Hello reader/readers! Wassup? Nothing much? Yeah…I thought so…just had a hunch. I'm gonna try something new for the disclaimer!

Disclaimer: I shall own Twilight!
Edward: No you won't!
Me: *takes out lighter* You sure about that?
Edward: *takes out Twilight book and starts to rip it*
Me: NOO! Fine…I don't own Twilight…or any of its characters…Stephenie Meyer does.

Bella POV

I was confused for a lack of better word. He was talking to me. No one ever talks to me. Until Edward Cullen came along, the only time someone spoke to me was to make fun of me, or curse me.

Except for Angela. She was the only person here friendly to me.

Edward and I kept talking until class started.

Then, I felt something hit my arm. I looked down to find a folded piece of paper. It was probably something offensive.

Oh well, I might as well open it. It's either that or get a beating after school. Which has happened before.

I slowly opened the letter. It read:

"You better, like, stay away from MY Eddie! He'll never like you! You stupid little *censored*! (A./N. When it says censored use your imagination.) If I, like, see you talking to him again, I'll like, bust your ugly little face off! - Jessica"

I figured that's what it would say.

That's when I noticed Edward looking over my shoulder at the note. His expression was furious.

Uh-oh. He had saw the note. I looked away from him and acted like I was paying attention to the teacher.

During the entire hour, I could feel Edward's eyes on me, burning holes into the side of my head.

BBBRRRRIIINNNNGGGG!

Finally the bell! I don't think I could've stood another minute of that. Wow, that's cliché, Saved by the bell.

"Bella?" a pained voice asked from behind me.

I turned around, already knowing who the voice belonged to, and looked into the eyes of Edward.

They were full of fury and pain. But why?

"Why do people do that to you Bella?" He was asking about the letter.

"Because I deserve it. I'm plain, stupid, clumsy, and nobody likes me. Why would they?" I looked down at me feet and felt the all too familiar tears spring to my eyes.

I felt a cold finger pull my chin up. There was electricity. A warm buzzing. But it felt nice.

"You are NOT plain. You are far from plain Isabella," he said using my full name, "You're beautiful and most likely smart. Though you are clumsy, but I think it's cute. And if nobody liked you, then why am I standing here talking to you?" He started wiping away the tears that had started falling.

He was just saying all of those things out of pity. Why would anyone like me? I'm not beautiful, or smart, or graceful. I'm just plain Bella.

This made me cry harder, and he wrapped his arms around me. This just felt so right. But what could he possibly see in me.

After I finished crying, I looked back up at him and took in his tear-stained shirt.

"I'm sorry," I apologized.

"Nonsense. You needed a good cry," he still had me in his arms. I noticed all the glares directed at us…well…me.

I was definitely going to get a beating after school.

"Okay, what class do you have next?" he asked.

"Geometry."

He smiled. "I do, too. I'll walk with you again…if I may?"

"I don't know…that note…"

"Don't worry I'll protect you," he stated. He sounded so sincere.

I finally nodded, "Okay."

Halfway to class, we met Jessica.

"You *censored*! I thought I, like, told you to stay away from him!" she screamed at me.

"You have no right to talk to Bella that way Jessica," Edward retorted. He really was protecting me, "Just because I'm not paying attention to you doesn't mean you have to take it out on Bella."

"Uh, yeah it does! Well, you are new here. Apparently you haven't saw the rule list yet." She then handed him the list of rules…all about me of course.

"Rules?" he asked…he was so cute when he was confused…Wait! What? No, I can't think that when he probably has a girlfriend, or doesn't have feelings for me.

"Like, yeah! Rule 1: If you're mad, take it out on the Ugly Duckling! A.K.A That thing" she said, referring to me.

"You're insane!" Edward said perplexed.

He then took my hand and we quickly walked - stumbled for me - away from Jessica and to our Geometry class.

A./N. Well…it's 12:13 AM and I'm kinda tired but I finished this chapter! WOO! Also, my chapters are getting longer! I'm so proud of myself! Well, that was awkward… Review!
