Little Miss Perfect

I thought I'd have a POV from Edward, Bella and Alice in this chapter, just to make things a little more interesting. Ummm, I think that's everything...oh, the stuff in italics is the diologue from the previous chapter but you've probably already guessed that one, right?

Enjoy!

Edward POV

"You disgust me."

"That's my aim in life, Swan. Now can I get on with my work? I don't need you distracting me any longer."

I kept my eyes on my work for the rest of the lesson; I could feel the hate radiating out from her body, and at times I could feel her eyes boring into the back of my head like she wanted to start another argument with me, but I wouldn't rise to her pettiness. I would have the last word, I always had the last word with her and I knew it made her seethe.

I disgusted her, and that was how we needed to stay, in loathing of each other. I couldn't take that apology she tried to give me because it would mean that she was making an effort to be nice. It meant she knew I was offended by what she'd come out with and I couldn't have that. She'd have the upper hand against me and there was no way I was going to let that happen.

I had to still hate her in the way she hated me, it was how it had always been. It didn't matter that I found her so attractive that it hurt; our personalities would always clash and bring out the worst in us.

What annoyed me most about Bella was that whole 'holier than thou' crap, it irritated me to the bone. Why did she have to be so perfect? Why couldn't she be like the rest of the girls at school? They'd all done something stupid in their past, from something small like stealing a chocolate bar from the store, to something big like sleeping with one of the teachers. Bella had nothing on her, she was a clean state, and 100% angel as far as everyone was concerned.

I had a reputation and loved it. It made almost every girl want me and I knew all of them were curious about my past shenanigans, even Little Miss Perfect. I'd seen the way she'd start listening a little bit harder when her pixie looking friend would start telling her stuff about me loudly in the corridors. I could tell she wanted me; she just hated me even more for it, I mean who didn't want me, frankly.

All the girls in this school I could figure out in seconds if we got chatting, but with Bella, I couldn't figure out a thing and we'd had plenty of run-ins together. It was like all the normal girls were glass; I could see everything going on behind the exterior, it was as plain as day to me. Bella was like a stone, I couldn't see through no matter how hard I tried.

The only thing I could ever figure out was when I'd pissed her off so much that she'd stop talking to me, by then it was too late to say anything more, I'd won the battle.

The lesson finished and Bella packed at an inhuman speed and left without even a scathing glance. I smirked and packed up slowly as I caught Kelly waiting for me outside.

She was ok I suppose, not hideously ugly, but not stunningly beautiful either. She'd suffice for today, it's not like we'd be having another lunch date tomorrow.

"Hey there, beautiful." I called out to her as I walked out the empty classroom.

Kelly's mouth pulled into a huge smile and it looked like all her birthdays had come at once, no doubt when I'd finished with her she'd be on the phone to one of her girlfriends squealing that she'd been to bed with me.

They all did it when they thought I was out of earshot, they were all so predictable.

"Fancy coming over?" I whispered in her ear as we walked down the corridor while girls scowled in Kelly's direction, wishing it was them I had my arm around.

"Really?" she giggled slightly in shock.

Typical, that's what they all said. I really needed to branch out and find a different type of girl; it was like they'd all rehearsed the same thing to say to me when they got their chance, the same record on repeat.

As we walked into the parking lot I saw the old orange pickup truck with Bella trying to calm herself down in it. She was probably waiting for her friend, Tinkerbell so she could vent her fury.

"Have a nice evening, Swan" I shouted as I felt Kelly flinch against me, she was probably jealous that I was speaking to another girl.

"Go to hell, Edward." She shouted back at me.

I left Kelly standing there as I walked up to Bella's ride, I couldn't help myself, there was some kind of magnetic force that drew me into arguing with her.

"Now that stings, Swan, because I know you wholeheartedly meant that. You don't really wish hell on me, do you?"

"I wish Beelzebub and all his minions upon you, and if they appeared right now it would not be soon enough."

"For a church girl you really do possess at least three deadly sins." I said looking into her brown eyes, they were seething in anger, I liked it when I pushed her buttons, I loved getting a reaction out of Little Miss Perfect.

"No I don't." She stated with such assurance.

"Oh yes you do. Firstly, there's wrath, take the saints for instance, none of them wished hell on their enemies did they? I mean as soon as you look at me it's plain upon your face, I think everyone in this parking lot can vouch that you're feeling wrath right now."

She rolled her eyes to the sky (a common habit of hers while I was talking) and then let me continue, "Then there's pride. Let's face it, you're too proud to admit that you like me, if you do it now all this petty hatred will dissolve away and you'll feel so much better about yourself..."

"You can't be serious?" she laughed at me, "You're more deluded than I thought."

"I haven't finished yet."

"What's the last sin I'm apparently committing? Sloth, because yes I am, by sitting here listening to all this stupid drivel you're coming out with, I could actually be driving away from you right now, but I'm feeling kinda lazy today so just continue with your stupid theories."

"My theories are backed up by facts, but no, it isn't sloth. I have come to the conclusion that it is lust."

"Now you're really losing the plot, Edward. Just go take a lie down before you lose anymore brain cells. I wouldn't want you to be deprived when you next decide to have an argument with me. I might just win next time."

"I've got a hot date; don't need brain cells for that really, the charm does all the work." I countered, "Well, at least I have someone to go home with. How about you? Are you taking God with you? Send him my regards; Kelly will be screaming his name later."

"Let's hope she doesn't catch an STD off you, her boyfriend comes back from Paris in a week and you know how jealous he gets." Bella retorted with a smug smile that really didn't suit her face.

"Come on Edward lets go." Kelly called me as the bubble surrounding Bella and I burst.

"Kelly's calling you." Bella then smiled almost sweetly.

"You might want to start practicing your come backs for tomorrow, wouldn't want to be outdone now would you?" I told her as I started to walk away, "Catch you later, Swan." I called over my shoulder.

I made my way over to the Volvo and that was it for the day, Bella and I were finished, for now.

Bella POV

He walked away with his arm around Kelly's shoulders. I didn't know who was worse, him or her. I heard a squeaky door open and Alice hopped into the truck, I tore my gaze away from them and greeted Alice.

"Hi, how was your lesson?"

"You two just can't keep away from each other." She noted, ignoring my question as she did up her seatbelt.

"He came over to me. I did nothing to provoke him whatsoever."

"You never do provoke him, well unless he opens his mouth to say something to you. But I have a feeling that he digs you."

"I think you are one hundred per cent totally wrong with that assumption, I think he likes to pick fights with me, that is all."

"If you say so, you know him better than I do after all."

"Living next door to him hardly makes me an expert. Shall I ram his stupid shiny silver Volvo?"

"Your dad would have fit. Daughter of the Police Chief ramming the local doctor's son's car, that would make headline news here."

"I don't think he'd mind so long as he knows it's justified."

"For today, let's just go back to yours. Think about ramming him another day."

"Alright Ms Voice of Reason, home we go."

Alice POV

Everyone can see that they were meant for each other but themselves, but I have a plan.

When I leave Bella's tonight, I'm going to visit Edwards's parents and get them to send him to Bella's camp thing that she's roped me into. I'm not doing it out of maliciousness; I'm doing it because I'm sick and tired of their bickering and their pride. They just need to get over whatever they have against each other and learn to live in harmony.

It should make the trip a little more interesting as well. I just hope they realise they like each other before they go too far and tear each other to shreds before any relationship can form.

Usually I can predict the outcomes of things, but this time only they will be able to determine the outcome.

I hope it's a good one.
