BELLA POV

Finally, lunch!! The last class I had was not shared with Edward. The one after, gym, is not shared with him either and I had to bite my lip to keep from squealing with joy. I had, however, met his brother Emmett in that class, and he was adorable. He had over sized burley muscles and looked like he could squish you with one large hand. If it weren't for his precious dimples, I would have shaken right out of my panties-- something creepy Mike would have loved to witness.

Like my first period class, I had walked in to find a gorgeous boy sitting in the usually empty seat. I sat down quickly, trying not to look at the frightening person.

"Hellooooo," said a deep voice beside me. I turned my head slowly, as if it were a horror movie and I was trying to prolong the moment. He was smiling brightly at me, letting me have the full affect of his endearing dimples. I had to stop myself from melting in my seat.

"You m-must b-be Edward's br-brother," I whispered. He chuckled lightly, yet it rang through the class.

"How did you guess?" he asked with a smirk.

"I just got a feeling." The rest of the class we talked as if we had known each other for years. I told him of my bad experiences with his jerk sibling and of my friends. I almost got more detention because of 'excessive talking', but thankfully Emmett was better at charming the teacher than Edward.

When the bell blared across the school Emmett and I parted. He said he was going to meet a couple of friends and he would see me in gym after lunch.

I went to my locker and was not surprised to find Rosalie and Alice chatting animatedly in front of it.

"Hey guys," I said. They smiled at me and continued their conversation.

"Not one class with either of them! I mean, what are the chances of that?" Alice asked angrily. Rose shook her head sadly.

"I know. Jessica swore they were in our grade, but you know how twisted her facts can get in the midst of gossiping, especially when its as juicy as this," she said.

"Hah, I know thats right," she stated dryly, probably recalling a time when Jessica had jumbled up details about her own life.

I slammed my locker shut and they finally realized I was there. "Hey!" Alice said cheerfully. I glanced over at her and shook my head at her strange enthusiasm.

"Heyyy," I replied. "Nice to be recognized every once in a while." They smiled apologetically and began walking towards the sickly smells wafting from the cafeteria.

"So Bella, met any new people today?" Rosalie pried. I groaned loudly and picked up my pace. I very nearly escaped before two pairs of dainty hands pulled me back. "Tell us everything!" they squealed in unison.

"Well, assuming you are talking about the Cullen brothers, to put it in a nutshell-- one is a pain in the ass and the other is a giant teddy bear. Thats about all there is to it." They stood there looking at me, questions written across there intrigued faces. I shook my head in frustration and resumed walking. This time they hung back talking in low murmurs, but I didn't care.

I pushed the heavy doors of the cafeteria open and walked in. I went over to join Jasper who was currently sitting alone working on last minute homework. "Hey," I said as I sat in the vacant seat beside him. He mumbled hello and kept working on his problem. I rolled my eyes and pulled out my favorite book, Wuthering Heights. Shortly after, Alice and Rose joined us.

"Hey guys," mumbled Jasper, still entranced in his work.

"You know Jazz, you should try doing your homework at home sometime. Maybe then you could actually enjoy lunch with us," said Rose. His eyes flicked up at her in agitation and he sighed loudly.

"Whatever," he said, tossing his things into his backpack. "I'm not going to finish this anyway." We giggled at him, causing him to send each of us death glares. I stifled another laugh and pulled out my apple and returned to my precious book. I felt someone sit down in the empty seat beside me followed by someone on the other side of that person. I glanced up to see Edward's crooked smile flashed my direction and his brothers apologetic one behind him. Anger boiled up inside me.

"Do I need to get a restraining order against you so you leave me the hell alone?" I asked. He shrugged and turned towards my best friends whose mouths were in the form of a perfect 'O'. I stared at them in disgust.

"Hello there. I'm Edward Cullen and this is my brother Emmett," he said. They still showed no signs of life. I kicked Rosalie under the table, barely receiving a reaction from them.

"Rosalie!" I yelled. She sucked in a deep breath of air (probably due to her not breathing) and blinked about 100 times. I could hear Edward trying to cover up his fits of laughter beside me, but Emmett was not as polite.

"Dude, what is wrong with your friends??" he screamed through boisterous laughter.

"Uhh! Nothing is wrong with us!!" Alice wailed suddenly. The cafeteria went totally silent. Everyone was staring at us curiously, causing my face to burn from embarrassment. "Sorry," Alice squeaked and the table erupted into cackling. Everyone was still staring at us, but they went on with their conversations shortly after.

"I'm Rosalie, but you can call me Rose," she said seductively. Emmett smiled a toothless smile, showing off his cute dimples. I could already see an attraction forming between the 2 of them.

"Pleased to meet your acquaintance, my lady." Rose giggled nervously.

"Alice," Alice stated dryly, unamused by the beautiful Cullen boys. Jasper smiled at her lack of enthusiasm. He had had a crush on her for a couple of years now, but was far too shy to ask her out. I think Edward saw it because he exchanged this weird look with him, making him turn the shade of a tomato.

