Hey guys!! Sorry I didn't update yesterday, even though I have three days (five if you count the weekend) off school, I have been doing school work constantly and have only got round to writing at night.

I'm so glad that you guys like my stories, otherwise I would probably just not write them and continue with school work, which can get too much at times...

I hope you guys like this and I know you'll be reading it and start hating me and then once the conundrum is resolved you'll like me again... Just try not to hate me okay??

You're wondering what's going to happen now aren't you?? Hehe.

One Week Later.

"You're going to be fine Bella." I said as we all stood staring at the door.

"I'm just so nervous..." she whispered.

"There's nothing to be worried about." Alice said gently, "They should be the nervous ones..."

Bella stared at the door for another long moment and then she opened it quickly, "Okay, let's go." She said.

We all smiled and walked out the door and headed to our separate cars, "You can come with me Bella." I said, nodding towards my Volvo.

She smiled at me and jumped into the passenger seat.

I got in and started the car, I began to move out of the garage when Emmett's Jeep pulled out in front of me and he drove by, his face up against the glass as he laughed at me.

I groaned and pulled out slowly.

I drove down the long driveway and Bella and I sat in silence.

The past week had been, not awkward, but more tension filled. After the party I had seen it in her eyes that we had both recognised the fact that something had happened between us. We just hadn't admitted it to each other yet.

Throughout the week we had been surrounded by our family and there was always someone to fill the silence.

We didn't ignore each other, we simply talked as Alice and I would, like brother and sister.

But every so often, I would turn and look at her, and she would be staring at me... Sometimes, more often than not, she would look away quickly and continue with what she had been doing before, but the odd time she would continue to gaze at me until someone else broke the silence.

We didn't attend school for the rest of the week and now we were all going together. Including Bella.

Carlisle had gotten Bella enrolled by Thursday of last week and we had all gone out shopping for her school supplies on Saturday.

Of course, Alice came, and she whipped Bella away to the clothes stores. So I took it upon myself to buy Bella her things and I had to admit I loved the look she gave me when I'd handed her them.

I looked across at her as she sat in the passenger seat fiddling with her fingers as she looked out the window.

She was wearing a blue checked shirt and jeans, much to Alice's dismay, but to me she looked amazing.

I smiled, "So... Are you excited?" I asked.

Her head turned to look at me and I saw the fear in her eyes, "Excited isn't really the word..."

"Bella." I laughed, "You seriously have nothing to worry about." I looked into her eyes, "Trust me."

She gazed at me for a long moment and I got that feeling back again, the one I'd been feeling all week when she so much as looked my way. My stomach tightened and my whole body became warm inside by simply being captured in her golden gaze.

"Okay..." she mumbled, looking down at her hands again.

I looked at the road again and saw we were near the school, I pulled in to the grounds quickly. I parked in the one empty space beside Emmett's Jeep and Jasper's Mercedes.

"Do you guys have like marked spaces or something?" she asked as we got out of the car.

Emmett, Rose, Alice and Jasper were waiting patiently by their cars.

I laughed, "Something like that... Everyone's too afraid to question us..."

"Afraid?" she asked incredulously.

Alice nodded, "We're different. They're scared." She explained.

We began to walk towards the doors of the school and as we did I watched as everyone's heads turned towards us, specifically Bella.

Wow. New girl.

Must be another Cullen.

She's pretty. I turned my head towards the innocent thought, I watched as Eric's eyes widened in shock and his thoughts turned in a new direction. Ok, do not go there Eric.

I smiled to myself and looked down at Bella. She was staring straight ahead and gripping the strap of her bag so tight her knuckles were whiter than our normal skin.

I leaned down to speak in her ear, "If you grip that any tighter you'll rip it." I laughed.

She looked up at me and smiled, her grip loosened slightly.

Definitely another Cullen. Oh... Looks like Edward's got someone now too...

I turned my head towards Tyler Crowley and I smiled widely. Yes, spread it around, Bella is mine...

"We'll leave you to take Bella to reception?" Alice asked as we reached the doors. Bella and I turned to look at the rest of my family.

"Yes, I'll take her..." I nodded towards them as we headed inside and then we watched as our family walked away down the corridor's, both couples hand in hand.

"This way." I said to Bella.

She turned and followed me to reception.

I got her timetable for her, a map of the school and officially registered her in Fork's High.

