All I can say is wow! You guys are amazing. Thanks so much for all my reviews. Keep them up. Here's the next chapter. Happy reading. And once again thank you to my beta.

Edward's POV

All day Tanya had been following me around. She would cling to my arms and try to steal kisses from me, but I would just push her away and tell her to leave me alone.

She, of course, wouldn't listen.

I was sitting in Biology waiting anxiously for Bella, hoping to God that she didn't think I was a fool for trying to make her jealous, even though I know she didn't know I had trying to.

I saw her enter the room and she sat down next to me in a very careful and awkward manner.

I knew that the reason she was being so distant was because she felt weird having experience my heavy make out session with crotch-and-herpes-mouth-Tanya.

I looked at her and saw her trying to sneak glances at me, only to look away quickly.

I decided to speak.

"Hello Bella."

She turned her head slightly and nodded her reply. I frowned. Why was she avoiding conversation?

I decided to just focus my attention to the front of the class where Mr. Banner was getting ready to start class.

"Okay class, today I want you to work with your partners to look at the onion roots that I have placed under your microscopes. Identify and label the stages of mitosis and the winners will receive," he went to the front of the class to his desk where he picked up an object, "the golden onion."

The whole class groaned and I rolled my eyes. Apparently receiving the golden onion was supposed to be an honour, when really, it was just a normal Walla Walla yellow onion spray painted gold.

I cleared my throat and turned to Bella.

"Ladies first," I said and slid the microscope in her direction.

She leaned forward and grabbed the neck of the microscope with her left hand and the eye piece in her right. She was about the look in it when she hesitantly slid her eyes in my direction.

"So," She cleared her throat. "Why did you kiss Tanya Denali?"

She scrunched up her nose as if she smelled something really bad.

I smirked at her.

"Why?" I asked in a teasing tone. "Were you jealous?"

"No!" She said quickly and a little too defensively. She blushed crimson and looked into the eye piece.

"Uhmm.. prophase."

She pushed the microscope towards me.

I ignored it.

"So why do you ask then?" I asked suspiciously.

She blushed even darker.

"I-I was just wondering," she said, not meeting my eyes.

There was a slight pause before she finally looked at me and spoke again.

"I mean, everyone knows you can't stand her, so I was just wondering why you did it," she shrugged. "Are you going out?"

I looked at her curiously.

"Why?"

"Why are you being so suspicious?" She huffed."I just wanted to know because if you were, it probably isn't a good idea for you to go out with me this weekend."

I glared at her.

"For your information Bella, no we are not going out-"

"Then why-"

I stopped her from interrupting by speaking again. I knew what she was going to ask, so I answered her before she could voice her question.

"I kissed her to make you jealous."

Her eyes widened in surprise.

"What?"

"Yes Bella I did. But that's beside the point. I know for a fact that you just asked that so you can make up an excuse not to go out with me."

Bella gasped at my words.

I saw Bella's anger rise. I knew I was being a dick but I couldn't help it. I was seething with jealousy that Bella preferred Jacob over me. I hated that he knew Bella before me and that he had every right
to love her and for her to love him in return and it pissed off!

"What kind of girl do you take me for Cullen? You do know that I do not have to go out with you. I could very well cancel this date!"

"Miss Swan and Mr. Cullen-"

"Mrs. Cullen," I muttered under my breath. Mr. Banner didn't notice but Bella did. She shot daggers at me with her eyes.

"Is there a problem here?" Mr. Banner asked.

Bella continued to glare at me but said, "No."

"Then get back to work," he ordered and walked away.

Bella turned in her chair quietly as I grabbed the microscope. I quickly changed the slides and looked, adjusting the focus.

"That's uh... Anaphase."

She continued to scowl at the front of the class while I wrote down the answer.

I noticed her subtly glancing down at the piece of paper I was writing on. I saw her eyebrows scrunch in recognition.

"W-what?" I asked.

She turned her head fully towards me to take a better look at the paper.

"You're handwriting. It looks just like..." She looked back up and into my eyes.

"You sent me those flowers didn't you?" She asked me in an even voice but though slightly edgy voice.

I blushed in a color that I thought only Bella was able to achieve. Fuck I was caught.

"Yeah," I said almost inaudible.

I winced expecting her to yell and scream at me. But nothing came.

I looked up and what I saw surprised me. There was no red face seething with anger. Instead there were soft eyes and smile that showed full on adoration.

I stared at her, waiting for her to say something.

"That has to be the sweetest thing that anyone has ever done for me," she whispered finally.

I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. I was too much in shock.

She just smiled sweetly at me and leaned towards me. Her arms were spread as if she was going to hug me, but before she could, I yelped in pain as her foot came down on mine.

"Sorry," Bella said, blushing.

"That's fine," I said chuckling. "Just watch what you're doing next time."

"Well it wouldn't have happen if you didn't have such big feet," she teased.

