Chapter 3 - Posessive.

"Settle down class, you too, Rebels. This is an announcement for everyone." The teacher spoke loudly in front of the class, her screeching voice bringing our conversations to a halt. Emmett and Alice shot me curious glances but all I could do was shrug. I didn't know what was going on either. The teacher grabbed her, flipped through a few pages before snapping it shut and cleared her throat before talking.

"We have a new student joining us today. We are close to the halfway mark into the year but it seems like principal Aro made an exception.. " A couple students let out snickers. Aro was young for a principal and they knew how carefree he was sometimes and allowed such silly things, like this, to happen even though it causes the teachers more work.

"Come into the class boy, and introduce yourself." The said teen, walked in and stood up in front of the class. He had black hair that was jelled back, tanned skin, and his clothes were neat. My eyes widened and I felt my heart pick it's pace a bit. From the corner of my eye, I could see Edward eyeing my reaction to the new guy.

"What's up?" He said, winking. Females, both Rebels and Perfects, squealed with delight. "I'm Jacob Black and, uhh, yeah." He grinned and I couldn't help but let my own grin surface.

"Jacob Black, come here this moment!" I stood and pointed to the spot in front of me. Emmett was whistling while Alice was practically bouncing in her chair. Jacob kept his silly grin on as he strolled casually to stand in front of me. Swiftly, I pulled his shift out from his pants, popped two buttons, loosened his tie and messed up his hair until it became shaggy.

"Whoa! Easy Bella, you could have waited until we somewhere more private." I couldn't help but laugh and bring him into a hug. Alice jumped out of her seat and hugged Jacob from behind while Emmett gave him a couple pats on the back. I felt as if someone was burning holes on the side of my face and turned my head slightly. If I wasn't hugging Jacob, I was sure I would have fell over. Edward was giving off a death glare, worse than the incident with Mike two days ago. His upper lip was lifted on the side in the sneer and I bet if he wanted to, he would growl this displeasure. I suddenly wanted to get mad. Jacob was only a good childhood friend of mine, ours. He doesn't have to get so.. jealous.

---

Jacob Black had been childhood friends with Alice and myself. Half way through junior high, he had to move away because his father was extremely superstitious and believed that some vixen was going to put his son in a trance and take him away, or something along those lines. So they moved to some hick town and we tried to email each other at least three times a week. So his entrance here was a complete surprise. It turns out he forced his dad to move back here. I didn't even want to think about what he said, I was just so happy he's back.

"So Jacob, how did you find out we attended here?" I asked before biting into my burger. Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, Jacob and myself sat at our usual lunch booth. The topic of the day had been a shock to everything. Two rebels in one weeks. The Perfects were not happy. Especially their leader.

"Well when you mailed me, you never said anything about moving so I assumed you lived in the same house and I was right. I asked your dad which school you went to but I was surprised to see him there, looking so.. healthy. The last time I saw him, which was long ago, he looked like he was ready to croak any moment." I let out a nervous laugh, also remembering how Charlie looked back then. Leave it to Jacob for being so blunt.

"Yeah. The hospital let us off easy and said we didn't have to pay for an operation. They also said we didn't need to pay for his medication so that's why he's doing much better."

"That's good to hear. My dad has been itching to go fishing with Charlie again." He took a big chunk out of his chicken burger and had this thoughtful look on his face before swallowing and speaking again. "Volturi Academy school. For the rich and gifted.. yeah, it's a weird school, Bella. Why pick here to get your education?"

"Well our family isn't poor but we're not rich either. Just middle class. Gifted kids come here for free because the principal wants this school to look good with all the smart kids. The rich kids come here to get the brains the Rebels have but they have to pay. I came because my true intention was to get a education, get a well paying job and pay for Charlies operation."

"Ah. But now that's cleared up you still attend." I nodded.

"Why quit now? I'm in, I'm settled. If I go to a regular school, I wouldn't be learning everything since, you know, I pushed my ass to get the best grades."

"Yeah, I remember that. Endless studying, never going on dates. You were pretty boring."

"Gee, thanks." He laughed while messing up my hair.

"Another question. This school is insane. And not in a good way. Perfect and Rebel?"

