Hello All,
Sorry about the slight delay. I had too much homework to do yesterday, didn't have enough time to type this chapter. But it's a super long chapter to make up for the delay. Enjoy, and if you think of any songs you think could work for the story, tell me!!! I love suggestions!!!!

Songs: Damn I'm Good by JTX and Ain't No Other Man by Christina Aguilera
I never did hear Bella come home last might, but she was up and ready to go when I came down for breakfast the next day. As usual, I was running late, so I just grabbed a bowl of cereal. Bella sat across from at the table while I munched away.
"I don't like cereal too much. It's not very fun to eat." Bella was looking at my breakfast as if it had the plague.
"Well I like it."
Never try smiling and chewing at the same time. A little bit of milk dribbled down my chin. I blushed bright red. But Bella only smiled and handed me a napkin.
"Just hurry up. I want to get to school early so you can show me the school like you promised."
"Gimme 5 minutes!" Throwing my bowl in the sink, I rushed upstairs to brush my teeth and grab my stuff for school.
We were already in the car when I looked down. Too late I realized that my bag did not go with my outfit. And it wasn't even a it-so-does-not-match-but-goes-for-some-odd-reason match. Think dark-wash skinny jeans, light orange Kenny Chesney shirt, and a black and silver AC/DC bag. Kenny Chesney and AC/DC do not go together! Right now you're probably thinking I'm a superficial girl. That's not really true. I'm just OCD about matching. As long as I match, I don't really care what I wear. (A/N: I have that bag, and shirt, and trust me, they clash really bad)
"Damn."
"Whoa there Maddy. Since when do you cuss?"
"Since I realized my bag totally clashes with me today." Ugh, how was I going to fix this?
Bella only thought for a second before she spoke "Maddy, you are so lucky I brought this black sweater in case I got cold today." She handed me her bag. It was a light-brown hobo, and went perfectly with my shirt. "Here, take my bag for today. Hurry up and swap our stuff; I don't want to be late for class."
When I finished swapping our stuff, we were already sitting in the parking lot of our school. "Thank you thank you thank you! I love you Bella!" I reached over and gave her a bear hug, Emmett style (A/N: I just had to add that)
"Can't...breathe," I released Bella and turned twenty shades of pink.
"Much better."
"Sorry. Let's go get your schedule so I can show you your classes."
We wove our way to the office, and picked up Bella's schedule. She was thrilled she had English first, which I think is just weird. I had English first, too, but I was anything but happy about it. Surprisingly, Bella and I had one class together; biology 6th period. Even though I'm a freshman, I took a science class at the community college in Port Angeles over the summer, so I was bumped up to biology.
As Bella was studying her schedule, the bell rang. "I go to room 908. Ummmm...where exactly is that?" Bella looked very confused.
"Follow me. See that room? That would be room 601, your history class. And over there is 310, Algebra II. Have fun with Ms. McCoy. Ah, here we are, 908. I've gotta run to English. See you at lunch Bella!"
"Thanks Maddy!" Bella yelled after me as I sprinted cross campus ( campus is really small, just so you know) I made it to class with 5 seconds to spare.
'Nice of you to join us, Miss Swan," Mr. Matlock gave me a cold glare. What else to say about him except that he is the reason thy invented the grade F. I was pulling a D , along with half of the freshman class. It was his goal in life to make sure everybody failed English. I really don't like him. At all.
I mumbled an incoherent threat about his mother and found my seat, in the back, of course. As usual, class consisted of Matlock talking and us taking notes. Well, only about 4 kids were actually taking notes. Not coincidentally, those 4 also had the only A's in the class. The rest were texting, sleeping, passing notes, or, like me, staring off into space. I was out of it that I almost didn't hear the music start.
It sounded sad, so I deduced that I was in for a heartbreak song. But I didn't see anybody in the classroom getting ready to sing. That's when I noticed that Edward was gone. Edward, the to-die-for-gorgeous Cullen, is Matlock's TA. All the Cullens are hot, but Edward is by far the hottest. What girl, and a few guys, could resist those topaz eyes and crooked smile?
Must be him then, I thought, let's listen. The door opened to reveal a gloomy looking Edward. And he started to sing:
Turn down the lights
Take off your shirt
Looks like my charm's
Starting to work
Cause you're not nervous
You're just smiling
You're beautiful like all the rest
You never guess that I've been lying
But I'm lying
The hilarious part of this sad song is that Edward was singing while Matlock was still giving his lecture. And Edward was strolling down all the isles of desks! Matlock, as well as the rest of the class, were entirely oblivious to the fact that Edward was singing, and very well I might add. I struggled to fight back giggles as Edward started the chorus;
Damn I'm good
At being bad
It's so pathetic
So damn sad
I feel much better
When I laugh
It's like your weakness
Is all I have
Damn I'm good
I should feel guilty
But I don't
I should be honest
But I won't
Truth us I like being alone
I don't need anybody's help
That's what I tell my self
But I'm lying
Yes I'm lying
Damn I'm good
At being bad
It's so pathetic
So damn sad
I feel much better
When I laugh
It's like your weakness
Is all I have
Damn I'm good
It's my confession
My dirty secret
It's my confession
My dirty secret
Damn I'm good
At being bad
It's so pathetic
So damn sad
I feel much better
When I laugh
It's like your weakness
Is all I have
Damn I'm good
When Edward finished, he sat down in his chair next to Matlock's desk and got to work. Matlock only looked in Edward's direction and went back to talking, in a boring, monotone voice.
