Chapter 2 : Is she worth a bet?

(Edwards POV)

I could not believe that I said sorry to the girl that I have bullied for the past 4 years. That was my first private talk with Bella. She may have not realized it but the way she speak and everything about her did have a very great effect on me. Wait… what am I thinking? No… I don't like Bella. My friends just dared me to make friends with Bella, this is all a bet. Though I must admit Bella is very pretty and she is different from the rest of the girls.

"Hey Edward, good job" Mike said while slapping my back.

"Thanks" I grinned " So did I win the bet?"

'Well, your not yet done. Talking to Bella is the first step"

"What first step?" I asked raising my eyebrows

"Come on, do you really believe that Bella will believe you by just saying sorry to her?"

"So what's the second step?"

"Well, tonight I want you to go to her room and give her a dozen of roses?"

"Okay, that doesn't sound so hard"

" I'm not yet done, the highlight of this step is to ask her out, bring her to Sabbaro, Tyler, James and I will be there. When you finish ordering your dinner James will pass by the two of you and act that he accidentally spill the ice cream. He will pour it on Bella's dress and I will take the picture. Then I will ask Tyler to post the picture around the school." Mike finish his plan, he look so evil that I want to tell him it's so rude of him.

But I need to do this. I have to maintain my reputation as the school's hottest guy and I must not disappoint my friends. I felt sorry for Bella, she is such a good girl to deserve this kind of treatment… but I was the one who bullied her and now I felt sorry for her? Okay, I'll just do what Mike wants me to do, remember Edward your reputation is at stake. Anyways I'm not new to this, making Bella's life miserable is already my daily routine. Though I'm feeling something different right now…. I need to save Bella from another embarrassment. Yes, I need to stop this foolish routine of hurting her. It's time to move on and make friends with her. After that effect she had to me his afternoon, I couldn't allow anybody to hurt her.

" Hey, Edward you listening to me?" Mike's voice brought me back to the present

"Um… sorry I was just thinking about something." I answered immediately

" So, what can you say about the plan?"

" It is very awesome, I only taught girls like Jessica could think such plans, never expected you could that well too." I teased him

" Okay, we'll be expecting the two of you at around 7, bye"

(Bella's POV)

I couldn't believe it, Edward Cullen just said sorry to me. I couldn't believe that the boy who bullied me for almost four years just said sorry to me. I when up to my room in trance just thinking of Edwards perfect green eyes, his velvet voice and…. Wait… no… he bullied me so I must not like him. I mean he might not be truthful when he said sorry. I when inside my room and immediately called Angela.

"Oh, Gela, please answer the phone… come on" I muse

"Hi Bella" Angela's voice answered my call, "Finally" I said

"Hey, Gela do you mind talking to me for a few minutes?"

'Yeah, what do you want to tell me?"

'Well its about Edward…." I told her the rest of the story, everything he said and they way his eyes looked totally sincered.

"Oh my gosh, that is really something, I mean Edward Cullen just said sorry to you… what is he up to?"

"Yeah, I know…. Do you really think his up to something?"

"Well the way you describe his expression is something but we know it's unlikely for Edward to say sorry."

"So what will I do, I mean it would be rude for my part not to tell him anything."

" I don't know but will know it tomorrow"

I suddenly heard a knock on my door. Then I heard the velvet voice…"Bella, this is Edward, can I talk to you?" No, he is outside my door!

"Um, wait" I yelled at the door

"Hey, you have a visitor?" Angela's voice asked me from the phone.

"Yeah, and its Edward!"

"Oh, well I think I call you again later, bye"

"Bye" I answered. I when to the door and open it. There in front of me is a greek god. Edward is dress in a formal outfit. A blue polo and black pants and shoes. In his hands is a dozen of roses.

" Hi Bella. I'm sorry if I disturbed you but I just want to ask you something. Oh this is for you." He said as he handed me the flowers.

How could he do that. His green eyes were looking at me directly. I don't know what to say…

"Um, thank you. Come inside." I open the door widely for him to enter my room.

"Nice room you have." He said

Oh, why does he have to look at everything inside my room.

"So what do you want to tell me." I managed to ask him.

"Well, I was thinking do you want to go out with me? A dinner?"

"Um…. Sure. Where are we eating?"

"I'm planning to eat at Sabbaro. Is that okay with you?"

"Sure. D o you mind waiting as I get dress?"

"I'll just wait here." He smiled at me, the most breathtaking smile I've seen.

I tripped a couple of times going to the bathroom. How the hell could he do that. Smiling that way ! He might have cause a couple of fainting accidents in school. No doubt girls like him, like a very hot pancake. I don't know what to wear, I might I don't like him… okay I do like him a little but I'm not the schools whore or slut, is Jessica. At the end I decided to wear my black skinny jeans, a gray shirt, I put a black belt with diamonds around my shirt and I wear my black pumps. I look great and to complete my outfit I pick my favorite Gucci bag. I when out of the bathroom hoping he had left but there he was… handsome as always… arrrgghhh Bella stop it. Stop it.

