"Who are they," I whispered. Angela turned to see who I was talking about.

"I don't know," she answered. "We'll find out soon though." I watched the one with the bronze hair the most. He seemed to be the only one that wasn't dating though. I knew that I wouldn't even be able to date him, but it would be good to get to know more people. Who am I kidding? I wouldn't be able to know anyone besides Angela. I only saw her at school. I was invisible to everyone else besides her.

"Let's go," I stated. We started walking towards our class. We were lucky that we had four out of six classes together. I was glad that I didn't have to be around other people.

Suddenly, I felt someone staring at my back for some reason. When I turned, it was the bronze haired guy staring at me. I just stared back at him.

"What are you staring at," Angela questioned as we walked into the school. I was still staring at the boy. I turned back and walked into the school.

"Nothing," I whispered. She just shrugged it off. We entered our English class. It was my favorite class of the day. I also loved that we were reading Romeo and Juliet right now. It was such a beautiful story to read, but I couldn't wait to get to read Withering Heights. That was my favorite book of all time. I was sad when I couldn't read it at home unless it was homework.

"Okay class," Mr. Varner said as he walked into class. "We have a new student in the class. Alice?" We all looked back to see a tiny girl stand up. She looked like a pixie, but that was my opinion.

"Hello, I'm Alice Cullen. I just moved from New Hampshire with my friends and family. I'm dating Jasper Hale, and I can't wait to be friends with anyone who wants to be my friend." She glanced at me in the end, and it seemed like she could see into my soul. I had to turn away from her.

"Is the makeup working," I whispered. Angela nodded. I didn't want anyone to see it, especially the new girl. I suppose she would have drawn attention to it if she saw the bruises though. I'm just happy that no one has noticed anything for the years that I started to get abused. I remember the first time Angela saw them. We stole her mother's makeup to hide it, and now she has her own makeup to do it. I'm glad that she's the only one to know about it. I probably couldn't go through any of this if it wasn't for her. She was the person that made me able to be stable. I don't know what I would have done if I never had her at my side really. I might have died from suicide if it wasn't for her.

I must have zoned out because the next thing I knew, the bell rang. I sighed and packed up my stuff. Angela waited next to me because we had the same next hour.

"Did we have any homework in English," I questioned Angela as we went to our next class.

"Zoned out again, Bella," she smirked. I just blushed. I blushed so often though. "No, we didn't have any homework. You probably would have finished it with ease though. How many times have you read that book?"

"Only twice," I answered.

"What do you think about the dance that's coming up," she questioned.

"I wouldn't be able to go, Angela, so don't even start talking about it," I replied.

"I wish Ben would ask me to the dance," she sighed. Ben Crowley, her crush. She would think about him twenty-four seven if she could. She was so in love with him, and he didn't even know it. I knew that Ben had a crush with Angela, but every time I tried to talk to him, he would just walk away. Maybe I'll get the chance before the dance. It might involve a lot of jealousy though.

We walked into class, and there was Ben Crowley already at his seat. This was one of the two classes that Ben and Angela had together, but I was the one to be sitting by him. This may be my only chance to talk to him.

I took my seat, and Ben scooted away from me. It was understandable that he would do so. It was one of the reasons that I believed that Ben had a crush on Angela. Everyone knew that if you messed with one of us, you messed with both of us. It didn't take long to get it in their heads that it would happen. One day, Lauren Mallory decided to pick on me during sophomore year, and Angela stuck up for me by beating her up off of school grounds. No one tried to mess with me again. I didn't know about Angela doing it until a week later though. I wasn't the happiest person about it, but I was grateful.

I looked at Ben, and I greeted him. "Hey, Ben."

"Hi," he whispered, looking away from me.

"I know that you like Angela," I stated. He stiffened.

"No I don't," he stampered. He has a major crush on her.

"Angela likes you too," I whispered. I saw his eyes gleam with delight and hope.

"Really," he questioned. I nodded.

"You should ask her to the dance," I informed him.

"I doubt that she would want to go," he sighed.

"She just told me today that she wanted you to ask her to go," I stated. I was just hoping that he was going to be able to get the message.

"I'll do that," he stated. "Thanks Bella."

"No problem," I whispered. Soon the bell rang. I can't believe that I talked to him throughout the whole class. Ben left the classroom immediately. I was hoping that would change soon though.

"So what was that all about," Angela questioned as we walked out of the classroom together.

"You'll see," I said simply as I headed off into the cafeteria. We got our lunch and headed to our usual table. I was glad that no one sat there but us. It was nice to have some privacy in this chaos. That was soon interrupted though.

"Can we sit here," a voice I've heard before asked.