I walked her to her first class, happy that I was in her Biology class after lunch.

I left her there and got a quick glance at everyone in the room as she opened the door to go inside.

I would keep tabs on them to make sure I knew Bella was okay.

And also, I admitted to myself, to see who liked her, so I could put them off and prove a point that she was mine...

"Where is she?" I asked irritably.

Alice looked at the table, "She's coming..." she said quietly.

I shook my head, angry at myself for letting her get away from my radar. It was just so hard when I couldn't read her thoughts...

I tried to read the thoughts of everyone who was coming into the cafeteria, to see who she was with.

Suddenly I heard her laugh and I looked up, like the rest of my family, to see who she with.

"I swear!" Mike Newton laughed with her.

She giggled gently as they walked into the cafeteria.

I immediately read his thoughts. Wow. She is so hot! And she seems to like me! Score!

I growled gently.

"What is it Edward?" Alice asked.

I continued to watch them. I glared at Mike Newton. How dare he call my Bella hot. It such a sexist comment to make. The more suitable term would be, gorgeous, pretty, beautiful... Perfect.

I shook my head, I would deal with him later. But first I needed to see if what he'd thought was true... Did she like him?

I looked at her and my angry facade faded away as I saw her beauty.

But I couldn't deny what was in front of my eyes, she was smiling, laughing and enjoying his company...

I looked at the table as the cloud of sorrow and desolation came over me.

"Edward?" Alice asked, "What's wrong?"

"She likes him..." I whispered.

"No." They all said together.

I looked up at them, "It's not possible... She would never like someone like Mike Newton... She's probably just laughing at one of his stupid jokes. "Rosalie spoke in a gentle whisper so that even Bella couldn't hear her.

I gazed at her in wonder, did Rosalie just say something nice to me?

She pursed her lips and sat back in her chair, "Edward, I'm not the bitch you like I am..." she said, her eyes on the wall, she looked back at me after a long moment, "I've watched you mourn Bella like the rest of them... I know how much she means to you..." she whispered.

I smiled, "Thanks Rose." I looked over my shoulder as Bella walked towards us, waving goodbye to Mike, "You really think she doesn't like him?" I asked once more.

"Positive." They all answered, even their thoughts were saying the same.

Bella smiled as she reached us, thought the smile had never been off her face.

She looked at me as she spoke, "Hi." She said.

I automatically felt better, "Hi." I replied simply.

She sat down in the one empty seat, beside Alice and me.

We began to talk about trivial things and how Bella had gotten on during the first half of her day.

It was when she spoke a certain seventeen words that my whole family nearly had a heart attack – not an easy thing for a vampire.

"So, Mike Newton invited me to the cinema tonight with him and Jessica Stanley and Angela Weber..." she said quietly.

My whole family's thoughts were the same, No. Way.

She looked at her hands and then at every member of our family, then her eyes rested on me, "I was wondering if you guys wanted to come?" she asked.

Alice opened her mouth to speak, but I got there first, "No."

What?

"You should go by yourself... Make friends..." I said nodding at her.

She gazed at me with confused eyes, "Oh. Okay then..." she sounded disappointed, I noted with happiness, she must have wanted me to go...

I smiled inwardly, she so didn't like Mike Newton... But there was no harm in making sure.

I glanced at Alice when Bella had taken her eyes away from mine.

Alice looked at me suspiciously, What are you planning?

I smiled.

"Have you got everything?" I asked her.

She looked in her bag, "Yep. Notebook, pen and a torch. Though I don't see why would need the torch?"

I shrugged, "You never know..."

"What do you need the notebook and pen for?" Emmett asked, turning to look at Alice and I. He was sitting on one of the sofas with Rose's head in his lap.

"Alice can talk to me without making noise... But I wouldn't be able to talk to Alice without Bella hearing me..."

"Ah." Emmett nodded in approval and wished us luck as we made our way to my Volvo.

We sat in silence the whole journey to Port Angeles, Alice only breaking the silence when there wasn't a song on the radio.

"I don't know why we're doing this..." she mumbled, "You know she doesn't like Mike Newton... You saw her face when you turned her down."

"I know... But I need to be sure..."

"A paranoid vampire... Who would've thought?" she laughed.

"I'm no-"

"Ssshh! I like this song!"

The conversation ended there.

We parked the car, entered the cinema and paid for our tickets.

