Chapter 7. Jealous conversations.

(BELLA POV):

I sighed.

Time was passing unbearably slow for my liking.

I felt trapped once more. What will I give to just be anywhere but here all because of Edward Masen.

(Flashback)

I was sitting in the library as I was currently reading Hamlet, another one of Shakespeare's best plays. Just when I was about to finish my favourite scene, my thoughts couldn't help and drift off to Edward. How his smile made me internally giggle, his eyes will simply make my knees go week and his hair just kept on taunting me to run my hand through it.

I immediately pushed all images of Edward at the back of my mind.

Edward is a player. I shouldn't be thinking about him at all. He drops girls like they're shit and I can't go through anything like that. Not again...

Suddenly I heard some clear their throats from behind me. I quickly turned my head and internally groaned. Speaking of Masen...

"Hey, Bella, can I talk to you for a second?" He asked, looking a little bit awkward.

I looked in his eyes and answered. "Yeah, sure."

Edward made his way to the chair right in front of me. I decided to close the book on my lap and at least give him a few minutes to see what he wants.

"What can I do for you?" I asked as I imitated Ms. Cope, our secretary.

"I just wanted to talk to you about what happened...earlier."

"Oh." My eyes darted back to my book.

A few moments of silence past and I decided to just tell him what I thought and get it over with.

"Look, I'm sorry. I guess I got caught up in the moment. Really, it was just a mistake. You don't have to say anything about it anymore. We'll just put it past us." I said.

Meanwhile, I saw Edward's face sadden for a second before he weakly smiled. "Sure, I'll think nothing of it." He replied and walked out of the library.

Is it just me or did Edward Masen look nervous? I thought and then shook my head. Nah, it's just me.

Like before, I resumed the part where I stopped in Hamlet and continued to read it, that is until I heard another person clear their throats. I swear to God that is getting annoying.

I once more looked up but met the cold eyes of Rosalie Hale this time.

I sighed. "What do you want, Hale? I'm busy here."

Rosalie decided to take the seat where Edward sat in before he left and she still had a hard gaze at me.

"You know what I want." She gritted between her teeth.

"No I don't. Can you just please leave me alone? I want to finish the rest of this book in peace, if you don't mind." I asked and ignored her.

"No! I do mind!" Hale pounded the table with her left hand, making me jump in surprise.

"Fine. Just make it quick.. Masen already bothered me before, so get on with it."

"Well," She spat. "Edward is exactly the person I wanted to talk to you about."

I looked at her as if she was crazy. "Are you serious? If you're here to talk about him the whole time, I don't give a shit. Now get out of the damn library." I hissed in her direction.

Rosalie looked taken aback, but returned to her previous way. "Isabella, is it? Look, Isabella. You better listen to ever word I am about to say and grasp it. Stay away from Masen. He's mine. I would appreciate it if you back off. Like I said before, he's mine."

"I don't want Edward, Rosalie. He's all yours. But just to tell you, he made it pretty obvious that he didn't want you and you had an eye on Emmett for a while. What are you trying to pull?"

Hale stiffened and shifted her head to the left. "No one rejects me. Once Masen is out of the way, I'm going after Emmett."

I gave her a grimace. That was her plan.

"You really are a bitch."

"Maybe I am, but Edward would still much rather hang out with me." She fumed.

My heart broke a bit. Not because of her words, but because on how true they were.

"Is that all?" I asked sweetly as I took a shake breath to calm me down before any tears escaped my eyes.

"Pretty much."

"If you're done now, you can leave me the hell alone, Hale. I really don't feel like dealing with your jealous nature." I simple said and pointed the doors of the library.

"You...you..."

"Yes me, now get out." Rosalie stood up from her seat in haste and stomped out of the library.

(End of Flashback)

Since then, I immediately tried to stay as far away from Edward. What's the point of trying to fool myself? Like I told Alice when she interrupted us, he would never waste his time with me, and if he did, it'll just be a game.

Now, we were back in the classroom, waiting for everyone else to arrive before the principal does. I just hope they all get here soon, I honestly don't feel like getting another Saturday detention before we're done this one.

Just as I was saying, Edward and I heard hurried steps coming closer and closer to the door.

I smiled. Finally.

Without a moment to lose, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and- dare I say it- Rosalie took the exact same seat they were assigned to earlier in the morning. Alice was back to her emotionless stand, Jasper looked at me lazily, Emmett smiled a bit toward Rosalie and Rosalie started to shoot daggers at everyone, even Edward.

Principal Norton followed them a minute after with a woman walking right behind him. She must be his girlfriend.

"Firstly, I wanted to congratulate you all for not destroying any part of the school...unlike Mr. Newton who will be severely punished for his act."

I looked over at Jasper questionably and he mouthed out the words 'later'.

"And, I hope you all learned a valuable lesson today. Let's start off with Ms. Brandon. What did you learn today?" Principal Norton asked Alice.

"To fix up my car?" Alice asked and Principal Norton shook his head at her answer.

