Last time on The Foreign Hottie

"Hey," Edward chimed in and stepped in front of me. "Why don't we just forget this ever happened and get Jacob's knickers from that pole, alright?"

I admired Edward's braveness and the way he was so mature about the whole situation. If only…

Another one of the boys snorted. "Knickers?! Where are you from? Pluto?!?"

"Hey!" I stormed closer to the boy who had made such an ignorant remark toward Edward. "What the hell is your problem?!"

"What is yours, princess?" he spat back. His face got a little too close to mine. I could feel his hot icky breath on my face. I realized that this boy was much taller and broader than the other little sophomores. It almost seemed like he was about to…hit me. I was suddenly scared, but my feet were stuck to the ground and I couldn't move away.

I felt Edward's cool arm pull me away. "Get the hell away from my girlfriend," he growled and towered over the immature boy.

The boy backed off and mumbled something unintelligent under his breath.

I gaped at Edward's tone. Never once had I seen him so…mean. I almost was afraid of him. With the way his eyes burned and his sharp tone hissed at the boy, it seemed like he wanted to harm him in a way. Even though I knew for a fact Edward wasn't like that.

And then out of nowhere, it hit me! I was so occupied by Edward's ravenous behavior…that I missed it. It hit me like a fast going Frisbee soaring through the air and jabbing me right in the head! Edward called me his…girlfriend. And in front of our classmates no less!

I froze as I digested this new information. So...if he called me his girlfriend in public…then that MUST mean we're an actual couple?! I was freaking out this whole time for no reason…? We actually were a couple to begin with…and I made such a big deal out of nothing. Absolutely nothing. My breathing started to come out ragged and disordered and I saw the clouds above me start to turn green.

My head suddenly felt very hollow inside.

xXxXxXx

I felt like I was in one of those Dr. Seuss books. There were pink little birdies flying over my head. And the sky was an odd green color. It was a weird shade of green….almost exactly like the color of Edward's eyes. Except Edward's eyes didn't have pink little birds soaring in them.

My eyes squinted opened and suddenly closed again by the sudden burst of light. I groaned unconsciously and suddenly realized I was laying on something cold and bumpy.

"I think she's alive…"

"Bella, love, can you hear me?" I heard Edward's melodic voice ask anxiously.

I opened my eyes for the second time and saw Edward's worried eyes blazing through mine. I blinked a couple of times and noticed that I was in the nurse's office. Jacob was behind Edward, with his eyes wide. But he didn't look too worried.

Realization finally hit me.

"Edward," I croaked, "Can you please get the nurse for me?"

He nodded obediently and then rushed out of the little warm room. My eyes were fixed on Jacob's nonchalant gaze. "So," he began flippantly. "Why did you faint?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. It's weird. I felt lightheaded and…"

He ignored my concerns. "And didn't Edward call you his girlfriend? Weren't you freaking out about that a while ago? When really you were just being a dumb-ass the whole time and panicking for absolutely no reason whatsoever?"

His coal-black eyes bored into mine innocently.

I stared dumbfounded at Jake. He was acting as if this was just some walk in the park. I have been freaking about this the past couple of weeks and he calls me a dumb-ass?!? Where was he when I needed him? Now he laughs in my face, as if I deserved it. "You're hilarious, Jacob," I sneered sarcastically.

I tried standing up and getting off of the nurse's plastic bed thingy that scared the hell out of me. The paper crunched as I got up. Right when I did, Edward came sprawling back in, with the nurse at his side. "Hi," I said brightly to her. "I think I'm ready to get to class."

Edward frowned. "Bella, you fainted," he stated.

"Yes, and I am perfectly fine," I replied stubbornly. I looked over Edward's shoulder and saw Jacob yawning. "Hey, what happened with those boys? Did you get your underwear back?" I desperately wanted to change the subject.

Jacob reddened and nodded sheepishly. "Thanks to Edward, they took it down from the flag pole."

I resisted the urge to laugh.

xXxXxXx

So I guess Jacob was right after all. I really was a dumb-ass for overreacting and blowing things out of proportion. As much as a hated being humiliated in front of Jake, I was even happier with the fact that Edward and I were an actual couple. An actual couple, I kept repeating in my head.

Things seemed to be going my way until morning came along…

I woke up feeling fresh and pumped for school until I saw myself in the mirror. Everything was fine at first, my usually straight, brown hair was all over the place and my eyes looked dull as usual. My pale skin was flushed from sleeping. I was always very giddy these days with Edward officially being my boyfriend. It definitely showed on my face.

I was smiling up until the point I saw something huge and red on my forehead.

I gasped and touched the swelled up zit. Is that even real? I tried wiping it away, hoping it would just be magic marker or something. Edward can not see me like this. This pimple is the size of a planet! It doesn't even look healthy! Should I call 911 or something?! Edward can not see this! What if it bursts and I die!? Edward can not see me! Did I mention that if Edward sees me like this I will forever be humiliated?

I started hyperventilating as I searched through my drawers, hoping to find some kind of cover up makeup. Now I really regretted going with Renée to the MakeUP R US store.

