The pixie girl, Alice, walked in. Oh Crap. I felt Edward's cool skin burning into mine and dropped it. Her eyes flashed, confusion, rage, hurt, annoyance, then just calm.
"Oh, uhm, hi Alice." Edward choked out next to me. She just walked by as if she didn't see us. She walked right up to Ms. Skoob, announced she had a head ache and asked for the period off in the nurses office. Of course you can't say no to someone like her, and she was soon bounding down the hall. Well, we blew that one... I was actually scared of Alice. I barely knew her but I was definitely terrified. I was the other woman. Edward's other woman.
I would have to find her during lunch and apologize. I didn't like people angry at me. I didn't want to make a fuss. I guess it's a flaw of mine. I hate being flustered over. Some people may say it's a good thing, but my parents have always complained. I hate parties, and clubs, and I never let them do anything too special for anything. Not for my birthday, not for the holidays, nothing. People would just have to deal with it.
"Bella, here, you were zoning out. Ms. Skoob gave us our book. Wuthering Heights." My eyes lit up. Wuthering Heights was one of my favorite books ever written. It's a constant companion and always on my night table. Some people would say that my book is falling apart, I prefer the term "much loved."
"Wow, that's great. I really love that book." I told Edward.
"I noticed. I'm not sure if you realize this but your smiling so wide it looks like it hurts." He said with a small chuckle. Just as he said it I realized it was true and eased my grin into a pleasant smile as I followed Edward to the 4th row, right in the middle. I put down my book and note book, and settled down as the rest of the class trickled in.
Edward slowly inched his hand over, seeking mine. Just as my hand touched his, someone walked up to me.
"Hi, nice to meet you. James Delore." A/N: Oh Snap, yes, and by the way, its a big school, so it makes total sense for him not to have seen Emmett yet, though he knows hes there. "You're Bella, right? Do you mind if I sit here?" He asked, motioning to the empty chair next to her.
"Not at all." I said. He seemed pretty nice. Very clean cut, wearing a polo and slacks.
My hand was still frozen, just barely touching Edward's as I engaged in conversation with James.
"Hi, I was new here a couple years ago. I know how weird it is, there aren't too many new people here. Not many people would think of moving to Forks, Washington." He said, laughing.
I laughed too, but suddenly got very serious as I said. "My dad is the Police Chief, he's lived ehre practically his whole life. Are you trying to insinuate something?" I asked, in mock anger.
"Oh my gosh no! I'm so sorry! Chief Swan is so nice. I didn't mean anythin-" He said, but I cut him off.
"Don't worry about it, I was messing with you." I said, taking my turn to laugh.
"Oh..." He said, trailing off.
Before he could continue, Edward cut in.
"Bella, honey, what were you saying about Wuthering Heights?" He said innocently, trying to mask the fact that he was doing the same thing he did with Mike, steering me away. His jealousy was adorable. I didn't mind him trying to do it. I clearly liked him best, and no way did I want to send mixed signals. I put my hand into his and gave it a squeeze.
"I was just saying how much I love it, sweetie." I said, relaying that I got his message. No more James Delore. Well, it'd be pretty hard to ignore someone sitting right next to me, but as long as I was next to Edward, it was fine.
"So, Edward," I said, keeping the conversation going, to keep avoiding James, "I was thinking that maybe, for lunch maybe all of us new kids could sit together? You, me, Emmett and Alice? Maybe we'll invite that blond couple too? They seemed nice." I said, actually just coming up with the idea and deciding I liked it. It gave me the chance to say sorry to Alice, and break up Jasper and Rosalie.
"Emmett McCarty?" James asked from next to me. Well, I couldn't ignore him if he talked to me flat out.
"Yes, you know him?" I asked.
"Know him? He and I were best friends until I moved here!" He said. A/N: Mind you, James knows fully well that Emmett is here, he just wants another excuse to talk to Bella
"Oh wow that's so cool. Emmett and I are..." I said, trailing off. What are we? We;re boyfriend and girlfriend but he gave me permission to cheat. Kind of. "...best friends too. What a coincidence." Next to me Edward laughed at my cover up. This James guy clearly wasn't going to stop talking, I needed an escape. He was starting to bug me now. Either he was an idiot who couldn't see I was with someone else, or just didn't care. I had to make it as obvious as possible.
"Eddie, love," I said, hoping, begging, that Edward understood where I was going and didn't think I was serious, love is a strong word for the first day. I think, well I don't know about Edward. But still, "What are we doing on our date Saturday night?" I said, stressing the words that I most wanted James to hear.
"Please, never become an actress." He whispered so quietly I had to strain to hear it.
