Just so you people know, I was inspired by MCR - Teenagers when writing the cafeteria scene =), and just i thought I might point out that its not that Bella won't be with Edward, she's just going to work hard for his love, unlike in twilight (tut tut).. Or does he get with bella... hmmm.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight blah de blah.
Edward's POV
"You're not picking Bella up, Eddie?" My sister Alice asked as we piled into my older brother, Emmett's jeep.
"No, she decided to drive herself to school today" but what I failed to mention to her was the reason why. Bella was my girlfriend, the love of my life. She was a selfless, beautiful girl, whose hand-eye coordination needed some intense work. Me and her, well we have been having a few problems lately, but hopefully we would solve them soon, because I missed her dearly.
"Are you and Bella okay? I haven't seen her with you in a while, she wasn't even at dinner last nigh--"My sister Alice began. Emmett quickly interrupted her.
"I'm sure Bella's been busy with work and whatever else she occupies her time with." Alice quickly nodded and changed the conversation to Jessica Stanley's party on Friday. I looked at Emmett through the rearview mirror mouthing a thank you, although I knew he had an ulterior motive behind it. He probably wanted to tell me the real reason she wasn't there last night. Great.
We pulled up to the Hale residence, to see the Hale Twins waiting by the door. Jasper quickly waved picking up his bag as Rosalie blew a kiss at Emmett. They both got into the car greeting their loves.
"Edward, mornin'…"Jasper said still holding on to his southern accent.
"Hey Eddie…" Rosalie chimed giving me an air hug. I returned one back as I laughed at her. Someone's in a good mood today.
We got into school a few minutes before class started. We waited by Bella's locker as we joked about last weekend festivities.
"Bells!" Emmett boomed I quickly turned to see her; she looked absolutely divine, even wearing plain white t-shirt and jeans, she looked like she had just finished a Levi's photo shoot. Her milky skin contrasted brilliantly with her mahogany hair and chocolate brown eyes. She jumped into Emmett's hug, accepting his bear hug, allowing him to crush her.
"Hey Bella!" everyone apart from me said in unison. After the hugs she walked up to me pecking me on the lips, her lips felt soft like clouds as her touch put me in a temporary daze.
"Good morning Edward." Her voice was like a symphony to me, carefully constructed to sound breath taking. I embraced her taking in her sweet smell, which was familiar to freshly ripe strawberries. God, I love this girl.
"Morning beautiful." I whispered in her ears, as I felt her heart flutter.
We continued to talk as we had a few more minutes until class started.
"Who are they?" Rosalie asked, interrupting her brother in mid-sentence. We all turned around following where she was looking and watched the new students walked towards us, confusion was across the over dressed one. Her beauty was apparent, her dark olive skin looked smooth as her black hair contrasted quite nicely against it, and her hazel eyes looked so beautiful it was almost unreal. I couldn't quite see the other one's face; it was concealed behind, what I assume to be her schedule. I could already tell the difference between the two, I already predicted the over-dressed one would be a cheerleader by the end of the day while the other one wished to remain invisible to the student body.
"Looks like Mike's on the prowl…" Emmett laughed, now noticing Mike Newton's fascination with the two new students, he walked over to the two putting his arm around one of them.
Miss invisible, stopped and stood in front of them, in a stance the proved she was not happy with Mike's actions, the halls became quiet, anxious to hear what the new girl had to say.
"And just... Who do you think you are?" the girl demanded as she shoved off Mike's arm off, who I assume to be her sister. I watched as Mike, who took in the girl's look suddenly approving.
"Well beautiful, they call me Mike Newton, captain of the football team," He answered conceitedly, obviously proud of himself.
"Is this guy for real?" Emmett whispered holding back a boom of laughter. Rosalie shrugged as I continued to watch this scene.
"I was hoping I could show you lovely ladies around the school, noticing you damsels needed a knight in your life…"
"Oh, gross!" Alice stated, the guys and I shook our heads in unison at Mike's lame attempt to 'woo' her and apparently, neither one of the new girls looked too impressed. I noticed the one in heels wink at the girl adjacent to her.
"Listen Blondie" Miss invisible started, "You will NEVER be any of our knights in shining armor, shit; you'd barely pass for a jester. If you can find where my English class and where her health class is" she nodded her head in the other girl's direction. "Then maybe you could show us, other than that you are not required".
Emmett, finally gave up on holding back laughter and had erupted into fits of giggles along with the rest of us.
"What a loser!" He managed to say between laughs. We weren't the only ones to agree with him as I noticed other students were laughing at Mike's failure.
He quickly turned back to the scene as I watched ms invisible trying to keep up with her sister. Hmm still didn't get to see her face.
It was finally lunch time; we all reached the cafeteria at the same place. While the girls went to our usual table the guys and I waited in the queue to be served by the lunch lady. Unfortunately for me, the topic of Bella seemed to be in popular demand.
"So Edward, did you ask where Bella was last night?" Emmett inquired, always straight to the point.
"She was at La Push." I answered, unable to mask the sadness in my voice.
Oh, wasn't she there the night before that?" Jasper added, now fully aware of the conversation. Great, remind me of how much time she's been spending over there.
