Sorry for the long update, we were out celebrating kate's bday.

Anywhoo , thank you to those who reviewed!

Enjoy!

The past few weeks have been horrible. Rose and I tried to drop out of soccer even though we didn't make it yet. We told the coach that soccer wasn't our thing but he didn't buy it. So we told him we wouldn't have time for soccer. But since the coach loved us so much he wouldn't let us drop out! Can you believe it? So we were forced to try out again and believe it or not, we made it on the team. Seriously, if I wanted to drop out the coach should understand there was a good excuse behind it. And my excuse was James McCarthy.

He made it on the team too. Emmett and Jasper kept an eye on him so he wouldn't make a move on me again. I was glad to have good tough friends like them to back me up. But they went completely overboard with everything. Emmett would walk me to the changeroom and then Jasper would wait for me and walk me to my dorm. Whenever I wanted to go out I would have to call either one of them so they could make sure James wasn't waiting for me outside. They were being completely ridiculous!

My birthday was horrible too. The word got out on campus and they threw me a surprise party. Everyone even bought me presents! It didn't feel right. I didn't like being showered with presents and being treated twice the respect than any other day. But my friends told me I was being stubborn.

I didn't speak to Edward since that day. Well I did but we didn't hang out any more. I told him that being friends was a bad idea. Really, it was. I didn't want to fall for another guy and end up getting my heartbroken. Not that I was falling for him. I knew Edward was a good guy but sometimes no matter how much you liked the person (and in this case, I liked him as a friend) you can't trust them at the same time. It's like you want to but part of you just isn't ready to. But he took it calmly you know. He didn't show any sign that he was upset but only I could tell what was really going on behind his emerald eyes.

To top off my so far horrible life, Tanya was suppose to be back today. Yep. That's right. Tanya's suspension ended yesterday which meant she was going to torture me twice as hard as last time.

But I have to admit. I enjoyed my time while Tanya was gone. Who knows what she'd do this time.

I wasn't scared of Tanya Denali or her followers. I could take her. I could take anyone. Anyone who tries to ruin my life doesn't get away with it. Pay back was my middle name.

The weather outside looked a little chilly. I ran over to my closet the second I got out of the shower. Like I said picking out my outfit in the mornings was my favourite thing to do.

I decided on wearing dark denim skinnies matched with a plain white shirt and a black vest to go over it. Finished off with a red plaid beanie and my red converse.

When I grow up,

I wanna be famous

I wanna be a star

I wanna be in movies...

My cellphone rang indicating that I had a new text message. I finally changed the ringtone for it. I chose the chorus of "When I Grow Up" by the Pussycat Dolls because Rose was totally annoyed with that song. So every time it rang it would set her off. I was such a lovely sister to her.

Thing 2,

Starbucks?

Now?

Yeah?

See ya there.

Em aka Thing 1

I grabbed my wallet and shoved it in my black backpack. I put on my beanie and converse before walking out the door. Alice and Rose were still alseep. I hate how I got up early today.

On my way down to Starbucks I saw her leaning on a certain bronze haired boy who was leaning against a tree. She had her arms wrapped around his waist as his did the same. She turned around, our eyes meeting. She winked at me then turned back around and made out with Edward Cullen right in front of me. He broke the kiss and looked at me. I quickly looked the other way and pulled out my phone. To make it look like it rang. I quickly pressed Emmett's speed dial number.

"Hello?"

"Hey Emmett where are you guys?" He must of thought I was stupid because I knew where they were. I hoped I looked distracted from Edward's view.

"Starbucks. Where else?" His tone very curious.

"Oh okay. Just checking. I thought you guys would of got tired waiting up for me." I tried my best not to check if he was still looking at me.

"Okay..." his tone still curious.

"Anyway, I see you guys. So bye." I hung up the phone hoping he wouldn't question me when I got there. And thankfully he didn't.

Jasper handed me a cup of French Vanilla and a blueberry muffin. My new way of starting the morning. "Thanks." I smiled at him. He nodded back at me.

We sat on the table across the enterance.

"So Bella," Emmett began.

"So Emmett..." I didn't bother looking up at him.

"What's up with you?" Dammit!

"Nothing. Why?" The both of them raised their eyebrows at me. "Spill Swan."

I sighed. "It's just. I saw Tanya and she caught me looking at her so I pulled out my phone and speed dialed your number to make it look like you called me." I shrugged. "I don't know it was stupid. I don't even know what the whole purpose of that was. I guess to make it look like I wasn't actually looking at her or something."

"Weird but okay." Emmett shrugged.

"So, are the girls still asleep?" Jasper asked.

