Chapter 1: Boyfriend(s)

BPOV

"Mmm… I gotta get back to work." I moaned, pulling away from Jacob. I still couldn't believe that he was my boyfriend. We'd been together for three years. Three perfect, amazing years, in my opinion. I still had a hard time grasping the fact that he wanted me.

"No, stay here." He whispered. I stood on my tippy toes and pressed my lips to his one last time.

"Sorry," I said as I scuttled off into the store and over to the cash register. I'd been working at Newman's Sporting Goods for about a year now, trying to save money for college and what not. And now, since it was summer, I'd been working my butt off. During the day I would be at work and at night, Jake, Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmett and I usually hung out. But the summer would be over in a matter of weeks.

My phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket. I sighed and pulled it out, reading the text:

Bella… Are you working again? We have to finish shopping!

Alice

Alice took it upon herself to sign us both up for the beauty pageant that's being held by our school in two weeks. She's been going crazy over it ever since. I've been to the mall looking at bathing suits and evening gowns so many times that I literally despise that place. I don't know why she likes it. It's always packed full of people buying things they can't possibly need. I should have been a guy.

Al, I'm getting off early today. Meet me at two.

Bella

Work was a drag. I was glad when the clock finally stuck 2 p.m. I walked towards the back of the store to sign out and to take my smock off when a pair of hands pulled me around the corner. I jumped and almost screamed, but relaxed when I realized who it was. I smiled at Tyler and before I could say anything, his lips were in contact with mine. I put my arms around his neck and he put his around my waist, pulling me closer to him. We continued kissing for a few minutes then I pulled away and smiled. "Hey,"

"Hey yourself." He said back.

Tyler was my… make out buddy. That sounds really wrong, but I just couldn't help it! I mean look at those adorable lips… Stop it! I scolded myself. I was with Jake. I was happy with Jake… right? Well, even if I wasn't, it was wrong to cheat on him. But I didn't want to break up with him. But I didn't want to stop making out with Tyler either. God, I'm such a lair.

I blushed and pulled away from him. "I gotta meet Alice, I'm sorry… I'll, uh," He cut me off.

"Meet me at the same place tomorrow?"

I smiled. "Yep," He leaned into kiss me one more time. "See ya." I said then scurried into the back. After I signed out and hung up my smock, I headed out the back door of the store and walked around towards the side, where Alice was waiting for me in her bright yellow Porsche.

I climbed into the passenger's side and buckled my seat belt then she took off. "Did you have a good day?" She asked. I hoped that she couldn't tell that my face was flushed from kissing Tyler. I reached up and flipped open the visor to look at my face in the mirror. It looked okay.

"Yeah. It was slow, but good."

"Good. So, we still need to find you shoes and a bathing suit, correct?"

I sighed dramatically. "Unfortunately. I still can't believe you signed me up for this without telling me."

I saw her roll her eyes. "Ah, come on Bella. Don't you want to kick start our senior year with some fun?"

"Yes, but your fun and my fun are to totally different things."

"Everyone knows that Rose is going to win, so why should I, or anyone else, even bother? I don't know why Jessica and Lauren even entered after they heard she was in it." I said.

"Self-esteem issues?" Alice offered.

I giggled. "Oh, Rosalie won't affect their self-esteem at all." I replied sarcastically.

"Speaking of Rose, where is she? Wasn't she coming with us?" Alice asked.

"She was supposed to, but Emmett asked her if she wanted to hang out for the day and, well, when has she ever passed up and offer that included Emmett?"

"Well, she still has to find an evening gown! We only have so much time left."

"Al, take a breather. We have fourteen days."

"Alright." And with that, our conversation ended until we got to the mall. We decided to eat some crap from the food court before exploring. I ate as slowly as I could, to prolong the moment of not shopping, but that could only last for so long. Alice drug me into brand name stores and threw shoes and swim suits at be faster than I could even look at them. By the time I tried them all on, I forgot what the first ones looked liked.

After two torturous hours, we found shoes and a suit and we were free to leave. We loaded everything into her car then started driving to Rose's house. I'd forgotten to take my phone off of vibrate when I got off of work, so I quickly pulled it out and saw that I had two missed calls; they were both from Jake. I called him back and he answered after the third ring.

"Hey Bells." He said cheerfully. My heart melted.

"Hey Jake. Did you call me?"

"Yeah, what are we doing tonight?"

I looked over at Alice. "Al, what are the plans for tonight?"

"I'm having dinner with Jasper. Is that Jacob?"

"Yeah," I said to her then pulled the phone back to my mouth. "Nothing's set in stone. Jasper's taking Alice out to dinner. What do you wanna do?"

"I don't know. Go to the movies, walk around town a little? It's supposed to be nice out tonight."

"Okay, sure. After I get done at Rose's I'll have Alice drop me off at your house."

