Thanks for the reviews guys!
Don't worry about Bella, she's going to figure out everything soon. She just doesn't trust herself, you know?
Yay, questions to answer! Both are from a reader: stupidlamb.
Q: Will Tanya be staying in your storyuntil its over? or will the gang find a way to get her like expelled or something?
A: Um, we don't really know yet. I mean, you wouldn't want to go to a school until you graduate having someone ruin it for you, right? We'll figure things out as we write.
Q: do you guys mind me asking, are any of these arguements/situations based on real life experiences?
A: Wow, you're good! :) Yes, some of these situations are based on real life experiences. One of them is the relationship between Bella&Edward.
Kate went through the same thing. She liked this guy, who liked her back. But they took it slow, being friends, so they'd get to know eachother better. Then the guy's ex-girlfriend got in the way and caused so much drama. She and the guy fought, then became friends, then fought.. and yeah, you know what we mean. It's the whole Bella&Edward thing going on :P But, in the end, they realized everything. The whole thing was just bringing them together, closer. And since then, they've been dating. In 1 month it's ther 3rd year anni! :D
So, we try to put real life situations into this story to make it sound realistic.
Anyway, enough with the chit chat! Enjoy!
I groaned as Casey poked my shoulder a few times. "Bella wake up!"
"What the hell do you want?" I half lifted my head from my pillow with one eye open. My voice was raspy. Yeah, I was grumpy in the mornings when someone woke me up.
"Bella it's 10 minutes to the bell. Come on Bella! Get up!" She pulled the blanket off of me. I jumped up.
"10 minutes? You're joking right?" I only had about 5 minutes to get ready.
"Yeah, Alice and Rose thought you were already up so they left but when I noticed you weren't with the guys I came back and you were still sleeping."
I groaned. "Oh my God!" I got up and ran to my closet. I pulled out a pair of blue plaid shorts and a white tank top along with white flip flops. I had no time to look cute today. I quickly put them on and ran out of my closet and into the bathroom quickly brushing my teeth. I didn't dare look at myself in the mirror. I would only spend an hour fixing up my hair. I ran to my room and grabbed my bag next to my desk.
"I just called Emmett. The three of them are coming up with your french vanilla and muffin." She was a life saver. I'm disappointed I didn't get to know her longer.
"Wait, did you just say three?" I didn't want to see him. Not now at least. Things were still pretty horrible between me and Edward. He hooked up with girls and would bring them to our table during lunch. It was killing me on the inside. And now that Tanya was coming back today, God knows what he's going to do with her.
Casey put her hands on my shoulders. "Look, Bella I know things are pretty harsh between you two but he's still our friend Bella. He can't just leave and hang out with other people."
I folded my arms against my chest. "He can too. He's friends with the whole school."
She rolled her eyes as the doorbell rang. "Be on your best behavior."
I gave her a fake smile. "Yeah, of course."
I took a moment to relax myself. I didn't want to see him. Seriously. But what choice did I have? I walked down slowly to meet them. Emmett and Jasper pulled me into a hug and gave me my cup and muffin. It was already warm to drink fast enough. I took a bite of the muffin and set it down. This was all I needed. I was good enough until lunch.
I heard some other chick's voice. It wasn't mine, or Casey's. Definitely not Alice or Rose's either. My eyes shot to Edward for the first time. I noticed the red head, Jamie, had her arms wrapped around him as he did the same. I rolled my eyes at the sight. How dare he think he could come up here with a slut?
"Oh, Edward." she said slowly as she caressed his chest. She was only doing that because she saw me looking at her. I tuned the both of them out. I didn't want to hear what they were saying.
"Bells come on, we're going to be late." Emmett looked at the clock impatienty.
"You guys don't have to wait for me, I'm perfectly fine on going to class myself." I folded my arms against my chest as I looked at the clock. I had 5 minutes to get to class. But my building wasn't far so I could leave in two minutes. "And since when did you decide to give me a nickname? Only Charlie, my dad, calls me that."
He shrugged. "Well we wanted too and I could think of something else then?"
I shook my head as Jasper picked up my big TNA bag. "No it's fine. And Jasper I can carry it myself."
He shook his head. "This thing is heavy what the hell do you keep in here? A hippo?"
Casey laughed. "Only you would think of that."
I groaned. "Can we stop with giving Bella special treatment?"
