I realize, well, everyone like's picking on Mike because its fun. I definitely like making him crazy and obsessed. Anyway, thanks for all the reviews, this one is short compared to the other one. I'm thinking about having another chapter, but not so sure yet...perhaps a little persuasion? (hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge) coughREVIEW!cough
I sat in class, resting my forehead against the table. Angela was sitting in Edward's seat again, protecting me from any unwanted ambush from Mike Newton. He was in class, and I could practically feel his line of sight trying to burn a whole in my back. I visibly shuddered.
Class dragged on and on. Finally the bell rang, and I jumped up with my stuff, read to dash out the door, but it was too late, Mike blocked my path. He looked to Angela.
"Could you give us a privet minute, please." He said, making a puppy face. It didn't phase her at all, she looked to me. I mouthed for her to wait by the door. She nodded, and waited by the door, her eyes on us.
"So, last night didn't go as well as I thought. Maybe you wanted to trying again, tonight, you know, when your dad isn't home." He said, trying to be seductive. The twitching was back. I glared daggers at him, and he confused it for lust, because he leaned in for a kiss. I leaned away, absolutely revolted.
"Look, Mike. I don't want anything to do with you, okay? I would've thought you'd taken the hint by now, but apparently not. I love Edward. Get over yourself." I walked right by him, but he surprised me, and grabbed my wrist, then pulled me back into a kiss. I ripped myself away and screamed, then decked him in the face.
"OH! THE NERVE!" I exclaimed, and stormed out of the room, Angela following along. She was laughing.
"Nice shot! He's whimpering and it looks like Eric's taking him to the nurse." Angela said, as I stuck my head in my locker, trying to catch my breath and calm myself. I smiled, glad that he wasn't like Jacob, and hard as a rock. It felt nice to punch someone and actually do harm. I smiled pulling my head out of the locker.
"Are you okay? Cause you look like an insane person." Angela commented. I laughed, and nodded. We headed off to lunch. I was happy to say, Mike was not there. Neither was Eric. I smiled.
Half way through lunch, the principal came over. Mr. Greene looked me over a few times, making sure I was who he needed, then motioned for me to come with him. I hid a smile. Maybe I was getting in trouble for punching Mike Newton, I could be labeled as a bad kid. That sounds exciting!
I wave to Angela who looked confused, and followed after. He lead my to his office, where the school nurse was. But no Mike. My smile disappeared. I was hoping to see him, so he could take in my new 'bad kid' image. Maybe I'll start wearing leather, and chains. Maybe I'll carry a bat!
"Miss Swan, do you know why your here?"
"Punching Newton?" I took a guess, and living up to the bad kid rep. This was going to be so much fun! I can actually hit people (not vampires or werewolves) and do damage! A little voice in the back of my head was telling me I was taking the punch thing too seriously, and going over board. The bad me punched the little voice, gave it a wedgie, and shoved it in a closet. I internally laughed.
"That's part of it." The principal said. The bad kid thought disappeared, and my stomach dropped. I hadn't done anything else. I punched the vile boy, and left class.
"What else did I do?"
"Well, Mike has said the reason you hit him, is because you two used to be a thing, he kissed you wanting you back, but you were scared because Mr. Edward Cullen has been an abusive boyfriend." Mr. Greene said, looking directly in my eyes. The blood in my veins boiled. I was on my feet before I realized what I was doing, and the twitch was back with vengeance.
"Where is he?" I asked, trying to contain the eye twitching more then the anger. They looked at me startled.
"Who?"
"Newton! I'm going to smash his thick head into a locker, then possibly set him on fire." I said. My hands were clenched into fists, and my knuckles turned white. "He has been pestering me, telling me I belong to him, and last night, my father arrested him for breaking into my house and waiting for me practically naked!" Both the principal and the nurse were shocked by this new information. But before they could comment, I was out the door. I was running after Newton, who I just saw head through the exit with his parents.
"NEWTON!" I screamed, chasing him down. He saw me, and ran with a scream of his own. I was surprised at how fast I ran. I caught up easily. His parents were yelling at me, but I ignored them, and beat Mike Newton to pulp.

And that was how I got arrested for assault. Charlie was just lapping it up, he found it hilarious. He even took pictures of me in the back of the squad car, and in my handcuffs. Then he took more pictures as he locked me in the cell. At least I wasn't mad anymore, and I even managed to smile and pose for the pictures.
