Its been a long time since I updated this story.

But here we go.

20 reviews? Please.

Lets try.

I really like the song love bug.

And so I tried to string it in the chapter.

Chapter four

Lovebug

Okay, so maybe it was time I started looking for a loophole of some sort. This was going nowhere. It had been a week, and the only attention I got was Mike hacking Newton, and Eric freaking Yorkie swooning my every move. And it was getting old, fast. Poor Jessica, it seemed like the tension got larger and larger as the days went on. I knew it agitated her that Bella or me whatever was getting all of mikes attention.

The only person's attention I couldn't seem to grasp was Edwards. It became a challenge to get through the day without looking at him. I decided I would at least try to communicate with him after giving him a week to cool off. I ran to the bathroom, or maybe walked swiftly while falling all over the place would be the right phrase. I looked in the mirror, patting my hair, and checking Bella's flawless face. I was practicing the sad face I would make at him when he ignored me.

I stuck the full low lip out to the mirror, deciding those tactics wouldn't work, I straightened the tan blouse, and straightened my necklace. The bell rang, I knew I needed to split or I would be late.

I got into the class, he was already there staring at his hands, no glaring at his hands. When I sat down he didn't flinch, or look at me. It was really pissing me off, Bella had some patience.

"Hey Edward, what's up?" I asked, as friendly as my voice would allow.

He turned his head slightly, he nodded his head a fraction of an inch, and turned his head.

asshole. I really, wish you could hear that! I thought.

I glared at him for a few minutes, letting my eyes burn a hole in his back hoping he felt it.

So, I went on, for god knows how long, it felt like months… telling the same lie over and over again. Telling Renee that I was fine. I knew Charlie could tell a change in my mood. But this whole thing is just pissing me off. If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to get to know Edward Cullen really bad, and I mean really freaking bad. I would have tried to leave a long time ago.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I was walking down the hall, when a sign caught my eye.

Girls Choice Dance!

Next Saturday!

"shit" I muttered unintelligibly.

"Hey Bella…" Mike said walking up to me, staring at the ground.

oh could it get any better…you think these people might get the hint I don't like them. I thought to myself.

"Hey mike."

"Jessica asked me to the dance." he murmured.

"that's good, I knew you guys liked each other,"

"well, actually… I was going to see if you were going to ask me."

"I'm not going to be in town, besides, isn't it girls choice," my finger pointed to the sign that was hanging before us.

"Yeah…I know…but…I thought maybe…"

"I'm sorry if I made you think that way mike…but I'm not going…sorry." I tried to coat my voice in sympathy. I didn't really mean to crush him. Its just Cullen had me in a pissy mood lately.

"its fine."

"Now, don't you think its rude to keep Jessica waiting like that…. Go with her."

"yeah..your right… I'll see you at lunch."

"Bye mike."

This meant Edward might talk to me today. If I hadn't done to much damage.

I got excited when the lunch bell rang. I walked swiftly, throwing my hair out of the pony tail I had it in. and taking my parka off.

"Hey Bella, I was just going to ask you a quick question." Jessica yelled, trying to catch up to me from down the hall. I stopped and waited for her.

"shoot."

"I was wondering…if it was okay that I was going with Mike to the spring dance…" she paused biting her lip, "I kind of already asked him and he said yes."

I laughed, "its fine Jessica, you guys have fun… I'm going to go to Seattle that day anyways." I said grabbing a bottle of water and a hamburger.

"Okay I was just checking." her face looked relieved.

Lunch was finally over, the time of the day I had been waiting for all day…

I sat in my seat, preparing to be pissed off as usual. He sat down…At stared at me, with no intent on stopping.

All of my anger faded, I stared back, when a song came into mind I used it to calm me down and give me the strength to turn away, I began singing it in my head…

Called her for the first time yesterday Finally found the missin' part of me I felt so close but you were far away Left me without anything to say (CHORUS) Now I'm speechless, over the edge I'm just breathless I never thought that I'd catch this Lovebug again Hopeless, head over heels in the moment I never thought that I'd get hit by this Lovebug again (Chattering) I can't get your smile out of my mind I can't get you out of my mind I think about your eyes all the time You're beautiful but you don't even try You don't even, don't even try Modesty is just so hard to find (CHORUS) Now I'm speechless, over the edge I'm just breathless I never thought that I'd catch this Lovebug again Hopeless, head over heels in the moment I never thought that I'd get hit by this Lovebug again Kissed her for the first time yesterday Everything I wished that it would be Suddenly I forgot how to speak Hopeless, breathless Baby can't you see? Now I'm... YEAH, OH Now I'm speechless, over the edge I'm just breathless I never thought that I'd catch this Lovebug again Now I'm hopeless, head over heels in the moment I never thought that I'd get hit by this Lovebug again Ohhh Lovebug again

I stayed turned, even though I felt his eyes burning holes in my sweater.

shit. I knew when I read twilight I was in love with Edward's character.

