Wow

Love the reviews!

Chapter 4-

I took a long shower after detention. And it seemed as if I needed it more than I thought I would. I had to drain all my feelings for Edward. He was no good and I was sure of it. I don't care if he got mad at me for believing a rumor. I was right, and I was going to prove it.

It was-surprisingly-a nice day out in Forks the next day. The sun shone through my window and gave me a giddy feeling inside that lasted all the way until lunch.

"Edward Cullen is staring at you."

Then it was gone.

I turned to see Jessica looking at a few tables in front of us.

Sure enough, Edward was looking at me. But I nearly fell off my chair when I saw his expression. He wasn't smiling today. I barely recognized him. The usual girls that were surrounding him were completely invisible to him. I'm surprised they were still talking when he looked so preoccupied. He looked so confused.

One of the girls, a blond, looked at me and scowled. She then grabbed Edward's face and turned it towards his direction and she held it there-talking animatedly as if she never stopped.

Edward's eyes then slid to the corner and shot back to me.

What was his problem? Was it something I said yesterday? Maybe he's wondering why I haven't fell for him yet.

I made my way to Biology, sulking. I don't think I could take an hour of Edward staring at me.

But when I got to class, I found my lab table empty. And although the previous thought registered in my mind, I was kind of disappointed. Where had he gone?

After about fifteen minutes, I couldn't take it anymore. I needed to find Edward and see what his problem is.

I raised my hand and Mr. Smith sighed and called on me.

"Yes, Ms. Swan?" He replied, a tad annoyed that I interrupted his lesson which he seemed to be so engrossed in.

I gulped and blushed, knowing I was a terrible liar. "May I go to the nurse? I don't…feel so good." I added a pause hoping it would disguise my bad acting skills.

Mr. Smith looked concerned for a brief moment, and then spoke in a lazy tone. "Yes, you'll need a pass though. Can somebody please take her?"

I groaned when Mike raised his hand eagerly and made his way over to me.

"Really Mike, I'm fine." I sighed.

"Don't be silly." He said and pulled my forearm, eager for me to leave the room alone with him.

I cringed when his clammy hand touched me but he didn't seem to notice.

I didn't even need to go to the nurse. I just wanted to find Edward and have him explain things.

I froze where I was walking and my heart skipped a beat.

Up against the wall near the water fountain was the blond I spotted annoying Edward. And, the devil himself was sharing an intense lip lock with her. Edward looked angry and his eyes were shut tight, a little too tight.

I let out a disgusted noise, signaling them to stop because I couldn't watch any longer.

Edward looked up a little too fast and the blond trying to grab his head again, but he shooed her off.

He looked like he was expecting me. Or he just didn't care. He gave me a small smirk as if to say 'I win.'

Yes, I was right.

It was when the blond cleared her throat that I finally closed my slightly opened mouth and looked up to see her icy blue eyes scowling at me again, the same expression she gave me in lunch.

"Do you mind?" She said in a nasty tone.

"Uh, yes. I do. Is there any reason you have to do that here? Or is this the place where you bring all your girls, Edward?" I scoffed.

"No." He replied, not bothered. "But we didn't make it outside. Couldn't keep our hands off each other." He said, raising an eyebrow.

I grimaced.

The blond tugged on Edward's shirt and seemed more eager to get her hands on him, now that she heard what he said.

"We'll be leaving then." Edward said, still not taking his eyes off me. "I'll see you around, Bella."

Why did his voice have to be so alluring? I mean his looks were bad enough to resist, but the voice? Ugh, I needed help.

When we got to the nurse I shooed Mike off but he still seemed unbothered by it. There was a pixie-like girl sitting in one of the chairs helping a classmate put on a bandage.

"Hi!" She said, startling me when I made my way to the nurse's desk. "What the matter?" She asked, concerned now.

"I'm not feeling too good." I repeated the lie.

"Hmm you look fine to me. But here's some ice chips anyway." She said as I took it and sat down to the student who was getting bandaged.

He was tall, I could tell even though he was sitting down. And had long silky black hair. He was naturally tan and he had piercing dark eyes.

"What happened to your knee?" I asked him.

His lips pulled up, exposing his white teeth. "Fell off my motorcycle on my way here and it just started bleeding again."

It was a good thing that his bandage was already on or I'm sure I would've fainted from the smell of blood. "You ride a motorcycle here?" I asked, ignoring the original question I asked him.

"Yea, well I'm a little too young to be drivin' a car." He said, playing with his bandage. "But I get my license next year." He said quickly.

The girl with the wild black hair spoke again. "Haha. Yea Jake's just a little bit too young for his size."

"Jake…" I said, realizing I didn't get his name yet.

"Jacob Black." He offered me his hand, which I gladly took.

"Bella Swan." I said when his hand enveloped around mine. If he squeezed any harder, my knuckles were sure to break.

"And I'm Alice," the pixie girl said. "I help out around here on my lunch hour." She smiled but went to attend to a student who came in, itching his arms and legs.

"Oh, you're Chief Swan's daughter?" Jacob asked.

"Yeah." I said, musing. Black. Sounded familiar.

"Oh you have my dad's old Chevy" He said, putting on an adorable smile.

"Rightt, you're Billy Black's son. I should've known that." I said.

"So how do you like the truck?" He said, a bit worried at my response.

"I love it!" I said, a little too over enthused.

His smile grew even wider. "That's great!" He returned my enthusiasm.

We sat there for the next fifteen minutes just talking about all sorts of things. From movies, to music, to families. And we figured out that we knew each other for a while.

Alice looked over at us, looking like cupid. She didn't interrupt or tell us we had to go back to class. I could see myself getting along with her.

"So, hey." Jacob said suddenly. "There's this indoor pool party tonight at eight. It's something for teenagers that Forks throws a few times a year. Do you wanna go?"

"Isn't it a little cold for that?" I said wrapping my arms around myself, noticing for the first time that it was a bit cold in here too.

"Naw, it's a heated pool. So what do you say?" He asked his eyes bright with excitement.

I thought about it for a second. A flash of Edward making out with that snooty blond and how it seemed like he did this all the time. I might as well get over it and go to this pool party.

I returned the smile Jacob had on his face. "Sure, why not."

--

A/N-Yes a bit longer than the other chapters.

Edward was not so much in here but the next one he will be-a lot.
