As I shoved my new clothes into my closet I couldn't help but think about what Edward had said. Did he really mean that? Of course he did; I mean why he would lie to her. I sighed; why did I even care? I didn't…..or that's what I told myself. I decided to pre-occupy myself with getting ready for the football game. I concentrated on every little thing I did, so that way my mind wouldn't wonder.

I wasn't paying attention to where I was going as I was walking away from Bella's room and almost hit a couple of people. I didn't get it; what had I done wrong? When I finally made it back to my room I noticed I didn't have time to look at Bella's pictures liked planned, so I just threw on a sweatshirt and ran over to Jasper's room.

I ran outside, knowing I probably forgot something, but I was already running late. It seemed like forever until I was finally knocking on Jasper and Emmett's dorm room door. Before my hand was all the way down Alice was opening the door with Rosalie, Jasper, and Edward right on her heels.

"It took you long enough," she said, pushing everyone out so we could get to the field before the game started without us.

"I lost track of time," I said, making sure I was as far away from Edward as I could possibly get.

"Its fine lets just hurry it's almost time," Alice said, skipping towards the football field as if she didn't have a care in the world.

"How are you so hyper?" I asked amazed, "its 7:30 and we were busy all day shopping like mad."

"She's like the energizer bunny," Rose laughed, "she keeps going and going."

"Is than an insult?" Alice asked Jasper quietly.

"Not at all baby I love that you can keep going and going," he said, holding back his smile while trying not to laugh. I had never really noticed before, but Alice and Jasper are a perfect couple. At first sight you would never guess because Alice had black, spiky hair, was only 4'11", and was very thin; while Jasper was tall, lean, and had honey blond, curly hair. They complimented each other nicely; Jasper was the shy quiet type, while Alice was the hyper, outgoing one; they balanced each other out. My jaw dropped once we finally reached the football field. I had passed it a few times before on my way to my private studio, but it looked so different now that the scoreboard was lit up, with the stands full, the concession stand open, and the field filled with players from both teams warming up before kick off.

"Close your mouth," Alice giggled, "You're going to attract flies." I quickly shut my mouth and followed them toward our seats. I noticed that one side was totally filled with people in blue and gold (the official SBA school colors) and the other side was brown and green. I couldn't help but think that their colors were ugly; are you serious, brown and green "what is this I want look like a tree I mean come on?" As I was distracted with my thoughts I noticed all too late that the only seat left for me was between Alice and Edward. Great, two hours next to the jerk of the year winner! I debated sitting somewhere else, but I had finally opened up to someone and I didn't want to lose my new friends already, so I reluctantly sat down. We only had to wait for just a few minutes in the uncomfortable silence, before we were saved and the players headed to the sidelines and the cheerleaders headed out onto the field.

"I'm not an expert or anything, but aren't the cheerleaders supposed to be on the side and the players on the field," I asked. Everyone laughed.

"The cheerleaders always do a starting cheer," Rosalie explained. As I turned my head back around I saw Lauren's blond hair and was reminded of what I wanted to ask Alice earlier.

"You told me that Lauren danced right?" I asked.

"Yes, why?" she asked, looking confused.

"Because it looks like she's a cheerleader not a dancer," I said.

"Well she was a cheerleader first, but then she realized it was better to take a sport, so she started dancing." Alice explained.

"What do you mean she realized it was better to take a sport?" I asked bemused

"No offense, Bella, but to be somebody at S.B.A. you have to be involved in some sort of a sport." Alice answered.

"Don't worry I don't want to be somebody," I laughed ending our conversation because the cheerleaders had left the field and the football players were in position for the kick-off to finally start the game.

At half-time we were winning 28 to 7.

"I'm going to get something to eat," I said, standing up, "anybody want anything while I'm going."

"Nachos, please?" Alice squealed in delight.

"Hotdog," Rose smiled. Jasper stood up and handed me something. I was confused at first, but then noticed it was a twenty dollar bill. I looked up to him confused but he just shook his head and laughed.

"Alice is my girl and Rose is my sister they are the two most important girls in my life, so that entitles me to pay for them, and you as our new friend I am going to get yours as well." I just nodded and then started walking away. Unfortunately I heard Edward running behind me.

As I reached her I couldn't help but notice how she sighed in defeat.

"You forgot to take my order," I joked.

"What do you want? Jasper said he had the girls last I checked you weren't or are you gay and I missed the hints?" she asked, rudely and I knew she wasn't talking just about food anymore.

"I want to know why you're mad at me," I said. She suddenly became even more hostile at that remark.

"I'm surprised you don't know," she said, stalking off. I followed, still searching my brain for something that I could I have done. Then it hit me; okay, so I was wrong, a little lie could hurt somebody, but the only part that was a lie was that Alice didn't ask me to help I offered. Big deal, right?

"Bella, I didn't mean it," I said, "I was just trying to get rid of her, she tends to be stalkerish, she is like always where I am."

