Chapter Three

- One Year Later -

Alice.

It's been over a year since that fight in the hall. I tried not to chose a side. But by not choosing it cost me both my friends in a way. I havent spoken to Bella properly in a long time. She used to smile at me if we passed in hall, sometimes she'd even wave but not know. The reason, my boyfriend Jasper Cullen. By going out with one of the Cullens i was now spending time with Rose again since her and Emmett Cullen had been together a year last september. They were perfect together. Rose, the head cheerleader and Emmett, the star Quarterback. Everytime they shared a look you could just see the love and devotion in their eyes. Rose had been right all those months ago; Emmett Cullen was most certainly her 'the one' and now i had mine too, Jasper had asked me to be his girlfriend a few months ago he'd came and found me in the art room after school.

I move the 2b pencil i'm using away from the paper and then lean back in my chair to admire the design that had been sitting in my head for ages. It was a design for a dress. I was beautiful and unique and mine. I was going to make this. Now that i could see the design properly i knew i had to make it. I hear a knock on the door and look up to find Jasper Cullen leaning against the wooden frame. My hearts starts to hammer agaisnt my ribcage. The very first time i set eyes on Jasper, it was like i knew he was the one for me and every time i saw him after that day, the feeling that we were meant to be, that we were soulmates, just kept on growing becoming more sure in my heart than anything i'd ever known before. Recently we'd started flirting giving me a reason to hope that he had come here today to ask me on a date.
"Can i come in?" He asks lingering in the doorway
"Sure" I say trying to remain calm and not shout 'I love you!' at him too prematurally. I lean back over my stetch and start to label parts of the drawing, listing the types and colours of the fabric im going to need to puchurse. I feel Jasper come up behind me but i dont move. I keep on scribbling labels until he decides to speak to me.
"Alice?"
My hand pauses and I swivel around on the stall,
"Yes?"
He looks suddenly nervous and gulps
"Will..will you.." he takes a deep breath before hurriedly saying "willyoubemygirlfriend?"
I wasn't expecting that! A date maybe but girlfriend!
"What did you just say?"
Its like all my dreams have come true at once when he takes another breath and says clearly this time.
"Alice, Will you be my girlfriend?"
I'm practically bouncing up and down on my stall now.
"Yes please!"
He laughs and i realise how pathetic the 'please' must have sounded. I mentally kick myself for allowing myself to cock this up already. His laughter ceases and his face turns nervous again. He leans in towards me and i know whats coming next, even if i wasnt expecting him to ask permission
"Can i kiss you?"
My heart speeds up and i swear you can hear it pounding as i nod to him. Our lips meet and its simply magic. My first kiss with Jasper Cullen. I'd dreamed this up many times but never had i pictured it quite like this. It's perfection exactly how a first kiss should and more. I know more than ever as he pulls away from me that he's the one! Jasper Cullen is my soul mate.


I watch out my window as Jasper pulls up outside my house like he does every morning. I grab my bag off my bed and practically dance down the stairs. I sit on the bottom step, pull on my shoes and pick up my baby pink sparkly helmet. I yell goodbye to mom as I throw open the door. I'm halfway down across the drive before i hear mom shout
"Bye Alice"
I smile as i approach him. Jasper reaches up and yanks off his metalic blue helmet as I stand on my tiptoes. We kiss and he helps me up onto the bike. I hate this thing! but Jas loves it so i tolerate it! For now anyway.
"Good morning" I say to him before shoving my helmet down over my head trying not to grimace at the thought of what its doing my hair.
"It is now your here" he tells me making my smile boarden. I wrap my arms tight around his chest and after replacing his helmet he revs the bikes engine and takes off down the street. I cling onto him as we sped down the road towards our school. Jasper slows down as we pull into the lot. He parks up next to the off road jeep that i know belongs to Emmett. Jasper dismounts the bike and places his hands gently on my waist to help me down. Jas pulls me flush agaisnt him, he leans down and I rise up onto my tiptoes again. Our lips brush just as Rose squeals
"Alice?!"
My whole body sags in disappointment as does Jasper's. I sigh and turn around to face Rose and of course Emmett. They're always together, always.
"Sorry dude, We intrupting?"
"Duh!" I sigh annoyed. We never, well mostly never, interupt them. We only do when it goes beyond PG-13. Rose smirks and grabs my arm.
"Guess what!?" Rose squeals again and this time louder.
"What?" I ask slightly annoyed. I mean come on, I wanted that kiss!
"My moms gonna be gone for the whole weekend and is taking my brothers wiht her. And guess what that mean..." Her smile tightens and he sways.
"Erm...." It's as if a light bulb switchs on in my head. "House party!" I scream, causing a group of freshmen to look up.
"Yeah! I was thinking we could invite the art people, cheer squad, jocks, baseball team and their girlfriends." She says practcally boucing. "Oh and it's tonight at seven. Invite everyone." Yes this means I can invite Bella! Speaking of Bella she walks past us a little too close for Rose's liking. Rose sticks out her foot and Bella goes flying. I'm not close enough to catch her but her admirer does, the other single Mr. Cullen. Those two will be together one day soon, i just have this feeling. Bella mutters something, probably saying thank you and then hurries off.