A hat! Brilliant! I will just have to wear a hat to cover this sucker up. I rummaged through my closet until I found a decent looking hat that covered part of my forehead.

"This should do," I murmured as I placed the purple, obnoxious hat on my head. It managed to cover the huge zit, but still looked ridiculous on me. The hat was way too big and it looked like it came from the 70's. I sighed. It is either this or the pimple. I picked the hat.

I got ready and sprinted downstairs to eat breakfast. Edward was already taking out our pop tarts from the oven.

His eyes widened at my hat. "Um, nice hat," he complemented hesitantly.

"Thanks!" I said a little too brightly. "Isn't it just fantastic?" I adjusted the hat a bit, hoping my zit was not showing.

"Mmhmm," he murmured as he stared skeptically at it, as if it was an alien or something.

"It is just a hat, Edward," I assured. "It isn't going to bite you or anything."

His brows scrunched together. "I know, but…eh…I guess you're right. I don't care what you wear. You still look utterly beautiful." I blushed. I really did have the best boyfriend in the world. Boyfriend...boyfriend...boyfriend. La la la!

His mouth pressed against mine gently as my stomach filled with butterflies. I stood on the tip of my toes to make the kiss more intimate. I pressed against him as my hand ran through his silky hair. Chills shot through me like lightning; I was simply in heaven.

Bursts of lights went off as my eyes closed. I saw a black sky filled with vivid colors of fireworks and light. I felt whole for once. And the best part was that I was kissing my boyfriend.

Then, I started to do something we haven't done before. My tongue traced Edward's soft lower lip and then-

I felt Edward's hand creep up my back. His hand swiftly and gently took off my hat. I pushed him away. Before he could even open his eyes, I quickly turned around and retrieved the hat.

He opened his eyes and blinked a couple of times. "Why won't you take off that hat, Bella?" He stared down at me skeptically.

I smiled. "Because I like this hat," I lied and quickly took his hand in mine, disappointed that the kiss had to end. "We're going to be late."

xXxXxXx

"Jake, I see you have your boxers on today," I teased as I saw Jacob near his locker.

"Ha-ha, Bella," he muttered and then his eyes adverted to my hat. "Is there some ugly hat convention you have to go to or something?"

I grimaced, touching my hat. "Nothing is wrong with this hat." Which wasn't a lie; it was hiding my gigantic zit from the whole world. This hat practically saved my life! Do you know what could have happened if someone saw my zit/planet? People would scream and run for their lives. There would be traffic, accidents, fires, and babies crying. This hat is practically saving the world and all Jacob could do was laugh.

"Why is it so big…?" He mused incredulously.

"Big hats are the new fashion," I defended sheepishly.

"Of course they are," he mumbled and shook his head. He looked over my shoulder, and his eyes turned angry. "Look who's coming."

I was afraid to turn my head.

"Bella!" I flinched at Alex's voice. I felt his icy hand go to my shoulder. "Long time no see. You ignoring me?"

I faked a smile. "Now, why would I ever do that?" I still loathed the new foreign exchange student, Alex. He was a pain in the butt and wouldn't leave me alone. He insisted that Edward and I weren't really dating and I actually believed him. I think most girls would have actually liked the fact that a complete creeper was watching their every move, but not me.

It's not very fun seeing a complete stranger wink at you every ten minutes.

He shrugged. "Guess what?"

"I don't want to know." I shrugged his hand off my shoulder.

"Lauren is having a pool party and-"

Jake interrupted, "In the middle of winter?"

Alex sighed. "It's an indoor pool party at Lauren's house."

Jake's brows went way up. "Why am I not surprised?"

I laughed and noticed that Alex was staring at me weirdly. "What?" I snapped harshly.

He winked. "Nice hat." I suppressed a gag. "So are you guys coming or what?" I wasn't planning on attending, so I didn't respond right away.

"When is it?" Jacob asked, sounding monotone. He actually didn't seem to care at all.

"Saturday."

"I can't," I lied right away. "My hamster died and I have to bury it…"

"Clever," Jacob muttered under his breath.

Alex scrutinized my red face. "Your hamster…? Can't you just bury him another time?"

"Then he'll rot!" Jacob barked dramatically. "God, Alex. Don't you know anything about hamsters?!"

I bit my lip to keep from laughing. I guess you could pretty much tell that I really didn't have a dead hamster. I wouldn't be caught dead at one of Lauren's marvelous parties that everyone always dies to go to. She usually had one every season and every time it would be some extravagant theme or a crazy band that performed there.

I've know Lauren since junior high school, and not once did she ever invite me. So it came to a sudden shock to me when I found out I was now invited. Somehow, I hoped Alex didn't have anything to do with that.

And the thought of wearing anything remotely close to a swimming suit near Alex, practically made me hurl.

Alex shrugged and then leaned in toward me.

I took a step back.

"I really hope you'll be able to make it…" He whispered seductively in my ear.

I cringed as his hot breath tickled my ear. Ew.

Jacob watched Alex in disgust as he walked away. "Woah, now that guy is creepy."
