Bella POV:

After a great lunch with my friends, I walked into my Biology class with Edward, and all of a sudden, this girl threw herself at him, kissing him all over the place.

"Get your paws off my boyfriend!" I demanded, pushing her away.

"Don't you touch me with those grimy little hands, Isabella Swan. What does my boyfriend see in you?"

"She's got a big heart and a wonderful personality, unlike you, Tanya," Edward said, rolling his eyes and putting his arm around me. We kissed each other deeply until Tanya pulled me off Edward and threw me into a desk. I slowly got up, glaring at her. I ran to her, knocked her down on the ground, and started pulling her hair.

"You ugly bitch!" I screamed in her face. "He doesn't want you!"

"He's pretending! He loves me, don't you, Eddie?"

"Stop embarrassing yourself, Tanya. I love Bella. I see you stalking me every day, all day, and it's creeping me out. Stop fantasizing that you're with me, because you're not! Find someone else!"

"I really love you," I said, getting off Tanya and jumping into Edward's arms. She growled, "I'll get you next time, you little fucktard,"

"No, you won't. He'll never go for you,"

"Tanya, Bella, Edward, sit in your seats, please," we heard Mr. Molina say.

"Hi, Bella!" a cheery voice said out of the blue, and I jumped a mile in the air, clutching my heart and spinning around.

"Oh my god, Jane, you scared the shit out of me!" I exclaimed, taking some breaths to calm myself down.

"Sorry. I'll try not to sneak up on you. Do you hate surprises or something?"

"Yeah, I like to be prepared," I said, laughing nervously.

"That's the difference between the two of us. Like my dress?"

"I love your dress,"

"I convinced Mr. Molina to put us together as lab partners,"

"Oh, thanks, but I thought I was working with Edward,"

"I want us to work together. I want to know you more, in order for us to become friends. You see, I have no friends here. Everyone thinks I'm weird. Would you be my best girl friend?"

"Sure,"

"Thanks," she said, punching me lightly on the arm. "Wanna hang out after school?"

"I would, but I need to see Mr. Molina about our biology project,"

"I can take care of that, don't you worry," she assured me sweetly as she clapped me on the back twice. I winced, because it hurt a little. I didn't say anything, because I didn't want to sound like a big baby. I was working on having more of a backbone, and whining about a few claps to the back wouldn't help.

After school, Jane told me to stay at my locker while she talked to Mr. Molina for me. Then, Mom took us to La Push beach to hang out for a while. She offered to take a picture of us, but Jane politely declined. When my mom left, Jane sighed dramatically and we both walked to an empty toolshed.

"This is my spot where I go to think about things and write in my diary. No one is allowed to be here, it's forbidden. And you'll never know what's behind that door, because it's locked. Do you understand?" she asked, holding my arms tightly.

"Yes,"

"Good," she said, releasing her strong hold.

"Wanna see a picture I drew?" She showed me a picture of a couple almost naked and making out.

"That's a lovely drawing, but who are they?"

"My parents. They died in a fire,"

"I'm sorry to hear that,"

"My adoptive father is Caius,"

"That's nice,"

We did our homework at my house for a few hours, and then Jane had to go home right when Siobhan called to ask if Heidi was at our house playing with Emmett.

Jane called out, "Bye, Bella! See you tomorrow!"

"Bye, Jane," I called back. I saw my little brother staring up at me with confusion in his eyes.

"What is it, buddy?" I asked, ruffling Emmett's hair.

"Heidi wasn't in school today. She was in school until last Friday. Wasn't Jane a new student on Friday?"

"Yes, but what are you talking about?"

"Why does Jane go away whenever people say that Heidi's disappeared?"

"Maybe they're sisters and she's protecting Heidi?"

"Something weird's going on here,"

I was sleeping when some raps on the window woke me up. It was Jacob, professing his love for me. Poor kid, he had Asperger's and didn't get the message that I didn't love him back. As annoyed as I was at him, I tried my best to be patient with him. He was more like my kid brother than a potential boyfriend, because he acted Emmett's age. I opened the window.

"What are you doing?" I hissed.

"I'm keeping my promise!" he said, struggling to stay on top of the tree.

"When did you ever promise to kill yourself falling out of Charlie's tree?"

"Look, I'm watching over you, okay?"

"I'm fine, Jake. Relax and please go home. I don't want you to get hurt or get in trouble,"

"Ok, bye, Bella,"

"See ya,"

The next day at school, I had carpooled with Angela, Kate, Bree, Rachel, and Rebecca. We met up with our boyfriends and just started talking. I was in Edward's arms as he kissed my cheek.

"Hey, Bella, do you want to sleep over at my house this Friday? We could get ready for the wedding together and hang out!" Angela said excitedly.

"Sure, that would be great!"

"Bella!" Jane shouted over the noise of students milling around and talking. I turned around and saw her coming towards me while waving. She was dodging the groups of people as fast as she could.

"Ugh, something wicked this way comes," Bree muttered.

"Who do you mean?" I asked.

"Jane. That weirdo who wears a black dress and pigtails, looks like a five year old stuck in the body of a thirteen year old," Kate explained.

"You guys have been talking about her?"

"She's stealing you away from us. You're our best friend,"

"I know. But she just told me she wanted to be my best friend-Jane!" I gasped when I saw her right there all of a sudden.

"God, you scared us!" Angela complained, jumping and putting a hand over her heart.

"Hey, bestie, we're hanging out Friday, right?" Jane asked, putting her arm around my shoulders and completely ignoring Angela. She casually pulled me out of Edward's arms, and he turned to talk to the guys. The girls just stared at us in shock and disbelief.

"I'm with Angela that night, sorry. And Esme and Carlisle's wedding is on Saturday. Can we do it Sunday?"

"Sure. Be there or be square," she said, laughing.

We linked arms and walked off to class, leaving my friends in the dust.