"I don't believe you and if you didn't like it why lie?" she questioned, still angry.

"Sometimes I have to lie to Lauren to get her to leave me alone she is like a lonely puppy following me around," I said, hoping she would believe me.

"Oh great, so now you could be lying to me to get me to leave you alone as well!" she stated.

"I said, sometimes I have to lie to Lauren, I would never lie to you, you are so much more important to me" I said, honestly. I could see her weakening, but we had reached the concession stand and now were ordering. She got a hot chocolate and shivered before I realized she didn't have a jacket on or with her for that matter.

"Where's your jacket? It's 45 degree's outside right now."

"I forgot it," she mumbled. I pulled off my sweatshirt trying to hand it to her.

"Take it," I said. She stared at it for a minute, obviously debating, but then turned to me with a sour look on her face.

"I would rather freeze to death," she said, menacingly.

"Stop being so damn proud and just take the jacket," I said, getting annoyed, I mean I could see her shivering, I knew she was cold.

"It has nothing to do with pride and if you knew me better you would know that!" she said, grabbing their food and stalking off back to our seats.

"Take it," he said, holding it out to me. I looked it at wondering if I should take it; he did apologize. No hold up, what was I even thinking; I was not going to wear his jacket.

"I would rather freeze to death," I lied, surprised at how menacing it sounded. He shocked me with the words that came out of his mouth next.

"Stop being so damn proud and just take the jacket," he said and if there was any chance of being persuaded it was gone; he had crossed the line with that retort.

"It has nothing to do with pride and if you knew me better you would know that!" and with that, I grabbed their food and practically ran back to my seat.

I handed Alice and Rose their things and Jasper turned to me looking amused as I handed him his change.

"Did you kill Edward?" he asked with a half smile trying to lighten my mood, it almost worked until…. As if on cue Edward returned and took his seat next to me.

"No not yet." He tried to throw me a glare, but something in my expression made him smile.

"She loves me too much to kill me," he smirked. I laughed, humorlessly that was the biggest lie I had heard all day.

"The only reason I haven't killed you yet is because I haven't had a chance to smack that annoying smirk off your face." His expression immediately turned into a grimace.

"Are you sure it's not because you would miss arguing with me?" he asked.

"Oh yea, that's it," I said sarcastically, "Because this fight was the highlight of my week."

"It probably was with your boring little lonely life without any other friends," he fired back.

"You're just mad because I'm not falling at your feet like your cheerleader whore over there," I screamed.

"You just don't know what to do now that you finally let somebody inside of your life your scared and trying to push them away already," he screamed back. Those words set me over the edge; why did he always go back to that? I couldn't help it I punched him in the nose. He gave me a shocked look, but grabbed his nose as the blood began to trickle out. He stood up and headed over to the bathrooms and I turned around to find Jasper, Alice, and Rosalie staring at me with their jaws dropped in shock.

"What happened between you two?" Alice asked when she finally pulled herself back to the land of the living.

"We just have a way of saying things that….get under each others skin," I said, pretending to be focused on the game which had just re-started.

"Obviously," she mumbled, turning to talk to Rose, no doubt about me.

The rest of the game went smoothly, but halfway through the third quarter I had to take the jacket Jasper offered. At first I thought Alice would be mad, but she smiled at me and it wasn't weird at all. Jasper was like my new big brother. Rosalie went back to Emmett's room and Alice took Jasper to hers, so I was left walking back to my room alone again at last. I was a little glad though because I just wanted to go to sleep and that's exactly what I did, as soon as my head hit my purple satin clad pillowcase.

As soon as I grabbed my drink I headed back after Bella.

"Did you kill Edward?" I heard Jasper ask her.

"No not yet" As I sat down next to her I wanted to glare, but her smirk made the light bulb in my head turn on.

"She loves me too much to kill me," I said. She laughed, but it held no humor to me.

"The only reason I haven't killed you yet is because I haven't had a chance to smack that annoying smirk off your face."

"Are you sure it's not because you would miss arguing with me?" I said, becoming angry again.

"Oh yea, that's it," she said sarcastically, "Because this fight was the highlight of my week." At least she was worth having a fight with, she kept it coming.

"It probably was with your boring little lonely life without any other friends," I said, hoping she would finally give up.

"You're just mad because I'm not falling at your feet like your cheerleader whore over there," she screamed. I couldn't help but notice how everyone (even the football players and cheerleaders) were staring at us.

"You just don't know what to do now that you finally let somebody inside of your life, you're scared and trying to push them away already" I screamed, knowing I had finally reached her weak point. It happened so fast I didn't even notice until the blood started to trickle out of my nose. She punched me! I wanted to be mad, but I was too amazed that she had done that, so instead I just headed to the bathroom to clean it up. When I came back out I walked right past where my friends were sitting and headed back to my dorm. Almost to embarrassed to stay.
