Recap:

"Jasper told me,"

"Your talking to him, aren't you?!" my eyes widened along with my smile.

She blushed, "Kinda."

"Oh, then you want to me leave, huh?" I asked, folding my hands in front of my chest.

She nodded her head up and down really fast, I was starting to get dizzy, "Okay, TELL JASPER I SAID HEY!!!" I yelled the last part so I knew he would hear it.

"He says Hi, now get out, please,"

"Okay, Okay" I held my hands up,as if I was forfeiting a fight.

I wobbled my way to my room and shut the door behind me. That's the first night I dreamt of Edward Anthony Mason.


"More then a Cat fight"

Chapter 19

Bella's POV

On Sunday, Carlisle told me I would be able to take the brace from my hand, I practically kissed his feet, literally. My arm felt so free when it was let loose of its mini prison, I was able to bend my fingers and actually hold something in it without dropping it every 2 seconds. Emmett wanted to test my hand out and made, yet another bet, he told me that who ever hit a baseball the farthest from the house they would win the bet. The loser would have to strip dance entering the school a week from tomorrow.

I think you aready know... I won. Emmett was the runner, well, kinda think of it, he sucked at baseball. I ran faster then him, threw farther then him, beat his at everything, but he still made bets, wonder why?

The week before Edward moved to the neighborhood went by in a blur, I had helped them move things into their new house, but he didn't tell me it was right next door! It was as big as ours, maybe a little bigger, and Esme had helped renovate all the furniture, so me, Alice and Emmett were over at their house a lot.

Emmett had started to talk to Rosalie (no help from me) and they discovered that they had a lot in common, they both liked cars and being together. What really surprised me was when they announced they were boyfriend and girlfriend, I was shocked, they've known each other for a little less than 3 weeks and yet, they're dating, but I loved that Emmett was happy all the time. Actually, I don't think that's possible, he managed to find a way though.

Alice and Jasper were very close too. It was like they were in-sink with each other, yet they were completely different, I knew they were meant for each other. They talked all the time over the phone, and Jasper, being a nice guy, would go to the mall with Alice! He really likes her.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

The night before we went to school we had a little conference. Emmett suggested that we ride our bikes to school, but he just earned himself a shoulder slap from Rosalie and an evil glare from Alice, right off the bat, that idea was in the trash.

We didn't have a bus because we were less then a mile away from the school, so we decided that we would leave the house 30 minutes before school started to get there on time, or Esme would drive us there.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Alice! Wake up!" I said as I knocked on her bed room door, it was 5:35 A.M. We needed to wake up early so that we would be able to get really and set to go by 6:55 because school started to 7:30.

"I've been awake for half an hour," Alice admitted as she opened her bedroom door, she was in the middle of doing her make up.

"What?! You're so crazy! I don't even wake up that early to do unfinished homework!" I could barley get up now, you'd to haul my ass outta bed at 5 in the freakin morning!

"I wanna look good today,"

"Dont you look better then good everyday of of the week?"

"Yep, but I want to look real good today,"

"Cuz of Jazz?"

"You know me so well! Now if you take a shower right now, I'll be able to do your hair," I didn't even say a word and she was dragging me to my room, then she pushed me inside and shut the door. How rude?

Well there was nothing else to do so I walked over to my closet, a walk-in closet to be exact, and looked to my cloths.

I decided to dress down today, but not in sweats, what would Edward think of me? Wait! Why do I care all of a sudden?

"Ugh!" I moaned to myself and grabbed a blue Hollister t-shirt and some loose fitting jeans, I missed my skinny jeans, but they dot fit because of the freakin' brace.

I made my way to the bathroom, and on my way I saw a handsome Emmett, "Some one looks dolled up today," I teased as I passed him.

He looked at from the mirror reflection and turned around, "I look good?" his eyes looking a little concerned.

"Yeah, you're the handsomest wrestler in the school, why you dressed up though?" Wait! I know, "Rose?"

"Wow, can you read minds or something?"

"Nope," then I turned around toward the bathroom, "Wish I could." I grumble to myself and took a shower.

I was surprised when Alice did actually get a chance to do my hair, and again, she begged me to let her do my make-up, but like last time, I refused. I just put on some lip gloss and walked into the kitchen.

I grabbed a granola bar like any weekday and sat at the granite Island in the middle of the kitchen, all of a sudden there was a knock at the door. I took out m self phone and checked the time, 6:50. Must be the guys and Rosalie.

I jumped off the stool, grabbed my crutches and opened the front door, Jasper and Edward were in the front, Rose standing, impatiently almost, behind them. Jasper said a 'Hey' and walked in the house, Edward said a 'Hello' and followed him, then came the Rose. She stalked right passed me and gave me a glare. What did I do to her?! Please! Someone explain to me!!!

Alice and Emmett came around the corner as I sat down in the empty love seat, they were greeted with a kiss on the check by their couple and we began to walk toward school.

