"It'll be over in a second, just close your eyes," Carlisle coaxed.
"NO!" Bella screamed in her bedroom. Around her were Emmett, Carlisle and Jasper. Carlisle was holding her in opinion a deadly weapon. They were scissors.
"How can you go to school hiding your face?" Emmett asked wearily. Edward just stood at the door.
"You can't force someone to do something they don't want to do," Edward muttered, just audible enough for them to hear.
"Edward, did you ever hear a story about a pot and a kettle?" Jasper snapped at him.
"No, but it sounds interesting, care to finish it?" Edward retaliated.
"Can we carry on the problem at hand?" Carlisle said, interrupting their conversation.
"Why do you hide your face anyway?" Emmett asked Bella gently.
"It's nothing," Bella mumbled, she was trying to shy away from the boys, who were dazzling her. Emmett, Carlisle, Edward and Jasper looked at each other in bemusement.
"Tell." Edward ordered.
"No." Bella replied stubbornly.
"Tell."
"No!"
"I ASKED YOU TO TELL!"
"I. SAID. NO."
Edward grabbed Stephen and threatened to throw him out of the window. Bella tried in vain to get the anatomy doll. After a few failed attempts she agreed to tell.
"I used to be normal. I'd used to care, I'd check for pimples, try to lose weight, apply make-up and things like that. But when I was told by a person I liked I was ugly, I didn't bother anymore. If you don't look in a mirror you don't compare yourself to other people. I'm happy how I am, and I don't intend to change how I look," Bella explained.
"Who called you ugly?" Emmett asked.
"Only assholes call girls ugly," Carlisle stated. Emmett, Carlisle and Jasper turned to face Edward. Edward replied by raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, yeah Bella, our bathroom upstairs is broken so – we're going to have to use the downstairs one," Emmett said, before departing the room. Bella was too preoccupied by contemplating what had happened those years ago. They crept out of the room.
"You can't force someone to do something they don't want to do" Jasper mimicked as he closed the door. Edward walked away, ignoring Jasper's remark.
"I'm going to have a shower next," Carlisle said, walking to his room. To his dismay Edward was already headed for a shower.
Bella needed to cool off. She knew that it was hygienic to, but if it wasn't necessary she wouldn't bother. She went to have a shower.
She got her ducks ready for her shower. She stripped carefully and got ready to have a shower. She opened the door to the part of the room that was the bathroom area.
Why is the shower on? Bella wondered. Through the mist she saw something she didn't want to see. She saw the top half of Edward's naked body through the mist. She dropped the rubber ducks she carried which fell on the floor. Edward turned around, sensing there was someone. He
saw Bella's face through the steam. He stepped back and felt the window pane. In shock he grabbed a towel and opened the window. He considered his options. He looked down, it wasn't a big fall. He jumped. Bella fell onto her knees, wondering aloud what she thought he saw. Her head was dizzy.

Edward knocked frantically on the front door. He had only a towel to cover his modesty. Jasper opened the door. Edward ran inside the house and went into the living room. Carlisle came out carrying a bathrobe, because he was about to have a shower, but Emmett took it and gave it to Edward. Edward put on immediately.
"I was so freaking shocked, I jumped out," Edward shivered. Emmett and Carlisle sat next to him consoling him. Jasper sat opposite, disguising his laughs with coughs.
"So did you actually, see anything?" Emmett asked nonchalantly. Edward made a face at him which was halfway between disgusted and shocked.
"Poor Bella," Jasper said, thinking how Bella must feel. Edward sneezed.
"Yeah. Thanks for sympathizing with me too," Edward murmured, which only he heard. Edward sneezed again.
--
School. Also known as purgatory to Edward. Through the night he had developed a cold. He sneezed and pulled at his uniform. Forks High had introduced a uniform regime in the past year due to inappropriate clothes that emerged (mainly by the girl student body).
"Oh my God, it's Edward Masen."
"No, I prefer Emmett McCarty."
"Do you think Jasper Whitlock is as serious as he looks?"
"No. But my guess is that Carlisle Cullen is as sweet as he looks."
"I heard they live together. I want to live there!"
The chattering girls had returned. Edward sighed. It was a bad time to have a cold.
Bella walked slowly behind them, much to the displeasure to her fellow seniors.
"Who is that?" someone grumbled. Her companion shrugged. The rest of the girls glowered at her. They would have done something awful to Bella, had not the arrival of Alice Brandon interrupted them.
"Hey!" Alice said running towards Bella. Bella turned around and she looked at Alice. Another dazzling creature! She thought. Bella turned back around and kept her head down and walked on. Alice continued to walk beside her. The girls had walked into school, dismayed at Alice's arrival.
"Hey," Alice repeated, standing in front of Bella. She waved her fingers in front of Bella's face to attract her attention.
"Hello," Bella answered timidly.
"You're Bella aren't you?"
"Yes."
"I'm Alice Brandon!" Alice introduced. Bella stumbled on her feet. Alice grabbed her arm.
"Are you okay?" Alice asked in a concerned voice, she tried to look at Bella's eyes for reassurance, but they were hidden by her fringe.
"Yes. I lose control of my body when I see pretty people," Bella informed Alice. Alice turned to face Edward.
"Aw, she called me pretty!" Alice said whilst jumping with happiness.
"Tell someone who cares. Like Jasper." Edward said coolly. Alice hit the ground.
"What's with the attitude?" Alice demanded.
"What attitude?"
