Chapter Four.
Someone once told me not to push my luck—What happens when I no longer have any luck to push?
I continued to watch that asshole Jacob Black out of the corner of my eye for the rest of the time he was in the hall. We hated each other, and all things considered it was well-deserved hate. Would he tell me anything if I asked him? He had seemed pretty friendly with that tight assed brunette out there and I needed information. I wanted to know who she was, what she was into…what I could get myself into. I smirked to myself again, thinking of all the things I could do.
Black strutted in, throwing his bag on the desk beside mine before flopping down. I leaned forward as he smirked over at me, "Nice greeting Black. You the new welcoming committee?"
He chuckled darkly, his fists bouncing up and down on the desk. "You obviously don't know." His smirk reappeared as he leaned backwards.
"Don't know wh.." I started before Senora Goff came in, dropping her books on the desk and beginning the lesson. Black kept an eye on me for the rest of the period. Laughing whenever I'd look over at him. He shouldn't know something I don't.

I walked the halls like normal. Head held high, some kind of playful gleam in my eye. Here I had a reputation to uphold, I couldn't let my mask fall. Here at Forks Prep, I was untouchable. Home was different. I could mope at home, alone in my room, but no one knew there either. My parents assumed I was over her. Emmett and I argued as normal. Alice knew the truth. Alice would bitch and moan about how I fucked everything up. She would point out my flaws and demand I fix them. But that was just….Alice.
Tanya sauntered over to my locker, pressing her back against the ones next to it, her short skirt riding up her tanned, toned legs. "Eddie, I'm upset." I inwardly groaned at the name, but my eyes turned to her anyway. "Everyone's talking about this girl." Her voice was full of annoyance…and jealousy. "I mean..I've seen her, Eddie. She's not even that pretty." Tanya prided herself on being better than everyone. Holding herself to a higher standard. Maybe that's why I messed with her.
"…she better not be at your party tonight." catching the end of her sentence, I looked up. Tanya's red face and flared nostrils were not pretty. She wasn't adorable in fury like someone I used to know. I frowned at her before running my hands up her thighs. "We won't even know who's at the party tonight baby."

I sat silently in biology. Inwardly thanking the Lord I didn't have a lab partner. My head was flat against the cold table. Banner's babbling slowly lulling me to sleep.
"Class, we have a new student." I groaned loudly, but didn't look up. This was perfect. Just what I wanted.
I heard the mumbles of kids around me and her soft voice, but I was almost sure I was out of it, her voice sounded too familiar to be real. The seat next to me scuffed the floor as the girl pulled it, and she sat. Her sweet scent drifting over to my nose. It was something like strawberries and lavender. It was something like Heaven.
Hello." her voice was music to my ears. "I'm Bella." a mumbled introduction. It had to be mumbled, I had to be hearing this wrong. It couldn't possibly be...
"What was that?" my eyes shot open. Green met brown. I wanted to cry, I wanted to hug her tight to my chest. I never wanted to let go. Not again.
