Chapter 6: (Bella's P.O.V.)

*Multiple mention of drug usage in this chapter

"Lauren's been cheating on Tyler?" I asked Edward as we walked away from Lauren.

"Yes, she's been with Eric." replied Edward. "These humans," he said, obviously annoyed by the humans' thoughts. I sighed and put a comforting hand on his arm. Eric and Katie, we'd heard, were currently dating. These humans...

"Weedos!" we heard a human scream. I caught the scent of an unfamiliar human food-sort of a mix between the weed and some kind of chip. Doritos? Potato chips? Cheetos? I didn't know.

"Edward, what are Weedos?" I asked.

He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "The ideas these humans come up with." he muttered. "Weedos are Cheetos with weed in them." I froze with shock momentarily.

"Cheetos! With weed!" I exclaimed. "Why?!"

"I don't know, love. It's just what these humans do." replied Edward. "Oh, Jessica's coming to offer me some."

Jessica, as Edward had predicted, came up to us with a bag of Weedos in her hand. I could smell the disgusting scent of them-a combination of cheese and pot. "Hey, Edward. Want some Weedos?" she said.

I noticed she only talked to Edward and not to me. "No, thank you." said Edward quickly. "Hey, you look like Robert Pattinson in that movie." said Jessica.

"What?" asked Edward, mystified.

"Um, you know. He looks just like you!" said Jessica. "I mean like, you totally look like Robert Pattinson from the movie The Lost City of Z! She got a Weedo from the bag and ate it.

"Um, okay. Hey, I think I see Mike over there." I said pointing towards where Mike was.

"Mike? Oh, I should go. Bye, Edward!" said Jessica, already leaving.

"Mike's going to propose to Jessica. Want to watch?" asked Edward.

"But...I thought he was gonna propose to Lauren." I said, shocked.

"Yes, he did. Lauren refused, so now Mike is going to propose to Jessica because he is just that desperate not to be single." explained Edward. I blinked.

"Wow."

"Yes, Mike is crazy." said Edward. "Do you want to watch?"

"Um, sure, I guess." I replied. Edward and I walked to the cafeteria exit, where Mike and Jessica were outside. I wondered idly if Jessica would accept-she seemed to love Mike.

"Jessica, I love you. I've loved you ever since I first saw you. Will you marry me?" asked Mike. I frowned slightly. That was basically the same thing he'd said to me when he proposed to me. Was Mike just basically using the same proposal for every woman he proposed to?

"OMG YES!" Jessica squealed, jumping up and down with excitement. Mike smiled and kissed her, which soon evolved into a heavy make out session.

"Ugh. Edward, Do you want to get away from here?" I asked.

"Yes. Definitely." said Edward. Edward and I went over to the tables, which had giant bowls of weed (and now Weedos) on them.

"WE'RE GONNA BE MARRIED!" yelled Jessica, coming into the cafeteria after she and Mike were finished with their make-out session. The cafeteria was silent for a second while the humans absorbed the news.

"OMG! That's some awesome! Are you gonna invite me to the wedding!?" shouted Lauren. Everybody swarmed around Mike and Jessica, congratulating them on their engagement.

"I suppose we should go and congratulate them." suggested Edward.

"Sure, sure." I said, chuckling slightly as I realized that I used Jacob's favorite phrase. Edward and I headed to congratulate Mike and Jessica, who took their cups and put some liquor in it (I can't resist putting some Bruno Mars lyrics in there).

"Hey Jess, I'm so happy you're gonna be Mike's husband!" I said to Jessica.

Jessica stared at me suspiciously. "Um, thanks." she said hesitantly. I heard Edward hiss under his breath and guessed that Jessica's thoughts were annoying him.

"Well, when's the wedding?" I asked.

"Um…"Jessica trailed off. "Well, we haven't decided yet." Jessica looked uncomfortable.

"Weed beer!" someone shouted.

"OMG WEED BEER! I gotta go, Bella, bye!" shouted Jessica. She grabbed Mike, who was talking with Tyler, Eric, and Lauren, and dragged him toward the direction of the shout.

"Why did Jessica rush off after I asked about their wedding?" I asked Edward. "I mean, it's not like I said anything about Mike using almost the exact same proposal for both of us, and probably Lauren, too. I-"

Edward shook his head. "No, love, it's not that. Jessica just doesn't want to invite us to her wedding." said Edward quickly.

I froze in shock. "What? Why?" I asked when I was finally able to speak.

"Jessica...dislikes us. She's jealous that you're my wife and that she's not." said Edward. "Her cruel thoughts of jealousy are heavily tempting me to rip out her throat."

"What? Really? Jessica?" I asked. "I thought it was just Lauren that didn't like me. Wait...why doesn't she like you?"

"She thinks I'm being...stupid to not choose her as my wife. That's all she ever thinks, besides Mike and weed." Edward said angrily. I touched my hand to his perfect face.

"Oh, come on, Edward, don't be upset." I pleaded, trying to calm him.

Edward grimaced. "Ugh, the thoughts she's having now… it wouldn't be that noticeable if I strangled her..."

"Edward…please don't kill Jessica. I mean, Mike would be mad, and-" We both heard the sound of rubber on gravel-the sound of a car driving into the Forks High School parking lot. "Who's that?" I asked Edward. He was distracted from his ideas of killing Jessica.

"It's Angela and Ben. They're late because they had to fly in from Chicago, and their flight was delayed." said Edward. Angela and Ben had married just five years after us, after they'd graduated from Washington State. They'd moved to Chicago after they both got a job working for a computer company. "It's funny that their home is right by the house I lived in when I was human."

We heard Angela and Ben get out of their car and walk towards the cafeteria. The cafeteria door opened. "Hey guys! We're sorry we're late." said Ben, closing the door.

"Oh hey Ben, hey Angela! Guess what, Mike and I are engaged!" shouted Jessica. She took a Weedo out of her Weedo bag and ate it.

"What...Jess...are you eating...Weedos?" stuttered Angela.

"Yeah. Want some?" offered Jessica, eating another Weedo. "Um, no thanks, Jess. Are you high or something?" asked Angela.

"Is that a box of cigarettes in your pocket?" asked Ben.

"Yeah" Jess said, pulling it out. "You want some?"

"No, no, no. No please. We don't drink or smoke. Especially since Angela is newly pregnant." Ben said. Everyone that heard gasped and began to gossip. I turned to Edward, sighing. Why do these humans have to be so nosy?" I asked.

"I don't know, love." He answered, sighing too.
