DISCLAIMER: until me and my vampire army take over the world, i do not own twilight...yet insert evil laugh here
It was a long night
Since my room is right next to Alice's, I had to listen to Jasper 'convincing' Alice of what really happened after rehearsal. I would have to talk to Jasper about his and my sister's relationship. Even though Alice was a senior, and I was a junior, I still thought of her as my baby sister, and it was rather unnerving how quickly their relationship progressed.
The next day, walking into school, I prepared myself for the worst. It was odd. I expected the pointing and whispering I received, but I didn't expect all the laughing. I was confused, until I reached my locker. Someone and I had a vague idea who, had spray painted on my locker with what has grown to be my least favorite word in the world:
FAG
I couldn't say I was surprised. I was actually expecting something much worse. I knew that I had to go let the Janitor know, so that he could come and scrub it off my locker. Unfortunately, I had to walk past the entire football team on my way to the supply closet.
It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, though. Jasper was apparently telling the guys on the team some big news, because they all looked shocked. Appalled, actually. Only Emmett, the team's latest linebacker, looked happy about whatever it was. I had just walked past them, when I heard Jasper say
"Oh! One second, guys, I just have to talk to someone about something, hey! Edward! Wait up!" Naturally, Jasper's teammates were disgusted that he was going to talk to me.
"Hello, Jasper, what is it?" we had stopped in the middle of the hallway, and the whole football team was watching us
"Ok, Edward, you know how serious me and your sister have gotten, right?"
"Of course I know Jasper, I share a wall with her" The football team all started smiling and nudging each other. Pigs.
"Yeah..." Jasper said sheepishly "well, I just wanted to talk to you about this before I asked Alice, but...I'm going to ask her to marry me"
"Oh..." that explained why the team looked so shocked. I could hear them talking amongst themselves.
"Idiot..."
"He is being really stupid..."
"Maybe he just feels guilty for shacking up with her so much..."
"Although, according to what he says, it might just be worth it..."
"Definitely, apparently that Alice chick is pretty freaky..."
"Hot body too..."
"I wouldn't kick her out of bed..."
"Remember that time he told us about?"
"The time last week?"
"No, two months ago..."
"Oh! You mean when they used the fuzzy..."
That was it. My breaking point. How dare he talk about my sister like that!? And to those Neanderthals? Sullying my sister's good name! So I snapped, and did what I always do in these kinds of situations.
I punched that Jackass in the jaw.
Which of course, being the jock that he is, he had to respond. It was a bedlam of punching, and kicking, and yelling, until I heard my sister's voice, yelling out over us.
"STOP!" Jasper and I both stopped and looked up. Alice was looking down on us, and she was pissed.
"You...IDIOTS! What do you think you are doing? What could possibly be important enough to fight about on school property? You could get suspended! Or EXPELLED!"
That's when I saw Bella; she had come up behind Alice and had her hand on her shoulder. "Alice, you should calm down. I saw the whole thing, and...Edward was kind of provoked."
Alice turned around "I don't like what you are insinuating about my boyfriend...Bella"
"I'm not insinuating anything, Alice, but maybe you should wait until you hear the whole story, I mean, Jasper was being kind of a...well, a dick."
Apparently, that was Alice's breaking point, because that was when she slapped Bella.
"CATFIGHT!" a voice yelled out above the crowd. I'd bet my college fund it was Newton. So the girls started fighting, as only girls can, slapping, scratching, biting and hair pulling. It wasn't pretty. I and Jasper went to break it up. I pulled Bella away, as Jasper did the same with Alice
"SLAG!" that was Alice
"SLUT!" Bella
"WHORE!" Alice
"BITCH!" Bella
"FAG-HAG!" That was my sister, calling the girl of my dreams a fag-hag. Thank god that the principal interrupted just then.
"WHITLOCK! SWAN! AND BOTH CULLENS! GET TO MY OFFICE NOW!" Ok, maybe it wasn't that great...
I couldn't believe my luck! The idiotic principal actually thought that detention with Bella was a punishment for me! We were even getting the whole detention room to ourselves. He was sticking Jasper and Alice into a separate classroom, something about splitting up the rebel-rousers. Stupid old man.
So the school day wore on. More people pointing and staring at me, but I was used to that. I couldn't stop myself from worrying about how Bella was doing. I may be used to the attention, but Bella was very shy. I went off-campus for lunch, I knew Bella wouldn't want to be talking to me right now anyway, and there was no one else worth going to the Cafeteria to talk to.
Finally my favorite block of the day arrived. Biology. Unfortunately, Bella and I couldn't talk. We were watching another video. You would think that with all the money this school spent on media each year, maybe they could actually afford to hire teachers who didn't need to use videos.
And then, the end of the day arrived. Room 104. The detention room. I walked in and was the first person there, so I sat down in the center of the room. In one of the only two desks, side by side. Bella walked in. I was thrilled I could finally talk to her. She sat down beside me. Bless the person who decided to put the desks beside each other. I turned to her.
"Hey"
"Hello" she said
AN- :O mini-cliffie (kinda) ok, oodles of thank yous go out to my reviewers from last chap:
xAtropos, bloodsucker13, tinkscute,sar-star, Kornymunky, evasivelove, and Reaching Out
and to my wonderful beta (and constant annoyance): Xo-ILoveEdward-oX
who has her own note (which i totally forced her to write):
Beta note: Not too many mistakes. (Does any one believe me? Cause I
'm not lying.) I loved this chapter way to much for my own good. I became even more of an insomniac editing. (I edited this at like 1AM.) I love, love, love this chapter. Edward and Bella gonna patch things up? Only Lucy knows!
so, thats it, and again, sorry for it being so short. i jsut promised myself that no chapter would ever be shorter then 1000 words, and this is 1,031 words, so im off teh hook. i promsie that the talk they are about to have will be nice and long.
