CHAPTER THREE: Change Is A Good Thing.

I do not own anything.

Where the fuck is my schedule, I am rifling through my bag, which by the way has everything but the kitchen sink in it. What the hell have I done with it. I know I packed it this morning before I left, but now it has been swallowed by the clutter monster living in my bag. Typical. Just had to happen to me, today of all day's. C'mon to fuck, I shouted out loud.

"Lose something Bella?" asked a voice from behind me.

I turned around, ready to scream, yeah seriously, I would have screamed, after all, the last people I had been hanging out with were vampires, so please excuse me if I was slightly jumpy. As I turned, I realised that it was Angela Webber, standing behind me with a curious but helpful smile on her face.

"Oh hey Angela, yeah, I've lost my schedule, I'm not actually sure where I am meant to be first, this morning, total dope that I am!" I said, smiling back at her.

"Well, we have all the same classes, so stick with me and you will be right as rain" said Angela happily, hooking her arm through mine.

I looked at her, this girl was either completely genuine and had accepted me back as her friend with open arm's or she saw me as a complete pity case. At this moment in time, I didn't care, I just wanted to get to my first class and start my day. I was looking forward to it, after all, I had to get back to normality as soon as possible. Our first class was History, Angela and I walked through the door, taking our seats and waiting for the teacher to enter.

As I sat facing the front of the class, I could see Jessica and Lauren snickering and whispering amongst themselves. I knew they were talking about me, after all, these bitches had the most boring lives so they chose to make mine hell. I could feel their eyes on me, but I just kept my head down and carried on. They were not going to get the better of me. I giggled to myself, maybe they were jealous because I was still a virgin, well you never know. Angela squeezed my arm in concern.

"Take no notice of them, you are better than that!" she said smiling warmly at me again.

Seriously loving this girl more by the second.

So the teacher has come into the room and class has commenced. This happens in the next class to, which is English by the way. I struggle on, but with my head held high. I am not going to let anybody get to me today, or so I thought. Angela had invited me to sit with her at lunch break in the cafeteria, so I accepted readily, I had my appetite back so I was starving when lunch break actually came. Angela and I made our way through the cafeteria, to a small table in the back, away from the crowds. I took out my home made sandwiches and juice I had prepared earlier that morning and began to chow down. Angela had sandwiches too, but a flask of soup was her choice of beverage.

"Well Bella, how are we doing this fine wet day in forks" asked, none other than Mike Newton.

I looked up to see him and my first thought was, kill me now. I swallowed the contents of my mouth and smiled at him, kind of forced, but a smile all the same.

"Hey mike, I'm doing great thanks for asking" I replied politely, my actual thoughts were fuck off you brainless buffoon.

"That's good to hear Bella, erm I heard about your breakup with Cullen, I just want you to know that if you need anything, I'm here if you need me" said Mike, scratching his head, you could see he was itching to ask me something else.

"Bella" said mike.

And here it comes.

"I was wondering if you would, maybe, only if you want to, come to diner with me after school?" he asked curiously.

My smile faltered, god loves a tryer, but this tryer was trying my patience, no end. I couldn't be nice about this, I couldn't be diplomatic either, I had to go for the jugular.

"Look mike, You were asking me out before I was with Cullen, you even asked me out whilst I was dating him, and here you are asking me again, I wasn't interested then and I most certainly am not interested now" I said, looking him straight in the eye. Angela almost choked at hearing the way I spoke to Mike.

Mike's face went bright red at my refusal of him. The guy needed to get the fucking point, when a girl says no the first time, then ok, but to continually ask was not only annoying but extremely desperate and I do not do desperate, I've been there, done that and I wear the fucking t-shirt to boot. He needed to get a grip on reality and fast because if you haven't already noticed, shy, quiet Bella Swan is no more.

I watched as Mike did a full three-sixty, heading back, well crawling back to his table from whenst he came, Jessica and Lauren both sat alongside Eric Yorkie and a few other's, watching him expectantly. Whatever he said to them made Lauren head straight back over to me.

"Why were you so horrible to Mike just then, he was only asking you out to be nice, he feels sorry for you because you went and got your ass dumped by Edward, so he is doing the decent thing and being a gentleman asking you on a date" said Lauren angrily.

I put down my sandwich, took a sip of my juice and let rip.

"Look Slut, sorry I mean Lauren, I never asked for you or Mike to feel sorry for me, I don't want him asking me out, cause I'm not interested in him ok! As for Edward dumping my ass,well that is the greatest thing to happen to me since I learned to read and write, Who the fuck made it your business anyways about him dumping me, cause I sure as hell don't remember getting a page put in the school paper announcing Bella Swan dumped by Edward Cull, oooh the tragedy, not, take your skank ass back to your table of minions and keep your fake ass bitch face ugly skank nose out of my business, if I wanted your oppinion, I would've asked, and I clearly didn't, so fuck off!" I said calmly as possible.

Lauren`s jaw hit the floor, huffing and puffing, she too wandered back to the table with her tail between her legs like the mangy mutt she was.

"That's right, run back to your little disciples" I said smiling.

I sat back down and regarded Angela, she was smiling, well wouldn't you be after seeing me rip lauren a new ass hole. Angela, to my surprise burst out laughing.

"You've changed, Bella Swan, and I love it" she giggled.

"Yeah, well, change is a good thing!" I said, taking another sip of my juice.
