Chapter 1: The Competition

Edwards POV:

"Edward!" Jacob Black, my friend called to me.

"Hey Jake, what's up?" I asked as we headed in the direction of the cafeteria.

"Nothing much, you?"

"Nothing." I replied. Before I knew it, we were at the cafeteria. I pushed open the doors before we walked to our table.

"Hey Edward, Jake." They greeted us.

We said a quick 'hello' before I asked, "Who wants to get my lunch today?"

Everyone shouted at once that they wanted to buy it. "Jessica, you can get it." I ordered.

She smiled at me, at what looked like her attempt to look sexy but it ended up looking stupid because she had food in her teeth.

After she bounded off, Tyler turned to me, "So Edward, you hear about the competition yet?"

"No." All the guys grinned at me evilly with a mischieveous look in their eyes. Uh oh, I knew that look.

"Well, basically we're all going to find a girl to date and whoever get's their's first is the winner." Said Jacob, but I had I feeling that he wasn't finished. "And, we each chose which girl we had to choose, so that means I get to pick yours!" He grinned at me.

I groaned. "Who did you pick?" I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Jacob was still grinning at me like an idiot. " I chose Bella Swan!"

"WHAT?!" I yelled, causing everyone in the cafeteria to look at me curiously. I couldn't believe he chose Swan of all people! She was the geek of our school and no one liked her.

"Chillout man, once you get her to fall in love with you- which will not be hard considering all the girls here love you, you can just dump the freak." Jacob smirked.

Jessica then came back. I grabbed it from her hands and glared up at her. She had chosen salad and potatoes. "How many times do I have to tell you?! I hate SALAD AND POTATOES!" I yelled, causing her to flinch. I stood up so that I was now towering over her. "I-I'm sorry...I-I forgot."

Her stuttering and fear in her eyes suddenly sent me into a flashback.

Flashback

"D-Daddy I'm sorry..." I said nervously. He glared down at me harshly before grabbing his beer bottle from the counter. "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO CLEAN THE DISHES!" He yelled in fury before throwing his bottle againest the wall.

It shattered and I quickly stumbled away from it, not wanting to get hit. "I'm sorry Daddy I didn't have enough time a-and-" He cut me off by slapping me across the face. I whimpered and touched my stinging cheek.

He left the room before coming back with his belt. I gulped and stumbled away. "Get over here right now." He demanded. My mother then walked in and smirked at me. "Elizabeth?" My father said, looking over at her. She seemed to get the message.

She walked over to me before putting her arms around my waist. For a second I thought she was hugging me but then she started dragging me forward. "NO! Please don't Mommy!" I screamed, thrashing in her arms. She let out a bitter laugh. "Shut up and stop struggling." I ignored her words and continued thrashing in her arms.

Mommy pulled out a chair from the table and sat me in it. I sobbed loudly as she pulled my shirt off and tied my hands behind my back roughly. "Please Daddy..." I whimpered.

He chuckled loudly. "Do you know why I'm punishing you?" He asked me. "N-No..." I whispered.

He whipped the belt againest my stomach and punched me in the face. I screamed out in pain as I felt the blood trickling down my face. "WRONG ANSWER!" He yelled before he slapped me again.

"Answer me! DO YOU KNOW WHY I'M PUNISHING YOU?!" He screamed, his face a inch from my own.

I wracked my brain to remember earlier. He told me to clean the house and the..dishes? Yes! It was the dishes! "I-I didn't do the dishes Daddy." I said quietly.

"That's right. And now I am teaching you a lesson so we don't have to have this happen again!" He said. He continued beating me with his belt across the stomach. I screamed out in pain as it started to become excrusiating.

"SHUT UP! I don't need the neighbors to hear you! Now shut your mouth or I will gag you like last time!" Daddy had a glint in his eyes as he said this.

I tried to as hard as I could but I couldn't stop. He grabbed my shirt and ripped it in two before shoving one in my mouth. I tried yelling through the gag but it came out as "Mmmmm!"

He laughed at me before saying, "Elizabeth put him on the ground on his stomach." I stared at him with wide fearful eyes. She untied my hands and flipped my on my stomach. Silent tears flowed down my cheeks, blurring my vision as I heard a loud 'SMACK' before I felt it. I screamed into the gag.

My vision started to get fuzzy as the pain became unbearable. I let out one last scream into the gag before it all went black.

End Flashback

"EDWARD!" Jacob yelled in my face, snapping his fingers in front of my eyes. I jumped.

"What?" I snapped. I wasn't in the mood.

"I have been trying to get your attention for the last five minutes!" He said, frustrated.

"Oh, sorry." I replied, quietly.

"I was going to say that the bell is going to ring soon." Jacob glared at me.

"Uh, Edward?" Asked a quiet voice. "What?"

"I just wanted to apologize about buying salad and potatoes." She said. I looked up to see Jessica.

"Whatever, just throw it out." I ordered. She quickly hurried off. The bell then rang. Great, now I have biology with Swan.

I sighed as I trudged off to my class. As I entered the room I looked beside me to see that Swan was already here.

"Hey Bella." I said giving her a crooked grin.

She blushed and looked down before muttering a 'hi'. God she looks so beautiful when she blushes. Wait, what? Swan was a total nerd, she was not beautiful.

I ignored her for the rest of the class, not knowing what else to say.

I sighed in relief as the bell rang.

Hey guys! So the first chapter is over, I know I'm sorry it's short. And I'm also really sorry that I haven't updated in such a long time! I've been having a hard time with Lost & Found but I will try my best to write the next chapter for you guys. I hoped you enjoyed the first chapter and please review! :)
