DEFYING DESTINY

CHAPTER 5

I avoided Edward for the rest of the day incase Bella carried out her threat. When school finished I walked through the lot en route to my home when I saw the back of Edward, standing with what I assumed was his family. I thought as much because although they don't quite share the same looks, they all had dark circles under the eyes, they were freakishly pale, and they were all drop-dead gorgeous. Edward turned around and met my longing gaze. The intensity of his stare made me blush but memories of what Bella had said stung my heart and made me turn away. I bit my lip and felt tears well in my eyes. The look on Bella's face when she threatened me was dead. She mean't what she said.

I noticed several emotions flick over Edwards face: Searching, shock, disgust, then rage.

"Oh god, he hates crying girls, doesn't he?" I thought sadly, then regained my composure. And with a fake smile I nodded at Edward and walking towards the exit of the lot. That is until I felt an ice cold hand grab my wrist. Reeling from shock, I nearly fell over but regained my composure quickly.

"What are you doing?!" I hissed and felt him grab my chin and jerk it gently to look at him.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly.

"I'm fine!" I lied. The afternoon sunlight caught the tears on my eyelashes, making them sparkle like diamonds. His face softened, then he leaned down and I felt his cool breath fan my face.

A shrill scream interrupted us. I jumped away from Edward and looked over to where the scream originated from. The whole school was staring at us. With a livid Bella in the middle.

AN: Tell me what you think!
