That's right! I'm back! I'm so glad that this story is finally heating up! Anyways, thanks for reading, following, reviewing and all that jazz! Here we go, an EPOV as promised
Chapter 11:
Previously (BPOV):
"Okay, fine!" I may have been a little jealous." I allowed.
"It's okay, Bella, a little jealousy can be good. We just need to make sure that you aren't the one feeling it." Rose said, whilst Alice nodded along.
"She's right." Alice confirmed. "It's time for operation make Edward jealous."
EPOV:
The car journey was beyond awkward, after Bella was plonked onto my lap, I just didn't know what to do! I had to spend the entire journey thinking about my grandparents so I wouldn't give away just how happy I was about her 'new seat'. I tried my hardest to contribute to the conversation, but I was just too fucking happy about the fact that Bella was sat on my lap with my arms around her.
When we got to school, Emmett gave me a pointed look, reminding me of the plan. I had form with Alice and Bella, and we all sat at the back together, except this time she sat next to me, and not on top of me.
I had gotten a lot of attention from girls in my classes. By the time I got to English, I decided that I should use it to my advantage, and so when a girl with strawberry blonde hair approached me, I decided that the sooner the better, and smiled my signature smirk at her. He eyes lit up and she walked faster towards me.
"Hey Edward." She said in a very high pitched voice. Wow. Nasally. Ah well, I'd get over it. Shit. I couldn't remember her name, even though she'd told me enough times today (and been ignored by me). She was waiting. What was it? Tina? Talia? I'd go with that.
"Hey, Talia, was it?" I asked.
"Close! Tanya." She told me, not swayed by the fact that I'd forgotten her name. Tanya. I'd have to remember that. "So, I was wondering," she continued.
"If you might wanna go out sometime?" she asked with slightly crazed eyes. I figured I had nothing to lose; she seemed the perfect girl to spark Bella's jealousy.
"Sure, I don't see why not. Would you like to eat lunch with my family today?" I asked her.
"Yes!" she squealed. Yes, squealed. I'd never heard that from anyone other than Alice; it was normal for Alice, but when Tanya did it, it really annoyed me. No going back now. It was going to be a long day. After English, where, luckily, I didn't sit next to Tanya, we made our way to lunch. I thought that bringing her to lunch would be a good way to show Emmett and Jasper how well I was doing with the plan. Tanya grabbed my hand in a vice grip as we walked into the lunch hall, so I didn't have much choice other than to hold on.
As I looked over to our table, I saw that Bella, Alice and Rosalie all had their jaws dropped to the ground, so I hoped that Tanya had had the desired effect. I also saw Emmett wink at me as I lead Tanya to our table. We stayed standing next to the table, and I looked at Bella, only to see her glaring at Tanya. I glanced sideways at Tanya to see that she was glaring right back.
Wow. Who knew girls could be so venomous? Looks like I'd picked Bella's worst enemy to make her jealous. I couldn't tell if this was a good thing or not.
Just then Tanya spoke up.
"Hey Bella! I see you've met the Cullen's as well." She said smiling at Bella, though her smile looked off; forced somehow.
"Yes, in fact, I met them on Saturday, they've moved in next door to me." Bella replied with a particularly icy smile, raising her eyebrows slightly. Looks like Bella can stand up for herself; I was impressed, as Tanya seemed pretty menacing from what I'd noticed.
Bella looked down at our clasped hands, seemingly unconsciously, with a thoughtful expression.
"Um... well, I'm gonna go." She said abruptly, and left with Alice and Rosalie. I watched as she walked away. I felt something stomp on my foot, looking down I saw that it was Tanya's heel. I was starting to like her less and less. She looked at me and then looked pointedly at Jasper and Emmett, reminding me that I was yet to introduce her.
"Uh, guys, this is Tanya. Tanya, this is Emmett and Jasper, my brothers," I said motioning to them.
"And the two girls that just left with Bella are Rosalie and Alice, my sisters." I told her politely. Conversation flowed, albeit rather awkwardly; I couldn't help but get the sense that Tanya just wasn't our kind of person.
BPOV:
"And how the hell am I supposed to make him jealous?" I asked Alice and Rose in the girls' toilets that we'd fled to.
"He seems pretty happy with Tanya." I said.
"Who, that girl he brought to our table?" Rosalie asked.
"I don't know her, but I know she's not Edwards's type. I don't know what he sees in her, but I do know that it won't last. Don't worry about her." She told me.
"I still don't see how I'm supposed to make him jealous." I pointed out.
"Easy." Alice said. "He needs to see you with another guy." Hmm. I think she was onto something. Seeing Edward with someone else had certainly had that effect on me, so surely it would do the same for him?
"I have the perfect guy." I said. Alice and Rosalie's eyes lit with excitement, and we left the toilets to head to class.
Well, there you go. Who do you think the mystery guy is?
Will write again soon,
