"She's got electric boots and a mohair suit. You know I read it in a magaziiinee .Ooohhhhh B-B-B-Benny and the Jets…!" Tammy glanced back at Edward "See you in class Edward!" She waved at him.

Edward stuck his hand in the air and waved it once to the right. Tammy put her hood over her head and walked out the door, into the rain, continuing singing in her head "Benny! Benny!..."

Some people glanced at Edward and some tried not to. Edward turned in the direction for Bella's class. He tried to ignore the thoughts pouring through his head. "What happened between them?" one redheaded girl thought.

"Maybe Cullen is cheating on Bella with Tammy." Thought a guy who was still obsessing over Bella. "I might have a shot over her after all!"

"Edward probably made a move on her."

"Tammy sure seems happy."

Edward kept a straight face as he walked a little too fast to Bella's class. He rolled his eyes at the other thoughts. Humans were always making up rumors just to amuse their lives. He knew what people were thinking wasn't true. All he and Tammy did was talk about what they were going to research, the supplies, and that was all.

Bella was waiting for Edward outside her first class. When he showed up, she tried to smile. All through her first class, she thought about what Lauren said. Bella usually didn't pay attention to what Lauren said, but she couldn't help thinking that there could be a possibility that Edward might turn to this girl. "For one thing, she was partnered up with Edward and then Edward gave her a ride to school!- Well even though I know the second one wasn't true because Alice was the one driving, but still Edward shouldn't have gone along and should've put a stop to it. But am I really that cruel? She could live a few miles away from school…" Bella didn't finish her thought because she found Edward standing right in front of her, smiling. Bella blushed at him.

"Bella, are you alright?" asked Edward.

"Yes. How did it go in the library?" said Bella. She and Edward started walking to Bella's next class.

Edward looked down at Bella. "Does she think something happened too?" "Good. We got a topic picked out and started working on it."

"That's good. What topic did you choose?"

Edward smiled "History on cars."

Bella smiled "Then this would be an easy topic for you." She wondered if Edward had been the one to choose that or Tammy. Bella tried to shake off her suspicions about Tammy. It partly worked.

"How was class? I'm surprised I didn't see Mike standing next to you when I came." Said Edward.

"Oh, I'm not sure." To be honest, Bella hardly paid any attention to Mike at all or even Tyler. Both of them kept on talking to her and then asking of she was alright. It really got Bella irritated by their concern and frustrated that she couldn't put her mind at ease with Edward being a lone in the library with Tammy. Despite her efforts, she really wasn't getting far, putting this aside and out of her mind.

*After school *

Tammy walked happily outside into the rain. Her hood was up and she splashed into the puddles like a little kid. "Let the rain fall down. And wake my dreams. Let it wash away my sanity. 'Cause I wanna feel the thunder. I wanna scream. Let the rain fall down. I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean…. I can't believe he asked me out! I can't believe he asked ME out! EEEEEEEPPPP! Now I can't wait for Friday!"

Alice giggled watching Tammy splash in the puddles, Jasper chuckled at her playfulness and Edward laughed from listening to her thoughts. Bella just stood there.

"She's a lot happier in her mind than she's allowing us to see." Said Edward. He saw a little version of herself in her mind, dancing, throwing out confetti and was actually a banner that read "YES!" Like a little party going on in her head!

"I've never seen anyone that happy before." Laughed Jasper.

"This is her first date ever. How cute is that?" smiled Alice.

"Who asked her out?" asked Bella. She wasn't paying any attention lunch and hardly ate. Bella's focused was on Edward.

"Derek Kings, Bella! Where have you been? I told you he was going to ask her out this morning." Said Alice.

"I'm sorry Alice, I'm just not feeling well right now. That's all." Lied Bella.

Alice knew Bella was lying but held her tongue. Jasper glanced back at Tammy. "She's walking home again isn't she?"

Edward shook his head "No, she doesn't go home after school. She's heading into town."

