Chapter 1: The beginning

BPOV

I told Charlie goodbye as I walked outside to my car. Last month’s happening was
something that none of us really had told him. You know; Me, having a vampire
stalker who almost made you die, and that your best friends… kind of… well
“friend” is a werewolf: The usual. That was something I hadn’t told anyone
actually… But there was this stupid, really embarrassing rumor going around
school that Edward and I was going out. Sure, I liked him, but we…he- I don’t
know what to think…

I stepped into the car and started it, the roar of its awaking almost scaring me to
death as I was lost in thoughts. I began to drive towards school in my usual,
rather slow phase.

Charlie was a little freaked –Okay freaked was an understatement… He was

worried sick when he visited me; his face had lost all its color, except the small
faint purple color in it. Smith had made him I visit I understood later on. Before
the camping trip, he only knew the Cullen’s as the ‘new’ family. But now, when
he occasionally talked about him, or at all for that matter, he just talked nice
about them and like they had known each other for years –which they had. He
had erased his memories about the Cullen’s and Alaska as well, but now they
were back, which I appreciated.

I parked the car and turned off the engine. The other students were starting to fill
the lot, and I stepped out of the car. The rain was drizzling down slowly from the
sky, and I sighed as I began to move towards the building. But suddenly,
someone put their arm around my shoulder and squeezed her closer to
him/herself. Startled by the sudden move, I looked up, and was suddenly
drowning in a pair of deep green, never ending emerald eyes. He was smiling his
crooked smile at me, and tugged me forward; I had stopped walking, and I was
sure I was staring at him stupidly. I blushed, and began to walk forward by
myself, and he dropped his arm from my shoulder.

“Hi.” He greeted me as we walked.

“Hi. Why are you always doing that??” I asked. He frowned confused and I slightly
smiled at his puzzled face, but I saw that under the mask of confusion, there was
also some sadness.

“What I meant was; why do you always pop out of nowhere? I never see or hear
you coming and you always have me pee my pants off in surprise.” I said, and by
those words, he was laughing.

“Well, maybe you should be more observant. It’s not my fault that you are so
observant and lost in thoughts that you pee yourself. Get a diaper.” He said
sarcastically and grinned. I playfully punched him on his arm and walked inside
the building, happy to get out of the rain. Once inside, I saw some other students.
Some of them spotted us, and as they did, you could see how they turned around
and began to whisper to each other. I never understood the fun with gossip. But
apparently, the rest of the students, boy or girl, did. As we walked to our lockers,
talking to each other about everything and nothing, you could see the sudden
hunger of gossip in the other’s faces. It felt like if we walked around the corner,
the whole hall would be drowned in gossip.

Get yourself together Bella; you’re not the center of the universe. They’re
probably just looking at Edward, not you. The voice back in my head told me, and
I had to admit, it was sounding more convincing than I did right now.

“Bella??” Edward suddenly asked, and I looked behind me, my gaze following the
sound of his voice. He was standing by his locker, several meters behind me, and
an amused smile was painted on his lips. Embarrassed, I blushed deeply and
began to walk back to my locker, not far away from his.

I opened the locker and took out my books. My first class of today was math. I
mentally sighed and looked up at Edward. It wasn’t until then I noticed he was
staring at me, observing me.

“What is it??” I asked him, feeling self-conscious.

“I could ask you the same question. What’s the matter with you? You’re all
nervous. Do you have a test you haven’t studied for or something? Are you sick?
Please tell me.” he begged me, looking at me worriedly. Even after a month, this
thing was still bothering me. If I told him, Smith would kill me. If I didn’t if would
kill Edward. He knows when I lie; I’m terrible at it after all, and it would hurt his
feelings if I don’t tell him. But I don’t feel that suicidal today, not really. He
already knows about the ‘He’s-a-stalker-and-he-loves-her’ thing…

“Well…It’s nothing really,” I lied and smiled. “I’m just a little tired and have a lot
on my mind, that’s all.” He looked at me, not believe a word I was saying, but let
it go.

“Alright, I’ll see you at lunch.” He said, patted my head like I was a little toddler
and walked away towards the direction of his class.

“Hey!” I called after him, but he just laughed and waved to me without turning
around. I sighed and took my math books and walked into the other direction
towards Mr. Smith’s classroom.

