Not Always as They Appear

Chapter 3: Messed Up and Locked Up

BPOV

I woke up to see Em and Rose still asleep on the floor. Rose was wrapped up in blankets, with her head on Emmett's chest. Emmett was sprawled all over with Rose's head on his chest. Where Alice was, was now empty.

"Alice?" I whispered, walking up stairs to Alice's room. I opened her door to find Alice already dressed with make-up and hair done. She was wearing a mint green top, with draping sleeves; the top was pulled together with a green and pink beaded necklace. With the top she wore artfully faded jeans. (On Profile) She also had a hair straighter heating on her vanity.

"Alice what are you doing?" I asked as she danced through her room and closet.

"Picking clothes for you and Rose," she answered as she twirled around the room.

I shook my head and sat on her bed as she continued chose our clothes. About ten minutes later Rose came up and joined me on the bed, while Alice still ran around the room.

"Ok Bella, take a shower, put this on, then come and I'll do your make-up." She ordered, handing me my outfit.

I took the clothes and went into the bathroom. I turned the water on, and when they water was hot, I jumped in.

As the water ran down my back I thought about what happened. I knew that Edward hated me, but how did I feel? I hated him, everything about him. He was the scum of the school. Ok I can't lie to my self I was hopelessly in love with him, even to this day.

I quickly put on the 'dress'- it was too short to be a dress- and the leggings. I looked at what Alice put me in and was shocked I could pull it off. The dress came down about mid thigh with long sleeves. The under part of the sleeve and the main part of the dress was a black, blue, and white pattern. There was a black strip around the waist and the neck and top part of the sleeves were black as well. Along with the dress where a pair of black leggings. (On Profile)

I walked back out into Alice's room to see Rose also fully dressed. She wore a turquoise shirt with low neck-line. At the neck-line was a sequined diamond. The bottom of the shirt flared out a little also. With the shirt she wore black pants. (On Profile)

As soon as I walked in, Alice sat me down at her vanity. Alice worked on my make-up, as Rose worked on straitening my hair.

When they were done were grabbed our school things and headed down stairs to meet up with Emmett.

"Wow! Bella you look HOT!" Emmett looked shocked.

"Don't be so shocked Em," I said teasingly.

"Sorry Bella, it's just that I've never seen you in cute, girly clothes. You usually just wear jeans and a tee."

"I know but your sis. and girl got to me." I replied looking pointedly at Alice and Rose.

After Emmett and I finished teasing each other, the gang and I went out to the Jeep. When we got to the school parking lot we 'just happened' to pull into the spot next to a silver Volvo, and the owner of said Volvo is the jerk himself, Edward.

"Why did we have to park here? I mean there are spots all over and we just had to park here?" I asked Emmett.

"Why do you have a problem with this spot? What did it ever do to you?" he asked me.

"No not with the spot, with the driver that is parked next to us."

"Well, just deal with it," snapped Rose.

"Fine, I just won't look at him," with that I climbed out of the car. When I climbed out of the car I turned and ran into a brick wall. At least that's what I thought like until I looked up and saw Cullen looming over me.

"Watch it Swan." He spat at me.

"Yeah whatever Cullen," I spat back. With that I pushed past him and headed to first period before the bell rang.

School seemed to just drag on and on. Another annoying thing was that boys kept staring at my ass. I swear I was going to kill Alice and Rose for putting me in this. Finally it was lunch.

I walked into the cafeteria to find not only Alice, Em, and Rose there, but also Jasper, Rose's twin. He was pretty cool, except for the fact that he was Edward's friend. I also knew that Alice had the biggest crush on him. They were perfect for each other.

"Guys what's up?" I asked as I sat down by Alice.

"Nothing how was your morning?" asked Rose.

"Fine, boring as always."

"So what's up Jasper I haven't talked to you in a while?" I asked him.

"Nothing much. You?"

"Nata." Just as I finished my sentence someone sat down in the seat between Emmett and Jasper, and across from me. Oh and did I mention it was Cullen?

"Hey Jasper."

"Hey Edward, you know Alice, Emmett, Rose, and Bella, right?"

"Yeah they are all in my PE class, and Bella is my lab partner," Then in a whisper so low I wasn't sure I heard it, "Thankfully." I must be mistaken.

At lunch everyone talked about classes and the dance coming up. I added my opinion, but nothing more. I also looked every where but Cullen. But I swear I swear I saw him staring at me from the corner of his eye almost all through lunch. I, again, must be mistaken.

