Thank you guys so much for reviewing, it means the world to mean that you like my story! :)


BPOV:

The clock read 7:15am.

I had been up since six in the morning, not being able to get any sleep.

Edward would be driving me to school today, whether I liked it or not.

Even if I planned to walk to school, I'm pretty sure he would have dragged me to, and strapped me in his car.

So, I realized that Jessica was, in fact, lying about Edward being her boyfriend.

I realized that Edward wasn't the lying jerk I had thought he was.

Maybe he did like me like when I first met him.

He kissed me on the forehead a few times, but maybe it didn't mean anything to him.

About three things I was absolutely positive.

First: Edward was the same guy I met online.

Second: There was a part of him, and I didn't know how dominant that part might be, that could possibly be attracted to me.

Third: I was unconditionally and irrevocably falling for him.

As I was sitting up, I heard a loud honk.

I walked over to the window to see who was outside and saw Edward's silver Volvo, and he was standing, hands in pockets, in front it.

I shook my head, and smiled as I went to get ready.

When I was ready and had some quick breakfast, I headed out the front door.

My parents, of course, were long gone by then.

As I walked to his car, he noticed me approaching and quickly opened the passenger side of the door for me.

"Thanks." I mumbled as I climbed in.

He ran over to his side and revved up the car.

We remained silent while he drove to the school.

I couldn't help sneaking glances at him, and he caught me every time.

The weird thing was, when I wasn't looking, I felt him looking at me.

"Mind if I turn on the radio?" He asked.

I shook my head no.

I watched as he fumbled through the radio stations grunting, and finally and he turned it off, sighing.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He sighed again. "Nothing. It's just.. music these days."

"What about it? You don't like it?"

"No. I don't. There is only so much cheesy pop and fabricated lyrics I can listen to."

I laughed at that. Good to know we were on the same page.

"What?" He asked, grinning.

"Well, you already know that I cannot stand that type of music either." I smiled.

He nodded and smiled to himself.

Soon enough, we parked up at school.

"Wait here," he said, turning off the engine.

I nodded, wondering what he was up to.

He moved around to my side of the car, and opened the door for me.

I grabbed my bag and stepped out, smiling.

"You do know I can open my door by myself, don't you?" I asked as he shut the door.

"I know." He nodded. "But I was raised to be a gentleman, and a gentleman I will be."

I rolled my eyes and walked past him, heading off to my class, but stopped when he grabbed my arm.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Silly Bella. I already told you I was a gentleman, did I not?"

"Yes, I heard you. But what are --"

"Gentlemen walk ladies to their first class." He smiled.

"Why? I mean it's not like we're dating or anything."

He frowned at that and I took that as my cue to leave.

Before I walked in the doors, I noticed he was standing in the same place I left him, still frowning.

I sighed and kept on walking.

I was five feet from my classroom door when a pair of rough hands wrapped their arms around my waist, pulling me back.

"So tell me, come here often?" A rough voice asked.

And turned around and saw it was that boy- Jacob was his name?- that Edward seemed to not particularly get along with.

"That has got to be the lamest pick up line I've ever heard." I said, rolling my eyes.

"Well, I would have saved you from an out of control van threatening to kill you, but gosh, your boyfriend already did that." He snarled.

"Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend." I laughed.

"Really? So why does Cullen go in protective mode over you whenever a guy is around you? And why do you guys hang out so much?"

"We're just friends."

"Hmm," he mused.

"What?"

"So then if you're single, which I'm assuming you are, then you wouldn't mind going out with me then."

I laughed. "Think again, Indian boy."

I turned to back to go to my class, but he grabbed me by my arm and shoved me into a closet.

"Ouch, get off of me!"

"I don't think so." He growled, grabbing my arms hard and pushing me against a wall in the darkness.

"Now listen to me, Bella, no girl ever says no to me. Ever! And you think you're an exception?" He said, angrily.

"Ow, Jacob, you're hurting me. Stop."

He grabbed my body and then shoved me against the wall again, harder this time.

"Ow!" I cried in pain.

"Ow, ow, ow. Is that all you can say? I thought you were tough! I guess not. Even better.." He snarled.

I feared what he was going to next so I did the only thing I could. I screamed. Screamed out for help, hoping someone would hear me.

I don't know what made me do it, but I screamed Edward's name out to help me, hoping he could help me.

Jacob punched me in the stomach, causing me to tumble over.

He grabbed my body, and yet again slammed into the wall and covered my mouth with one of his hands.

"Now, now Bella. You shouldn't have done that."

I closed my eyes, waiting for him to do something.

Then, I heard a door open and light on my face.

I opened my eyes and saw Edward, my savior, there.

His face held curiosity and then he saw my face, which made his face look worried and then he saw Jacob and faster than lightening, his face turned angry and he ran towards Jacob and pulled him off of me, throwing him on the floor.

"What do you think you were doing?" Edward shouting so loud, I had to cover my ears.

"N-nothing," Jacob stuttered.

"LIES!" Edward shouted, punching Jacob.

"Bella, you better get to class," Edward said, attempting to sound collected.

