(I had a red Gatorade before….not so good for others around me :S)

Yeh so heres this chapter….

The Unexplained Gossip

Why else would Edward be here? He wouldn't be caught dead driving around the 'scumbags' homes. Scumbags meaning people like me.

"Bells wait! I need to talk to you." He called out to me. Why would he talk to me?


I turned around and walked up to him. "Don't call me Bells." I spat in his face, before marching towards the school.

I'd made it to the parking lot within two minutes and headed for the door. I noticed some people staring at me but shook it off. Of course there'd be stares. But I would've thought they'd have a little more self respect.

I kept my head and down and tucked my hands under my sleeves. I got that eerie feeling again, but this time stronger. Like someone was studying my every move, not just watching me. I got to the door leading to the main office and opened the door. One of the girls in my English class was walking out and accidently bumped into me,

"S-sorry…" she said with her head down. What is with these people? They're acting as if I have some sort of terminal disease.

I passed her and walked into the office, heading for Ms Edmunds desk. She was sitting playing with her artificial dry blonde hair, and clicking her ever so perfect pink manicured fingers against the desk. She was only a few years older then me-graduated 3 or 4 years back and was so desperate for a job she came here. She saw me come in and straighten up, putting on her fake smile.

"I need a new locker." I told her dully. Someone had thought it to be funny to right 'RIP' all over the locker door next to mine which so happens to be Sarah's, and 'Dry your eyes, emo!' on mine. God I go to a lovely school… (This has happened to a friend of my mates. Her brother died and someone wrote this in black spray paint on her locker. Cruel =[ Ms Edmunds gave me the combination for my new locker which was on the other side of the block as my old one. I set down the hall, ignoring stares and whispers as best I could. Suddenly I heard a familiar voice,

"Bella, wait up! Bella it's me, Alice" I turned around to see her little black spikes bouncing up and down while she ran towards me. As soon as she got close enough she skidded to a halt and took my hand. I didn't find the strength to resist, and honestly I didn't want to. She led me into a bathroom with a note sticking on the door "Don't even think about considering entering here unless you want a missing hand."

I looked at it curiously then at Alice. "A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do." She answered to my questioning gaze. Pulling me through the door I took a glance behind us. There were probably about 20 students watching to see what was going on.

Too bad for them Alice had already shut the door behind me.

"Bella, this is my friend Rosalie. She's going to help you too, okay?" I looked to see a tall blonde girl sitting on the countertop smiling warmly at me. The fact that she was utterly the most gorgeous person I've seen with the fiercest sapphire eyes made it seem like a dream. There was no way I could have not one, but two beautiful people trying to help me. She got up and walked over to me, shaking my hand and then pulling me into a tight embrace. "Bella, I am truly sorry about what you have gone through. I can't even start to imagine how much hurt this has put you in, but I swear, Alice and I are going to be here with you the whole time." She sincerely promised me.

I smiled at her but it was only half-heartedly. No matter how thankful I am for these two angels to enter my life, I couldn't force myself hard enough to find a way out of this dark hole my life has transformed into. But I made a promise to myself, for the sake of Alice and Rosalie, I would try.

Edward *POV*

I woke up Thursday morning in a strange mood. It felt like today things would change. Of course things would change today, dumbarse. Oh right, I forgot. Today was the day Isabella Swan came back to school. Everyone had been waiting for this day. No-one had seen Bella for 3 weeks now, and I knew for a fact she was the centre of many rumours and gossip tales around the school. One of the perks being king of the school was knowing what rumours were active and what which were true or not. For example, there was a rumour going around that Bella had become so depressed that she had tried to kill herself numerous times, but always failed. This was semi-true. I got some information off Carlisle, my father of all intensive purposes, that Bella had tried to pull her life support out and try to hurt herself in hospital. Whereas the rumour about her purposefully turning the car off in the middle of the intersection to try kill herself and her best friend was false.

Sometimes I hated being in 'The Group' but I was too far in now to get out. I got dressed and walked downstairs to find Alice making breakfast.

"Good morning, sister dear." I greeted her. I opened the cupboard to get some cereal and found a box of half eaten frosties (can someone explain what these are??? Being in Australia, we don't have these, but they are in every American based story….lol) and turned around to see Alice fuming over her food. She just nodded at me and carried on.

