DISCLAIMER: I own nothing.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thanks for all of the wonderful reviews. You guys continue to amaze me. Thanks for all of the support. Because of how many reviews I have gotten so far I sat down today and wrote up until Edward and Bella got together… all for you! Plus my best friend was threatening to end our friendship if I kept them apart any longer. Lol.

-JPOV-

I stood under the awning by the front office looking towards the parking lot. It looks as if my dear Alice was right, although she almost always is. Her "intuition" was scary sometimes. Really. But there he was, like she said he would be. Mike Newton standing beside Edward's Volvo. I smirked as I thought of what would happen if Edward came out before Bella did.

But that was one of the reasons why I was doing this. As much as I disliked Mike I did not want to see one of my closest friends suspended for beating the bloody pulp out of him. The other reason was because Alice loves Bella which means I love Bella. I already felt as if she were a part of our "family." and if Alice was correct about her newest theory she would be a part of the family eventually anyways. And you will never see me betting against Alice.

I walked towards the Volvo and smoothed my face into the blank expression that I had perfected from watching my parents in the courtroom. I knew how to intimidate with the best of them. When I arrived at the Volvo I lent casually against the door next to Mike who was standing rigidly, a scared look on his face. It should be no problem to make him doubt himself as he already looked pretty shaken.

It was so difficult to crack a smile as I saw him shift from foot to foot nervously but I simply crossed my arms over my chest and kicked back against the door frame, gazing intently forward. The picture of ease.

"You're waiting for Bella?" I asked without turning to face him.

"Yeah." He said, surprising me slightly.

I thought he would sound as nervous as he looked but he said this almost defiantly. I knew for sure he would never take that tone with Emmett or Edward. He must think he is safe with me because I am the only one who hasn't tried to scare him yet. I didn't need to frighten him to mess with his head though.

I could tell he was watching me carefully so I nodded once.

Silence.

"You sure?" I asked, still refusing to look at him.

It was quiet for a moment as he spoke as if he needed time to rethink his answer.

"Uhm. Yes?" but the defensive absolute tone had left his voice.

His answer sounded more like a question now. I almost smiled as I thought of how many cases my parents had won with this tactic. Simply playing with their emotions. I poised my face and finally turned my head so I could look directly into his eyes.

I let as much emotion as I could gather flood my features and I corked an eye brow at him.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" I asked, sneering slightly but not enough for him to realize I was trying to intimidate him.

You see, that was the trick. If you challenge them openly they are left with only two options: they could back down or they are going to challenge you back and follow through with what they were planning simply to prove a point. I didn't peg Mike as the second but I had to be certain. As much fun as it would be to prove him wrong I had to remember Alice. Alice would be extremely upset with me if I didn't do this her way and it failed. Thus placing Bella in another awkward position. No. I had to scare him without making it look as if I were trying to do so.

Mike still hadn't said anything. He looked not only to be questioning his himself but rethinking his former opinion that he was safe with me. I smoothed my facial expression so as to make it completely blank again.

"I'd think about it."

I patted his arm and he flinched. I had to hold in my smirk as I turned away, leaving Mike looking utterly confused.

When I arrived back at the awning Alice was waiting for me, jumping up and down.

She flung her arms around me and smiled radiantly.

"That was ingenious Jazz!" She cheered.

I smiled at her and she stood on her tiptoes to give me a kiss. I snaked my arms around her waist and she rested her forehead on mine.

"Mission accomplished." She sighed and I chanced a glance back towards the Volvo.

I laughed lightly as I saw Mike's defeated retreating form.

"Phase oneaccomplished." She corrected herself.

"You are one scary little pixie." I chuckled.

She smiled.

"You know you love me!" She chided me.

I smiled. That was an understatement if I ever heard one.

"Forever and always." I promised her.

(AN: That was the shortest chapter ever I believe. But you know the deal. If it's a short chapter I post multiple times so let me type out the next chapter and that'll be up too.;)

Read and review please!)
