Chapter 3: Hate

I do not own any characters in the Twilight Series :(

Thanks for all of the reviews! Just to let you know you'll definitely be hearing the story behind Janice probably in the next chapter or so, and you'll meet some of Bellas new friends soon. And don't worry there will definitely be some jealous Edward moments to come. Enjoy :)

Every time I was able to concentrate on the teacher, my mind would drift back to the little confrontation between me and Janice that morning. A small growl escaped my mouth as I thought of what she had said. I was glad to see the Cullens again, but I knew Alice and Rosalie better then to think they liked her.

"Bella?" my head snapped up to see Amanda smiling down at me; other students were filing out of the room. "You were totally zoned out today, I'm pretty sure Mr.Pender asked you a question about 4 times before he decided to ask someone else." A small giggle escaped her mouth.

"Oh sorry," I mumbled, "I've just got a lot on my mind today." I said a quick goodbye to Amanda and headed towards my Calculus class. I did exactly what I did in English class, I zoned out, and it wasn't like I didn't know all of this already. I still love him, I always have and always will. My plan to get Edward back didn't seem so brilliant all of a sudden. How do I know he doesn't really like this Janice girl? My eyes narrowed as I thought her name. I needed to know for sure whether or not he liked me anymore and I knew exactly who to go to for help. I hoped to God my best friend would be willing to help, her and that diabolical sister of hers.

My hands began to shake slightly as I inched closer and closer to the doors of Cafeteria, who knew what was waiting in there for me. I quickly fixed my hair and with my shoulders back and my head held high I walked into the Cafeteria. I knew people probably thought I was some crazy person after seeing my exit yesterday, so I tried to act as normal as I could, despite the fact that Edward and his demon girlfriend were sitting across the room, probably watching. I grabbed a tray with a sandwich, apple and a bottle of iced tea, scanning the room for a place to sit.

"Bella! Come sit with us!" I heard Alice chirp from the across the room. I walked towards the table at the slowest possible pace I could, where all the Cullens were seated staring at me as I placed my tray down beside Emmett's. I noticed that Edward and Janice were seated on the other end of the table. Janice was looking off into space with an annoyed expression, while Edward sat there staring directly at me.

"So how has your day been so far?" Jasper asked with a smile, my eyes moved down to my tray, glad for the distraction.

"Boring, really boring" I said as I tore my sandwich into small pieces.

They all laughed at the annoyed face I made. It felt great to be back with them again, they were family and no matter what had happened in the past they would always have a place in my heart.

"So Bella, we were wondering, since you don't have a place to stay if you wanted to live with us for a while!" Janice's head whipped over to glare at Alice as soon as she had finished the sentence.

"Well, um…" I stammered, I wasn't so sure living with them would be a smart move; then again she was right I didn't have a place to stay.

"Please!!!" Alice made a sad face, her bottom lip pouting out just a little. How could I say no to that?

"Oh alright" I said as a smile spread across my face. Alice leaped across the table to give me hug while Emmett and Jasper whooped so loud half of the room looked over at them with puzzled faces. Rosalie sat there with a huge grin on her face, which was odd to me since she had never really liked me before. I waited before I looked over at Edward, wondering what his reaction to me moving in would be. He was in the exact same position he had been in when I first sat down, except now he had that beautiful crooked smile on his perfect face. Alice and Rosalie offered to ride home with me which I graciously accepted, i was getting tired of being alone all the time. The bell rang soon after signaling the end of lunch and I went off to my next class.

"So you like my car Rose?" I asked as I walked up to a curious Rosalie inspecting every part of my car.

"Yes! This is insane Bella, who did all of this extra work on it? I definitely know it wasn't you." Her musical laughter rang through the parking lot as a few boys stopped to admire her.

"Oh thanks" I said as I rolled my eyes "Actually my friend Alex fixed it up for me back when I lived with him. He's an obsessed car fan, just like you." I smiled as I remembered my old friends in Italy.

"Can we please get a move on, there's so much I want to tell Bella! And plus we need to get her settled in quickly and ready for tonight, we've got a lot of catching up to do!" Alice said as she appeared out of nowhere and opened the passenger door, sliding in.

"Well I guess we better get going or this one here might explode from excitement" I said as I nodded in the direction of Alice, who was impatiently knocking on my window.

"Ya, wouldn't want that to happen now would we?" Rosalie answered as she gave me a quick smile and rolled her eyes.

Alice didn't waste anytime, as soon as the car was started she began recaping me on everything that had happened in the time while i was gone. Stories about what the boys had gotten themselves into, places they had visited, and of course her shopping trips with Rosalie. I noticed though that she stayed away from the topic of Janice so when she decided to take a small break, i took the oppurtunity.

"So," both Alice and Rosalie turned to me, "whos this new Janice chick?"

Out of the corner of my eye i could see Rosalies beautiful face scrunch up with disgust, Alice on the other hand hid her dislike somewhat better.

My eyebrows shot up "You guys don't like her?" so i was right after all.

"It's not that we don't like her... its just -" Alices excuse was cut short by Rosalie.

"Alice don't lie! You know how much we hate her." Rosalies voice was filled with disgust as she spoke of Janice."The only people who actually don't mind her are Esme, Carlisle, and her precious Edward." She glared out the window.

"Whoa, what did she do to get you guys to hate her so much?" I asked as we pulled up to the huge white mansion. It was even more beautiful then i remembered; my memories hadn't done it justice.

"She - we'll tell you later" Rosalie mummbled as she got out of the car and slammed it shut. I didn't understand why they didn't just tell me then, until i noticed Edward and Janice walking hand in hand out of the house. I couldn't help but feel a bit jealous as i watched them walk down the porch stairs. I got out of the car and followed Rosalie and Alice to the front door. As we walked past Edward and Janice, i glanced over at them. Edward looked uncomfortable, while Janice had that same annoyed expression on her face.

I wondered what she could have possibly done to make four out of the five Cullen kids hate her so much, my guess was that it was bad. Real bad.
