A/N: YAY!!! I got to go on the computer and I wrote this in about a 30 min. I'm so proud!!!

Chapter 8: Strike One

As soon as I sat down on the couch with Alice to watch some TV all the questions started bugging me.

Why did Edward hate me? Did I do something to aggravate him? Will he always be mad at me? Will he get over it? Was he just pissed because he might have some competition? Or was it something else all together? I had the feeling it was a little of both.

Suddenly I got an idea.

"Alice I just thought of the best way to get back at Edward."

I quickly told her the plan and she was all for it.

The next day I woke up very happy. Last night I had gone over to Edward's dorm with Alice when he was at a party to set my plan in action. This morning I should get my happiness. I hopped in the shower quickly, grabbed a breakfast bar, and headed out to class.

When I got to class everyone else was there except for Edward. As soon as the bell rung Edward came running in. And man did he make an entrance.

He came in wearing a bright pink shirt and shorts. Not only that, but the shirt also had two holes on the chest so you could see his nipples. Also he had 2 bigger holes on his butt so you could see his butt cheeks. Lastly I looked up to his face to see that he didn't even seem phased.

"Dude what's with the new outfit?" one of his buddies asked.

"Oh this?" he questioned "I was in the mood for a new look."

My jaw dropped open. He didn't even seem to care!

Lauren jumped out of her chair and ran up to Edward.

"Eddy, I love your new look." Lauren said while running her hands down his side.

Edward cringed and pushed Lauren of off him. Lauren huffed and ran back to her seat.

"Thank you Mr. Cullen for that entrance but please take a seat!" Mr. Barntag said.

When Edward sat down next to me he whispered in my ear "Nothing can bring me down."

I just huffed and looked away.

"Class, I hope you all have been working on your performances!"

Shoot, I forgot about that.

"When I call you up I want you to tell me what you will be performing and I will set up our after school private lesson."

Shit.

I nervously tapped my foot as everyone went up one by one until he called my name.

"Bella Swan."

I walked slowly and hesitantly up to Mr. Barntag's desk.

"So Bella what are you doing for the performance?"

"Umm, well I actually haven't gotten a chance to think about it."

"Bella Baby! You need to hurry up and figure it out because I'm meeting with you tomorrow baby!"

"Don't worry Mr. Barntag; I'll have my act by tomorrow."

"Thank you, baby doll."

When I sat down I found a piece of paper on my desk. (Bold is Edward, Italic is Bella)

All the pressure too much to handle?

How did you hear our conversation?

I have super hearing.

Very funny. But I do believe it is none of your business.

Well, don't let the pressure get to you.

Oh my god! Is THE Edward Cullen actually being considerate about someone else?

I'm not really a dickhead like everyone makes me out to be.

Somehow I doubt that.

You shouldn't believe everything people tell you. Maybe, just maybe it's not true.

Well I normally don't believe what I hear but how you act around me just proves my point.

The reason I act like such a jerk is because-

Ring… Ring…

As soon as he was about to write down the reason the bell rung.

Ughh!!! Damn it.

Edward just gave me a sympathetic look and walked out of the classroom.

So close!

I grabbed my bag and ran to my next class.

After my long day of classes I ran to meet Alice and Rose for dinner.

"So guess what happened." I said. "Edward walks into class with his clothes all messed up. Then one of his friends questioned his outfits and Edward just says 'I wanted a new look.' And they all believe him! Then he has the nerve to tell me, nothing is going to bring him down."

"Well, I kind of figured its going to take a lot more then that to bring him down." Alice said.

"Ughh, it was such a waste of time though!"

"Well, we'll just have to see what tomorrow brings us."
