Red, the colour of the Devil

Chapter 2

Okay the first two days didn't really go as how I imagine they would go. Making sure that I ended up in a fight with the most powerful teenager of America wasn't really in my schedule. Edward made me feel all kinds of feelings I had never felt before. And let me tell you that those feelings were defiantly not positive. I couldn't be like Tanya, dealing with his anger problem every day. Not that I thought that he saw her every day. They defiantly had their relationship for the power and the money. It was disgusting me, you should be with someone because you care and love that person. And not because of the power, fame and money. For a great deal that problem developed by their parenting. But I couldn't care less about Edward so there wasn't really a problem, he should do stupid things with his life if he wanted to. Okay his life was miserable but he didn't have to drag other people into his problems. But that was just the thing he did, drag other people into his miserable life. Although there was also another irritating thing: I couldn't get him out of my head. Of course he wasn't in my head because I like him but still he was in it. The worst part about that was that I had absolutely no idea how I was going to ban him out of my head. It felt like he was claiming me from inside my own head. What felt weird and inappropriate.

In my hands I held the school paper, on my face there was a major grin. What was standing in the paper was defiantly something for me to celebrate and for Edward something terrible. Maybe Edward had the whole school and his friends behind him. But the school paper was defiantly in advantage.

"What are you reading?" Angela asked me, she also worked for Rosalie Hale. Almost always Angela and I had to work with each other. Angela was from out of town; actually everyone who worked in Forks was from out of town. Of course besides from me and Charlie, he really should have bought another house.

"School's news paper. I go to the Mason High school." Angela's eyes winded. She ripped the paper out of my hand and said: "Let me see." Softly I grinned, all people who knew Forks were always looking for the news gossip of the rich. Rather fast her eyes scanned the news paper. So now or then her brown eyes became big. Angela was a smart and good looking girl. At least if she got rid of her glasses. She had beautiful brown hair that flowed in beautiful curves down her shoulders. You could compare Angela with Bonnie from: The Vampire Diaries. Angela was one of the nicest girls I have ever met.

"O my God, Bella you are going to battle with Edward Anthony Mason?" She said hysterical, she almost started to hyperventilate. It actually looked cute. The only thing that I didn't understand from the people of this village. Why did they always have to adjust someone with his whole name.

"Yes and Angela breath." I said while I laughed. Slowly she caught her breath in a good pace again.

"Do you really think he is falling for you Bella?" I started laughing even harder. With shy eyes she looked down at her feet.

"It's Edward Mason we are talking about, remember?" She only nodded in disbelieve. I knew that this was almost impossible to believe for some people. I was just happy that Charlie was never going to see this. Though I wanted to keep the papers, if I would win I would still have evidence of it. My thoughts were drifting in different directions. I didn't even realize until there came a new costumer in. Next to me Angela was again reading the article, so I decided to go take his order. The guy was wearing sun glasses and a head, he truly looked weird.

"May I help you?" I asked when I stood in front of the table he was sitting at. He looked somehow glorious, the way he was sitting and slowly reading the menu.

"I have a sandwich and I would like to speak to Rosalie Hale." I nodded and wrote his order on a little paper.

"Who do I say is here for her?" The guy started to laugh.

"The bad girl of Mason High doesn't even recognize me." In one perfect move he took off his head and sunglasses. I heard a lot of girl hiss when they saw it is Emmett McCarthy. Nervously I looked down with my eyes; I defiantly didn't want to look bad in front of him.

"I will look if she is able to speak to you." His big smile appeared on his face and he nodded in improvement. I really earned a lot of those from him.

"Now go, I don't want to see this girl going bad." I turned around and wanted to walk away.

"Oh and have you read the school paper?" In the corner of my eye I looked at him, on his face there was a mischievous grin.

"Yeah." And we both laughed. Sometimes I didn't understand why Emmett was friends with Edward. They were totally different, but all four of them were.

That night I couldn't sleep there were too many changes going on. Living in Forks is a little different then I would imagine. I had never heard of F4 when I lived in Phoenix neither did I ever meet Edward Mason. Then I wouldn't have mind meeting him. But looking it from now I don't think that it would have been a good idea. And there he was, again Edward was the one who dominated my thoughts. It really started to annoy me. That boy was really irritating and I hated him from his head to his totes. With him in my thoughts I fell asleep.