"Hey, you look great no you look beautiful." He compliment as soon as he seen me.

"Thank you." I'm sure I look like a tomato in front of him

"So, are we ready." He ask me, again the breathtaking smile appeared.

"As all ever be." I manage to say.

I must say he is gentleman. He guided me towards his Volvo and we went to Sabbaro. I must say for a hot guy like him, girls would really go over him. The whole ride I would see him glancing at me every minute and there would be times that we would look at each other the same time. We finally arrived at Sabbaro.

"Is it okay with you if we take one of the private seats?" he smiled at me

"Sure, I really don't mind." I smile at him sheepishly

He led me to a table beside the fountain. In my own opinion it was so romantic but I have to remind myself that this is a friendly diner. The waiter ask us what we want to order. It was gross to see him trying to flirt with, yuck who the hell would want him if that is his attitude? Anyways I ordered pasta, steak and a cake. Edward ordered the same but different flavor of cake. I laugh at the idea when he told the waiter he preferred chocolate cake than mocha.

"Looks like someone is flirting with someone." He smirked

"Oh, come on who the hell will like him, I mean with that attitude I'd rather go to convent and become a nun. " I was shock I said those things. My little rant just cause him to smirk some more. I glowered at him but he just smiled at me.

Our orders arrive and I must admit the food is so delicious. After a few minutes I heard someone saying hi to both of us.

"Hi Edward, Bella. It's nice to see the two of you going out." Mike excuse himself because his friends Tyler and James also arrived.

I look at Edward and he look so mad, no confuse.

"Hey, is there something wrong?" without thinking I place my hands on his. The moment I did it I get my hands

"No everything is perfectly fine." He smile as he took my hands and hold it. I blushed instantly.

We look at each others eyes in silence. I don't know how long are we doing it but I like it, though I know Edward and I could only be friends.

"Hey Bella, Edward." I look up to see who is speaking, it is James. I suddenly notice Edward look tense… what's wrong?

"Hey James, that's a very delicious ice cream." I said grinning at him

"Thanks Bella, do you want some?"

"Oh, no thanks."

"No, look you could have some, here." He place the ice cream in front of my face and suddenly everything on my face when cold. Aarrggh he spilled the ice cream on my face and the worst part is…

"Hey, Bella smile." I heard Tyler laughing while taking my photos with ice cream on my face. I want to melt, everyone in the restaurant are laughing at me, except Edward. He look sorry. I ran outside the restaurant and cried. How could I fall for such scheme, of course they planned all of this. Edward saying sorry, the roses, the ice cream. How could I believe everything that Edward told me. He might think I'm a stupid person. I look around me, I need to go home. I want to home. I'll just walk going home or take a bus but I will not ride again in Edwards stupid Volvo. I heard a car behind me stop.

"Bella, please listen to me." Edward pulled my arm, making me face him.

"What do you want Edward, your pretty little scheme has been successful or is there another part?" I look at him so fiercely that I want to cry in front of him. How dare him treat me like this. Making me think that he really want to made friends with me. Stupid Bella, stupid.

"Please, Bella allow me to explain." He pleaded, his eyes were full of remorse.

"No, Edward this is enough. I gave you the chance to make friends with me. It is your fault you wasted it. I'm a stupid person to believe everything that you said. How dare you treat me like that. Who do you think you are. Well, of course the hottest and coolest guy in school" I made quotations marks in the air. "Who am I, nobody right, I am nobody so it is just alright for you to do anything you want to do with. You don't care how I feel every time you insult me in front of the school, every time you take my assignments, every time you hurt me physical." I could feel tears sliding down my cheeks, I don't care. "You know you are not as cool as you think you are Cullen, you are the most stupid, self-centered, idiot person I've meet in this world. I don't even know why girls go crazy over you, I mean making-out with different girls each day what kind of person is that. How dare you bet against me, how much do I cost Edward? So please don't think that I would ever believe anything that you will say because you are a player and a liar Edward Cullen. I hate everything about you, I hate myself for believing you." After my very long speech I run as fast as I can until I reach a bus stop going to the direction of my home. I ride it feeling relieved that I said everything to Edward.

(Edwards' POV)

I stood there for a long time, absorbing everything that Bella said. I know she is right, how dare I treat her like that, I must have disgust her with my attitudes. I know I shouldn't bet against her but I have my reputation. I like Bella so much, I just don't know why she doesn't like me but after what she said I think I already know the reason. I need Bella's trust again, I need her. I know she is the only person who can change me.
