So I hope you guys that are reading are liking the story. Let me just give you a little run down. This is, I repeat, this is an Edward/Bella story. Edward and Bella will end up together. They just have to go through a few problems to get there. This story will have about a million plot twists and it will get pretty crazy but believe me when I say Edward and Bella will be together! K? So anyone who thought I was using my Team Jacob-ness to sneak in some Bella/Jake action should be ashamed ;)

A/N: Twilight? Still not mine. But who's to say it won't be in the future. ;)

Review even if you hate it.

Please =)!

Edward POV

After leaving the Dining Hall, I went straight for my dorm room. Well, our dorm room. How was it possible that Jacob was so close with Bella? Yeah, he was a good guy, sometimes. But, he also had a dark past. Then again, who am I to judge people based on their past.

Flashback

Chicago Prep

Last Spring

"Edward Cullen, we know you did it," Irina said. She was with her sister, Kate.

"I didn't do anything. So just leave it at that," I said angrily. I was beginning to get tired of this. People just wouldn't stop blaming me for what happened to Anthony.

"You killed Anthony because you wanted to date our sister, Tanya. Admit it!" Kate said. I looked over at both of them and saw that they were smiling evilly. I also noticed that they were wobbling slightly. Probably drunk. The Denali sisters were notorious for that. I just didn't get why they wouldn't leave me alone. Everyone else taunted me. The Denali sisters were like family to me. I just didn't understand.

"I didn't do it! It was ruled as a suicide! Just leave me alone," I screamed. Uh oh, I have to calm down. I can not lose my temper right now. Things are already bad. The last thing you need is to have a breakdown in public.

"Give it a rest, Eddie," Irina said.

"Emo Eddie," Kate giggled. The two exchanged looks and then started singing "Emo Eddie," over and over again.

People saw the scene that was unfolding and decided to join in. I didn't blame them. Everyone here thought I was an unstable homicidal maniac. The voices got louder, and louder. More people joined in. I was surrounded. I wanted to make it stop. I had to make it stop.

The next thing I knew I was strapped to a gurney and being hauled away from Chicago Prep. Rolling away in the ambulance, I felt off. Like something monumental happened and I missed it. The last thing I remembered was blood. Lots of blood.

End of Flashback

About an hour after curfew, Jacob came in. He was drunk, as usual.

"Eddie buddy!" he said loudly. I hushed him and ran over to help him to his bed. He collasped on top of it and turned to face me. I went to sit down on my bed and watched him. A small smile spread across his face ever so slowly. Then he said six words I never expected to hear.

"Bella Swan is some party girl." With that, he rolled over and passed out for the night.

Bella POV

I was laying in my bed reading an old copy of Romeo and Juliet when Rosalie came in. She looked amazing. She was wearing dark brown skinny jeans and a cream colored tunic. Her blonde hair was loose and fell around her shoulders. She had on what looked like five inch white heels. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was 10:00 P.M. Where was she going at this time of night. Curfew was in a half hour.

"Bella, get dressed with clothes from my closet. We're going to a party in the woods," she said. I frowned at her. If the party was just starting, it wouldn't be over before curfew. I didn't want to get in trouble on my first night.

"Actually Rose, I'm kind of tired. I'm just gonna head off to bed," I said. Victoria joined Rosalie at the doorway and smirked at my appearance. My hair was up in a messy bun and I was wearing a baggy Linkin Park Concert Tee.

"Isabella, you're coming with us," Rose said.

"Whether you want to or not," Victoria added. I looked at the two of them. I didn't have a chance in Hell of fighting them off. I set my book aside and got out of bed. Rosalie smiled and Victoria rolled her eyes.

"Be ready in ten," Rosalie called. She left the room and Victoria followed.

"Just great," I muttered looking down at the plush carpet.

"I'll help you get dressed," a voice sang. I looked up and saw Alice smiling at me from the doorway. She was wearing a white blouse, silver vest, and black skinny jeans. I noticed she was sporting silver ballet shoes. Thank the heavens!

"Thanks Alice, let's go," I said.

