Next Chapter, you either might hate it or love it but don't hurt me okay? haha but please do Review!

I do not own any of the Twilight characters.

"So are you a freshman or sophomore?" I asked James as we walked side by side towards the building I was once looking for.

"I'm a sophomore" I looked over at him raising an eyebrow

"Then what are you doing in my class?' He smirked and pointed a finger at me

"Because you are actually in a high honors class, that's why I was a little surprised you were in it, not a lot of freshman can handle a class like this their first year" I nodded along with his explanation, I wasn't nervous though, English came easily to me I could keep up.

"I'm just really good at it I guess" he smiled, clasping his hands behind his back leaning over towards me

"So you're a genius then?" I laughed shaking my head

"No I wouldn't say I'm a genius but I'm not dumb either"

"Well then I'm going to have to say I'm a little intrigued by you" I blushed and bit down on my lower lip. We passed through the buildings doors and I felt a lot better, for a second I was afraid I would start sweating through my shirt, which was gross.

"I'm kind of seeing somebody…" I said slowly averting my eyes from his gaze. He stopped us in front of a door where other kids were filing in

"Well that can change" he murmured lowering his head so he was eye level with me. My face got even redder and I turned away before there could be a repeat of last night with Jacob.

"Thanks for helping me out" I started to walk backward toward the door, watching as a smile spread across his lips

"Anytime" again he was giving me that same look as last night, the one were he was eyeing me in an odd way.

I turned away and walked into the class before I could think anything serious about it and picked a seat toward the back. Luckily this room was A/CD so I wouldn't have to worry about passing out from heat exhaustion. I looked up from my desk seeing that James had picked a seat toward the front, where he was surrounded by some of the guys he was with last night.

My classes were all pretty basic, I hadn't really picked a major yet so I paid attention in all of them hoping to figure out what I was interested in. English was a piece of cake and I kept up with my notes and readings.

After a long day of classes I walked into my dorm room surprised to see Alice already home. She was lying on her bed flipping through a magazine but when she saw me she put it down immediately and jumped up from her bed

"Good your home!" she smiled grabbing me by the hand and leading me over to my own bed. She sat me down and then settled in next to me. I looked over at her suspiciously, I could just tell by the look on her face that she was planning something.

"What is it?" I asked warily. Her smile widened

"Your birthdays tomorrow!" I rolled my eyes; I hated the thought of getting another year older, especially when it was as old as nineteen.

"Please just look excited, now I have already planned out your-"

"No party!" I snapped cutting her off. She pouted folding her arms over her chest

"Bella please!" she whined widening her eyes to try and make me feel sorry for her but if I went along with any kind of party that she planned I would only be feeling sorry for myself.

"No" I said stubbornly, imitating Alice by crossing my own arms.

"What if it's just all of us hanging out?" that smile was back and I shrugged

"I don't know…" I said quietly, I wasn't sure if I could be in the same room as Edward right now.

"If it's about Edward don't worry about him, I talked to him after you left," she scrunched up her face in distaste "Until Tanya came along" she practically spat out her name, like it was dirt in her mouth

"Yeah I saw him and her together today" she stuck out her tongue gagging, I laughed she hated Tanya just as much as I did

"I know what he's trying to do; he's trying to make you jealous"

I sighed "Is it so wrong that he could possibly like her?"

"He does not!" she shot back, defending her brother's insane mind.

"Well it looks like he does" either that or he was great at acting. She got up then heading over toward the door

"I'm going to go talk to him and straighten this all out"

"No!" I yelled jumping up from the bed myself. She already had the door open but stopped from my shouting. I didn't want her going down there to straighten things out, that was all Edward's business not mine and not hers, I was still his friend after all.

"Is it so wrong to think that his world doesn't always have to revolve around us" I was right Edward spent way too much time with his family and me, he needed to break out and meet knew people because I sure have.

"No his world should only be revolving around you" she retorted but shut the door anyways

"Alice for the last time Edward and I will never go out again"

"You can't mess with fate Bella, you can avoid it all you want but its going to happen" she smiled confidently.

I groaned falling back down on my bed

"We should go out to dinner again tonight" she suggested collapsing on her own bed. I shook my head, I would not sit there awkwardly again jut like last night. But then my eyes widened and I smiled

"Can I bring Jacob?" I asked looking over at her. She stared at me for a long minute, her eyes tightening the slightest bit

"No" she said coldly

"C'mon Alice he's really nice, you'll like him"

"I won't like anybody who screws things up with you and Edward" I glared at her

"You're pushing it" I warned. She snorted and began examining her nails. She let out a long breath making me smile; she was giving in

"Fine you can bring what's his name"

"Jacob and thank you"

I closed my eyes after that feeling tired from walking around so much. The campus was huge and I had gotten lost so many times today all I did was walk in circles.

I was really only planning on taking a short nap since I still had to go down and find Jacob to let him know about tonight but when I woke up again the sky was a bright pink and the moon was already up.

Alice was through the open bathroom door spiking up her hair when I got up out of bed. She noticed my reflection in the mirror and smiled

"Your outfits hanging up in the closet" I smiled gratefully, in no mood to go rummaging through my things.

