What's with all the hits but no reviews; please review or I'll think you don't like it…
If this chapter reads as if it was written by someone on drugs, that's because it was. I'm dosed up on cold and flu tablets so please forgive me!
FLASHBACK
The tuna looked dodgy and the salad looked soggy; skipping out the sandwich bar completely I continued down the canteen line.
'Don't forget we are going to Edward's after school,' Alice reminded me.
I picked up an apple and a bag of chips, 'I haven't.'
'Maybe you two could…talk.' Her shy act was fooling no one.
'Alice, I'm not going to tell him, he'll get all protective over it…' I said softly so no one could over hear.
'Isn't that what you want?'
'…or he could just not care at all.'
'I doubt it. Besides,' she stood up tall, 'I have a really good feeling about today, you know I have a sixth sense.'
We paid for our pathetic excuse of a lunch and headed towards our table to join Rose.
'Maybe you could put your powers into good use and tell me what is on my Ancient History test tomorrow,' I smiled at her, 'hey Rose,' I sat down opposite her and beside Alice.
'Hey babes,' she said as she looked up from her magazine, 'did you bring spare clothes for this evening?'
'Yeah, but I don't know why we need them.'
'Edward wants to paintball in the forest, or something.'
My face became a void of any emotion, but one. 'You're not serious, are you?' After the amount of cuts and bruises I had to nurse last time, I didn't want to be in that situation anytime soon…and this was WAY too soon.
'Well, you can ask him but I'm pretty sure that is what he is planning.'
I turned around and looked across the canteen. He was sitting with Jasper and Emmett, the new kid. Edward turned to look at me, he nodded his head in acknowledgment and plastered that stupid crocked smile on his face.
I gave a weak smile and turned back to the girls.
'I hope he invites the new guy,' Rose said shyly, 'he's kind of cute.'
Alice and I looked at each other and then back at Rose. I don't know about Alice but I had to raise my eyebrow at her, because let's face it, this was a "Raise Your Eyebrow" moment.
Rose turned bright red and hid her face with her hands.
I laughed and moved some of the blonde curls which had fallen down, 'don't hide,' I pulled her hands down,' if he comes this afternoon it'll give you a good chance to get to know him.'
Rose gave a small smile and raised her head. I followed her eyes to the boy's table behind us. I seen Emmett give Rose a soft smile before he turned back.
Yep, they'll end up together. Rose has never acted this way about a guy before and it made me kind of nervous for her. I could tell that she felt something for Emmett and I just hoped that it would all turn out ok.
'So,' Alice used her "I'm Going to Act Nice So You Will Give Me Something" voice. 'I was thinking', she turned to me excitedly and then back to Rosalie; 'that we should go shopping on Friday to get Bella, a special outfit for Saturday.'
I didn't even bother looking at her, 'No.'
'Oh, come on! You need to make a good first impression, don't you?'
'Alice, I have already made my first impression.'
'Yeah, but this is different, he has asked you out!'
'Bella,' Rose spoke up, 'I'm not sure you have thought this through. I know that I for one, am not comfortable with you going out with this guy.'
'Why?'
'I'll tell you why, because James is a manipulative womaniser, who isn't worth the shit off the bottom of my $5 sandals from Wal-Mart. That's why.'
Alice gasped, 'Rose, I can't believe you. You bought shoes from Wal-mart! Who are you!'
I snickered.
'Plus, that's why she is doing it, remember. We are trying to get Edward to make a move on her, get all protective and shit.'
Rose sighed, 'I know, but I don't think this is the best way to go about it.'
'It'll be fine,' I reassured her, 'ok, I have to go and meet the man himself.' I abandoned my tray and reached for my school bag, why the hell didn't I leave this in my locker?
'Bella,' Rose reached for my arm, 'please be careful.'
'I will,' I patted her hand and headed to the "Dump".
The "Dump" was pretty self explanatory, it was a small area behind the gym building for all the "Bad Boys", it had a permanent smokey atmosphere created by the cigarettes which littered the ground. Its furnishings consisted of old milk grates, a few metal dustbins and an empty skip.
The only way to become a member of such a prestigious club and have access to their luxurious club house it to either be a crack head, or dating one. Unfortunately I couldn't afford the first one so I opted for the later.
I took one last breath of fresh air before I turned the corner, even it was tinged with tobacco and nicotine. I seen James sitting atop the old skip surrounded by a few of his followers.
'Oi! You don't belong here,' spat Victoria. A notoriously well known individual famous for sleeping with the whole varsity football team last year, and rumoured, the coach.
'Now, now Vicky,' cooed Laurent, 'this is James' girl.'
She did not look pleased.
James jumped down from the skip and came up to me, 'hey doll,' he placed his open mouth on mine.
I could taste the cigarette smoke which lingered in his mouth. I tried very hard, and succeeded, to not gag.
Finally, he pulled away, 'to what do I owe such a pleasure?'
I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the front of the gym building away from the "Dump" and its toxic air. He looked at me questionably, 'why did you do that?'
I placed my hands on his well toned chest, moved up close to him and put on the most innocent smile and sweet girl eyes I could muster, 'I just wanted you all to myself.'
His face looked like the cat that got the cream, he dropped his cigarette and stamped it out, 'and what do you have in mind?' He placed his arms around my waist.
'I know what I want, but you know how the school feels about PDA,' I started to pull away, I turned my face away and spotted Edward sitting at the picnic benches looking at us. I quickly turned back to James before either noticed.
James seemed to growl, 'oh, no you don't,' he pulled me back to him, spun us around until my back was up against the wall of the gym, 'I don't care if they find us. Let them… '
He once again placed his mouth on mine, I could feel him trying to push his tongue in for entrance. I pulled away and whispered in his ear, 'not just yet, let us save that for later.'
'You're so hot,' he groaned. He started to kiss my neck. Up and down, up and down.
I looked over his shoulder and seen that Edward was standing up and his face had an unreadable expression on it, but I could tell he wasn't happy.
I wonder…
I hooked my leg up around James' waist; he grabbed hold of my thigh and pushed me more into the wall. Ow!
Edward's eyes flared in anger, he started walking and for a moment I thought he was going to come over here but instead he made a bee line for the science block.
Science block? Oh, shit! Biology. I obviously didn't plan this out very wisely. Now I had to sit beside a mad Edward…perfect.
I mean, I wanted to make him a little mad but not this mad.
I pushed James off of me, 'I've got to go to,' I gave him a peck on the cheek and started to leave.
'Wait; are we still good for Saturday?'
I smiled at him, 'of course we are.'
With that I walked off feeling really guilty; for pushing Edward too far and for using James.
I'm going to hell for this.
I hope you enjoyed!
Please, please, please review! Tell you what. If you review, I'll review one of your stories…promise.