Jamie laughed. Oh yeah, by the way, what did happen to her? I haven't seen her with Edward in a long time. Meh, whatever. "Oh, Bella, you're in IEP?"
Alright, that's it! This red head is outta here. I glared at her as Casey pulled me back. "Don't ever step one foot in this room again." I said. My tone was fierce.
She scowled. "Bitch."
"Alright that's it!" Before I could launch myself at her, Emmett picked me up threw me over his shoulders. "Emmett put me down!"
Casey locked the door behind us and ran to our side with Jasper. Edward and Jamie were behind us. I glared at the two of them as they walked hand in hand. I could hear her complaining to him. "And to think that you actually liked her Edward, God, what were you thinking? She's like some kind of animal!"
I growled. "EMMETT FUCKING CULLEN PUT ME DOWN NOW!"
"No Bella, we're going to be late."
"I don't care put me down!" I elbowed his neck. He finally put me down. I didn't care if I was going to be late for class. This bitch just crossed my path. I ran up to her.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" I yelled.
She gave me a bitchy look. "Wow, I was right, you are an animal."
Emmett was behind me. "I wouldn't say that if I were you."
I growled at her. "You stupid fucking bitch!" I was about to jump on her but again, Emmett pulled me back.
Edward made a disgusted face. "Don't ever call her that again!" He yelled.
"Oh, so what, you're on her side Edward? What the fuck happened to, 'I need you Bella, I love you, the only girl I want in my life is you'? Bullshit Edward! That's all that comes out of your mouth!" Shit, the waterworks were coming.
Jamie's eyes widened. "Please Bella, the only girl he'll ever love is me. You're nothing but a slut Swan. You're better off with Mike Newton."
She was just like Tanya. "You son of a-!"
"Bella calm the fuck down!" Edward yelled. He turned to Jamie and put his arm around her. "Let's go." She stuck up her middle finger at me as the two walked away.
"God she's just like Tanya!" I mumbled.
"Bella what's gotten into you?" Jasper was at my side. His arm around my shoulders.
"I'm sorry," I cried. "I lost it." When I was angry, I swore a lot. It was a habit I could never get over.
"The hell you did! I thought you were going commit a crime back there! And we'd have to back you up." Emmett said.
"Are you sure you're well enough to get to class?" Casey asked.
I nodded. "I'm fine." I wiped my last tear.
"Alright but if you need anything you know we're here." The three of them assured me. I kissed each of them on the cheek lightly.
"I love you guys." It was true. They were the world's greatest friends. I couldn't ask for more.
"We love you too Bella. You're family." A family huh? I liked that.
I walked to my locker, the teachers were so fed up with me always bringing my bags in class. We weren't allowed to do that. It wasn't my fault they didn't speak up sooner. So I had no choice but to open up my locker and shove my bag in. I quickly took out my books and ran to class.
I was only 5 minutes late. Big deal right? Wrong. I got a freaking detention after school! I had better things to do. I took my seat next to Angela after the teacher humiliated me in front of everyone. It's been a long time since I've spoken to Angela but I never had the time too. Math period was always busy so we never got the chance to speak. And I hardly see her after that. It was weird.
Tanya glanced in my direction a few times all period. I noticed that her hair was back to the sickening strawberry blonde. It wasn't her colour. Not at all. It looked horrible. She was better off with the purple.
The bell finally rang after endless algebra questions. No doubt I had a shitload of math homework tonight. I was about to put my books back in my bag but I realized I didn't have it with me. God, that's going to take a long time to get use to.
Tanya didn't wait up for me in class. She waited outside of class. She was leaning against my locker. I had to face her either way. Casey was by her side, under cover though. She gave Tanya the impression that she was only hanging out with me so she could feed Tanya all this crap about me and my friends. Tanya was more stupid than me sometimes.
She cleared her throat. "It's so nice to see you Swan." She said with fake enthusiasm.
I waved my hand in the air. "Yeah, yeah you too. Now get on with it Denali."
She folded her hands against her chest. "So I heard about the fight between you and Edward." My eyes flashed to Casey. She shook her head informing me she wasn't the one who told her.
"And?" I didn't have time for her chit chat.
"Told you I'd win. I always have, always will." She spat at me.
I wiped her disgusting salyva off my face. "The game's not over yet Denali."
"Oh yeah?" she raised her eyebrow at me. "Who says?"
I grinned at her. Not a nice grin. I just did it to annoy her. "Me. Now if you'll excuse me, you're in my way and I have a class to get too."
