Bella's POV

Edward was, of course, already in his seat when I walked into class. He looked at me and smiled instantly. I was momentarily distracted by his smile as it grew even wider when he noticed my heart beat pick up. I rolled my eyes and tried to remember that I was mad at him.

"What the hell have you been telling everyone?" I asked when I sat down.

"What do you mean?" he asked causally. Like I'm supposed to believe he doesn't know. Did he forget that I know how good he is at lying? He been doing it for years. If there was a metal-... I'm getting side-tracked. I'm really glad he can't read mind or else he'd be laughing at me.

"Why are you telling people not to talk about what happened last week?" I questioned.

"I don't know what you're-"

"Cut the crap, Edward. I'm not fucking around or playing these games with you. I have PMS and GPS. Which means I'm a bitch and I will find you... Tell me." I could tell he was surprised by bluntness. I never talked to him like this before, but it was about time I did. Plus, I wanted to use that PMS/GPS line. I thought it was funny.

He cleared his throat before her started.

"We-... I thought you wouldn't want people to bring up what happened last week." he admitted.

"So you told everyone to avoid me like the damn plague?" I whispered loudly. He shook his head.

"We told everyone not to say anything about it. They must've taken it the wrong way." he explained. Well of course they were going to take it the wrong way. The Cullens intimidated everyone. I could only imagine how scared those poor kids must've been when Emmett came up to them. They probably went 'number two' in their pants.

"Edward what happens to me, no longer concerns you, so butt out." I threaten, and turn towards the front. He was quiet for a bit.

"I was just trying to help." I almost felt bad. Almost. But I had to remember what they put me through. I wasn't going to let them make me feel like I was the bad guy.

"You know... It's not at all what you think... I wish I could tell you what happened, I know you won't believe me. You know the real us would never have treated you like that. We didn't know Tanya c-," But Mr. Matthews cut him off.

"Mr. Cullen, Miss Swan. You both have lunch detention. Come to me after class for your pass." he told us. I rolled my eyes.( I was doing a lot of that lately)

Mr. Matthews was cool when he wanted to be but a total dip shit some days. He hasn't even taught us anything. Instead, he gives us work we can do in Elementary school then sits at his desk and talks about his personal life. One day he told us to compare and contrast a cat and a dog then started to talk to us about one of his blind dates that was a cross dresser. It was funny at the time, but the next day when Mr. Jasper, the assistant principal, comes in to observe us, he blames not being able to teach on us and our talking. Douche.

My mind was elsewhere for my next two class periods. What did Edward mean when he said 'the real us'? And what did Tanya have to do with any of this... besides the fact that she's his ex. What happened to her anyways?

The bell rung signaling lunch and everyone ran out. I slowly gathered my books and walked to Mr. Matthews's classroom where I knew Edward was already waiting.

Okay, so even shorter but I wanted to get this out to try to make up for all the time I wasn't posting.

QUESTIONS:

1)What do you think Edward was talking about? I think I made it pretty obvious.
