Chapter 7

Bella's POV

When I had woken up that morning Michael had texted me saying if instead of lunch we could have breakfast together because during his break he needed to work on a project with his partner. I told him yes of course and I quickly got ready and put on what Alice had laid out for me on the bed. It was beautiful it was a light blue capsleeve lace top from Forever 21 with some light blue jeans.

"Awe have fun with you lover boy" said Alice as I walked out smiling to meet Michael. I went downstairs to meet him and saw that I was a little bit early but to my surprise he was already there sitting down eating some pancakes. He got up from his chair and gave me a hug and then kissed me softly on the lips. I smiled at him and sat down across from him.

"So I was thinking maybe on Tuesday night we could go on another date" said Michael after we had ordered out breakfast.

"Okay…" I smiled "What do you want to do?"

"How about bowling?"

I laughed remembering the countless accidents I had gone through when I went bowling with Renee when she was going through her bowling phase. "I'm a dangerous bowler"

He chuckled and looked at me amusingly "Dangerous?"

"Yeah last time I almost hit someone with the bowling ball and let's just say after that I'm not allowed to bowl anymore…..I really suck at it maybe we should do something else"

"No way! I want to see you….I guess I'll be ducking when you go up to bowl…" I slapped him playfully on the shoulder "Sorry but I don't feel like dying at such a young age."

I frowned and crossed my arms "I would never hurt you purposefully"

"I'm sure you wouldn't Bella but accidents do happen and I like having ten toes" he said with a playful smile.

After having breakfast with him he walked me to my math class. I wish I could've stayed with him and learn more about him then to go inside there. Math was just starting and I was already having trouble understanding the problems. I should've taken MAT034 it was high school math and would've been so easy but no to major in Biology you have to go all the way up to Calculus.

"I'll text you" I told him "after I get out of math class"

"Why not during math class?" he asked me.

"Because I can barely keep up as it is"

"Oh I would help but I don't have to take math for my major"

"Lucky you" I said "Well I should get inside"

"Yeah don't want you to be late" he kissed me on the cheek "Have fun"

"Oh I definitely will" I said sarcastically as I opened the door.

After math I had a huge headache. I would have to get myself a tutor for math or I would fail that class, we were going to have a quiz next week so I would need one know. This girl from my math class told me not to even bother with the Tutoring Center because the tutors never have enough time to actually teach you a lesson and you practically are struggling to keep their attention because they're trying to help everyone else at the same time. So that meant only option I would have to find a cheap tutor because I didn't have enough money to pay for a real one—I just needed to find someone.

I decided that I needed to relax and remembered about the pianist who was playing so perfectly and decided to go through there to see if the mystery person was playing. When I reached the hall I heard the melodies this time he was playing the River Flows in you. I smiled and closed my eyes as I sat on the floor cross-legged to listen to the masterpiece. When the person stopped playing I snapped my eyes open getting ready to run if I had too but luckily he began playing but this time I didn't know the song at all but it sounded very depressing and then the notes went angrier and angrier. Usually something this disturbing I would change the song but I stayed and listened to this person's grief. I glanced at my clock I had almost been here for 30 minutes listening to the person play and it only felt like a few minutes. I really wanted to meet the mystery person I wondered what would happen if I knock? Or should I just keep the illusion?

I decided that an illusion was way better and got up it was time to get to my next class Bio lab. When I got there I sat down on a stool while the professor discussed what we would be doing on today's lab which would be watching slides through a microscope and we had to guess which phase in the Cell Cycle were they going through. I took out my notes from BIO lecture and began flipping through the slides most of the time it was very easy

"Hi" I glanced up and there was this brunette girl and dark brown eyes with tan skin, she gave me a small smile.

"Hey" I said with a small smile.

"Are you Bella Swan?"

I nodded "Yeah why?"

"Just that a lot of people are talking about you"

"About??"

"You and Cullen—the way you treat him and stuff it's really funny"

"Oh" I didn't know what else to say….was this girl one of his lovers? Maybe, she's really pretty.