When the warning bell rang everyone got up and headed to their next class. Sadly, since we sat at lunch together, Edward and I had to walk to class together.

APOV

Faze one: force lion and lamb (Emmett's nicknames for Edward and Bella) to sit together at lunch and to walk together to bio.

BPOV

Edward and I walked into Bio. and sat down with out even a sideways glance at each other. By the time the bell rang I had only glanced at Edward once, which I find a great achievement. The bell rang and Mr. Banner walked in and class started.

"Now class today we will be doing a lab. You and your partner will be (I have no idea what they are doing, I just know they are using chemicals. And yes I know they aren't in chemistry, just use your imagination people)" Great, another fun filled lab to do with my favorite person, Cullen. Note the sarcasm.

Once the materials were passed out and Mr. Banner had told to begin, I reluctantly turned to Cullen, "Look we are going to have to work together weather we like it, so let's just do it and get it over with."

"Fine."

I turned on the burner and started the lab. I was almost done.

"Cullen, hand me the vile with the Blue liquid in it," I said, holding my hand out, leaving my eyes on the beaker above the flame. When Edward handed me the vile I immediately poured it into the beaker. About ten seconds later the beaker was over flowing with a green froth.

"Mr. Banner!!!" I screamed.

He looked up and ran over, then began leading me over to the sink. I dropped the beaker in the sink and washed off my arm.

"Miss. Swan, which vile did you pour into that beaker?"

"The blue one," I stated.

"Are you sure?"

"I think, I asked Cullen for the vile with the blue liquid, when he handed it to me I poured it in then this green stuff started pouring out."

"Did the blue vile have a purple one next to it?"

"I think?" it came out more like a question.

"I know what happened, Mr. Cullen must have accidentally handed you the purple one instead of the blue one. If that is the case you'll be fine and it won't hurt your grade because it was a simple accident."

I thanked Mr. Banner and headed back to my seat.

"You. I can't believe you." I yelled, pointing at him.

"What did I do?"

I picked up the blue vile, "What color is this?"

"Blue why?" he asked confused.

"Then why did you hand me the purple one?" I snapped.

"What purple one? There were two blue ones on the table and I handed you one. Then when you poured it into the vile green foam poured out. So how is this my fault Swan?"

"No you idiot, there was a BLUE vile and a PURPLE vile. You handed me the PURPLE one!" I yelled.

"What purple one?" He yelled back.

"The one next to the BLUE one." I snapped back.

Before Cullen could yell back Mr. Banner interrupted.

"Both of you will see me after class."

What a coincidence that the bell decided to ring at that exact moment.

Edward and I both slowly walked up to Mr. Banner's desk.

"Now you two turned a small accident into a huge event. As punishment, in stead of detention you will clean my room after school. Now off to class the both of you." He said handing Cullen and I passes.

Again in gym we had a free day so I sat on the bleacher and talked to the gang.

"So what happened in Bio.?"

"Well were doing a lab and…" I then continued (If you are so slow that you don't remember then scroll up!!!)

"So do you want us to wait after school for you?"

"Nah, home isn't that far I'll walk. And if it's too dark then I'll call Charlie."

"You sure?"

"Yeah Alice."

Right then Cullen decided to walk up behind me.

"Thanks Sawn."

"What did I do?" I asked.

"You got us locked up in Banner's room after school." No he didn't.

"ME? You're the one that handed me the purple vile."

"Yes, but you didn't check to see if the one I handed you was the right one."

"What ever Cullen. Believe what ever you want."

"You know what Swan?" he paused, "I'm glad were no friends any more." With that he turned on his heal and walked away.

I couldn't believe he felt that way. It took all I had not to break down crying right there.

EPOV (You know you love me)

"You know what Swan?" I paused, "I'm glad were no friends any more." With that I turned and walked away.

I can't believe I just lied like that. It hurt me to do, but I did.

BPOV (sorry don't kill me)

When the bell rang I headed to Mr. Banner's room or as I now call it, Hell.

Edward was already there and had started to clean the room. He had a pained look on his face, but I didn't ask.

After about and hour we were almost done and only had a few boxes to put in the science closet at the back of the classroom. Cullen and I hadn't talked. I grabbed a couple and so did Cullen. We headed to the closet. I pulled the door open and headed in, followed by Cullen. Behind us I heard the worst sound imaginable, the door closing.

I ran to the door and tried to open it to find it was locked. I turned to Edward, "we're locked in."
