Song: DON'T TRUST ME by 3OH!3

Enjoy!


Previously:

"So you think this funny?" she nodded while she let a few more sounds of laughter fill the bathroom. "We'll see about that..." I briskly walked up to her like a predator when hunting on his prey. If possible, Bella's eyes widened even further and not from her amusement of seeing me in a ladies bathroom. Bella quickly turned around trying to scramble into the nearest stall but I was too quick for her. I grabbed her by her waist encircling my long arms around her waist and picked her up making her gasp in surprise.

Not noticing the small puddle of the water on the ground, my foot slipped making us both tumble down to the ground, bringing Bella down on top of me pushing her hard against me, making our lips touch and connect. My cold lips met Bella's warm ones as we were in a major lip lock neither one of us breaking the sudden connection. It all happened so fast, and when we broke apart I heard the door opening and closing and someone inhaling a sharp breath.

I looked up from Bella and our compromising position, gasping myself.

"We can explain..."

***

Our table was already full and there was only one spot left.

Edward Cullen's seat.

I wonder who he is? I snorted to myself and made my way to my ususal seat. I was once again beside Bella, who was busy talking about the dance group with all the other girls. The guys were all talking about football practice that was in an hour. I groaned quietly, because I knew I wouldn't be throwing any footballs or scoring any touch downs in my current predicament. Everyone was engrossed in their own little conversations except for Alice. From the other side of the table under Jasper's arm she was looking at me with clear understanding in her small hazel eyes. I hated that look. Her gaze was a little unnerving, the same unnerving feeling I felt in the bathroom earlier.

***

Bella scrambled up from her position on top of me, pushing herself to the far wall, far away from me. This made me a little sad, but I turned around to face the wrath.

"No explaining needed, guys you know how close that was?" Alice said, her hands holding onto her hips trying to make herself look more menacing than she really was. "You two are so lucky that it wasn't Lauren or Jessica that walked into the bathroom to see you guys pressed up against each other on the disgu–"

I cut her off, "–thanks Alice, we promise not to get caught again like that" I looked over at Bella waiting for her to catch my gaze but her eyes were wandering everywhere except where I was.

Alice just huffed and nodded. "Yeah, um, sorry Alice, I'm just going to, um, go now. Yeah. See you two at lunch for the rest of the dare." She quickly made her way out of the bathroom, still not looking at me.

What the fuck.

Alice looked over at me, her face still sceptical, I just shrugged, "Hey, I just really had to go to the bathroom and then Bella came in, and then..." I smirked.

Alice just shook her head, "You took a little too long going to the bathroom, and I thought something happened so I decided to check on you. Good thing I did." I nodded. The bell was probably going to ring soon for lunch since it was already second period so I decided to make my way to the cafeteria so I could get this messed up dare over with.

But before I could leave Alice called for me again, "Edward wait."

Since she said my real name it must have been something important so I turned around to face her, "Yeah?"

She was looking at me but I don't think she really was looking at me. She had a far away look on her face and her eyes were slightly glazed over and she looked thoughtful before smiling at me.

"You and Bella aren't really dating."

I choked at the way she said it. It was more of a statement than a question. What was I supposed to say to that? Oh yeah I'm fake dating my best friend just to keep other crazy girls away but in reality I'm totally in love with her.

Nope, not awkward at all.

I sighed, there was no point in lying to her. I'm just surprised that she didn't figure it out earlier.

"How did you know?"

Alice looked a little insulted at what I said. What? Was it that obvious? Did everyone know? Now I was starting to panic.

"Well when you guys would touch each other, you would always seem so hesitant. And when you kissed it would be like you two would be asking each other or feeling cautious about the other person. Then today, covered my suspicions when Bella was quick to leave and didn't even look at you. I just knew something wasn't right."

"Oh." oh? Was that really all I could say? I'm so stupid. Of course Bella left without looking at me, she probably felt uncomfortable with what just happened. Just because I'm in love with her and I'm okay with everything doesn't mean she is.

Shit...

"Oh yeah." Alice responded, smirking while all I could do was frown. Now what was I supposed to do?

Alice wasn't finished talking, but she definitely sobered when she spoke her next words carefully, "Edward, do you have feeling for Bella?" I sighed, there was no use in hiding anymore from Alice, she already knew a lot.

"Yes I do, Alice." I let out a frustrated breath, "...but's it's definitely a unrequited love." I let my head hang.

I snapped my head up when I heard a high squeal echo through the walls of the bathroom, "What?" Alice ignored me and started jumping and clapping her hands every couple of seconds.

What the heck ?

Alice stopped jumping and landing right in front of me, "My god Edward, your in love with her!" Fuck...did I say love...

I let out a nervous chuckle and swept my hands through my hair a couple of times, "uh, yeah...did I say love?," my hand started going through my hair double time, "Yeah, I love her." I made it sound like a question, but in reality I was only nervous to be admitting it to Alice of all people.

Alice stood there with her hands on her hips, the fiery demeanor back once again. She raised one of her eyebrows, "You either love her or you don't."

"I love her." Anyone could hear the finality in my voice.