"Yeah I was just curious so I had to ask you're definitely a hero for a lot of girls in campus for standing up to him. Not a lot of girls have that courage or that restraint to say no to Edward Cullen"

"So I've heard….What's your name?"

"Leah Clearwater"

After Biology I went over and met with the group to eat dinner in the café.

"So lovebird where is your boy toy?" asked Emmett

"I don't know I texted him but he hasn't texted me back I guess he's busy working on that project" I told them with a small frown.

"Honey" said Rosalie "You better make sure he realizes that you're way more important then some project"

"Yeah it only takes like 10 sec. to text back" added Alice

"Losing brownie points" said Jasper smiling.

"Guys stop it! It's not like we're going out we went out on one day that's it" I said defending Michael. I knew he had an excuse and even if he didn't it didn't even matter we weren't together or anything like that.

"But you like him" said Rose

"Yeah I'm starting too but that doesn't mean anything Rosalie"

"It means something in my world" said Emmett "If he doesn't treat you right I'll kill him"

"Em" I said shaking my head "I don't want you going to prison for killing some guy"

"Well if he hurt you he deserves it" said Emmett.

"Yeah and we'll totally help" said Rosalie smiling

"Yeah we can all wear black outfits it'll be so much fun" said Alice.

"You guys are impossible!!" I said laughing.

After we ate dinner together the couples went their separate ways and I decided to head back to the dorm to cram my head with mathematics.

"Bella" I knew that voice by now and I turned around and there he was smiling at me

"Edward"

"Where are you in such a hurry too?"

"To learn algebra"

"Algebra?" he arched his eyebrow and his smile got bigger "You can't do algebra"

"Nope" I said shaking my head.

"But it's so simple I mean there is only correct answer it's not like science where it gets all complex"

"Well I like science better" I told him.

"If you want I could help you I'm taking Pre-Calculus right now and I got an A in Algebra"

"Really? An A" I asked him.

"Yeah if you don't believe me we could personally speak with Termine she loves me"

"That's my professor…well I don't think you could tutor me I'm sure Alice wouldn't like it and I can't really afford you as a tutor anyways unless $5 an hour seems good to someone as rich as you"

"I would do it for free since it is for you" said Edward "and Alice doesn't have to find out it can be our little secret"

"I'm not going to lie to my best friend…..I rather tell her the truth"

"Then you'll let me tutor you?"

"I don't know….I mean it's you"

He laughed "Why thank you…how about if I promise not to hit on you while I'm tutoring on you, then would you agree?"

I shrugged my shoulders "I don't know I would have to think about it"

"Oh come on you need me and I'm for free. I don't mind being used by such a beautiful girl"

We walked into Palms Hall now and went inside the elevator---Should I let him tutor me? I mean I don't like the guy most of the time he's a jerk and a pig but I really am desperate plus he did prove to me that he can be nice and then there's that whole I feel sorry for him feeling.

"Fine I guess I have nothing to lose"

He smiled "Thank you, you won't regret it"

"I better not. But we start now"

"Now?" He glanced at his watch biting his lip

"If you have something else to do then go" I told him

"No, no you're more important" he said quickly.

"Okay" I opened the room and took out the materials I needed. "I need help with all of this"

"This is the first chapter Bella"

"I know" I said a little annoyed "it's supposed to be the easiest or whatever but I still don't understand it so instead of criticizing me, teach me"

"All righty then, a little feisty I see" said Edward.

The rest of the afternoon I spend with Edward Cullen what impressed me the most is that he knew exactly like he was talking about and sounded so smart, I felt even stupider. Sometimes he would talk with math terminology that I would just nod even though I had no idea what he was saying and he would end up smiling like if he understood that I was completely lost and explaining it in a much more simpler manner. I had to admit Edward Cullen knew his material and he kept his promise and didn't try any moves on me.