Rose snickers at her departing back, shots a glare at Edward before turning to me.
"And that is not invited!"
Well there goes any hope of inviting Bella. Anyway decorations. We're going to need decorations, food, drink and outfits.
"Ok so what we gonna do about food, drinks, clothes?" I list and her previously sour look turns into an award winning smile as she says
"Shopping after school?"
I nod and with that she drags emmett off towards the school building. I turn to face Jas and plaster a hopefully seductive smile on my face
"So where were we?"
I reach up and he leans down. Our lips are almost touching when the bell sounds across the parking lot. Jasper mutters a few choice curse words in response to another interuption. I laugh, grab his hand and him as he sulks across the parking lot saying
"Dont wanna be late now, do we?"

Bella.

In a year my life had changed so much. I was no longer friends with Rose and more recently with Alice. I had only one good friend now and that was Angela Webber. She's currently sitting beside me as i drive my black vauhall corsa into the school parking lot. I tried not to scowl as we drove past rose and alice jumping up and down hugging each other. As i park up my phone buzzes in my pocket. I turn the key and the engine cuts out. I awkardly pull my phone out of my pocket, 'one new message' the screen reads. I open it and smile, its from the one person i want it to be from.

Music room. 5 mins.

x

My smile widens as i read his simple little instruction. I turn to angela and my smile turns sympathetic. She sighs and says

"Oh just go already. I'm sure i can manage a few minutes without you."

I hug her and say into her ear

"Your awesome"

She hugs me back saying

"I know. Now go."

I giggle and walk hurriedly across the parking lot. I can't run through fear of tripping over my own feet. Unfortunately for me its not my own foot that trips my. Rose sticks her foot out as i scurry past. Luckily, i dont fall flat on my face. A strong hand grabs hold of me and stops me smacking into the concrete. Edward Cullen pulls me up and sets me on my feet like he did the first time i met him. I mutter a quick thanks, smile and hurry off towards the music room.

I gently push open the door and of course the room is empty apart from the instruments. I go over to the grand piano and sit myself down on its bench. It look down at my phone that is still in my hand and am re-reading the text message when the door opens.

"Your late" i scold as he walks slowly towards me. The heart stopping grin that im accustom to appears on his face as he says

"Well this cute clumsy girl tripped over in the parking lot and i promised her i'd always be the one to catch her when she falls."

I raise my eyebrows at him playing along,

"Cute?" I question, he crouchs done in front of me and says

"Maybe cute was the wrong word, How about" He leans up and plants kisses on my forehead, nose and chin between words

"Beautiful" chin "Gorgeous" nose "Stunning" forehead

I feel the blush creaping onto my face as his soft lips press down agaisnt my skin and he compliments me.

"And most importantly" he rises to his knees and places his hands on either side of my face, looks straight into my eyes "All mine"

I nod once and he leans in to press his lips down onto mine. The bell rings and we both groan. Edward pulls back from me and sighs.

"This is getting stupid." He mutters angrily. I go to get up from the bench, I hate being late, but he stops me. He grabs my hand and holds it in his looking up at me, his eyes pleading.

"Bella we need to stop hiding. I dont think i can last another day with 'us' being a secret. You told me last week you loved me and i told you the same. Please Bella, I want people to know that i love you."

I shook my head

"Edward, im not popular. If you tell everyone, your friends, then they'll disown you."

"If they disown me for being in love with you Bella, then good ridance to the lot of them. I would much rather sit beside you love, while you and Angela talk about Withering Heights than have to sit across the room away from you longing to be by your side. I will quite happily risk my high school status to be with you Bella." He kisses me again and i feel myself preparing to cave.

I didn't want everyone to know about 'us'. We'd managed to hide our relationship for almost two months, so why tell everyone now? When telling had the potential to tear us apart.

"Not now, please. Not today." a heartbreakingly hopeless look appears on his face and with it i cave

"Monday. You can tell everyone monday just not today"

He beams at me and hugs me tight, whispering a thank you in my ear. I gulp nervously at the thought of telling everyone. So far only two people know about 'us' and they are Angela and Edward's brother Jasper, he hadn't told Emmett because of Rose. Emmett wouldnt keep a secret from Rose and if Rose knew gossip the whole school knew it especially when it was about me. Jasper had promised to keep our secret though, including from Alice. He hated keeping things from her but it isnt his secret to tell.

"Edward, we're gonna be late. We need to go." I grab his hands and rise from the bench pulling him up to stand with me. I walk away taking him with me at the door he wraps his arms around me before i can open it.