"Mr. Masen?"

"To beat the crap out of Mike the second I get out of here and never to defend Hale again."

Principal Newton shot Edward glares.

"Ms. Hale?"

"Same answer as Edward, make sure that Newton never has kids." Rosalie sneered.

"Mr. Whitlock?"

"Oh that's easy, never drink in Phyllis's class the day she actually has her glasses on?" Jasper joked and started to crack himself up just by seeing the look on our principal's face.

Principal Norton's girlfriend was rubbing both her hand on his back, trying to make him cool down before he starts yelling.

"Dare I say, Mr. McCarthy?"

"I've learned to pummel Yorkie to the ground and find myself another assistant?"

"Ms. Swan?"

"Bring my own books next time?"

Principal Norton gave out a huff. "You are all never going to learn? Are you? Are you?! I give up. If you all want to end up in jail at some point in your lives, then go right ahead. I won't stop. Now...Get out of here, detention is over." He yelled and fumed out of the classroom with a face as red as a tomato. Poor girlfriend, she had to followed him out, too. I pitied her in the situation she was in.

Quickly, I ran out the room, taking my bag with me, but not before Alice had to stop me just in front of the classroom door.

"Spill. Now!" was all she said before she started to pull me down the hallway, away from everyone else who where leaving.

"Spill what, Alice?" I asked Alice. To be truthful, I have a pretty good idea on what she wants to know, but I'm not going to let her know that easily.

"Don't play dumb with me, Bella." She hissed.

I took a deep breath. "Nothing happened, Al." We both started to walk to the school's main entrance.

Her eyes narrowed at my answer. She wasn't expecting my reply to be so short and simple "Don't you dare tell me that it was nothing. Hell, I saw yours, Edward's, and Rosalie's facial expressions and those did not yell nothing!" She yelled so I had to claps my hand to her mouth.

"Shush! Could you keep it down? I don't want everybody in Forks to know!" I said and removed my hand.

"Not funny. Tell me now before I go insane."

I giggled at her threat. "Like you aren't right now?" I giggled some more.

"Stop your laughing and talk, woman."

"Like I said before, nothing happened unless you call Edward coming to see me at the library 'something'"

Alice immediately stopped dead in her tracks. "What did you say?"

"Edward...came over to talk to me." I told her, and as soon as those words escaped my mouth, she started to squeal in happiness and bounced up and down to meet my walk.

"What did he want? What did he say? What did you say?" She ushered so fast that I almost comprehend a word she was saying.

"Whoa! Come down. He came by and brought up what happened earlier when you guys where in the vent, and I told him to just forget about it and put it past us." I said, but before I knew it, she started to poke my sides to so hard to i had to wince.

"What was the poke for?" I asked in anger.

"Well why did you tell him that for?" She shot back

I rolled my eyes at her immaturity. For someone as smart as her, she can act lie Emmett a little bit. "Look, Alice," I started "What happened between him and I, it doesn't prove anything. So let. It. Go." I explained.

She gave me an exasperated sigh. "Fine, but i won't let it go. What else happened?"

"Oh, Rosalie came by soon after Edward left me alone." Once again, Alice stopped dead in her tracks and her eyes turned cold, making me shutter.

"What did the big blonde bitch want now?"

"Well...she didn't want anything. She just told me to back away from 'her man'." I copied Rosalie's voice in the end.

Alice rolled her eyes and we both continued to move down the hallway. "Typical, Rosalie. No wonder she had some weird look when she mentioned you while she was saving us from the principal."

I laughed at loud at what she said. "You mean...Rosalie saved...you guys! Ha! I'm never going to let Jasper live that down." I managed to choke out those words between my fit of giggles. "Why did she?"

"Who knows? Wait; was Rosalie nice to you while having a conversation?" She asked and looked at me suspiciously.

"If you mean she didn't insult or yell at me in any way...then yeah. Why?"

"Damn! That girl is better than I thought. I'll have to catch her in the act in some other way." Alice muttered.

I was getting confused. What in the world was she talking about? "Uh, Alice. Clue me in, will you?"

"You don't know?"

I shook my head.

"Oh it's the funniest thing ever. Hale and I decided to have some sort of...bet. She'll have to be nice to anyone for a week, or she'll have to quit her precious squad. It'll be hilarious just to watch her cry over losing her majestic pom-poms and cheerleading uniform."

"You are truly diabolical." I said and shook my head slowly, in amusement.

"That's what Emmett said. Oh and if you were wondering where we were off, you would never believe it. We actually snuck into Principal Norton's office to pull another one of Emmett's master pranks. Basically, Emmett had this horrible plan before I suggested we take a box full of co- OMG! The cockroaches! We totally forgot about those!" Alice screeched and pulled out a few strands of her short hair.

"Alice! What's wrong?" I asked her.

"The cockroaches are still on his desk! We were going to throw them somewhere in the office, but they are still on his desk." She sounded worried and concerned.