O….kay that wasn't usual chipper, annoying Alice behaviour. I moved around the island to hug her but she dodged my arms. Scowling I grabbed the milk from her and walked back to my spot.

When I realised what she was so moody about I launched into defence.

"Oh come on, Alice! It's not like I did it on purpose. I didn't want to do this to anybody." No response, "C'mon sis, just lighten up. I'll sit somewhere else at lunch-with Tanya- if it helps." I used my best persuading voice. It worked,

"And don't you dare go near her either. She's already going to hate you. I don't need her hating me either."

What does it matter to Alice if she hates her? It's not like they hang out or anything…"Why would you care if she hates you or not? Besides I can't not go near her. She's my lab partner in biology remember? I can't skip class or…something…" I cut off; silenced by the death glare she was sending my way. Okay…Either somebody has stolen my Alice and traded her with some little moody, angry pixie. I internally chuckle at the memory of Emmett calling her that at a family picnic we had oh-so many years ago. Coming back to the present I noticed Alice staring silently into some unknown image. This was my Alice. There was no-body outside of the family who knew our secret. Alice was like no other person. Literally. Proving my point, Alice put her hand up to silence any questions, she confirmed my suspects of her having another one of her visions. The rest happened in a blur. I kept asking her what she saw, but was granted each time with silence. Ali grabbed her shoes and keys and rushed out to her car and drove off before I had the chance to get in.

"Females." I muttered to myself.

Going back inside I found the keys to my Revell Diecast Volvo 1800S, chugged down a quick glass of orange juice, said goodbye to Esme and got in my car to follow Alice. She'd left in such a rush there were tyre marks down the road. I figured I'd just drive in the general direction the marks were and try find her.

After about 5 minutes of driving I saw her black and yellow mustang 50 metres away. I could see a car behind me following slowly. Noticing Jessica Stanley in the drivers' seat, I waved my hand out the window to let her pass. I don't need her artificialness (haha LOL I love that word….Go Eddie-kins!!) near me right now. With a moment of hesitation she sped forward, overtaking Alice on the way.

Alice started to slow down, so I followed suit. I was only a few metres behind her when she slowed right down to a stop. I saw her questioning glance in the mirror and then her disappointed scowl.

"Edward, go home! Or school! Just leave!" She shouted out her window.

"Not a chance." I shouted back to her. I wasn't leaving her just yet.

I saw her shocked face in the mirror and got out of my car to see what she was doing, when I was interrupted by a loud car horn and a blood curdling scream. Whipping my head up to see what was wrong I saw Isabella Swan sprinting into a bush crying while Jessica just kept driving. Alice scrambled out of her car and ran as fast as I've ever seen her run towards the trees where Bella ran into. I locked my car. It looked like we'd be a while.

And I wasn't leaving Alice.

I followed her to a little patch of flat soil, and saw Alice just sitting there with her arms around a sobbing Bella. I was about to say something when Alice shot me a look that told me to back away. Sighing in defeat I walked to the car and just waited.

After 15 or so minutes I heard Alice talk. There came no response from Bella but instead I heard a rustling of sticks and branches and saw Bella coming out of the shrubs, tears streaking her face and started half walking-half jogging away. I quickly caught up to her just as she was about to turn around. She knocked into my chest sending her stumbling backwards. She quickly caught herself and mumbled an apology looking up. Her eyes widened a fraction when she realised who I was and then she shoved past me and marched off.

Without thinking I called out to her, "Bells wait! I need to talk to you"

Oh god, she's not gonna like that… I guess I have no right to call her that.

Confirming my suspicions Bella turned around, marched over to me and stood on her tippy toes to come level with me face. "Don't call me Bells." She spat at me with such hatred I just stared in shock. Wow. So she weren't kidding when Alice said she hated me.

It was different to usual. I'm used to being envied. Adored. Wanted. All these things, but not hated.

Turning around, Bella stormed off in the direction of the school.

"I hate to say I told you so, but, I told you so." Alice chirped behind me. I looked to see her smug little face looking after Bella.

Getting my car, grumbling, I started the engine and drove to school.

One thing for sure, I could sure as hell wait for lunch.

Okay okay…I know I said this was the whole school/lunch drama but really…this chapter is already long….so next chapter. I promise.

Also…This chapter was to let you in on Eddie-kins little mind :P

Love it, like it, absolutely hate it. Whatever, just please review :)

I'll make you cake :P