"I have to go downstairs and tell Jacob we're going" I sighed laying the outfit she picked out for me on my bed. She popped her head through the open bathroom door

"No worries I already told him" I smiled as she disappeared again "Oh and Edward's bringing Tanya" she called out to me.

"Great" I muttered under my breath brushing out my hair. This night was going to be fantastic.

Half an hour later we were both ready and dressed already knocking on Rosalie's door. She opened up as she pushed an earring through her lobe

"Tanya their here" she said rolling her eyes stepping out into the hall "I swear that girl spends more time in the mirror than all of us put together" she whispered. I smirked looking down at my feet. Tanya stepped out moments later looking perfect as ever, wearing tight fitting clothes that left little to the imagination.

"Desperate" Alice said into my ear so she couldn't hear. I let out a laugh but quickly covered it up with a cough trying not to draw attention to myself.

We walked down the halls in silence. I was getting a little excited to see Jacob again. After seeing Tanya and Edward together today I finally realized that I shouldn't wait for him anymore. He was happy and now so was I. Jacob had a way of putting a smile on my face and he made me feel so comfortable, he did everything that Edward used to do to me, even make my mind get all hazy.

Alice started to knock on Jasper's door while Tanya did the same for Edward's. I stood beside Rosalie waiting for either door to open. Edward's was first and he stepped out letting Tanya hug him. I looked over at them out of the corner of my eye and saw that he was doing the same towards me. I quickly looked away smiling when I felt Jacob come up behind me and grab a hold of my hand.

"Hey" he whispered into my ear. I turned myself around still smiling. I wouldn't let Edward get to me tonight; all I wanted to do was have my fun with Jacob.

We walked down the streets in our respectable pairs towards the same restaurant as last night. Jacob held my hand the whole way and ahead of us Edward did the same with Tanya. I tried not to look at them but sometimes my eyes would slip and I would catch them laughing, or talking, or just walking in silence.

Jacob was next to me just chatting away but I wasn't listening, I would only nod along every now and then hoping he wouldn't be offended at my lack of attention but when Tanya would look at Edward in that seductive and flirtatious way I just about wanted to burst. She was a horrible match for him and being the role as his friend shouldn't I say something? No I wouldn't say anything, he would find out on his own soon enough and she would be gone.

We got the same hostess as the night before and also the same table. Jacob sat down next to me but this time Edward sat on the other end of the table but still opposite to us next to Tanya.

I felt hungrier tonight and I looked down at my menu eyeing anything that made me mouth water. Jacob nudged me by the elbow and I looked over seeing he was pointing down at something on his own menu. I leaned in closer to see what he was pointing at and when my face was close enough he kissed my cheek lightly making me blush. I turned even redder when I felt his breath on my ear

"You look really beautiful tonight" he whispered making me smile. It was really kind of stupid of him to trick me like that but it was sweet none the less.

I heard someone clearing their throat from the table and when I looked up I met Edward's eyes. He was staring at the two of us and I immediately leaned back into my seat. Jacob smirked next to me making Edward even more annoyed.

"So Jacob, I don't think I've asked before but what are your studies here?" Edward asked in a tone that lacked interest or curiosity, I had a funny feeling he was just doing it to annoy me.

"Auto Mechanics" he replied setting down his menu as did Edward. I smiled over at him, I hadn't pictured him as the mechanic type but then again that magazine should have given it away.

"I didn't know that" Jacob smiled back. We stared up at one another, his eyes were roaming my face and I bit down on my lip guessing that he probably wanted to kiss me or something.

"Oh so you find that fixing cars for low wages is a respectable career"

My eyes shot over to Edward who had a smirk on his face. I could feel my face getting hot and I wanted nothing more but to hit him across the face. Why was he being so rude? I hadn't said one thing to Tanya at all tonight but yet here he is trying to get back at me for something I never did, unless she was telling lies.

"Edward" I hissed. The whole table was watching us now. Edward stared over at me, his eyes tightening and his lips pressing into a hard line.

"It's okay Bella" Jacob said not feeling at all affected by what Edward had just said. I looked back at him with wide eyes

"No it's not okay" I snapped turning back to Edward

"Or do you want me to start cross examining your girlfriend, Edward?" my gaze shifted over towards Tanya who was beaming at the word girlfriend.

I scowled resting my arms on the table. Edward didn't look at all happy but he was the one who started it, he deserved what I just handed to him: the hope that Tanya could now consider herself his girlfriend.

I kept my eyes on his; I could see the anger written all over his face. He had clenched his jaw shut, his eyes getting darker by the second. My own blood was boiling too; the air was thick with the resentment I felt towards him this night.

"I don't know what I ever saw in you…" I whispered breaking the silence.

Edward's mask broke and he started to frown as he finally looked away from me. I knew those were harsh words but I didn't know what else to say, this was like the Edward I had known back at home. The self-centered guy who thought he was God and found pleasure in making fun of other people.

I pushed back my chair and excused myself taking one last look over at Edward. He looked upset, like the same saddened expression he was wearing the night I broke up with him. Before I had thought I had made a mistake for ending it like that but now I was fast realizing it was my best decision.