Bella stared at the two dazzling creatures argue with each other. She began to feel faint again. Edward took her by her arm and dragged her to her homeroom.
"Class. This is our n-new s-s-student, B-Bella S-Swan." The teacher stuttered. Bella didn't bother to smile. Her classmates cowered as she walked past them to an empty desk at the back of the classroom. At least he isn't in my homeroom class, Bella thought, before the yearbook committee sidled beside her and tried to take her picture. Bella threw her arms in front of her face, blocking the camera. They were unhappy with her lack of cooperation.
"Homeroom's over."
Bella ran from the room. The photographer chased after her wanting a picture. She ran past countless classrooms. She finally lost the person on her tail and she had found an unused classroom. She hid in there. She heard people running past wondering where she was. She looked at her surroundings. It was a store room for the biology lab. She looked at the preserved organs on the shelves. She sighed a happy sigh. She was finally, in heaven.
There was no one in the corridors. Bella snuck out, and headed for her first class. She was 10 minutes late. She apologised to the teacher and sat down. Safe for this lesson, she thought.
Lunch was the worst. Word had gotten around that whoever got a picture of the elusive Bella Swan's face would get 100 dollars. Bella ran unsuccessfully from classroom to classroom. She fell over a lot on the way, but she managed to pick herself up. She found an old storeroom and hid herself in there. She sat down, breathing heavily. She was nearly in hysterics. Why can't they leave me alone? She asked herself. She couldn't deal with it anymore. The door opened, hitting the wall loudly. By what she had collected so far on her first day, it was Lauren Mallory's gang. Not only did they look lethal, Lauren had a pair of scissors in her hands.
"Wow. You're good Bella, you've got the whole school after you on your first day," Lauren smirked. Her eyes concentrated on Bella, "but you do it on purpose."
"I d-don't," Bella started to say.
"You're starting to piss me off you know that? Hiding your face to attract attention from the guys. Well here's the deal honey. I'm going to cut that fringe," Lauren taunted, opening the scissors, mimicking cutting her fringe, "and then all those guys chasing you can see your ugly face."
The word ugly hit Bella like a yellow school bus. Her heart nearly stopped at the sound of the word.
"Lauren, I don't think we should mess with this girl," a girl beside her warned.
"Shut up," Lauren cautioned. She clicked her fingers and as if by hypnotism two other girls took Bella's arms.
"Stop trying to stand out," one of them whispered.
"I-I'm not t-trying to stand out," Bella said, her words almost incoherent.
"Lies."
"Hey, I wanted to check if they had anything of interest down here, and I find a gang lynching," a voice said. It was none other than Edward Masen. Edward stared at Lauren Mallory's attempt to deny anything. The two girls that had Bella pinned against the wall, let her go as if she was on fire. They threw her like a rag doll away from them. Edward ran forward to prevent Bella hitting the floor. Lauren stood there, gobsmacked. Edward took his blazer off and put it around Bella as if to tell them they couldn't touch her on his watch. Again, Bella and Edward felt as if they were the only two people existent in the world. Edward gazed into Bella's face and Bella stared at Edward's determined face. He held her close to his body, which was so unnaturally hot. He must have a fever, Bella thought. She felt guilty. She must have been the reason that he had a cold.
Lauren had successfully managed to take off the scissors off her fingers. Edward walked closer to Lauren. Lauren frantically tried to deny anything. Edward's face was inches away from hers. Lauren's fingernails hit Edward face. Edward stepped back and felt his face. He could feel a scratch.
"You just scratched Edward Masen's face," one of her followers said in a monotone. Lauren looked shocked at herself and she backed away from Edward, loathing herself for what she had done.
"It's okay, it's just a scratch," Edward declared. Bella was no longer afraid.
"Apologise," Bella hissed. Edward slumped to the floor.
"What did you say to me?" Lauren hissed back in incredulity.
"Apologise to the dazzling creature, NOW!" Bella commanded in fury and pointing at Edward.
Dazzling creature? Edward thought, he must have been dreaming. Edward blinked. When he opened his eyes, he saw the most stunning scene. He could only manage the word, "Amazing," before fainting.
"Bella is a black belt in martial arts," is all he could think about.
Carlisle, Jasper and Emmett were in the storeroom in an instant. They saw Edward on the ground, unconscious. They also saw Bella, standing over some badly beaten girls. Bella took the scissors that were on the floor. She cut her fringe.
"Now, I don't attract attention anymore? Are you people happy now?" Bella shrieked hysterically. She was nearly insane with vehemence. Jasper, Emmett and Carlisle looked at Bella in surprise. Jasper then saw Edward sprawled on the floor. Jasper ran over towards Edward and felt his head.
"He's got a temperature," Jasper clarified. Edward moaned, regaining consciousness. "Bella, take him home," Jasper instructed before reminding her, "it's partly your fault he's ill."
Bella had Emmett's help as he carried Edward to the Volvo. It was almost a miracle that the five of them could fit inside the small car.
"How are you going to get home?" Bella asked them.
"We'll take the bus home," Emmett said shrugging his shoulders. Carlisle and Jasper stood around the car.
A fan club had started to gather in the parking lot.
"Why is he going home with her?" someone wondered aloud. After it was said, there was a lot of giggling. They probably had imagined that they needed someone ugly to do the job because they could trust ugly people. Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper and Edward all said simultaneously, "We live together." Edward croaked it more than said it, but the intent was clear. The new hit the crowd like a bomb. No one made a sound or a whisper. Bella bade goodbye to Emmett, Carlisle and Jasper and drove off.
