Being pregnant may suck, but being pregnant and at school is a whole different thing. A whole new blob of suck, and it happened every week for five days.
Not only was I coping with my new boyfriends thing, Jacob, who wanted to claim himself father of my baby and king of the world, but I had to deal with ignoring Edward for no reason in particular, and my English teacher going on and on about writing to strangers and a friendly letter 'format'.
There's a format for a 'friendly' letter? I took a few deep breaths and continued to tune into the lecture.
"That's why its so important! Now look here-" Never mind, tuning out. I tapped my fingers anxiously.
Dear Bella,
We just want to say, we absolutely adore you're listening strategy. We're not going to lie, we question it but it seems to be working out for you quite well! Splendid. On our behalf we are honored to reward you with the Fantastic Listener Award.
Only you Ms. Swan can listen so well .
Love

"Emmett!" The teacher's eyes stared directly behind me bewildered, and I froze because for a second I thought he said Bella and that he was staring at me.
"What!" Emmett's booming voice filled the room, and I flinched at the sound feeling as if he was directly in my ear. I fought back the urge to turn and punch him in the face.
"Please take the empty seat next to Bella, you and Tyler seem to be having quite the chat back there." The teacher sighed, looking at Emmett pleadingly. With a big audible sigh the drama queen moved to the empty seat next to me, and I cursed my partner for being absent today.
"There." Emmett said stubbornly once he was sitting next to me, I squeezed my eyes shut with pure annoyance, and opened them back up with a sigh, and the teacher decided his lecture was pointless, and that he might need to just shut up again.
"Take out a pen and paper and start writing you're letters." He ordered. I started working like everyone else, and I stalled just a bit because Emmett was actually an interesting creature.
I remember Rosalie Hale, that fine beautiful young lady that had me running in CVS at 1 in the morning for a pregnancy test. I knew her for just a few months, and we were close but never really had the chance to be as close.
Alice never even met her, it was during the months she had gone to stay with her dad for 2 months, leaving me. Abandoning me. I think if Alice got the chance to meet Rosalie Hale she would be just slightly closer to Jasper Hale, Rosalie's brother.
Sadly Rosalie has gone off to a boarding school, and for a wild moment while I glanced at Emmett from the corner of my eye, I wondered what would have happened if she had been pregnant.
I wondered if Emmett even still talks to her. I wonder if she's alright and if she's okay.
"Hey Bellster." Emmett to my surprise nudged me randomly, probably catching me staring at him from the corner of my eyes. The gesture made me almost jump startled but instead I stared almost curiously.
Did he not see me pregnant? Did he forget he was the most popular guy at school? I wonder.
"Hi." He repeated again staring right back at me a slight smile on his lips. He even looked huge sitting down, I made note to share this with Alice or the next person who talks to me that isn't Emmett.
"Hi." I choked out, shifting in my seat. I looked at the board then back at him.
Dear Bella,
FABULOUS! IT ONLY TOOK YOU 1 MIN AND 4 SEC TO RESPOND!
You are absolutely amazing. We applaud you!
Best wishes,
Everyday Time Keepers.
"You seem surprised." He titled his head.
"Didn't expect you to be talking to me." I admitted honestly.
"Why?" He chuckled.
"I don't know, you're Emmett." I shrugged.
"And you're Bella." He shrugged mocking me. "I remember you, you were on of Rosalie's friends."
"Yeah." I eyed him.
"She told me how you helped her… and it looks as if you're in the same situation yourself." His eyes slipped to my baby bump, and I blushed of course, growing very uncomfortable.
So I didn't respond instead I just looked at my hands, that I was all of a sudden so curious about.
"You still talk to her?" I asked not making eye contact with him, just keeping my eyes glued to my hands. I felt a if I was in a job interview of some sort, it just made me nervous and antsy.
"Yep." He popped his P, and relaxed in his seat stretching, and making a loud grunting noise. What a jock.
"I give her a ring a ling on the telephono, every once in a while." He stretched and sighed. I couldn't help the giggle at his phrase for 'calling someone one' and his Spanish, it was hilarious, and honestly I wasn't just giggling. The silent laughter that filled me was absolutely insane, so I just let some of it be known by letting it bubble through my lips in giggles.
"What?" Emmett laughed, only because I was laughing.
"Nothing." As I opened my mouth to speak, it caused the rest of my laughter to just flow out freely, so that it was known to him, I was laughing pretty damn hard, and it felt amazing.
I hadn't laughed so hard in months, I hadn't felt so bubbly and light headed in so long! I longed to just sit and laugh, about absolutely ridiculous things.
"Are you laughing at me?" Emmett chuckled.
"No." I could hardly choke the word out as my laughter came to and I sighed satisfied, wiping a way a few tears that had slid down my cheek.
"How do you know my name?" My voice was still light from my laughter.
"Edward." He said simply and just the boys name alone made my heart skip a beat pathetically.
