All right, alright, I know you want to get over with this little Author's Note cause you don't care, so READ!

"Good morning cheery ray of sunshine!" A peppy voice woke me up. As I opened my eyes to see light streaming in from the curtains, I saw Alice at the end of my bed. I hid under my covers and groaned.

"I for one do not like this arrangement." I mumbled.

"What was that?" She asked, even though she had superhuman hearing. "Come on, we've got to get you ready for today." I groaned again and got out from under the covers.

"Fine, fine." I said, going towards my closet. She tapped her foot and crossed her arms.

"What do you think you're doing?" She asked.

"Um…choosing clothes for today?" I asked. She shook her head no. "I am not your Barbie doll." I warned. She just looked at me. "Fine." I groaned. "You are annoyingly persistent for a vampire." She just hopped over to the closet. I just sighed as she came out with a light pink baby doll top and a pair of dark blue jeans. "I am NOT a pink person." I warned her. She rolled her eyes.

"Just put it on." She said "While I go and search for suitable shoes." She scrambled back inside the closet while I got into my clothes. The jeans were…tighter than the normal jeans I wore. They looked good, but I usually wore my jeans a bit baggy. These were my perfect size and fit me like a glove, but they'd take a while to get used to. The pink fabric of the baby doll top was wicked comfortable too. Maybe I could get used to Alice's sense of style…that is, if I were able to choose out my own clothing. I didn't see that coming anytime soon though. Alice finally reemerged from my closet…with a pair of black stilettos.

"Perfect!" Alice exclaimed. I shuddered. "What??" Alice asked. "Black goes with EVERYTHING! Plus you could get a bit taller." The fact that this statement was coming from her was frankly quite humorous. She was half a foot shorter than me. I sighed and just put the dang shoes on. Today would be interesting.

Alice did my make-up again, and curled my hair so it was somewhat wavy. I took my truck to school, and had difficulty driving with the dang stilettos. As I made my way to the school, walking very carefully, Tyler Crowley moseyed up to me. Great.

"Hey Bella." He purred. "You know, I never really did get a chance to apologize for that accident that almost hurt you." I fidgeted nervously.

"Tyler…I'm not interested. Thanks but no thanks." I tried scurrying off but that didn't work so well since I was wearing stilettos. Thanks a lot Alice.

"Hey, hey, hey!" He said coolly, his ego still perfectly intact unfortunately for me. "It's no big deal babe; it'd be something small…like a movie?" He had the nerve to wink at me with a big smirk on his face.

"I said I'm not interested Tyler. I have a boyfriend." I said tightly.

"Oh come on." He said, slinging an arm around me. "I won't tell anyone, I promise."

"I believe she said no, Tyler." A cool voice said from behind me. I looked up and saw Edward with his arms crossed. "Now I suggest that you take her arm off from around her shoulders, before I take it off for you." Tyler took his arm away from my shoulders quickly. Good idea.

"Right man." He said anxiously. "See you later Bells. Call me later if you change your mind, kay?" He walked off quickly to his group of friends as I stared angrily after him. I heard his friends laughing and saying 'Shut down by Cullen!' and 'Nice one Ace!' and Tyler shushing them, looking worriedly back at me and Edward. Wimp. I mean, Edward was a vampire, but it wasn't like he knew that.

"You okay?" Edward asked in a gentler tone than the one he had just used on Tyler. "I hope I wasn't intruding…but it looked like he was being obtuse."

"Thank you. I'm fine; I'm just annoyed by idiocy." I said. I sighed. "Some guys just don't know how to take a hint." Edward smirked.

"Well, I'd have thought that you'd have been used to that by now, but I guess not…" he said mysteriously. I looked at him in confusion.

"Wait, what?" I asked. "What in the world are you talking about?" Edward rolled his eyes.

"Please Bella, Newton? Yorkie? And now Crowley? You're not exactly invisible to the guys here." I thought about that for a second. He was right, but I just thought of it as annoying teenage boys. I thought it was typical behavior.

"Well…still. I stand by what I said. Some guys do not know how to take a hint!" I said stubbornly. Edward laughed.

"Be that as it may, you're still going to have to deal with those guys. Now come on, get to class before you're late." I rolled my eyes but went to class. The rest of the morning went quite smoothly. Then at lunch, I wasn't able to sit with the Cullens. Jess was really upset and needed Angela and me to help her. Apparently Mike and her had had a fight, and they had broken up last night. She was really upset, but still very angry at him. Angela and I got her calmed down and we made plans to have a sleepover tonight to cheer her up. No boys would be allowed. As we departed, Ange and I gave Jess a goodbye hug and planned to meet by the Gym after school.

I went to Biology, and saw Edward there.

"Is Jessica alright?" He murmured. I looked up at him.

"Yeah, she's better…how did you know?" I asked.

"Remember my…erm…talent?" He said. Oh right, his mind reading thing. "And plus, Newton was strutting around, flirting with girls like crazy. Watch out in Gym." I groaned.

"Lovely. As if Tyler wasn't enough this morning. So I suppose you know that I'm sleeping over with them tonight, so you guys don't have to watch the house?" He nodded.

"It doesn't mean that you're going unprotected though. We'll have someone over." My eyes widened.

"You don't need to, do you? I mean, one night?" He sighed.

"Why don't you have Rose and Alice come over? I mean, that wouldn't be too inconspicuous, and you would have fun at the sleepover." I thought it over. That'd work out.

"Alright…we're going to Jess's, and her parents don't mind having a lot of girls over…and I'm sure they'd understand." I said. Edward nodded.

"That's good then. Alice will probably get a vision of it, and realize something's up. She can tell Rose, and they'll run over to the house and be back in five minutes." I looked at him incredulously.

"Five minutes?"
"Yes. Your point?" I shook my head at him. Stupid vampires and their superhuman speed. And I couldn't even make the mile run without a week of training. The rest of the period went pretty quickly, and sure enough, Rose and Alice were outside the Biology classroom when the period ended to confirm the sleepover. I told Angela and Jess as I passed them in the hallway, and they didn't seem to care too much. As I entered the Gym, I had the unfortunate luck to run into Mike.

"Heya Bella." He said, grinning at me.

"Hi Mike." I said. "Sorry to hear about you and Jess." I said politely. He shrugged it off.

"That's in the past, it wasn't meant to work I guess." I nodded, unsure of what he meant. "Hey," he said, sauntering closer to me, "Wanna go to dinner sometime? I know this great place…" I gulped. Where was Jake when I really needed him?

"No thanks, Mike, I've got a boyfriend. And besides, I wouldn't do that to Jess." I tried walking off and he tried blocking my path. Then he got hit in the head with a dodge ball. This had been thrown by Tyler Crowley. Since when was he in my Gym class?

"Hey Bella!" He said from across the Gym. "I'm making up a gym class." Lovely. I'd have to deal with both of them. "Heads up Newton!" Mike just turned and glared. I took that moment to go to the locker room to change. This was going to be an interesting class.

We played dodge ball. It was separated alphabetically into three teams. I didn't have either of them on my team though, which was lucky for me. I dodged whatever came my way, while I watched them pummel each other with dodge balls. I took advantage and tried to hit them, but since I usually missed, I wasn't the best at this game. As soon as the period ended though, I rushed to the changing room and got out to meet Alice, Rose, Jess, and Angela. Thank goodness. I needed to have some time away from annoying boys.
