Bella's P.O.V.-

"So Bella, How Have you been? I haven't seen you in forever!" Mike asked me eagerly after he managed to drag me into the very crowded living room, which had been transformed into a dance floor. He was pushed slightly into me by Tyler who had been dancing with some friends behind him, although he didn't take a step backwards to create room between us.

"Um… I am good," I meekly said while taking a step backwards nonchalantly, there was no way I would purposely ever stand that close to the vile Mike Newton. His face faltered slightly, but it light right back up with excitement of conversation.

"That's good! It was really cool of you to come to my party!" he said over excitedly.

I just nodded my head, I didn't have it in me to tell him that I had been dragged here by my "best friend" Alice. Speaking of which, where was she? Why wasn't she here saving me?

Oh. Right. She actually likes Newton. I reminded me of the first time she had told me about her opinion between me and Mike.

It was the first day I had ever talked to Mike Newton,

"Aww Bella! You two are the cutest! Did you see how he walked you to class? He is totally in love with you should date him. Aww, you would be so cute together!"

I shivered at the thought…

"Are you cold Bella? If so we could go up to my room, it is probably hotter up there," he practically pleaded.

I was mentally throwing-up at the idea of me in Newton in the same room.

I was about to politely decline his offer when I saw a glance of Alice's spikey black hair over Mike's shoulder. I forgot about answering Mike and walked around him to get to Alice. Of course, Mike followed like the loyal Labrador Retriever he was at heart. I ignored him and acted like I didn't notice.

"I want to get out of here," I growled soft enough Mike couldn't over hear.

She nodded her head to the right slightly to ask silently if it was Mike, even though she obviously already knew the answer. I nodded my head ever so slightly, that even Mike standing right behind me, wouldn't have noticed anything out of the ordinary.

She sighed lightly, "Ah! I forgot we have to get up early tomorrow! We should probably leave," she said over dramatically enough that mike would hear.

"Aw, you have to leave, are you sure you could always spend the night here," he said, obviously trying his best to keep me here just a little bit longer. I held back a gag.

"No its okay. But you should give her your number, so you can stay in touch," Alice commented.

I stood there in mild belief. I can't believe she just asked for his number… for me! But, Mike thought it was a brilliant idea. Alice gave me a piece of paper and a pen that she had pulled out of her purse.

It was already addressed as 'Mike's Phone Number:' so she had obviously planned for me to leave here with his number. I gave here a quick glare and turned towards mike, scribbled the numbers he rattled off to me, and gave him a quick 'thank you' more out politeness rather then actual gratitude.

I waited for Alice and Jasper to say their goodbyes which took about fifteen minutes, and even then I had to break them up during a heated kiss.

On the way back Alice kept looking back at Jasper and talking about how great he was. What love sick kids. But I couldn't help but be slightly jealous. She had something special with Jasper. My train of thought was interrupted by Alice's voice.

"Bells?" she asked in the tone of voice she used to see if I was listening.

"Sorry, what?" I responded, blushing out of embarrassment.

She gave me a smile. "Oh Nothing! Just, saying that I won't be doing anything tonight.. on the phone.. it will be open all night. You know, just saying," she said.

I groaned, and leaned into the door. Great… she just had to remind me about Newton…

The drive home didn't last long- I was sulking about the whole thing while Alice was almost giddy, so proud of herself, for figuring the whole thing out.

When we got inside, Alice broke her patient façade.

"Bella," she whined. "Are you trying to tell me that after all I went threw to set this up you're not even going to call him."

I sighed as I stopped my walk up to my room. Of course Alice knew that I detestd Mike and yet here she was making me call him.

"Fine," I caved. "But can I at least have some privacy?" I asked.

Her face light up. She was delighted at the thought of me calling Mike. So in her enthusiasm she left to her room with at 'take as long as you want' comment, to which I merely rolled my eyes.

Before I called him, I refused to even address him by name in my head, I changed out of my dress, throwing it aimlessly on the spotless floor, and changed into my pj.s which consisted of some plaid boxers and a holey, oversized t-shirt.

After changing, I decided to brush my teeth and hair. While in the bathroom, I washed my face to rid off the make-up that was relatively still fresh on my face.

As I walked back into my room, I frowned, knowing that I could stall no longer. I picked my cell phone off my desk, so I wouldn't have to worry about a pepping Alice on the other phone in her room. I went over to the discarded dress that laid sprawled out on my floor, and got the slip of paper form the front pocket. I hung the dress up in my closet that now was filled to the brim of designer names thanks to little Ms. Alice, trying to procrastinate a little bit more.

I sat down on my ample bed, phone in hand, and opened the dreaded slip of paper.