"Yeah, she's been spending a lot of time over there, with him…"
"Tough break, lil bro. I'm sure she's not playing away..." Emmett tried to reassure me, however the uncertainty in his voice didn't make me believe him.
"Yeah Bella loves you", Jasper interjected patting me on the shoulder. "You know her and Jacob have been best friends since birth".
Before I could answer I caught on to a conversation that was going on behind us.
"Being kicked out of three schools for fighting and possession of illegal substances" I turned to see Lauren and Jessica taunting a girl as the girl looked scarily calm, almost conflicted. She seems familiar...
"Your father dying of lung cancer…" Lauren continued as Jessica giggled at Lauren's attempt to break down the poor girl.
"What would your father think? His eldest daughter became the biggest joke in the family!"
Before Lauren could continue the girl picked up her tray while spinning around and slammed it into the left side Lauren's head. The Ice blonde victim fell onto the cold floor as the girl jumped on her, her fists coming into contact with Lauren's face.
"DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT MY FATHER!" She screamed between punches.
Instead of Jessica to try pulling the girl off of Lauren, she ran off, screaming. What a waste of a life.
Emmett attempted to push the girl off of Lauren, however as he held the girl's left arm, she punched him in stomach with her free right hand.
"OW! WHAT THE FUCK! SHE PUNCHED ME!" Emmett bellowed, he looked distraught and was obviously in pain. He immediately let go of her, clutching his stomach.
Jasper and I instantly attempted to carry her; I grabbed her arms while Jasper grabbed her legs. I quickly looked back at Lauren, her face was red, and any sign of her being conscious was not apparent. We quickly maneuvered her out of the cafeteria before the teaching faculty figured out the reason behind all of the commotion.
"I'm going to kill her!" The girl screamed, she attempted to be free of our restraint but failed each time she tried.
"Not today you aren't." It was obvious Jasper found this whole thing extremely amusing.
We carried her into an empty classroom, placing her in a seat. Jasper went to fetch Emmett, while I examined her.
Her long legs stretched against the tiled floor, as she slouched in her seat, brushing her raven hair out of the way revealing her face. Wow. I gasped unexpectantly.
Her dark olive toned skin glistened as her emerald colored eyes darted around the room. Her flesh colored bottom lip was hidden under the top as she bit down her lip, her heavy breathing was revealing her large chest that was previously drowned in her t-shirt, and her delicate hands kept finding a way back to her long black hair, pushing the hair out of her face. To call her beautiful would be an understatement. I watched as she began to calm down, her eyes were looking down towards the floor.
"Sorry about that…" She said in just above a whisper, she pushed her hair behind her ears. She reluctantly looked up to me. Her eyes widened her mouth slightly ajar. I chuckled at her, to show her I was not annoyed at her.
"It's okay, you never hit me." I smiled slowly. Her eyes quickly looked away.
"Well thanks, I'd probably still be beating up that bitch right now…" her voice was filled with hatred.
"YOU ARE OUT OF LINE!" We both turned to see Emmett standing in the doorway, still clutching his stomach.
"I was trying to help you!" he continued as he walked in the room, revealing Jasper by the doorway who couldn't find the strength to stop laughing.
"I'm sorry, I'm not aware of others when I get angry." she sighed, she seemed genuinely sorry to have hit him. She slowly stood up, tugging on her shirt.
Emmett's anger seemed to have melted into something more positive as soon as he set his eyes on her.
"It's okay…" she began to smile. Emmett's face started change into a shade of pink. He's BLUSHING?!
"Hey, how'd you learn to fight like that? You totally winded me." Emmett said in shock, considering his size and height, it would've been extremely difficult.
She shrugged as she came closer to him.
"What's your name?" Emmett inquired.
"Kat." she answered straight away. Kat, hmm…
"Kat, aye? Well I'm Emmett, the laughing asshole is Jasper, and that…" He began to look in my direction. "…is Edward".
I looked at her briefly; her beauty was unbelievable to me. She quickly nodded to me and Jasper with a quick wave.
"So I suppose I should head down to the principal's office…" she muttered, her head went down as she walked towards the door until Jasper grabbed her.
"No need, at this school we have a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy." he began; she looked up at him in confusion.
"If no one asks what happens, no one will tell, meaning, the teachers don't even know what happened to Lauren" Jasper finally finished, but the confusion was still apparent in Kat's face.
"You're off the hook, call it your get out of jail free card" she looked down, her face full of gratitude.
"Thank God, I couldn't handle getting kicked out of yet another school," She raised her wrist looked at the time on her crimson G-shock watch "Great, I missed chemistry".
I quickly looked on the clock on the wall, I had also missed class, all of us did, no point going to the next class.
"So Kat, you want to hang with us?" I asked, hoping she'd say yes. "No point going to class now so you might as well just hang out here" I gave her my winning smile, hoping she'd buy into it and agree.
Her eyes darted away from me, my face slightly fell, why did she keep looking away from me?
"Sure, I suppose," she answered. "First day of school, and I had a fight and missed two classes." she shook her head in shame however she seemed to find amusement in it.
