Bella POV

The rest of the week pasted by slowly; with the dance coming up this Friday everyone was very excited. Tanya was going with Edward, and since Tuesday, Tanya, Irina and Jessica have been picking on me every chance they get. Alice and Rose have been begging me to come to the dance with them but I keep telling them that I don't want to go. Alice threatened me, and thinks I don't want to go because of Edward; which is kind of true. They want to find me a date to make Edward jealous but I can't dance and I don't want to make a fool of myself. And besides why would Edward get jealous of some guy. I'm just doing everyone a favour by not going.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the dance tonight Bella?" asked Alice for the one hundredth time.

"Yes, I'm sure," I replied.

"Okay... But you will tell us if you change your mind?"

"Yes, I promise."

"Okay... But remember it's not too late to change your mind."

"I know."

"Okay... Well I'll see you Monday, and remember call me if you change your mind."

"I know, see you Alice."

"Bye," and she left. I went home and pretty much did homework, watched TV all weekend and avoided all social media; I don't want to see any pictures from the dance. Alice and Rose texted me to see how I was doing, but other than that my weekend was pretty quiet.

When Monday morning came I was absolutely dreading school. Why can't I just stay home for the rest of my life and watch T.V or read a book all day? When I got to school I was a bit surprised to see Edward with Alice and the others.

"Hey Bella," said Edward cheerfully.

"Hey," I replied.

"Bella you missed a fantastic dance last Friday!" pouted Alice; I shrugged.

"It wasn't that fun," mumbled Edward.

"That's only because you went with Tanya," snapped Alice, Edward glared at her.

"It's not like anyone forced you to go with her," added Rose; the bell rang.

"Perfect timing," said Emmet and dragged Rose away, "see you later guys."

"I'll walk you to class Bella," said Edward. We walked in silence, I really had no idea what to say to him and he seemed unusually quiet. "I'll see you at lunch Bella."

"See you," and I went to my class. Lunch couldn't come soon enough, I was starving. I got my lunch and started heading over to our usual table when I collided with something and felt a wet substance hit me.

"Oops! I am such a klutz; I'm so sorry Bella," said Tanya, I knew she did this on purpose.

"You bitch, you did that on purpose," spat Rose standing from her seat.

"Rosy-" started Emmet grabbing her arm.

"No," said Rose cutting him off, "she did that on purpose to Bella."

"So what if I did, I don't even know why you guys hang out with her," sneered Tanya.

Edward rose from his seat, "you take that back Tanya."

"Oh please Edward I'm doing you a favour," sneered Tanya.

"No! Bella is ten times the person you will ever be!" Said Edward angrily.

"But Eddie-"

"Tanya don't call me that; I'm not your boyfriend, just stay away from me and stay the hell away from Bella."

"But I thought-"

"Maybe you should talk to me before you start making assumptions," said Edward. Tanya glared murderously at me and stormed off. "Bella are you okay?"

"Ya... I'm fine, it's not the first time she's said something to me," I said.

"What?!" Said Edward shocked, "Bella why didn't you tell me Tanya was bullying you?" I shrugged, he pulled me in to a hug, "don't listen to what Tanya says or anyone else; you're the most amazing girl I've ever met. Bella if I had known she was being rude to you I would of never go to the dance with her or even talked to her; heck I didn't even want to go with her anyway."

"Thanks Edward," I said as I pulled away from his embrace.

"The next time her or any other bitch does something to you tell me and I'll go beat her up!" said Rose furiously.

"What she said," said Alice.

"Thanks guys, but you guys don't need to go around beating people up for me," I said.

Rose rolled her eyes, "whatever you say Bella, now come on let's get you cleaned up." Luckily Tanya only got her drink on my shirt and I had a jacket in my locker I could wear.

For the rest of the day Edward was very protective of me; in gym class when ever Tanya or Jessica would get near me the teacher would call on them to go do something; I suspect Edward talked to her about it. After gym class the teacher held me back apologizing for not noticing earlier and asked if I was okay and promised to keep a better eye on them. I walked out of class and found Edward waiting for me.

