Lunch

School passed quickly over the next week. Edward still sat next to me in Biology and we started getting along fairly well. But his chair never came closer. It still unnerved me, but I ignored it, not wanting to push him. I was so deep in thought that English was half over before I realized that Jessica wasn't there. Maybe she was late?

When English ended I waited for Mike at the door. He was dating Jessica, but he still sent me these vibes. They felt almost like; if I gave him the chance he would leave Jessica for me. I didn't like these vibes. I ignored them as best I could because I didn't want to confront him and hurt his feelings, or worse, just ignore him completely.

He was waiting for me as usual and walked me to my other classes too. In Government I noticed that Tyler didn't say hello to me today. I looked around the room. No Tyler. Uh oh. No Jessica meant that Mike didn't have to sit next to her giving him the option of sitting next to me. No Tyler meant that there would be no one to glare or compete with him. I didn't really like Tyler being so clingy either, but Mike was never as open about his feelings for me around others, or at least it was harder. I prayed that Angela wasn't sick.

I found out that she wasn't during passing time. "Angela! Would you mind sitting next to me at lunch today?" I asked. Then I could sit on the end of the table and she could cover my other side! "Oh Bella! I'm really sorry, but I have a doctor's appointment during lunch today." The bell rang and we both hurried to class.

I was dreading lunch. As everyone rushed to class I was left still sitting there. Out in the hallway I walked slowly without really watching and nearly bumped into someone. Jasper Hale nearly avoided me with unsuspected speed and grace. "Sorry," I mumbled. I wasn't really in the mood to talk. He looked down at me with concern in his eyes. "Are you all right Bella?" he asked. I think it was the first time I'd ever heard him talk. I was about to lie, when I looked up into his dark amber eyes.

"No, I'm not exactly looking forward to sitting at my table today." I sighed and started walking away. "Nonsense! You should sit with us!" yelled a high pitched voice. Alice Cullen had come behind me while I was speaking. I hadn't even heard her she was so quite. "Um, sure Alice, if that's okay?" I looked questioningly between her an Alice. Jasper had backed away from me slightly. Jasper nodded his head and Alice was too busy jumping up and down to answer.

"BELAAAA'S SITTING WITH USSSSSS!" she sang. I glanced around nervously. People were starting to stare. I blushed and noticed Jasper taking another step back. Apparently Alice noticed too and stopped her singing. "Well, what are we waiting for?"

She then managed to push both Jasper and my self into the cafeteria, through the lunch line, and to her table, before I could even comprehend what was going on. Somehow, I was now occupying the seat next to Alice and across from Emmett. (YES, EMMETT TIME!!!)

"BELLA!" he bellowed. Rosalie gave him a shove in the arm, followed by a glare. Apparently someone wasn't happy I was sitting with them. Jasper was sitting on the opposite side of Alice and had Edward across from him next to Rosalie. Emmett ignored Rosalie and beamed at me. "Why are you sitting with us today?"

"Well, some of the people I usually sit with are sick today and I figured lunch would be pretty boring at my own table…" I trailed off. It was obvious it was a lie because of the slowly spreading red color on my face. I was never good at lying. "Is Newton bothering you?" asked Emmett. His smile was gone. I thought I heard a soft growl coming from down the table. What was with this family and growling?

"NO!" This was so embarrassing. My face was officially the color of a tomato. I was very jumpy. This was not a fun topic, but suddenly I was calm again. I felt like telling them the truth. I was in a sharing mood. "Well, actually, yea. He's dating Jessica, but sometimes I get the feeling he'd rather be dating….. someone else." I was surprised at how calmly I was telling them this. Usually, I would be totally embarrassed.

"Usually, it's okay when other people are there, like Jessica, but most of them are sick today. Thanks for letting me sit." All of the Cullens were staring over at Mike Newton. Mike Newton was staring at me. Now I was embarrassed. I flushed slightly and noticed Jasper acting as if he was embarrassed to, though he wasn't red at all.

I started eating my lunch and noticed none of them were eating anything. "I don't think he likes us very much," Edward joked. The mood was instantly lightened and I was grateful. Mike wasn't the only one staring. People all over the cafeteria kept glancing our way. I guess no one sat with the Cullens very often.

"He absolutely loathes us," stated Jasper. The laughter began again. Some easy conversation followed and before I knew it, lunch was over. Everyone got up and started walking away, except for Edward. "Aren't you coming to class?" I asked him. Maybe we could walk together.

"No, I think I'll skip today." I was a little worried. He and Jasper were the ones to talk the least today. They both had seemed so tense. Especially Edward. He had leaned forward occasionally and Rosalie had to restrain him. From what I wasn't sure. "Alright," I said before turning and walking away.

I knew I was going to miss talking to him in biology. We didn't talk about anything important, but it was still one of the most thrilling parts of my day. I walked into biology only to notice "Blood Typing" in big letters on the board. I nearly fainted right there.
