Just a quick note in relation to the last chapter

Before you get too angry at Edward remember that this Edward is not the perfect, inhuman, 108 yr old vampire trapped in a 17 year old body that we know and love. He's human and he's actually a 17 yr old boy and he does make mistakes. Plus, he was drunk. lol.

Chapter 11 now. Hope you like it!

I sighed. "Alice I got to go. Dad's yelling at me to get off the phone."

"What? But it's only been what, ten minutes?" She said.

"Fifteen actually, that's my time limit on the phone. All part of the punishment." I sighed again deeply.

"Wow, your dad sure doesn't hold back with his punishments."

"Exactly, you would think that he would be more lenient seeing as I've never done anything like that before, but he's a cop, he believes wholeheartedly in punishment."

"Bella if you don't come off that phone right now!-" my dad bellowed from downstairs.

"Whoa!" Alice cried, "I better let you go then. I'll see you at school tomorrow. Wait, you are allowed to go there right?"

She snickered.

"It's about the only place I'm allowed to go. Night Al."

"Night Bells." She replied and hung up the phone.

I lay back on my bed thinking about this past weekend.

I had gotten grounded of course, indefinitely. I had to earn my way back into my dad's good books. To be fair, dad was quite lenient with me in general, I didn't have a curfew; I just had to tell him where I was and what time I'd be back. He allowed me to go out whenever and almost wherever I wanted as long as I didn't lie to him. It wasn't the fact that I had gone to an unsupervised party where there was alcohol and drugs that pissed him off, (though he was pretty pissed about that too, don't get me wrong) it was the fact that I'd lied to him and betrayed the trust he gave me.

So when I thought of it that way, I guess I deserved my punishment.

I thought back to the party. I had gotten all dressed up for nothing, totally wasted my outfit. I didn't really enjoy myself at all – and I didn't even see Edward. Plus, I had also caused a fight.

I thought of the cute guy named Jake.

I wondered what school he went to, he definitely didn't go to Forks High, I would know him if he did. Why was he so quick to jump to my rescue? I mean, I was grateful an all because Mike was being a total ass, but he didn't even know me and he got into a fight because of me. I wanted to thank him.

I wondered if I'd ever see him again.

Monday morning, I waited outside my front door for Alice. She was going to make us late. I looked over at my truck longingly. My dad had taken away my keys so I wasn't allowed to drive it.

Yet, another part of the punishment.

So, Alice was going to give me a lift to school every morning until he was ready to let me have my keys back.

I looked at my watch. We really were going to be late now, it had started drizzling and I didn't want to get my raincoat.

I didn't want to cover up my outfit.

For the first time in ages, thanks to Alice, I liked what I was wearing. I didn't frown at my selection of clothes this morning because I had a whole new bunch to pick from. I had worn some tight fitting blue skinny jeans with a tight, white V-neck sweater. Because I felt good this morning about what I was wearing, I had also added eye-liner to my eyes and a bit of silver eye-shadow with my usual mascara and lip-gloss. I had put on some silver studs in my ears and I put my hair in a high ponytail, which was unusual as I usually kept my hair down so I could hide behind it.

Alice turned up finally and I jumped in the Porsche.

"Alice, you know we're going to be late right?" I scolded, "What took you so long?"

"I know, I know. I'm sorry," she said, reversing speedily down my drive, "I couldn't find my hairspray, and you know my spikes won't hold up in the rain without hairspray."

I shook my head in disbelief and didn't even bother to reply.

She was driving fast, faster than normal, racing to try to get to school before the bell. We got there just as the bell was sounding and sprinted to French class.

Mr Rosa glared at us as we stumbled in, panting heavily, but he didn't say anything. We grinned at each other and collapsed in our seats.

We could hear some girls behind us whispering. I heard the name Tanya Denali and Edward Cullen and I tilted my head to side, listening intently.

"Yeah apparently they're dating. I heard that they were in Edward's room the whole night of the party on Friday." One whispered.

"No way! That Tanya is a lucky bitch. What I wouldn't give to spend the whole night in Edward's room." The other said and they both giggled.

Alice and I looked at each other, eyes wide.

"He wouldn't." Alice said incredulously, "With that skank? No, I don't believe it. It's probably just a rumour."

I didn't say anything. It was completely ridiculous as I didn't even speak to Edward, but I felt a surge of emotions run through me.

Disbelief, surprise, disappointment, disgust, jealousy, anger.

The anger was directed at Edward. How could he sleep with her? Tanya Denali of all people. Couldn't he see that she was a skank?

I was silently fuming for the rest of French and dreading the next class where I would have to sit next to him.