"Good job Bella" he said smiling at me "Homework is officially done"

"Finally" I slammed my book shut "Thanks you're a pretty good tutor"

"I know what can say I'm good at everything" I felt like that had double meaning to it by the way he had smiled at me and raised his eyebrows. "And don't say that I'm not supposed to flirt with you because we're done"

"Right….then you should get going"

"That's really nice of you Bella just use me and then kick me out. We really are made for one another my beautiful Bella if you would just realize that"

"Out" I said pointing towards the door with a small smile. Edward wasn't that bad I guess.

He got off from the chair "So mean…"

Then Alice walked in and looked at Edward then at me then at Edward again before giving him a deathly glare "Why are you bothering her again?"

"I wasn't I was helping her with her math homework" said Edward

"He was—I was desperate and he's free"

"Well looks like you're done tutoring her so you can go Edward" said Alice.

"Fine….nice seeing you sis….Later Bella" He looked at me and winked and then walked away closing the door on his way out.

"Are you mad? Because I really need help with Math and no one can help me and he's actually pretty good I actually understood something today" I said.

Alice sighed "Go ahead let him tutor you. Edward already lost you're with someone already someone way better then my brother"

"Yeah about him….he hasn't texted me back at all."

"He hasn't?" Alice arched her eyebrow "That's just strange I mean its 8:45 already"

"Yeah…..I guess I'll just look for him tomorrow"

"Yeah I guess….he better have a good explanation though"

"Hope so"

Edward's POV

After tutoring Bella I went straight to Lauren's sorority house where I'm sure she was furious. I had promised her to help her plan the Black and white party that our brother and sisterhood were planning.

"Where the hell were you? I've been waiting for 2 hours" yelled Lauren.

"Sorry I got caught up with time"

"Time? Time? What the hell is important then me?"

Everything else I thought. I smiled and grabbed her hand "Oh come on don't think of it like that Lauren I was really busy helping someone I'm really sorry but we can start now"

"Where were you?"

"Somewhere" I tried staying polite but she was really insistent.

"Exactly where though Edward and don't lie to me because I will find out"

"Fine I was with a girl"

Lauren threw her pen across the room "You ditched me for a girl? I'm way better then any other girl you ever slept with we're perfect for each other Edward when are you going to realize that"

I sighed sitting down in a chair knowing this was going to be a long night "Lauren I already told you I don't want a girlfriend and I don't care about you like that. I just want you so please get that stupid fantasy off your head"

"No, because it will happen, Edward one day you'll realize it"

"It won't and you're getting on my nerves so we should start with the plans"

"Who was it?"

"None of your business" I said through clenched teeth. I had a fun relaxing day with Bella and here she was ruining my day with her stupid thoughts.

"Tell me!" she demanded.

I got up "This is useless if we're not going to talk about the party planning then I'll leave" She shrieked and I plugged my ears—God could this girl be any more annoying. "Guess that's a sign to go from now on Tyler will be helping you plan the party. Have a nice night Lauren" As I walked away I heard her scream even louder.

When I got back to the fraternity I noticed that all the fraternity brothers were in the living room and Emmett was standing in the podium. Last time I checked meetings had to be scheduled through me I mean I was president for a reason so what if I haven't been the best these last few days I could still do my job—I crossed my arms at the arch of the doorway waiting for an explanation it better be a good one.

"Edward I'm not trying to steal your thunder if that's what you think" said Emmett

"Then what exactly are you doing?" I asked him

"We were all waiting for you I have something important to say and since you're never home I thought this was the best way to do it"

"Fine then meeting adjourned talk"

Emmett smiled "All of you already know that I have a girlfriend Rosalie well we're pretty serious and I want to do the pinning tradition with her."

I smiled "Wow I wasn't expecting that one"

"You're going to marry Rose" said Tyler "Why you already sleep with her what's the point of pinning her unless you want to get married"

"Dude you want to get married! You are only 20" said Henry laughing.

Emmett growled "I love Rose and I'm not saying I want to get married now but soon yeah"

"You're crazy" shouted Tyler taking a sip of his beer

"Hey all of you shut up" I commanded and I walked over to Emmett putting my hand on his shoulder "Congrats Em! Anyways since we're a fraternity we will support his decision no matter how dumb we think it is everyone got that? Em pick the date when you want to do the ceremony and everyone will be dressed and attend like the brothers we are" I said.