"Bella's going to see a horror?" Alice asked in shock as we made our way to the screen.

"Well that's what she told Emmett when I got him to ask her..." I mumbled.

We went into the screen and picked seats at the very back.

There she is. Alice said, even her thoughts a whisper.

I looked down the rows and saw her sitting a few rows back from the front. Mike Newton was beside her and Jessica and Angela were on his other side.

I watched them during the trailers, making sure he didn't try anything...

It was halfway through the film when Alice spoke again, So much for the pen and paper... You're to engrossed with them to even notice that you dropped them five minutes ago...

I lifted the paper off the ground and automatically looked back at Bella, Sorry. I wrote.

They don't seem to be doing much... She noted.

Exactly. I wrote, my lips turned up in a smile.

I already told you she didn't like him... She mumbled.

Yeh, but like I said... I need to make sure... I wrote.

But why? She persisted.

Because... Sometimes when she looks at me I think she likes me... I began to write.

Alice interrupted me with her thoughts, Sometimes? It's all the time Edward.

So why doesn't she tell me then?

Why don't you? She questioned.

I turned my head to look at her and she was gazing at me with pursed lips.

"Did you see that?" We both heard Mike's voice and our heads snapped to look at them.

"No..." Bella mumbled, "I paid $10 to come to the movies and look at the floor..."

He turned to look at her and she shook her head in annoyance, "I need to go to the bathroom..." she said getting up from her seat.

Mike watched her walk away for a short moment and then he turned his attention back to the movie.

I smiled at her humour and got up from my seat.

Where are you going?! Alice said.

I wrote on the paper quickly, Just to see where she's going...

I put the paper down on the seat and got up to follow her.

I was looking back at Mike Newton as I turned the corner to the doors of the screen. I stopped suddenly as I saw Bella against the wall with her eyes closed.

I should've ran back to my seat so that she wouldn't see me, but I was glued to the spot.

Any minute now she would turn to go back and she'd be staring straight at me, but I couldn't make myself move.

Her eyes snapped open and she turned around to go back to her seat. Was Alice sure she was the psychic one?

She looked at me for a long moment. First her eyes widened in shock and then narrowed.

"Edward?" she whispered.

"Bella." I smiled.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Alice fancied going to see a film..." I told her.

Liar! Alice shouted at me.

She looked down at the floor, "So you could go with Alice but not with me, huh?"

I furrowed my brows in confusion, "What does it matter?"

You're digging yourself a hold bro... Alice told me.

Bella looked up at me, "I didn't want to go with Mike Newton... I don't even like him... Not even as a friend..."

"But you were laughing with him at lunch?" I made it sound like a question.

She laughed lightly, "I was laughed at what Angela had said... He butted into the conversation..."

"Oh." I answered. "So why did you say yes to going to the cinema with him?"

"I didn't want to go with him... I wanted to go with you..." she looked down, embarrassed, "We never get to have any alone time..." she mumbled.

Sorry. Alice apologised.

"And after what happened at the party." She shrugged, "I don't know... Maybe it was stupid..." she raised her hand to the cinema screen, "I don't even like horrors... I don't have any guts... I always liked that idea of the boyfriend holding the girl when she got scared..." she shrugged again and shook her head.

"Is that why you wanted me to come?" I asked quietly.

She looked up at me slowly and simply gazed into my eyes.

I walked forward slowly, "We didn't come here because Alice wanted to see a movie... I wanted to spy on you..." I admitted.

"Why?" she asked as I came closer.

"Because I thought you liked him..." I said, I was right in front of her now, close enough to just reach out and touch her cheek.

"I don't like him..." she shook her head.

I smiled, "I know that now..."

I took a deep breath and raised my hand, I gently cupped her cheek and watched as she closed her eyes slowly.

"Bella..." I whispered her name.

We stood like that for a long minute and then she opened her eyes to look at me. She smiled timidly and I gazed down into her eyes.

"I suppose I should let you get back to the film..." I said.

Her face dropped and I laughed gently, "I'm kidding... How about we go somewhere?"

She smiled, "That would be perfect..."

I smiled at her and suddenly Alice spoke to me, I'll be fine... You go... I'm going to stay and enjoy the film.

I smiled, "Alice is staying... Let's go, I want to take you somewhere..."

Hope you guys liked it!! And you don't hate me!! It ended happily right??

Please review!!