"Oh." My voice was small now. Lord knows what Edward must have aid about me.
"He didn't say anything bad." Emmett defended, putting his head up in surrender his brown eyes sparkling with honesty.
"Okay." I sighed content with knowing that, and Emmett saw it. Emmett was pretty cool I guess, I didn't think having a conversation with the huge guy would make me feel a little lighter, if anything I would think it would just annoy me to no point.
He was nice, he looked like a jock, or a persona trainer, and it was slightly intimidating, actually really intimidating but his words were nothing like that. He seemed nice enough.
What did he find enjoyable about being Satan's friend? The bell rang making me jump and Emmett laugh hysterically.
"You're alright Bella." Emmett chuckled packing up his stuff, as did I.
"Thanks?" I smiled, and put my back pack on. "See you around."
I entwined my hands together, and wrapped them around my baby bump, almost absentmindedly.
The halls seemed especially crowded as I walked them, they seemed filled with animals, I never realized how violent it was out here. People pushing, shoving with so much force, you would think this was a school filled with anger management students.
I didn't see anyone who was worth stopping and talking to as I walked to my locker, and I didn't take my hands off my baby bump. Well one it was just comfortable, and two, I knew everyone knew now, I mean you can see it. Its there. There's nothing to do about. I highly doubt there's some kid walking around school saying 'That Isabella girl is getting fat.'
If there is, that's sad. Some one should put them in the loop. I wondered idly who everyone thought was the father, that's something I only shared with Alice & Tommy, who wouldn't be ones to prance around spilling my business.
And I knew Edward definitely wasn't. Speaking of the devil, I hadn't seen him at all today, I hadn't even had to run into a Janitor's closet, it was thrilling. I had several bruises from where I had entered the closet with too much force, just hurting myself in the process.
I approached my locker thinking about my Bio homework and if Edward did it for that matter when I saw it. I stopped dead in my tracks, if I had something in my hands I would have dropped it, if I was running I would have tripped and fell, if I was talking I would have choked on my own saliva.
I stood a good few feet away from my locker just staring, thinking the bright red rose taped to it would disappear into thin air. It didn't, and I could feel my eyes widen, and my heart begin to beat that crazy way it shouldn't. I could only think of one person in their right mind to do something like this. Jacob.
I should have known, after that phone call only 2 nights ago, things were definitely weird. He not only was trying to get him scheduled into my every waking, breathing moment on this earth but he wanted to be the babies father.
I don't know what I want, but I love Jacob I really do, and even though I turn down Edward every chance I get, I still don't want something else. I confuse myself.
I walked faster toward the rose there taped on my locker, surprised no one in this cold school just snatched it as they walked by. As I got close I noticed a white note, stuck in between my locker, obviously put there.
I snatched the rose and note from its place, quickly opening it up. And the elegant script caught me off guard.
Would you go to the movies with me Friday?
-Satan.
My heart just about stopped, and I felt the little note slip out of my hands, and onto the floor. Its as if time stopped, and everyone around me disappeared, and now the rose in my hand had become something different.
Something more beautiful maybe? I looked at the rose like I had never seen one before, I held it like it was the most important thing in the world. It was this dang baby, it had to be, it absolutely had to be.
The baby had my heart swelling, and my eyes stinging with tears.
Buzz.
A buzz in my back pocket, snapped me out of my disgustingly dreamy daze. I quickly pulled out my cell phone that was vibrating continuously.
Caller ID: Jacob.
I answered still looking at the rose in my hands.
"Jake." I answered, I know he could hear the smile in my voice.
"Hey Bells, you sound happy." I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Yeah." I giggled, feeling just a bit light headed.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes." I bit my lip, trying to hold in another random giggle.
"Well I called to ask you about Friday." Jacob sighed.
"Friday?" I asked, and from somewhere in the hall I heard my name being called. I turned my body into that direction, but all I could see was some random chick I knew in like 1st grade.
I think her name is Myr- I cut myself off when I caught who had been behind her. He looked so sweet today, his hair still its usual bronze sexy mess, his lips in a slight smile, almost shy.
But today as Edward stood at the end of the hall staring at me, in those green bright eyes I didn't see lust, I didn't see hate, I didn't see annoyance, I saw something I wasn't even sure what to call, but it was there and it was bright in those emerald eyes that watched me.
"Bella?" Jacob asked on the phone, his voice slightly annoyed. I realized I had zoned out and missed everything he had said.
"Sorry Jake." I apologized, my voice even to me sounding off, still light. I didn't take my eyes off Edward, as he just stood there.
"I have plans on Friday." I almost whispered. And as if Edward heard me he shot me a crooked grin, making my knees week.
"0h.With who?" Jacob's voice was surprised.
"Cant talk, teacher coming." I said quickly, flipping my phone shut and stuffing it in my pocket. Ungracefully as always.