I got to our desk first, which was strange because he was always there before me. There was still a part of me that hoped it was just a rumour, that Edward hadn't touched that slut. But I looked up, and saw him strolling into the classroom with Tanya Denali wrapped around his waist. She leaned up and kissed his cheek and sat at her desk. Jessica Stanley was walking behind them, scowling, and when they sat down at their desk and Tanya looked at her she had a bright smile quickly replacing the scowl.

I sat motionless at the desk, my attention completely focused on the board. I didn't glance at Edward when he sat down, nor acknowledge his nod and smile. I stayed like that for the whole lesson, staring straight ahead of me, completely ignoring the person sitting beside me. I also ignored the person at the desk on my right mouthing stuff to him whenever the teacher's back was turned. I thought I caught him looking at me a few times from the side of my eye but I wasn't sure as I didn't focus on him.

As I walked through the halls, all I could hear was talk about Edward and Tanya. I inwardly groaned.

It was going to be a long day.

Lunch was the worst. Tanya sat next to Edward and she couldn't keep her hands off him. She was touching his face every minute, stroking his hair, kissing his cheek, whispering in his ear, I could even see her hand moving under the table and I guess she was stroking his leg.

It was sickening.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one who thought that because Rosalie, Alice and Jessica – as well as most of the female population at Forks High – were shooting her murderous glares that brought the phrase, 'if looks could kill' to mind. Emmett was teasing them, making crude jokes and suggestive comments and Tanya and Jasper were laughing. I didn't hear Edward laugh.

I didn't look in their direction at all.

Mike Newton came over to our lunch table; he didn't sit with us today, probably embarrassed by his behaviour at the party. He had a dark bruise under one eye and his jaw was swollen. He came over to me, looking remorseful and ashamed and started apologizing profusely.

I sighed, "Mike, its ok. Just forget it."

"No, it's not ok Bella, I was a total jerk."

"You got that right." Alice muttered.

"Yeah, you were a jerk." I said indifferently, "But whatever, it's done, you've apologized, just let it go."

"Can I make it up to you somehow?"

I was getting pissed off. I was not in the mood for any bullshit from Mike Newton today. "You know how you can make it up to me Mike?" I asked.

He brightened up, waiting for my answer.

"How about you just leave me alone? I don't want to go out with you; I'm not interested so just....stay away."

Jasper, Emmett, Tyler and Rosalie snickered.

Alice laughed, "You heard the girl Mike."

Mike looked defeated, "Ok. If that's what you want. I'm sorry."

He shuffled away, his head hung low.

I was glad when the school day was over. After my last class, I hurried over to the parking lot to wait for Alice by her car. There was a motorcycle parked just outside the front entrance of the school and a guy was leaning against it.

A tall guy, with pretty reddish-brown skin, short black hair and almond shaped eyes. He was wearing blue jeans, big boots, another tight fitting black t shirt with a logo and a black leather jacket. The black motorcycle he leaned against was fairly new-looking; it was a Honda, quite large but with a streamline design.

I froze momentarily. He spotted me, smiled and motioned for me to go to him, straightening up. I walked over to him nervously.

"Hey." He said, smiling wider, showing me a row of straight, white teeth.

"Hi." I replied. I could feel my face heating up.

"You're probably wondering who I am and what I'm doing here right?" he asked, light-heartedly.

"Err...actually; I kind of know who you are. You're the guy from the party right? The one who got into the fight."

He seemed surprised, "yeah, I didn't think you'd remember what I looked like. I came to see if you were ok, you know, check if you still had your arm intact." He grinned.

I chuckled. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you. I mean, for trying to help at the party and then coming to check to see if I was ok."

"No problem. I felt bad for just running out like that afterwards but you know; the cops were there and everything...." he trailed off, staring at me for a few seconds. "Anyway, I figured that you probably went to Forks High, so I decided to just show up and see if I could spot you. I'm Jacob by the way, Jacob Black."

He held out his hand for me to shake.

"Bella Swan." I said taking it, "so what school do you go to?"

"I'm in college." He said, "I go to the University of Washington."

"Oh, right." I said; no wonder I hadn't seen him around.

The parking lot was full now, and people were staring at me and Jacob. I started getting uncomfortable. I think Jacob did too because he picked up his helmet.

"Well, I got to get going now. Nice meeting you Bella." He held his hand out again, "I'll see you around." He squeezed my hand quickly and flashed me those pearly white teeth again, put on his helmet and sped out of the parking lot.

Alice ran over to me.

"Who was that?" she asked, watching me suspiciously.

"Jacob Black." I said.
