Chapter Four – He thinks you're in love with him
I pulled into the school car park, still confused about my kiss with Edward. I wasn't normally confused. Normally, I couldn't care less. Yes, that sounds slutty – but he was, is, my best friend so it didn't matter what we did. I couldn't feel anything for him. It was impossible for that to happen.
It would be wrong – and that sounded bad as well, but it's true. I couldn't love Edward. Wait, what? Love? Hold the boat! I never said anything about loving him. Oh, crap! My life sucks. Oh, God! I sound like some bimbo teenager. Ugh, this is bad.
"Bella?" I heard from my left. I turned and Jasper was stood at my window. "Are you getting out?"
"Yes, I'm getting out. If you give me a piggy back. Because you see, I bet you'se lot are well popular, mate. So, if I'm seen with you, I'll get popular, too! Great plan, huh?" I smirked, and got out the car, jumping onto his back. "Eddiiiieeeee, fancy getting my bag from the back?" I smiled innocently.
He sighed, but did it anyway. I smacked my feet on Jasper's back, as a sign to GO. Which he did. I got wired looks from the students around us, but I shrugged it off. There was this one guy. Mike Newton – I found out after asking Jasper – was looking at me with lust. Huh? Maybe I could play with him a bit? I smirked, but winked at him, none the less. He gaped at me, and looked behind him.
I heard his heart beat pick up and felt something clap me on the back.
"Well done, there, Little Sister." Emmett said, laughing. I looked over at Mike again. When he saw Emmett call me 'Little Sister' he tensed up.
"Emmett, we all know I'm older than you. So, stop with the "Squirt" and "Little Sister" comments, yes?" I said, looking back at Mike. It's not that I liked him. I just liked playing with him – and his heart.
"Mentally, yes. Physically, no. So, no, I shall not stop with the comments." He said, looking proud.
We walked until we got to the student office. (A/N: Complete brains melt down – I just totally forgot what that thing would be called)
"Hello, how can I help you?" The woman at the front desk asks, not taking her eyes away from Edward. I could hardly keep in my giggles, so when she looked at me, I covered – very unsuccessfully – them with a cough.
"Yes, hi, I'm the new kid. Isabella Cu -" I was interrupted by Edward.
"This is Isabella Platt. She's new." He said. Platt? Why aren't I a Cullen? I sent to him. He shook him head and sent me a look which obviously meant 'I'll tell you later'
"Ah, yes. Here's your schedule. Have a nice day, and remember to get all your teachers to sign this and bring it back at the end of the day." She smiled at me, but her eyes were still on Edward. I was getting irritated.
"Okay, miss. I'll see you at the end of the day." I said, in a sickly sweet voice. And finally she looked at me. I was walking away, when Edward wrapped his arm around my waist. He pushed my top up a bit, so his hand was on the bare skin of the small of my back. His index finger was making small circles near the top of my jeans, getting lower and lower.
I looked at my sheet, but didn't have any classes with Edward or the other until after 3rd period. I had maths first. So, I kissed Edward on the check and told him I'd see him at lunch and I walked off. To my surprise and jubilee Mike had this class, too. He caught up with me just down the corridor to the room.
"Hey, you're the new girl, right? Isabella Platt? You're friends with the Cullen's, right?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm Isabella, but my family call me Bella. So just call me that. And I live with the Cullen's, yes. Esme is my mother." I said, upset that I couldn't call my father my dad, only my mother my mum.
"Oh, what about Doctor Cullen? He's not your dad?" He asked.
"No, Carlisle's my step-father." I answered.
"Cool, so where you been for the past year the other's have been here?" God, how many questions?
"Erm, I was in England visiting my dad. I spent the first ten years of my life with my mum, but I wanted to see England and my dad so I left when I was eleven. But, then he got a new girlfriend and we travelled around for a bit – but I didn't like it so I told my dad I was coming here and after a few screaming matches, he agreed as long as I kept in contact." I told him. Okay, so it wasn't a complete lie. It was somewhat the truth. I did travel and the person I was with got a new girl friend.
"Cool, hey, you want to sit next to me in this class?" He asked, trying to sound sexy, but failing miserably. What have I got myself into?
"Sure, but, hey, I don't even know your name?" I said, giggling, as sweetly as possible, acting as though his "sexy" voice totally got me on.
"Ah, Mike Newton, at your service," He said, sweeping an arm in a very gentlemanly way.
I giggled again and walked into class with him. I had to stand at the front of the class and introduce myself – and by that I mean a cut down version of my life. I kept my mind open to Edward the whole time so he knew what my cover story was and he could tell the others before anyone asked about who I was. After I was introduced I sat at the back of the class, not really paying attention but talking with mike instead.
The next four lessons passed quickly. I had English with Edward and American History with Alice, then it was lunch. I was walking out of my AH (A/N: AH = American History, I just can't be bother to write that every time) class with Alice just behind me, when Mike came over.
"Hey, Bella, you want to come sit with me and my friends at lunch? You know, introduce you to the guys?" He asked, with the "sexy" voice again.
I giggled, again, to make it believable that I liked him. "Erm... Alice? Is it okay that I sit with Mike instead of you guys? I'll just come over to see Edward, then go over to Mike, is that okay?" I winked at her.
"Oh, yeah, that's okay. I'm sure everyone'll be happy that you're making friends." She said, clapping my on the shoulder and skipping off to Jasper who was waiting outside the classroom.
"Watch what you're doing, Baby Bella." Jasper whispered, too low for a human to pick up.
"Come on then, Bella." Mike said, putting his hand on back, like Edward did this morning – the only difference was that Edward's hand was calming, Mike's was chilling.
I smiled at him and walked into the cafeteria. "I'll be back in a minute," I whispered, my mouth next to his ear. I felt his shiver and I grinned to myself. I skipped over to where the Cullen's were sat and slid in next to Edward.
"You do realise that he thinks you're in love with him," Edward whispered, his mouth, next to my ear. This time it was me who shivered, but still I was the grinning one.
"Well, let him think that then," I said, as his arm slipped round my waist pulling me closer.
"I don't know why you two won't just get together already." Rosalie said, whist checking her nails.
"Aha, but where would all the fun be in that?" I asked.
Then, I turned and pulled Edward's mouth down to mine, knowing full well Mike was still watching.
"I'm a head turner, and heart breaker, Rose, and that's all I'll ever be. I don't do love." I told her grinning, and kissed Edward again, then walked over to where Mike sat his mouth wide and drawing in flies.
A/N: Okay, sorry about the wait and I know I said two chapters. So I'm doing one tonight and I'll do one tomorrow. Hopefully – because my laptop might be going into repair, so I'm not completely sure.
Anyway, I asked my mum and she said, there will be an internet café on holiday – but I'm in so sure I'll be going in there.
My holidays were great – and we stopped off in Blackpool on the way back and my cousin (who's 10 months younger than me) and I went on all the big rides. I would say InFusion was the best, and then Bling, and then Pepsi Max, then Irn-bru and all the others were so-so. And I went up the highest point and back down with my uncle and cousin! Well done me! Lol.
Right, last chapter I said, I might boost this up to an 'M' and I will – but not now, when Bella get's a boyfriend or maybe just for fun.
And, I know this question will pop up a lot, so I'll answer it now. Bella is a head turner and heart breaker. She will play with the boys. And she will somehow get in with the La Push boys and try with Jake (hopefully) then he'll turn wolfy, and things will go bad from there.
Umm... I am putting a poll on my profile (if I figure out how to do that) about what Bella should do with Mike – and maybe Edward, or Jake, or any other guy – and which she should fall in love with.
