Quiet Girl Chapter 4

Hey guys I'm so sorry for the late update! I meant to update yesterday but I completely forgot! And thank you so much to all of you who have reviewed, favourited, and followed! I have all my chapters ready to post I just have to post them... Anyway on with the story :)

I don't own Twilight or Facebook.

Bella POV

"So I hear Mike keeps asking you out," said Edward casually as we walk towards school.

"Uh, ya he has," I replied.

"Do you want to go out with him?" I shook my head. "Does he bother you?"

"A bit."

"The next time he asks you out tell me, I'll make sure he doesn't bother you again."

"Edward!?"

"What?" He asked innocently.

"You were there when he asked me out the first time."

"Ya but I didn't think he ask you out again."

"Well he did."

Edward sighed, "Mikes very persistent and he gets very attached to girls, he doesn't usually leave them alone for a while and follows them around like some love sick puppy. And besides you deserve someone better than Mike," I blushed and nodded in response not knowing what to say. "And I don't want him to make you uncomfortable," Edward added.

"Edward!" I looked over my shoulder and saw Jessica calling Edward over.

"I'll see you lunch Bella," he gave my hand a squeeze and went over to Jessica; I sighed and walked to class. Edward only spent half of lunch with us and then was ten minutes late to biology. I saw him briefly after school and then went home. I didn't sleep well that night, all I could think of was Edward; I felt pathetic. I'm just this plain, boring girl who has a crush on her friend who will only ever see me as his friend.

I woke the next morning tired; thank goodness it's Friday. School went by slowly, Edward walked me to all my classes and held my hand as we walked around, he even carried my books. I don't know why I let him do this stuff; shouldn't he be with Jessica? Half the school was buzzing with excitement for the party tonight. I didn't see Edward after school, I figured it had something to do with the party, so I went home and sent Edward a quick text just in case I had missed him. As I was driving out of the lot, I saw Edward and Jessica in a heated discussion, I looked away focusing back on the road.

When I got home, Edward had texted me asking to call him; I dialled his number and he answered on the second ring.

"Hey Bella!" said Edward enthusiastically.

"Hey, what did you want to ask me?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you."

"Oh…Edward I know it's none of my business but are you and Jessica okay?"

"Um... She's kind of mad at me."

"Did you guys break up?"

"No, we were never dating in the first place. She wants to but I'm not interested her. Why do you ask?"

"You're my friend and I wanted to make sure that you're okay."

"We'll I'm fine, thanks for asking. So are you sure you don't want to come out tonight?"

"Ya I'm sure..." I saw Charlie pull up the driveway, "I have to go, my dad's home."

"Okay, I'll talk to you later Bella."

"Bye," and I hanged up my phone. I went downstairs and started doing my chores around the house, and then went back to my bedroom and started to read. Two hours later Charlie had dinner ready; I ate and we talked and then after I excused myself to get a head start on my homework.

I took a break from my homework and decided to look on Facebook. I saw a few photos of the party and looked through some. It was just a bunch of people hanging out around the fire drinking... And I guess Jessica had moved on to Mike... I saw a photo of Edward with his arm around Tanya and quickly put my phone away and went back to my homework. After a few more minutes I gave up again; I shouldn't let that photo bother me, Edward is my friend.

Edward POV

The party on Friday was fun; but I couldn't stop thinking about Bella. She's all I ever think about, I can't help it. I find myself day dreaming about her and I'm distracted. At the party I didn't have the energy to push Tanya off me and now two days later she won't stop texting me. I decided to ignore her and text her back later. I'll just tell her I fell asleep or something.

"Are you going to ask Bella out or am I going to have to do it for you?!" asked Alice as she barged in to my room.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Bella? Hello! Don't you like her?"

"...she likes me as a friend... Nothing more," I replied sadly.

"Of course she does! It's because you didn't ask her out sooner and now you guys are in the friend zone, and you both want out but neither of you will do anything about it!"

"Calm down Alice."

"No! And stop hanging out with Jessica and Tanya!" with that she left my room.

Bella POV

When I got to school I walked over to Alice and Rosalie, holding a flyer in their hands. "What's that?" I asked curiously.

"There's a school dance this Friday!" squealed Alice.

"Yay!" I replied with fake enthusiasm.

"Oh come on Bella it will be fun!" said Rose, "maybe you and Edward could go together."

"I don't think so, I don't do dances," I said.

"But it would be so much fun!" pouted Alice.

