A/N: So, I got an anonymous review for my last chapter, telling me it was really poorly written. While I accept constructive criticism, I find the review just criticises me, instead of trying to help me improve my writing. I was just wondering if anyone else found that the previous chapter was poorly written, if so, I'd appreciate ways that I can improve it. Thank you. :)
Bella:
3rd November 2005
Me and Edward still hate each other. But now, most of the school hate me, too. The only friend I really have is Angela, and for her it's the same. I feel bad, like I'm stopping her having friends, but she told me that she never really had friends before, anyway. I never believed Edward when he said he would make the school hate me, but I guess I was wrong.
Edward would either shove me into lockers, say snide comments, or throw something at me. Wherever I went, he would find some way to embarrass me. But then, I suppose it wasn't too hard to embarrass me, as I could easily fall over, without help. Edward, however, just made things worse, and soon enough, everyone hated the new girl.
Things with the police were going ok though. They had arrested Phil, and all my questioning was done. I would still need to appear in court, when the date was set, but that's all I would have to do now. Least some things in my life were getting better, like my relationship with my father. Recently, I have felt close to him than ever before. My mother and I, however, have been getting less and less close. She has remained by Phil's side, which is going to take a long time for me to forgive her for.
Right now, I'm sat in English. The reason I'm not listening is because I've already read the book the teacher is reading to us in class, so there's really no reason. And, if I really have to, I'll re-read the section we read in class at home.
Finally, the bell has gone, and we can finally get out of this over-heated classroom. Thank. God. Just as I'm walking to my next lesson, I feel a book hit my arm. Again, I just carry on walking, hoping to deter Edward. So far, this hasn't worked.
"Nerd, do you mind not attacking my book? What did it ever do to you?" Edward asked, earning himself several giggles from the girls that seem to follow him around. Weird.
"It has your name on it." I told him, silencing the giggles.
"Now that's not very nice, is it?" Edward asked like he was talking to a 5 year old about drawing on the walls.
"Neither is throwing books at people." I said.
"Are you accusing me of something?" Edward asked, feigning shock.
"No, I'm just stating a fact. Throwing books at people is not nice." I said to him, and thanked god when I reached the door to the library. I quickly walked in, and was happy when I saw Angela was already there.
"Another debate with Masen?" Angela asked as I huffed when I sat down and threw my book on the desk. And then picked up the book, and apologised to it. It is my favourite book.
"More like argument. GRRRRRR! I hate him sooooo much!" I complained to Angela. She had got used to me being like this, and realised the only way to calm me down was to talk to me about books, and discuss our love of books. Slightly nerdy, yes. Very relaxing, hells yes.
"Let's just forget about him. He's only doing this to get a reaction out of you; you just need to ignore him!" Angela said, and I was just beginning to relax when the jerk walked through the door. Why? Why does he have to make my life hell? Why, more importantly, does he hate me?
"So, I was wondering if I could join your nerd club?" Edward asked as he walked over to us.
"No, because we don't actually have a 'club'." I told him, and kept looking down at my book, trying to focus on happier things.
"Well, can I join you in reading your books?" Edward asked again.
"Yes, why don't you go and sit on that table there, on the other side of the library." I told him.
"Oh ha ha, very funny Bella. You know, you should be a comedian when you're older." Edward said, sounding annoyed.
"Go away." I spat at him.
"No, it's a free country." Edward told me firmly.
"Ok, then I'll leave." I said, and gathered all my books and put them in my bag. Angela did the same, and then we both marched out of the door, leaving behind a shocked Edward. I didn't really know where me and Angela would go, but anywhere was better if Edward wasn't there. Idiot. Jerk. Annoying.
"Where are we going to go then?" Angela asked after we had walked around aimlessly for a few minutes.
"How about to one of the picnic tables outside? It's relatively sunny today." I suggested, so we made our way over there. It wasn't that warm, but it was warmer than most days. We found a picnic bench and spent all lunch time talking, eating and joking, and just having fun. Angela was such a good friend; I couldn't understand why no one liked her.
Unfortunately, lunch time was over, so I had to go to the hell that some people named biology. I slowly (incredibly slowly, actually) walked over to biology, trying to prolong the torture that would happen in the next hour. Sadly though, my slow walking made me have to witness a sight that very nearly made me sick.
I saw Edward, pressing; who I think was Jessica Stanley, up against the lockers, with his tongue down her throat. His hand was also up her top, and I'm pretty sure I heard her moan. Now, I was actually wishing I was in biology, so I hastily walked to biology, practically running. I got in and sat down in my seat.
I got out my book, and prayed for the teacher to come in before Edward. Luck, however, was not on my side today, and so Edward walked into the classroom proudly, and a bit cockily, might I add. Jerk.
He sat down next to me, grinning broadly. Subtle. He looked over to me, and I could just tell he was going to insult me. It was just one of those looks, you know, where you just know that the person is plotting something evil. A look Edward had plastered on his face almost constantly.
"Like what you saw?" Edward asked, grinning cheekily. I felt my cheeks heat up as I blushed. Not out of desire, but out of embarrassment for being caught, and slightly out of disgust. No way do I want Edward's tongue down my throat. No. Way.
"I don't know what you mean." I said, deciding to play stupid.
"So you're saying you didn't see me kissing Jessica Stanley? Then why the blush?" Edward said, still grinning broadly.
"Ok, I did, but it was rather disgusting, so I would rather not you do it to me." I said firmly. Damn, where was the teacher?
"How about we try it, and see if you feel the same?" Edward said cockily.
"Ewwww! No way!" I said dramatically.
"Suit yourself. Jessica appeared to enjoy herself though." Edward told me.
"I'm alright." I said to him.
"You were a bit harsh at lunch."
"You were a bit annoying at lunch." I said, mimicking him. I've learnt that he hates when you do it, so I do it when he really annoys me.
"Only because you were being harsh."
"Only because you were being annoying."
"Oh, ha, ha, very clever, Bella."
"Oh, ha, ha, very clever, Edward." I said as the teacher walked in. Edward looked pretty angry right now. He deserves it. A 'taste of his own medicine'.
Biology thankfully wasn't too bad once the teacher was here, because Edward didn't have an opportunity to say anything to me. However, at the end of the lesson, just as I was packing everything into my bag, he stole something from it. I looked through my bag to find what it was, and saw it was my old edition of Wuthering Heights. Some may say that it was sad to have that, but it was a gift from my mother when I was younger.
"Edward, give it back." I demanded. He, however, just laughed.
"I don't know what you mean." He said, trying to act innocent. He was anything but innocent.
"You know what! My book, give it back. Now." I demanded angrily, but he still didn't.
"Make me." He said, and I thought of how I could. Then, I noticed he had left his notebook on the table, so I quickly picked it up.
"Trade. Otherwise, I get to keep this, and maybe read through it." I said, smiling innocently at him. Two can play at this game.
"Ok, ok, here's your book!" Edward said quickly, shoving my book at me and snatching away his notebook.
I wonder what's in his notebook…
A/N: Anyone have any idea's what might be in Edward's notebook?
Review please :)