Today the battle between Edward and me would begin. For some parts it actually made me a little scared my hate for him was bigger than my fair. I would make the king of America fall on his knees and beg for mercy till the end of time. Edward wasn't the guy that he pretended to be, he wasn't as strong as he seemed to be. Bulling people until they were dangerously injured wasn't strong, it was weak. Edward should have a weak spot and I am going to find it and destroy him. Just like he did with a lot of other people.

Again I was sitting in Charlie's car; the nerves of Monday were gone. He was just happy, parts of that was because he thought that everything went well yesterday and the day before that one. Of course I didn't tell him anything about the fight I had with Edward Mason. There was a chance he would be mad at me for getting into a fight with the Edward Cullen. Though he should be mad at Edward for latterly attacking his little girl. But of course Charlie can't do anything about it. Think of what had happened if he went to Edward or even worse to his parents. They would probably just laugh into his face and kick him out of the house because they thought he was trash. If Edward was already so mean to other people, it would be even worse with his parents.

Charlie drove through the gates; a lot of girls were waiting there. I was really hoping that they weren't waiting for me. But when Charlie wished me luck and I stepped out, they all began to run to me. No one did anything to me just like Jasper told them to do. But the most of them were throwing me devil looks. They saw me as an enemy for this school and the Mason Empire. They really thought that I would ruin everything that Edward had. That guy really was annoying even when he wasn't there. All these girls were truly and passionately in love with him. What in my opinion seemed be a little pathetic. They really thought that he was going to marry her. It always made me laugh but Edward didn't seem to enjoy all the attention he got from girls. I looked around me but there wasn't much to see. The only thing I was able to see were the girls who surrounded me. While ignoring them I walked further and went into the school.

I opened my locker and there again it was: the red notice. It made me feel weird. Was Edward still playing on that level? I took the red notice in my hand but that was something I shouldn't have done. A balloon with red paint came right into my face. With my hands I tried to get my eyes and mouth clean but it didn't help a bit. An angry feeling was flowing through my veins. How could he do something so childish? He really was getting on my nerves. My locker made a loud bang when I threw with the door. He was going to pay for this. I took big steps and went to the cafeteria of F4 and walked in without waiting for their approval. Edward could latterly kiss my butt. The room was beautiful decorated, it was blue and light. The furniture was luxurious but stylise. But I wasn't able to notice any of this. There was only Edward who was sitting on a chair with a big grin. It only became bigger when he saw that I walked in. He was alone; Emmett, Jasper and Jacob weren't there. That would probably be a good part.

"Do you know, Bella, that you are the last person who I want to battle with?" The emotions in my eyes changed a bit, the anger faded and surprise came instead.

"It is true that you bring the worst of me into the world, but also the best. I have never wanted anything until you came." My mouth fell open. I couldn't even remember why I came here.

"What?" It was the only thing that I was able to say, but it came out as a whisper. He was really freaking me out at the moment.

"You are different." He took a step in my direction. When he was standing directly in front of me, he began wiping the paint of my face. I was too astonished to stop him.

"I only did this to get you here." His voice was now velvet but honest. He was talking the truth and that was only freaking me out more. What was he doing?

"I have been waiting to do this since the first moment you disobeyed me." At that moment everything in my life changed. Edward was lowering his face and it almost seemed like he was going to kiss me. My breath got stock in my throat. His face was only incenses away from mine. And making that last move was his mistake. Did that idiot really think I wanted to kiss him? I pushed him away and yelled in his face: "What do you think you are doing?" First his face was surprised but then it changed in amusement. Edward's ego was really far too big.

"I am doing the thing that we both have been waiting for a long time." I looked at him with disbelieve. That he really believed that shit. Again he tried to get close to me but with one swing I hit him in the face. He staggered on his feet and at the end fell. A grin of triumph was on my face.

"I do not want this. Is it clear?" I asked without hesitation. He was looking at me with hurt and surprise.

"Edward!" Tanya came running in, her voice was sounding like a stupid child. "What have you done with him?"I rolled my eyes and I looked back at Edward.

"Let this be a lesson."

After that incident Edward didn't became any nicer. He again tricked me with a few childish pranks but he wasn't going to get to me. He was the one who was the devil and the devil was going to get down.

"You bitch." And there it was again the awful voice of Tanya.

"Do you know what kinds of consequences it has when you try to kiss my boyfriend?" She was totally insane; I looked at her exactly like that.

