Chapter 3 - Missing Coat

As I walked down the corridor with Edwards coat in my hand, people stared at me. I was guessing it was because I was new, but some part of me said it was because Edward Cullen's coat was in my hand.

I walked quickly to get to my math class faster. When I arrived, I went to the teacher and repeated what I had said to Mr. Stuart. I was told to sit at the front, but Edward was at the back so I definitely knew I wasn't going to go to the back, in front of everyone, just to give him his coat back.

I went to my desk and hid it under there so no one would see it. I swear though, from the corner of my eye, I saw Edward with his mouth wide open. Idiot. I smiled to myself and took my books out. I had a feeling I was going to enjoy tormenting Mr Popular.

The lesson, like the last one, dragged on and I couldn't help but remember Alice's short but slightly weird words. First in the room, before she dragged me out, she said about how nice he could be, and then outside English she said for me to be nice to him. How could I be? He was an arrogant, smug, show off who was apparently good at everything. Well that's my first impression of him anyway. I was determined not to get along with him, no matter how good-looking or nice he really can be.

The bell suddenly startled me and brought me back to the real world. I had to be quick so that Edward couldn't get his coat without looking like a stalker.

My bag was already packed and I threw it over my shoulder, picked up is coat and went out. I could hear his voice, asking people to move out the way, but some girl, who I think was called Lauren, stopped him.

I smiled to myself once again and carried on walking to the benches outside. Alice and Rose had told me to meet them there after lesson so that they could find out what happened between Edward and me. There wasn't going to be a lot to talk about.

I arrived at the benches and found Rose, Alice and two other boys in deep conversation. I walked towards them, suddenly nervous about what they would say when they realized I had Edward's coat in my hand. Crap. I was about a meter away from the table when Alice spotted me.

"Bella! Where were you? You have so much to tell us! OH! Whose coat is that? Is that designer?" As soon as she mentioned the coat, it was behind my back in a split second and Alice noticed. She made me sit down, in between the two boys like she was about to interrogate me when Rose stopped her. I love you so much Rose.

"Alice. Don't you think we should introduce the guys to Bella?" Rosalie's voice was very authoritative I was impressed.

"Yeah we need introducing you know. I was starting to feel left out." The humongous guy next to me put on a pout and looked towards Alice. At first he looked big and scary, but he really just is a very big baby. I laughed at his pout.

"Oh yeah sorry. Bella that is Emmett," She pointed at the big guy next to me and he hugged me. "He's Rose's boyfriend. The other guy is Jasper who is my boyfriend and I love him very much. Anyway, SPILL!" I quickly said hi to Jasper after I had caught my breath from Emmett's bear hug and then turned and glared at Alice.

"There is nothing to spill Alice. Nothing happened." She stared at me for a while then came back with something.

"But why have you got his coat?" Damn I knew she would notice. I blushed a little at first but regained my composure. Like I said, I was not going to like this boy.

"He was getting annoyed at me because I was ignoring him. It serves him right Mr. Popular. But anyway, he got so angry that as soon as the bell went, his chair was on the floor and he was out the door. I then picked up his chair and found his jacket." Alice was about to burst out something but I stopped her. "In math, Edward sits at the back and me at the front. I wasn't going to give it to him in front of the whole class. He got caught by someone called Lauren anyway." I snickered at the last bit.

The others looked like they had just been slapped.

"Bella? You do know you're the first girl in the history of his existence to practically turn him down? And you are right, he does flaunt his popularity a bit too much but he's never been with anyone so don't be too mean." As Jasper made his way through the sentence his face became more and more thoughtful. He was obviously a more mature guy then some of the others. He seemed to think his words through a lot more.

I myself then thought over Jaspers words. So he was popular but lonely? How did that work out? Bella remember you don't care. Right, I don't care. Don't I?

Great, I was questioning myself. I already despised Edward and he had only said a few words to me. I had never felt so out of control before. Stupid, good for nothing, amazing GOD! Right that was it. No more complementing. I wouldn't let this get to me. I couldn't.

After we left the topic of Edward, we didn't talk much. Rose and Alice talked amongst themselves and me, Jasper and Emmett chatted a little but not much. As the bell rang, I groaned. Oh yes, another lesson with Edward. (Heavy sarcasm there.) Everyone rolled his or her eyes apart from Emmett. He was grinning broadly at me, obviously seeing something else in my groaning.

"You really hate Edward don't you?" His smile didn't falter as he said this.

"What do you think Emmett?" It was a rhetorical question but he still answered.

