Walking down the school corridor with a ring on has got both its pros and cons. For one, it told the girls that Edward was taken. Before we went official about our engagement, girls flocked to Edward like there was no tomorrow. After they knew he was taken, they steered clear of him since they knew that there was no chance of him being theirs. Score one to Bella! I can still recall vividly how Tanya had reacted to our engagement...
Tanya rushed up to Edward, her face streaked with (fake) tears. "It can't be real right? Are you really engaged to Bella Swan?" She shot a glare at me as she grabbed onto Edward's arm. "I'm sorry for slapping you the other day, I still love you!"
Edward then dramatically flashed his ring at her and she looked at the ring incredulously. After collecting herself, her attitude took a 180 degree turn and spat, "Disgusting couple!" before slapping Edward and strutting off, almost tripping on an empty can of Coke. Edward looked momentarily shocked, his cheek turning pink where Tanya had left her handprint.
"Aww, poor Eddie gets slapped again," I chuckled, rubbing his cheek softly.
Unfortunately, as I said before, there were cons to this as well. I could feel the daggers of jealousy and outrage of Edward's fans almost every day, plus rumors began spreading like wildfire on why we were engaged at such a young age.
Being a subject of rumors was not the best feeling in the world, but with Edward's warm and reassuring hand entwined with mine, I felt that I could rule the world. Well, maybe not literally, but I felt that I could get through difficulties with him by my side.
As cliche as it sounds, things don't always go as planned.
Author's Note: Yet another ridiculously short chapter from me again! Perhaps I should update with longer chapters once a day rather than update several short chapters many times a day ._. Hmm hmm...
