Bella's Point of View

Edward turned to face me, his signature glare still in place. Obviously he was as happy as I was about being with him for an hour.

"Ok Edward enough of the glaring. I know we haven't been getting along and since we're going to be stuck together in class for an hour everyday I propose a truce," I said, trying to make the situation better.

"There is no way in hell I am making a truce with you," Edward replied.

"Why not? It doesn't mean we have to be nice to each other. It just means that we have to be cordial. Hell, we don't even have to talk to each other. We can just pretend that the other doesn't exist," I said.

"I don't associate myself with bitches like you," was his answer.

The nerve of this guy was amazing. He brought all of this upon himself. I mean he was rude and a jerk to me and when I defend myself he calls me a bitch. What do these girls see in him? Probably just a good looking face, killer body, and that he was on the football team.

"It sure seems like you do by first asking me out and how you hang out with Lauren and Jessica," I said my voice getting louder by the second.

He turned to me, his expression calm and collected as if people always talked to him like this. His eyes on the other hand were bright with furry.

His trying to keep it all in so I look like a psychopath I thought. Well lets see if he likes this.

"But, hey who am I to judge? I guess you just prefer whores and sluts instead," I said smirking.

His reaction was just the one I was looking for. His careful facade had dropped. His mouth had turned down into a frown while the glare he gave me so much returned.

"Well at least I'm not a tease!" He shouted to the class. If it was a screaming match he wanted, it was a screaming match he was going to get.

"I rejected you in the parking lot and I haven't come onto you since! How is that being a tease? I guess you don't know the meaning of the word because you're used to girls flinging themselves on you and you getting some," I screamed, wanting the entire world to hear what was going on. Let his playboy image suffer because I was again insulting him, the one girl that had said no to him.

"Well at least I'm not a no-it-all bitch who thinks I'm always right!" he screamed back.

"At least I'm not someone who tries to get down a girls pants every 10 seconds!" I yelled.

"THAT'S IT! SWAN, CULLEN, REPORT TO THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE!" Mr. Banner had to scream over us.

When we didn't move and just stared at him he said "NOW!"

We collected our books and made our way to the principals office quietly. The silence didn't last though because of Mr. Bigmouth walking next to me. Did he ever know when to lay off?

"This is all your fault you know," he said, trying to blame me for what had happened in the classroom. All i had done was try and make a truce so we wouldn't have been at each others throat. It backfired and I had provoked him a little, but at least I had tried and at least I had made the effort, unlike him.

When I had reminded him of this he just ignored me and blamed me again. He really knows what to say to get under my skin and make me angry.

"Do you ever take responsibility for your actions?" I asked him. Though I didn't want to fight on the way to the principals office, I had to ask the question. It seemed like no matter what happened to him when it involved me, it was always my fault. And frankly I was tired of it.

"No, actually I don't," he said. By the look on his face he seemed to be startled at himself for answering my question truthfully.

"Do you know what I think your problem is?" I asked as we went into the office and sat down in the chairs provided.

"Please enlighten me. You know I always wanted to have someone tell me what my problem is and what's wrong with me," he said sarcastically.

I continued as if he hadn't spoken."No one has ever told you no. No one has ever refused to go out with you and no one has ever not given you what you wanted and you have no idea how to handle it so you lash out at them," I said, surprising him.

He was about to say something but i cut him off. This was my time and damn it I was going to make him listen to me, even if he didn't want to.

"No let me finish," I said not even caring if he wasn't listening to a word I said, "You have every girl throwing themselves at you and though I don't know why, I do know that one day you're going to get tired of it. You're going to want a real relationship and you're not going to get one. You'll be labeled the playboy and no girl who wants a real relationship is going to want to start one with a guy whose slept with every girl in the state of Washington."

As soon as I finished my little rant I was called into the principals office. I stopped before I went in and said to him, "And just to let you know, I don't hate you. I hate how you act, I did even in freshman year, and that's why I told you I wouldn't go out with you. Hopefully I'll see you in biology tomorrow, if we don't get into too much trouble now."

With that I went and sat down in the chair in the principals office. I didn't care about whether I was getting into trouble or not though. I just wanted Edward to think about what I said, to just listen to me for this one time. Soon I regretted not looking to see if he was paying attention. It would have been easier to tell if I had just looked at his face, but of course I had forgotten in my haste to tell him what was wrong with him.

Now time to face the principal. Oh what fun this should be. Stupid Cullen for his being able to infuriate me.

The principals name was Mrs. Stanos. She had red hair that was pulled into a high, tight bun. She had beautiful dark brown eyes that seemed to hold all the knowledge in the world. Her face was blemish free and she had thin lips. The look on her face though was not one of pleasure. Her lips were pointing down into a frown.

When I thought I would meet the principal of Forks High I had always thought that it would be to win an award or for something important, not for getting into a screaming match with the best football player at Forks High.

"Miss Swan," she said," You do know why you are here, correct?"

"Yes I do, Mrs, Stanos," I said as politely as possible, trying not to get into more trouble than I already was.

"May I ask why you and Mr. Cullen got into a very public fight using vulgar words in class?" she asked.

I replied with, "Edward and I do not get along as you can obviously tell from the argument that we got into. I promise you it will never happen again and that Edward and I will act as civil as possible to each other from now on."

"It better not happen again. I have already called your father and also Edward's parents and they are on their way here to pick you up. Both of you will have detention for the rest of the week everyday. If you miss even a day then you will have 2 weeks of detention," she told me.

