Hiya here's the new chapter to Bigger, Better, or Worse?
All characters belong to Stephenie Meyer.
Heads up: A lot of the places mentioned are actually going to be real. I come from Seattle so I can't stand to put something made up in. The only place that's not real is Seattle Academy. I think.
I'm also changing on other thing, Bella will be good at sports but she'll be playing on the volleyball team.
ENJOY!!
First Day
Bella's POV:
I woke up with someone jumping on my bed.
"Alice can you stop jumping on my bed!" I screamed
"Bella it's time to wake up!"
I looked over to look at me alarm clock.
"Alice it's only 6am."
"I need to prep you up for your first day of school. It's good that you only missed the first week of the year. So don't complain."
"Fine. Are we going to start or can I go back to sleep?"
"Start of course, go take a shower and then we'll get started."
I went to my dresser to get some clothes for the day.
"Don't even bother, Bella, I chose them for you already. There on the bed." She told me.
I looked to see a pair of dark washed skinny jeans and a red laced camisole matched with a gray zip-up hooded sweater.
"This looks nice, Alice, thank!"
"No problemo Bella."
"Um… Alice, I was just wondering who else is a sophomore besides me and you."
"Well I'm pretty sure you know that Emmett's in his junior year, and so is Rose, and since Jasper's her twin he is too. Edward's a sophomore like us though." She told me.
"Ok. Thanks again, Alice."
1hour later:
"Wow! I actually look great, Alice! Thanks!"
"You always look great, Bella, and it's no problem at all."
"Well, how about we get some breakfast?" I asked.
"Sure. What do you have for first?"
"English with Mrs. Perkins."
"That's great! I have Mrs. Perkins for first too."
"Cool let's get going, shall we?"
At the cafeteria:
We met up with the guys at the table, I got a good look at Edward and he looked very cute. With that shiny bronze hair and those gleaming emerald green eyes of his. It's just too bad he's nothing but a player.
"Hey guys. Mornin'."
I heard a chorus of 'good mornings around me.
As we were eating I noticed two sluts coming our way.
"Hey Edward, we were wondering if you wanted to sit with our table today." Asked slut number one.
"Um… No thank you Lauren, I rather eat with my family today."
"C'mon Eddie, please." Slut number two begged. And did that hurt my ears or what.
"I really don't want to. Sorry." He told them.
"Please, please come."
Edward POV:
Do these girls even know what the word 'no' even means?
"Jessica seriously I don't want to go eat with you guys." I said exasperated and frustrated that they won't leave me alone.
"Fine, but you don't know what you're missing."
From the corner of my eye I could tell Bella wasn't very interested but the others looked quite shocked that I rejected their invitation.
"Um. Bella can you get some more fruit for me please."
"Ok. Sure Alice."
"Thanks."
As soon as she was gone, everyone looked at me.
"Dude, what was that about?" Jasper questioned me.
"What was what about?"
"Oh don't play innocent. Why the hell did you turn down their offer? Not only do you rarely sit with us but you never turn down sitting with girls." Rose stated.
"Um. Well I don't want to be associated with other girls considering I kind of like Bella a bit." I confessed.
"What?!" Emmett said
"Um yeah I wanted Bella to have a good impression on me so I don't want her to get an even worse impression on what Bella thinks of me. Even though I do know that she knows I'm a player, but I really want to change that. I really like her already, Emmett. Hanging out with her yesterday I liked her personality and she's not like other girls who just care for looks and I'm not just going for her for the outer appearance. She's something that I'm willing to work for and I want to try at least." I admitted.
"Really? I thought I'd never see the day when I find my brother settling down."
"Thanks Alice that really sounded like you had so much faith in my love life." I said sarcastically.
"Well I'll trust you for now. Don't be playing her Edward or I'll have your head."
"Ok Emmett don't worry I won't."
Just then Bella came back with the fruit that Alice asked for as an excuse.
"Thanks for getting this for me Bella."
"It's no problem Alice. Um, I was wondering if you guys know where the volleyball coach's office is. She asked me to come over today when I start on the team."
"What do you mean? You haven't even tried out Bella and it's extremely hard to get on the team considering it's almost a full team."
"Oh um last year the coach came to one of our games and she talked to me and I told her I was coming here for school anyways and she asked me if I would join the team when I came." She said shyly.
"What? Bella you played volleyball? When did this happen?" Emmett asked.
"It's happened since freshmen year Emmett. It's not that hard to believe that I play if you think about it."
"Apparently the coach considers me captain already, but I'm not so sure about that."