"Ah, yes. To make a long story short, a long time ago a rich person pissed off a person with brains, boom, they split up. The riches all themselves Perfect because of all the money they have. The brains called themselves Rebel because they didn't have to attend classes. But we attend our homeroom when the teacher makes us a weekly booklet, which is pretty hard. Other classes, we attend if we want but we already know the stuff so we just hang out in the halls but the bathrooms are the popular spot. Perfects have to attend every class. Did you know since this whole war started, they gave the Perfects and Rebels separate bathrooms?" He snorted and shook his head.

"Unbelievable."

"Believe it, buddy. And you're actually pretty handsome now, Jacob. I remember you used to be so scrawny! Don't be surprised when girls, even Perfect girls, eye you, woo you, flirt with you." another snort but he puffed out his chest.

"Handsome, huh?" The table broke broke out into snickers before Alice dragged us into a conversation on a different topic. Everything seemed to perfect now. Rosalie was sitting closer to Emmett then normal. Emmett looked more happy than gay, Alice was shining brightly, as always, and now Jacob was here to complete the circle. It only seemed perfect. But I knew it wasn't like that when a strong hand gripped my shoulder. Warily, I shifted away from Jacob and looked up. Alice and the others had stopped talking to check out my visitor.

"Hello, Swan." His voice was icy which almost made me shiver visibly but I held and greeted him back.

"Edward."

"Yo, I'm Jacob. This is Alice, Emmett and Rosalie. What can we do for you?" Turning quickly, I saw a lopsided smile on Jacobs face. Fear flashed through my eyes but I turned back to Edward before anyone could notice.

"I'm just here to pick up Bella for our weekly talks since she skipped on me this morning. Come on, Bella." His voice was clam, smooth sounding but underneath it all, it sounded like razor sharp blades. I stood and followed behind him, making sure to put up a show and keep my distance. From behind, I could hear Jacob ask a question.

"Weekly talks? He looks like a Perfects dude." Alice was the one to respond.

"It's been going on for a couple months. He made it clear that no Rebel girls were to enter the bathroom in the morning so he can have meetings with Bella. See, Bella is the leader of the Rebels. Edward there, is the leader of the Perfects. Bella told us they were tyring to think up a way to end this war. But she did skip out this morning so he's probably not happy. Everyone is used to it. But the Perfects still seem uneasy with it. It's rumoured, on their side, that Bella seduced him. Ha! If anything, he would probably seduce her if she wanted to."

My face flushed. I felt horrible for lying to them. I wanted to tell them all but knew Edward would end Charlie's treatment and violate me even more. He didn't even flinch at what Alice said but kept a proud stride. When we entered the bathroom, Edward barked for the girls to 'get the hell out' before he cornered me into a stall, locking the door behind him. His hands were instantly on my breasts, squeezing through the clothed material. His mouth found mine and I didn't resist when his tongue probed for an opening. Soon my body was hot and Edward had his hand leave my breast and travel lower. Instantly, I pushed him away. He growled.

"You're pushing me away? Is it because of that new guy? Is he your boyfriend?"

"No!"

"Then why? You don't want to do this anymore?"

"N-" I stopped, shocking him and me both. Did I want this whole thing to continue? Do I really like it when he embraces me, makes me feel loved and wanted? I ignored the question.

"No sex until next week, please."

"But you want to continue this, don't you?" Ignore it!

"Edward. None until Monday."

"And why should I listen to you? You know this is your payment to me for those medical bills, right? They aren't exactly cheap."

"I know. And they are cheap to you. A year of Charlie's medical bills isn't even a dent in your wallet."

"Okay, then why are you saying 'no' now?"

"Well, if you want to shove your dick up some bloody hole, go for you. But you're going to clean up afterwards." He recoiled, grossed out.

"Your on it?"

"I'm on my bloody period." He visibly shivered and shook his head.

"You should call up on of your Perfect girls to give you your release now. My downstairs is busy." He flipped the toilet lid down and sat on top of it. He patted his lap and I rose a single brow before sitting down. His arms wrapped around me and hugged me close.

