From Friend to Boyfrined

Chapter 9

BPOV

The next day at school as I was walking down the halls to my first-period class, everybody was talking about how Jasper liked me and that he was the reason why mine and Edward's relationship didn't work out.

I had not slept at all last night. My brain had been too busy running over the idea of Jasper, my friend since forever, having a crush on me. Plain old Bella Swan.

The more I have been thinking about the idea of me and Jasper being a couple, the more I am starting to like it.

I mean he is cute, smart and we have been friends forever. Why wouldn't I want Jasper to ask me out?

"Hey, Bella. Did Jasper ask you out yet?" Jessica asked me as I sat down in my seat in my English class.

I looked up at her where she was standing in front of my desk. "No, he didn't. I haven't even seen him today." I told her trying to hide my annoyance at her.

"Oh, well Lauren is going to ask Jasper out today at lunch. She thinks that since she is way prettier than you, that she can steal his heart from you." Jessica said to me, and then she started to laugh like a mad scientist.

Then she went skipping away to go flirt with Mike at the front of the classroom.

What the hell? I thought that Jasper likes me? And if he does then what makes Lauren think that she can change his mind?

I know that I am not the prettiest girl at school and Lauren is pretty, sure, but she is mean and nasty and Jasper would never fall for her charms. I know him well enough to know that.

But then why I am so scared that I am going to lose my guy before he is even officially mine!

The lunch bell had just rung and all through my first two classes, I heard people talking about how I have a crush on Bella! Some people even came up to me and asked me if it was true.

How the hell did they find out? Jessica or Lauren must have heard me talking to Edward!

Dame!

I wonder if Bella heard these rumours. What does she think about this? What if she doesn't like me back and she is just avoiding me because she is embarrassed?

I have got to talk to her and straighten things out.

As I entered the cafeteria I did not see Bella anywhere so I got my lunch and sat at our table and decided to wait for her to come.

"Hey, Jasper!" I heard I high squeal from behind me. Then all of a sudden Lauren was sitting down in front of me with a big fake smile on her face.

"Hey, Lauren. What's up?" I asked her. Why would Lauren be talking to me? We have gone to school together since first grade and she has never said more than two words to me.

"I just wanted to let you know how much I like you. I mean you are so sweet Jasper and I have just now realized that we would be such a great couple!" Lauren said. She was smiling sweetly at me and batting her eyelashes at me.

Did she really just say that? I thought dumbfounded.

"Okay...what's the catch?" I asked her looking at her worriedly.

"No catch Jasper. I just can't hold my feeling for you in any longer!" She shouted, then she grabbed my face from across the table and she kisses me on the lips!

I can't believe it, Lauren the biggest B***h in our school, along with Jessica, is kissing me.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I yelled at her, discussed, as I pushed her away.

"But Jasper I thought that you might like me?" Lauren said with the most innocent look on her face. Oh, she was a good actress.

"Why would you think that? Everybody in school knows that I like Bella. Thanks to you and Jessica. And even if I didn't like Bella, I would never like someone like you. You are selfish and mean to other people and you think that you are better than everyone else because you are rich. I could never go out with a girl like that!" I told her.

She had a shocked expression on her face, I guess guys don't turn her down often. Well someone had to do it sometime.

Then I stomped out of the cafeteria determined to find Bella and hopefully, we could finally talk and maybe I will be able to tell her my feelings in person.