"Alright, see you soon."

"Bye." I said, hanging up. Alice and I enjoyed the rest of our dive, listening to music and gossiping. Once we got to Rosalie's, Alice made me unload the bags from the backseat, insisting that I should model the bathing suit and practice walking in the heals for everyone since I should be getting use to it. I sighed, but didn't feel like arguing. We walked into the house without knock and found Emmett straddling Rose, kissing her on the couch.

"Oh my god, get a room." Alice said in disgust. Rose quickly sat up, trying her best to shove Emmett off of her.

"Well, you could have knocked." She replied

"When do we ever knock?" I asked.

"Good point." Rose said. She stood up and straightened out her blouse and skirt. Emmett got up and gave Alice and me bear hugs. I got out of the modeling, thanks to Emmett. He said he really wasn't in the mood to drive me to the hospital because I tripped while wearing the heals. I stuck my tongue out at him, but was secretly glad. I asked Rose and Emmett if they wanted to join Jake and me tonight, but they said that they already had plans as well. I was okay with that. Jake and I hadn't had a whole lot of alone time lately.

Alice dropped me off at Jake's and from there we got into his car and headed for the movie theatre in Port Angeles. It was nice being alone with him. I hated bloody scary movies so, of course, he had to pick the most grotesque one he could find. I had my head tucked into his shoulder for most of the movie, which is probably why he had to choose that particular one. Afterwards, we left Jake's car at the theatre and decided to walk around.

To my surprise, it actually was nice out tonight. You could even see most of the stars.

We came across a park and went to sit down underneath a tree. Jake leaned in towards me and kissed me passionately. I felt really guilty because all I could think about was kissing Tyler. It was like I was comparing the two of them or something.

"What's wrong? You seem distracted."

I took a deep breath, searching for a lie. "I'm just thinking about the pageant." Whoa, I'm getting really good at the lying thing.

"I'm sure you'll be great."

I rolled my eyes. "Everyone knows that Rose is going to win."

"That's true," He said. I felt a twinge of jealously. I mean, Jake is my boyfriend. Shouldn't he think that I was going to win, even if it's not true? "But I'm sure you'll be the runner up."

"Gee, thanks," I said.

"Oh, I'm just kidding. I think you have a pretty good chance," He smiled my favorite smile then leaned over and kissed me again. After a few minutes, Jake pushed us back against the moist grass so that he was lying on top of me. When he started to reach for the button of my jeans, I pushed him off and stood up.

"Jake…" I shook my head.

"Come on Bella." He urged.

"No. I'm not ready. I'm sorry." I said. For the past month he'd been pushing me into having sex with him and that just something I really wasn't ready for yet. He cleared his throat then stood up too, looking upset.

"I need to get home soon." I said, so we walked back to Jake's car in silence and started driving back to Forks. I was staring out the window, just thinking about random things for most of the drive. When I noticed we were driving past the middle school, my head perked up.

"Still there," Jake said, amused. Of course he was referring to the spray painted lettering across the gym wall. My stomach sunk as I read it again, "Edward Cullen is a freak."

"Of course it's still there. It's been there for what, three and a half years?"

"Yup, something like that." He smirked. I still had a hard time believing that Edward and I had been best friends. But that was a long time ago. Before I was considered cool, or before I had Alice and Rose as best friends, or before I had the most perfect boyfriend in the world… Boyfriends, actually.

But I still felt guilty. I mean, it's not like Edward deserved to get chased out of town. He was just being honest… Well, maybe a little too honest, but still. I mean, writing an article for the newspaper about the football team cheating on their SAT's, would sort of piss some people off.

Before I knew it, Jake was pulling into my driveway. I unbuckled my seat belt and turned to kiss him quickly before I grabbed my shopping bags and got out of the car. He sped away before I'd even taken a step towards the door. I sighed and went inside. As far as I knew, everyone was sleeping. I tip toed upstairs, tripping a couple of times then went into my bathroom to shower and change. When I got done, I opened the bathroom door and was brushing my wet hair when my phone rang. I jumped out of my skin then answered.

"Hey Alice."

"Hey!" She screeched. "How was your night?"

"Pretty good, yours?" I asked. Alice babbled on and on for a while and I "uh-huhed" and "mm-hmed" at the right spots, trying to concentrate on my hair and brushing my teeth.

"Bella," Someone said from behind me. I turned around, aggravated.

"Hang on Al," I said then turned to my brother. "What?"

"Guess what." He had a huge grin on his face.

"What Mike?"

"Guess!"

"I don't know! Tell me or get out." I said.

He sucked in a deep breath. "Edward Cullen is back in town." And that was when I dropped my cell phone into the running water of the sink.

A/N: Okay, so just too clear things up, Bella is a little out of character, but there's a reason for that! Also, Bella has a younger brother named Mike, who will also serve a purpose in this story.