My eyes hadn't left Edward's, and he hadn't moved from his spot at the end of the hall way. Was this some sick joke? Was he really asking me to go to the movies? I didn't know what to do at thi point.
Should I walk over, should I walk away? But for the moment we just stared at each other, my smile never once falling, and my cheeks burning. His smile stayed the absolute same just making me melt with every second of its presence.
Isabella,
A rose, a beautiful, beautiful rose, left for a beautiful girl, to make her day shine with pure happiness. And that smile ! Oh that smile, a smile he would only truly strike you with to make you giggle like a giddy school girl. We think we're on to something.
Love,
Young Romance Society
Dear Young Romance Society
You guys are absolutely hilarious. Thank you for the very entertaining jokes. Keep them coming.
Love,
Isabella Swan.
"Thank you." I mouthed finally, after a few seconds.
"You're Welcome." He mouthed back, and winked. I almost fell over and died. I had to focus on my breathing, much more than anyone naturally should. The bell rang loud, making me realize much to my annoyance I was late to class, and so was Edward.
With just that, I walked to my class, in a hurry, giving Edward just one last glance, only to find he was walking in the opposite direction doing the same.
It was just surprise after surprise today wasn't it?
LUNCH.
Maybe it was because Alice would shut up, I was so nervous as we walked to the cafeteria.
"I couldn't figure out which boots so, I decided on the-" I cut her off.
"Maybe we should eat outside or something." I suggested, totally off topic.
"Okay. Sounds wonderful. I never knew you were the eat-outside-during-a-storm kind of person." Alice responded sarcastically, and I almost wanted to laugh but I was much too nervous.
"Ha." I laughed so dryly, I knew it was sad.
"What's up, you're all jumpy?" Alice's playfully teasing mode was turned off and replaced with concern.
"It's the baby nerves." I lied.
"Okay." I felt her eye me, as we stopped in front of the cafeteria doors. I hadn't told her about the rose, scared it would turn out to be some sick joke, or maybe he had changed his mind.
I had never doubted anything so much in my life. Even though I felt horrible keeping things from Alice I didn't want to go through the embarrassment if it was a joke or something.
I can tell her everything, but for now I think it should just be my secret and who ever witnessed Edward put the rose on my locker I guess. By now the school should be buzzing with rumors but I heard nothing so I guess them all to be oblivious.
Alice was smart enough to realize something was wrong with her best friend since birth, and even smarter to not question.
"Lets go." I sighed and pushed the cafeteria door open. Nothing out of the ordinary was in there, no clowns, no wild animals, just teenagers eating like they do all day everyday.
"Jesus you took forever." His velvet voice was right beside me, and being me I naturally jumped and almost vomited up all my nerves.
"Oh hey look its Satan." Alice grimaced in his direction, that I hadn't even looked.
"Hello Edward." I looked to where his voice had come from, and of course he was standing there with all his glory, just leaning against the wall.
"Are you stalking me?" I bit my lip, with only a little annoyance, mostly at myself for coming in here in the first place.
"Nice to see you too." He smiled ignoring my question. Our little chit chat already had people glancing in our direction.
"So about Friday.." He trailed off, and pushed him self off the wall.
"What is he talking about?" Alice tugged on my arm, and I glanced at her before looking Edward straight in his perfect emerald orbs.
"You must be joking." I scoffed.
"I'm not joking Isabella." His voice was like a caress to my name.
"But you must!" I insisted.
"What?!" Alice looked between the two of us, looking absolutely confused.
"Please Bella, I promise it is not a joke." He looked so sincere, so honest it had me speechless.
"If I didn't know you so well, I'd think you were asking me on a date." I shook my head.
"You don't 'know me so well" He scoffed. "Plus we're friends right? Friends can go to the movies with friends."
"I don't think so." I shook my head, and I could see Alice from the corner of my eye freeze with surprise, and I already was filled with guilt for telling her now that knew he wasn't joking. I was going to turn, I was going to walk away, and I was going to try and forget this ever happened.
"Bella I'll get on my knees." He said suddenly, and I was very quick to protest throwing threats at him, and calling him names.
"I'll do it." He was teasing me now, as he slowly began to kneel, and get down on two knees.
"Edward!" I hissed as he kneeled in front of me.
"Bella please!" He yelled holding his hands in front of him, of course everyone was staring now, watching Edward Masen beg on his knees. I pinched the bridge of my nose.
"OH BELLA!" He yelled dramatically.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god." I whispered to myself frantically.
"I really want to take you! I really want to! Please Bella, just this once I promise, I, Edward Masen, you're sex slav-" I put my hand on his mouth quickly to stop him.
"Okay! Okay!" I yelled. "Okay." I giggled only just a little, and his face lighted up, his bright eyes a few shades brighter and his smile wide beneath my hand, that I removed once he was silent. He got up from his knees.
"Thank you." He smiled. "Pick you up at 8."
"You're absolutely crazy." I laughed shaking my head at him.