I've heard this sort of song from Edward before. He sings one of those about once a week. You see, Edward and his cousin, Rosalie, rule our school. Rosalie has a boyfriend, Emmett Hale, and Emmett has a brother, Jasper. Jasper's girlfriend is Alice, who is Edward's sister. It's Edward and Rosalie who are the king an queen, literally. Everyone is going to vote for them next year for homecoming king and queen.
Being the most popular guy on campus, Edward has a fan club of girls that follow him around. They even have a website to post how their dates with Edward went. I think it's Anyway, Edward has a lot of girlfriends, both current and ex. You could say he's a player. Except he's so nice when he does it that most girls don't mind.
So Edward sings about how he can't find love a lot. It would get annoying, but (a) he's hot, staring at him is great, and (b)his voice is absolutely angelic. For the rest of the period, I spent my time staring at Edward, and it went by fast. Time flies when you're having fun.
The next few classes went by without anything interesting happening. Well, I take that back. I learned that Kaleigh in my geometry class is cheating on her boyfriend, Drake. With, get this, the other Drake! It's moments like that when I really love being in a musical.
I couldn't find Bella on my way to the cafeteria, so I went in to grab my lunch. Pizza that is just plain disgusting, yum. I had caught sight of my usual table when I glanced over at the Cullen/Hale table. My lunch went crashing to the floor. Bella was sitting with them!!! Or more specific, with Edward Cullen!!!
This can not be good. Edward always goes after new girls, because they don't know he's a player. But they learn once they catch him with another girl.
Shit, Shit, Shit. I have to get Bella out of their now!! There is no way I am letting her get hurt by Edward!!! I was screaming in my thoughts. Ignoring my fallen lunch, I rushed to where Bella was. I attempted to put a calm, collected look on my face, but I don't think I succeeded.
I stammered "Hey Bella. What are you doing here?" putting special emphasis on the last word.
Apparently, taking hints was not one of Bella's strong points. "I have Edward in my English class. We got to talking, and he invited me to sit with him at lunch." she leaned in to whisper, "he is so nice and really hot, too!"
"Why don't you come sit with me and i can introduce you to my friends?" Hopefully she would come.
"Who's this Bella? Oh, wait, let me think. Madison, right?" Edward turned to look at me. When his eyes are you, i swear you can't form a coherent thought, or least that happens when he looks at me.
"Umm...pickles are yummy?" I gave a weak smile. That was all I had, everything else was momentarily lost.
"Ok, whatcha doing here?" He stared at me like I was crazy.
"Ummm...I need to tell Bella something." I turned to Bella, "I'm getting a ride home with my friend, Kayla, so don't wait up for me after school."
"Ok, Maddy. I'm pretty sure I remember how to get home."
"Good. Bye Bella, Bye Edward." I high-tailed it out of there before I said something else stupid. But I didn't miss him take hold of her hand. Wow, Edward really moves fast. He hadn't known Bella for more than 5 hours, and he was already holding her hand.
Kayla's mom dropped me off at home right after school. I was met by Bella's truck in the driveway and what sounded like a jazz band. And it sounded like a happy song. That meant one thing: Bella was going to sing about Edward. I didn't know if I would be able to stand it. I heard so many of those stupid love songs at school.
I trudged up the stairs and slammed my door. But I could still hear Bella singing:
I could feel it from the start,
Couldn't stand to be apart.
Something 'bout you caught my eye,
Something moved me deep inside!
Don't know what you did boy but
You had it and I've been hooked ever since.
told my mother, my brother, my sister and my friends
told the others, my lovers, both
past and present tense.
That every time I see you
everything starts making sense.
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style your badass
Ain't no other man its true
Ain't no other man but you.
Never thought I'd be alright. No, no, no!
Till you came and changed my life.
Yeah, yeah, yeah! What was cloudy now is clear!
Yeah, yeah! You're the light that I needed.
You got what I want boy, and I want it!
So keep on givin' it up!
Tell your mother, your brother, your sister,
and your friends. Tell the others, your lovers,
better not be present tense.
Cause I want everyone to know that
you are mine and no one else's!
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style, your badass - yeah yeah yeah!
Ain't no other man it's true
Ain't no other man but you.
How could Bella get so serious, so fast? But that's how Edward works; he comes on fast and sweeps girls off their feet. If Bella was singing this, there is no way she'll listen to reason. Guess I'll have to wait until he dumps her and pick up the pieces. Hopefully there wouldn't be too many. Just thinking about it is giving me a headache. I jammed my earphones in and blasted Paramore. Somehow Bella sang louder, so I still heard her every word.
How'd you like it??? I neglected my homework to finish this, so don't be too harsh. Sorry Kaleigh, I just had to add the Drake thing. Anyways, next chapter coming by Thursday, if I'm lucky, but most likely Friday.