She held her hand out, stopping me from getting access to my locker. "Not so fast Swan."
"Get out of my way Tanya."
Lauren flipped her hair. "Tanya doesn't like to be spoken to like that."
I glared at Lauren. "Well then that's too bad. I hope she enjoys disappointment."
And with that, Tanya slapped me in the face. I rubbed the burning spot on my cheek. I felt something liquidy. I looked at my hand it had a line of blood. I became angry. No, not angry. Cheesed to the max. And it wasn't my fault I couldn't control my anger. I launched myself at her as we restled on the floor. "Bitch!" she yelled.
I saw that we now had an audience. I could pick out a few people from the crowd. Alice, Rose, Emmett, Jasper oh and look who we have here, Edward.
She rolled on top of me as she pulled my hair. Which was clearly the only move she had. But to my surprise she slapped my face a few times. I got a glimpse of her nails. Oh, no wonder I got cuts on my cheek. Looks like the witch doesn't own a nail cutter.
I was able to kick her off of me. I crawled to Casey who helped me up. "Ugh!" Tanya shrieked. "I hate you Swan!" She ran back to me, she fell and pulled me down with her. I banged my head on the ground hard. Ouch!
I quickly got up before she could. "What the hell is your damage Tanya?" I glared at her.
Before she could do anything, Edward squeezed through the crowd and held Tanya back. She gave me one of her bitchy smiles as she turned around and locked lips with Edward.
All I could hear in the background was, "Ooh-ing". I shook my head in defeat. I was done with fighting. For now, at least. I turned my back to walk away. "Admit it Swan, I won." Tanya yelled behind me.
I turned around and stuck up my middle finger. "Keep dreaming Denali." I was able to squeeze out of the crowd and meet up with Alice, Rose, Casey, Serena, Emmett and Jasper at the end.
Alice was in front of me, examining the scratches Tanya had left. "Does it burn?"
I didn't feel anything until Alice asked. I nodded.
"That Tanya is getting on my nerves! She always has and always will!" Rose said through her teeth. She was as angry as I was.
"Oh my God Bella! I didn't see it coming! I would of stopped her! I'm so sorry!" Casey said beside me.
I shook my head. "It's ok. You didn't know. It's not your fault."
"Bells you gonna be okay?"
I nodded. "Stop worrying about me and get to class."
I quickly ran to the bathroom to clean up the blood. It burned a little but it wasn't that bad.
I was late for second period. But was it my fault they only gave us five minutes to get our books for the next class? And was it my fault that the building second period was in was across campus? And was it my fault I had to take care of a witch who took up my five minutes? Nope. But thank God my science teacher was nice enough to not give me detention.
I was happy when the bell rang. But unhappy when the teacher shouted, "I want a full lab report handed in tomorrow! I will not be accepting it after class."
I met up with Casey outside my building. She too had lunch third period. Casey went to Arby's and bought her lunch. I stole her box of curly fries as we sat down on the table. "Hey!" She laughed.
I shoved a fry in my mouth. "Yum." I turned my head to Em and Jas. "Sup things?" I extended my fist. They punched it back.
"The usual." Emmett shrugged.
"Same, same." Jasper agreed.
I sighed as I popped a few more fries in my mouth. "These are addicting."
They laughed. "You have weird addictions Swan."
I smiled proudly. "I'm weird and proud. So what?"
"You're not just weird," Emmett stared up at the sky. "You're like circus freak weird." He laughed.
I punched him in the chest. "Hey!" He rubbed the spot I had hit.
"That's what you get when you mess with the Bella Swan." Casey laughed.
We all joined in with her until the other Cullen sat down with no other than, Tanya.
Edward nodded at us. "Emmett, Jasper, Casey, Isabella." He greeted us one by one. Ugh he used my full name.
Tanya wrapped her arm around Edward's. "Edward," she purred. "Do we have to sit with your little freakish friends?"
I took in deep breaths. To calm myself. Emmett noticed. He put his arm around me. "Bella, relax." He whispered in my ear.
Tanya glared at me then turned her torso to Casey. "Casey!" She gave her a peck on the cheek. "I thought you'd finally ditch these losers after hanging out with them so much. Aren't they like so, boring? God Casey." She was making it look like Casey ditched her for us. She was annoying. And pissing me off.
"You better shut that mouth of yours Denali." I spat out.
