Chapter Two

Another Day of Watching

EPOV

"Edward!"

I snapped off my dazed and stood straight, trying to be casual.

"What's up, Jasper?"

"What're you doing?

"Nothing. Just enjoying the breeze." I answered him.

Jasper Cullen was my best friend; slash my brother. We were adopted by Carlisle and Esme Cullen since we were young; both of our parents were already passed away.

"Playing stalker again, huh?" Jasper said teasingly.

"Jasper, hush!" I looked around and sighed in relief when I was sure that no one heard him.

"Sorry, Eddie boy. So, enjoy your view?" He smirked and leaning his back against the railing, crossing his arms over his chest.

I ignored him and kept my gaze at Bella.

"Edward, turn around, now!"

"Wha-?" My question was cut by a high pitched voice.

'Edwaaaard."

I spun around quickly, copying Jasper's posture.

"Tanya." I greeted her politely, while cursing mentally inside. She cut my precious time to watch Bella.

She walked towards me, swaying her hips; trying to be seductive maybe. She looked like a penguin instead. I heard whistles around us; I fought hard to not roll my eyes. Sure, she has gorgeous face and stunning body. Even in our uniform, she looked hot (the other's word, not mine.)

"Hey, what cha doing?" She ....purred?

"Hmm, enjoying the breeze."

A crappy reason, because it was in the middle of the day with the sun shone in all its might. But she didn't seem to realize my odd reason.

"Well, let's get something to eat, hon."

Did she just call me honey? God help me.

"No, thanks for the offer, Tanya. But I'm not hungry."

She leaned to the railing, her already short and unbutton shirt hide nothing, but unfortunately for her, someone else had caught my interest.

She smiled sweetly at me and I thought I heard and whimpering sound from around. How could someone found it attractive? It was sickening. The devil's smile.

She kept throwing me questions and I was getting annoyed each second, firstly she talked nothing but trash and second, I couldn't watch Bella with her here!

After she finally gave up, she said her goodbye and straightened up. She shot a glare to the innocent juniors who were passing by on the first floor under us and stared at our direction.

"What are you staring at, tenth grader?!" She shouted at them, hurriedly they all bowed their heads down and speed up their pace.

She tossed her strawberry hair, "those tenth graders have no respect at all."

I didn't comment. And when she and her gang already out of sight, I leaned my elbow back to the railing again.

Advanced Class's door was opened and Bella walked out, she thrown away something to the trash can near by. She glanced to the second floor once and closed the door again. Our eyes met for just mere nanosecond that I wasn't sure that she was truly looking at me. I sighed again

"God, Edward. Just stop being such a coward and talk to her!" Jasper's voice rang again. I forgot that he was still beside me.

"You know that I can't, Jazz. Remember what happened to Chelsea?"

He grimaced at the memory, "I see your point."

Chelsea was the student of this school; she entered on the same year as me. She was cute, to say the least. And lots of seniors attracted to her. There was a popular senior that asked her to a date which she accepted. Long story short, she was kidnapped by the senior girls and was physically abused by her gang, but like another victim of this tradition of bully in this school, she never told a word who did that to her. She held on for awhile after that incident, but all the seniors with the name of loyalty, started to bully her too. She was called by names, emotionally and physically abused, her friends stayed away from her because they were scared of being the target if they got too close by her.

I was the witness of the bully, along with other juniors that time, the her red cheeks because of slaps, her dirty uniform from the mud the seniors thrown, her broken books that were cruelly stepped by the seniors, her teary eyes whenever she needed help but no one came.

I was the one that should be blame too, as the matter of fact, we, the juniors who entered the schools along with her, was the culprit too. She was our friend but we turned our back on her. We watched and did nothing.

She was nearly rape too, after that she resigned from school. And it had been secret news that she got into mental hospital because of nightmares and stress she had. I visited her once, and I saw how badly her condition.

Her parents tried to bring her case to the court, but since she wouldn't tell them who was the culprit, and school denied the bully, it was a failure. No one knew exactly who did all those abused she got because, all the seniors, as in the twelfth grader practically did it to her. That blurred the real culprit.

And Chelsea was just one of those victims. No one knew when this bully started, or when the line between each grade was created. When you mentioned the Royal Ravein High School, the seniority was attached to it.

But one thing I knew was all the students who enrolled here was dominantly smart and rich. Ok, most of them was decent brain but with flowing cash. Maybe that was the reason the seniority never falter because we all psychos. We enjoyed others' pain. Or for the rich students, they were too self-centered and think too highly about themselves.

Sure, not everyone was evil, but when you face thousands of students with only a hundred or less that had good personality, you'd name the all Evil.

And I tried so hard not to get myself involved into that kind of world.

"But Edward, you have no control about this heck of a school. No one does."

"And yet, each time the bully gets stronger." I said back.

The ball rang again, signaling the end of lunch break. I looked at Bella once more before entering my class. She was smiling so widely and beautiful at her friends.

I'd never put her on that position, like Chelsea. Even when I hadn't known her yet.