"Okay I'll get back to you on that" said Em

"Now to change topics" I said "Our next community project is coming soon so make no plans for next Sunday we're going to be going to the hospital"

"Oh man I have a date that night" complained Tyler

"Well looks like you're going to have to re-schedule" said Emmett "Unless we happen to miraculously finish early but I doubt that. Remember for our football players that we do have practice every day this week"

Some people groaned in response to that.

"All right anything else you guys wanted to talk about?" I asked them.

"Well yeah tomorrow is the meeting for all possible candidates and I just wanted to know what our jobs were going to be?" asked Mike.

"Right…." I said slowly "I'll have a sheet posted up tomorrow morning by the fridge I have to think about it and the rules I expect everyone to read it tomorrow. I'm tired so I'm going upstairs so meeting adjourned"

Everyone went off to their rooms or back to the living room or kitchen some even left somewhere outside. I went upstairs to go to my room I had some homework to do and I just wanted to sleep in my own bed tonight alone. I know big shocker there!

"Eddie" said Emmett from behind me I didn't even bother to turn around

"Emmie" I said annoyed sheez it so hard to call me by my name.

"Did you just call me Emmie? That's a girl's name" said Emmett

"Well then stop calling me Eddie"

"Fine" he grumbled "I just wanted to say that it's tough but I'm sure Esme will turn out to be a pretty good wife and stepmother"

I sighed "Sure"

"Yeah and you shouldn't give Carlisle or Esme or Alice such a hard time"

"Yeah"

"And for a person who wants to be a doctor and is president of the fraternity you should learn how to be more verbose in bad situations"

"I am" I growled "Can I go to my room now or is there something else you need to say?"

"There is so much stuff but go ahead get some rest it looks like you need it"

"Yeah…Good night Emmett"

"Good night Edward"

I entered my room and took out my phone there were 3 missed calls from Lauren and 5 text messages from her begging me to take her back and that she was completely sorry. There was also one text tom Tanya telling me that she wanted to meet for lunch tomorrow. I quickly texted her back saying yes and started on my homework.

The following day I woke up earlier then usual because I had this strange dream or nightmare it was weird—I was lost walking and walking but it was like I was going nowhere and then there was this light and I tried chasing it but I just couldn't. Like I said strange.

I took a shower and got dressed and headed down to Palms Hall to visit Bella. I lightly knocked on the door and was surprised to see that someone had opened it so quickly and it was in fact Bella her hair was wet she looks like she had just gotten off the shower she looked quite adorable.

I smiled at her "Good Morning Bella"

"Um Hi Edward what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to help with you math homework you see I was thinking last night that if I over viewed the lesson you would learn the next day that maybe just maybe you'll understand it a little better when Professor Termine teaches is that way I can just review with you what you didn't understand"

"I see….It sounds like a good idea Edward but I have to eat breakfast and then head straight to class plus I don't have math today but tomorrow and…"

I interrupted her "I don't know if tomorrow I can help you I have Student Council meeting tomorrow after class and then after that I have to stay longer talking with the Director of the University and some other people about the Homecoming Dance we do every year very long process."

"Oh" She bit her lip hesitantly "I guess then today even though I kind of wanted to do something but I guess it can wait. Education does come first…just give me like 5 minutes" Then she opened the door wider to let me in I walked in and I could hear that Alice was showering. Bella sat down on a chair in front of the dresser and began putting on some make-up on her even though she didn't need it at all. She just had that natural beauty to her….now that I think about she is probably one of the most prettiest girls I had ever seen.

"We'll just eat breakfast while I tutor you I wouldn't want you to faint during class"

"Okay Edward" Then she brushed her hair quickly and put on some flip-flops and grabbed her tote bag "Alice" she called loudly

"Yeah"

"I'm going to eat with Edward for math okay"

"All right" she yelled back "Tell that dummy I say hi"

"Hi Pixie" I yelled back at her I could hear her giggling in the shower. "Shall we?"

