Two updates in one week? That's a first for me regarding this story. It's kind of short, but next chapter is the important one. This one is kind of a filler-ish.
Edward was really mad about the stuffed animal thing. He chased me all around school and the school grounds, until I wasn't paying attention to wear I was going and I fell right into the outdoor pool that the swim team used for competitions and practice when the weather was hot. Edward doubled over in laughter and I glared at him.
"You could at least bring me a towel," I told him while my teeth were chattering. Still laughing, he grabbed a towel and brought it over to me. I smiled sweetly at him and went to take the towel, but instead I grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the pool with me. "That's what you get asshole!"
"I'm the asshole? You took a picture of me sleeping with your stuffed animal and put it all on the Internet! You're a bitch."
"Asshole," I said and splashed him.
"Bitch," he shot back and splashed me. We fought in the pool for a good twenty minutes until the swim coach, Mr. May, saw us and called Dean Rivers to come down. The two of us laughed nervously at him as we climbed out of the pool.
"It's all his fault," was my argument and Edward scoffed. I shoved him, making him lose his balance and fall back into the pool. While he was falling, he grabbed my skirt and pulled me back with him. Our splash hit Dean Rivers, soaking him.
"Detention tomorrow," he said calmly and walked away.
"This is all your fault," I said and pouted as I sat in a classroom with Edward and Mrs. Baker, the nastiest teacher in the school. Some random stoners who were caught lighting up during class were sitting in the back, but they were always here. I rarely got detention.
"You started it," he said.
"You know, I never get detention," I hissed.
"With all the shit you pull? I find that unlikely."
"I'm smart enough not to get caught. Now, because you're a royal pain in my ass, I'm sitting here with you of all people."
"You should feel honored."
"Oh yes, I want to spend all my time with you. Sharing a room with you isn't enough for me, Eddie. I need to constantly be around you."
"No one likes a clingy whore, Bella," he said and smirked.
"Fuck. You." I said through clenched teeth. Mrs. Baker was glaring at the two of us, but I rolled my eyes at her. I put my iPod in my ears and took out the Biology homework Mr. Banner had given us. It was a double-sided work sheet with a picture of a penis on one side and a vagina on the other. I felt someone tap me on the shoulder, and I gave Edward and irritated look. "What?"
"Can I copy that when you're done?"
"Why? I'm sure out of all people, you know a vagina and a dick very well."
"I don't feel like doing it."
"No, stop being lazy," I said and put my headphone back in my ear.
"Mrs. Baker, Bella's drawing penises. Very detailed penises," Edward said.
"Ms. Swan, is that true?" she asked.
"What? No, do I look like Seth from Superbad? It's Biology homework. The human reproductive system," I said.
"Please put that inappropriate picture away," she said.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me," I mumbled to myself as I shoved it back into my bag. "You're like a ten year old, Edward. Were you this big of a rat when you were younger? How did you have friends?"
"My good looks and charm," he said and smirked.
"You were definitely like Steven Glansberg," I told him. Ms. Baker finally dismissed Edward and I, and I ran to Rose's room, desperate to get away from Edward.
"I survived," I said as I burst into Rosalie's room. She was sitting on her bed, looking frustrated. "What's got your panties in a knot?"
"This English essay! Like, what the fuck!" she said and threw the papers on the bed.
"What's it on?"
"I have to write a five paragraph essay on two books using a critical lens. When the fuck am I ever going to need this in life?"
"Relax," I told her and put all the papers on her desk. "The essay isn't due for another two months. Don't stress yourself out."
"You're right," she said and let out a breath. "So, how was detention?"
"Miserable, absolutely miserable. I can't take him," I said.
"I have to admit, the whole pool thing was pretty funny. I think even Dean Rivers got a kick out of it, but just had to give the two of you detention. Personally, I think he likes tormenting the both of you."
"I don't enjoy it. I have to stay with him tonight and all of tomorrow and then I finally have my own room again. BTW, I need all new room stuff since it was burned to a crisp."
"Let's go to Pottery Barn then! Oh my God I love that store," Rose said and pulled me out of her room. I laughed at her hastiness as we ran to the parking lot, but stopped when we saw Edward surrounded by a bunch of guys, swinging a pair of underwear around.
"Going once, going twice, SOLD! To the guy in the back," he said and threw the underwear to some pervert.
"Those boy-shorts looked awfully familiar," I said to Rose. No, he wouldn't. "CULLEN!!!!"
"Why Swan, would you like to join in on this lovely auction?" he asked as he showed me the box filled with my underwear.
