Chapter 5: Weird Feelings
BPOV:
2 months have passed ever since I met the Cullens. Rosalie and Alice have dragged me to many torturous shopping trips. Emmett and Jasper were like my older brothers. Emmett was the like the goofy brother who I can have fun with. Jasper was the one who I can tell my problems to, without beings judged or anything. Edward I have grown much closer. He was my best guy friend. Edward and I always hang out and talk about everything. We're always having fun, no matter what we're doing. After a while, I have grown a liking to him. Yes, I finally had a crush on someone since the Mark incident. But I still haven't forgotten Victoria, James, Laurent, and Tanya. We all sit together at a big table, all ten of us. My friends and my Cullen friends all got along quite well.
One day, Edward wasn't with us at lunch. I had a weird feeling because he would have said something in the morning that he might skip lunch. I checked in the halls, and saw Lauren approaching Edward.
EPOV:
I forgot the CD I was going to give Bella, and I wanted it to be a surprise. I really like Bella. As in I have a crush on her, but I didn't have the balls to tell her so. I quickly opened my locker, found the CD (it was a Nirvana CD, I found out that she liked the band, but didn't have many of their songs), closed my locker, and found Lauren walking up to me.
"Hey Edward, looking sexy today" She said while she looked at my body, not my face.
"Hello Lauren" I said unemotionally. I did not like her at all. She was another slut that hung out with Mark. I sighed, Bella still hasn't told me about Mark yet, but I didn't want to push her to tell me if she doesn't want to talk about it.
"Don't be all glum, follow me and I can show you a good time…" She trailed off suggestively. I mentally shuddered.
"No Lauren – " But that was all I could say before she kissed me. I was shocked and couldn't move.
BPOV:
Edward. Kissing. Lauren. I couldn't stand watching them, so I ran. I knew it. Mark cursed me and now I can't trust or like anyone. Edward didn't even try to push her off. Right when their lips locked, I ran away to anywhere. I just had to get out of that hall. Why would he do that? Why would he kiss a slut? I thought he wasn't that kind of guy. Guess I was wrong, as usual. Whatever. I should get over this; I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. I noticed I was still running, and accidentally ran right into Mike. Oh great, it's just my day.
"Oh hey Bella, are you ok?" No I'm not idiot.
"Yeah yeah…."
"So are you busy this weekend?" I swear he has asked this question a hundred too many times.
I sighed, "Look Mike, you're a really sweet guy, but I am not dating or anything right now."
"Oh ok," his face fell slightly, but then smiled brightly, "Do you think Katie likes me?" Damn, this boy bounces back fast.
"Maybe she does, I'm not sure, good luck"
"Thanks Bella," He kissed my cheek in a friendly way that didn't bother me. And he left; I bet hoping to find Katie. Why couldn't I be like that? Bounce back quickly and not have people stomp all over me?
When I went to my next class, Edward was already there, looking pretty pissed. I sat down next to him and said "Hey Edward, why do you look so angry?" Wow, that was a stupid question. He should be happy that he kissed the school slut.
"Nothing's wrong."
"Aw, come on, I know something is wrong, please tell me" and I pouted, knowing he couldn't resist my pout.
As I predicted, he gave in, "Well its just… I saw you and Mike."
"Yeah it's called talking, that's what we were doing. Does me talking to him bother you?" Yes I know I was being a smartass, but I didn't care at the point.
"Yes, it does. I have weird feeling about him."
"Yeah well he asked me out," his fists tightened "but I said no thanks, he's not my type." He seemed relieved at that fact and smiled.
He had the nerve to say, "Oh ok good." What about him and Lauren?
" And what's your type? Blonde, stupid, and slutty?" There goes me and my big mouth again. I didn't mean for it come out like that.
"No, actually the opposite." Now I was pissed.
"So why did you kiss Lauren?" His face grew sad.
"Oh, you saw that?"
"Hell yeah I did," I don't care if I was rude or not, I am angry and I want answers. He could have at least told me he had a thing for Lauren!
"Well its not what it looks like. I was at my locker to get a CD for you, and then Lauren cam up and kissed me. I was shocked for a moment, I didn't know how long, but I pushed her off and I told her I was not interested in her. Please believe me when I say I don't like her at all" he said sincerely.
Oh…Damn, I'm an idiot.
"I'm sorry, I overreacted. Mark just always makes me feel insecure, so I wouldn't be surprised if people left me."
"Bella, I wouldn't leave you, but not to pry or anything, but can you tell me about the Mark incident?" My mind was going back and forth. Edward is my best friend, so should I tell him? But he might realize that I am a freak and leave, and I don't know if I want to risk it. My mind was chaos right now. I finally made my decision.
A/N: So tell me what you think. Should Bella tell Edward about Mark or not? Reviews are welcomed! =)