Her expression changed from fiery to cheerful almost instantly, and I myself almost cracked a smile. Almost.

"Good, well that's that." She turned around and started walking towards the exit of the bathroom. Hold up...

"That's that?" Alice turned around and raised her eyebrows at me again.

She feigned confusion, I could see it, "What ever do you mean?" She was going to make me say it.

"Well..."

She mimicked my lower voice, "Well?"

I pulled at the hair on the side of my head and cursed lowly, "IneedyourhelptomakeBellamyrealgirlfriendandtellherIloveherandmaybeshe'lllovemetoo" I knew Alice caught that, she was the queen of talking quick. Besides, I wasn't going to talk any slower, didn't want to waste more than one breath to ask.

Alice closed her eyes and fucking smiled, "And..." She was going to make me say it. Fuck.

"Oh Wonderful Alice the goddess of the mystic will you...please help me?" I mumbled the last part.

"Only because you said please." I chuckled humourlessly. "Can you really help me Alice?" I wanted to know if she could actually help me with all this, because I know I can't do it by myself. I didn't even know where to begin.

Alice opened her eyes and nodded, "Edward, you know when I put my mind to something I always give my 110%. This is no different, but I do have my advantages, Bella is one of my best friends."

"So what? I can say the same thing, she's my best friend too." Alice shook her head and mumbled something that I didn't catch.

"..But would she confide with you if she had feelings for you?–" there was a dramatic pause, on Alice's part, I knew better than to talk. "–Dito"

"Whatever." I grumbled. The bell actually rang this time, signalling everyone it was time for lunch. Alice walked beside me down the aisle, laughing quietly to herself. "What?"

She shook her head and looked me up and down, "I love the look Elizabeth...it's so you." I scoffed, I actually had forgotten about my dare, and especially how I was dressed. I was preoccupied with much larger problems, but this problem resurfaced again and to my knowledge this problem was the first one I had to take care of, and as soon as possible. I groaned a little at the fact that I still had to complete the other half of my dare. Making friends would be a piece of cake her brain was practically made of the same substance as cake, full of mush.

The hard part...

Hitting on a guy in my group was going to feel wrong, gay, dirty, unsteady, disgusting, and most of all fearful. Sure, I knew exactly how to hit on girl, and with a few girls here and there hitting on me I caught the gist of how to do it.

Cross your arms to push up your cleavage. Fuck. I don't have a cleavage.

Bite your lip. Not a bad idea...

Pretend to be interested in everything the other person says. Perfect. I knew how to do that, Lauren taught be that much.

Flirt. That I can do. I still remember in the summer of grade 9 Bella and I had practised our flirting techniques and pick up lines. I chuckled to myself remembering our childish acts, I still remember when Bella would use to lean over and show hers– CULLEN!

Get a fucking hold of yourself. Your turning into a pervert, just like Newton.

Wait a minute, he'd be perfect to unleash my non existent female charms on. I grinned to myself. You are one smart girl. Alice left me for Jasper a few minutes ago so I was on my own now.

***

I moved my eyes away from Alice, and started roaming down the table again. I would have to talk to Alice later.

Emmet and Rosalie were sitting in between Mike and I, so I just had to stand up and move towards him.

Cullen, stop being a pansy and just get this over with. You want Bella. You need Bella. You'll get Bella when you get Mike.

I kept repeating that in my head and stood up and stood behind Mike, tapping his shoulder. "–keep talking Tyler" He turned around to look at me, You want Be– why am I doing this again? Crap. That was most definitely not part of my on the go mantra. I felt like a piece of meat as he looked me up and down over and over again, so I crossed my arms. Crap. I quickly removed my arms and put them on my hips, I didn't have any cleavage to show, unless tissue paper works. "H..Hi" Did he stutter? I felt like bursting with laughter, did I actually look attractive?

I cleared my voice and batted my eyelashes a little making him smirk. What a pig. "Hi, I'm Elizabeth, you know Alice's cousin" I looked over at Alice who was giving me the thumbs up but quickly dropped her hands when Mike looked over too. I twisted my hands together, then started twirling the ends of my hair. What do I say now?..."I was wondering if I could sit beside you."

Mike's smirk turned into a full blown smile as he shook his head relentlessly before finding the words to speak, "Yeah, of course you can sit beside me. Anything for a gorgeous girl like you." I just hid behind my hair but inwardly I was just cringing in disgust. How did girls do this?

I giggled, my voice still way too high for my liking, but grabbed my tray from Edward's seat shooting Bella a panicking glance but she just giggled. Well there went my last shred of hope. I grimaced as I sat down beside Mike. Was it me or did he just move closer to my spot to make it tighter, because I don't remember seeing the spot this small and tight. I glanced down at my cake and remembered how I used it as my food analogy for Laurens brain. I don't think I was hungry anymore.

Everyone else were oblivious to our exchange, or Bella, Rosalie, and Alice were trying to be oblivious to everything I was doing, but I could see them watching me and Mike from the corner of their eyes. I felt something crawling up my arm and sliding down. Mike. What the fuck was he doing? It looked like he was trying to warm up his hands with the side of his. He noticed that he had caught my attention and gave me a sly smile when I didn't move away or move closer, I was actually just frozen in my seat. I turned my hiding grimace into the best smile I could make, making my face seem contorted and lop-sided. I heard someone snort, and saw Rosalie sipping at her drink and pretending to look at her nails, this must be so funny to them. I'm just glad that Emmet and Jasper haven't noticed.