"Well, it's too late now, Alice. Plus, he might not notice them until later on and he might blame it on someone else. Maybe, Mike Newton?" At my comment, Alice let out a shake breath.

"Yeah, I guess he's already in trouble because of Emmett, though."

"Ha. I wouldn't doubt it."

"Ummm...so..." She awkwardly said and started to play with her hands nervously. "Jasper, he's pretty cute."

I gasped out loud. "Alice!"

"Ok, fine! He's hot!" She shouted back.

"Alice!"

"OMG, Bella. The guy can make me swoon. He has a killer smile and incredible hair. Oh and his body, don't let me get started on his body..."

"Ewww, Alice, he's practically my brother." I whined and poked out my tong at her.

"So?"

"Fine. Why don't you just ask him out? He's free, trust me."

Alice looked distraught. "I really want to. But, there is a lot of reasons telling me not to ask him out."

"You can tell me, I got time." I reassured her as we arrived outside of the school's main entrance.

"Well, basically my-" Alice was cut short as a honk was sounded just from right in front of us. I looked away to see who was in the car and there was a woman, who looked exactly like Alice, but only had longer hair and was more likely in her late thirties.

"Sorry, Bella. That's my mom. I'll probably see you on Monday, ok?" Alice hugged me and gave me a smile before she got into the car and slumped in her seat. I also noticed that her mother gave me a pointed glare before she drove out of the parking lot.

Ok...weird?

I was about to turn around just when I hand gently touched my left shoulder. I jumped up at least two feet off the ground. I fully turned around and slapped Jasper's arm.

"What did I tell you yesterday? Stop trying to scare me." I hissed but he just laughed loudly right in my face.

"No can do. It's fun. So...did Brandon just leave?" He asked too casually.

"Yeah. Why do you care?"

"Umm. Well, Alice is pretty cute."

I froze up and started up giggling in his face this time. Wow, Jasper likes Alice. Who would have thought that he'd end up being interested in someone way smarter than him? Oh, that'd be perfect for teasing him later on.

"You like Alice?" I asked with utter seriousness.

He hesitated but ended up giving me one slight nod. Oh, they'll make such a cute couple.

"Wow, Jazz. Never knew you'd end up feeling something other than friendship for a girl." I teased and gave him a light punch on the arm.

"Well, I don't care. I'm not going to do anything about it anyway." He muttered and kicked a can on the floor.

"What? Why?"

"There... had been a lot of things going on in my life right now, Bella." He kicked the can more forcefully this time, and yelled in frustration for about a second.

"Jasper, what's been happening over at your house, lately?" I asked cautiously.

He turned back to face me and I noticed that there was a stray tear, rolling down his cheek. I immediately gave him a fierce a hug, exactly like how he used to do to me every time a balled when we were kids.

"Jasper, what's been happening?" I whispered and hugged him even tighter.

"I-I'll tell you soon, Bella. Just not right now, okay?"

I eyed him sceptically, but then nodded my head in agreement. "Did you call my dad so that he can come and pick us up?"

"Yes. He's coming in like ten minutes. You know, I actually miss your truck right about now. At least you could have actually driven it yourself." Jasper commented.

"Yeah, but, right now, Charlie took it away from me. Apparently, it's one of my 'punishments'. What about you? What were the damages at your house?"

I miss my red truck. I've had it for about two years and I simply loved it. Sure, it was old. But hey, it was a classic, too. I just can't believe Charlie took it away from me without a second thought. It's not like I committed a crime or anything.

"Oh, my parents don't know. Though, I can't drive my car anymore since my...dad has been using it to get to work lately." Jasper blurted out and started to stare at something else so that he can avoid my eyes. Something was definitely up with Jasper, but I won't hold anything against him. If he didn't want anyone to know or find out, I wouldn't pry.

"Ok, well- Oh Charlie is here!" I said and pulled him over to where Charlie was about to park. We both opened the doors of the cruiser. Jasper slide in the back and I was about to put my foot in until it slipped, which made me fall down on the seat.

Jasper started to laugh hysterically.

"I guess your clumsiness won't let you rest for a day, Bella." Jasper chuckled and I just ignored him, muttering s few curses under my breath.

I swear to God that my clumsiness is going to end up killing me one day. One way or another.

"Bells, what did you guys do today?" Charlie asked and shot me a side glance. I looked over at Jasper and raised my eyebrows questionably. Jasper shrugged and gave me a small smile.

"Um... Nothing out of consequence, dad." I replied, fiddling with my hands.

Charlie shook his head and chuckled. "Do I want to know?" He grumbled.

"No, probably not, pops." Jasper answered this time. I sighed.

I just hope Monday will go swimmingly.

I know that there wasn't something exciting in this chapter. But the whole chapter was about Edward, Rosalie and Bella in the library, and Bella knowing that Alice and Jasper might become a couple soon enough. Also, it was Bella all the way.

Please! Review! It'll make me happy! Also, I wanted to say that there is a poll on my user account, so if you guys want Alice or Rosalie to win the bet, go vote! But again, review please. :)
