DISCLAIMER: WOULD I BE WRITING THIS IF I OWNED TWILIGHT!?
A/N: Hey guys sorry the last chapter was a tiddy bit short. Hope you like this one. It was originally going to be longer but then it would be like 4000 words and I was like, nah too long. So really chapter 3 is chapter 3 and 4. Make sense?? Lol.
Chapter 3 – Mike. Is. Going. To. DieIf maths could go any slower, time would have stopped.
The teacher was rambling on about how we must remember the whole process of Pythagoras theorem, and I had Mike Newton on my left, telling me how much we have in common, and how everyone thinks we should get together.
Yeah right.
I blanked him out and tried to focus on what the teacher was saying but he was so dull I was tempted to go to sleep. So then I blanked everyone out so that I was left with the solitariness of my mind. Even though it was far from quiet, it was better than Mike or that stupid, boring teacher.
I thought back to before the lesson and remembered that I was supposed to go round Edward's tonight because Alice and Rose are going out and dragging him and the guys with them. What a surprise. Not. I was looking forward to it, as I'd be spending time with everyone before I left, but it was mostly because before we left I would probably be stuck in Edward's room for a few hours while Alice and Rose got ready.
I smiled at the thought then stopped as Mike was smiling at me too. He probably thought something he said made me smile.
"So is that a yes?"
WHAT!?
"A yes for what Mike?" My full attention was on him and he was obviously enjoying it because he smiled to himself.
"I just asked if you wanted to be my girlfriend and you smiled so I took it as a yes." He was smiling smugly at me as if he won something.
"Eugh, Mike I would never say yes to you." I said this sternly so that he would get the message.
"Yeah sure Bella." He was silent after this but he was much closer and his hand kept touching my thigh. I was getting really creeped out.
Luckily, a few minutes later the bell went and I rushed to German, my next lesson. I didn't even pause to find Edward or anyone else; I just wanted to get away from Mike.
Even though I was running, I still ended up being late because Mike intercepted me to try and hug me. Eugh!
"Guten Morgen Bella. Warum bist du spät?" (Translation: Good Morning Bella. Why are you late?) Frau Grün's face was stern. I hated that woman.
"Traurig, wurde ich aufgeholt." (T: Sorry, I was caught up.) The teacher sighed and told me to sit down. Stupid, annoying, perverted MIKE! He is so going to die. Moohaha, I'll get Emmett on him.
The rest of German and the next 2 lessons were just as boring as maths. They went quickly enough, but they were so dull. As soon as the bell rang, I practically jumped off my seat and sprinted to lunch, hoping I wouldn't bump into Mike. But this is my luck I'm talking about here and it just so happened that Mike was waiting by the table we sit at.
"Hello babe." Oh. My. God. He did not just call me that!
"Shut up Mike and go away!" He tried to pull me into a hug but I pushed him away.
"Aww come on Bells, you know you want a hug. Then maybe we can go to my car and get busy." That was it.
I stepped away from him and the slapped him. It was pretty good slap as it made the whole hall quiet and staring. Then just at the right time, Edward came to save me from the after-embarrassment.
"Bella what's wrong? Why is Mike trying to hug you?" Edward's voice was, first, full of concern, then near the end, anger.
"He thinks I'm his girlfriend." Just at the thought I felt sick.
"That's because you are my girlfriend. Now come on, we're going to my car." He grabbed my wrist and tried to pull me with him. Didn't he remember Edward was there?
Edward grabbed Mike's hand that was pulling me, yanked it off my wrist, and then twisted it round Mike's back. Mike let out a yelp.
"What the HELL do you think you're doing? Bella is MY girlfriend NOT yours, now if you want to live, GET OUT!!" Oooo, Edward was pissed, but since when was I his girlfriend?
When Edward let go, Mike pegged it out the room and the hall went back to its state of loudness and eating.
I went up to Edward and hugged him.
"Thank you for saving me, I was about to throw up, he's suck a freak. But since when was I your girlfriend?"
I had let go by now but I was looking at him straight in the eye.
"I, uhh, knew I was going to get angry so I thought it's better too be the over-protective boyfriend then be the over-reactive friend. People would think you asked me to do that if I was just your friend, whereas if I was your boyfriend, they'd understand." He smiled, liking his answer, and then he put out his hand for me to take.
"Let's go sit outside with Alice and the guys. It's cooler outside." I shook my head with humour but took his hand anyway. It was pretty hot in here, but was that because Edward was in the room? I mentally hit myself. When I took his hand, it fit perfectly in his, it felt right but I didn't say anything.
He led me out of the hall and we walked to the benches. He didn't let go of my hand until we saw Alice, Rose, Jasper and Emmett sitting at a table. When he let go of my hand, it felt cold and empty.
Right, sometime soon, I'm going to have to sort my head out because it feels like I'm in fucking love!!
Why did I suddenly feel like this? Is it because ever since Charlie's horrible ex-girlfriend took me away for a year, I missed Edward so much that my feelings for him changed? Or is it that during that year, my body decided to go from girl to woman? And Edwards go from man to absolute hot hunk? (A/N: haha hot hunk XD)
Well I didn't know, and I think I needed to find out. But not now.
(A/N: Btw, this next bit is very confusing, but I assure you it's on purpose. Guess who says what! ;D)
"Bella? What is wrong with you today? You seem a little…"
"Out there?"
"Emmett stop finishing my sentences!!"
"Sorry man! I hate it when people never finish what they're saying, it confuses me."
