Chapter Seven: Partners and Newton's

I ran to the place we had agreed to meet; the feel of the wind and the thoughts of my new plan making me a bit calmer than I had been before discovering Bella's newfound happiness. I arrived to find that he was already there, leaning casually against a tree.

"What's this about, Victoria?" he asked when he saw me.

"Bella Swan," I answered with anger in my voice.

"Of course," he said with a roll of his eyes.

"She's joined up with the Cullens again. She is happy, which means I'm not," I explained.

"So?" he replied. I could see by his attitude that it would be difficult to convince him to help me.

"So, she ruined my happiness and I want to destroy hers. And you are going to help me," I spat out.

"Why should I?" he asked. "I don't care about Bella Swan one way or the other."

"Because if you don't help me, I will make your life a living hell," I said with a menacing smile.

"Fine. I'll do it, but only because I want you to leave me alone," he said and I could he was unhappy.

"Whatever. We are going to need help, because we can't take on all of the Cullens by ourselves," I said as I started to form a plan.

"Well, I know there are at least two vampires in the coven I am staying with that will help," he offered.

"Excellent," I replied. "Now we just need to find four others to help us. I am sure we can find some nomads or something."

"Fine," he answered, and I could tell he was still less than thrilled to be helping me with my plan.

"Oh, and one more thing. Try not to make any decisions about this, because if you do, their little psychic will see what we are up to," I said as I turned to leave.

"Fine. Goodbye, Victoria," he said as he turned to leave.

"See you soon," I said with a smug grin before running deeper into the forest.

After spending the night at my house talking and enjoying the fact that we were together again, Edward and I went over to his house so we could ride to school with his siblings. Since we couldn't all fit in one car, Edward, Alice, Jasper and I ended up in my Volvo, and Emmett and Rosalie took Edward's.

"I can't believe you let Emmett drive your car," I said as I drove us to school.

"I know, but I get to ride with you, so it's okay," Edward said as he played with a lock of my hair.

"So, are you anxious about school?" I asked with a smirk.

"No," Edward said with a laugh and a roll of his eyes.

"Well, maybe you should be," I replied, and my smirk turned into a full grin.

"Why is that?" Edward asked and I could tell he was trying not to smile.

"Oh, because the Newton twins are there," I replied, and I could Alice and Jasper chuckling in the back seat.

"The Newton twins?" Edward asked through his teeth, and all traces of humor left his face.

"Yep. Brooke and Zach," I said, and shuddered a little at the memory of the two horrors.

"Are Zach and Brooke anything like Mike?" Edward asked, and I could tell he really didn't want to know the answer.

"Zach is just like Mike, and Brooke is…" I said trailing off as I tried to think of a nice way to describe Brooke.

"Brooke is what, Bella?" Edward asked when I didn't finish my sentence.

"Well, she is a bitch," I said, deciding there was no nice way to describe her.

We were silent the rest of the way to school as we thought about what and who we would have to deal with when we got there. Once we parked the car, Alice and Jasper said goodbye and walked to their first class, while Edward and I went to the office to get his schedule.

Edward got his schedule, and was not satisfied that we only had one class together. I was not surprised when he used his dazzling charm to get his classes changed so that we could be together all day.

The morning went by without any problems, and I started to think that school might not be so bad if Edward was there, but then we got to Spanish.

As soon as we walked in the door, Brooke zeroed in on Edward and he cringed at what I guessed were her thoughts. We sat down in the back of the room, and Brooke brazenly followed us and sat in the seat right in front of Edward.

"Hi. I'm Brooke," she said with flip of her hair. She was giving Edward what I assumed was suppose to be a sexy smile.

"Edward," he answered back while grabbing my hand.

"Well, since you're like new here, maybe you should like sit next to me at lunch and I can fill you in on things here," Brooke said and she started bat her eyelashes.

"Um, no thanks. I'll be sitting with my girlfriend at lunch," Edward said as he pulled me closer.

"Well, whatever then. When she starts to bore you, come and find me," she said before winking at him and walking away.

Spanish went by peacefully after that, and before I knew it we were at lunch. Edward and I were waiting in line to get the lunches we wouldn't eat, when Zach came and stood behind us.

"Hi Bella," Zach said with way to much excitement.

"Zach," I replied.

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out this weekend?" Zach asked, causing Edward to wrap an arm around my waist.

"Sorry, I already have plans with my boyfriend, Edward," I said as I leaned back and rested my head on Edward's chest.

"Oh, well maybe some other time," Zach said just as we reached the front of the line. I could tell Edward wanted to inform him that hell would freeze over first, but he apparently didn't want to cause any unnecessary attention on his first day. We got our food and went to sit with the rest of our family.

"I saw you two had run-ins with both the Newtons today," Alice said with a smile.

"Yes, thanks for the heads up Alice," Edward scolded, and I could tell he was still angry at Zach for asking me out.

"You're welcome," Alice said, and then we spent the rest of the lunch hour talking about school and the Newtons.

When I went to dump my tray, Brooke Newton walked up to me with an angry expression on her face.

"Listen Bella, you should know that I want Edward," she said. "And I always get what I want."

"Whatever," I said, rolling my eyes, knowing full well that she would never 'get' Edward.

"So, game on," she said rudely before walking away.

Was she kidding? Okay, fine, then game on, bitch, I thought as I walked to where Edward was waiting so we could go to biology
