:THREE:
i like you but you like someone else
(*Disclaimer: I don't anything but the plot!)
STELLA
I was having tons of fun with everyone. It was amazing how much these people understood me...I don't feel so unnoticed, sad, or afraid. But I guess that'll all change when I get home today.
I tried to not let out the tears I was keeping in. No use crying, now, Stella. I thought. I braced myself, and studied our table.
Someone was missing.
No, two someones. I counted everyone off in my head: Bella & Edward (who were currently making out, ugh) , Jacob, Jake, Lilly, Joe, Sonny, me... Miley and Nick were gone.
"Hey, has anyone seen Miley or Nick?" I asked. Everyone shrugged and went on with their conversation.
Damn, am I the only who gets a teensie bit worried? They could be in huge trouble right now... "Look, I'm taking a quick walk, search for them, ya know?" I made my way to get up.
"Wait, Stell! I'll come with." I turned around, to see Joe giving me a cheeky grin.
SONNY
Huh. So new girl may be okay with me, but Stella will have to go.
I watched, reluctantly, as Joe made his way towards Stella, leaving with her.
Everyone stared at me; the all knew about my major crush on Joe.
"Sonny, he doesn't really like her..." Bella tried cheering me up in an instant. "He's just trying to be friendly. I mean, Stella probably feels so out of place in this school. Don't worry."
"Yeah," Lilly chimed in. "C'mon, you're so gorgeous, any guy, especially Joe, would fall for you! Plus, look, he's your best friend. You guys have known each other practically forever."
I waved their comments away, hoping sincerely that it was true.
JOE
I don't know what made me suddenly have to guts to go with her. I think it was her eyes.
They were blue, just like Miley's. But I liked blond-hair-blue-eyes, and I guess that's why I preferred Stella against Miley, though Miley's body was definitely something to stare at all day.
"So, brother and Miles are missing...?" I smirked. Nick definitely had something for the girl, and she probably liked him back. Man, I'm going to be stuck all day wishing I was in Nick's shoes, I mean, who wouldn't want to look at her? But being with Stella was just as great.
"Yep. And BTW, did you see the look Sonny gave me when we left? I think she has a crush on you." She looked at me.
"Oh, that. Yeah. She does. She doesn't think I know, but I do, she's had a crush on me since we first met, problem is, I don't like her that way...we're just besties." I replied, cursing Sonny silently.
"Oh. Well, you should give her a try. She's really pretty, and I'm sure she's a really cool person."
"Yeah, but I'm pretty sure it's impossible to suddenly like someone you haven't felt anything for forever." I said, still cursing Sonny.
"True." she laughed, and I smiled at her.
"Okay, Joe, let's look in the-WHOA."
"What?" I looked to where she pointed. "OH. MY. GOD." Right there. Nick and Miley. Making out. Okay, maybe just kissing.
"Let's-let's not disturb them." Stella said, and we both headed back to the cafeteria as we heard the intercom announce that school would finally start.
NICK
I was walking home, after being dropped off by the bus.
Joe was nagging me, and kept asking if anything was on my mind, if I found someone I liked. It's like he knew I was dating Miley.
I sighed contently as I remembered.
Flashback-
"So, what does this make us?" Miley asked, leaning on Nick's shoulder.
Nick turned around, to face her. "Miley, would you be my girlfriend?"
"I'd love to."
End of Flashback
What a geek I am. It's my first girlfriend. My first kiss.
"So, have any fun with...Miley?" Joe nudged my shoulder. I stopped in my tracks. "Uh, no. Wh-why would you think that?"
"Because, Nicholas, I saw you two kissing!" He giggled. What a baby.
"Oh, that." I said flatly.
"Yes that," he answered as we reached our front door.
"Mommy!" Joe yelled. I swear sometimes this kid has problems. "Me and Nicky have something to tell youuu."
"No, Joe!" I slapped on the shoulder.
"OUCHIE. Okay, I'll forgive you this time, because you got your first girlfriend and first kiss today!" I hit him again.