Inside, I saw how Mike eagerly waved me over to him. I sighed and walked over
to him, in reality just wanting to run into the opposite direction as long as
possible.

“What is it Mike??” I asked him in a sour tone and looked at him skeptically. He
was looking like the rest of the other students, even I could see that. He wanted
gossip right now.
“Is it true that you and Edward Cullen are dating??” he asked, and as soon as the
words were out, I began to walk away, ignoring his complains behind me. I sat
down in my seat, and luckily, Mr. Smith entered the classroom. Everyone who
had him as their teacher knew that once he was in the classroom, you better shut
your pie-hole, and do it quick. He walked over to his desk and looked out –No,
glaring would actually suit better. He glared at the class from his desk, and then
silently wrote the pages we we’re supposed to work on in the lesson. Ever since
the camping trip, he has ignored me. Ever since then, he hasn’t talked to me. In
class, he has ignored me, not even looking at me once. I can’t really say that I’m
happy or sad about that. Of course I’m happy that he hasn’t gone all lovey-dovey
with me, but he’s still here. That means that he still has things here to do, and
that means that he hasn’t given up. Not yet.

Math passed slowly, the classroom absolutely quiet except the clock that ticked
incredibly slowly. But at last, the bell ran and all students rushed out of the
classroom, even I. But just before I was out of the door, a voice called my name.

“Miss Swan, please stay for a minute, I have to have a word with you.” Smith
called quietly from his desk, but loud enough for all the students to turn and look.
I sighed and turned back to his desk. He told me to wait and shoved the rest of
the students out of the classroom. He shut the door and walked back to me.

“Stacy, I-“he began, but as always, I interrupted him.

“Don’t. Call. Me. Stacy.” I said through my gritted teeth and glared at him. He
sighed, why I don’t understand, and began to talk again.

“Bella. I’m sorry for all I did, but can’t you consider forgiving me??” he begged
and looked at me with pleading eyes.

“You know what, I think I will.” I said angry, waited 3 seconds, and then
answered. “Okay, I’ve thought it through. I hate you, get out of my life, and no, I
will and can’t forgive you. Ever.” I said, and with that, I marched out of the
classroom. I was expecting a cold hand on my shoulder to hold me back, but
there never was. I hurried to next class, and even if I had other things to think
about, Smith always lingered in the back of my head.

*At lunch*

My last class before lunch finally ended, and it was with joy as I began to walk
towards the cafeteria. I was going to the cafeteria, but then I heard Alice’s voice.
She was chattering excited with some of her friends I think; Mia & Elizabeth. I
heard them just around the corner, and I was just about to walk over to them,
when I stopped as I heard what they were talking about.

“…Have you heard that rumor about your brother and that Bella??” Elizabeth, or
Liz as she preferred to be called, said and squealed with excitement.

“Oh yeah! Is that true Alice?” Mia asked. She was not as gossip crazy as the other
two, but she was a nice girl and fit in their trio perfectly. I had spoken to her a
few times, and she seemed to be nothing more but nice. She had a small habit of
talking too much though…

“Alright ladies, I’m about to tell you something you absolutely can’t tell anyone.
And I mean anyone. Do you understand??” Alice asked, her tone going all serious
in the end, something I’ve ever heard before. There was a short silence, and it
seemed that the other 2 girls understood, because Alice kept going.

“Okay, so that rumor about the two of them being together…it’s almost true.”
She said and the other girls gasped. I was near to too. What is she talking
about?? Almost true??

Alice giggled, and continued. “Well, when I say almost true is because it will
happen, I know it. It’s just that the 2 of them are a little bit…slow. But I just made
that rumor up so-“she said happily, babbling on, but at the last sentence, I
couldn’t take it anymore, and rounded the corner, finding the 3 girls as I
imagined. When Alice saw my face, she immediately stopped talking and
understood that I had heard everything.

“Alice! How could you?!?” I accused her. She looked at me with puppy eyes.

“But Bella I-“she started, but I started to walk away. I was hungry, and now I was
pissed as well.

*Inside the cafeteria*

I sat down at our ordinary table, my lunch being a soda and a sandwich. Edward
was already there, and with one look at my face, he was already frowning.

“What happened?? And don’t say ‘nothing’, because I know you’re lying.” He
said, and looked me straight into the eye.

