"Hey Bella, did um...did any of the Cullens or the Myers come around to you?" Angela asked quietly, leaning closer to Bella whom was dazing out the class window. "Oh, uh...no. How about you?" Bella answered truthfully, despite being confused about the question. "No...I-It's not like I'm trying to be weird about it, it's just that...Edward seems to dislike me." Angela wandered off, her face a soft hue of red as she fiddled with her glasses. Bella smiled softly, Angela was her first friend in Forks and deserved to be loved. Angela's a very pretty girl, at least in Bella's opinon, she had a very well structured face, long silky black hair that Bella admired, glasses that sat upon her straight pointed nose and complimented her tilted almond eyes. Angela's eyes were very dark, almost pitch black if it weren't for the little glint of hazel that peaked through. Bella admitted that her eyes were very beautiful, and she almost felt envious, but she knew that Angela happened to be the most humble and insecure girl in town.

    "Um, but, Venus was pretty...uh, rude? I suppose?" Bella tried to recall. Immediately realising that her words might place a bad a impression on Angela, Bella hastily fixed her words again. "I mean, I was probably invading her space and uh...She might have been having a bad day and...-" Angela chuckled, her eyes gaining that little glint that suggested she was about to tease Bella. "Bella, you seem to be pretty interested in her."

   "No, what? No!" Bella expressed, yet her face was contorted into a bashful and anxious manner. "Well, yeah she's pretty and stuff and her hair is very beautiful, and she's really smart in class but it's not like that!" She uttered, almost feeling her face burn with embarrassment as she couldn't prevent herself from speaking. Angela cackled, her nose scrunched up as she snorted at Bella's pathetic attempt to cover up her obvious admiration towards Venus.
"It's alright Bells, I'm not gonna tease you about it anymore." Angela surrendered, feeling slightly bad for making her friend feel so shy and embarrassed. Bella huffed, playfully nudging Angela who chuckled.

"Oh yeah? What about you and Edward?" Bella asked. Angela froze, her face both going pale and reddening as well. "What do you mean?" Quick to try and make an effort to defend herself, Bella quickly cut in with a grin. "Don't act like you don't know. You and him were ogling each other the other day in the cafeteria." The tall brunette made a soft yet embarrassed squeak, her hands immediately covering her flushed face. "We weren't ogling, just analyzing each other..." Angela mumbled. Bella grinned, leaning back in her seat as she looked towards the board at the front of the class. "Mhm, sure Angel." Bella hummed.

I laughed, Angela really did make my days far better than sitting around Jessica who seemed to grow the habit of picking at every little 'basic' thing about me. She really did make me feel better about myself, and I'm glad to be friends with her. Angela quickly signed that she had to go toilet just a bit ago, so now I'm just standing outside near the lockers.
The Cullens and Myers haven't been seen for a week, and even though my heart has been weirdly put into such a deranged state, I managed to look past it as a rather strong impression.

The wind was knocked out of me as I felt a rough push on my shoulder, my back slamming against the lockers. Despite the pain that now ached in my back and shoulder, I looked up in shock of who did it. "Hey, Bella." Mike? Mike Newton? "Um, hey?" I responded, utterly disturbed by his rough behavior and how he touched me rather aggressively. He pulled a weird face, something like a smirk and a smolder, but hit by a truck. It made me feel sick, as if my sixth sense was letting me know his intentions weren't just.
"So I was wondering, the prom dance is hanging around the corner and I was hoping if you wanted to go with me." Despite the obvious stutters and his hand fidgeting on my shoulder, he seemed pretty determined. However, I just didn't like the guy. I refused to make eye contact, looking pretty much everywhere else but him.
"Uh, well you see..." Shit, think of something, anything! "I uh..." Oh fuck, didn't Renee want to meet me around then? "My mom is actually pulling me out to meet with her." I blankly responded, still keeping my head down to avoid his harsh stare. "Come on, Bells. We can have fun." The way he said it made my skin shiver, like it suddenly got freezing cold and made me uncomfortable. "Thanks, but no. It's important." Breathe. Just breath, I'll be fine. The minute he goes away, I'll be fine. Breathe. Don't look at him. Ignore the way his hand is tightened on my shoulder. But it hurts. Ignore it. "It wasn't a question, Isabell-"