We explained every thing to them: The School Bitches a.k.a. Jessica and Lauren; The School Teachers, Emmett brung a year book from last year; and the other people, the geeks, nerds, populars, cheerleaders ect.

We had arrived to school a couple minutes early so Edward, Jazz, and Rosalie had time to get their shcedules and be able to get to class. Edward had all his classes with me, which was kinda weird, but I would probably end up showing him around, so that was good.

Then we were off to first period: Science.

"I'll go tell Ms. Knokavic you're new, come on," I grabbed his hand, not thinking and pulled him behind me and to the teacher.

"Ms. Knokavic? Edward's new here," she looked up from her computer and stared at him.

"Uh, I'm Edward Mason,"

"Oh, yes. Take a seat any where in the back," she told him, then turned her glare back to the computer monitor. Jeez, what does she have on that screen?

"Hey, Edward, you can sit by me and Angela," I, again, grabbed his hand and led him to the back. I sat in the back row and the desk to the right of me was empty so he placed his stuff on the floor and took a seat.

Angela has been my friend since like 5th grade, we instantly connected, and talked all the time during school. We used to sit together at lunch, but when she fell for a guy named Ben, she started to sit with him, which was perfect for me since I always sat with Alice and Em.

"So..." Edward began.

"So...?"

"Uh, does she always stare at her computer?"

"Yep, all she does is tell us to copy notes and lets us talk when we want to. I honestly think she's a bad teacher,"

"Oh," Then the bell rang and the room filled with the rest of the class, the girls practically threw themselves over each other to introduce themselves to Edward, I just rolled my eyes and looked forwards towards Mrs. K who started to put notes up of the over head.

"Everyone! Please! Calm yourselves down! Take a seat or I'll write you up!" After she said that everyone that had formed a group around Edward had dispersed and jumped into their seats.

The period was spent writing notes and talking, like every other day, then the bells rang, signaling the end of first.

"That went well," I teased, walking with Edward to second period: Social Studies.

I walked up to Mr. Miller and Edward introduced himself to teacher, Mr. Miller had to run aren for half the period, so soon after he dashed threw the class door.

We sat together in the back, like in the last class. Emmett was in this class with me too, so I sat in between him and Ed.

Even though Emmett made this class hilarious, there always had to be one kid that ruined all the fun, and in this class it was the Bitch: Lauren.

Right on que, the bimbo came strutin' her dirty junk in the class room, and sat in the front. Then she took out her nail filer, added another piece of gum to the already huge one in her mouth and crossed her legs. She was chewing like a cow! Ugh! I really hate her, she was always so stuck up and mean, rude, selfish, and lets not forget, so full of herself! One day I'm going to punch her in the face if she says 'like' more then four times in every sentence.

She was checking her make-up when she suddenly stopped and turned around, "You?!"

Edward just slide closer to me as if I was his cover or something, then Lauren was doing this horrible cat walk-thing and was coming our way.

"I never got the call, I was so excited on hearing your voice again," Eww, that seductive grandma voice.

"You know her?" I asked Edward.

"No," he shook his head back and forth, still pushing his seat nearer to mine.

"Of, course you do! Remember at the mall?! I gave you my number and you didn't call," She was so close to Edward now, I think she was rubbing his arm!

I relaxed when he shook it off, Lauren just giggled and grabbed his hand, and again, I let out a gush of air when he wiggled his hand free and under his desk.

"Take a clue, bimbo. He doesn't like you," Emmett stood up for him.

"Who does?" I said, siding with Emmett.

"Stay the hell out of this, you brat." Nuh uh! She didn't just call me a brat!, "Come on, sit with me in the front,"

"Leave him alone, you stupid, constipated retard!" I hissed, my fist clenched onto the desk so I wouldn't do anything I might regret.

"Calm down Bells," Emmett whispered, he knew I hated when people called me a brat.

"Go back to Phoenix, you don't belong here," I was so close to punching her right now.

"Why don't you swing your way back to the African jungles, you monkey?!" I had to defended myself, no one was going to hurt me like Charlie, physically or emotionally.

"Shut the fuck up, you dirty brat!" That's it!

I stood up, and pushed my seat back toward Emmett, "Say it one more time, you dirty hoe, watch what happens," I threatened, cracking my knuckles.

"Bella, calm down, she's not worth it," Edward said, grabbing my hand trying to get me back into my seat, but I didn't budge.

"Sit your ass down, you won't do anything. You're just a weak, meaningless brat," Lauren spat at me. Then she had the nerve to turn to Edward, "Come on pretty boy,"

"Do not call him Pretty Boy or any of your bimbo names, so back the hell off and stay away from him!"

"He's not yours. I have every right to have him, and if I want to call him mine, well," she shrugged, her fake Coach purse sliding down to her elbow, "he's mine,"

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no," I chuckled, she sounded so stupid," You listen to me, you and your stupid posse, what ever the hell you call your little prostitute gang over there," I swatted my hand towards the group of people that were starting to form around us, "will stay away from him and me, my whole family for that matter,"

"Oh, puh-leaz! Now you're sticking up for your family?!"