Ten minutes later Alice and I ran down the stairs to a group of girls. The only girls I had met were Rosalie, Victoria, Leah, and Alice. There were two other girls here. I later learned their names were Jane and Heidi. Rosalie was the first to approach me.

"Bella, you look interesting," she said. She gave Leah a look and Leah stepped up.

"Yes, it was smart of you to pair the navy tunic with dark grey leggings," Leah said. Somehow, I doubted she meant it. She glared at me and I felt very small.

"Very fashion forward," Jane added. I smiled over at her but then remembered something important. I didn't pick out this outfit.

"Actually, it was all Alice's doing," I said. Alice bounced up and down beside me and gave me a hug. Was she not used to getting recognition?

"Well, at least the little odd ball is good for something," Leah said. I glared at her and she rolled her eyes. She was such a...well, bitch!

"Let's go. We'll be late," Rosalie said. Everyone followed her lead and left the house.

"Alice, why do they dislike you so much?" I asked. We walked around the back of the house and into the woods.

"They more than dislike me. They hate me," she said. "I don't know why." I looked over at her and saw that she was very upset.

"Alice, you don't want them to like you anyway. They're terrible people. Well most of them, anyway," I said.

"Easy for you to say Bella. They like you," she said. I shrugged my shoulders and almost tripped over a log.

"I don't care about them. I'm here to get a good education," I said. We all went through a small parting of bushes and came into a clearing. There was a small camp fire and people were dancing and drinking beer. It looked so plain, but so inviting. I stepped further into the party and behind my back I could have sworn I heard Alice mumble something like "You say that now." I had forgotten almost everything about our conversation so it really didn't matter.

Before I could even make it to the center of the party, I stumbled into someone, hard. The person turned to face me and much to my relief, it was Jacob.

"Bella! Hey!" he said. He grabbed me up into a hug and kissed me on the forehead. Maybe that was his thing.

"Hey Jacob," I said. He smelled like beer and incense. I suddenly felt like I was in the sixties.

"Do you wanna go somewhere and talk or something?" he asked. I knew talking was probably the last thing on his mind, but I didn't really know anyone else here besides the Volturi girls. I nodded my head and he pulled me along to the side of the party where people were sitting down and smoking some kind of weird cigarette.

"Smoking kills," I said when I sat down next to one of them.

"No dude, this all natural. Want a little?" the guy asked.

"No, lay off Mike. Take Jessica and get high off that shit somewhere else," Jacob said. The blonde guy I presumed was Mike stood up and took a blonde girl with him. The blonde girl offered me a small smile and I returned it. I took her to be Jessica.

"So Bella, met any guys here yet?" Jacob asked. He pulled out a can of beer from his jacket pocket and handed it to me. I shook my head and Jacob popped it open and drank.

"I've met a few. You've been there everytime a guy has talked to me," I said. I thought that over for a second. "I'm starting to think that's more than coincidence." I narrowed my eyes and Jacob laughed.

"Guilty," he said. "I'm just making sure no guy out there disrespects you. You deserve the best."

"Really now. Well, who would you set me up with?" I asked. Wow, was I really flirting with a guy! Jacob smiled and leaned in to whisper in my ear.

"Easy, me," he said. He put my face in his hands and leaned in to kiss me. I didn't protest. His lips were urgent on mine, like he was trying to rush things along. His hands were everywhere; my chest, my face, my hair, my legs. It didn't feel bad, just awkward. The clearing of someone's throat interrupted us. I pulled away from Jacob and saw Rosalie looking down at me. The disapproval was clear on her face.

"Isabella, let's go," she said.

"Why? We just got here," I whined. Jacob chuckled at my not wanting to leave. He nuzzled his face in my neck and began to lick the skin there.

"No, we've been here for an hour. Time flies when you're making out," she said impatiently. Had I really been kissing Jacob for that long? It felt like minutes.

"Oh, well, um, Jake. I gotta go," I said. He planted a kiss on my neck and gave me a small hug.

