Disclaimer: I wish I owned Twilight. However I don't.

A/N: I wasn't really going to continue this, but I might as well. So I think I will try to get Bella in here, but I think next chapter (yes, there will be another). This one will be about Lauren (hehe). Also, should I do a chapter from Edward's POV? Please tell me by reviewing!

Hoping to Ensnare Edward

Chapter 3

The day before, I had left Forks High quickly, hoping that I wouldn't have to face anyone that day. But today I knew that I would be unable to escape the questions. I went to school slowly, hoping that I would be just a little late.

Once at school, I was a bit late, and went to my classes. All were boring and tedious especially with all the thoughts on my mind. However, the next period was lunch. Lunch was a place that I knew Lauren and Angela (although I suspected Lauren more) would be ready to question me.

Glumly, I walked into the cafeteria, with about one percent of the enthusiasm I had had the day before. I sat down at the table, and there Lauren, Angela, and Mike were, along with a few other people.

Immediately, Lauren said, "What were you thinking yesterday? Trying to snag Edward were y..."

I interrupted, "What is wrong with trying to get Edward, seriously? He's hot."

"Yeah, but you didn't even tell me! I mean, what if I wanted Edward? Not that I do or anything..." Lauren retorted.

"Right...you don't want Edward. Then why are you making such a big fuss? He said he doesn't date anyway." I said, almost positive now that she wanted to have been the first one to go to the Cullen's table.

"Are you sure that he didn't just say that to let you off nicely? I'm going to make sure that he just didn't want to go out with you." And with that, Lauren left, heading toward the table I had left for yesterday.

Watching as Lauren sat at the table, I just saw her talking and none of the Cullens moving or talking. Finally Edward opened his mouth. He said something very quickly that seemed to cause Lauren's shoulders to droop, and her smile to falter. Then simultaneously, all five Cullens got up and left.

Lauren came back with one tear dripping down her cheek.

"You're right. He doesn't date." And with that she left with a flip of her hair; leaving her half finished lunch on the table.

I smiled smugly to myself. So it wasn't just me. Maybe I hadn't been able to get Edward, but neither had Lauren! I left, satisfied that I wasn't the only one.

A/N: Sorry that this chapter is short...it just worked out that way.