"Alright, Bells. I'm sorry to have to do this to you, but you have to stay in jail for three days at the max, or until the charges are dropped." I could tell he was trying to be serious, but it wasn't working out. He burst out laughing, and I couldn't help but to start laughing too.
"So, did you get pictures of Newton?" I whispered, seeing his parents around the corner.
"Well, duh!" Charlie laughed. I smiled. "I'm going to send them to your mother, so she can see how well you can take care of yourself." I nodded. He had to go talk to Mike's parents, maybe get them to drop the charges. I laid on the cot inside, putting my hands behind my head.
I woke up, who knows how long later, and Charlie was outside the cell with his own cot. I smiled, seeing he was watching the TV. The clock said past midnight.
"Dad, why don't you go home? I'll be fine here by myself." I told him. He looked hesitant for a minute.
"If your sure..." I could see it in his face. Good Bella tells me that he doesn't want to be stuck here; its damp and cold. Then Bad Bella says; Oh, but he'll leave his daughter here? Good Bella counters with; your the one who got us here. They argue for about a minute, then real Bella answers Charlie telling him to go home. Charlie smiles, packs up, gives me several more blankets and pillows, plus the remote, and leaves. I smiled, Charlie wasn't going to let me rot.
I must've fallen asleep, because Charlie was waking me up by beating his nightstick on the bars.
"Wake up, convict. Breakfast time." I raised an eyebrow, and he couldn't hold it anymore. He burst out laughing.
"Actually, you have visitors." He said. "But...I don't make the visiting hours, so you only have 20 minutes." I nodded, understand the rules of the law. He smiled, and headed out of the area. Then, to my amusement, the entire Cullen family appeared in front of the Bars.
"Wow, so she's a felon!" Emmett cheered, obviously amused. I nodded.
"It's true, it's true. I assaulted someone in the parking lot." I said, nodding my head with a smile. I noticed Edward wasn't here.
"Where's Edward?" I asked.
"I think talking to Charlie." Carlisle answered. "Now, Bella, I don't want you to rub off any of your habits on us, because we think we do a pretty good job as Samaritans. We don't need to assault people in public places." I laughed. It was interesting, to say the least, to talk to them through bars.
"I'm so jealous, Bella! You got to go to jail first!" Emmett whined, earning him a smack in the back of the head from Esme. "What?"
"You aren't suppose to go to jail, Emmett." She scolded. But she smiled to me. "But you had a very good reason for going to jail." I smiled. We chatted for a few more minutes, then they all left, and Edward came. I smiled at him. He smirked.
"Well, Bella, I thought out of the two of us, I would be the one to go to jail." He teased. I laughed.
"You should have seen Charlie arresting me, it was hilarious. He almost busted a gut." Edward put his arms through the bars, and wrapped them around me. I laid my head on the bars, where his chest was. It was like hugging, but just with a bunch of iron in the way...or whatever they make cages out of.
"So, Mike has 2 black eyes, a bloody, fractured nose, and several bruises among his body, including his left cheek. What do you have to say for yourself?" He asked.
"Well, I feel proud." I told him. He raised an eyebrow. "Around vampires and werewolves all the time, I tend to feel a little weak. This makes me feel,...not." He chuckled.
My 20 minutes were up, and Edward had to leave. He kissed my lips through the bars, and left. Charlie came back to keep me company. I gave my dad a sly smile.
"Hey dad, can we call Renee?" I asked. He laughed in amusement and scurried of to get the room. Luckily, there was a loudspeaker button, so we could play it in the room, and Charlie could hear Renee's reaction. It rang and rang until Renee finally picked up.
"Hello?"
"Mom?"
"Bella! Hi honey how are you?" She greeted me happily.
"Mom, I have something to tell you..." I told her.
"Oh, god your pregnant aren't you?! I knew it would happen, I should've told Charlie to tell you about sex or something," She began rambling on, and Charlie had turned white at the thought of a sex talk.
"Mom, I'm not pregnant...I'm in jail." It was silent while Renee took this in.
"OH MY GOD YOUR FATHER ARRESTED YOU? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT MAN?" Renee continued on with her rant, while Charlie and I tried to stifle our laughter.
"Well, mom, would you like to hear the story?" I interrupted, then told her the story of how I ended up in jail with Assault charges.
