Edward Cullen was a douche bag plain and simple. Leah had decided it then and there that very day. She had known this before hand of course, but now she was one hundred percent sure in her assesment. She had known they weren't together since she couldn't stand the guy unless he had his tongue down her throat and yet she thought the guy who claimed to be one of the most respectful men on the planet would at the very least show her some.
He had not had the balls to tell her about him at his crazy not so much an ex anymore, getting back together. Leah figured she had a right to know even they were not dating. Despite not liking the fact she could not deny they had chemistry together. Not only when they danced, but in other areas of life as well. It annoyed the street dancer to no end. She did not want to have chemistry with someone like him! Why couldn't she have it with someone she could atleast stand?
It had to be hormones sent off by the body. Like on the animal planet where they were talking about those bugs that gave off some internal perfume type smell to attract a mate? Maybe that is what she and ballet boy had? He was attrached to her own personal BO? She would just have to have ask hm next time she saw him and if that happened to be the reason then she would just go out and buy a new perfume. Problem would then be solved.
As she was getting things from her locker, the street dancer was suddenly whirled around and trapped against the cool metal. Edward Cullen had put his hands against either side of her head as he looked at her with determination and a small amount of anger. It took her a moment to realize what he could possibly be peeved about and then she realized that usually it was during this time they would hook up in the janitor's closet. She had not shown and maybe he had a severe case of blue balls? That was her best guess anyways.
The green eyed ballet dancer made sure to keep the La Push dancer trapped between his arms. There was not enough space for her duck down beneath his arms either. He would hav to talk to him. Which would be a change from the past two days. "Why have you been ignoring me Leah? I thought we established that I had nothing to do with that picture?"
"I am not ignoring you." Ah so he was upset about her lack of appearance lately. She had been partly right. Leah raised her eyes to meet his. She also motioned with her arms for him to get out of her personal space and immediately he let her go while giving her a look stating if she ran he would chase her. "I'm just not going out of my way to interact with you."
Edward crossed his arms which caused the muscles in his arms to stand out and the Quilette girl cursed herself silent. Stupid dancers body she had always been attracted to. Lucky for her, he did not seem to notice. "Again I ask why?"
"Do I really need to answer that?" She stated and turned back around to continuing gathering up her books for her first class. She had to give it to Cullen for actually taking the time to find her before school actually started. Her friends probably had yet to roll out of bed yet since they never made first class of the morning.
"Since I am asking you then yes it would seem that yes you do." He reached over her head to grab her biology book. He knew her class schedule like the back of his hand since it almost completely matched it. Teasing her he decided to hold it above her head until she glared at him and jumped on his foot which caused him to drop the book in to her waiting hands.
"Did you really think things would stay the same if you took her back?" Leah replied and slammed her locker shut after having gathered all the things she needed. She turned around again to face the copper haired ballet dancer. Her back leaning against her locker in a casual stance. "I saw the two of you in class and so I know you guys are a couple again. Not that I wanted to be your girlfriend or anything, but you had to know that I wouldn't continue whatever it is we were when you guys hooked back up. I'm not gonna be your secret girl everytime she decides to go all 'if you forgive me I will jump on your dick.' I am not that kind of person."
Edward wondered if this were one of those moments where he should deny the truth. Then he thought better of it since he had admitted to seeing it with her own eyes. It wasn't like he was going to hide his relationship with Bella. It is not even worth trying to do since gossip spreads like wild fire in this damned school. Besides as Leah had clearly stated, they had not been in a actual relationship and that meant Leah Clearwater could not be upset with him. He was pretty sure that rule was one of the top ones of the teenagers guide to dating. Or it should be if it was not already.
"She wouldn't jump on my dick." He tried to counter his statement knowing it had been a low jab at his current girlfriend and yet he could deny that it was partly the truth. He simply was not a good liar. "Well she would, but I wouldn't let her. We haven't done that yet. I am not ready for that step in our relationship."
The tanned female had to place her hand over her mouth to hold in her snort of amusement. The offended look on his face had been priceless. After a few seconds she started speaking through her fingers. "Are you trying to tell me you're a virgin?"
Greens eyes met her dark brown seriously. It seemed this was a very touch topic with Edward Cullen. "Is that so hard to believe?"