She glared at me. "Well than that's too bad. I hope you enjoy disappointment." She mimicked me.
I wasn't going to fight with her. Not physically. Not today. I've had enough of that. Edward looked up at me. There was something wrong with his expression. He wasn't angry. He wasn't happy. He was... hurt.
I sighed. "Nothing, nothing at all." I leaned my back onto my seat. Emmett's hand tightened on my shoulder.
Edward's eyes flashed to mine. I quickly looked away. I didn't want to see any more guilt. Tanya noticed he was staring at me. At that second, she sat onto his lap and threw her arms around his neck. She pulled his head closer to hers and locked lips with him.
They were having a full make out session in front of us. It was so pathetic of her. I couldn't stand it anymore. I tilted my head to whisper in Emmett's ear. "Can we go please?"
He nodded once and looked at Jasper. Jasper nodded and got up. I looked at Casey as she nodded too. The four of us got up. They were still making out like crazy in front of us. Their hands tangled in eachother's hair. Like, get a room!
Edward noticed we got up. He pulled away to Tanya and looked at me. Only me. I rolled my eyes and walked away. Em and Jas stayed back to tell Edward we were going then he caught up to us.
"Are you okay?" Casey asked. She linked her arm with mine.
I shook my head. "I was going to loose it back there."
"I'll be having a talk with my idiot brother later on." Emmett's tone was filled with anger.
"No don't."
He shook his head. "I won't listen to you Bella. I'm going to talk to him."
I groaned. "Fine but whatever you do don't even give him the impression that I told you to talk to him because I don't want you to and I never asked you."
He nodded. "Yeah, yeah."
"So where to now?" Jasper asked.
"You guys go ahead. I think I'm gonna chill in my dorm until the period is over." I wanted to cry again. I was so angry. I was upset. I had different emotions going on at the same time. It hurt. I was hurt.
"Are you gonna be okay?" Jasper was always the one who knew my feelings inside and out.
"Yes, can you guys just go please?" I looked at them as the both of them pulled me into a hug.
"Later Bells." The both of them walked away.
Casey and I walked back to my dorm.
I ran into my room the second I opened the door. Casey came running after me. I jumped onto my bed and burried my face in my pillow.
"Why do things have to be like this?" I whispered.
Casey brushed my hair gently with her hand. "Bella, Tanya's just doing this for her own fun. It'll be over soon. You just have to get up and keep walking. Don't let her trip you."
I sighed as I wiped my tears. I didn't want to cry anymore. Crying was my weakness. "I just wish he wouldn't do that in front of me."
She sighed. "Edward's a good guy Bella. I just... he's not himself these days."
"All because of me." I whispered.
She shook her head. "No Bella. It was his decision to hook up with all these girls. You had nothing to do with it."
I groaned. "Kay you know there's no point of me blaming myself when you guys are just going to keep going against it."
She smiled lightly. "He's not worth your tears Bella."
Were my tears really for Edward? This whole time I was crying because of how much I was hurt. Not for Edward. Not for anyone. But was I really? I didn't want to think about this anymore. I got up. "You're right. He's not."
She smiled again. "Good. We should go." Her stomache growled.
I laughed. "Alright."
"Sorry, I'm sort of hungry."
I shook my head, laughing. "Same. Now come on." I grabbed her by the wrist.
Biology was boring. The teacher paired us up to work on an assignment he planned out. I was paired up with a guy named Roemello. But I called him Mello. We spoke to each other a few times during biology. He was a sweet guy. Not like all the other jerks in this school. But I wouldn't date him. I liked him as a friend. And friends only.
After class he asked if I could sing in the talent show with him. I didn't know what to say so I agreed like the idiot I was. I was already doing so many performances but I didn't want to hurt him. He was a nice guy. The song we were doing was a duet with Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown. I think it was called, "No Air". Oh, did I mention he sort of looked like Chris Brown? Not to mention his smile. Gah it looked exactly like his!
"Aiight, so just go over the lyrics and we'll meet up sometime this week. We're not gonna do any dance moves so it'll be a quick practice." He said.
I nodded. "Great." Yes! No more dancing!
"Cool. I'll see you later." He waved.
Oh my God. What was wrong with me these days?
I headed off to drama. Oh great, Mike was going to be there. Not to mention Shawn. I wonder if he was going to act all bitchy like Tanya and everyone else.