"Edward, you give me back my underwear right now, or so help me."
"Now, now, we wouldn't want to end up in detention again."
"Edward Anthony Cullen, give me the underwear and the money or you'll regret it," I said, clenching my fists to control my anger.
"What are you gonna do?" he asked. I ran at him full speed and knocked him on his back. He groaned in pain as I slapped him across the face. Rose had grabbed all the underwear that got sold back, threw them in the box, took the box and ran to her car to put it in there. I grabbed the money out of Edward's hand and smacked his forehead before I got off of him.
"You're a true dick," I said and walked away. He got off of the ground and I heard him tell everyone there were no refunds. I got into Rosalie's car and she peeled out of the parking lot.
"I'm thinking that was his payback for the stuffed animal picture," Rose said.
"Asshole," I said. "Who does he think he is, selling my fucking underwear!? Who the fuck does that!"
"Edward?"
"He's so dead," I said. I tried to think of something to get him back with, and then I remembered. "He messed with the wrong girl."
"Bella, what are you gonna do?" Rose asked as I scrolled through my phone until I found the picture. I smirked and send out a mass text message. Rose's phone buzzed and she looked at me curiously.
"Just look at your phone when we pulled into the parking lot," I told her. Edward Cullen was going down. She finally found a spot to park and we got out of the car. She looked at the text message and started hysterical laughing.
"Bella! Where did you get this?"
"Why do you think I stay sober at some parties?" I said and laughed.
"He's going to flip out once you get back, you know that right?"
"It's so worth it. That's what he gets for selling my underwear. The stuffed animal thing wasn't even that bad."
"You're evil," she said.
"I'm sorry, I'm Emmett's sister," I said, causing Rose to laugh even more.
"Honey, I'm home," I said as I dropped the Pottery Barn bags in Edward's room. He got off the couch and walked toward me. "How was your day?"
"Oh, fantastic until I got tackled by a 5'4" beast and got a text sent by the same beast that I wear women's underwear. Where the fuck did you get that picture?" he said as he backed me against the door.
"Oh you know, you were drunk and horny. You boned some girl, got confused which one was your underwear, and I happened to think the bedroom was the bathroom so I opened that door and found out in that lacy little number. No offense, but purple really isn't your color."
"This is beyond, Swan."
"No, what's beyond is you selling my underwear to creepy perverts. What if Newton came over?! He would have bought the whole fucking box and built a shrine out of them! Don't even mention the stuffed animal thing because that was a joke. You took things too far today," I said, pushing on his chest, making him stumble backwards. I went to walk away, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
"There's pictures of me in women's underwear on everyone's phone. I think that's worse."
"We're even now, Cullen; fucking leave it at that," I said and pulled my arm out of his grasp.
"You're such a bitch," he said.
"Come up with something new Edward! I know I'm a bitch, that doesn't affect me!"
"Okay, so what about a cold bitch who finds enjoyment out of not only physically hurting people, but emotionally hurting them too? What about someone who doesn't give a damn about anyone, not even themselves, because your so against anything that can bring happiness? You're a miserable bitch, Swan."
"You don't fucking know half of it. I have my reasons for being like this, but you? What are your reasons for being a prick who knows he can get any girl and uses that to hurt them? You don't give a fuck who you hurt. Do you really think that all those girls you hooked up with, and the few who you slept with, really just wanted that from you and nothing more. Those girls are still probably waiting for a fucking phone call from the 'great Edward Cullen'. I might be the miserable bitch, but you're a self-destructive manwhore," I told him and left. I heard him open the door, so I turned around. "Edward, obviously this is how we're going to spend every fucking night. I fight with you and leave and you tell me to come back."
"Just seriously, come back here. You're right, I'm sorry," he said. I looked at him, trying to find any trace of him lying. I pushed past him and sat on his couch.
"I'm not saying I'm sorry for what I said. I meant it and I know you meant what you said too. I might be wrong on some things, but I'm not sorry I said it."
"Bella, I'm trying to figure you out, but you won't let me in."
"I just can't," I said and sighed. "Not yet."
"Fine," he said and pinched the bridge of his nose. "What do you want to do?"
"I don't care."
"Alright," he said slowly and got off of the couch. "Want to watch a movie?"
"Superbad, put it on," I said quickly. He laughed at me and put the movie in. "Best movie ever."
"Of course you would love this movie."
"I know every word, so don't make fun of me when I start saying lines."
We were actually civil while watching the movie, which was odd seeing how the course of the day played out. I started falling asleep in the corner of the couch. I felt him get off the couch and stand over me, but I pushed him back.