I smirked slyly.

"Well you know what they say about big feet?"

"Big shoes?" she asked innocently even though we both knew that that's now what I'd meant.

"Why Mrs. Cullen, I do believe you ate flirting with me."

She blushed.

"Maybe I am," she agreed, then scowled slightly. "Don't call me that," She said, only half serious.

I chuckled as she giggled.

"Are we still on for this weekend Bella?"

She blushed like a tomato.

"Sure Edward."

And at that she leaned towards me and kissed me on the cheek. I had a big, stupid grin plastered on my face for the rest of the lesson.

Bella's POV

"Alice do I really have to?" I complained while driving in Alice's car on the way to Port Angeles. I really didn't want a make-over, but Alice had recently acquired five hundred dollars and was determined to buy me expensive make-up and a whole new wardrobe.

I had asked where the money came from, but she wouldn't tell me.

"Bella," she said as if she were talking to a child. "We need you to be more confident and for you to realize why this secret admire likes you so much."

I smirked at her.

"I already know who my secret admirer is Alice."

"Oh really? Who?"

The look in her eyes told me that she already knew.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Your brother."

"Oh!" She said in an out of place, high pitched voice. "Well I should have known."

She slapped her forehead with her hand.

I rolled my eyes. She was a terrible liar.

"You knew, didn't you Alice?"

"What?" She said in that high pitched voice again, which clearly meant that she was lying. "Of course I didn't."

"Alice!" I said exasperated. I was tired of this.

"Okay okay. Yes I did know." She winced as if she was waiting for me to yell; she knew me too well.

"Alice! Why did you lie to me and say that you didn't know who it was?"

She sighed.

"I did it to help Edward."

I saw red.

"Why Alice?" I asked, getting really angry now. "Why are you supporting Edward in this? All this is to Edward is a game; a competition. What? Are you Team Edward or something?"

"How can I not be Team Edward, Bella? He's my brother!"

"Still I think I've made it clear that I don't want to be with Edward. So I would appreciate it if you would stop trying to help him get with me."

I looked at Alice when she didn't answer immediately. She had a contemplating look on her face.

Finally she broke the tense silence by saying, "I can't promise that Bella."

I gaped at her in shock. She was really that willing to help her brother be with me? She truly believed that strongly that we belonged together?

For the rest of the hour long ride we sat in tense silence, obviously not happy with each other.

----

"Ow Alice!" I yelled when she plucked one my eyebrows. She had said that my eyebrows needed to be a tiny bit more shaped and the whole process was torture!

"Oh calm down Bella! I'm almost done."

She pulled out a couple more hairs while I would hiss and wince in pain. Each time Alice would roll her eyes.

When she was finally done she grabbed a hand mirror that was on the table that held all her hair stuff and make up.

I received the mirror from her and looked at my eyebrows. I have to admit that I did look better. My eyes looked sexier and more seductive but in an innocent way. It was strange how the littlest change made the biggest differences in my face.

"Wow Alice! This looks great!"

She smiled. "I know. I am an artist."

She bent down and gave a dramatic bow.

I laughed at her silliness.

"Okay. Now time for your make up."

I didn't mind the make-up so much because she purposely bought make up was more natural so that I could wear it from day to day. But, because Alice was Alice, she also bought another set of make-up that I would wear if I ever wanted to look sexy. That make-up was much darker and noticeable.

She told me how to properly apply the eye shadow that was supposed to make my brown eyes "pop".

The eye shadow case had three different colors in it, ranging from a slightly darker colour to a lighter one.

Alice told me to put the darkest shade on the top part of my eyelid and blend it a little with my finger. Then she told me to put the second darkest shade on the bottom part of my eye lid and slightly blend the two colors together. Lastly, I was to put the lightest shade underneath my eyebrows and blend that color alone.

After my eye shadow was done she applied a natural dark-brown colored mascara onto my previously curled eye-lashes.
She said that I didn't need any foundation since my skin was beautiful but added a tiny bit of face powder to even my skin tone out.

Last, she put a very, very light pink blush on my cheek bones even though I blushed enough already.

She told me how to style my flat, boring brown hair and make it have a little bit more volume by "teasing" it and spraying hairspray onto it. Then she taught me how to use the curling iron so I could wave it slightly.

Finally she picked out my outfit forthe rest of the week;and today which was a white button up shirt that had been ridiculously expensive and some dark wash blue skin jeans pairs with black ballet flats.

Alice said that I looked my best when I was in the simplest of clothes.

"There," she said. "Now you are showing your true beauty instead of hiding it from the rest of the world."

I looked at myself in Alice's full length mirror. I had to admit that I looked beautiful with seemingly no effort involved.

"Are you ready for school tomorrow?" Alice asked.

I nodded. I couldn't wait to show Jacob the real me. I just hoped he liked it.
