"I Love My Own Rival"
Chapter 1:
Edward POV
"Ms .Swan, Mr. Cullen" Mr. Banner announced as he gave us our recent Biology test paper results, "Congratulations for the both of you!"
I peeked at my test paper; I had a perfect score so she was. I sighed, no one won over us again. Our grades are always tied! It's so frustrating! I spent my time reviewing my notes then nothing happened! I groaned at the thought.
"Is there any problem Mr. Cullen?" Mr. Banner turned around; I guess I groaned a little loud that's why she heard me.
I shook my head and smiled, "Nothing sir" then the bell rang
"Nice game" I muttered silently at her. She just looked at me darkly and got out of the room.
"Congratulations, Brother!" My sister, Alice, greeted me merrily
"Thanks" I said expressionlessly then sighed
"What's with the sad face?" she asked with a worried tone
"Nothing, it's just that we both tied" I gritted through my teeth.
"Really? That's fantastic!" she clapped her hands together then stopped when I looked at her
"What's so fantastic about it? You care more for her than me?" I shouted, my hands balled into fists
She touched my shoulders, "Hey, calm down. She's just my bestfriend and like my sister, that's all"
"But I'm your brother!" I shouted, again
"Hey! I treat you both fairly. You're the one who's fighting" her voice, quietly teasing
"Well, you're not" I snapped and looked away from her.
"They will have a dinner at our place this evening" she said in a rush
My eyes widened, "WHAT?"
She nodded slowly, "Yes, mom's the one who invited them"
"There's no way I can be with that girl! Even in one night and one hour! I can't even stand her with just one minute!" I shouted, that made the people in that area looked at me
"Hey, can't you remember? You're classmates and seatmates every year" she corrected me, right. Then why did I manage to be with that girl for the past few years?
"That's different"
"No, it's not. No choice again, Mom's the one who arrange it. Not me" she said the suddenly giggled
"What?"
She looked up to me, "What, 'what'?"
"Why did you giggle like that?"
"Oh, nothing" she said quietly—blushing
"What's with the blush?" I asked then something came to me, "Oh, okay I get it, Jasper"
"Jasper who?" she lied
I pinched her blushing cheeks, "Stop pretending that you don't know him. It's very obvious that you have a crush on him"
Her eyes widened in horror, "What? It's obvious?"
"See," I said waving my two hands in front of her
She gasped, "You! You tricked me!" she screamed on top of her lungs
I covered her mouth immediately, because all the people are staring at our table again, gawking "Could you please be quite?" I whispered, she said something under my hand which I can't understand
"What did you say?"
She removed my hands on her lips, "How can I speak with your hand on my mouth? I said you're very mean for tricking me!"
"Oh, shut up!" then Rosalie came, my other sister. Rosalie looks like a runaway model with her long blonde hair and blue eyes and also her sexy figure.
"What's with the shouting about?" she asked then seated beside Alice, sometimes people have mistaken us as couple
"Isn't it obvious whom we are talking about?" I said chewing the pizza she bought
"Oh, Bella?" I nearly chocked when she said Bella's name
"Shut up! She's not the one! Why would I be babbling about her? Never!"
"Easy Edward. Just asking—oh I know who! Jasper" she squealed very happily at Alice
"Exactly" I mumbled dryly
Alice giggled, "Why so defensive about, Bella?"
I swallowed, "Nothing"
She and Rosalie whispered something at each other, wonder what it was. But I'm confident it was me—it's obvious on the way they looked at me! I crumpled some tissue papers and threw it at them.
"You pixie! What in the hell are you telling her!"
They both laughed, "Nothing!" I sighed, Girls! I screamed in my head
"Bella!" Alice greeted looking behind me; I turned around slowly then saw her holding a tray with an apple and a chocolate. The chocolate has a pink stiff paper attached to it. Love letter? From whom?—wait why do I even care?
"You're coming at our home later to have dinner, right?" Alice's voice was sweet
"Oh, yeah. Later" she spoke as if she'd just remember
"You'll bring Jasper, right?" Alice's voice again has that irritating sweet voice
"And also Emmett, right?" Rosalie snapped
Bella laughed, "Of course" she paused, "See you later" she said only at the two girls and started walking but Rosalie caught her arm
"Would you not say goodbye to... Edward?" Rosalie trailed then looked at me.
She turned slowly at me and put up a tried to smile, "See you later" she tried her voice to be convincing
"Okay" was all I can say.
"Bye, Bella!" they both waved their hands at her and Bella just smiled and walked towards the table, at table from ours. She seated facing me, she looks like she's kind of sad... she's just looking outside the window and listening to her IPod, like thinking from a very far place—thinking very deeply.
Bella's been dating Mike I think. Well he thinks of himself as a handsome but he's not. And I saw what had happened last night, poor Mike and poor Bella too. Wait, why am thinking about them? I thought to myself.
"Hey, Edward, Bella's been dating Mike for like—a month, right?" Rosalie, interrupted, good thing
I shrugged, "Why would I be interested in the both of them? I don't know anything about them" I lied at the last part
"Oh, you're not? Or maybe you're just jealous of Mike—"
"And why would I be jealous of that stupid jerk?"
"You never know" Alice and Rosalie chorused
"Never know what?" I said with a stern voice
"That you like her!"
"Me? Excuse me. I will never fall for my mortal enemy." I said the muttered silently, "Never"
They both laughed then Alice came up with a thought, "Oh—there's a saying..." she trailed then turned to Rosalie. They both exchange glances then,
"The more you hate the more you love!"