Alice cleared her throat, "Well I'm going to give her a ride into town. I want to talk to her about giving her some styling tips for her date."

Edward crocked an eyebrow. "Alice…"

"Bella would you like to join us? I like to give you some tips too!" interrupted Alice.

"Alice as much as I…"

"I won't take no for an answer! Come on, Bella it'll be fun!" pleaded Alice.

"Alice as much as I love to do girly things today…I… I can't. It's last minute and I have to tell Charlie. He probably won't like it."

Alice rolled her eyes at Bella's attempt to stall another girl's day. "Alright, Bella, I'll humor you for today only! Tell Charlie tomorrow that you'll have a girl's day with Tammy and me after school. And you know he likes me."

Bella sighed. At least she can stall for now and hopefully come up with a good excuse tomorrow. "Alright Alice you…."

"YES! Ok, then it's settled. And don't you dare try to change plans. I'll be watching!" Alice skipped happily to the Volvo with Jasper laughing.

Edward turned to Bella. "Let's get you out of this rain."

"Edward, you're not going with Alice?" asked Bella.

"Nope, I'm going with you." He smiled and rapped his arm around her.

Bella smiled and blushed at the same time. She was beginning to feel silly for letting Lauren's words sink into her head. Bella had heard a few people whisper around her all day and look at her. She knew that they were talking about Edward and Tammy.

As they walked to her truck, the rain continued to drizzle. She dreaded the rain. "Do you have any suggestions to get out tomorrow?"

"I doubt you'll be able to. Once Alice set's her mind about something, especially a girl's night out, she won't change her mind about it." He shook his head.

"Do you think Rosalie will come?" asked Bella. She started the truck. It roared to life and Bella pulled out of her parking slot.

"She might invite her but I doubt Rosalie will come. This isn't usually Rosalie's thing." Edward looked at Bella. "What's really bothering you. You've been pretty quiet all day."

"It's nothing. I'm just not feeling well." Lied Bella.

"Bella, nothing happened in the library. I know what Lauren said to you. Those kids don't know anything about what went on."

"And what exactly did go on?" demand Bella.

"Nothing, all we did was talk."

"About what exactly? How she likes you? How she was very pleased you gave her a ride to school? How she wants you to be her driver?" Bella was starting to get so angry that she was starting to cry. Everything she was holding in all day was coming out. It was just one day after all and for all she knew, Edward was probably telling the truth. Since when did she listen to Lauren?

When she came up to her house, Bella tried to step on the break coolly but stepped on it too hard. Not like it would affect Edward. He didn't move forward at all in his seat. Bella sighed and turned to Edward. "Alright, I'm listening."

"She doesn't like me. She likes Derek. She was thinking about him when I walked in. Actually, she had the song You Could Be Mine in her head. It was actually amusing. She's like a little radio. She kept on fighting to listen to it and when she didn't she thought of him.

She didn't want to ride to school with us because she didn't want to burden us. Alice, Jasper and the weather were the ones who convinced her to think otherwise. It was mostly the rain. One of the reasons why she was one of the first people out of school was because she intended that way. She was hoping that she could avoid us because she didn't want to trouble us with another ride home. More than likely, Alice and Jasper are keeping her company because Tammy doesn't like to go home. She spends as much time as she could away from home."

"Why doesn't she like her home?" asked Bella.

"Her guardians argue a lot and it makes her feel uncomfortable."

"Oh…" Bella didn't know what to say. She had never knew anyone who was unhappy at home. Now she felt silly for being jealous when nothing happened in the first place. She should've listened to Edward. "Look Edward I'm sorry that I…"

Edward's lips met Bella's lips. They kissed each other passionately. Before either of them could get carried away, Edward pulled away and smiled "You're forgiven. Now all you have to worry about is dealing with Alice tomorrow."

Bella sighed and got out of the door, slamming it on purpose. Edward laughed.
