A/N: So very sorry for the massive delay in updates! It's been a hectic few weeks. From an emotional breakdown due to stress, the annoying fact that there is still no internet! (It has been off for a month now), and a trip to visit my father; I haven't been able to actually sit down and write another chapter. In answer to a previous review about Edward's reaction to her scent; the mating connection/bond overpowers any bloodlust he might have had for her if she hadn't been his mate.

Chapter 6

As she sat in her first lesson of the day, she could not help but feel thankful that her first day at Forks High fell on a Friday. Although the other students probably considered it strange, she knew that had it been the beginning of the week; she would have been absent for the following days to come. Alice had warned her that the initial claiming and mating was an overpowering and heady experience. She was guaranteed to not be able to get out of bed for the remainder of the weekend.

She was kept in a constant state of arousal for the rest of her morning classes, Edward's mere presence besides her insuring her panties remained soaked. She could tell that he did not even feel an ounce of guilt about it either, as he had a permanent smirk etched onto his handsome face the entire time. Smug bastard. While horny as hell, she had regained the proper use of her brain. Not that she needed it much in these classes anyhow. She had excelled in her advanced courses in Phoenix, and so the work being covered here was easier than one plus one for her. It was boring, for sure, but it allowed her mind the freedom to drift, to think of her plans, and her Edward.

She glanced towards him periodically, eyes still smouldering beneath her lashes. She knew that his attention was nowhere close to resting on the work that had been set out for them for the next few hours. She could only imagine how many times he had repeated these modules over the past ninety or so years. No…his attention was centred on her, on their surroundings, on the thoughts flowing through their fellow students and siblings minds. She could see, if she peered carefully into his topaz orbs, the slight glaze that overcame them as he rifled through the thoughts of others. It was miniscule, easily missed by those that did not know what to look for. He appeared to others as if he was merely concentrating intently on the given work, an excellent student focused on his studies. She knew better.

She ignored the stares and whispers that followed them during the hours leading up to lunch. She did not care what the likes of Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory had to say about her. She had no time for their fake friendship and jealous childlike gossiping. They could keep their puppy dog boyfriends; she had no interest in little boys whose eyes constantly strayed to the newest girl or "toy", and thought that they were possessions instead of people. Why would she want to associate with immature little brats that thought more about their selfish wants then the feelings of others? No thanks, she would stick to her family.

Edward had been glued to her side the entire morning, therefore preventing them from approaching her. Eventually though, Mother Nature began her call, therefore briefly splitting them up while she took care of her human needs. She should have known that that was where the witches would try to ambush her. Vulnerable little new girl alone in the lavatories, ha! As if.

Lauren's awful bleach blonde hair was the first thing she viewed through the reflection of the mirror in front of her as she carefully and slowly washed her hands in the basin. The second was the constipated look on both girl's faces as they attempted to look intimidating. They were both bullies, but it was as clear as daylight who lead their little pack of sluts. Jessica was all bark, but she didn't possess the courage to actually do anything though. Lauren on the other hand…

As expected, Lauren was the one that spoke first.

"Not even here one day and already trying to whore yourself out to Edward Cullen. Don't even bother, a guy like him wouldn't even take a second look at an ugly little slut like you. Best you leave him for an actual woman that can satisfy his needs."

Her initial lack of a reaction must have given them the impression that they had won for they turned to primp themselves in the mirror. She was going to enjoy this.

"Oh you mean women like you? But that isn't right, because you two are just two little girls that like to pretend that they are the most important people on the planet, but in reality are just the two most popular bicycles in the school. Everyone gets on and has a ride. While you ugly whores have been catching god knows what and probably have diseased sores from your unprotected sex with almost the entire male population of Forks High, I've been dating and fucking Edward Cullen for years. Oh, I definitely have been satisfying his needs. He especially likes it when I let him fuck me over the hood of his Volvo. You want to mess with me? Try. I'm not one of your little victims that will scurry away into a little corner and pretend that you rule this school. Try fucking with me again and I'll make sure the entire of Forks knows exactly what diseases you two are spreading around when you fuck men behind the church building during Sunday mass."

She leant forward to purse her lips in the mirror; her reflection giving her a sensual pout, before smirking and flouncing out of the room; leaving them open-mouthed and stunned behind her.
