Bella POV

My eyes widened as a handsome boy, (Literally, compared to how much older I was to him.) approached me. They widened even more when I found out who it was.

"What the- Jacob?" I asked in disbelief. "I thought you weren't going to go to college. Or at least I thought you were going to go to the college on the reservation." Jacob grinned and shook his head.

He smiled sincerely. "It's so great to see you again, Bella! Man, I've missed you! And no, I decided to go to college after Dartmouth sent me a letter, and Billy threatened to disown me if I didn't go…So here I am!"

Alice grinned at Jacob, and Rose gave him a death glare, then looked away. "Still the same there, blonde!" Jacob said cheerfully. Rosalie huffed. He turned towards little Alice, literally towering above her. "Hey there, squirt," he grinned. Alice stiffened, then relaxed.

"Hey there, gigantasaurus," she shot back. Jacob gave her a broad smile. I smiled, happy that everyone was getting along. Then I glanced at an irritated Rosalie. Well, almost everyone.

"We'd better head off to class now," Rosalie said quickly, anxious to get away from Jacob. Alice said goodbye, then sauntered off. I looked at Rosalie.

"You should probably say goodbye, too, Rose," I reminded her. Rosalie grunted in response.

"Goodbye, dog," she sneered. Jacob smiled cheerfully and walked away after I called out my goodbye. Rosalie rolled her eyes. With that, we left and walked toward our next class, English, my major and my favorite class of all. Yay!

"So!" shouted the English teacher, Mr. Gunler. "I want you all to write a 1000 word essay on Catch-22, and another 1000 word essay on the book, Fahrenheit 451 by tomorrow!" Everyone in the class let out a chorus of moans and groans. Mr. Gunler grinned at all of them.

I yawned, careful to open my mouth very slightly only. "Boring!" I murmured so quietly that only Alice and Rosalie could hear. I had already read the books like, what? 50 times? College was too easy after the first time. This was going to be a breeze. I totally couldn't wait until lunch, which was next, so that I could really see him. Rumours had been flying around that there was a new boy, transferring from another college because supposedly, Vassar had been, "too easy" for him. Hmph. Arrogant little squirt, I'll bet.

I couldn't breathe. My dead heart ached like it was being ripped apart again. It was him. Edward had dared to come back from Alaska? What nerve. Of course, I could fight him off, now that I was a vampire, a newborn, and still very strong. But I knew I couldn't. For all he had done to me, I still loved him with all of my leftover, silent heart. But I hated him too. Hated him as much as I loved him.

By the gasps on either side of me, I correctly guessed that Rose and Alice had noticed Edward. Edward saw me too. His eyes widened when he saw me. I sent one death glare at him, fluffed my hair, then pretended to not notice him. I put a shield around Alice and Rose so Edward couldn't hear them. I told them my plan. I would make Edward totally jealous, by:

1. Becoming super pretty.

2. By getting a boyfriend, someone Edward doesn't want me to end up with. Jacob? Mike?

Alice clapped her hands excitedly and Rose brightened. Rose always wanted to take me shopping, and Alice was always, always, dying to do my hair and whatnot. I grinned, and was for once, thankful that Alice and Rose were such beauty freaks.

Revenge would be mine. I planned to knock him over with gorgeous-ness (A/N: is that even a word?) and make him sorry he didn't stay with me.

Vengeance was sweet.

Rose took me shopping at the mall right after class during our 4 hour freetime. She clapped excitedly as she got into her own element, browsing through Coach, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, and a dozen other designer stores. After about an hour, we had picked the perfect outfit.

I had decided to go for a casual pretty. I wore a white tee over a pair of hip-hugging dark-washed jeans. Yes, as you can probably realize, Rose picked my outfit, and I made her let me have the white T-shirt. I'm so proud of myself. When Rose and I got home, Alice did my hair. Sigh...She curled my hair in random areas, and my brown hair became soft, shiny, curly waves of chocolate brown hair that would've perfectly matched my human eyes. If only, if only. NOT.

I was really nervous. I made Alice style my hair at 6:00 in the morning. Alice then got Rose out from under her cashmere blankets, she had been reading the latest TeenVogue with Emma Watson. Rose grinned at me, her eyes sparkling with a devious glint.

"You should wear this, Bella!" she cried, holding up the magazine, with a picture of a girl in bronze tights under a poufy purple miniskirt with a gold top. I winced. "Kidding Bella!" crowed Rose. "You look sooo gorgeous right now, Bella! Edward will be blown away!" I smiled and thanked her. Rose wore a purple ruffled shirt and True Religion jeans in a light wash with Converse. Alice was dressed in Wanted blue striped shoes with white ripped Celebrity Pink Jeans and a blue tank top that matched the blue of Alice's shoes. I hoped they didn't look better than me. Since Alice and Rose were prettier, they had purposely dressed casually so I would get noticed more by everyone, but they still looked drop-dead gorgeous. Well, at least everyone was ready. Rose fluffed her hair again, checking for the hundreth time in the mirror. I grinned.

"Let's break some hearts," was all I said.

Always read the a/n, of course. THEY ARE IMPORTANT.

Okay, I know it was short, I promise to make a super long chapter as soon as I have the time. Since it's summer vacation, I'll try to update EVERY DAY. Great, huh? Yes, I'm not gonna beg for you to review, unlike some of the other authors. xD You're welcome. I'd enjoy a review though...just sayin'. xD

P.S. I love CONTRUCTIVE criticism. Just don't be too harsh, its my 1st fanfiction...
