"..was here with his brother Carlisle."
My head snapped up and I stared at the smug face of Ben Cheney.
"What?" I asked.
"I saw Edward here the other day with Carlisle."
I thought fast.
I gasped and pretended to look outraged.
"And in my territory?!"
Ben guffawed and proceeded in chewing whatever it was he was chewing. He then coughed and straightened up when Rose came back to sit next to me in our table in the canteen.
"Hi Ben." Rose greeted.
"Ollo."
I laughed at him, then took a sip of the soup Rose bought.
"Loraine likes you." Rose sighed as she twisted her bottled water open and took a sip.
I glanced at Ben and saw that he was texting.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"Yeah, I need to talk to her."
That made me sit up straight. "Why? What happened?"
She shrugged while she ate more of her soup, "She's troubled. A troubled kid. She's just bad. Her Dad doesn't know what to do with her."
I frowned as I rested my gaze on some grade schoolers rolling their over- sized bags from the dirt parking lot to the canteen.
Loraine is one of Rose's students; I think she has a learning disability. I don't really ask what the diagnosis is with each of her students, I just figure it out later on. Rose is the guidance counsellor in the special education department at school; she handles the special students in the high school and grade school department.
I talk to them a lot. And since they see Rose as a teacher and me as just her sister, they feel more comfortable with me.
I'm a second year psychology student, majoring in guidance and counselling. People think I just copied Rose but the truth is, she wanted to major in clinical psychology at first but just ended up in guidance and counselling. She works in the university that I go to, and I can connect more with her students because I went to elementary and high school there too.
I frowned, "Loraine just needs someone to talk to, someone that doesn't seem like authority."
"Ooooh. Someone like you?" Ben interjected.
I threw my pen at him, but quickly took it back after he caught it. It was a G-Tech.
"Shut up!" I laughed at him.
Rose smiled widely at Ben, "Shouldn't you be studying?" She teased.
"Yeah, how do you expect to impress Angela if you fail your finals?" Rose and I shared a smile.
Ben scratched the back of his head while he tried to stop his smile from forming.
"I have a girlfriend."
"Okay."
"I do."
"Sure."
"Anyways, I saw them here walking near the high school."
"Who'd he see?" Rose interjected
"Edward Cullen and his brother."
Her eyes narrowed. "Oh." I gave her a knowing smile then faced Ben again.
"Yeah, like a couple of days ago. He got so tall!"
I nodded because hell, I knew how tall he was. He was 5'9 back then. What more now?
"They were probably doing something for Bud—their brother here in high school." I caught myself before calling his little brother, Garret Buddy what their family calls him.
"Oh yeah, they have a little brother here." Ben said slouched in his seat, then snatched my study sheet from my hands.
"Yeah, I hear he's a little trouble maker." I said, as if I did just hear it from anywhere.
My sister then scoffed beside me, "He's a frickin' bully to the speds."
We all laughed.
I then shoved Ben in the shoulder, "As if you aren't."
He put his hands up in defence, "Hey, I don't bully them. They're friends with me."
Ben is the son of the janitor in the SPED department, you would think people would give him grief for being his father's son but having a basketball scholarship and being the way he is, made him be respected.
He also pretends to not have a thing for my friend Angela, but he so does. The whole 'best friend' thing could only do so much.
I took my study sheet back from his hands and started fixing my stuff.
"Alright children, I must go." I stood up.
"But I just got here!" Charlotte jogged up to us.
"But you didn't eat yet!" Rose exclaimed at the same time.
"Good morning, Rosie!" Charlotte greeted my sister while she kissed my cheek.
"I have to go guys, my test starts in five minutes." I pouted back at Charlotte while she jerked her head the other direction in mock anger.
"I have to go to the office soon too..." Rose sighed as she finished up her breakfast.
"Okay well, Ben you stay with Charlotte while she waits for Peter to come with her breakfast, and Char, I shall be back for you later." I pointed my study sheet at her.
"Good luck!" she wished me.
"Bye Bella." Rose called.
As I walked to the CAS (College of Arts and Science) building I started feeling something building from the pit of my stomach, then a shock in my chest.
I could feel my blood boiling with anger and irritation.
How dare he?
How dare he be in the same location as me?
My territory!
I was being irrational, I know. I just hate that he could just waltz in here.
But I could also feel my heart beating so hard and so fast, it's like I could hear it in my ears.
He could have seen me.
Holy shit. He could have seen me.
Did I want him to see me?
It's been around a year since we last spoke to one another.
It's been around a year and five months since we last saw each other.
But it's around been two months since I last saw him.
The next time Edward Cullen ever sees me, he will regret the day he left me.
I looked up and before I turned to enter the building, I eyed my reflection in the glass of the bulletin board in front of me.
Oh, he will regret alright.