"Hey there's going to be a small party this Friday at La Push... You don't have to come but if you want you can," he said sounding a bit hopeful.

"Um... Sure," I replied.

"Really?"

"Ya, I'll come," I said surprising myself. I'm not really sure why I said yes, but I have nothing to do and I owe Edward.

"Great," said Edward smiling.

The rest of the week past by pretty fast; Edward hadn't been hanging around anymore girls and I feel like were just back to the way we used to. He walks me to all my classes again and we're constantly goofing off together; I've missed this. But at the same time it's killing me, I like him and I can't tell him. I'm too much of a sissy to drop any hints and I have no experience in this department. Besides I finally have 5 good friends and I don't want to mess it up.

By the time Friday rolled around Alice was vibrating with excitement. "I can't believe you're actually coming!" squealed Alice.

"Don't make me change my mind," I teased.

Alice stuck her tongue out at me, "you're coming over after school right?" She asked.

"Yes Alice," I replied.

"Good," the bell rang, signalling the end of lunch, "I'll see you after school."

"Ready for the lab today?" asked Edward, I shrugged. "Come on." The lab actually turned out to be not that bad, Edward ended up playing with the frog rather than cutting it, and we ended up goofing off for most of the class, but eventually I got him too corporate and we finished just before the bell. Gym was boring and I didn't have any incidents with Tanya or anyone else. When the bell rang I went to the parking lot to meet Alice and everyone else. We just decided to meet at the Cullen's house. I started off towards my truck when I felt someone grab my hand.

"Where are you going?" asked Edward.

"To my- ..." I blushed, "I forgot you drove me to school today."

Edward laughed, "I noticed that, come on." I got in to his car and we drove off.

"Edward where are we going?" I asked after a few minutes of driving. He shrugged, "Edward!"

"What?" He asked innocently.

"Alice is going to kill you if we're late for that party."

"So what? Besides we haven't had any time alone for a while."

"You came over on Wednesday and we watched movies together."

"That was two days ago," whined Edward.

"...whatever it will be your fault when Alice comes to murder us."

Edward laughed, "don't worry, I'll protect you from my sister."

"I don't think anyone can stop Alice once she's set on doing something..."

"I have my ways to deal with her; after all I am her twin."

"True..."

"...remember the day we first met?" He asked.

"You almost got me arrested by my own dad."

He laughed, "I'm sorry about that; but it's probably one of the best days my life. You were so cute too, so shy and lost. I'm glad Emmet was sick that day."

I blushed, "...me too."

When we got to the house, Alice was furious, and dragged me upstairs before I could say another word.

"Where were you," asked Alice once we got to her room.

"Edward decided to take a detour," I replied.

She huffed, "I'll deal with him later, right now, we're busy with you."

"Alice I'm not changing my clothes," I said sternly.

Alice pouted, "Fine but we get to do your hair and make-up."

"Why?" I asked.

"To show Edward what he's missing out on," stated Rose, I blushed and the girls giggled. I don't think any amount of product would make Edward see me more than just his friend.

When she was done it was already 5 and Alice was freaking out.

"Alice it's just a party clam down," said Emmet.

"No I will not calm down! Emmet, Rose you two will be driving with me and Jasper, Edward you and Bella will take your car. And if you get side tracked again I swear to god-"

"Alright let's go everybody!" said Jasper. We got in to our cars and drove off.

"You're not going to kidnap me again are you?" I asked.

"No, Alice would freak out even more..."

"Oh ya I have to be home at 11..."

"I'll drive you."

"If you end up drinking I'll be driving."

"Okay I promise I won't drink so I can drive you home safely."

"Thanks."

"No problem, I don't want you driving with other people... I'll worry about you." I nodded unsure of what to say.

When we arrived to the party it was already 5:30. They had a big fire going and people were making hotdogs.