"Gee. Why don't you call and find out." I didn't mean to sound rude but they asked me a whole load of questions about them everyday. I mean, they were their girlfriends. They could just call.

"Moody, are we?" Jasper chuckled.

"I'm just mad that Tanya's back." I groaned.

"Is somebody afraid of what her next move is?" Emmett tried to joke. It wasn't funny to me.

"Emmett I can take her." I glared at him.

He raised his hands up in front of him as if he was surrendering to a police officer. "It was a joke geeze. I know you can Swan."

"Just don't get yourself suspended." Jasper added.

I rolled my eyes at the two. "You two are being ridiculous." I took the last bite of my muffin and my last sip of coffee. I got up from the table. "I'll be around. Later Things."

I was just half way to my dorm when Lauren, Jessica and Casey blocked me from taking another step forward.

Lauren stood in the middle of them. Her arms folded against her chest. Her right foot sticking out and glaring at me. Jessica and Casey stood in the same pose. "Isabella." Lauren said coldly.

We had an audience in less than ten seconds already.

I smiled my unfriendly smile at them. "Lauren. Jessica. Casey." I greeted them one by one. So now that Tanya is back they decided to talk to me now?

"You probably know Tanya is back." Jessica spat out.

I made a disgusted face at them. "And your point is?"

Lauren took a step forward to me. "You better be prepared for a whole year of hell Swan." She poked me above my chest.

I rubbed the spot she poked and pretended like it actually hurt. "Wow Lauren. Didn't know you had it in you."

She scoweled at me. "Save your pathetic jokes for someone who cares."

I glared at her with more force into it. "Here's an idea," I took a step forward. "Why don't you dig up your reciepts and return all the make up you wasted your money on. They sure as hell aren't doing any good." She gasped. "Is that a zit I see Lauren?"

In the background people were laughing and "Oooh-ing" Lauren.

She let out a loud shriek. "That's it Swan!" she tried to look mean. "You and me right now!"

I smiled at her. "Gee. I'd love to stay and kick the crap out of you but I have better things to do than pick a fight." I turned around to walk away but Lauren grabbed me by the wrist.

"I. Said. You. And. Me. Right. Now. Swan." She said through her teeth. "Are you afraid I'll kick your little butt?"

I laughed. "Ha! That's a good one. Your threats crack me up as much as your face does." Again, more "Ooh-ing" from our audience.

That really set her off. She took off her hoops and jumped on top of me, pulling my hair. Yeah, like that did anything! From a distance I could see principal Franklin walking up. Oh, this was going to get good. I just stayed still and let her have her fun. After all, I wasn't getting hurt one bit.

"You stupid ugly cow!" She yelled at me. Is that all she got?

"Ms. Mallory!" The principal yelled. "My office now!"

She screamed and got off of me. She stormed off to meet the principal as she muttered some unpleasant words at me.

It's nice to see how loyal her friends were to her. The minute they saw the principal walking towards us they ran off. Probably to find their leader or something.

"Are you okay?" Serena helped me up.

I dusted myself off. "Yeah I'm fine." Then I looked to our audience and glared at them. They quickly snapped their phones shut and ran off.

"Are you sure? She didn't hurt you too serious did she?" She asked. Still concerned.

"To be honest, she wasn't hurting me at all. I just let her have her fun. Until the principal came of course."

She gave me a high five. "Remind me never go on your bad side. Or pick a fight with you."

I winked at her. "Believe me. I don't think you'd ever be on the list."

"Are you sure you're okay?" She asked again.

"Serena. I'm fine. I swear." I looked at her to let her know I was telling the truth.

She sighed. "Ok but if you need anything I'm always here. I gotta meet Shawn then get to class. I'll see you in drama." She gave me a hug and walked off the other way.

Surprisingly I didn't run into Cullen yet. But as expected my 'cat fight' with Lauren ended up on the front page of Gossip Witches. As I made my way to first period I got a lot of high fives from everyone. So far I got 2 witches down but eventually Tanya would come up with someothing so that only counted as 1 and a half now. Now I had 2 and a half more witches to go.

Great. I was early for class again. I walked in seeing Tanya already here. I sat down at my usual seat in the back next to Angela. Though she wasn't here yet. I didn't bother looking at Tanya.

Then I saw two white hands gripped on the two corners of my desk. "Hello Swan." She spat out the last word.

"Tanya, it's so good to see you. How was house arrest?" I smiled up at her.

She glared at me. "That's none of your buisness Swan."

I rolled my eyes. "I warned you not to go near Edward." Her tone was unpleasant.