"Guess so"

When we reached downstairs everyone was staring at us guys were giving me thumbs-up thinking that I had finally slept with her if only they knew that I was not even close. Bella got some toast with hash browns and bacon while I got pancakes and bacon then we grabbed a table in the corner near the windows.

"All right so all you have to do is make these two equal so that you could cancel the denominator"

"Right…" She did what I said slowly taking her time and I just watched her forehead crease together as she thought what to do next "Don't tell me I want to get this" she looked adorable when she was thinking hard. After 20 minutes of me tutoring her I decided she needed break

"We'll stop here I don't want to overload you with info"

"But I was just getting the hang of it"

"We'll do some on Wednesday just try and do the homework and the problems you don't get I'll help you with"

"Okay" she shut her book "and thanks again"

"You don't have to thank me for doing this I told you I don't mind helping you anything to get a little closer to you Bella"

"Edward" she said "why can't you realize that I'm not going to fall for you"

"Because you eventually will I can be patient when I want to be"

She rolled her eyes "I hope you enjoy disappointment Edward because you're never going to have me and you know I don't understand why you even want me I'm not that special"

"Why do you say that?"

"Well I'm just a regular teenager Edward I'm not a genius, or a runway model, or funny I'm just pretty ordinary"

"You honestly don't see your self very well then you're everything but ordinary you're beautiful Bella and feisty and you're smart maybe not in math but you're smarter then most girls here. You're also stubborn like me and….did I mention you're beautiful"

Bella laughed "Yes you mentioned that already….but that doesn't make me special Edward there are many other girls who are beautiful and feisty and smart"

"Maybe but I'm not as interested in them as I am with you"

"But you're not interested in me Edward you just want to sleep with me there's a difference"

"Okay I admit there is but…..why won't you? I mean you'll have a good time"

She shook her head smiling "Because I'm not going to sleep around with some guy and because I don't like you"

"You don't even think I'm handsome or anything?" If she didn't think I was good looking that would really hurt me ego I mean she must be blind or a lesbian then if she doesn't realize that much.

"Well you are handsome you know that better then anyone else and you always use it to your advantage but looks aren't everything there's more to love then looks"

"But I don't want love I don't need it"

"Maybe you do need it and you just don't want to admit it"

"I don't"

"Sure whatever you say Cullen"

"I don't Bella we've talked about this before I like having sex with girls that's it no commitment no nothing…that's me and that's who I will always be. I'm not going to change for some girl who's probably some gold-digger or a whore"

"Not all girls are like that" she said in a serious tone.

"So they say but how do you know if they're really telling the truth"

"And how do you know if they're lying if you don't even give them a chance"

"Well…I don't and I don't want to know"

"Do you think I'm a gold digger or a whore?"

"I don't know maybe"

"What?" she asked outraged.

"Well I'm being honest you could be I mean the people who look the most innocent are always the one who betray you the hardest"

"Is that what you expect of me?"

"I don't know" My brain was telling me that she would eventually let me down just like every other girl that she would prove to be no different but there was a small tiny part in my guy that told me she wasn't the same.

"So you want me so much that you're willing to take the risk of me being one of those things and hurting you just because you want to have sex with me"

"I'm not taking the risk because sex is just sex and letting you in is completely different just because I have sex with you doesn't mean I care about you and suddenly your actions affect me. "

She furrowed her eyebrows like if she was thinking about something very hard and then she sighed "I don't know what to tell you anymore Edward I guess you won't understand what I'm talking about until you actually fall in love then maybe you'll understand what it feels like to be hurt"

"If that happens" I corrected.

"When it happens….I have to go Edward my class is about to start"

"Okay I'll see you around Bella"

"Bye" she walked away.

Bella's POV

I walked over to my English classroom and sat down way in the back after a few seconds Alice walked in and sat down next to her

"How was the tutoring session?"

