Second chapter of the day!

I do not own Twilight

Ch. 8

"Hey Bella" The guy said.

"So you met Bella already?" asked Eric looking a little annoyed at him.

"Yeah. Saturday in fact."

"Really? Where?" asked Jessica narrowing her eyes on me.

"Um.."

But before I could finish the guy said "at the Cullen's."

Everyone looked at me as if waiting for some explanation, but instead I just said "yeah."

"Did you tell everyone about your mom marrying Dr. Cullen?"

"I didn't know the future Mrs. Cullen had a daughter" someone said.

"Well she does" guy continued giving me a hypocrite smile.

I felt so uncomfortable because everyone was either staring at me in disbelief or glaring at me, Jessica with an special intensity. Good Job Bella. You should have stopped her before she filled you in with all the rumors about the Cullen's. I couldn't stand it so I just took my food tray and stoop up. Thankfully the bell ringed at that same moment so I just headed to class.

On my way there I could hear people talking about me stuff like "No wonder she owns that car", "Do you think she lives with them?", "Is she sitting with them when they come back?", and finally "Are they coming back or did they leave because she came?" I was considering taking a detour and walking to the office and pretend to be sick and go some when Angela approached me.

"Bella, are you okay?"

"As well as I can be now that everyone hates me."

"Not everyone hates you. I don't hate you. It's not you fault Jessica likes to gossip and Mike likes attention."

"Mike?"

"Yeah, the guy that said met you at the Cullen's, but don't worry he isn't that bad. He is just seeking attention."

"Not that bad? I saw him once at the party and he just looked at me like I had just killed his puppy. He didn't even said anything to me. I don't even know why he even was at the wedding."

"He did that? Wow! Well everyone knows he was kind of jealous of the attention that the Cullens attracted when they came here. No one paid attention to him for a while and the girl who he wanted to go prom rejected him because like many others where hopeful that Edward Cullen would ask her out. But after a while things returned to what they were before the Cullens arrival. And I don't even know why he was at the wedding."

"But why was he mad at me? I didn't do anything to him."

"Yeah but he probably thinks that you are 'stealing the spotlight' or bringing it back to the Cullens."

"Oh please, he shouldn't worry about that. I usually never attract much attention and when I do its not for good reasons. But apparently that's what he wanted, make everyone hate me and he accomplished it. Now I hope he can leave me alone."

"Bella don't worry about it. I can tell you are a good person and I know everything is going to work out."

"Thanks Angela."

"No problem."

God, in the movies its usually the girls who worry about being popular I never thought it was a big deal. But I guess for Mike it is. I just hope that he leaves me alone from now on.
