AN: Anyone want to know why Edward is so made at Bella? Well let's find out!
EPOV
I was walking down the hall to class when two people shoved me into a wall. I looked to see who it was; already knowing it was Mike and James. I was about feed up with all the torture they were putting me through. So I snapped.
"What the fuck do you want?" I asked them angry now.
"I want you to stay away from my fucking girlfriend, dork?" Mike said
"Why should I?"
"Because if you don't I will beat the shit out of you."
"Yeah I would like to see you try."
"Oh, looks like Eddie here got comebacks" Mike said to James.
James just laughed. Mike took his hand in a fist and acted as if he was going to hit me. "I warned you" he said.
"Look I am her partner in English what do you want me to do?" I said
"You think she wants to be your partner? She doesn't like you, you are a loser. That is all you will ever be. I know that you like her. All you do is stare at her. She thinks you are weird and creepy. Plus why would she like you when she has me. You are nothing and I am everything." He sneered at me.
You know if I wasn't saying the same things to myself, I might not have believed him. But the more I thought about it the more it made since. Maybe when she was smiling at me, she was laughing at me. Then she ignores me, and hardly talks to me. It all makes since now. I heard the bell ring and trying to leave so I could get to class, but Mike and James just pushed me back into the wall again. "Do we have an understanding?" Mike said to me.
"Yeah, we have an understanding. I won't talk to your precious girlfriend unless I have too."
"Good, now leave" he commanded letting me finally leave.
Then I walked to class late and Ms. Wells made me go first. I looked over at Bella and she was glaring at me. I was so pissed off. Then I got very angry. Bella said she would go first while she was still glaring at me. "This is Edward Anthony Cullen, age seventeen. He is the middle child of three. His favorite color is Brown. He loves classical music, playing the piano, and etc. He is quiet and does not believe in violence, which I believe is the reason he doesn't stick up for his self. He is the top of the class, but somehow cannot make it to class on time, anything else, Cullen?" The students started laughing and I was heated now.
So it was true, she didn't like me. All I saw was red. I couldn't believe this. And what the fuck does she mean I don't stick up for myself? That is when I realize Bella would never like me for who I was. I had enough of this was done being nice Edward. Bella wanted me to be a jackass than that is what I would be. I couldn't see anything very clearly and I finally saw Bella for what she was. So it was my turn to introduce her. "This is Isabella Maria Swan, not that you didn't know. She is seventeen and the only child. Her favorite color is Green. She also loves classical music. She also likes to read and write. She dates the asshole of the school because that is what rich and popular girls do. I also think that she is a little full of herself and jealous that she is second in the class instead of first. Did I do a good job sticking up for myself, Bella?" I whispered the last part to her.
"Okay you two that was interesting. I will see you both after class." Ms. Wells said.
"What is your problem?" she said to me. My problem? She wanted to know what my problem was.
"You and your friends are my problem. I can't even get any peace at school. I don't bother anyone and I am sick of being bothered. Since I don't punch everybody that gets in my way doesn't make me a nerd. I guess I have to be an asshole to be up to you standards huh?" I asked. I was just so sick of this bullshit.
"What are you talking about? I don't bother you and no one said you had to punch someone to be popular" she said back to me.
"Whatever just tell your boyfriend to stay away from me today?" I told her bitterly. If he said anything else to me I would kill him. It is like I couldn't fight him, but why should I give him the satisfaction?
"Whatever, I don't want to talk to you anymore" she said to me. When was that something new?
"When have you ever wanted to talk to me?" I said to her. She didn't answer me. She just looked down at her hands. Then she raised her hand "Ms. Wells, may I move my seat for the day?" she asked.
She looked between me and Bella "Sure" she said. Bella got up and moved to the front of the class and I was glad to see her move. I quickly felt bad for that thought.
We glared at each other all day and then at lunch Rose came up to me and pulled me out of the lunchroom in front of everyone.
"What?" I shouted at her.
"What did you do to Bella?" She shouted back when we were away from everyone.
"What do you mean, 'What did I do to Bella'?" I sneered, I was so angry. Now she is trying to make it like I am the bad guy.
"You heard me. What did you do?" she said angrier. It was actually kind of scary.
"I didn't do anything. You should ask her what she did to me? I am so sick of you people asking like I am the bad guy. She had the entire class laughing at me. Then she got her boyfriend to try and kill me in the hallway. She doesn't talk to me. She acts like I have some type of disease that she can catch. She things just because she is popular she can say whatever she wants. Well I don't think so. " I ranted on.