"Well actually yeah it kind of sort of is." The street dancer said with a shrug. "I mean the fact you are a virgin is not to hard to accept, but you openly admitting it certianly is. None of my guy friends would openly admit to being a virgin. Though I am not sure you can include them since they are pigs. Anyways, why are we talking about your virginity? Not my problem to deal with. You have your little girlfriend to handle problems like that for you now Cullen. See you at rehearsal. Don't be like because my world does not revolve around your time schedule."
Edward watched her walk off before coming to see they had not really settle anything. She had sneakily avoided the topic at hand. He would just have to corner her later then. Maybe during practice after school. They needed to figure how to work around the huge invisible elephant in the room. Something he knew that considering he and Bella were back together, was something he would have to learn to ignore. His attraction to Leah had to be dealt with in other stress releiving ways. Like dancing always seemed to work for him and he prayed to god it did not let him down now of all times.

Alice Cullen did not have a first period class today. For this she would be forever greatful. She wasn't so much a morning person and the extra hour of sleep would do her good. She snuggled deeper in to her comforter hoping to fight off the urge to wake up for a a little while longer. That happened to be until she heard the doornob to her room turning. Something that caused her to be wary since everyone she knew, including Leah her dorm mate, would knock before entering. It's just plain rude not to do so.
The tiny painter reacted on instinct. She knew that if she had used her head it would tell her that nobody would be dumb enough to rob a school while it was open. Yet sleep clouded her thoughts and she jumped off her bed clad in only her Goofy the dog t-shirt and Snoopy pajama pants. She grabbed her lamp and hid behind the door. She would show this attacker that size did not matter. She would make sure they knew to never mess with Alice Cullen.
When the door opened she acted. Alice brought her arm down intent to smash the would be attackers head in with the porcelien lamp, but that guy had to be a mind reader. He seemed to be two steps ahead of her. Almost as if he had known she was coming, the still unknown person spun around to block the blow with his forarm. The other hand went to the small of her back when she stumbled since she had no been prepared for the guy to block.
Alice quickly reached out with her free hand to click on the lamp. She saw the person happened to a boy around her age with a goofy smile and russet skin. He was tall and almost ended up being twice her hieght. He had short black hair and dark eyes. He should seem scary and yet he did not give off that kind of vibe. He kind of reminded her of Jacob Black with the way his smile was almost blinding. Maybe they were of relation? Definately not brothers, but maybe they were cousins?
The tiny painter made sure to wear her best intimidating expression. She had years to prefect and was proud to say that she had done a good job of doing so. "Who are you and why are you in Leah and I's dorm room?"
"Woah there shorty I am her brother Seth." He said let go of her. He couldn't hold back a chuckle at the fact someone so small could pull of looking so darn mean. His eyes flickered to her weapon of choice. "You can put the lamp down any second."
"You're Leah's brother?" She asked sceptically beore taking another good look at him. It clicked in her mind that she did recognize him. She had seen him in pictures that her roommate carried around with her. She also talked about him non freaking stop. "Oh yeah I have seen you in pictures. What are you doing here?"
Seth grinned proudly and pointed to himself with his thumb. "I just got accepted here actually and I wanted to tell my sister the good news."
"You are going to be a student here? Are you a dancer to?" The small pixie like girl asked smiling back at him.
If he was half as good as Leah then she knew instantly why her father had accepted him. Carlisle never could let talent go by if he could some how manage to get his hands on it. Sometimes she thought of her dad as an art collector of sorts. He collected talented students and she that as art in it's own strange way.
"That would be me. I'm the better street dancer between my sister and I." Seth responded and plopped down on the bed he knew had to belong to his sister. It wasn't made and the comforter had little silver wolves all over it. Leah absolutely adored wolves of any kind. Minus black ones since she thought they were to boring.
The midget painter could not help it when she laughed this time outloud. She liked this boy. He reminded her of himself. His relationship with his sister reminded her of she and Edward used to be. How they still were when he was not being a jerk. "Ha! Don't let Leah hear you talking like that."
"I'm good at keeping a secret. It should be you who needs to not tell Leah that I know I am a better dancer than her." The Quilette male placed his hands behind his head. He smirked up at Alice.
She went to sit on her own bed. Her legs dangling over the edge as she kicked them back and forth. She wasn't tired anymore. In fact she seemed to be wide awake. His hyper personality must have some how fueled hers. "You don't have to worry about me. I pinky promise to keep my mouth shut. I do not want to be responsible for someone's death. Especially not someone as cute as you."