"WHO GOT THEIR FIRST KISS?" This is exactly what I was afraid.
"MY NICKY GOT HIS FIRST KISS?" Aw, Mom.
I saw come rushing out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron. She squeezed me in a tight, breath-taking hug.
"Aw, my Nicky got his first kiss today! Who's the girl? Is she really pretty? Oh, I'm just SO happy!" she said to me, then turned to Joe, whispering, "At first I thought he was gay or something!"
"MOM!" I frowned, Joe laughed.
EDWARD
"Bella..." I reached for her hand, and we started towards my apartment.
"Edward?" she asked, and I squeezed her hand tighter, signalling for her to continue.
"Yes?"
"What did you think of that Miley girl?" she asked.
I thought Miley was pretty hot, for the truth. But I didn't feel anything, she was just a girl, any girl. "I thought she was really nice, and pretty, but, Bells, honey, I know what you're going to ask. Bella, I felt nothing, she's just someone else to become good friends with. I've never felt what I feel with you with anyone else. I love you, Bella."
"I believe you." I could tell she truly did. I really didn't love anyone else but Bella, and I loved Bella too much.
"Edward?" she asked again.
"Mhm?"
"I love you." she smiled.
We stopped, and I looked her in the eyes. I pressed my lips to hers. I still felt the shock every single time.
LILLY
"Hey, Sonny." Sonny and I met at the West Gate, we both lived close to school and decided to walk home each day.
"Hello, Lilly." Sonny replied. "I can't believe Joe."
"He didn't mean it, I'm sure." I reassured.
"Yeah, but now I hate Stella."
"Don't be so quick to judge people bad." I said, knowing how judge-mental Sonny could be. In fact, when I first met her, all I got was dirty looks and the silent treatment. But now, we were best friends.
"I know." she sighed. "But you know, I tend to get jealous."
"Don't think you're the only one." I said. "Maybe I've given up on Joe, but I can't ever stop thinking about Edward."
JAKE
I was the quiet one, probably the only one who hadn't said anything to Miley that day. Yeah, I had major crush on her, but I knew, knowing the look on Nick and Jacob's face, that there were already enough guys falling head-over-heels for her. I turned my mind towards Lilly.
She was beautiful, and I had liked her for a while. But I knew about her previous crush on Joe, then her crush on Edward. I knew myself that I would never get a chance with anyone I liked. In a way, I was just like Jacob, which made sense, since we were really good friends.
I waited for Jacob for a while, before he finally come running, his cheeks a light shade of red from running hard.
"Dude, chillax. What's wrong?" I asked as I patted him on the back.
"Running away from Millicent, that's all." he said, still huffing."Let's scat, dude!"
We cut through a few backyards before he was sure Millicent was far behind.
"Well, at least you have someone that likes you." I said, meaning for it to be a joke. "No one has any major crushes on me."
"Aw, you're kidding. Plenty of people like you." Jacob said.
"Yeah, sure." I scoffed.
"Like..." he started.
"Like?" I questioned.
"Like..." he struggled.
"Yeah. Told you." I said.
"Come on, dude, lighten up. Why don't you try and get someone to like you, rather than slumping down and ignoring everyone?"
STELLA
"You've got to tell me ALL about you a Nick, girl!" I giggled.
"How about we sleep over?" she suggested. "It's Friday!"
"Sure. Tell me then."
"Okay, now tell me what happened with you and Joe?"
"Nothing." she looked at me.
"Nothing!" I laughed. "Plus, I've got my eyes on Jake."
"Ohhh, the blond hottie? Yeah, I bet a million bucks he has an eight-pack." she laughed as well.
"Count me in!" I said back.
"Speaking of them...isn't that Jacob and Jake over there?" Miley shrugged her shoulder towards them.
"Right." I said. "Are things awkward between you and Jacob?" I knew what had almost happened between them.
"Yeah, but we've got to go over there! You've got to talk to Jake." she smiled, and I thanked Him silently for giving me such an amazing best friend.
JAKE
We were walking, when I suddenly heard my name being called.
"JAKE!"
It was Stella.
