Last time on The Foreign Hottie:
"Hello, my name is Bella. I'm a sexy beast; I'm going to pick up the phone…right….NOW!"
Oh. My. God. You have got to be kidding me! Was that my phone!? And why was that my ring tone?! I felt my ears and face turn bright red as I continued to freeze, hoping it would stop ringing soon.
A couple of guys in the back busted out laughing, muttering inappropriate words. And a couple of girls snorted as they rolled their eyes. Edward's eyes widened and a tiny smile crept on his face as he looked at me in shock.
Jeez, how could this happen to me!? Even Edward was amused. It finally stopped ringing and I felt a wave of relief crash over me.
Mr. Ziggman coughed loudly. "Ms. Swan. You know you shouldn't have phones on during class." He pointed to the door. "Principal's office right now. I'm sure you're smart enough to know where that is."
I grabbed my backpack and dashed out the door without looking back.
Once I was far from the classroom I searched for my phone with shaky hands, still shocked from what happened.
I wanted to know who had called me. No one ever called me during school. I flipped opened the phone and saw that I had a new text message.
Bells, meet me at mucky water fountain ASAP. I have something to tell you.
It was from Jake.
My body shook with fury. I snapped my phone shut more urgently then necessary. I stomped over to the water fountain that was only a couple of hallways away.
Jacob Black was dead.

I felt the heat coming from my face as I practically ran to the future death scene of Jacob Black's. I momentarily began thinking of ways to kill the little creature…
Maybe if I just strangle his little neck…it would only hurt for awhile.
Or maybe I could stick his head in the toilet, drowning him wouldn't be so bad.
It actually would be more painless if I –
"Bella…?" I heard an unfamiliar voice say behind me.
My head snapped to the direction of his voice. It wasn't who I expected it to be…
Alex, I growled in my head. "What do you want?" I snapped.
"Oh Bella, don't be like that," he said innocently with his big caramel eyes.
Alex was leaning against the hallway wall with his arms crossed, his eyes wandering all over me.
"I'm looking for Jacob," I said sternly, crossing my arms like his.
He shrugged. "He's probably in class. Like everyone else…"
"I guess I'll have to wait then."
Alex waited as well. He just watched me with an amused grin as I paced around the hallway.
We were the only ones in the silent hallway. The only sound was my light breathing and Alex's creepy breath. I started to tap my foot impatiently, waiting for stupid Jake to come already.
Alex broke the silence when he said, "Is that a new necklace?" He pointed at my key chain that was dangling off my neck.
I gently touched the piece of metal that Edward made for me. "Yes. Edward made it for me," I replied without hesitation.
Alex didn't saying anything. He just stared, which made me slightly uncomfortable. Slightly being an understatement.
I had dropped my backpack by the mucky water fountain and paced more around the hallway. I knew the school's policy on absent in class was not strict. So I wasn't worried very much on getting another detention for not being with the principle.
Alex just stayed with me. I didn't want to ask why he did, afraid of what creepy stuff he would say to me. I glanced at the clock, and realized I've been waiting here for almost ten minutes. Passing period would begin soon…
"Where is Jake?" I growled under my breath.
"What makes you think he was coming here?"
"He sent me a text message, telling me to meet him here," I explained rationally.
Alex's lips twitched as if he was holding back a smile.
I kept pacing around the hallway, ignoring Alex's awkward smile. Why was he staring at me like that? Does he know he how much of a creeper he is? What a…
I stopped midway as I realized how stupid I was. I spun around to face Alex's flippant gaze on me.
"Give it to me," I demanded, my arm extended out to Alex.
"Give what?" he asked innocently, but beneath his dark eyes, I could see the hint of amusement deep down.
"Jacob's phone," I answered clearly without uncertainty. I knew he had Jake's cell. It all made sense.
"I really don't know what you are talking about." He was holding back a smirk.
That little –
Just at that perfect little moment, the bell rang. The hallway suddenly emerged with scurried students trying to get somewhere. I could barely make out Alex anymore.
"See you later, Bella," I heard him yell from wherever he was.
I stomped my foot hard on the ground and hurried to pick up my backpack.
I felt a warm hand go to my waist. Startled, I spun around to see Edward. He had an amused grin on his face.
"Aren't you supposed to be in the principle's office?" he teased accusingly.
I shrugged flippantly as his arms rapped around mine. I was still embarrassed that Edward had to see that whole scenario with the ring tone.
"I can't believe Jacob made that my ring tone," I muttered while looking down in embarrassment.
Edward shrugged. "It was probably just an accident." Typical Edward always had to be the nice guy. I snorted as I leaned toward Edward for a little peck, but he backed away. "Where were you this whole time?"
He wasn't asking accusingly, just curiously.
I froze. There was no way in hell I was telling him about Alex. He would go berserk and maybe do something harsh to Alex for stealing Jake's phone. Hmm, maybe that's not such a bad thing after all…
"I um, was w-waiting for Jake. He has text me to meet him by the water fountain, but never showed," I stuttered, trying not to look like I was hiding something.
"Oh," he replied contently with a smile. I sighed in relief. Edward leaned down to kiss me as the crowd of students still swarmed around us.
I felt whole as his arms tightened around me. I let myself unwind from all the stress that took over me.
I was really getting into the kiss until I heard a panicked voice from behind us. I already knew it was Jake. No one has such a high voice like his.
I hesitantly pulled away from Edward's eager lips, frustrated. Edward sighed a bit impatiently as he looked over my shoulder at Jacob.
"Bella, something horrible has happened," Jacob said quickly. "My cell phone is gone. I have to get it back. Leah said she would give me a call. I need my phone when she calls. I don't know what to do. If I don't answer when she calls, I think I'll go crazy and-"
"Hold on," I raised my voice, I need to let him know about Alex. "There's something you need to know first."
A/N: I am truly and deeply sorry for never updating at all! I haven't given up on this story and I intend to finish it with taste. Thank you to the people who gave me the push and hope to keep writing this story, it really means a lot to me! I know this chapter was very short, but it was something.
Anyway, I know how I want to end this story, but I don't know of any of ideas for different scenarios in between now and the end. If anyone has any good ideas to start jump back into the story again, then that would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!