"Aww, bless Emmy Bear. Don't worry, Rosy understands."
"Oh shut up Rose. Stop going on Emmett's side, sheesh."
"Yeah I agree with Alice."
"Well you would. You are her boyfriend after all."
"Yeah well at least I don't use baby language so that my boyfriend can understand."
"Hey I understand Rose usually! I'm not that thick."
"I'm sorry to say mate, you are."
What the hell? I'm confused.
"Guys shut it. Bella looks confused." Ah Edward, voice of reason.
"Bella's always confused."
"Alice!"
"What? She doesn't know the difference between stilettos and heels!"
"She has a point."
"Okay, I'm confused now. What are we talking about?"
"Emmett! Keep track. God I have to do it all the time."
"Everyone shut up!" I had to stop it all. Everyone looked at me. Well at least they're quiet now. I looked up at Edward who was still standing in the same position. He was looking down at me and when I caught his eye, we both quickly looked away. Well the awkwardness was new.
"OMG!!" Alice leaped from her seat and jumped on Edward. Poor Edward fell back with the force and was flat on his back in seconds. As soon as what happened processed in my head, I turned around and went to look at Edward and Alice. For a brother and sister, they sure didn't act like it.
When everyone gathered round, we caught parts of Alice's rant.
"- I mean come on, seriously, you know you really like her. I SAW the awkwardness. It's changed so much since when she came back! I mean you were like drooling and I JUST KNEW IT! EDWARD FINALLY FANCIES --"
She was cut off by Edward's hand covering her mouth. When he was certain she would say nothing, he removed his hand and pushed her off of him. She fell off with a thump, which earned Edward an annoyed look from Jasper, and then he stood up.
"Now that's stopped," he gave Alice a look. "Can we eat now? I'm starving." Ha, good one Edward. Good change of subject.
"Hear, hear to that!" Emmett had to agree, he was always hungry.
So finally, we did what people were supposed to do at lunch, eat. We talked about my little encounter with Mike, which Edward gladly boasted he saved me from. He definitely liked the part where he nearly broke Mike's arm. He got a big pat on the back from Emmett, and hand shake from Jasper, a high-five from Rose, a hug from Alice and a smile from me as I already knew it happened.
After what seemed like a very short time, the bell rang signalling our next class, which I shared with Edward, so we all said our goodbyes and made our way to lesson 5. Biology. Get in! (A/N: Lmao, if some of you non-English people haven't got a clue what 'Get in!' stands for, it means Score! or Oh yeah! Or whatever you people say. Let's just say she's happy about it.)
When we got to lesson, I found out it wasn't going to be film day today because the stupid TV broke, so we were aloud to burn things. As long as it wasn't something flammable or something that explodes, it was ok.
Edward came up with a good idea.
"We HAVE to burn a Cheese Puff! I've always wanted to know what happens when you do that." When he told me I laughed so loudly that the teacher had to come over and ask what was funny. He thought it was a good experiment so he let us burn it.
I never knew putting a Cheese Puff over a lighted Bunsen burner could be so fun.
As I didn't trust myself, I let Edward light the Bunsen burner and hold the Cheese Puff over it with some tongs.
He turned it to safety flame, I thought he was going to burn it on that, but when he had the Cheese Puff in the tongs, he changed it to roaring flame. I made sure I stepped far away.
"Ready Bella?" What a stupid question to ask.
"As ready as I'll ever be."
He slowly, and over-dramatically moved the Cheese Puff towards the flame, making me fell nervous, as it got closer.
"Oh for god's sake Edward, put it in the bloody flame already!" He looked up at me with a sly smile on his lips. I raised and eyebrow at him and then we both completely forgot that there was a Cheese Puff hanging above a roaring Bunsen burner, because we both just realised we were silently flirting.
Ok, to some people this wouldn't be a big deal, but to Edward and I, it meant something wasn't right. In the mind it wasn't right, but it definitely felt right. We were both as shocked as each other at our actions. So shocked in fact that Edward dropped the Cheese Puff.
BANG!
I screamed and Edward yelled.
How the hell can a Cheese Puff explode??
The whole class was silent, and after about 2 minutes I climbed out from under the desk. I smelt it before I saw it. The Cheese Puff was either burnt or on fire.
"Uh, was that supposed to happen?" I looked at Edward who had now emerged from the other side of the desk.
"No. Cheese Puffs can't even explode under heat. They'd just burn." He looked bewildered. It was kind of cute.
Bella. Shut the fuck up!
My head was so violent these days. I sighed. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Mike laughing in the corner, and then by his book was a bottle of ethanol that came from the lab.
I then realised that the Cheese Puff smelt a bit funny. I slapped my forehead in shock. Mike. Is. Going. To. Die.
"Bella, why did you just slap your head?" Ah, forgot about him. He can't read my mind. Thankfully.
"It was Mike. He dipped the Cheese Puff in ethanol when we went to get the Bunsen burner." Edward's face went from to confusion to down right lividness.
I watched him slowly walk up to the teacher and talk to him.
"Mr. Newton? Please go with Mr. Cullen to the office." Mike looked scared. I mean he looked like he just shat a brick. (A/N: HAHA, sorry had to use that phrase. It's kind of a chavy phrase. From England again I know but it's funny. XD)
I watched Edward and Mike leave the room, but when they went I kept my eyes locked on the door, staying still so that I was able to hear anything if anything happened.
How'd you like that? It's longer than usual but it don't matter. Please review!! D