I sighed deeply, and took a large gulp of soda before I answered. “You know the
rumor going around here about you and me dating??” I asked, and he nodded
one sharp. “Well guess what?? The person who made up this rumor is no one less
than Alice.” I said, as they say, speak of the devil, and the devil will appear. Alice
skipped over to our table and sat down in a chair next me. We we’re all quiet for
a small moment, but Alice being Alice, she groaned in frustration and began to
talk. The silence only lasted 15 seconds.

“I’m sorry!!” she apologized and looked at her brother, but his cold gaze made
her quickly turn to me instead.

“Alice,” I began. “I thought you were my friend!” I accused her.

“But I am you friend Bella!!” she cried to me and her puppy eyes almost got the
best of me. Almost.

“Alice, friends don’t spread out rumors in school so everyone thinks that your
friend and brother are dating.” I said, and as soon as the words were out, she
looked down at the table, guilty. Edward sat across from me, and he nodded in
agreement.

“Alright, I’m sorry!! But, seriously, you two should go out, just once!!” she said,
and it made my face go tomato red. Edward on the other hand, sighed and
looked at his sister with that “love” between a brother and sister.

“For being so small, you’re hugely irritating.” He muttered to himself. But then,
suddenly, his face brightened up and he grinned evilly. I looked at him confused,
but his eyes were only on his sister. Apparently he had a master plan in mind,
and it appeared to be really evil.

“Alice,” he said, ad as she turned to look at him, she froze as she saw his
expression. “There is one way we are willing to forgive you.”

“There is??” Both she and I said confused in unison, her voice a little bit more
frightened then mine.

“Yes, there is. Are you willing to do it??” He asked challenging, but his scary face
made it a not so pleasant offer.

“What is the deal??” she asked back, sounding hesitant.

“The deal is that you stand up right here, right now, in this overly crowded
cafeteria and tell the truth.” He said, and it sounded quite good in my ears.

“And what if I don’t??” she asked again, trying to sound more secure of herself,
but you could hear the doubt hidden in her voice.

“If you don’t,” he said, and for the first time since he got his master plan, his
eyes moved to me.”You will not be able to do a makeover on Bella ever again.”
He said menacing, which made Alice gasp in horror.

“You wouldn’t!!!!!” she exclaimed horrified in a gasp and glared at her younger
brother. He grinned evilly, clearly enjoying the moment of victory and spoke
slyly.

“Try me.”

Alice sat there for a moment, battling inside her head if pride or makeovers with
me were the most important thing. Was that rumor meaning that much for her??

“Alright.” She said after a moment and sighed heavily. “Fine, you win.” She
groaned, and then as she had promised, she stood up and cleared her throat.
Nobody seemed to notice, the fully packed cafeteria was full of others
conversation, and her small throat clearing was barely heard. She sighed and
made one painful look towards her brother, who was grinning in his seat.

“May I have your attention please?” she asked now, a little higher, but apparently
not high enough. Only the one close table heard her and turned in their seats to
hear what she was going to say. But the rest of the cafeteria didn’t. She groaned,
knowing she would have to shout to get everyone’s attention.
“MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!!!?” She now screamed, and every
conversation in the room stopped and they all turned to look at her. She looked
around awkwardly, then cleared her throat once again and began to talk.

“So, this rumor about Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan dating is not true, I made
it up. Thank you for your time.” She said quickly, but everyone heard what she
had said. As soon as she was sitting, all the conversations started once again,
and this time it was all about Alice Cullen, Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan.
Edward was smirking satisfied in his seat, his arms crossed in front of him.

“You happy now??” Alice muttered grimly and glared at him. “You just made me
humiliate myself in front of the entire school!!” She exclaimed and poked at her
salad.

“Well you should’ve thought of that before you made up that rumor about us.”
He said, and just as he had, the bell rang. “Shall we go??” he asked me, and I
nodded as I stood up.

“I’ll guess I’ll see you later then.” Alice told as I began to walk away from the
table.

“Yeah, sure.” I said over my shoulder and went to throw the empty soda bottle in
the trash.