"No your not going!"

I giggle and wriggle to escape his hold. I hate being late. Really hate it though i do love Edward, alot. Being late because him well that i can handle. Too an extent.

"We have to go!" I complain and struggle futher.

"Can i see you tomorrow?" he asks

I nod and say "Mum and Dad won't be in, their going away for the weekend. You wont have to sneak you in this time." I smile and he lets go, satisified that we will see each other soon.

"I love you" i say before i reach up to peck him on the lips. He says he love me as i slip out the door. He'll wait a minute or two before he leaves as he normally does.

Monday will be difficult for both of us. Him more so than me. I'm dreading it now and part of me hopes that monday will never come. I know it will though i'm not that stupid. Suprisingly im only five minutes late for class. The teacher raises his eyebrows at me in a reprimanding fashion.

"Sorry Sir, er girl problems." I say a bit too loudly, the whole class apart from Angela laughs. My excuse works though and looking thoroughly uncomfortable the teacher waves me off to my seat. I sit down beside Angela and pull my books out of my bag. She sends me a questioning look and taps her watch. I grab my pen flip open the notebook and scribble

'Wouldn't let me leave'

Angela grabs he pen and writes underneath

'Awww hes so sweet'

'I know, love him so much.'

Our note conversation ends there and its only as were driving home that we talk about Edward again but Angela doesnt bring him up this time, I do.

"Angela?" i ask as we pull up outside her house, she turns to me

"Yeah?"

"Do you think i should, you know, with Edward?"

She looks at me seriously

"Do you feel ready?"

I nod even if i am a little unsure about how i feel.

"And you love him?"

Now that i am certain about, "Without a doubt."

She opens her door and says

"If you feel ready and you love him then why not?"

I nod as she climbs out of my car closing the door with a gentle snap of the lock. I start the engine up again once shes out. She leans down and speaks through the open window just before i drive away.

"Oh and Bella?"

I turn to her this time

"Be ready." she smiles, turns and walks up her front path.

I spend the rest of the short drive thinking, about monday, about tomorrow, about today. I pull up onto my driveway and notice as i climb out my car what looks like most of the popular crowd going into Rose's house. Guess shes having a party, humm wonder what dad would think of that?

Rose.

The past year has gone by so quickly. I'm the head cheerleader and I have the best most adorable boyfriend; Emmett Cullen. I haven't spoken to Bella since the fight and I don't plan on doing so anytime soon. Me and Alice are still friends though mainly because of her boyfriend. Jasper Cullen, Emmett's adopted brother, is the reason we're currently in the stages of becoming BFF's again.

Right now people are starting to arrive at my house for the party. Mom has gone away for the weekend, taking my twin brothers with her, which means the perfect time for a party. Of course she knows I'm throwing it, in fact she suggested it. God i love my mum!

"Hey baby, you're looking hot tonight." Emmett whispers in my ear. a shiver runs through me at the combination of his words and his warm breath on my skin. Every time he's near me it just sets of the most insane yet amazing reactions inside me. I'm so I love with Emmett, its just impossible to describe how much. There a isnt a word in the english language that could some up my love for him.

"I know and thanks. Though I'm sure you'd prefer it on the floor." I say smirking. He frowns.

"If you keep doing that I might take you up on that offer." He kisses me passionately.

"Hey! Keep it PG-13!" Jess screams over the music. Everyone around us laughs, but I silence them with a glare. Jess is so gonna get it Monday. Or right now.

"Yeah like you kept it with Lauren!" I shout back. Everyone in ear shot laughed loudly. Jess went as red as she could go. Lauren had come onto Jess at our last party. It had been hilarous!

The music is so loud the house is practically vibrating. I turn to where Mike Newton is the DJ, I storm over and scream, "Keep it down! Thats was the rule, Newton!" I had given him a list of rules about the music and he obviously completely ignored them.

"What?!" He yells over the music.

As I go to say something I spot a man in a uniform, a man i recognise . It's Bella's dad Chief Swan. I pull the plug to the music, It dies and everyone to groans.

"Rosalie, this music is unacceptable!" I nod. "Therefore party over!" He shouts and everyone scowls. "You have one minute to disperse or I start arresting you all for underage drinking!" I have never seen a house clear this quickly before.

"I'll be having words with your mother" Chief Swan says before turning around and leaving my party wrecked house.

The guys and Alice stay behind to help clean up and hours later the house is spotless. Well, that was a good party, until it got shut down. My luck huh?

But I told everyone that was living around me about the party. So how did the Charlie know? He lives way across the street and I'd told Renee that we would try to keep the noise down. She'd said not to worry as Charlie was working tonight. I'd cover everything, so how did I get shut down?

Then again the one person who knew and the one person I didn't invite is my enemy. Bella ratted me out! The bitch!
"Oh Swan you are so gonna regret this!"