"What do you mean? I'm sure you're great at it." Alice exclaimed.
"It's not that. I know I'm good considering I was MVP last year, but I'm not sure if I could lead my team. I mean I know the best drills to be the best in the state considering that we were in Phoenix but I don't know if that's going to work around here if a sophomore is captain of the team."
"That's just absurd. I'm sure you'll be great at it Bella." I told her.
She looked up at me. "Um thanks Edward."
"Is that the reason why the coach was gone for about a week?"
"Um I guess since apparently my coach called the coach here to check out to see if she wanted me on the team here."
By then the warning bell rang to indicate that we should start heading out to our classes.
On my way to Calculus with Emmett, Lauren and Jessica approached me yet again.
"Hey Eddie how about we skip class and go somewhere a little more private." Lauren asked.
"I rather not come I have class to get to." I told them
Walking to class was silent until Emmett brought up the subject on me liking Bella. "So you were actually serious on what you said about my sister huh?"
"I was 100% serious Emmett. I really want to try this out. I don't want to be the guy that she thought I was yesterday. I want to change so she'll actually trust me enough to actually be my girlfriend. And not some daily girlfriend that you keep thinking that I do to other girls, but an official girlfriend." I said sincerely.
"Well make her happy then, but Edward you've only known her for a day. Give her a few weeks to see the new you then give it a try. Don't just go for it. You showed to her that you were a player yesterday so she won't want to give you a chance if you try giving it a go right now. Just give her some time to see the new you like how all of us are adjusting to the new Edward Cullen." Emmett said.
"Thanks Emmett. I think that'll really help. I really want her to trust and like me."
"I think she will. You guys have a lot in common already."
"We do? Like what?" I asked, instantly curious.
"Like books and music. You guys both into that classical crap."
"For one, really she likes classical music, and two, it's not crap."
"Yea, yea whatever you say. I'll see you later."
Bella POV:
By the time lunch came I was really having a nice time here at SA until a few boys came up to me and kept on asking me out. There were two that were very persistent. Mike Newton and Tyler Crowley.
During one of my classes, Mike came up to me and just came out and asked me to a date.
"Hey you're new here right?"
"Um yea I am."
"Cool I was wondering if you wanted to go out. Maybe I could show you around or we could go to dinner or something."
"Uh its ok my brother already showed me around campus and I'm not up to going on a date with anyone while I have some work to catch up on from the first week I missed."
"Oh ok maybe next time then."
"Um possibly."
"Hey guys." I said as I came up to the table.
"Hey Bella, how has your day been so far?" Alice Asked.
"Um, it's been good so far. Just been bothered with some guys asking me out is all."
"Oh, well that doesn't seem to bad Bella for your first day of your first week here." Rose said.
"Yea I guess but Mike Newton and Tyler Crowley are pretty persistent to someone who pretty much said 'no' completely in a polite way."
"Maybe next time you should just reject them flat out." Jasper suggested.
"Nah I don't want to hurt their feelings and I certainly don't want to be hated so soon." I said.
"Bella I'm pretty sure you won't be hated." Alice assured me.
"Well I don't want to get glares then."
By then Edward came to the table with his tray of food.
"Um, Bella I think you'll probably end up my lab partner in biology because I'm the only one with an empty table, but its fine if you don't want to sit with me."
"Its fine Edward I don't have a problem with it at all."
When we were all finished with our lunches, Edward and I headed out toward biology and as Edward had said, I was seated next to him as his lab partner.
Apparently the teacher had some errands to attend to and we had the time for free time. Edward and I decided to play twenty questions to pass by the time and get to know each other.
"What's your favorite type of music?" Edward asked.
"Classical, my favorite is Clair de Lune by Debussy."
"Really? That's my favorite too."
"Wow that's cool nobody ever likes classical music but I love them since they're so soothing to me."
"Yea they really do help calm you."
"What's your favorite book?" I asked.
"Othello by William Shakespeare."
"Wow really? Classics again? It looks like we have a lot in common. My favorite is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte."
"It seems like we do have quite a bit in common. We also have an interest in athletics too."
"So it seems we do."
"EDDIE!" a shrill voice broke through our conversation.
"Edward come over here and spend time with me instead of this," she looked over to me, "thing over here."
"I rather not, I want to stay here and talk to Bella instead." He told her.
When she left I asked him, "Is she always trying to get attention or something 'cause she looks like a slut enough dressed like that."
Lauren was dressed in a very low cut tank top with a very tight mini skirt. Not very appropriate for school if you're seeing what she's wearing.
"Yea she's always like that. Worse when she's around me. I just wish she would get the hint that I'm not interested."