"You think I'm a cute?" Seth asked and sat up. Of all the things he had ever been called, cute was not on that list. Adorable maybe, but never had he been accused of being cute in his entire life.
Alice nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah kind of like a puppy I had when I was four."
The La Push boy dancer let his brow pull together. Now he was being compared to a dog? "I think I take offense to that comment."
"You shouldn't though because Lucky was adorable." She stated and picked up a picture on her night stand of a little beagle puppy with a blue bow wrapped around it's neck. "I got him for my birthday and he finally passed away a year or two ago when my brother's friend got his lisence and ran him over when he pulled in to the driveway. I was heartbroken and Jasper tried to fix it by getting me a kitten, but it just wasn't the same you know?
Then the kitten had a horrible accident when my grandmother went to do a load of laundry and she did not know M&M had climbed in there when she wasn't looking. I haven't had a pet since. I am to tramatized and freaked out by the thought of what could happen to this next one. I wanted a pony and my dad said I couldn't. So I settle for virtual animals on my computer. You can't kill them as easily as real ones and you don't have to feed them a lot. Though I had a digi-pet and he died when I sat on it. I have bad luck with animals of any kind so maybe it is good I was not allowed to get a horse."
"You are a little wierd did you know that?" The russet skinned male told her after he had listened to her rant. "Though that is ok because I like wierd. How would you like to get lunch with me tomorrow? I don't officially start until Monday and I figured that maybe you could give me a tour? If you don't want to I completely understand."
The painter grinned and jumped to her feet. All she had to do was convince her dad at the family dinner tonight. She was sure she could do since last year he told her she could date this year and it was now this year. She could always enlist the help of her mother if given no choice. Edward may give her a hard time, but she could always ignore him. Plus she could use the fact he had just gotten back with Bella to work to her advantage. If he was allowed to date then she should be allowed to do the same.
"I would love to! Meet me here around eleven?" She questioned and when he nodded she shot him a brilliant smile in the way only Alice Cullen could. She led him out and told him where to find his sister. When he left she leaned against he door and squealed with delight.
TBC...
AN: I actually really liked how this chapter came out. I think it came out rather well! Who likes the Seth/Alice moment? I thought that was adorable. They are so alike it is not even funny. Also, the Edward and Leah moment amused me. There will be more of Leah/Edward in the next chapter. There will also be the family dinner with the Cullen's plus Jasper since he eats with them most nights. Let me know if you liked this chapter or not.
Please R&R like always!
Preview for the next chapter:
"Please dad!" "He is a really nice guy and it is only lunch. You met him and so you know he is a good kid. Plus he is Leah's brother and she wouldn't let me go out with him if he is a scumbag. Please daddy? Please? he is such a sweet guy and he is so cute."
"Carlisle dear I really do not see the problem it is only lunch after all."
"I don't know-"
"You let Edward go out with Bella all the time. I am not asking to date Seth, I just want to to have lunch and show him around. Won't it be good for the school? Showing him around and being polite? You always tell me to be polite to others. It would be rude to not show up."
"Alright I suppose one lunch can't hurt. You are to have your phone with you at all times and you need to text your mother or I a few times alright?"
"I promise daddy!" "You are the best father ever!"
"What?"
"No way!" "Dad you can't be serious!"
"I have to agree with Edward Mr. and Mrs. Cullen. What do you really know about this boy?"
"Shut up Jasper. This is a family meeting and you are not part of it."
"Alice do not talk to Jasper like that. He is a guest after all."
"Yeah Alice I am a guest."
"More like a pest."
"Alice behave!"
"He started it!"
AND
"You tell your brother to stay away from my sister!"
"Excuse you?"
"You heard me Leah." "That's my baby sister he is going to corrupt."
"Hey if anyone should be worried about anyone corrupting anyone, it is your sister infecting my brother."
"If you are so worried about his safety then tell him to leave her alone."
"It is her right to date who he wants."
"They aren't dating!"
"God your fucking touchy." "Can you leave now? I am not going to help you ruin my brothers first date. I have homework to do so go get bent. If you do anything to cause my brother unhappiness then I swear you will regret it. Besides, isn't a bit hypocritical of you to tell your sister she cannot date when you have a girlfriend? Alice isn't a lot younger than you."
"That is not the point!"
"Actually yeah it is." "Do yourself a favor and stop playing big brother on her. It will only cause her to rebel against your wishes."
"I just want her to be safe."
"You think my brother would hurt her?" "Answer very carefully."