"So Bella, you excited about detention today?" asked Edward. I glared at him while everyone around me gasped dramatically. "Oh, so you didn't tell them? Trying to keep our time together a secret?" he asked while waggling his eyebrows. I shot daggers at him with my eyes.

"If looks could kill..." Emmett muttered. I sighed loudly and stood up abruptly, leaving the table, Edward on my heels.

I was headed to the one place no annoying guys could follow: the girls bathroom. It was only a few steps further and I quickened my pace. I was one step away when someone tackled me into the Janitors closet, locking us in there together. I shoved him off of me and turned on the light. "Edward, what are you doing???" I whispered furiously.

"Why do you despise me so much?" he asked.

"Because you are a stuck-up man whore who thinks you can do whatever the hell you want and get away with it!" I said. He stared at me for a while then a smile broke across his face. "What??" I yelled.

"I think you like me."

"See, thats why I despise you so much. You think you are irresistible, but in reality, you are as dumb as they come." I grabbed at the door, but he pulled it away. He threw me gently against the wall then placed both hands next to my face, trapping me wit his arms. He leaned down so he was close enough to kiss. My heart quickened as he breathed his sweet smell on me.

"You know what I think? I think you have been untouched by guys for your whole life because you are afraid of them."

"Hah! I am not afraid of guys," I stated defiantly. "I'm just not willing to settle for boys. I want a man." He was about to reply, but thankfully I was saved by the bell. I shoved past him with my nose in the air and opened the door coolly. I could feel peoples eyes on me and Edward as we strutted out of the closet looking rugged and untamed. "See you after gym, Eddie," I called after him. He stopped dead in his tracks and then began slowly walking in the opposite direction of me. I chuckled to myself and kept walking towards the gym.

EDWARD POV

"See you after gym, Eddie," she called. I stopped where I was debating on whether or not I should kill her. I decided that I didn't favor going to jail for murder, so I resumed walking towards Calculus.

Man, it was harder than I thought to 'woo' Bella. She was so stubborn. I don't know if I can deal with her until the Valentines Dance.

Before lunch, I had met up with Emmett to discuss our game. I told him the first girl I met was Bella Swan and she already hated me. Emmett had laughed at me, telling me that he had already met her and heard of our unfriendly encounters. The bet was set: 100 dollars if I could get Bella to fall in love with me by Valentines day. I had to show up to the dance with her on my arm all gooey eyed over me, and it was looking worse every second.

Dad's favorite hobby was to move from place to place, claiming that he wanted to spread kindness to everyone he could. Of course this meant dragging me and Emmett to school after school repeatedly.

A few years ago, we began to bet on how quickly we could make a girl fall in love with us. Every move, we would alternate between the one watching, and the one actually experiencing this torture, and now it was my turn.

I sighed as I walked through the door of my last class. 'I'm going to have to get a job because there is no way I am winning this bet,' I thought to myself.

BELLA POV

"Partners?" Emmett asked as we grabbed our ping-pong paddles.

I smiled gratefully at him and said, "I must warn you; I suck at ping-pong." He chuckled at me then walked over to the nearest table.

"As long as you don't hit me in the ass with the ball, I'm OK with that." I giggled loudly. Creepy Mike sprinted over to us with a goofy gin on his face and I instantly stopped laughing.

"Mind if me and Jess play you guys?" he asked excitedly. Emmett, obviously not knowing of my distaste of him, agreed.

~*~

"So, even though I accidentally hit you in the ass with the ball 7 times, your still friends with me right?" I asked. He pretended to glare at me, but his face broke into a large grin seconds later.

"Of course I'm still friends with you, but I think I'm may not be your partner for a while." I playfully hit him in the arm, barely phasing him. Me on the other hand, got a nice little bruise on my hand for it. Emmett's laugh thundered all around me. "Geeze Bella. You barely even tapped my arm and you get a bruise! What am I gonna do with you?" I shrugged and began walking towards the locker room.

After changing, I went out to the bleachers and sat next to Emmett. I glanced down at my watch to find that we still had 8 minutes till the bell.

"So Bella, you still hate my brother?" he asked.

I laughed and said, "Of course! I don't know how you live with him without ripping off his face."

"Yeah, it gets pretty hard sometimes, but he is the only friend I have because of all the moves we've made." He looked down at me with sad eyes, the brown in them singing to me.

"I'm sorry. It must be really terrible to move so much," I said. He shrugged and laughed through his nose.

"It ain't so bad I guess. I mean, theres new girls every move... hot girls I might add," he paused for laughter, reminding me of what actors in plays do, "and we never get attached to those girls, making it a lot easier on ourselves. Most guys would think we were livin' the dream." He looked down at his feet and fingered his sweaty gym shirt.

I leaned over and grabbed his hand, caressing the soft skin. I could swear I heard him mumble 'shit', but I guess someone behind me said it. "Bella, please don't. I'm only interested in being friends with you, nothing more." He yanked his hand out of my grasp and slid a couple of inches away from me. Angry tears stung my eyes. I turned my head away from him so he couldn't see the wetness about to spill over. The bell rang and I quickly ran out of there, not looking back. Now time to face hell with my 2 least favorite people in the world.....