"I wouldn't know Bella cuz you're still looking after his coat even though you don't like him and think he's arrogant." I stared at him, no I down right glared at him. He thought I liked Edward, even though I kept saying all those things. Emmett was either deaf or just plain annoying; he was as bad as Alice. I shook my head as he laughed at my stare. He was so going to pay.

I walked towards my next lesson, remembering that it was Drama and my mood got worse almost instantly. I had heard from Alice that Miss Brooke liked pairings but girl and boy pairings. It didn't seem so bad at first but Alice then said that Miss Brooke chose the pairs.

I stopped just outside the classroom and took a deep breath. Remember, calm and collected. I then opened the door and found myself in a huge drama studio with lights and everything. I took a step in a found people had taken their shoes and jackets off and where sitting on the floor, spread out in a random order. I walked over to the only desk in the room and found the teacher sitting there, reading a script looking very excited. Please tell me that that is for someone else.

"Miss Brooke? I'm Bella Swan, I'm new here." She looked up from her script and practically beamed at me.

"Perfect!" She squealed. Everyone in the room looked round. I blushed a deep shade of red and moved my head away from all of the staring faces.

"Um, miss? What's so perfect?" She could obviously tell that I was nervous; my hands were a little shaky from her outburst.

"My dear, you are exactly what I was looking for! Now take off your shoes and jacket and sit on the floor next to Mr. Cullen. You know who that is don't you?" I slowly nodded my head and scanned the room for Edward. He was in the corner of the room, looking at the floor, fuming. I couldn't help but smirk at the fact that he was still annoyed with me.

My smile vanished as I remembered that when Miss Brooke made you sit with a boy, you were their partner for life practically. I sighed and slowly shrugged off my bag, shoes and jacket. I was about to put Edwards coat on the floor, I had completely forgotten that I had it, but a soft hand caught my own hand before it released his coat.

"I'll take that thank you." He finished his sentence with a cold tone.

"Yes Edward, you're welcome that I decided to pick your jacket up for you and return it to you. You're so very welcome." My voice was dripping with sarcasm and I couldn't help but snicker. I turned round and saw him trying not to smile. He obviously didn't hate me that much.

Bella stop! You can't, you cannot; you MUST not trust him. It'll happen again. My mind was right. I can't trust him. As soon as I thought it, my insides burned. To be honest I didn't know why, but I had a feeling it was something to do with Edward. I sighed and rubbed my temples as I sat down next to Edward. My mind had only been fighting for a few hours and I was already fed up. I desperately wanted to know more about Edward, but I didn't want anything to happen either. I was too scared to get to know him.

"Bella? Are you all right? You look like your thinking too hard." I couldn't help but smile. Once again, half of my mind screamed in protest, but the other half jumped with joy at this new, caring person.

"Sorry Edward, about earlier. I was being a bitch, but I'd rather tell you later, not now." He seemed happy with my answer and moved a little bit closer to me. I had about 15 pairs of eyes on me but I didn't care. My head was hurting. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? 'I'LL TELL YOU LATER' ARE YOU CRAZY? That side of my head was ablaze with fury. Yes at last. You're telling someone! He is the one he is the one! The other side of my head felt a little bit like Alice and was just as bad as the other one.

I gave up with rubbing my temples and looked up at the clock. Miss Brooke, apparently, started her lessons 5 minutes after the bell to let people get here in time. I myself thought it was a crazy idea but I suppose this was Miss Brooke.

I then brought my knees up, wrapped my arms around them and rested my head on my knees. I breathed in deeply but it was cut short when I felt someone's cold fingers rubbing at my temples. I accidentally let out a deep but fairly loud sigh and heard a musical chuckle come from beside me.

"Feel good?" His voice was smooth and comforting and it helped my head.

"Mmhmm." Was all I could say. It felt more than good. It felt amazing. For once I didn't care if I could trust him; I just wanted to relax, even if it was for about 2 minutes. I then felt his fingers lightly move down my face and down my neck. I shivered slightly, with pleasure. Now I really didn't give a damn.

His hands trailed further down until he reached the bottom of back. He took his hands away and I looked up. He really looked like a god all of a sudden and I couldn't help but smile. It was a weak smile, but it made him smile too; a beautiful crooked smile that dazzled me for a bit.

My mind rapidly kicked back in, but it didn't start an argument.It obviously enjoyed that as much as I did. Well it would do because it is you! Seriously, am I going mad?

Miss Brooke cleared her throat and got everyone's attention. The script she was holding earlier was held in both her hands in front of her. She had that type of grin that would even make the toughest jock scared of what she was about to reveal. One quick glance at Edward told me something bad was going to happen. Something real bad.

REVIEW! :D