"I won't miss a day," I mumbled to myself. What was there to possibly do in Forks that would make me miss my punishment?

Then Mrs. Cope came in telling me that Charlie was here to pick me up. Great I now would get to play 20 questions with my father on the way home on top of having a week's worth of detention and it was only my second day here!

Charlie came into the room and Mrs. Stanos informed him of what had happened and what my punishment was. She wished him a good day and I was free to go home. Now it was Edward's turn. Lucky for him his parents had not shown up yet. I looked at his expression but it gave nothing away. Damn.

I wonder if he'd get Mrs. Stanos to lift the punishment and let us off the hook I thought. It probably wouldn't be that hard with him being so good looking and everything. Though his mouth and his arrogant attitude may get him into trouble. I snickered at the thought.

Charlie snapped me out of my thoughts though with, "Bella, get into your car and drive home. I've got to get back to the station. We'll talk about what happened when I get home and you better explain everything to me. Got it?"

"Yes dad," I said remorsefully.

We both got into the separate cars and Charlie drove away. I, on the other hand, was having trouble starting my engine. That's when I saw Edward and his parents heading out of the school and towards their cars. Edward looked thoughtful while his parents walked in front of him. They were too far away to see their faces.

I tried to get my engine to start quietly but my truck had other ideas. It started with a loud roar and all 3 of them looked my way. I blushed. So much for a quiet and stealthy exit.

I didn't look their way while I drove away, blush still on my face. I mentally prepared myself for the questions and the punishment I was going to receive from Charlie. Well at least I could go grocery shopping right now.

Ok, Ok. I know he told me to go home but we really needed food and I was already in trouble so how much more could I get into?

I parked at the nearest grocery store, got out of my truck, and went inside. I grabbed a cart from the entrance and started my grocery shopping adventure. I felt better as I walked through the isles, picking up items that we needed. It felt a little more like in Phoenix where I always did the grocery shopping and made the food.

I paid for the items, put them into the truck, and drove back home. I unloaded the groceries and decided that I need to suck up a little. So I cleaned every inch of the house, folded all of the laundry and had dinner ready by the time Charlie got home.

Charlie looked surprised as he surveyed everything, his face soon turning into appreciation. Maybe I went a little overboard, but it looked like it was working.

We sat down for dinner and I knew the questions were about to start. I kept my head low and focused on my food.

"So Bells. Mind telling me what happened today?" Charlie asked looking expectantly at me.

"Edward Cullen and I got into a fight today in biology, we were sent to the principals office and I got detention," I said.

"Why did you get into a fight?" he asked.

"Edward and i just don't get along and we sit next to each other. It was just a recipe for trouble," I responded.

"I just don't understand Bells. You've never gotten into trouble in your entire life. Why have you started now? Do you want to go back to Phoenix, is that it?" Charlie asked. He kept going and going asking all these question about me and liking Forks. I had to cut him off.

"Dad, don't worry. It was just a one time thing. Both Edward and I will act more mature towards each other in the future. I promise I love Forks and I do not want to go back to Phoenix," I said, trying to convince him that everything was ok.

Charlie looked visibly relieved. "Ok Bells. As long as you're happy."

"Oh and I almost forgot!" I said, "Alice Cullen invited me for a back to school party at her house on Saturday. I told her I was going."

"Are you sure that it'll be ok? Alice is Edward's brother after all..." Charlie said trailing off.

"I already told Alice about it and she said that it would be alright. I would really like to go dad. Please," I said, giving him my best pout.

"I guess it's fine," he said not looking happy about my decision.

"Thank you dad."

We ate the rest of the meal in silence. I was so ecstatic just not to be in even more trouble. The rest of the night passed by as usual. Charlie watched ESPN and I did my homework. When I was done with my homework I took my routine shower before bed and after I was done I climbed into my night clothes and attempted to fall asleep.

I couldn't though, no matter how hard I tried. My thoughts kept drifting back to Edward.

Why are you thinking about him? You don't like him remember? Then why couldn't I get him out of my thoughts.

Had he really heard what I said to him today? I had hoped so because everything that I had said to him I meant. I regretted nothing I had told him, not even when I was insulting him. He had deserved what I felt had been kept from him for too long, the truth that his behavior was not right and that one day it would come back to haunt him. As soon as I realized that I wasn't guilty about anything sleep came easily.

That was the first night I dreamed about the person I was supposed to dislike more than words can describe.

When I arrived at school the next day everyone was staring at me again, looking at the girl who had gotten into a yelling match with the Edward Cullen in biology. As I walked to my first class I heard whispers about it.

"I heard she tried to slap him."

"He tried to make out with him and she snapped calling him and man-whore."

I rolled my eyes at them. This would all go away eventually... I hope.

I was stopped my a small pixie running into my and giving me a bone-crushing hug. Who knew someone so small could have the much strength in a hug?

"Hey Alice," I gasped, trying to breathe.

"Bella I'm so proud of you!" she screamed.

Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmet were right behind her, grinning at me.

"The little midget is right," Emmett said, "I've never seen Edward so out of control before. Mom and Dad almost took him out of the game this Friday."

"Hey I'm not a midget!" Alice exclaimed.

We all started at her. "Ok maybe I am," she mumbled and we all laughed. Someone cleared their throats behind us and we turned to see Edward staring back at us.

"Do you mind if I speak to Bella... alone?"


A cliffhanger! Sorry my readers I just had to. Like it? Tell me about it by hitting that blue and/or purplish looking button :) One question though... Does anybody really know what color it really is??