But this is different. In many ways, for one…he's barely two feet away from me. And he's real now…its really indescribable. I can't resist him… he smells so good. My mind was fluttered.

But I did manage to put my angry face on.

"Bella?"

I didn't acknowledge him, but god It was a matter of time before I did.

"Bella please."

I turned, I gave in, my heart was doing what it wanted rather then what my head wanted to do.

I kept my poker face, " so, your talking to me again?" my heart sped.

"well, no not really."

"then what do is it that you want?" I groaned. Feeling a bit of sadness as his words sting me. I knew this was coming.

"I know I'm being rude, but believe me its better this way."

"How could you possibly know what's better? Are you saying its better for me this way, or better for you?"

"Both of us."

"Well its to damn bad you didn't figure it out before you saved me, then you wouldn't have to regret everyday for my existence."

"You think I regret saving your life!?" He was having hysterics.

"Yes…in fact, I know you would have loved for that van to squish me."

"You don't know anything then, if that's what your thinking."

I gathered my things, slinging them into a cradle in my arms, making an attempt to get out of there, instead I ended up falling like a damsel in distress.

"CRAP!" I muttered loudly. Before I could get up, he was there gathering my books for me

"Thanks…"

"Your welcome," his tone was gruff from his anger and probably the fact his throat was burning.

We played basketball today in gym, which for me, was awesome. I was good, back when I was me… 5'10ish girl…now I was short, and clumsy…but I was better then some of the kids. My mind wasn't all there, all I could think about was him.

I knew when I left, he would block me in… it was what was suppose to happen right? Unless I pissed him off good, but I don't think it was enough to make him actually hate me.

No…it wasn't. I was blocked Tyler Crawley was bounding towards my car…

"Hey Bella!"

"Hey Tyler." what if I told the kid yes…haha Edward would get a kick out of that.

"I was wondering."

"I'm trying to move the car Tyler, but CULLEN! Has be blocked in." I made sure I shouted his name… I knew he'd hear me.

"Well I thought since we had this time…that maybe you would ask me to the spring dance."

"Sorry, I'm not going."

"Oh…that's what I figured."

"Then why did you ever bother?"

"Well…I thought maybe you were letting mike down easy."

"Nope I'm going to go to Seattle that day."

"Oh, well hey there's always prom right?"

"Not in this life." my voice was acid, but he wasn't there to hear me.

I glanced at the Volvo to see that Edward was laughing…hard.

I wanted nothing more then to give him the bird.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I was tired, as I ate my cereal the next morning… My sleep was again, funky. I tossed and turned all night, I blame it on Edward personally even though in my dreams everything about him was sweet…yet I still wasn't able to sleep well.

Bella's hair was hopeless…I put a striped black and gray shirt with a black jacket, and blue jeans. I kept hoping Edward wouldn't be mad… and I kept hoping I could act mad.

I got out of my truck, and there he was, leaning against my truck…he startled me.

"Why do you sneak up on me like that?"

"Because, your funny when you get agitated." his voice melting honey and velvet.

"Why did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Block me in yesterday? And don't tell me it was accident…I know it was on purpose." I glared.

"I thought Tyler deserved his chance."

"Whatever…I thought you were pretending I didn't exist?"

"I'm not…."

"So your trying to irritate me to death, since Tyler didn't quite finish the job?"

"Bella, you are utterly absurd…" His liquid velvet voice, now frozen.

I walked off, ignoring him, acting as pissed off as I was capable of.

"Wait a sec Bella…" like I could get away, he was way faster then I was.

"I'm sorry, that was rude of me…not that it isn't true, but it was rude to say." he said as we walked.

"What Edward, what do you want?" my voice seemed agonized.

"I was wondering if a week from Saturday-- you know the day of the spring dance.."

I was tired of playing dumb, so I slipped.

"the week I'm going to seattle?" dang I wasn't suppose to say that… my facial expression was probably panicked.

"yes, that weekend. I was wondering if you wanted a ride."

Phew, I hadn't screwed things up between us.

"what?"

"Do you want to ride to seattle?"

"with you?"

He looked at me like I was stupid, "Yes me…"

"Why, I thought you didn't like me?"

"Its no that I don't like you… I do like you its just best we're not friends."

"Your so confusing."

"Do want a ride?"

"It would be in your best interest to stay away from me." he added.

"Yeah.." my voice was a whisper now.

"You know, you should stay away from me." and then he was gone.

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONGG! Here it is though.

Please review.
