Chapter 4

Edward had been ignoring Bella as of late and she was very frustrated with him. Jessica also told Bella that a dance where the girls ask the boys was coming up and Jessica asked if she could ask Mike. Bella, of course, said yes because she had no interest in Mike. The next day though Jessica looked very depressed ans Bella only guessed it was because Mike had said no.
In biology Mike was sitting on the edge of Bella's table trying to ingnore Edward. Then he suddenly told Bella that he wished that she would ask him to the dance. Bella felt guilty, but she told him that she would be out of town and that he should go with Jessica. By the end of the day Bella had gotten two more invitation to the dance, which she turned down, from Tyler and Eric. Edward stopped Bella the next day before class to tell her they shouldn't be friends, but that he couldn't help wanting to spend time with her he also asked her if she needed a ride to Seattle the day of the dance. Bella had her doubts, but she accepted his invitation anyway.
