The Real Losers

I walked into my English classroom early the next day. I felt awesome. I was wearing a new sweater I had bought yesterday, with a new pair of shoes. Today was the day Jessica would probably be coming to school and would hopefully befriend… my friends.

walked into the classroom and cleared her throat, 'Right morning everyone…'

School had officially started and Jessica still wasn't here. I glanced at the seat next to me, disappointed.

I took a quick look around the classroom, settling my eyes on two other empty seats. The Cullen's seats. I wonder where they were. Sighing, I settled myself into my seat, I turned my attention towards what we were learning.

I was surprised when Jessica walked into the classroom fifteen minutes late as I thought she was bunking off again. She had a quiet word with and walked over. Remembering that she couldn't sit down unless I got up, I let her walk to her seat and I sat back down again.

'Hello you,' I said to her.

'Hey,' Jessica smiled a bit breathlessly.

'Where've you been?' I asked.

Jessica coughed, 'I overslept, when I woke up I thought not to bother to come to school, you know? But then well…,' she smiled, 'Here I am.'

I made some notes about everything the teacher had said. I looked up and bit on the end of my pencil. I tapped my fingers on the table. Where were the Cullens again? I hoped Edward Cullen was at school today, even if Alice and Jasper weren't. We haven't had a proper conversation yet, I was dying to ask him what he was doing in Port Angeles at exactly the right time. The right time, to save me.

'Hey listen Bella.'

'I turned my attention to Jessica, 'mmhnn, yeah?'

'There's a spare seat on your table, in Spanish right? I mean … would it be okay if I sat with you guys?'

'Oh, oh yeah, no problem. It's fine'

Jessica smiled gratefully at me.

The English lesson passed quickly without anything much happening. I kept drumming my fingers on the desk, just thinking about what had happened last night. How lucky I was, how grateful I was to Edward. I hadn't told anyone of the danger I had been in, not even my parents, who really should know.

Jessica seemed very silent next to me. Was she thinking as well? Thinking of Jade and Lauren? It seemed strange that she was so quiet, as she seemed to be a very chatty and talkative person.

When English ended, Jessica and I got up together and walked to Spanish. Just to end the silence, I asked Jessica, 'So, are you good at Spanish?'

Jessica looked down and bit her lip, 'Not really, I just spend my lessons sitting there fooling around. Maybe you could help me out,' Jessica gave me a weak smile.

'Oh, it would be a pleasure to help you, I'm sure Carissa would help you as well, she's quite good.'

Just then, Jessica, who had had her head down, crashed into someone, causing her to drop all her books. I gasped. Looking up, I saw Mike Newton. I groaned. However, Mike didn't seem to have noticed me, he was too busy helping Jessica pick up her books.

'Well, well, what a surprise Jessica,' Mike said, giving her a flashy grin.

Jessica smiled and fluttered her eyelashes, 'Thanks Mike, that was really nice of you.'

Mike shook his head, 'No, no, it was my fault in the first place.'

Jessica giggled and seemingly transformed into her old self, as she chatted happily to Mike Newton.

My jaw dropped. So Jessica really did seem to like Mike. I was happy for her, maybe Mike could help her get over the devils and become who she was again.

'So, you busy tonight?' I heard Mike ask.

I hid a smile.

'Uh, well, no, not really. Why?' Jessica stammered.

Mike handed Jessica her books, 'Well I was thinking that, I don't know, we could hang?'

My heard pounded for Jessica, 'No! I mean Yes! Yes, definitely. Absolutely. Yes, wow, that would be. Would be amazing.'

Mike flashed his teeth at Jessica, 'Pick you up at five.'

'Bella,' he said nodding to me as he walked of.

'Oh. My. Gosh,' Jessica whisper screamed.

I gave her an awkward hug, because of the books that we were both carrying, 'I'm so happy for you,' I squealed.

And as we continued our walk toward our Spanish classroom, I thought nothing at all could have the power to wipe that smile off Jessica's face.

But sadly, I was wrong.

They were both standing there, waiting for her. With their heavily made up eyes glaring at Jessica, arms crossed. Jade took a step forward in her red three inch heels.

'So, Jessica,' she sneered, 'Is loser freak here your new bestie?' Jade raised her eyebrows.

'We thought you could do better. But you can't can you?' Lauren said with a satisfied smirk on her face.

Before Jessica could think of a retort, Jade took another step forward, until her face was inches away from Jessica, 'You've sunk so low, don't ever think that we'll ever let you resurface.'

Jade then turned to me, 'Well, loser freak, looks like you've made another loser friend. One day you're going to see me getting a gold medal on the telly, sitting at home, on that sorry ass of yours in this sorry town of Forks. Let's face the facts, I'm so much better. You better watch it loser freak.'

Jade walked into the classroom without giving me a chance to speak. Lauren tilted her head when she passed me, 'Yeah, loser freak,' she said before following Jade inside.

I turned to look at Jessica, who's had the expression of someone whose whole family had just died. The devils must have meant a lot to her.

'Come on Jessica,' I said to her gently, 'We both know that they're the real losers.'

Many people have asked for more Edward/Bella scenes and such, so I will try my best to put that in the next chapter, or the one after that, it really depends :P
