Here is the next chapter for you all.

As always I don't own twilight. I would like to give a shout out to for giving me my idea for this chapter.

Chapter 4 – Friends

BPOV

3 weeks later

After spending the night alone yet again I found that I had fallen asleep on the couch, but what had woke me up was not my faint alarm clock that was beeping like crazy from my room. But the wave of sickness that has been plaguing me for a while now. I think I might be coming down with some sort of tropical illness. Wait what if Jake has given me something….. no Jake was a virgin as well. So tropical illness is far more likely. I would have laughed if I was not racing to the bathroom to make friends with the toilet yet again.

I looked at my clock after leaving the bathroom, good god I only have 45 minutes to get ready for class. So another day stood with my hands on my hips looking for something to wear. But I came to the conclusion to day would be a very lazy day for me, so I pulled out a pair of skin tight ripped black jeans, a skinny fit black vest top and a cream colored military jacket and my knee high platform boots. I rushed my make-up. Tracing my eyes with some black eyeliner and running red lipstick over my lips, throwing my hair into a high ponytail. Adding my cherry necklace and fang chocker I was ready to go and still had plenty of time for some breakfast and to get to school.

Like every morning I entered the school parking lot the other 'children' stood around looking at me, but the one face that I was interested in was Edward. I saw his family stood round his shiny silver Volvo. But like every morning I was greeted by my best friend, Jacob Black. He stood at nearly 6" 4, had short black hair, and had russet skin. The easiest way to put it he is a Quileute and has been my best friend since I moved here back in September, but we have known each other since we were very little.

He opened my door when I pulled into the parking space next to his motor bike. "Good morning beautiful how are you feeling today?" he asked as he took my bag from me.

"Jake I am fine, now give me back my bag before I hit you." I joked at him as he pouted at me. I started leading him towards the school. That was when I heard the whispers start, ever since Jakes 18th birthday party people have been spreading rumors about our friendship especially since Jessica and Lauren saw me leaving his room with only his shirt on. How could I get that drunk really? But these rumors plus the ones they are already spreading about me I am surprised that Jake still wants to be my friend. But what I am really, really hoping that Edward would not hear any of them.

My first class was English, and I noticed Alice Cullen bouncing up and down and when she saw me she nearly went through the roof.

"Oh Bella over here, I saved you a seat." She said waving her hands around like an idiot; I was going to like this girl a lot.

"Hi, Alice right? Thanks for saving me a seat." I said taking the seat next to her; I pulled out my pen and note pad. Before I had a chance to do anything, she had pulled a page from my pad and started writing.

(Alice / Bella )

"Yes, I'm Alice. My brother has told us all about you think he has a crush on you!"

"No way, I'm the freaky girl that no one likes." I stated back.

"Oh Edward really likes you and the fact that you are different from the rest of the 'them' is even better." Alice passed back the note with a big grin on her face like she knew a secret.

"Ok Alice I will bite what do you want to know?" I asked her knowing that no one is nice to me without a reason.

"Well my dear Bella, me and you are going to be great friends and I thought this would be a good way to break the ice." She looked at me with such innocence, big golden brown puppy dog eyes. It was hard to say no to her.

"Ok dear, what would you like to know?" It would be nice to have a female friend and plus I really really liked her brother, so it would be win, win on both fronts.

"Well for starts, do you like my brother? Second I love your outfit would like to go shopping with me … please , please, please!" Again with the puppy dog eyes.

"Yes and yes. Are you happy now you little pixie." I passed her back the paper and she was not impressed with the nickname.

"Bella that is Edwards nickname for me. Freaky you two are more alike than I would have thought. And Friday shopping I will not take no for an answer." She said in a low whisper so that our teacher would not hear.

"So Friday after school, I can do. But how can you say that me and your brother are alike when I only just met him?" I looked at her slightly confused.

"Well I know my brother and from what he has told us all about you, plus I am very good with people." She said winking at me. Oh dear god please do not tell me Alice likes me like that!

We spent the rest of the class getting to know each other and by the end I had heard not only Alice's life story but her whole families as well. Which was a lot of fun. At the class I was greeted by Jake. As we both had Gym together.

We talked about nothing overly interesting; until I told him about Alice he turned defensive and told me that it would be a good idea to stay away from them. To which I told him to get lost and then stopped talking to him.

All of gym all I could think about was how mad I was at Jake that I did not see the ball being chucked in my direction. And said ball hit me right in the face.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry." I was set upon by a large bear like guy.

"It is ok my own fault for not paying attention." I said as he offered me his hand. I looked up at his face and noticed that he was another one of the Cullen clan.

"I'm Emmett; oh your nose is bleeding. Do you want me to take you to the nurse?" How come all the Cullen's where so nice to me?

"No don't worry Emmett, I will go to the bathroom, it will stop in a second. But thank you." I said taking his outstretched hand so that I could stand up. Coach excused me so that I could go and clean myself up. While I was sat in one of the cubicles I heard the nasally voice of none other than Lauren.

"Did you hear about Bella and Jacob, Jessica told me that she saw Bella leaves Jakes house again in one of his shirt the other week. I think they are way more than just friends. But if you ask me who would really want to touch that. She is so not pretty."

"I heard that she was seeing some of jakes other friends, and that Matt saw her at Jacob's birthday party making out with some random guy before heading up stairs to Jacob's room." I could not believe this I was very drunk that night and I don't even remember sleeping with Jake till the next morning when I woke up naked with him spread across me.

"She is now trying to get her grubby hands on Edward." Lauren said rather pissed off.