"Hey guys," I smiled as I sat down with our group. "What's up?" I was only acting friendly because I didn't want to cause any drama that wasn't suppose to happen in drama class.
Shawn just waved at me. While Mike glared at me. I chose to ignore him. Who knows what my anger would lead me to do?
I looked at Serena. She was looking down at the table. She was still hurt I guess. And the fact that Shawn was in our class made it harder for her. Poor Serena.
Class went slow today. We all faked enthusiasm as we played our skit over and over again.
The bell finally rang. Serena and Mike dashed out of the room. I held Shawn back. I needed to talk to him. "Shawn, can I talk to you?"
"Yeah, what's up Bella?"
I shrugged. "It's, Serena..."
"Oh." he whispered.
I nodded. "What happened Shawn?"
He sighed. "Tanya threatened me. I didn't want Serena to get hurt so I broke up with her. I told her I was falling for Tanya."
"What did Tanya say to you?"
He shrugged. "She said if I didn't stay away from her, she'd do something horrible. She wouldn't tell me what she'd do but I didn't, whatever it was that she'd do... I don't want Serena to end up on Tanya's bad side. You know how she can be. The only thing I could do was break up with her."
Tanya! That... ugh! I was speechless. I didn't know what to say next. "Look," he said. "I gotta get to class. Just, please, watch out for her. Tell her I love her." And with that he walked away.
Tanya was behind this the whole time. Shawn wasn't trying to hurt Serena at all. It was all Tanya. How could she do this? She's hurting everyone around me. This was nonsense.
I walked to gym class dreadfully. Tanya was going to be there. Along with her sidekick, Jessica. Ugh great. What a wonderful way to end such a perfect day. I rolled my eyes in sarcasm.
I met up with Rose outside the change room. My anger was increasing. I was going to give Tanya a peice of my mind. "Whoa, Bella. Can you relax please?"
I shook my head. "No Rose. Tanya got to Shawn. Who else is next huh? We can't just let her do these things!" I yelled.
"Bella I know she's a bitch and all but please. Don't do anything. Not now. What happened to ignoring her? Then kicking her ass in the competition?" She said.
"You know what? Fine. But if she says one word to me I'm not keeping any promises." I stormed into the change room.
I quickly got changed. Tanya wasn't here yet. But as soon as I was going to enter the gym, her sickening voice called my name. "Swan."
I looked at Rose. I looked from her to the door informing her to go in. She nodded and disappeared behind the door.
"What do you want Tanya?" My tone was fierce.
"I saw the video of you and Emmett," she smiled. "I didn't know you could fit into Victoria Secret's bras. Since your chest is so deflated." She laughed. Jessica laughed with her.
"Good one Tanya." She high fived her.
I rolled my eyes. I was controlling my temper. "I'm sorry to disappoint you." I said. "Now are you done?"
She scowled. "It's too bad about Serena and Shawn. You know, they were a great couple," she grinned. "Until of course, Shawn finally opened his eyes and realized what a cockass Serena was. And of course that she was useless. What was he thinking?"
I growled at her. "Don't you ever call her that again! And Shawn's eyes were perfectly clear. You just got in the way. You and your freaking trolls!"
She folded her hands against her chest. "So what Swan? There's nothing you can do about it now. He's all mine. So is Edward. And I'll be getting your friends, Emmett and Jasper on my side too. Just watch."
"You are so full of shit Tanya. I can't believe you would do all of this just to bring me down. Well you know what? I'm fed up with your bullshit. You can have Edward. I don't want him." I yelled at her.
"Good." she said.
"But you better leave my friends alone. They have done nothing wrong to you. This is between me and you Tanya." I tried my best not to beat the crap out of her. It would look bad on my college applications.
"You're right. They didn't do anything wrong," she grinned. "So now that I have Edward you won't have to worry about your friends anymore." She walked away and into the gym with Jessica glaring at me behind her.
I sat on the bench in front of the lockers. I put my head in my hands. I didn't care if helping my friends meant giving up Edward. We weren't friends anymore right? So why did it matter. Tanya would leave my friends alone. That's all I cared about. I sighed and entered the gym.
Today was a horrible day. And it just keeps getting worse.
Alright, the competition is like two chapters away!
So, the next chapter will have some practicing going on in it. We know, boring stuff. Haha.
And don't worry Bella & Edward WILL hook up !
Like she said, she doesn't trust herself but she'll gain that trust soon.
Anyway, did we disappoint you? We hope not!
