Bella Swan

The dress was a spaghetti strap, silky dress. It stopped about mid thigh and it cupped my chest and it was a bright blue dress. I slide it on and it was a perfect fit (A/N: I will put the dress on my profile). I looked at the mirror; I looked so pretty without makeup on. I smiled and walked out of the bathroom where Edward was waiting patiently.

I smiled. "You like it?"

Edward looked at the dress in a non-blinking stare, his eyes appraising me and taking me in. "It looks great! You look... beautiful Bella," he said breathlessly.

My heart raced.

I stared into his eyes to see if he meant it. His eyes were honest, just looking in them made me weak in the knees. "Thank you, Edward," I said sincerely.

I sighed. "I guess this fake relationship stops soon, eh?"

Edward suddenly looked down at his feet, not meeting my gaze. "Yep, I guess it does."

I smiled. "I can still be your friend who is a girl. Same thing but backwards."

I laughed. He didn't. Awkward...

He suddenly said, "I got to go. You know school is tomorrow and everything."

I frowned. "Already, it's still early?"

He sighed. "Yeah, I have to do the…um...laundry."

I laughed. "Now I know you're lying. You can't even cook anything but cereal!"

He rolled his eyes. A small smile playing on his lips. "A guy can learn…"

I handed him my cell to call Alice. When Alice arrived Edward and I said goodbye and Emmett and Edward did their hugs and he left. I went to take the dress out and put on my pajamas. I climbed into bed turned on the table lamp, grabbed my book and my I-Pod and read the rest of the night. My music blasting so loud so I wouldn't think about anything but my book.

-- -- (Friday)

When I woke up, I felt excited. I wanted to go to school and hug Alice until she couldn't breathe anymore. I looked at my dress -I hung it up on the bedroom door- and sighed.

I took a shower like everyday and put on a long sleeve purple sweater and jeans. I put on my cherry chap-stick and walked down stairs. "The party is tomorrow!" I exclaimed cheerfully.

Emmett nodded. "Yeah, I know."

I smiled. "I can't wait."

Emmett laughed. "Me either."

I held my hands out. "Hit me," I commanded.



He tossed me a granola bar; I opened it and took a bite. I finished it and throw away the wrapper. I looked out the see the Volvo waiting for us. I ran outside quickly. I opened Alice's door and hugged her. "Thank you! You are the best".

She patted my back. "No problem."

I pulled back and closed her door and climbed into the back. "Hey Edward."

"Hello Bella," He greeted warmly.

Emmett climbed in and we drove away.

When we got to school Edward -being the gentleman he is- opened my door and helped me out. I smiled and looked around to make sure nobody was near. "This is the last day of this," I said in a hushed tone.

He stared at his hand in mine. "Yeah," he mumbled in a small voice.

We walked to class as everyone stared at us whispering and gossiping. We took our seat and the bell rang.

Mike walked over to our desk, "Hey, Bella. The dance is tonight," he stated.

I nodded and linked my hand with Edward's hand on the desk. "Yeah, I can't wait."

Mike looked briefly at our hand and scoffed, "Well…see you there. Bye."

I faked smiled in return. "Bye."

Edward chuckled when Mike was in his seat and away from us.

"What?" I asked.

He shook his head. "You just looked like you were about to strangle him."

I scoffed, "Well, if a girl came up to you everyday asking you to go on a date with her after she knows that you have a girlfriend; you would be pretty pissed too."

The teacher came in, interrupting our conversation. "Hello class, anyone going to the football game tonight?"

The class mumbled, "Yeah."

He smiled and started class. "Take out your notes from yesterday. So, if…"

I wasn't paying attention, at all. I thought about the last time I went to a football game and bee-yotch Lauren. I thought about Edward and the party. Then my mind just settled on Edward and how much he has done for me.

I looked at him for a minute as he wrote down the notes that were on the board. Gosh, he was so cute when he was so focused. I smiled and turned back to my notebook.

"Bella!" The teacher called abruptly.

I jumped, scared. "Um, yeah...?"

He frowned. "What is the answer?"

Oh shit.



I looked at Edward. He was staring at me, trying hard not to laugh. "Umm..."

"Maybe you should look at your notes instead of Mr. Cullen," he insisted sternly.

I reddened. "Sorry." Avoiding all eyes, I looked at the board and started to write down my notes.