"What are you talking about? You better fix this, Cullen. "
"Whatever" I mumbled back.
"No whatever. Let me rephrase that. You will fix this." She said it with so much anger it scared me a little more.
The worst part of my day was that I actually felt bad for being mean to Bella. I mean even if she doesn't like me, I still love her. When I went to Biology, our teacher did show up so we were all in class with no teacher. Bella was sit so far away from my chair it was like she was miles away. I sat down next to her and looked over at her. She was looking down at her paper, not even trying to look my way. I kept staring waiting for her to just look up but she didn't. Then a piece of paper flew at the back of my head.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to stare?" Mike said while laughing. Then Bella looked up from me to Mike, but she said nothing.
"What the fuck is your problem?" I yelled at him as anger took over me.
"Did we not already have this conversation?" he said as if I was the stupid on. Instead of saying anything, I just grabbed my stuff and started walking out of the class. I looked back again at Bella who was staring at me with a hurt look in her eyes. I just kept walking.
So I am sitting here in detention waiting for Bella to join Ms. Wells and I. She walks in just as the bell rings.
"Okay now that you both are here let's talk. I am going to leave both of you here to work things out. This project is thirty-five percent of your grade, if you don't learn to get along you will fail my class. Do you both understand?" Ms. Wells asked.
"Yes" we both said.
"Oh and high school is not the end of your life" she said walking out of the class.
We just sat there not looking in the direction of the other. It was so much tension in the room that I was afraid to talk. She started first.
"What did I ever do to you?" she said sounding like she was about to cry. I couldn't tell because she was facing the other way. I started feeling bad.
"Nothing directly" I answered honesty.
"I have never done anything to you indirectly either." She said sounding angry now.
"Yeah well why is it that your boyfriend and his friend decide to bother me before English today?" I said angry too.
"I didn't know anything about that. I don't have anything to do with his actions." She said as her voice was getting higher.
"Well if you didn't why have you been ignoring me again? Why have you not even looked at me unless it is a glare?" I asked her.
She didn't answer.
"That's what I thought." I said. I was defeated.
"I hate my friends, all of them. Well except for Rose. I only have one friend. I didn't ask to be popular or to get attention. It just kind of happened. I hate coming to school because I don't like attention. I don't ignore you. I actually pay a lot of my attention to you, I envy you. And Mike whatever he said to you was a lie." She said still not facing me.
"Oh" was all I said. I didn't know what else to say. I really did feel like an ass. I was quiet for a minute then I said what I knew what was needed. "I am sorry Bella; I shouldn't have been so mean to you."
She turned around looking at me now. I was happy to see that she wasn't crying. "It's okay, it was true. Mike is an asshole." She laughed.
"Why are you with him then?" I asked, walking over to where she was standing.
"He wasn't always that way. I guess I just hoped he would go back to being nice and we would be happy. But I have learned that isn't going to happen." She said looking away from my face.
"You deserve better" I told her, begging her with my voice to look at me. She did.
"I know. I don't know if I even know how to end things with him. We are kind of set in a pattern." She was staring into my eyes, this time I saw Bella for she was. She wasn't just rich and popular. She was looking for something. I knew what it was and I knew I could give it to her.
"I am sure when the right person comes along you will know what to do." I said walking a little closer to her. I didn't even realize I was moving until I heard her stop breathing.
"Uh huh" was all she said. For the first time in my life I felt like the bravest person in the world. I knew that even if I was rejected by her I had to try. So I step up a little closer and took her face in my hands, and brought her lips to mine. I kissed her lightly and after what seemed like forever she started to kiss me back. The kiss was slow and soft. Bella's lips were softer than what I had expected. It seemed like only a couple of seconds when she pulled away.
I thought she was going to run out scream, but she just grinned at me. I realized I had probably the biggest smile on my face. I don't know about her but that was the best kiss of my life. Okay I had only kissed about two other girls before but Bella was the best.
I didn't know what we were but I was going to let her decide. I had taken the first step and I was successful, so whatever we were she would tell me.
"I'll let you decide" I whispered in her ear. She just stared at me. "I'll see you later, love" I said and kissed her on the forehead.
I don't know what had come over me but I felt a new type of confidents wash over me.