"I suggest you sit down, Lauren. Bella will kick your candy ass," Emmett said, standing up.

"Please sit down, bro. I got this,"

"But..."

"Sit." I demanded. He reluctantly sat down, but kept a close eye on me.

"Why don't you go cry to your daddy? Or your mom?"

"Cuz I dont have them!" I growled, "You mutha freakin' hoe," it wasn't like me to cuss so much in one day, but Lauren was bring out my ugly side, "you are standing on a thin piece of wire!" She was getting me so mad, I could feel the heat rising to my face.

"Hit me, I dare you!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" the class chanted, except for Emmett and Edward who were sitting behind me.

"You shouldn't of said that," I snarled, and I did.

I raised my hand and made contact with her face, hard. My hand punched her square in the nose, I actually heard her nose make a crunch sound, like when you stomp on a cockroach. She stumbled back a few steps and the class roared with the students amusement, Lauren gasped and caught hold of her nose. She started to come towards me.

Now she was evng my personal space, "Look what you did!" She pointed to bleeding nose, "You broke my nose!" She spat. Then she tried to look intimidating and put her face right in front mine. Yeah, like I'm frightened of the Bimbo.

"It was fake anyway," I shrugged, "Get a new one,"

When I said that she snapped, she started to claw her manicured nails into my right arm, but I felt nothing. Charlie had burned me in the exact spot she was scratching now, I didn't even flinch when I saw spots of blood uzzing from my skin.

"Watch this Emmett!" I said, then did one of his wrestling moves.

I had enough of Laurens little cat fight, so I grabbed her left hand, wound it around and to her back, pinning her to the ground, "Mess with me one more time, I'll destroy more than your nose," I told her, loud enough for her and the rest of the class room to hear.

There was around of applause and Emmett helped me up, everyone took there seats when we heard foot steps coming down the hall even Lauren. Then the door swung open, Mr. Miller came whistling through the door and happened to see Lauren's nose bleeding.

"What happened?" he asked, looking around that his students.

"It was all Bella's fault! I want her suspended!" Lauren boomed.

"Why, Lauren! What are you talking about? Dont you remember, you tripped over your own two feet? Why don't you go to the nurse and get your nose fixed?" I asked innocently, smiling at her.

"You little! Mr. Miller! She punched my nose! Then she had me against the ground!"

"Lauren, you need help. How could I ever manage to pin you to the ground with my broken leg? Why would I even touch you?"

"Look at her hand! It has my blood on it!"

I looked down and saw that my hand did have some blood on them, crap.

"I helped you up when you fell, Lauren," I looked over at Emmett for support.

"Yeah! I saw Lauren trip by Bella's seat, and Bella, nice and she is, helped her up," he smiled at the end of his sentence.

"Yep! We all saw her help Lauren up!" Ben, one of my class mates defended.

There was a chorus of 'Mmmhm's' and 'Uh huh's' around the room, I looked over at Edward and he was staring at me, smiling.

"Right, Edward?"

"Yes, Bella would never harm a fly,"

"Okay, then. Lauren, head to the nurse and get something to stop your nose form bleeding any longer," Mr. Miller fell for it?!

"But!" She protested.

"No, Lauren, go now,"

Mr. Miller helped her into the hall way and to one of the security guards that was outside the room. The moment the teacher stepped out of the room, everyone ran over to me and started talking about how cool I looked and I was so brave to punch Lauren Mallory in the face. I smiled triumfetly and started to work when the teacher came back.

This was going to be an interesting day.

And it was. Everyone in the hall would all of a sudden pat my back or high five me, the Bimbos stayed as far away from me and Edward. Atleashey knew I wasn't afraid of hurting them if they got closer to Edward.

At lunch Emmett told everyone everything that had happened, every single detail. I was surprised, I punched one of the schools biggest bitches! Me! Isabella Marie Swan-Cullen!

The rest of the day went without incident, everyone was happy with me what I had done, but after I did think bout what I had done, I kind of guilty. But who cares? I sure as hell dont.

Esme picked us up from school because it was raining, and drove us home in the cozy Jeep. We all did homework together, we were in the same t-set so all our teachers were the same and we all had the same homework. Then it was time to go to sleep, I was so tired, exhausted actually, that literally when my body touched the the warm covers on my bed, I fell into the most wonderful sleep, I dreamt of hitting Lauren over and over again.

I don't think I'll be able to forget Lauren's face when she was holding onto her fake nose for dear life.


I LOVED writing this chapter! Did any of you even think that Bella would get into a fight with Lauren? Well there you have it!

I know Bella was out of character, way out of character in this chapter, but that's the Bella in my story, Sweet and Innocent, but at the same time Strong and Powerful.

Please review!!! I love them! BYE!!! =]

P.S. My key board is like spasming and I'm sorry if some words are missing, stupid key board!!! =]
