Mike Newton! - unlucky, she chooses Edward =] great choice!!
In Chapter Four of Twilight, called Invitations, Bella's gets asked to the school dance by Mike then Eric and lastly Tyler. Bella's exscuse to not go to the dance is that she is going to Seattle. Edward asks her if she wants a ride to Seattle and Bella agrees. It is also the chapter after the car almost hit bella.
Vampires can hear a lot better than humans, so he heard what Bella said to Mike as an excuse not to go with him to the prom.Also, in Twilight, Vampires can read minds. Chances are; he read Newton's mind and then asked Bella afterwards.
Well after Mike is sick and goes home. Jacob takes Bella home, them goes home himself. She phones in the day after to learn that his temperature etc. is the result of Mono. In actual fact, Jacob has begun his first phasing into a wolf.
In the novel, Edward doesn't offer to take Bella home from school, he forces her, she does not want to but then she gives up and gets in his car anyway. He takes her home due to her feinting in her Biology class because of the smell of blood, as they were blood typing that lesson (Edward was not in the class of course but he saw Mike taking Bella to the nurses office and went to help out- carried her there. This is not included in the film if you are confused). After Bella feels better she realises that she has gym class and doesn't want to go, Edward sweet talks the receptionist into allowing Bella to go home and so he drives her home as he believes she is in no fit state to drive.