"No. But he tried to kiss me so I think that I don't need to know either." I waived her a kiss and walked off. Okay so F4 wasn't allowed into the fight but Tanya was. She could be really hard when she wanted. Of course she was stupid but I am sure that she could be a real pain in the ass. For tomorrow I had to come up with something good to get to Edward. He had to die a social death.

My school lessons for today were over and I walked out. Edward was walking in front of me. There was about ten meters between us. It was actually getting me a bit nervous. I looked down and tried to get into the dark of the crowd. It was only a bit difficult when everyone was looking at you. All the girls with disgusted faces and the boys with big grins. Edward was standing in front of his car and he was looking into the glass. He was probably seeing his reflection.

"Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again."

Were the words that he whispered. All his emotions were in it. He truly felt hurt, what made me feel a little guilty. But of course I shouldn't, it was stupid. He did so many stupid pranks with me, I shouldn't feel sympathy. I should hate him.

I tried to ignore it but it wouldn't help, luckily Charlie came up to me and made me feel better. Edward got into his car and drove off just as we did.

School Paper: Mason High

Insanity?

Is Edward really going insane? At the beginning we all knew that Bella was going to be an exception. She wasn't like anyone else. Of course that was obvious: she stood up against him, was the first girl that got a red notice and is poor in a village where only the rich live. As you will read this, you would really ask yourself: "What he is seeing in her?" Well for that I got my own theory: boys love to fight for a girl. As we all know, boys don't fall for girls who throw themselves in front of their feet. They want to fight for a girl. And if we are speaking of Edward Mason, the Edward Mason; who doesn't throw herself in front of his feet. Exactly, there is only one girl who doesn't: Miss Isabella Swan. And for me that would be the reason why Edward shows interest in her. Although we are heading in front of things. I mean Tanya and Edward didn't even break up yet.

Exception? Bella is at the moment the most wanted girl in the village of Forks. In our own school there are almost hanging posters of her with the money she is worth if you catch her. There is just one question: "If Edward isn't able to catch that, who is?"

Today the battle between the two love birds began. It was a rather weird day. All the students of Mason High expected a major fight with a lot of pranks but nothing of that happened. Edward and Bella were both too busy to even acknowledge each other. Sure Edward did a few pranks but those aren't even worth talking about. And on the other hand Bella didn't do anything yet. If you ask me that is rather weird. You should almost believe that she is giving up but she would never do that. What seems likely is that she is planning something big. Sometimes that will kill Edward's reputation. I almost can't wait.

In the battle Edward isn't going to use any physical contact. Bella really was scared of him and Edward was also shocked that he was about to hit her. He apologized in public. To make everything clear they putted that into the contract but that is everything that is known of it. Bella and the F4, both didn't want to say anything about the contract. Though Bella and Edward are both really grateful of Jasper Whitlock. He really should become president just like his father. He would be a huge success. And even a bigger success because he has Edward Mason, Emmett McCarthy and Jacob Black as his friends. If the four of them work together then they are capable of anything. So I dearly hope for Bella that Edward isn't allowed to use his friends because then the word: "dead", will already be written on her forehead.

A big question what is spinning through all of our heads is: "What do we actually know about the girl?" The only thing that we know about her is that she is poor and that Edward is interested in her. For all of us it was a shock when he tried to kiss Bella. For all of us that has been a dream like forever. We all doubted that he was doing it because he wanted to prank her. On the photo you really can see the emotions in his eyes. It almost looks like he cares about her. But it is clearly something new that Bella hit him in the face when he tried to kiss her.

Tomorrow there will be more and I will keep writing the list of pranks. If there is anymore news I will let you know tomorrow.

Bella

X

Edward

He threw water balloons with paint at her.

He tried to kiss her?

He threw her into the swimming pool.

He ruined her clothes with eggs and flour that he let fall all over her.

The next day, when I arrived at school, there were no girls to yell at me. It felt strange, as fast as I could I ran to the school but I was already too late.

"Let's begin." The scared boy didn't dear to do a thing. He was still shaking on his feet. He didn't move he just stayed at the exact some spot as he did the whole time. Suddenly he got hit on his face. The punch was so powerful that he felt to the ground. On Edward's face was standing a grin. He actually enjoyed it. When the scared boy was lying on the ground he caught a kick in his belly. The people around them became wild they were all yelling and clapping for Edward, everyone except for me.

Why was he doing this, as far as I knew he was only going to irritate and prank me. He said that he wasn't going to beat any one as long as we were in this battle.