-- --

When class was over Edward and I went to my locker. "So, were you looking at me or my notes?" Edward asked while chuckling.

"Neither, alright!?" I hissed, still blushing.

He chuckled even more.

"Urg! You are so full of yourself!" I exclaimed while stomping away.

-- --

At lunch, Alice and Rose and I thought about some nice clothes that we could wear tonight for the game.

"I am wearing my black skirt and Tiger print shirt again," Rose informed.

Emmett and Jasper were giving Edward some good football tips for tonight. "Keep your eyes glued on the ball, alright?" Emmett demanded harshly pointing his finger at Edward.

I glazed around the room, Lauren and her gang were coming.

Of course…

She unzipped her sweater a little, showing small cleavage.

"Hey, Edward," she gushed, flicking her hair.

Edward's eyes went down to her sweater. He pretended to gag. "Ew."

Lauren grimaced. "Um…well, good luck tonight."

I smiled. "Hey Lauren, I love your sweater. Where did you get it?"

I grabbed my water bottle and took a sip.

"Forever 21, duh." She rolled her eyes.

"Ah." I nodded. "Must be where all the assholes go these days," (A/N: I shop there too, so no offense to people! I know that humaax3 will get upset at me. She loves that store XD) I said smirking.

"Oh please. You wish you were me!" Lauren smirked and her girls laughed.

I shook my head. "You know that is where you are wrong". I grabbed my water bottle and threw the water all over her sweater and hair. "Oops," I muttered. "By bad!"

She yelled, "Bella! You freak!"



I smiled as Edward and everyone laughed. "Not this time Lauren."

"ARG!" She shouted as her gang of girls tried to help her. She stormed out leaving her slaves and into the bathroom.

Everyone had their eyes on me, well almost everyone. Lauren's poise looked confuse, like they were nothing without Lauren. "Hey, maybe you guys should go and get a life…one without Lauren. You know she isn't the center of the world. You know, she is just using you guys. She only cares about herself…" I explained to them.

They looked at me for a long minute and then they smiled, walking out the cafeteria. Edward patted my back. "You are really making a difference…"

I smiled. "Well, that's good to hear."

Two seconds later Lauren came back less wet looking for her poise. They came back a few minutes later and started to talk to Lauren about something, whatever it was made Lauren mad.

She glared at me, hard. She didn't say a word, she just stared. After awhile I looked away, but the lunchroom was still silent. Lauren's poise walked passed me and wickedly walking toward another table and started talking.

I looked to see Lauren just standing there alone. She finally gathered her things gave me one last glare and walked out of the lunchroom, everyone started talking again.

-- --

After school I walked to the Volvo and waited for Edward and everyone else. Everyone was talking about lunch. Nobody has seen her all day after that period. Crazy rumors are going around that she is moving or she is turning emo or that she told people she was thinking about ending her life. I bet by later today that everything will be back to normal. It always does.

Edward and Emmett came soon after. "Hey Bella."

I waved. "What's up?" I asked nonchalantly.

Edward smiled. "Um, nobody has heard from Lauren in awhile. You think you didn't go too far?"

Alice showed up and we got in the car. "No, she did this to herself and I bet she will be in my face at the game."

When I got home I took a shower and put on my outfit. I curled my hair a little. After I check myself one more time it was time to leave. I called Emmett down and we walked to my truck.

"Are you nervous about tonight?" Emmett asked as we pulled up to the school.

"No, why would I be?"

"I don't know. After that thing with Lauren-"

I cut him off, "She will be back to normal, okay?"

Emmett sighed and got out; I followed him to the football field. We spotted everyone easy, they waved us over. "Hey guys" I said cheerfully, smiling.

Edward patted the seat next to him, his eyes were gleaming. "Hey you."

I sat and rested my head on his shoulder. "Have you spotted Lauren?"



Edward hesitated. "Um...yeah..." He pointed down near the football field.

I gasped when I saw her. She was sobbing…hard. Her former friends were laughing at her as they threw popcorn at her. Before I could stop myself I was walked down the stairs with Edward close behind me.

Author's Note: Do you guys still hate Lauren? I mean she is okay, at least right? Well, anyway I am ending this story in the next two chapters or so, but I am going to do another story!

REVIEW!! You know you want to.