"Yeah, I better go too. My room mate is probably freaking out," he said. He took a big gulp of beer and stood up, wobbling a little.

"Oh, tell your room mate I'm sorry for keeping you," I said smiling.

"Yeah, Edward will really appreciate that," Jacob said laughing. Suddenly, I felt very guilty. I would be lying if I said I wasn't attracted to Edward. He seemed so nice and innocent. I liked that in a guy. I also like the forwardness and boldness that came with Jacob. Well, it was only my first day. It's not like this day would determine who I would date forever. Or would it?

"Isabella! Let's go. Curfew, remember?" Rosalie screamed. Oh no! Curfew! If I had been out here an hour, I had definitely missed curfew. Oh my God. "Relax, you'll be glad to know we Volturi Girls don't follow the rules," Rosalie said smiling.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because they don't apply to us." I began to walk along side Rosalie. The rest of the girls went up ahead. I was surprised Alice left without saying another word to me.

"Bella," Rosalie said as we entered through the back of Volturi. I looked up at her and saw that she looked slightly irritated.

"You and Jacob have become fast friends," she said. I blushed and smiled nervously. "I don't like it." My smile disappeared and my eyes widened.

"What? Why not?" I asked.

"Because, he's bad news. He's just not the right thing for you. It's better if you stop seeing him." Was she seriously telling me this? Who was Rosalie Hale to tell me what to do. She smiled sweetly at me and walked away.

"Rosalie, I like Jacob. He's a good guy," I said. She stopped walking and turned to face me. Her face held nothing but anger, but she spoke in an oddly calm voice.

"Isabella, as head of Volturi, I should warn you to never go against my advice. I know best," she said. I scoffed. She a step closer to me and lowered her voice. "Because you're new, I'll forgive you for this. But this will be the last time. No one goes against Rosalie Hale and lives to tell about it." With that, she stormed away from me. Well, Rosalie Hale did not scare me. All she did was start a fire in me. Well, prepare to be burned.

Edward POV

I was walking to the Hall of History when I saw Bella sitting under a tree reading a book. Jacob was no where in sight. I saw this as my chance to talk to her about what could have possibly happened between her and Jacob last night. I walked slowly behind her and crouched down. She didn't even notice me. I slipped my hands around her eyes and laughed as she stiffened below me.

"Guess who," I said disguising my voice. Her hands came up to grab my wrists and I heard her giggle.

"Jacob?" she asked playfully. My hands dropped from her eyes and she turned to face me. The smile that was on her face disappeared the moment she saw me and dark blush came across her cheeks. So this is what rejection feels like.

"Oh, Edward! I'm so sorry! I thought you were Jacob," she said, chuckling nervously.

"It's okay. Serves me right for trying to take you from behind," I said. "Wait, I meant surprise! Taking you by surprise!" I said. This was getting ridiculous. I was beginning to lose my filter around her. Now my subconcious fantasies were making their way into our conversation.

"I get what you meant," she said laughing. "So, what are you up to?"

"I was going to take a look around the Hall of History," I said. Not the mos exciting way to spend free time, but I liked it there. History was one of my favorite subjects.

"Can I come?" Bella asked. I smiled over at her and she blushed a light pink. Ha! I'd made her blush.

"Of course. Let's go," I said. I stood up and gave her my hand to help pull her up. She took it and squeezed it tight. The warmth radiating off of her body was intense. I suddenly felt a little dizzy. Had I taken my medication this morning? Yeah, I did. We walked the rest of the way to the Hall without any words. However no words were needed. As we walked we stole glances at each other when we thought the other wasn't looking. Our eyes met a few times and we'd laugh nervously. Maybe Jacob just had a drunken fantasy of him and Bella together. Maybe they didn't do anything at all. Yeah, and maybe if I said that to myself enough times, I'd actually believe it.

Bella POV

The Hall of History was amazing. It was just like walking through a beautiful museum, not that I'd ever been to one. Edward gave me the grand tour of the school's personal wing. He told me hilarious stories about some of the people in the portraits and what they were famous for. I found myself laughing at everything he said. He was so funny, and so easy to be with. Edward Cullen was just perfect.