Ha ha no matter how much I wanted to be with Edward, I knew that he would never look at me like that. No matter what Alice had to say about it. I waited till both of them left the bathroom before following them. The hall way was quite, I started to make my way back towards the changing room. I was again paying no attention to where I was going till I walked into a brick wall, for the second time in half an hour I have been knocked on my ass. I looked up to see what I had walked into. It was none other than the Greek God himself Edward.

"Bella you should really be more careful otherwise my father may be looking at you again." He laughed as he helped me up off of the ground.

"Well let's just stay I think I only have 3 more members of your family to meet. And your father did take very good care of me, so I don't think I would mind if he did it ag…." I cut off the sentence because I was overcome with sickness yet again I rushed back into the restroom and chucked my guts up.

A sat back on my heels and rested my head against the cool steel of the toilet wall. But before long there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Bella are you ok, you have been in here for a while." Edward said through the stool door.

I looked down then I had my head down the toilet once again. Edward banged on the door a little harder this time. "Bella open the door and let me in." So I did while I knew I would be ok for a second I unbolted the door and made as much space as I could for him to come in and close the door.

But before I could say anything I was sick again. Edward held my hair back and rubbed my back gently. It got to the point where I was just dry heaving.

"Better?" He asked, I weakly nodded and grabbed some tissue to wipe off my mouth.

"You do know you are going to get in trouble if you are caught in here?" I asked after a moment of silence.

He looked at me, knowing that the chances of him getting caught were slim. Although what happened next surprised me. Edward gathered me up in his arms and held me very gently rocking me back and forth. It was amazing just how at home I felt in his arms. It was amazing. Let's just say Jake is not going to be impressed when he finds out about this.

"Thank you Edward for not being grossed out about me being sick." I said after more silence.

He kissed my hair and just felled me closer to his cold body. "Edward can I ask you a question?" He nodded his head but did not say anything to me.

"Would it be weird if I was to ask you out on like a date?" I said, still silence from him. "God it is weird, you have just watched me throw my guts up and I am asking you out while sat on the floor of the girls bathroom." I scold myself for being an complete idiot.

"Bella, yes I will go on a date with you, it is a little weird but it is the most interesting way to be asked out." He laughed as he pushed me a way slightly, the loss of contacted was horrible, I felt empty and I did not like it.

"But I must tell you, we will have to keep it a secret from the rest of the school as they all think I have a girlfriend in London." He added.

This made me smile, I would enjoy keeping Edward all to myself. I don't think I could be any luckier.

The Bell went which really ruined my mood as I knew I had to head back to the locker room to change and that I would loss what little contact I had with Edward.

Like Every day me and Jake would head back to my house for lunch, I would cook and we would chill till 6th period as we both had study hall, and we both thought it was a waste of time. But this afternoon Jake was really off. Instead of having a laugh, he tried to kiss me.

"Jake we have talked about this, what happened at your party was a mistake, I was drunk so were you. You're my best friend and I do love you but not like that." I said after I had pushed him away.

"Bella please, can't we just give it a go, you never know what could happen I love you and I want to be your boyfriend." He stated while standing up and going to the window.

I pulled my legs up under me; I could not take seeing him so hurt. But I knew how I felt about it and I just did not love him the same way he loved me.

"Jake no I do not want to date you….." he cut me off by storming out of the house slamming the door so hard that it made the house shack.

I did not see Jake after our argument, but it did not surprise me I had hurt him bad and I knew there was no way I was going to be able to make it up to him any time soon.

I headed back to school, so that I could attend my final class of the day which is biology which means I will get to see Edward again. And there he was looking as sexy as ever, the things I would like to do him. What the hell where did that come from.

Ok Bella mind out of the gutter. I moved towards my seat next to him, he caught my hand under the table and placed it between both of his.

"We are watching a video, so we can do what we like in the dark." He whispered seductively in my ear as Mr. Banner rolled in the old television and video player. Oh my god this was going to be the best lesson ever.

Through the whole lesson Edward held my hand drawing patterns into my palm, with every touch he managed to make my spine tickle, which made me want to jump him right there in the middle of the class room, but I controlled myself. Every so often Edward would let out a low chuckle as if he could tell what I was thinking and if he could he was thinking the same thing as I was.

"Bella if your hand goes any further, I think I might have to get us both excused from class and find a janitors closets." He whispered, just to see if he was serious I moved our entwined hands further up his leg. Before I could say anything Edward's hand shout up and he was telling Mr. Banner that I needed to go to see the nurse.

"Edward I thought you were a gentleman?" I said as he pulled me into the janitor's closets.

"Bella shut up and kiss me." Before either of us knew it our lips were connected and moving in perfect synch with each other. I ran my tongue over his bottom lip asking for more but instead he pulled away moving towards my neck. I let out an embarrassing moan, oh how glad I was that everyone was in class.

His hands slid up and under my top, I had not noticed that his hands were ice cold till they came into contact with my lace bra. I was so in love with this man. "Oh my God Edward." I said a little too loud, it drew people's attention to the closet. We were greeted with not only the janitor but the principle as well.

"You two my office now." Principle Brown was not happy at all.

We made our way to the Principal's office both of us looking very embarrassed. I am so glad that Charlie was out of town so that he would not hear at all.

"So Miss Swan, Mr. Cullen would you like to explain what you were doing in there?" he was not overly impressed with our little PDA session.

"Well sir, I don't really have an explanation for what happened. But we are very sorry and it will not happen again." Edward said with a very apologetic look on his face.

"Ok well I am going to let you both off with a warning and a week of detention. Is that understood?" He said writing it all down in his little note book. We both nodded. We then were able to leave.

"Well do you think that we will be able to do this again?" I winked at him.

"I think that could be arranged." He said leading me towards my car.

That night was the first night that I dreamt of Edward Cullen.