"If you move me from this couch, I will kick you in the balls so hard they will crawl back into your body and hide, do you understand me?" I said as menacingly as possible since I was half asleep.
"Yes ma'am," he said and covered his boys. I stretched as I got off the couch to get ready for bed. "Bella, put some actual clothes on tonight?"
"Mm," I mumbled as I stumbled into the bathroom. I quickly washed up and made my way to the couch. He put pillows and blankets there and I smiled at him as I lay down.
"Night Bella," he said and turned out the lights.
"Night Edward," I said. "Oh, Edward."
"Yeah?"
"If you had really looked at who I sent the picture to, you would have seen it only went to Emmett, Alice, Rose, Nessie and Jake. All of them had seen the picture before today, except Rose."
"Oh," he said stupidly.
"Yes, well, goodnight," I said and smiled to myself, knowing I shut him up.
"Ugh," I said as I got off of the couch to go to the bathroom. I hated having to pee in the middle of the night. I turned the lights on and looked at the clock, it was 2:33 in the morning. As I made my way to the bathroom, I stopped short. There was a huge bug crawling around his room. "Edward!" I screamed as I jumped on the couch.
"What?" he said angrily as he sat up in bed. "It's two-thirty in the morning, go to sleep!"
"Edward!" I screamed as I pointed to the floor. He looked at me and saw me panicking, jumping up and down on the couch, and he started laughing. "Stop laughing! It's not funny. There's a monster crawling on the floor and you find it funny!"
"Bella, it's a bug, relax and go back to sleep," he said.
I glared at him as I turned the lights off and lay back down on the couch. Right as I was drifting to sleep, I heard it. I screamed again, turned the lights back on, jumped on the counter and got the Febreze. "Edward!"
"Isabella! It's just a bug," he said.
"Edward, it's a cricket! Those shits jump. I am not spending a night with Jiminy!"
"Jiminy?" he asked with a smirk.
"Don't make fun of me!" I said and threw my pillow at him. "The couch is low and he might jump up here, and then crawl into my ear, and then have little babies!"
"Where do you come from?" he asked, I flipped him off in response. I saw Jiminy crawl out from under the couch, and I screamed again as I sprayed the Febreze. "Bella, that's not going to do anything except make it smell in here."
"He lives under the couch. I can't sleep with him living underneath me. He might have a wife, and children. Maybe a little condo set up! It could be a cricket complex under there and you have no idea," I said quickly, causing Edward to laugh even harder. "Fuck off, Edward!"
"If you're that scared of a little bug, come sleep in the bed since he can't jump this high."
"You just want to get me in bed."
"As much as I would love to agree with that, you've been at this for half an hour and I want to get to sleep," he said. I grabbed my pillows, blanket, and Minnie Mouse and leaped from the couch onto the bed. "You're unbelievable."
"I am not walking on that floor until I know for sure there isn't a village of crickets that could invite over other friends."
"Just go to sleep, Swan," he said as he lay back down. I got under the covers and snuggled up with my pillow. "You just wanted to sleep in the same bed or couch as me again," he said sleepily.
"Yes you figured me out," I answered sarcastically. "Go to sleep Cullen."
"Where are you going?" I asked as he got out of bed.
"Back to my room, I need to get some sleep."
"Why don't you just stay here?"
"Because I don't want to. I had a good time," he said as he put his shirt on.
"Oh well, okay. I'll see you tomorrow, I love you," I told him.
"Yeah, bye," he said and left.
I sat up in bed, panting and crying. Edward sat up too and was rubbing soothing circles on my back.
"Bella, are you okay?" he asked and I shook my head.
"We need to talk," I told him. "Tomorrow."
"Okay," he said while nodding. "Let's just go back to sleep." I nodded and lay back down. He enveloped me in his arms and I snuggled into his chest. Day two, complete.
Sorry if the chapter seemed a little .. choppy? That might make sense lol. But like I said before, it's more of a filler chapter than anything else. Bella tells Edward in the next chapter :O I don't know when I'll update again, since I have a booked weekend and I start school Thursday. Hopefully I'll get it done soon, but I can't promise anything.
So, I've been meaning to tell everyone about this but I keep forgetting about it. I have pictures of the outfits they wear up. I'll put the link on my profile if anyone wants to see them.
I really want to thank everyone who reviewed, especially everyone who banged their heads on their keyboards, lol. I really appreciate the reviews. Please keep it up. It really makes me happy to see that people love this story. I'm kind of considering not updating until I get an insane amount of reviews on the entire story.
So please? REVIEW(: Thanks(:
