Chapter 4: Scheming1

EPOV

Just another day in the "FAMILY" home. But it doesn't feel like I'm with my beloved family. You see, Bella leaving me made me realise just how much she meant to me. Her mahogany eyes, perfect jaw line, and, who knows what else, made me see that. They always say that losing something, is the ONLY way to know what they truly mean to you. I guess they are right!

I'm not ready to give in this easily though! I remember in High school, year 7, this boy had loved a girl for ages, since year 5 actually, and eventually they got together and it was all ok, because she gave him a chance despite everything. Maybe I'll get a second chance . . .

NO! I don't want a second chance. I f she wants rid of me sooo bad then maybe I'm better off! Yes, I'm better off without her. Loads of girls would KILL to have me; I'm perfect! Like Jessica, she wants me baad! I could go out with Jessica . . . .

I go back to the dump that is "school" tomorrow anyways. I spend all holidays having a fun time till the last week and then I'm thrust back into the turbulent life of an 11th year student. It's getting dark outside but I can still see everything crystal clearly! One of the great things about having vampires eyes – one of the only great things about being a vampire!

Staring out of the window for a few hours makes you see something that you have never thought about before! I can see a strong oak stretching to the sky by the expensive glass that makes the back wall of the house and, although we tried to get somewhere with no-one around, we couldn't avoid the quiet family that live diagonally left from us. There house has descended into darkness and I can't help but ask who those people are anyway? They seem to be detached, not only from us – but from all human*or no human* life!

It was then, sitting, isolated on a window seat in the middle of a perfectly decorated but cold "family" home that I realised I shouldn't be kidding myself! I love Bella Swan/Cullen and want to be with her forever – however long that might be! I had to get her back, soon!

And I knew exactly how to do that . . .

The next day, sitting with an untouched tray of canteen food, I started to put my plan into action. The best thing I could think of was to look over at her until she saw me end then turn away but look back every so often. That would get Jessica's attention. That's what Bella did the first day she came to this high school. Ahhh, Bella! Anyway, once I have Jessica's attention I can make my move!

Emmet's POV

What the hell is he doing . . . Jessica??? No way . . . . . lol!

EdPOV

Why can't he keep his annoying thoughts to himself, can't he see I'm busy?!

Jessica'sPOV

OMG! Edward is looking at me! Edward CULLLEN is looking at ME! I've dreamed of this day for ages and ages – until stupid Bella came along and had to destroy it all! Still, true love always finds a way. HE's coming over. .OGOMGOMGOMG! I've just gotta act cooool . . .

"OMG! EDWARD CULLEN! I LOVE YOU!" Woops . . .

EDPOV

Eugh! How could anyone find her attractive?! She has horrible mousy (and a bit greasy) hair and her shape isn't exactly attractive or curvy – more straight up and down; not like Bella.

"Um, hi. Jessica, right?" She nodded, showing nothing but sheer excitement on her scarred, imperfect human face.

"Would you be . . ." I decided to get straight to the point, otherwise Jessica would explode and, quite frankly, I would get annoyed with having to look at her face for longer than five minutes.

". . . m-m-m-My g-Girlfriend?" Smooth Edward – and the stuttering was a nice touch! Very . . . HUMAN!

I wonder whether Bella has seen me with "Jessie wessie" yet . . .

A/N Another chapter done! Now I am vair vair tired!
