BPOV

Alice had refused to let it go, all night, and for the most part of that morning, she had been drilling me with alien questions about Edward, about Tanya, trying to discover any secrets I hadn't already told her.

She had pleaded with me to tell her a truth that I did not know myself yet. The truth was, that I didn't have a clue what was happening in my life, at all, I was confused, in the dark and just plain annoyed. I had these two years of high school planned out, I was to move to Forks, to blend my plain self into the crowd just as usual, just get on with what I had left of high school, and move on to College, where I could just start over, start fresh. That was the plan. And I had decided that no one, not even the gorgeous Edward Cullen, could stray me from that plan.

But now Forks, held some problems, Tanya had an unexplainable hatred towards me, Edward was just- well Edward and last night out of the blue, I had received a phone call from Mike Newton of all people declaring his un dying love for me, which had caused Alice to roll around on my living room floor in fits of uncontrollable laughter, as he was unfortunately on speaker phone.

But now it was morning and the grilling had begun yet again.

"Seriously Bella, You made me watch high school football, while you drooled over this unknown boy and you don't expect me to think anything of it?" She whined " And then you get ambushed by a group of angry Cheerleaders, which by the way made my day, and then you proceed to tell me that you don't know what it was for!" she continued, "Bella how long have I know you? Bella? Forever is how long! There is something you are not telling me, I'll find out Bella, I will find out"

"For the last time Alice, I'll tell you when I know. But honestly I don't know what is happening"

I was only half lying, with only just guessing I had a pretty good idea what had happened, for some strange reason Edward had given our friendship as an excuse to Tanya for their break up, and now she had it all wrong and hated me.

Why couldn't he have just told her the truth? That he liked someone else, why did he have to lie and say me? He must've known she was going to react in the typical way. He must've known that I was going to get the whiplash from his ingenious excuses and he could've at least guessed or given me some warning of what Tanya was going to do, and say.

"Earth to Bella!" Alice was waving in my face.

"Sorry, just thinking"

"More like lying" she pouted, no one could deny Alice from anything when she made that face, it was a strange move that she had mastered unknowingly, and even her new dark look couldn't affect its ways,

"Fine Alice, I have been tutoring that Edward you saw me wave at last night" I sighed and continued "You know I don't fall for guys like that Alice, but when we were on our own he was just so, so different, it was weird at first, because sometimes, he's just as jackass and other times, he's, he's I don't know, just caring, kind and fun to be with, my Edward."

"You're Edward!" She shrieked.

"Let me finish, I thought I had started to fall for him, stupid I know, but I couldn't help it. Obviously he didn't feel the same way, just friends, he made it perfectly clear, so I settled for that, being just friends, plus he had a girlfriend, Tanya, and she is like the most popular girl in school, but then they broke up, he told me he liked someone that I didn't know, and obviously from last night he had lied to Tanya"

"Or you" Alice interrupted with a knowing look.

"No he wouldn't lie to me" I stated

"How do you know Bella? Has he ever said he just wanted to be friends?"

"Well not those words exactly." I was interpreted by my cell buzzing out of my pocket,

"Hello? Bella?" I familiar voice chimed.

"Edward, are you ok?"

"Fine thanks, what are you doing? I need to talk to you about something" He sounded anxious

"Fire away Edward."

"No in person, meet me at the basketball court in an hour, please?"

"Erm ok. Why"

"I'll explain later, Bye Bells"

And with that, the line was gone.

"What was that about Bella?" Alice piped up.

"Erm nothing, he wants to talk, in person, you'll be ok for a bit right?"

"Sure sure, you have thousands of DVDs."

She said adding a sarcastic tone, as she looked over to my small pile of films that consisted of, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare in Love, King Arthur, Pirates of the Caribbean and a few other old classics.

"Come on Alice, You know I'm a book kind of girl" I joked.

"Yer, yer I know Bella, go on you'll be late"

"I have an hour Alice!"

"But you're not going out in public to meet a boy like that, plus we are going out for dinner as soon as you get back so you need to look half decent."

"Aw Alice, I'll be fine as I am"

"Next joke Bells" she scoffed as she dragged me across the room and up my narrow stairs and started playing Barbie Bella.

True to her word an hour later she had finished, she had washed my hair in a shining thing and it was gently curled into loose waves along my back, shining in the bathroom lights. Subtly she had covered my eyes in mascara and eyeliner, but had refused to cover my apparently perfect skin.

I was infact allowed to dress myself, as she admitted she couldn't for this unusually cold climate, I had on my dark blue v-neck woollen dress, black patterned tights and black ankle boots, and a colourful scarf.

"You'll do for later" Alice smiled as I got into my car to head to the court, which I had never actually been before.

As I drove, I couldn't help but think what Edward really needed to talk about. Maybe he wanted to explain the whole Tanya situation, maybe he wanted to help sort her out for me, because I honestly had no clue, Alice was leaving tomorrow night, to avoid my Dad as she had a disliking towards him for a reason that beseeched me. But without Alice, I had no guidance or advice on the whole situation, I could talk to Ange, but I doubted she would have any experience in this situation.

Also as I drove, I thought about the many things Alice and I had discussed, and I decided I was going to tell Edward, that I didn't want to tutor him anymore, it didn't ease any of situations his being around constantly distracting me all the time, and with my Dads return looming it wouldn't be possible anyway.

Before I knew it I was there, at the court and I could see him standing at the far end, I could see him even through the rain.

