(Bella's POV.)

Tuesday After School

"Bella!" I turned from my car door to my name. At his car stood Edward, waving at me to come over.

"Yeah?" I asked once I was standing right in front of him.

"I was wondering if you wanted to come over again this afternoon." His eyes held hope while his brothers and sisters wore smirks.

"Sorry, I can't. I want to get my homework done and start on supper before Charlie gets home. He said he was supposed to get off early today. That, and we haven't spent much time together since i've come here."

"Oh, it's fine. I'll see you tomorrow then."

"You bet." I smiled and he returned it before getting in his car.

"Bye Bella."

"Bye Edward." I turned and walked back to my truck. This time though, Sophia was leaning against the side, looking mad. She started glaring once she saw me. I winced a little, startled by her hostility.

"Hi Sophia." I greeted cautiously. Her glare only strengthened.

"Let me make something very clear to you." She pushed off from my truck and stood directly in front of me. Sophia had her face only inches from mine, intensifying her glare.

"What?"

"Stay away from Edward, he's mine. Just because you're new here, doesn't mean you control the school. It most certaintly doesn't mean you can steal my boyfriend."

"If you can even call him that." I responded without thinking.

"Excuse me?" She said it rudely, but you could tell she was shocked.

"You heard me. All you do is treat him like a pet, a posession. He's just a material thing to you, not a person. I'm not trying to steal him from you Sophia. All i'm saying is that you should treat him better, instead of like a piece of dirt. He deserves better than that. Actually, he deserves better than you." I pushed her out of my way and climbed in my truck. Oh god, what am I doing? This is so not good.

"You listen here..." She started.

"No, for once, you listen." Somebody shut me up! I do not need to make her hate me even more! Wait, why am I worried? I've dealt with people worse than her, so why am I scared? I shook my head in frustration.

"If you get rid of that annoying attitude of yours, people might actually like you."

"Everyone already likes me."

"In your delusional mind. Good riddance." With that, I started the car and drove off. My hands gribbed the steering wheel in anger. She's just so frustrating! Oh, well, i've got homework to do. I pulled into my driveway and walked inside. Straight away, I went to my room. I pulled out my textbooks and laptop. Turning it on, I went to my e-mail. I know i'm supposed to be doing my homework, but I wanted to check this really quick. I had 10 new messages.

9 of them were from Jessica.

I shook my head and clicked on the first, then the second, then third. All of them were the same. I giggled some before actually reading.

Hi Bells!

We've been missing you, especially Evan! He's been waiting for you to respond to his e-mail, but you haven't. So I decided to intervene. By the way, send us a picture of your new school and friends. Or any of some really cute boys, they say there are some really cute ones on the West Coast. Don't worry, I won't let Evan know. ). Anyway, e-mail him back. Talk to you soon!

Your bff Jessica.

I clicked on the reply button and began to type.

Hey Jess

The school is really cool and I'll definitely send some pics. I'll respond in a few minutes, I promise! And yeah, there are some really cute guys, but all the decent ones are taken. In fact, one of my new friends here has a girlfriend who's aboslutely horrible! It's really sad too because he's such a sweet guy. I've got to go though. Homework, cooking, and e-mailing have me busy. :) Talk to you soon!

Your bff Bella.

I swerved my mouse to send and clicked, then over to Evan's message.

Hey Bella.

You said we would talk about the day you left, and i've tried to get in contact with, but that hasn't worked so much. We haven't texted you because we figured you would check your e-mail more. So how about a test run? Send me a text message saying...well whatever. Then I'll explain things. I know you must be really confused and I'm sorry.

Sincerely yours, Evan

Hey Evan

I'll try and text you, but like you, i'm not sure. Sorry I haven't replied but look on the bright side! I am now! You bet i'm confused! After all, you just suddenly kissed me at the airport! Of course i'd be surprised and confused! So you've definitely got to explain that.

Talking now and soon, Bella.

Off to the side, I saw my IM box pop up, meaning one of my friends were online. It was Evan

Hey Evan

Hi Bella

awkward typing?

lol, definitely.

Um, i don't mean to rush, but I would really like an explanation.

of course, where should I begin?

the beginning?

so the first day i met you?

all the way since then!

yeah, sort of. can i start now?

yeah, sorry.

well, the first day i met you, you were fifteen, I was sixteen. as soon as I saw you, i thought you the most beautiful girl in the world. Then, because of that, I though you were one of those superficial, fakes. who think just because they're beautiful they control everything and anything.

well that's a bad first impression, and i hadn't even talked to you yet!

i know, but then once i got to know you, i realized how nice you were. how you really cared about your parents. that's when i wanted to get to know you more. so you could say i did.

i remember, you ignored me for the first few months you worked there

yeah, sorry about that. anyway, as time passed we became really good friends. and soon, i wanted more than to be your friend. that was around the time the crash happened. after that, i decided to wait until you were ready. even after you were back ot your normal self, i was still nervous and scared, so i kept delaying it. as a result, you moved to Forks without knowing my feelings.

which are? and i'm sorry i screwed it all up.

that's ok, i guess i feel better telling you online than in person, though i wish i could tell you in person. so, here i go.

Bella, I love you

cliffy! at first i wanted to continue it, but then i thought this would be a pretty good ending. so after this, i'm going to start writing the next chapter and post it. yay! this story is going to be longer than i thougt it was, and with some actually decent chapters and no author alerts! whoo! oh, and to go ahead and let you guys know, there will be a sequel to this story, so start wondering why and please, i beg of you