Edward and I walked to our lockers and took our biology books, the one class we
shared. Mr. Banner hadn’t entered the classroom when we took our seats, and we
began to talk. After a minute or two, Mr. Banner entered the room, and some of
the conversation stopped, but it wasn’t like Fishy’s classes. We still talked a little
as he began to talk about today’s assignment. We we’re going to watch a move
today, which made not only me, but the rest of the class very happy. Banner
turned off the lights in the room, and the movie started. At the moment, I wasn’t
really that alert; my sleep had been disturbed by the heavy rain under the night,
and it was getting to me now. The movie’s subject was something I already knew,
so I folded my arms in front of me on the table and rested my head on them. I
closed my eyes, and I heard how the movie hummed in the background.
Suddenly, someone was whispering in my ear, making me alert again.

“Are you alright??” Edward whispered, and the sound of his voice made me open
my eyes and turn my face to him.

“Yeah, just a little tired.” I said and he grinned at me as I yawned. I looked at the
clock and it made me frown. I had slept through almost the whole lesson. It was
nice, but my neck was all stiff now. I sat up and stretched myself. Just as I did,
Mr. Banner turned the lights on, and some of the students began to talk, but he
shushed them quiet again.

“Alright, pages 154 to 161 to Friday. Class dismissed.” He said, and all the
students began to pick up their books and exit the classroom. I groaned as I
remembered that I had P.E., which at the moment, wasn’t that tempting.
“What is it??” Edward asked and looked at me worriedly.

“Me next class is P.E.” I said, and he smiled understandingly.

“Try not to trip and fall.” He teased and began to walk out of the classroom, me
following him tiredly.

“Okay, I’ll see you.” I called after him as he began to walk towards his next class.
He grinned and waved, and then we parted. After being alone in 1 minute,
walking towards the gym, Mike was walking next to me, talking to me like we
we’re best buddies and all. I sighed and hoped he could get run over by a bus or
something. It may sound mean, but if you have spent time with him yourself, you
will know what I mean.

*After gym*

I walked out of the gym, a little sore in my arm from falling on it all the time, but I
was definitely more alert then before gym. The rain was still drizzling down from
the sky like it had in the morning as I walked over to my truck. When I was at the
door of it, I suddenly saw something big behind me. I turned around swiftly, and
seeing who it was, made me glare at him.

“What do you want? What are you doing here?” I said angry. His face was full of
remorse, and he looked at me puppy eyed.

“Please come home to our house!” Emmet begged and clamped his hands
together. Standing next to him was Alice, so much tinier than him, even though it
just separated a few years between the two siblings.

“No.” I said stubbornly and opened my car door. Both of them pouted at my
answer. I was still annoyed at the two of them. Emmet, because what he did last
week, and Alice because of the gossip thing.

“Please Bella; Esme would love to have you over dinner.” She said, and her
brown eyes with a slightly tint of topaz looked at me pleadingly. I sighed at the
two of them.

“Sorry, I have homework to do, and laundry, and Charlie needs dinner-“I said,
throwing excuses at them, when somebody laughed behind me. A laugh a
recognized very well.

“You have to dinner to Charlie?? That was a poor one. He can feed himself, you
know. He’s a big boy.” Edward teased and walked over to us. I slightly smiled as
he approached.

“I know that, but he will probably just become sick with food poisoning.” I said,
leaving out that Charlie actually wasn’t supposed to be home today, he was
going to be fishing with his friends. But unfortunately, one of them knew that.
“Bella, Charlie is going out fishing; you don’t have to make him any dinner.” Alice
said. “We asked him if he wanted to come over on dinner, but he couldn’t. But he
said that you could. Come on!”

“Please Bella??” Edward said, and as I looked at him, I regretted it. His eyes were
so easy to drown in…

“Eh, sure.” I said, hypnotized by the green in his eyes and all of them smiled. But
then I made my way back to reality. “Fine, I’ll come over, but I have still not
forgiven you Emmet.” I said and gave him a sharp look. He groaned, but walked
away to their car. I went inside mine and closed the door. They rain was getting
harder now, and I had no intentions of getting drenched.

*After the drive to the Cullen’s*

I stepped out of the car and rushed inside the house, Edward beside me, using
his jacket as a cover from the rain that was now pouring down hard. We got
inside, and I was met by a very happy Esme.

