Sorry for my lack of updates lately. The real world is catching up to me as I prepare for finals. However, I am finally going to see New Moon tonight and I felt inspired to give you a little something to read while I go and bask in the hottness that is Jake/Taylor Lautner. So, enjoy. :D Oh and I have the next 20 or so chapters planned out so I should be (hopefully) getting a chapter out either once a day or every other day depending...

Bella POV

Today had already started out interesting. Angela wanted to do a piece in the paper that let the students of Forks get to know their Homecoming court. Without actually asking the court themselves. I was all for that until she said she was going to ask Jake. I thought maybe she had heard about what happened at Rosalie's party. She wasn't there so I knew she didn't see, but could she have already heard? Turns out she just wanted to ask him because we have known each other since we were little. Then in my first period, Tyler was being rude and Jessica stood up to me. Sure, we congenial with each other, but we weren't' the best of friends. I was thoroughly shocked.

It's lunchtime now, thank goodness, and nothing else strange has happened. Sure, the whole population of Forks High School was giving me strange looks, well almost all of them, but I expected that after having two gorgeous guys fight over me at a party. Why were they fighting over me, anyways? I wasn't anything special.

"Hey, Bella. Guess who has a date to homecoming?"

"You?"

"Hey...way to ruin it for me! But, yes. I'm going with Rosalie."

"Wow, Emmett...that's awesome."

"Thanks. So, tell me what happened at her party. I didn't see any of it. I was out back with Rose."

Leave it to Emmett to want to know about a fight. And, really, Rosalie? That just struck me as odd, but I guess it could work.

"What's their to tell? Both Jacob and Edward like me. They can't both have me, so they fight over me. Like children."

"I bet that was epic!"

I sat their in silence and gave him a pointed look. He laughed and started eating. That's when both Alice and Jasper joined us at the table.

"Hey guys! Bella, you never called me to tell me if Jacob and you made up!"

"Oh, sorry. Yes, Alice, we did. We spend Sunday together at La Push."

She smiled at me before picking at her food. Alice never ate a lot during lunch time, but I knew she ate tons at dinner, so I wasn't worried.

"Bella, I'm glad Jacob and you are okay again. It would be bad to have my best friend and my sister fighting."

I smiled at my brother. And the thought hit me. What would happen if I chose Edward? Jake and Jasper are best friends. This would affect him too. And what if Emmett and Rosalie become a thing? And I didn't chose Edward? Either way I chose, my closest friends would have to chose sides. I would be splitting up our group.

Jacob was no where to be seen at lunch. I was kind of sad at this. Was he sick? Was he avoiding me? I thought yesterday had went well. The bell finally rang and I headed on my way to class. I looked all in the halls but still didn't see him. I was starting to worry.

I finally got to class and took my seat next to Edward. As soon as the bell rang, Mr. Huckabee started his lesson. I was so busy worrying about Jacob that I didn't pay attention to anything. Until Edward's voice finally got through to me.

"Bella...Bella?"

"Huh?" I asked sheepishly.

"To know what you were thinking....what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Sure," he said as he smirked at me.

"Really. It's no big deal."

"Okay. So, I have a question to ask you. Since you won't be my date to Homecoming, will you wear my jersey to our game Friday?"

"I can't."

"Why not? It's not like it's the Homecoming game. It's just an ordinary game. And I like you, Bella."

"I'm...wearing Jake's."

His face turned from amused to angry in mere seconds. I didn't want to hurt him, but he had to realize that I have feelings for Jake too.

"I see."

"Edward...I like him too. A lot. He's..."

"Stop right there. I don't think I can handle you talking about him like that," he said interrupting me.

And he was right. It wouldn't be fair to him if I started talking about how much Jake meant to me. I liked both of them and neither guy would appreciate it.

"Sorry."

"It's okay. Look, let me take you out to dinner Saturday night. Please?"

How could I say no. He was sorta smiling again. Plus, I was doing something with Jake after the game and I was wearing his jersey. The least I could do was go out with Edward. I was still mildly curious and I really did like him.

"Sure, sure," I said, noticing my use of Jake's words.

He noticed it too as his face went from sort of smiling to sort of not. Why did I have to do that?

"Okay. I'll pick you up at seven?"

"Sure," I said making sure to not a second one.

He turned back to the lesson and I tried to pay attention. What was I going to do? Who would I ultimately chose?

Hope you liked it. Reviews would be nice. They make me smile. And want to write faster!
