Riley circled the car park, enjoying the attention as all the guys envied his Ferrari and all the girls stared at him with lust. He could practically see Jessica drooling. Then he saw a empty spot, right next to Bella's eyesore of a truck. Well it would have to do, he pulled up and parked. He put on his sunglasses; he wore dazzling ice blue contacts to hide his blood red eyes but the shades offered him a look of mystery.

As he stepped out of the car he was immediately faced by Edward Cullen.

"Get out of my face or I'll make you" Riley threatened unfazed.

"Move your car. Better still get back in it and drive off a cliff" Edward retaliated.

"For someone so old you're pretty stupid. I'm a vampire, that wouldn't kill me. And you know you're creating quite the scene here. Everyone's staring. Tell you what. I'll make you a deal. Back off now and I'll be a nice guy and tell everyone that you were just insecure because I'm hotter than you and that's why we were having this stand off. But if you don't move in the next ten seconds, everyone will find out your vampire secret when I pull you from limb to limb and burn you."

A smile spread across Riley's face as Edward took 3 measured steps back to allow him to pass.

"Thanks, see you around Edwina" Riley called over his shoulder as Mike Newton let out a huge laugh just to be silenced by a cold stare from Edward.

As soon as Riley was inside the school, Edward wheeled around and walked to his Volvo. He braced himself for the outburst as he opened the door. "Edward! Don't you ever, ever, ever lock me in the car again!" Bella screamed. "I am not your child, so stop treating me like a little rag doll that you can do what you please with. I mean I thought I'd be granted some freedom now that Victoria has been found dead BUT NO, what is it going to take to get through to you? You have to start trusting me to make decisions myself."

"It's not that simple Bella, you're in danger. Riley is a vampire, listen to me carefully. You have to, you NEED to stay away from him, he's not like us, he drinks human blood and he's been breaking into Charlies office on a nightly basis. I'm worried, so you have to promise to steer clear of him Bella. Promise me you won't go near him" Edward looked into Bellas eyes, pleading with her.

"Hmph, you could have just said that originally, I'll see you at lunch." She gave his hand a reassuring squeeze and made her way to class.