"Do you really want me to do that? Get some girl after you leave and bang her senseless?" He waited for my response but I bit down on my tongue, lightly. I wanted so much to say 'no' but my pride as the Rebel Leader refused it. Instead, I switched it around so it would seem like a 'no'.

"All I'm asking is for you to wait until Monday. I'll do it with you then." I looked over to his face, noticing how close it was. He looked thoughtful for a moment before giving a slight nod.

"I'll wait then."

"Okay. Now, can I go back to lunch since there's nothing here to do?"

"Heh, just because I can't screw you senseless into the stall wall doesn't mean I want to let you go just yet. Just let me hold you for awhile."

And that's all he did. Sort of. He held me tightly while using his fingers to trace unknown pictures on my arm and back. He would nuzzle me, kiss, nibble and suck my neck and he would gain a couple low moans from me. This whole situation was so sweet, it almost gave me cavities. I never knew he could be this gentle. It all went by fast and in no time, the bell rang loudly. Sighing, I stood and he let go but latched onto my hand. I stared down at him questionably.

"What is that Jacob guy to you?" His eyes burned intensely while asking, I tried to do everything but melt on the spot.

"He's just a childhood friend. Nothing more, nothing less." I don't know why I was reassuring him but the relaxed look on his face was worth it in the end.

"Can I go now?"

"Another question. How is Rosalie doing? It's been two, three days since she switched?"

"She's doing great. She's already popular among us and she isn't the "Ice-Queen" we thought she was. Stupid Perfects rumours, last time I ever listen to them. But yeah, she's doing good here. And she's getting pretty close to Emmett." I winked at him and he groaned.

"No wonder why she seems so happy at home lately. She's been taking longer showers, singing and when she walks it's almost like she's.. dancing. It's kind of creepy."

"Ah, love at first site." He looked pretty cute when he worried about his cousin. He wasn't such a bad guy after all.

"Another thing, I have another cousin that's going to enroll here on Friday."

"Wow, another Cullen that's coming in two days. Just can't get enough of 'em. And you're telling me this because.. ?"

"He's a womanizer. He probably won't care much about the difference between the Perfects and Rebels, woman are woman to him. But once he's done with the girl, he'll probably go on about how he wouldn't let his pride as a Perfect go so low as to going out with her and throw her away. I already told him of the situation between the Perfects and Rebels and he finds the whole situation hilarious."

"Ooh, so you're telling me this because you won't want me to fall into his clutches, huh?" He jerked his head to the side stubbornly, not wanting to admit it but the light blush on his cheeks tells all. I let out a small giggle and unlocked the door.

"Well it was very nice talking to you, Mr. Edward Cullen, but I believe you are late for your afternoon class and there are probably girls waiting outside to get in here." He glanced at his watch and swore. I went out of the stall first and he followed, our hands still linked. He took me into another heated kiss before heading out. Seconds later, girls, Emmett and Jacob came in. Girls squealed and screamed until Emmett calmed them down, saying that Jacob was just like him. Almost. The girls broke out into giggles and turned to me.

"Any progress on bringing peace to this school?" A random girl asked and all eyes focused on me. I shook my head.

"Not much, again. But he did tell me his cousin was coming in two days." The girls whispered among themselves while Rosalie groaned. They turned their attention to her and I was glad.

"I forgot about him. Our cousin, Jasper, will be coming on Friday. Of course, he's going to attend here."

"What does he look like?" Another random girl asked.

"Please, ladies! Whatever you do, do not fall for him. He'll use you and through a away. A womanizer." The girls huffed out in anger and began discussing Jasper Cullen. But I knew what was really on their minds. If Edward and Rosalie was beautiful, it must meant all Cullen's were, and this Jasper person was probably no exception. It'll pain me to see any of the Rebel girls fall for a Perfect guy, because that guy will just turn them away in the end. And she'll come back to her original side, hoping to take her back but we won't. We'll shun her until she quits this school. I hate doing it but we have to keep our pride high and strong if we want to bring this war to an end. And the Perfects are not making it easy.

"Hey' let's share our most embarrassing sex stories!" A girl with bleach blond hair suggested. I always looked forward to the daily random conversations in the girls bathroom but I always wanted to avoid one such as this.