"Why aren't you interested? Don't you like those kinds of girls?"
"No, I actually don't. They're all just so fake."
"Ha-ha. I won't argue with you there."
By the time our conversation ended the bell rang signaling class has ended. Edward and I walked to gym together.
When we parted ways to separate locker rooms, I was countered by the girls that were harassing Edward.
"You might be new here, but don't like think that Edward will like go out with an ugly skank like you. So you might as well like quit before you like make a big fool out of yourself." Lauren said.
"One, Edward and I are friends. Two, he's my brother's friend so I can't do anything about that you whore. Last but not least, three; you shouldn't be calling me a skank considering what you were wearing today you whore."
"I can't believe you just said that! You are going to pay for that you stupid skank, and Edward is mine so back the fuck off of him." She screamed at me and walked away with her sidekick Jessica following her.
I got changed and came out of the locker room, spotting Lauren and Jessica glaring at me. By then Edward was running up to me.
"Hey, you ready for gym?" He asked.
"Yep, except for the fact that I ran into a little whore and her sidekick skank in the locker room just now."
He looked a little pissed off at what I had mentioned that happened in the locker room. "Damn what the hell did Lauren and Jessica say to you?"
"Well she just told me I should back off and stay away from you, and that you were hers'. Hey, is she some sort of cheerleader or something because she says 'like' a lot."
"Yea she is. Head cheerleader to be exact."
"Oh god, no wonder she is such a slutty whore. From what Emmett has told me, you're the captain of the basketball team?"
"Yea I am, I guess it's a great position it just sucks since we always have to pose with the cheerleaders, but anyways you're playing volleyball and captain. That must be cool."
"Yea I guess it is. We have practice today apparently at 6 tonight for around two hours so this should be fun."
"Well I guess we'll be sharing a gym since I have basketball at 6 tonight too."
"Well we have free time right now so how about we play a little one on one." I challenged.
"Bring it. I could use some practice considering you did beat Emmett yesterday."
It ended a close game with the score being 11-10.
"Nice, you beat me by one point. We should play again sometime later."
"You bet, but for now let's go hit the showers."
When we went to the two locker rooms I was yet again confronted with Lauren and the sidekick.
"What part of stay away do you not get?"
"Oh, the part where I don't have to listen to what you say."
"You are going to like so pay for this. You will stay away from him and he will be mine so you should quit the flirting before you go running and crying."
"It's called socializing not flirting and again, I don't have to listen to a skank whore like you. I'm also pretty sure from the way Edward rejects you that he's not in the least bit interested in you."
"And you think he is in you?" She sneered.
"You said it not me. But I must admit you are pretty pathetic to go up to some girl and threaten them just for talking to him. You must be so desperate huh?" At the last statement I faked a sympathetic look.
"UGH! You will regret not listening to me, and I'll make your years here a living hell."
"Bring it I've loved to see what you've got." With that I walked past her and into the showers.
I headed out of the locker room and was met with Edward leaning next to the door.
"You know you didn't have to wait up right?"
"I know but I wanted to."
"Well anyway, guess what."
"What?" He asked.
"I was yet again confronted with the she-witch again." I told him.
"Wow, that's twice in a day."
"Yea, and this time she threatened me not to go near you. First it was a warning now it's threats, this girl must be desperate or something."
"I'll have to agree with you there. She's crazy to think I'll go out with her again. She thinks one date and she can go around thinking we're together. It just gives me the chills just thinking about it." He shuddered. I laughed.
"So now where are we headed since classes are done?" I asked him.
"Well apparently I've been informed that we'll be hanging out in your dorm room until it's time to head out to get ready for basketball practice and volleyball practice for you."
"Ok, so let's head to my room now shall we."
"Yea let's go."
"Um, Edward?"
"Yea?"
"Thanks for making this a great first day for me. It was fun to hear about your fans." I laughed at the last part.
"Oh, ha-ha. Laugh while you can it's not as funny as you think it is. Considering you met the number one fan who's willing to threaten you to stay away from me. Which you're not going to do right?"
"Of course not! I think you're a fun guy to hang around Edward and no way am I going to listen to what Lauren says."
"Ok good because you're fun to hang around with too."
"Well come on let's head to my room."
"Yea let's go."
Now that I look at it, Edward's not such a bad guy. He seems really sweet and gentle for a guy who was just hitting on me yesterday.
Thank you to those who read this.
I hoped you liked this new chapter. It took a long time for me to think of how the story is going to come along and I think it's going on great but I would like your opinions on it.