"Edward, why didn't you come to the party in the woods last night?" I asked. I was just digging myself a hole. If Jacob had told him anything about the party I knew he had to be dying for answers.

"I don't think I was invited to that one," he said looking down.

"Oh, sorry," I said. I sat down on one of the benches and he came beside me.

"Jacob told me you two had a great time," he said. I looked over at him and saw that he was looking at the ceiling. Maybe he didn't want to look at me after hearing about what I did with Jacob. I mean, making out with a guy after only knowing him for one day is just not a classy act.

"It was just a kiss. Well, we 'made out' for a while. I only agreed to talk with him because he was so friendly and a familar face," I said. Edward looked over at me, surprised.

"Wait, you only made out with him?" he asked. Did Jacob tell him something different?

"Yes, what did Jacob say we did?" I asked a little bit worried now.

"No, nothing. He just said you were good company. But the way he came home last night, I assumed..." He looked over at me smiled. "Well, you know what they say about assuming," he gave me a crooked grin.

"When you assume, you make an ass out of you and only you?" I asked playfully. The phrase was actually 'when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me'. A clever play on words, actually.

"I deserve that. I should have never thought that a nice girl like you would ever, you know, with some guy on the first date," he said.

"It wasn't a date, Edward. And who knows what I would have done if I was with you," I said. I looked at my feet and felt that familiar heat filling my cheeks. I was blushing, again.

"Bella, are you and Jacob together?" he asked slowly. I honeslty didn't know the answer to that. I liked Jacob, a lot. But Edward was...everything I wanted in a guy. He was perfect.

"I don't know. Jacob hasn't really...well I haven't either..but I don't know," I said.

"Well, he better get his act together, because I know one guy that's more than interested," he said. I looked over to him and begged him with my eyes to ask me. Ask me on a date! Ask me!

"I knew I'd find you here, Edward," a voice said from behind me. I turned to see Jacob walking towards us.

"Hey Jacob," Edward and I said at the same time. We looked at each other and smiled.

"Hi Bella," Jacob said smiling at me. "Edward, I need to talk to you." Jacob looked a little peeved, while Edward looked slightly annoyed. I didn't need a first grader spelling bee champ to spell things out for me. They wanted to be alone.

"I'll just go. I'll see you guys later," I said. I got up and walked around Jacob towards the exit. Something told me they were going to talk about me.

Edward POV

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked Jacob when Bella was out of ear shot.

"I want to talk about how you're moving in on my girl," he replied. His hands were balled into fists at his sides. If Jacob Black wanted a fight, he could bring it. I wasn't as muscular as him, but I could hold my own in a fight. Emmett taught me everything he knew.

"Actually, she's not your girl," I said calmly.

"Says who?" he asked.

"Bella. She said you never asked her out. So, she's fair game to any guy that's interested," I said.

"Please, after all the stuff we did together last night, I'd say our relationship was pretty clear. She probably just doesn't know what to call it," he said.

"You kissed her Jacob, that's all," I said. He was obviously lying to try to make me angry.

"Is that what she told you? That's funny," he said chuckling darkly. "Trust me, my hands were all over her. And if I remember correctly, I heard no complaints."

"It's amazing you remember anything, you came back to the dorm and passed out almost instantly. And if that really did happen, Bella probably didn'y say anything because you were attacking her face! I've seen you kiss girls Jacob. It looks like you're trying to eat them," I said. Now I was getting angry.

"Fuck off, Edward! You're just mad because I got to her first!" he yelled.

"No, you didn't. I met her two weeks before she even came here!" I yelled back. We were standing directly in front of each other now. I wanted to knock him over the head and be done with it! Wait, that wasn't a normal thought. Did I really take my meds this morning?

"Is there a problem here?" a security guard asked. I stepped back from Jacob and shook my head.

"This isn't over, Cullen," Jacob said. He shoved me as he walked towards the exit.

"Watch yourself, Black," I bit out. If Jacob Black wanted a fight, he was well on his way to one.
