Chapter 10

"Lets dance Bella." Mike commanded taking my hand and dragging me out to the dance floor.

"Mike, I really can't dance." I tried once again to convince him to dance with someone else.

"I don't care you are going to get out there and try," I could tell by the look on his face that I would regret it if I said no to him. So I allowed him to drag me on to the dance floor. I stood awkwardly as he danced. I could see his frustration growing but I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing. After me standing there for a few minutes Mike gave up on dancing and decided to just join his friends at a table and talk. Jessica was sitting there already with an uncomfortable looking Edward sitting next to her, Angela was also sitting with Ben next to her. I smiled at her and sat down. I tried to listen to what they were saying but it was nearly impossible. I peeked a sideways glance at Edward to see that he was not paying attention to what they were saying either. He was staring off in to a corner with an annoyed expression on his face. Since he was not paying any attention I took the time to watch him. He seemed to be hardly breathing, his chest rising and falling only once for every three breaths I took. Even through his button up shirt I could see his perfectly sculpted muscles. He the black of his clothing looked stunning with his nearly white skin. And finally I looked at his eyes, they were very light today, a butterscotch color. I had to suppress a sigh. I reluctantly looked away from him, not wanting to get caught staring. When A slow song came on most people left the dance floor for a break, with only a few couples remaining.

"Edward?" Jessica asked, "Will you dance with me?"

"No." he said curtly. I could see it had hurt her feelings and was surprised at the tone he had used to speak to her. Normally he was incredibly polite. She sighed loudly and crossed her arms in annoyance. Ben timidly asked Angela if she would dance with him, she couldn't contain her smile when he asked. Together they walked out to the dance floor and began to dance. When they did they looked directly in each others eyes. Neither one of them talked, they just got lost in their own little world. I smiled, I was so happy for Angela.

"Bella?" Mike asked. I shook my head.

"Maybe you should dance with Jessica, she wanted someone to dance with." I looked pointedly at her for effect.

"Yea, sure." he replied. "Jessica?"

"Yes?" she asked seeming confused.

"You want to dance?" He leaned across the table. She looked at me asking for permission. I smiled at her and nodded telling her it was okay. She smiled and took his hand. He led the way to the dance floor. Now all that was left at our table was Tyler and Lauren who had come together, and me and Edward. I watched them dance for a while glad that Jessica was at least having some amount of fun at the dance. When a fast song came back on none of our friends returned and Lauren and Tyler went to join them. That left just me and Edward at the table.

"Your not going to dance?" he asked me.

"Not a chance." I replied laughing. He smiled as well.

"Didn't think so." he paused before asking, "Does it not bother you that Jessica is dancing with Mike?" I almost laughed at the absurdity of that.

"Not at all. I'm not going to be dancing, he might as well have some fun." I said. "What about Jessica? He kind of kidnapped your date too."

"Not at all. I don't think she was having much fun sitting here." he chuckled.

"Maybe," I allowed. "Well you looked pretty bored yourself." He shrugged, we lapsed once again in to silence. It wasn't an uncomfortable one. I looked around the gym to see how it was decorated. There were pink and purple streamers hanging off the basketball nets, and similarly coloured balloons hanging from the roof. There was an archway over the gym doors that I had not noticed on my way in. It was white with fake flowers stuck to it. There were no lights on except for the flashing coloured lights of the DJ. He was set up in a far corner of the gym with large speakers piled on top each other. They blasted the loud music in to the gym. Despite the fact that we were in the farthest corner from the speakers the music still blared making it difficult to hear when you were being talked to.

"Bella?" Edward said tapping my shoulder to get my attention.

"Yea?" I asked him.

"Well.." I had never seen him look uncomfortable until now. "Alice told me about your black eye."

"What about it?" I replied carefully.

"Well I don't think you fell, even your not that unlucky." He told me. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, but kept my face composed.

"Why not?"

"Who did it?" he asked me. I looked away refusing to answer. "Was it Charlie?" He asked. I laughed in relief, at least I could be honest.

"No, he would never." I told him looking him directly in the eyes. He looked in my eyes searching for any sign that I was lying. Seeming satisfied he nodded. I hoped after that he would drop it, but sadly I was not that lucky.

"Then who did?" Thankfully I was spared because Mike and Jessica had come back from dancing.

Please review and such. Oh and I wrote Jessica asking Edward out, it is posted as a seperate story.