Damm. I had forgotten an umbrella, Oh well, who cares apart from Alice anyways. I thought as I stepped out into the rain.

"Hey" I sighed and tapped his shoulder.

EPOV (His morning)

I woke to a loud pattering of rain against the window. Wait, it wasn't even my window, where was I?

As I sat up and felt my pulse beat strong against my skull the whole night came rushing back to me, we had won the game, there had been an after party, why did I have these images of Tanya and Bella, and a little pixie. Ok maybe Emmett had let me get high; I was going to kill him.

Then I recognised where I was, Emmett's house. And with a hangover, great, I needed aspirin.

Quickly pulling on my hoodie and jeans I headed down stairs and ran into Emmett and his parents sat quietly round the breakfast table.

"Hey, Cullen, you look rough this morning" he said, ushering me to sit down.

"Thanks Em" I added a weak smile as I grabbed a piece of toast.

"Ok boys, were off now, we'll be back on Monday, be good" and Emmett's parents were gone.

"Woo! House party!" Emmett chanted, but stopped as I glared at him.

"Emmett what happened last night? I can't remember a thing"

"Ha-ha, you were so wasted, Cullen, we had to leave Tanya's party early, plus that and you told her you were in love with that geek Swan, Tan totally believed you, it was great, she flipped, breaking all her plates and stuff, it was hilarious, she just kept screaming at you, but you just laughed."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, honestly it was the funniest thing I had seen in a while."

"Hmm, sounds it" I mumbled through a bite of toast.

"What's happening with you and Tanya anyway?"

"We broke up, like three days ago?"

"No way! How come you didn't; tell us?"

"Dunno, no one asked I guess"

"So you and Swan, is that something?"

"Don't be stupid Em" I lied. I wish

"Well, I suppose that's good, she isn't one of us" he stood up and started to clear away.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I barked.

"Come on, you know what I mean, I know she's cute and all, but I mean you have Tanya"

"I don't want Tanya" I confirmed through my teeth, honestly if he didn't shut up soon I was going to have to hit him. Then Rose would be pissed.

"Whatever, you guys do this all the time, together, apart, together, apart, it's how you work, everyone knows that. I'm having a party tonight, talk to her sort things out."

"You are so single minded Emmett"

"And you're a women, Cullen, get over it, it was funny, plus that Swan held her own when Tanya said something before,"

"Before? I interrupted

"Yes, just before the party, Tanya must've said something to the little weird one she was with, but swan just bit back, I don't know what happened really, didn't hear anything or see much. Hey where are you going? Ok go ring Tan, probably a good idea."

But I couldn't hear him, as I was walking out side, to my car, to ring her, to ring Bella.

BPOV

"So Edward you wanted to talk?" he looked confused.

"Yeh, wow you look beautiful Bella". He smiled. Maybe Tanya wasn't lying, snap of it Bella.

"Erm, thanks," I blushed and dropped my eyes to the floor.

"Well, I wanted to know, Are you ok? I don't know what Tanya said to you, but... "

Oh he felt guilty,

"Edward, its fine, pretty sure she was lying, I understand, don't worry I haven't got myself disillusioning that I like you or anything, I mean you'd tell me right" I joked.

"What? Bella, I'm really confused. What happened?"

Ok, now what do I say, in this moment he was acting as my Edward, not the Edward Cullen I knew. And with those green eyes, I could get lost in them all day.

Bella, snap out of it! You are not a teenage girl, who falls for intriguing, annoying but beautiful jocks.

"Well... Tanya was under the impression that you broke up with her for me, but don't worry, I set her straight, but I think you two need to talk." I smiled timidly, kicking myself for telling the truth.

"Hmm" He grinned "Why did you set her straight?" He was obviously teasing me, he had put his Cullen guard back up, we weren't going to get anywhere.

"Hilarious Cullen"

"I hate in when you call me that, only the team or teachers all me that" he looked down.

"Well, so do I, when you are acting like a pig"

"Pig! Thanks" he scoffed. Great, now I am going to have to explain.

"I meant sometimes you're an idiot, like at school, when you are trying to impress people, and just a minute ago, and then sometimes you're not"

"Which do you prefer Bella? Me being Cullen or Edward"

"Do you really have to ask? I don't appreciate the teasing at school" I joked, nudging him in the elbow.

"Well, I like my Bella self more as well, but people wouldn't understand."

"I actually know what you mean."

Silence.

"Edward..."

"Way he's back" he smiled, interrupting me.

"For God Sake, Edward, I don't think I should tutor you anymore, you're clever you just needed help catching up, now that you are caught up, then I don't think I'll be much help."

"Ok, whatever best for you, Bells, I trust you, anyway I'll see you enough without those lessons."

His green eyes bore down into mine and he smiled.

"See you later Swan" He turned and begun to walk into the rain.

"Hey Cullen, Edward!" He turned back around.

"What was Tanya talking about, you never told me, was she telling the truth" I joked.

"I'll tell you later at Emmett's party" he winked.

"Fuck you Cullen" I smiled.

"I wish you would" he grinned as he got into his car with a quick wave.

Eugh, I hated this Cullen stuff, it was like Jekyll and Hyde, I hated that book, and I wanted to punch Hyde, just like I wanted to punch Cullen

Even after our talk, I still had no idea what was happening, I was going to have to drag Alice to that party, Damit, I hated Edward Cullen.