I talked too soon, "Hey Mike, you got yourself a new babe?" I glared at Emmet who seemed to enjoy me squirming beside Mike.

"Mc Karty, It's time I settled down." What the hell? He's acting as if he was talking about having kids and getting married. Oh sweet Jesus, kill me now. My full on glare at Emmet softened a little when Bella came to my rescue.

"That's, uh, nice Mike. I just remembered that I have to introduce Elizabeth to Mr. Banner. You know in, Biology. So we better get a move on." She bit her lip and had her arms wrapped around her. She wasn't even trying and she was doing exactly what I practised. Mike looked bummed by the fact that I had to go or that he wasn't in the same class, which I sighed in relief for.

One down one more to go.

I was finished with my one of my two dares, I only had one more dare to go. In my case, the easier one, or at least the safer one.

I quickly got up and dumped my tray, smoothing down the front of my shirt to make sure I didn't mess my get up. I nearly raced to the front doors of the cafeteria where Bella was waiting patiently for me. I smiled and opened the door for us.

"Wow Edward, you were very...smooth." I snorted. Bella laughed, "No really, you actually did better than I thought, and it will be really easy for you to become friends with Lauren since she's in our class, so that means you can't sit with me–" I groaned, I wanted to sit beside Bella. "–you'll have to sit with Lauren, she sits by herself anyways."

I wasn't able to argue back because we were already in class, oh why had this class need to be the closest class to the cafeteria? I pouted and made my way to the very back of the class exactly where Lauren and I used to sit before I started sitting with Bella since her partner had moved away since I had enough of Lauren.

Lauren wasn't there yet so I sat down in my old seat and took out a notebook Alice had supplied me with this morning. Bella was sitting in her seat and my seat was...what the fuck? What the hell is Tyler doing in my seat in my table talking to my Bella. I know it was wrong to think of her as mine but I couldn't help myself, and technically she was my girlfriend after all–at least that's what I kept telling myself. Tyler leaned over towards Bella and layed his arm over the back of her seat, slightly pulling the interfering hair in front of her eye behind her ear.

I saw red. What the fuck was he doing? Couldn't he tell that she was mine.

I could clearly see he was taking way too long pushing the small tendril of hair behind her ear, and I knew she could tell because she quickly turned back to the front successfully knocking Tyler's hand and arm.

That's my girl.

My smug smile was too hard not to notice, but I don't think anybody did except for Lauren who was making her way to the back with a sad smile. She flipped her hair and sat down beside me mumbling a quick greeting before turning back to the front.

That was weird.

It's been exactly thirty seconds since she has sat down and not once has she turned around to me to talk about boys, Edward Cullen, or her hair. I was almost impressed. Almost. This was going to be harder than I expected, especially if she was in one of her moods.

(A/N: Edward,Lauren)

I ripped a piece out my notebook and wrote down a quick note to Lauren,

Hi,

Is something wrong?

Elizabeth

There were about eight more minutes until the class started and I didn't want to bother talking in my girly voice so I opted for exchanging notes with her instead. I pushed the piece of paper over to her side and tapped her shoulder.

With the same sad face from before she noticed the note and picked it up, I felt something sliding poke me in the arm and it was the same note I sent her except there was more writing in it.

It's nothing really...OK it's actually boy problems, major boy problems.

How much more major can her boy problems get? After about five minutes the paper was full of notes each notes going in order like,

Want to talk about it, I mean write about it?

*

Well there's this one boy, his name is Edward...Edward Cullen. And I think I'm in love, well I'm guessing that's what infatuation is. So yeah anyways, he's dating Ms. I think I'm the Queen, you know her as Bella Swan. She's one of Alice's best friends, you should know. Now he's dating her and we JUST broke up, he's such a pig to move on like that. But I've always loved pigs, don't tell anyone that...

*

Great, just what I needed, me to be the cause of another problem. We broke up 3 months ago! I sighed, if I wanted to get into Laurens good graces I was going to have to tell her what she wanted to hear...

Edward sounds great, I'm sure you're way better for him than Bella is. I hate Bella, I don't get what Alice likes about her. I mean look at her...

Everything I wrote were complete lies, Bella will always be the best. I love Bella, I know why everyone likes her, Yes, I mean look at her, she's a goddess.

*

She smiled. She fucking smiled at what I wrote. She really did hate Bella.

You know, you've just made my day so much better. Thanks, I really needed that. You know what, you sound like me, and I like people who act like me. Friends?

*

I smiled, only the fact that she wanted to be my friend. I looked at Lauren and grinned the first genuine smile since last night, I passed. I was done the dare. Lauren looked up and gave me one her worst or in her case her best smiles. Little did she know that we were smiling for completely different reasons.

Friends.

The bell rang and class started, effectively tying the knots of many things today, most of all ending our conversation.