"You know Tanya," I folded my hands under my chin. "Isn't it so selfish for you to say that? Especially since the two of you aren't dating?

She rolled her eyes. "Well Swan. I guess this is new news to you then. News flash! We are dating."

Impossible. They can't be! Were they? I didn't say anything to her. I can't believe this!

"Aw," she made a sad face. "Did I hurt your feelings, Bella?"

"Why would you hurt my feelings Denali?" Who did she think she was?

"Because you've got a crush on Edward." She poked my nose.

My head warmed up. Not because I was blushing. Because I was angry. "I. Do. Not. Like. Edward. Cullen!"

"Oh, we all know what a rotten lie that is! But too bad for you. You'll never get him Swan. So stop dressing up for him. It's not working." Dressing up for him? Who the hell would dress up for him?

"Do I need to repeat myself Tanya?" My tone was now fierce.

She patted my head. "I can hear you loud and clear Mrs. Wanna be Cullen."

Oh that's it! But before I could do anything our teacher walked in and told Tanya to have a seat. She was just lucky this time.

Science went by fast. And here I was walking to the table about to have lunch with the two idiots. But I loved these idiots. Like brothers of course. I sat down in the middle of Emmett's story.

"So then she was like," Emmett put on a high pitched voice while snapping his fingers in a Z in the air, "Oh no you di-dn't! And I was like, 'Oh yes I did!'"

Jasper laughed like a maniac. "Do that voice and face again!"

I joined in the laughter. "What'd you do to her anyway?"

"I passed by her and winked. She looked back at me trying to seduct me with her smile but she ended up banging her head against a locker." Emmett was the greatest. I would of loved to see the look on Tanya's face. "So then I went up to her and said, 'Hey hunny, did you say hi to the locker for me?' and then she did the whole snapping her fingers thing. Man it was hilarious!" Jasper and I laughed again as we punched fists with each other.

I took a long sip of my drink but soon spat it out the second Edward sat down at our table. Luckily Emmett and Jasper jumped back so it didn't land on them. "Hello brother and Jasper." Nice to know I was included in his greeting.

"Bella are you okay?" Jasper's tone was concerned. He took a few napkinks and wiped the area were my juice landed.

"Yeah. I'm fine." I looked down in embaressment.

Emmett started whistling. "So what brings you here bro?"

"What? I can't have lunch with my brothers?" Edward's tone was annoyed.

"We don't have a problem with that. It's just your first time in almost a year." Jasper said. I didn't know he had lunch third period.

I got up and picked up my tray. "Uh. I'll see you guys later."

Emmett and Jasper looked at me then their eyes darted to Edward. I nodded and the both of them nodded suspiciously.

"Wait Bella." Edward's hand was on my shoulder. Seriously. Was the shoulder my weakest spot our something?

I sighed. "What now Cullen?"

"I just," he hesitated. "Are you angry?"

"Gee, let me think. I got into a fight with your girlfriend's little troll. Then your girlfriend came up to me at first period saying all this bullshit about me having a crush on you- WHICH I DO NOT HAVE!". I relaxed a little. "Does that answer your question?"

"Bella please can we talk somewhere in private?" There he goes again with the talking!

"No Cullen. The talkings done. I want nothing to do with you or your little witch. You both can rott in hell for all I care." I was ready to explode on him but I forced myself to take it easy. For now.

"Bella!" he began to shout at me. "Just please! I want to talk." He breathed in and out slowly as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Edward man calm down." Emmett held him back.

"If Bella doesn't want to talk just leave her alone." Jasper spoke for me.

"Thank you Jasper. Now if you'll excuse me I have a class to get to." I know it was still early but I had to leave. But as predicted he stopped me. Again.

"Bella." I turned around but before I could gather what was happening Edward cupped his hands on either side of my face and kissed me rougly but with passion.

Emmett pulled him off of me before I had the chance to do it myself. "Bro what's your deal?"

I breathed unsteadily as I stood still looking at Edward. "I, I-I'm sorry," he pinched the bridge of his nose again. "I'm sorry." He whispered and ran off.

"What the hell?" Was all I managed to say. I could feel myself blushing twenty shades of red.

Emmett patted my back. "I don't know what's gotten into him. But dang Bella! You're redder than before!" Emmett winked at me. "Someone's got the hots for Eddie!"

I glared at Emmett. "I'll go talk to him." Jasper gave me a tight hug before he went looking for Edward.

As angry as I was, my mind wouldn't stop playing the scene of the kiss over and over in my head. Everytime I closed my eyes I could see him cupping my face and leaning in to kiss me. Oh my God. Edward Cullen kissed me.
