothed me. Finally, I quieted down. My sobs weren't as loud.

"Rose? Can you take me home?" I asked sniffing my nose. Rosalie nodded and went inside to get her keys.

Rosalie's POV

"I hope you're happy!" I growled at Edward. He was playing a video game with Emmett and Jasper.

"Incredibly so," he answered. If Bella wasn't waiting outside I would have punched him myself.

"Argh! And to think Bella actually liked you," I mumbled.

"What?" he asked obviously shocked.

"Bella likes you," I said slowly annunciating every word. "But I guess you were too much of a moron to notice. I can't believe she would have picked you of all people."

"She likes me?" he asked again.

"Are you as inept as Bella said?" I demanded. "Yes! She liked you. I bet she still does being the forgiving person she is! Although I don't agree with the choice. She is like my sister, and if you hurt my sister I hurt you. She's out there crying her eyes out, and here you sit playing video games!"

"She's crying?" he asked. I grabbed the keys off of the counter and looked him straight in the eye.

"Don't even pretend you care," I spat at him before slamming the door.

Nobody messes with Bella and gets away with it.

Okay, I'm sorry that there is some meaness in this chapter. I needed to put it in there for the next chapter to make sense. I don't remember who it was who told me to get Edward to go to the dance with Lauren, but whoever it was thanks a bunch! Also, I know my insults about Lauren were cheesey, but I'm a cheesey person. Please review! Also, I'm sorry it's short but the next chapter is the dance so it is bound to be long. It will be coming to an end. I'm sorry!
