Bella's POV

I walked into Mr. Matthew's class and took my seat next to Edward. To no surprise, the teacher wasn't even there. Ugh, jackass bailed.

I turned towards Edward. This was my only chance to talk to him in private without any disturbances.

"What do you want from me Edward? Why can't you just leave me be?" I asked. I can honestly say that being apart from him pained me, but I wasn't going to let him know that. I was never good with expressing my feelings in the first place, a trait I inherited from Charlie.

"Bella, I'm sorry for being such a burden on you. I trying to make things up to you... we all are. I thought I was helping." his sad eyes pleaded with me and I had to look away. He knew what he was doing to me, but showed no smugness. I shook my head. I needed to stay strong and show them that I don't need them or their help. They didn't give it when I needed it most. I tried to hold on to that thought as a reminder as to why I should be angry.

I am angry.

They told me they loved me but then turn around and betrayed me. I trusted and loved them all with everything, but I didn't even get a chance to explain to them what happened before they decided I could do something as disgusting and disloyal as cheat on Edward.

It made me sad to know that I couldn't trust my 'friends' like I thought I could... I thought I could trust the Cullens, but that was an epic fail. I wasn't even sure if I could trust Kyle, because fact-of-the-matter is I honestly thought that maybe he was responsible for the revealing of my secret. Whether or not it was an accident was what mattered most. He didn't seem like the type but people are dishonest and I haven't actually known him long enough to know exactly how manipulating he his. Words can be just (if not more) as deceiving as looks.

It made me sad to know that as close as we've become, he probably wasn't a true friend. I really hoped that wasn't the case. Seemed like Charlie was the only person that I could trust in this town now. The cheer squad was awesome and actually nicer than I thought they'd be (I thought I was gonna have to be a boss bitch), but I've seen Bring It On and though I knew this wasn't like the movies, you still have to be watchful. Friends close, enemies closer and what not.

I turned to the front of the classroom and avoided his gaze. I had nothing to say to him... Other than the fact that I wanted to know more about the Tanya situation.

My phone buzzed in my pocket and I fished it out, thinking maybe it was Kyle wondering where I

was. It wasn't. Instead it was a text from Derek. A 'friend' I met accidentally through texted one day and now won't leave me alone. He's been texting me everyday, wanting to be my boyfriend, though he doesn't know the real me. I told him a huge lie about how I lived in Louisiana like him and that my name was Sabrina. I even told him that I already had a boyfriend and that I had a baby boy named Masen who was fourteen months and that I worked at Subway. Derek was incredibly annoying and persistent. He always asked for me to send him pictures of myself; I did... They were fake though. Ones I had found on the internet. I even got Kyle to pretend to be her boyfriend and text him telling him to stop texting his girlfriend. We expected him to get defensive and angry but instead he did the opposite. He apologized and backed off. I texted him back though, saying that my boyfriend was just over-protective and controlling, just for my entertainment.

At first, I texted him as a joke and I thought it was funny, but guilt ate at me until I couldn't let him go on thinking he was really going to met this 'Sabrina'. So I ended it by telling him she was engaged. I felt incredibly bad when I realized that he wasn't a dick trying to get laid like I had thought, but actually just a really nice guy desperate to find a honest girl that'll love him. I almost cried. I toyed with his emotions and hurt him. I regret doing all of it and wished I was just honest from the start. I felt like the biggest bitch on earth. Go ahead and throw rotten tomatoes at me, I deserve it.

Derek: Mornin beauitful, the text read. I sighed and put my phone back in my pocket, not bothering to reply back. Ignoring his text was rude and it made me feel worse, but maybe he'd take the hint and stop texting me. It was easier than just telling him to fuck off or even just telling him the truth, though it's what he deserved.

"You should probably go eat," Edward's voice shook me out of my thoughts. "He won't show."

I nodded and lifted from my seat.

"Bella," his voice called when I reached the door. I turned around.

"Please. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, and the fact that you want us to leave you alone and understandable but Esme and Carlisle would like to see you sometime." He wouldn't keep eye contact and I pondered why. It wasn't like Edward.

"Okay," was all I said before I slipped out the door. I intended on seeing them today maybe.

I walked into the cafeteria and spotted Kyle and his weird hair due at the table farthest to the back. I made my way over and sat down next to Lexi. She looked bored listening to them Austin and Kyle go on about wrestling.

"Izzy! I was looking for you. I wanted to know if you wanted to go to Wal-Mart with me later." he winked.

Wal-Mart was more fun than anything to us, just because of the crazy things we do to get kicked out. Riding the display bikes, putting condoms in old ladies baskets when they aren't looking, trying to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway, and telling random people we love them then try to invite them to an orgy. He even put on a clown mask and asked random people if they knew where the knives were. Those were our best and each time we got in trouble. We did stuff like this until we got banned from the first one and had to go to the one in Port Angeles. The fun we had was worth it. We took so many pictures and they are things that'll I'll always cherish about out friendship. He made me feel like so much fun to be with. These are moments I wish I could've spent with the Cullens. I wish I was doing all these stupid with them instead and I could help but think that Emmett would be so proud of me if he found out I used Wal-Mart as my own personal playground.

"Eh, I don't know Kyle. I got some business to take care of. We'll see later," I told him. He looked disappointed and I hated to be the one to make him feel that way.

"Oh... Yeah alright," he said. "I'll just come up with some more stuff we can do."

I looked down, unsure of how to respond. Was he expecting me to give into him? Maybe he was more manipulating than I thought.

Sorry, it's so short and it took so long. I have no access to a computer anymore so I'm doing this on mY iPod.
