The first and second weeks of school were really fun, I made a lot of friends but Mathew kept annoying me and it was really starting to get to me.
I sat down in my place and looked at the board, I copied all the notes and started learning them off. I felt a sharp pain in my knee and I looked at it, Mathew kicked it. I looked at him and he smirked.
I really wanted to tackle him to the ground and show him who was boss! But I couldn't, I didn't want to make a bad impression.
I sighed and glared at him, I lightly punched back and resumed to learning. I felt another pain in my leg and I winced inwardly.
I looked at Mike and he was glaring, 'Recess' he mouthed. I knew what that meant, Fight.
I shrugged and Mike looked at Eric who nodded along with Jasper. I rolled my eyes and started writing the English homework questions off the board.
The bell went signaling Recess, I groaned and got up. I went towards Alice's place and sat on her desk, she looked up at me and I smiled, she frowned knowingly.
"Hey Edward, you coming?" Eric asked.
"Yeah I will be right out." I told them, they nodded and left.
"Edward please think before you do this, just think about what this will do to affect everyone." She said.
"I am not fighting." I told her, "They can if they want to, but I am not. Mom would throw a fit." I whispered.
She nodded and left, I got a breakfast bar out of my backpack and then walked out of the room, I was just turning the corner when I heard someone.
"Hey Edward." Her high pitched voice squealed.
I groaned and turned around seeing Jessica, I plastered a smile on my face.
"Hey Jessica." I said, continuing to walk, she matched my pace and I sighed.
"So want to hang out?" She asked.
I looked at her, not moving, what was she on? I don't like her. Okay Edward think, what can I say, say something?, I thought to myself.
"Um sorry I got to go find my friends." I told her, looking across the yard.
"So I am not your friend?" She asked hurt.
"You are you just not a guy friend." I told her.
She looked confused and I walked across the grass, I heard her following, I felt like telling her to go away, she was attracting to much attention since everyone was watching us.
I stopped walking and saw Mike, he gestured for me to come over, I nodded, "I got to go." I told her.
"Wait Edward, you said you didn't want to hang out with me since I'm not a guy friend so I hope this changes your mind and you want to be friends with me." She whispered.
She stepped closer and I stepped back, I felt my back hit something and I winced, she kept coming, I gently put my hands on her shoulders trying to keep away from her awaiting lips, but that didn't happen she literally attacked me, her rough lips pressing against mine.
I pushed her away, "What the hell?" I asked, "Your crazy, stay away from me." I yelled at her.
She looked hurt but I didn't care. I looked behind her and saw a crowd of people, Mathew looked at me glaring, I saw his fists flexing and I prepared myself.
I walked away from her and then to Mike, who had a shocked expression on his face.
"He is going to kill you." Jasper whispered, gesturing to behind me.
As soon as I turned around, a fist connected with my face - it didn't hurt. I hated myself for breaking my promise to Alice but I punched Mathew back and soon I found myself tackling him. I punched him once more and suddenly I was pulled up.
"Edward, stop. He is not worth it." Emmett whispered to me.
He held me by the shoulders and I picked up my hat, putting it on. It hid the black eye that was forming.
Mike and Eric helped Mathew up. His nose was bleeding and he may have had a bruised jaw but everything else was in tacked.
He came up to me, "So we don't get in trouble, we both bumped into each other, got it?" He said.
"Crystal clear." I told him.
He nodded and moved through the dispersed crowd. Emmett turned me around.
"Mom is going to have a fit when she sees you." He said.
"We will tell her I fell." I told him simply.
"Edward there is a fist mark on your eyebrow line." He sighed.
"I will keep my hat on then." I told him.
He rolled his eyes and looked down at me, "Just please be careful, I don't want to lose my brother." He said.
I nodded and looked around us, everyone was going inside. I followed and took my seat in class.
We started our math lesson, I looked at Mathew, his nose looked fine and his jaw bruise wasn't visible. Looked like I went easy on him.
I looked back at the board and saw that the teacher was looking at me, "Edward hat." I sighed and took it off, looking down at the table. I heard her continue and as I looked at the board she looked at me gasping.
"Edward what happened?" She asked.
"O I bumped into Mathew while swinging." I told her.
She looked at me and I smiled weakly back. She hummed at both of us before leaving.
"Both of you go to the nurses office and get ice packs to but on your faces." She told us.
We nodded and got up. I walked out the door and continued walking.
"Wait up." I heard him call.
I looked behind me and saw Mathew staring at me, "What? Thought you hated me. Know you want to walk with me." I said.
"Look I don't hate you, but you are hitting on my girlfriend, and I don't like it." He said.
"I wasn't hitting on her, she kissed me, I didn't want to kiss her. I don't like Jessica. She is kind of ugly." I told him.
He shrugged, "She is the only girl in our class that likes to make-out."
My eyebrows furrowed, "So your using her?" I asked him.
"Yeah, well until the next girl comes." He said.
I rolled my eyes and walked into the office. The lady at the front office looked at us and brought out two ice packs.
"You boys lay down and put them on were you got hit." She told us.
We nodded and lay across from each other. "So we have a truce?" He said.
"Fine but don't act as if you're my friend or anything." I told him.
He huffed but agreed.