I nodded, grabbing my bag and ran towards my class, frightened of what would continue in that closet.

I didn't see Edward after my first class, I hadn't really expected him to come into my first class.

I was worried. Worried what Edward might have done to Jacob, what Jacob might do to Edward.

I was so worried for Edward. What if he did something that could get him in trouble for whatever he was doing?

Maybe I should have just stayed quiet, and I wouldn't be worrying like this.

I was sitting on a bench by myself at lunch eating when someone sat down beside me.

"Hey, Bella." A nauseating voice greeted me.

"What do you want, Jessica?" I asked her. Couldn't anybody leave me alone?

"Oh, nothing really. I just wanted to apologize for the way I've been behaving lately. It was wrong of me. I know that now." She said, a guilty look on her face.

"Well.. erm, thanks Jessica."

"Please, call me Jess!" She said, putting a hand on mine, smiling.

"Okay.."

"So, I have to go and talk to someone. But I was wondering could I borrow your English notes? I lost my English copybook and if I turn up without them tomorrow, I am totally, like, screwed." She laughed.

"Erm, okay. Can you look after my bag? I'll just run to my locker." I asked and she nodded.

I ran to my locker to get my English notes and I was surprised to see Edward standing there.

"Hey, Edward. Are you okay?"

"Yes. For now. Are you okay?" He asked me.

I nodded. "Um, thanks for saving me back in the closet."

He shrugged. "No problem. That's typical Jacob Black for you. Just don't.. trust him. Or talk to him. He's bad news."

"Yeah, I think I kind of got that from that.. experience."

"Good." He stepped closer. "I don't know what I'd do if he laid his filthy hands on you." His breath fogged up my eyes.

"Um. Yeah.." I said, my voice trailing off.

"Are you okay, Bella?" Edward asked, amused.

"Um, yeah. I just have to get.. a book?" I said, like it was a question.

He nodded, stepping back.

I went to my locker, searching through my locker for my English notes and I finally found it.

I closed my locker and saw him still standing there.

"Got it." I smiled, waving it as proof.

"Didn't we already have English?" He asked skeptically.

"Yeah, but Jessica needs to borrow it from me."

"Why?"

"She lost hers apparently."

"Hmm."

"What?" I asked, curious.

"Nothing." He shrugged. "Let's go."

"You're spending lunch with me?"

"Of course. I'm not letting you out of my sight again." He said, wrapping an arm around my waist, which automatically sent butterflies to my stomach.

When we got back to bench I vacated, Jess was still there, looking around.

"Here you are, Jessica." I smiled.

"Oh, thanks Bella! But Lauren just said I could, uh, borrow hers. Yeah. So I'll see you, like, later. Bye!" She said, running off.

Well, that was weird.

"What was that about?" Edward asked from being me.

"I have no idea." I shrugged, sitting down.

We ate our lunch, talking casually throughout the hour.

After, he walked me to our class, not that I minded.

I couldn't help but notice that all the girls were glaring at me, looking at me disgustedly.

I just shrugged it off.

When we walked into Biology, I noticed a bunch of preps all huddled together.

"So, like, yeah. And she, like, pretended to be someone else. And they met each other online. And now she has him in her, like paws." I heard Laurens voice speak.

"Look, there he is." Someone whispered.

Edward and I looked at each other.

He scrunched his face and I shrugged, walking to my seat.

People were acting so weird and now they were gossiping about some girl.

I rolled my eyes and moved to my seat.

Throughout the whole class, the girls kept staring at me.

It was started to bug me, so I turned to Edward and he was giving them all a death glare.

He noticed me staring and he gave me a crooked smile and I smiled back.

After school, Edward and I walked with our arms linked to his car.

I noticed Jacob standing at the side of the parking lot with Jessica.

Jacob looked beaten up pretty bad.

"Uh, Edward?" I asked, nudging him.

"Yes, Bella?"

"Did you do that to Jacob?" I asked, nodding my head towards him.

"Yes." He sighed. "Don't put the guilt trip on me, please. He deserved it."

"I wasn't going to. I was actually going to thank you. I'm not one for violence, but wow!" I laughed.

"You mean a lot to me, Bella. Never forget that."

I nodded.

Jacob and Jessica both looked at us, then.

Jacob had something stuffed in his jacket, carefully hiding it from us.

I didn't think anything of it; it was probably drugs or something.

I guess Jessica was just trying to make herself look good earlier, but she'll always be the same girl.

We were better off without both of them.

I saw Rosalie and Alice with Emmett and Jasper.

They were smiling a knowing smile at me.

I shot a confused look at them, but they shrugged and kept smiling at me.

They seemed to be planning something, just like Jessica and Jacob.

I highly doubted either one would come out successful.

A/N: Uh oh. Drama drama drama. You didn't honestly think it was over, did you?

It took me forever to get inspired or have ideas. All my friends were literally shooting ideas at me. Then I listened to the song that the fanfic title was from and then BOOM, it came. *slaps head* OH, and the Chapter title - if you lack in math; squared means twice, to J squared is Jessica and Jacob.

Oh and in case you don't know - No, Edward and Bella aren't dating.

Review? ^^
