A/N- still don't own Twilight. snaps fingers diappointed

I wrote two different versions of this chapter, but I'm pretty sure I like this one better.

After I left the girls' bathroom, I walked directly to the Cullens' table. I wasn't worried about food, if I wanted any I would just take Edward's. As if he ate anyway. When I reached my destination, I bent down and whispered in Edward's ear, "Alice tells me that you can break my barrier."

"Well, yes, but no at the same time," he looked up at me; I had turned my impression to look guilty and scared.

I took a seat next to him, "Edward, what did you hear when you were listening to my thoughts?" I asked, trying to fake someone faking innocence.

Edward gave me a look of shock, "Bella, I…I heard you think…about Jasper, and then…something about orally…but I didn't know what to think," he stuttered

"Can you break the barrier right now, Edward? I want you to do it, listen to what I have to say, okay?" I asked.

"Of course, anything for you," he said. This was going to be fun. I let the mischievous smile play across my lips. I watched his face turn to a look of concentration.

I was in shock when Bella actually asked me to break her barrier. Why would anyone want someone else in their head, not hiding anything? Nevertheless, I was afraid at what things might be waiting for me in Bella's mind. I focused all my attention on her, and eventually broke through:

HOW COULD YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT I WAS IN LOVE WITH JASPER? WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU JUMP TO THAT CONCLUSION? THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GOING ON EDWARD! YOU ARE TOO PARANOID FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!

Her mental screaming made me wince. I rubbed my head as the screeching came to an abrupt halt. I felt so stupid.

I watched Edward rub his head, knowing that I had gotten through to him. I picked up his slice of pizza and started eating it, "I should make you eat this," I said, and then I smiled, "I wouldn't, though, since I wouldn't want you to make me eat dirt," with that, I got up and left, I would see Edward in biology, where I would get more specific with my explanations. I sat with Angela and Ben, who had nothing particularly interesting going on. I pretended to listen as I waited for the bell to ring.

Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and I watched as Bella whispered in Edward's ear, and then stared intently at him as he concentrated on her. I watched with curiosity as Edward winced and rubbed his head. I chuckled to myself. Go Bella! I thought. Edward shot me a death glare. We filled the rest of lunch pestering Edward to find out what Bella said.

"This doesn't concern any of you," he would answer when we asked.

"Come on, you know we're gonna find out sooner or later," one of us would say.

"Let's hope it's later," he would reply.

The banter continued until the bell rang, and Edward rushed to biology, much faster than he should have, given the fact that there were humans everywhere. Bella had made my day. At random times I would crack up when I looked into their future, and once I got sent to the office. (Apparently giggling in health class when they're having a discussion about hormones isn't a good idea).

I knew I was walking too fast to biology, but I didn't care. I needed my explanation. I found my seat and waited for Bella. After what seemed like an eternity, she walked through the door with none other than Mike Newton. Vile Mike Newton. She left him and took her seat next to me.

I smiled my crooked smile for her, "I'm ready for that explanation, now," I whispered in her ear. I could feel the heat from her blush.

"I'm not so sure you deserve one, picking my mind like that," she turned and smiled at me.

"Please, Bella?" I pleaded. I hoped she would give in easily.

"Make me one promise," she finally said.

"Anything for you, love," I said

She grinned wildly. What had I gotten myself into?

A/N I just want to say a quick thank you to anyone who has reviewed my story so far. You guys rock! :D