"Bella, you go first."

"Uhm.. " I felt someones hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see who it was. Jacob. He was staring down into my eyes with such a heated stare, his face serious. Oh no.. please don't say he likes..

"Girls! And guys. Settle down, Bella is a virgin. I would know, she comes to tell me about everything that goes on in her life." Alice spoke and did an unlady like snort. That alone made me want to cry. I knew I had to tell her. I had to tell her what was going on with Edward and me. If I don't, it'll eat me alive, slowly. I felt Jacobs hold on me relax.

"Okay, fine. Emmett, tell us yours. You're a stud, I'm sure you been with a lot of the girls. Or guys." Everyone stared at Emmett, including Rosalie but she had more of a worried look mixed with fear.

"Okay, settle down, I'll tell you one." The girls squealed in delight while Rosalie looked down, defeated.

"It was full of friction and heat. I lapped up the feeling of skin against skin. Up and down over and over again, and I was moaning like a whore. I reached my peak and gave a whimpering cry, then shuddered and nearly collapsed with please. Then I wiped my hand with kleenex and turned off the computer." It was deadly silent for a couple seconds before we broke out into laughter. Even Rosalie had covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing.. or worrying over nothing. I wasn't sure.

The rest of the afternoon went on about embarrassing stories ranging from sex to slipping in front of cute guys. When the final bell rang, we all rushed out to go to our lockers, gather our stuff and head home. Jacob was stuck to me like glue. Just like when we were little before he moved. He often got teased for being a string bean so I had to defend him. The most the guys could call me was "Butch" because they couldn't hurt me so they stuck to name calling. But Jacob was like a black lab, it was kind of cute in it's own messed up way.

After slamming my locker shut, Jacob, Alice and myself walked out, talking about random things. Jacob told us that he lived a few blocks away from us now. It seems that Billy, his dad, wanted to visit Charlie more. Jacob also said that this will give him the chance to catch up with us. Or me. I had a feeling it was just me. We almost got passed the gates but a strong hand grabbed my wrist and stopped me from reaching my freedom. There is only one.. well, two now, people I know who would do that.

"Edward, school is over and we already had the meeting. No progress, nothing more to talk about." I turned to come face to face with a irritated Edward. But his gaze was on Jacob.

"Why are you going home with him?" He jerked his head in Jacobs direction.

"Why is that any of your business, Perfect?" Jacob shot back, obviously offended.

"Enough, children." Alice chirped, trying to ease the thick tension in the air.

"Jacob just lives close by, that's all. So obviously we'll all be heading in the same direction, can't help it. And as I told you before. He's-"

"I'm her boyfriend."

From the first time I encountered Edward, I have not felt complete fear. He had shown me angry and mad expressions but I have never feared him because I knew he wouldn't hurt me, in any way unless it was by accident. But right at this moment, I feared for myself and Charlie. Edward wore an expressionless mask which was worse then having any emotion. If he showed some, I know he would be mad but when he showed me nothing, it meant there was a lot more going on underneath. Proof? His grip on my wrist. I didn't pull back, it didn't hurt me as much as his expression did.

"Hey, let go of her wrist!" I saw Jacob slap at his hand and Edward let but but made a fist. I knew that if Jacob was in front of me and not beside me, Edward would surely beat his ass. I felt Jacob's hands rest on my hips and gave a light squeeze. I wanted to push him away and tell him to never touch me again. But I was frozen under Edwards cold, emotionless eyes. When he saw the gesture Jacob did, I swore I saw him flinch, his mask breaking for a split second but replaced quickly. He just turned around and headed towards to the parking lot for his BMW.

"Jeeze, what's his problem?" Jacob wondered out loud, his hands still resting on me. I turned to Alice and she gasped.

"Bella, you're crying.. "

"Eh?" I rubbed one of my eyes and felt the wetness. She was right.

"Oh Bella, did he really grab your wrist that hard? Did he hurt you anywhere else while you were in the bathroom with him?" She hugged me tightly. I reached up and grabbed the fabric of my shirt over my heart and clenched tightly. It hurt a lot right here.