"It was good I learned a lot…." I told her "Edward and I talked afterwards"

"Oh about what?"

"I don't understand him Alice how could he be so….I can't even describe the word of what he is…it's just frustrating sometimes seeing how he behaves"

"Tell me about it I'm sure Edward has slept with more then 50 women"

"It's kind of sad Alice I'm beginning to feel sorry for him"

"Don't" she said "He chose that lifestyle and enjoys it"

"Maybe but maybe he thinks it's the right thing to do for him the easy way out you know like it's the only way he won't get hurt"

"By being a man slut?"

"Yes"

"I think you're thinking too much into this"

"Maybe I am" I said.

After class Alice and I split up she went to her second class and I went to Michael's dorm room I knew at this time he had break and I really wanted to see what was up with him; I mean if he didn't like me anymore then just tell me but don't ignore me like that. I didn't even have to knock on his door because Michael had opened it himself when he saw me he frowned

"Bella I was just about to go looking for you actually"

"Well looks like I beat you to it"

"Yeah you did….Well I guess I should go right ahead and say it I think we should be friends. I had a really great time with you Bella but I don't think I'm ready for a relationship yet there's too much problems going on right now"

"Don't give me that bull. Michael, just say you're not interested in me"

"It's not bull I really do like you but we can't be together right now my future is depending on it"

"You're such a liar but whatever….just don't talk to me"

"But Bella I want to be friends with you"

"But I don't Good Bye Michael"

"Bella" he called as I kept on walking towards the café. I saw Leah sitting down by herself eating a pizza so after grabbing a pizza myself I sat down across from her

"Hey" I said

"Hey Bella you look a little sad, is something wrong?"

"I hate men" I sighed loudly "Why can't they just cut the bull and be honest for once"

"Michael broke up with you" But it wasn't a question it was a statement.

"How did you know that? I didn't even know you knew him"

"He's my partner for one of our classes" she said slowly "I...um...I think I should tell you something Bella"

"Okay what is it?"

"Well it's about the real reason why Michael decided to break things off with you. You see Michael's dream is to join Alpha Delta Gamma and let's say that Edward Cullen went by his room the other night and told him that you were his and that if he wanted a spot in the fraternity that he had to stop seeing you"

I couldn't believe what Leah was telling me—Edward had made Michael stop talking to me and Michael just listened just like that, what an asshole! I'm glad Edward manipulated that idiot to stop seeing me, that guy did not deserve me one bit. To leave me for a stupid chance at a sorority knowing Edward he won't even keep his word. What an idiot!!

"Um are you okay?" asked Leah worriedly.

"I'm fine just shocked"

"You're not angry with Edward or Michael for doing that to you?"

"Yeah with Michael completely and I am mad at Edward and trust me he'll get something in Gym later on but not as mad as I am with Michael"

"I know what people do for popularity"

"Yeah….Wow….to think I was starting to like him"

"I know you deserve way better" said Leah with a small smile "So what will you be doing to Edward Cullen because I'm fascinated by the things you do to him"

I smiled "I don't know I think I'm in too much of a shock that I don't really feel right now if that makes any sense….He's tutoring me for free and he's good at it I mean I don't know if I can afford to be angry with him right now'

I walked into the Gym lockers and quickly changed and walked over to the Guy's side of the locker room. I sat down cross legged on the floor when the door opened and a lot of guys walked out.

"Edward is sleeping with Bella" Tyler told Mike

"Really?" asked Mike "I thought he couldn't get her"

"He's having sex with her"

"He told you that?"

"Pretty much" said Tyler smiling "That guy can get any girl to sleep with him"

"You got that right" they both continued walking to the basketball courts. I let out a little scream of frustration I couldn't help it he told them we were having sex!!! That does it!!!

After patiently waiting the ASSHOLE himself came outside smiling

"Edward" I hissed as I approached him.

"Oh Hey Bella" he said in a friendly tone. Right, time to take off that cocky smile off of his stupid pretty little face I walked straight up to him and slapped him as hard as I could right in the face.

"DAMN" yelled someone.
