Chapter 3

Football_is_my_life: …your cell phone number?

That took me off guard but whatever…

Clutzy_: Sure…

I gave him my phone number and he said that he would contact me when he was free. He was currently doing homework or something. He said he had to go and signed off. I, too signed off as I had school tomorrow. Ah, school… a terrible place to learn if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, as a geek, I love school… But for geeks like us, school was never a safe place… The jocks beat you up when they feel like it and so many other things. I rolled my eyes. In high school, everything was about popularity. As for my elementary experience, I was always the top of my class and everyone wanted to take me down. Being the top was hard though as I had a much more mature mind than others so I was stressed in keeping my 'reputation' as I called it long ago. I sorta regret now that I'm geek. Everyone supposed to know your name but life in high school just doesn't work that way. I packed my bag for school tomorrow and went to bed.

? POV

I woke up and stretched my arms and yawned. Great, school today… That reminds me, I hadn't finished my homework last night cause I chatted with Clutzy_ . She's an amazing person, I could tell… Most of all, she loves anime! Finally, a person who watches those stuff. Even my friends can't seem to figure out my craze for anime. They tried once, but they fell asleep in like, 5 seconds into the show! I really hope that I get to meet her. She seems like a nice person. I got her number yesterday and decided to text her.

Wakey, wakey sleepy head!

Bella's POV

I was dressing myself when I heard my phone on my bedside table beeped, signaling that it was a text message. I thought it was Angela as I picked up the phone. To my surprise, it was Football_is_my_life ! I smiled as I read the message. I replied:

F.Y.I., I am awake… But tq for ur number… and for the message… somehow, it made my day! LOL!

Clutzy_

I pressed send and grabbed my bag and shoved the phone that was in my hand into my pocket and went down the stairs.

? POV

I came out of the shower when I heard my cell ringing. I picked it up, thinking it would be Clutzy_. Boy, was I wrong.

"Hello!" a chiming voice sounded.

I smiled.

"Hi, gorgeous!"

"I was wondering if you could pick me up to school today cause my car broke down," she said sadly.

"Anything for you, beautiful."

"Thanks! I'll see you later!"

Before I could say anything, she hung up. Seconds later, I got a text message. I smiled as I read it. I typed back:

Glad to be in your service *bows* anytime, anywhere…

Bella's POV

I was talking to my mom when she sent me to school when…

There was something vibrating in my pocket. I smiled. I took it out and read my text. I thought my smile couldn't be any wider but it did. My mom noticed my change of emotions but didn't push it which I was glad for.

Later…

I was walking to my next class when I saw Edward Cullen and his two friends talking. My original plan was just to ignore them. But then I heard…

"Hey, watch this…" Edward said as he and his two friends approached me.

He pushed my with his shoulder roughly making me lose my balance and fell to the cold hard ground. They laughed as they walked away. STUPID JOCKS! I thought as I picked up my books. I stomped away to my next class. I slid into my seat as listened to the teacher's lecture. I was finding it hard to concentrate as I was drowning in my anger. It took me awhile to notice the teacher was standing right in front of me.

"Miss Swan, can I have your undivided attention and please take out your textbook," he said, trying not to explode.

I searched for my textbook in my stack of books I brought. Shoot! It must have dropped when he pushed me! EDWARD CULLEN YOU IDIOT! I thought.

"Well?" he said, foot tapping impatiently.

"Um…uh…" I stammered.

"I'll see you after this, Miss Swan," he said as he walked to the front of the class to continue whatever he was talking.

THAT IS IT, EDWARD CULLEN! I thought. YOU AND YOUR STUPID, SNOBBISH, IDIOTIC GIRLFRIEND! Tanya Denali had humiliated me before thousands and thousands of times. They are nothing but the most sickening disgusting couple I ever met! After class, I stomped out of the class and went to lunch, still mad about what had happened. Luckily, I received only a warning from Mr. Banner. I went into the cafeteria and grabbed my food and walked to the geek table. I sat next to Angela and ate wordlessly. She -my best friend since freshman- noticed my change of moods.

"What's wrong, Bella?"

I sighed and explained everything to her. When it came to expressing my feelings…

"THAT IDIOTIC EDWARD CULLEN THINKS HE'S SOO GREAT, WELL I GOT NEWSPLASH FOR YOU, PAL! EVERYONE WHO IS EVEN CLOSE TO BEING NICE IS A GAZILLION TIMES BETTER YOU AND YOUR STUPID GIRLFRIEND!" I shouted.

Did I shout that loud? The whole time I was screaming, the cafeteria was silent and staring at me. I heard some chairs screeching. Oh no. I was in deep trouble. Even the popular table directly across the huge cafeteria heard me. Edward, Emmett and some other guy approached our table. They had smirks on their faces. Oh, great! Now I've done it!

"Ready to get creamed, geek?" Edward said while cracking his knuckles. "Any last words?"

"As a matter of fact, I do. Since when have you 'populars' down graded yourselves into creaming geek girls?" I shrugged. "Seems very ungentlemanly of you… As everyone claims."

They were gaping when I finished. I heard gasps and a 'woohoo, way to go!' Everyone started laughing at them.

"This isn't over, geek," said Edward through clenched teeth with his hands beside him tightly balled up into fists.

"Bella Swan, actually," I said smugly.

They walked away to their table. When they were out of earshot, my entire table rumbled in laughter.

"You got them good, Bella!" said Angela next to me.

"I wanna see a replay of that!" Ben said next to Angela.

On that day, in between classes, people who hated the populars patted my shoulder or said 'good job!' and so on. Everything was great until…

My head slammed on the wall behind the school building where nobody could see. You see, my mom came late and Edward dragged me here to so call 'finish what he started'. Here I am, being pinned by Edward Cullen but not in a romantic way.

"Where's your posse, Cullen? I think they would a better job than you would."

It was like I was trained for this.

My cousin used to tease me and we always fought for the remote. The smart and witty remarks shot by him were only to be shot back by me. At one point, I knew he was only trying to protect me. Since I was weak, he thought me how to shoot back at people with words. That way, I wouldn't get in real trouble at school. What better way to train them than making them thinks they're in the real situation? Sooner or later, I was getting good at it. But before I realized what he was actually doing, he took off to United Kingdom with his wife and I never got the chance to thank him.

"Don't tease me, Swan…" he said as he pushed me harder against the wall.

It hurt a little but not enough to make me make a sound. All those training were worth it after all. It made me strong mentally and physically.

"Where's your girlfriend? Aren't you supposed to be making out or something?" I rolled my eyes, stuck my tongue and didn't keep the disgust off my face.

"You don't about me and Tanya so shut up," he said coldly.

It didn't surprise me that he was using 'that' tone. All the populars use it when they have nothing witty to say.

"Score one for Swan!"

He pushed me harder against the wall. I should have been yelping but instead I smirked.

"Any last words?" I said.

He looked at me confused.

I swung my leg and hit him at the golden spot. He instantly let go of me and yelped in pain. I ran as fast as I could without a backward glance. I picked up my bag at the waiting spot, glad that it was still there and hopped into my mom's car when she arrived which was instantly after I picked my bag. Wow, was I lucky today!