"You guys finally made it!" said Tyler.

"Blame Alice," said Edward; Alice hit him.

We sat down by the fire and I had a hotdog, after about an hour people started to drift off and some people were playing football on the beach. Edward, Emmet and Jasper went to join them.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" asked Alice.

"Ya..."

"Good... That boy over there keeps staring at you," she whispered.

I blushed, "what boy?"

"The one in the black jacket with the dark blue hat." I looked for someone in that description, I saw him; he's Native American, long dark hair, he looks young but he could pass as an older guy. "Should I go introduce you two?"

"No that's not necessary Alice."

"You sure?"

"Yes Alice,"

"Okay, hey let's go watch the boys."

"Sure," we watched the boys play for about an hour; well I mostly just drooled over Edward. Alice and Rose cheered for the boys while I just sort of sat there, Edward would glance my way occasionally giving me some goofy grin. Once it got darker out they gave up.

I saw Edward run over to me, "want to go on a walk?" He asked.

"Sure," we walked for a bit, I stumbled a few times and he grabbed my hand claiming it was for safety reasons. We stopped at a log and sat down, I could still hear the party but we were quite far away that we could have some privacy. We made some small talk and then goofed around a bit. We sat there still the sun went down.

"I've never watched a sun set before," said Edward.

"Me either..." I replied.

"I'm glad I met you," I smirked, "no I'm serious..." I blushed, "I've said it before but I mean it, I really do..." He traced his hand over my cheek and brushed away a loose strand of hair; I felt my heart race as he slowly leaned in to me.

"Hey Edward are you over there?!" Called a voice; we jumped apart.

"Uh y-ya I'm over h-here!" called back Edward.

"What are doing out there its dark out! Come over here!"

Edward sighed, "We should go," and grabbed my hand. When we got back to the fire with everyone else Edward dropped my hand and went over to talk to some girl; I think it's the same one that was calling him.

"Bella there you are; we were starting to get worried," said Alice.

"I was with Edward..." I replied.

"Oh?" said Rose raising an eyebrow.

I blushed, "we were just talking," I said.

Alice playfully glared at me, "we will talk about it later." After a bit people started to go in to their own little groups and I ended up sitting alone by the fire until from the corner of my eye I saw someone sit next to me.

"It's a great night tonight isn't it," said the boy Alice said was staring at me earlier.

"Ya..." I replied.

"I'm Jacob by the way."

"Bella," I mumbled.

"Are you Chief Swan's daughter?" I nodded, "oh cool, my dad and your dad are good friends... We'll probably be seeing each quite often."

"Oh cool," I caught Edwards's eye and he started to walk over but I shook my head trying to tell him that I was fine.

"Is that your boyfriend?" asked Jacob nervously.

"Um no he's a friend."

"Oh... so how are you enjoying Forks?"

"It's good..."

"Ya, that's good," we ended up talking for some time, Jacob seems like a nice guy but I'm still quite shy around him, but he's easy going and easy to talk to.

"Hey Bella, its 10:30 we should probably get going," said Edward.

"Okay, well it was nice meeting you Jacob," I said.

"Ya you too, I'll see you around?" asked Jacob hopefully.

"Uh, ya," I gave a small wave and left with Edward.

"Who was that?" asked Edward.

"That was Jacob, his dad is a friend of my dad's."

"Oh..." Edward was unusually quiet on the drive to my place. He seemed lost in thought. When we arrived at my place it was 10:56, I was about to get out when Edward stopped me.

"That Jacob guy... Do you like him?" He asked.

"Ya... He seems nice," I said blushing a bit.

Edward nodded, "well see you Monday," he said sounding slightly annoyed.

"See you..." I said a bit confused. I got out of his car and went to the front door. When I turned around I saw his car speed off in to the night; what's gotten in to him?

Hmmmm... I wonder what's got Edward upset? ;) leave a review and I'll be posting on Wednesday! :D