"Oh I don't know, lovey, maybe a nice dinner date in Port Angeles?" He said, straining the right words as well. I quickly wondered whether we were actually planning a date, and I felt a blush rise up to my cheeks. Hearing him call me lovey seemed to right. It seemed natural.
"That sounds great, honey!" I said. I made a silent prayer no one else was listening. The classroom was almost full now, class was 2 minutes to starting. If anyone heard, they could tell Emmett. I know he gave me the go ahead to be close with him and cheat, kind of, but not to call Edward "love" and plan a date for this Saturday. That was just moving a bit too fast. No matter how perfect Edward was. And how allowing Emmett was.
Finally, class started, we sat in silence. James seemed to have gotten the message. I wasn't interested. Class was interesting so I didn't really talk to Edward at all. I just took comfort in his presence and squeezed his hand every so often. Ms. Skoob was the only teacher not to make us go through the embarrassing introductions and all, we just went right into class. They all knew who we were anyway. News travels fast here.
Eventually the bell rung. We walked out of class and stopped.
"Sorry I have to go to the bathroom." Edward said, his voice right in my ear. I just nodded and waited close to the bathroom door which was right across from the English room.

It all happened in slow motion. I heard some kind of noise outside. A male voice, confident, coaxing. A female voice, which I realized too late to be Bella's, worried and shaky. Then a crash. A deep gravely voice joined in then, and there was more crashing. I flung the door open. Bella was standing right against a locker, a hand right behind her, between her back and a lock, rubbing her back. James was on the floor, with a bruise forming under his eye. Emmett, standing between him and Bella, my Bella, crouching defensively. I ran out and checked on Bella.
"Bella, are you okay? What happened?" I asked, quickly. I was terrified. I gathered that James tried to make a move on Bella, she denied him, and somehow that crash worked in. Emmett came over and set James straight. I wasn't sure.
"Yes, what did happen Ms. Swan? " Asked a teacher. "All of you, Ms. Swan, Mr. Cullen, Mr. McCarty come to my office. I expect you to manage to bring Mr. Delore with us as well. Let's sort this out, shall we?"
"Yes ma'am" We all said simultaneously. I was filled with rage and disgust at having to drag that half-unconscious pig with us to that woman's office.
We walked down the hall to the end of the building where the teachers offices sat next to the Cafeteria. She dragged us into the office that said Guidance Counselor. I really didn't like Guidance Counselors, well, too late for that now.
"Sit down, please. And Ms. Swan, please, share your side of the story."
Bella took a deep breath and began the terrifying story.
"Well, I had just exited English class, I had sat inbetween James and Edward. James kept trying to talk to me, like mentioning he knew Emmett too, and I kept hinting I was with someone else and he just didn't get it. So finally, we just go class in silence. After class Edward had to go to the bathroom. As soon as the door closed, James comes straight towards me. He said, 'Hey baby, wanna hang out just you and me? Without your friend Eddie?'" I tensed up immediately. I hated James Delore. "So I told him I wasn't interested. I was happily in a relationship. He said we'll see about that. He pushed me back into the lockers, hitting my back on one of the locks and tried to kiss me. Just as he leaned in, he flew off as Emmett tackled him down. Emmett is my boyfriend. Emmett punched James in self defense when James tried to get up and back at me. Then Edward came out of the bathroom and checked up on me." She said. I held the bridge of my nose between my thumb and forefinger, taking deep breaths. I needed to calm down before I punched this guys lights out. I didn't want to get in trouble. I was smarter than that..
"Okay, so in that case, Mr. Delore, you have 2 weeks detention. You should watch how you act, you're lucky we accepted you considering the state you were in before, don't make us regret it. Now, Mr. McCarty, Bella says you know James? Would you mind explaining?"
I sighed deeply. I didn't think the punishment was steep enough, but it was punishment.
Emmett squirmed in his seat, and looked uncomfortable, before finally settling down and taking a deep breath.
"Well, in the years leading up to his transfer we were... best friends... When I saw the jerk who left me in 8th grade, hitting on my sweet girlfriend, I just couldn't contain myself." He said, leaving it simple.
"Alright, Mr. McCarty, Mr. Cullen, Ms. Swan, you are free to go. Mr. Delore will stay here until he is fully functional and he can actually hear me when he hears how much trouble he's in." She said with a smile. Off you go. You don't want to be late for your next class, do you?" She said. Did I say I didnt like Guidance Counselors? I was just kidding.
"No ma'am" We all said in unison again.
"Good, now run along." She said, her tone dismissive, and authoritative.