"I don't really like them..." I replied.

"You say that now," said Rose. The bell rang, "I'll see guys later."

Alice playfully glared at me, "I will get you to go to at least one dance. Anyway I'll see you at lunch Bella!" And she went off to class. I went to my locker to get my textbooks when I heard my name.

"Hey Bella!" I looked over and saw Mike headed towards me.

"Oh, hey Mike," I replied.

"So... There's a dance coming up... Do you want to go with me?"

"Um, no thanks Mike."

"Ah come on Bella, it will be fun."

"I don't think I'm going anyway. Besides I think Jessica would love to go with you."

"Ya... Whatever I'll see you around Bella." I stared at Mike's retreating figure and went to class. My morning classes were boring as usual. I'm glad I have first block with Angela, I'd die of boredom if I didn't have her to talk to. At first I was a bit shy with her but we're talking to each other more and more each day. Jessica glared at me all block, I'm not sure what I've done to her but Angela keeps telling me to ignore her.

Class finally ended and I headed towards the cafeteria. I went to my usual table and saw everyone already there except Edward. "Where's Edward?" I asked not really wanting to know the answer; maybe he's with Tanya.

"He's in the principal's office right now..." said Jasper.

"What's happened?" I asked.

"Edward got in a fight with Mike," said Alice.

"Is he alright?!" I asked.

"Yes, its Mike people should be concerned about, Edward beat the crap out of him," exclaimed Emmet.

"Why did he do that?!" I asked.

"...you better ask Edward about that," said Rose. Lunch went by slowly, I didn't say much after that all lunch hour, I kept looking around for Edward but I didn't see him. He didn't show up for biology ether; I was starting to get worried. My afternoon classes also went by slowly, all I could think was Edward. Mike wasn't in gym class ether.

When the bell rang, I quickly left class and went off to find Edward. I saw him in the parking lot and ran over to him, "Edward! Are you okay?" He turned around and looked at me, I gasped; he had a busted lip and a black eye.

"Ya I'm fine," he replied.

"You don't look fine."

"I'm fine."

I glared at him, "why did you hit Mike."

"...He...," Edward sighed, "he was talking about you... in a not very nice way... I snapped and we got in a fight."

"...Edward you didn't have to do that," I felt a bit hurt that Mike would say bad things about me, but I don't want Edward getting in trouble for me.

"Yes I did, he shouldn't be saying things about you."

"Please don't do something like this again"

"...I promise."

I hugged him, "thank you. You didn't get in to much trouble did you?"

"No... I explained what happened and got off with a warning," he replied.

"That's good..."

"Come on I'll walk you to your truck."

I got home and collapsed on my bed. I can't stop thinking about Edward; I've never felt this way about a guy. I know I shouldn't like Edward but I can't help it anymore. He's nice, funny, caring, and let's not forget good looking. But of course he's my friend and I'm nothing more than his friend. I should stop thinking about it, it's not healthy to mope around about someone who will never return my feelings for them. I started doing my chores to try and distract myself but it only kept my hands busy, my mind just kept drifting back to Edward. But I guess it doesn't help that he keeps texting me.

"Bella I'm home," called out Charlie.

"Hey dad, I was just finishing up the dishes.

"Oh, well I hope you don't mind but I got pizza tonight."

"That's fine." We ate dinner in silence; Charlie seemed a bit distract, it must be the big case he's been working on. After eating I excused myself and went upstairs to do homework and after two hours I went to bed. I woke up and went to school, Edwards face was still pretty bad and he spent the whole day with me, and was a bit grumpy. But other than that the day was just like any other day, except for gym.

"Oh look here comes Edward's reject," sneered Irina. I blushed and looked away from them; they laughed.

"Edward was telling me last night how much you annoy him," said Tanya. "Why don't you just leave the poor guy alone? He's mine, and don't even think about going to the dance with him. And don't bother finding someone else to be your date, no one would want to go out with some shy, plain, boring girl like you."

Irina laughed, "Even Mike doesn't like her," and the two girls walked away laughing. I stood there looking at my shoes trying my headrest not to cry. I quickly got changed and tried to focus on the teacher but they kept teasing me the whole class. After gym I quickly got changed and almost ran to my truck. I drove home and walked in to my bedroom and curled up in a ball and let the tears fall that I've been holding back. Tanya is right; why would anyone want to be with a girl like me?

Well there it is! I'll post chapter 5 on Sunday, I hoped you guys liked it and don't forget to leave a review!
