But, God, does it feel so good, cause I got him where I want him now. And if tu could than tu know tu would, cause God it just feels so...it just feel so good....

Jazz and I were the ones left escritura the newspaper article; Rosalie had to work, Emmett and Edward had baseball practice, and Bella had a babysitting job to get to. Emmett turned out not to be much help. Sixth period happened to be free period for me, Jazz, and Em. All my cousin did was sit and read over my shoulder. After school, Jazz and I went over to his house to work on the article. "Hello, Alice," Jazz's mom welcomed when we got inside. "Hello, Mrs. Whitlock," I said, smiling and hugging her. After all these years, I still referred to Jazz's parents as Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock, and Jazz stil referred to mine as Mr. and Mrs. Brandon. What can I say? Old habits die hard. "What are tu two up to?" Mrs. Whitlock asked. "Writing an articulo for the school newspaper," Jazz answered. "We'll be upstairs brainstorming if tu need us." "All right," Mrs. Whitlock agreed. One of the best things about Jazz's mom was that she wasn't nosy. If we'd gone to my house, my mom would have insisted that she read the article. That's why Jazz and I always went over to his house to work on extra things. "All right," Jazz dicho once we were safely inside his dad's study. "All we need is a few más sentences, and we can type it up and print it. I'll give it to Bella tomorrow and it'll be in the newspaper por siguiente Monday." "Okay, then," I giggled, sitting down at the desk.

Jazz was right. The siguiente Monday, the school newspaper had our articulo as the headline and everyone was lectura it. I picked one of the newpapers up and scanned the headline. Maria, popular, snobby...bipolar? it read. Bella was an absolute saint. She hadn't changed a single word of the article, and she didn't put the author. "Author unknown?" I heard Maria's annoying voice behind me. I turned to see the queen of Hearts and her only two friends in the world as far as I knew, Lucy and Nettie. Lucy used to be one of my friends until Maria told her to stop talking to me and threatened her with blackmail. She stood behind Maria and Nettie now, looking ashamed as if she didn't want to be there, which she probably didn't. She saw me looking and gave me a shy wave. I half-smiled at her before turning back to the she-devil. "I'm pretty sure who the autor is," she sneered. "You have no clue how bad I'm going to get tu back for this, Brandon." I didn't know Jazz was behind me until he spoke. "I'm the one who wrote it, Maria. Not Alice." I looked up at him in surprise. Well, it was half true. He'd told me what to write...but would he really take the credit for me? Jazz seemed to sense my alarm and smiled his heart-warming smile and wrapped one arm around my waist before his face went cold and he turned back to Maria, holding me tight siguiente to him. "Look, if tu wanna mess with someone, mess with me. Because I've created más shit in your life than Alice has." "Are tu admitting to cheating on me with this sl--" Maria was cut off when Lucy finally blew. "He never cheated on you!" she shouted. "You cheated on him! Not everything is about you! The whole world doesn't revolve around Maria! You'd be surprised to find out how many people tu hang out with hate your guts! I'm one of them! I'm on Alice's side in this! Wanna know why? Because I like Alice, not you!" We all stood there in shock and stared at Lucy while she calmed down. Finally I smiled and walked over to Lucy and hugged her. "I always knew tu could stand up for yourself, Lu," I dicho to her, pulling out of the hug and grinning at her. "I never meant to blow up like that," Lucy admitted, grinning sheepishly, "but I'm sort of glad I did." Lucy was, once again, my friend.