“I’m so glad you could come over Bella!” she said and hugged me friendly. I
smiled at her and walked inside, following Edward. We walked into the living
room, where we met Jasper and Rosalie, the Hale twins. Both of them smiled
when they saw us, and greeted us friendly. Alice skipped over to Jasper and gave
him a small kiss on his cheek. He smiled at her and you could see the love they
had for each other. I looked away, but clearly to the wrong direction, because
Emmet and Rose were having a huge make out session. I blushed and decided to
look at Edward. He was looking at me, and he smiled when he saw my face.

“Hey guys, cut it out. We have a guest, remember?? The one you insisted on
coming??” Edward said, and I smiled. The others smiled sheepishly and we sat
down in their couch.

“So…What are we doing now??” I asked after a moment of awkward silence.

Nobody answered.

“Well, any ideas??” I asked, and Alice’s face brightened up, and she was just
about to say something, when I added “And no makeovers.” She pouted and
crossed her arms in front of her, making her look like an elementary student.
Well, on the other hand, she always looked kind of like an elementary student. Of
course I didn’t say that.

“Okay, any other ideas??” I said, looking around.

“How about we watch a movie??” Rosalie suggested, and I nodded in approval.

“That sounds fun.” Jasper said and smiled at Alice, who was still looking at me
with longing eyes.

“Fine, I give up. What should we see then??” She sighed and leaned her head on
Jaspers shoulder.
“No chick-flick.” Emmet said, and I agreed. Rose and Alice groaned in
disappointment, and it left us all thinking. Suddenly, Emmet’s face brightened up
as well, and he looked really happy.

“I know! We can watch Bambi!!” He exclaimed, and I grinned. Even if I still was
pissed at him, he sure was good at picking movies. All of the others looked at him
like he was an idiot, except me.

“Come on, it’ll be fun. Besides, Bambi is a good movie.” I said. Edward, who was
sitting next to me, stood up.

“Alright then, Bambi it is.” he said and grinned. He walked over to their TV and
looked around in the drawers beside it. After a minute, he had put the movie on,
and was sitting in the sofa again.

*After the movie*

I sat in the sofa next to Edward as we watched the credits roll on the TV. My eyes
were all wet from the part where Bambi’s mother died, and I wiped them once
again. Across the room, Emmet sat. His eyes were red as well. We we’re the only
one who had cried during the movie. Edward reached me another tissue, and I
took it with gratitude.

“That is one good movie…” I said after I had wiped away my tears.

“I couldn’t agree more little sis.” Emmet said and grinned. The others nodded,
but they didn’t obviously like it as much as us.

“So…what are we going to do now??” I asked, sitting up straight.

“We’re going to eat.” Alice announced, and just as she had, Esme entered the
room.

“Dinner is ready.” She said and smiled motherly. All of us moved into the dining
room and sat down.

“It looks delicious Esme.” I said and looked at her feast meals.

“Well thank you dear. Please, go ahead.” She told me and smiled. Carlisle, who
had arrived during our movie, smiled at his wife. We all started to eat.

*After dinner*

“It was nice having you here Bella; I hope you’ll visit us soon.” Esme said and
hugged me goodbye. Carlisle stood beside her and smiled at me, wishing me a
goodnight. Rosalie and Emmet smiled as well and said goodbye. Jasper was
leaning against the wall and smiled at me, saying goodbye as the others. Alice
hugged me like Esme had.

“Next time, there will be a makeover.” She said and let me go. I grimaced, but let
it go. Then there was only Edward left.
“Have a good night and drive safe.” He said and hugged me. His hug somehow
felt a lot warmer than the others, why I don’t know. I blushed a little and let him
go.

“Yeah, I will. Bye.” I said and walked out of the door.

The drive home was not that long, but it was lonely. But lonely or not, I got home.
The porch light was on when I got home. I turned the engine off, and stepped out
of the car. The rain had finally stopped, and it was now only a cold, cloudy
evening.

As I walked inside, I heard laughing from the living room. Several people
laughing.

“Dad??” I called as I walked inside. What I saw shocked me.

“Oh, hi Bella.” He said and looked at me. “I told you that Billy and I were going
out fishing, didn’t I??” he asked, and I nodded, not looking at him anymore.
Instead, I looked at the other person here. He grinned at me and waved.

“Hi Bells, what’s up??” Jake greeted me and grinned.
