"How could you do that, Edward?" Rosalie shrieked at me.
"What are you referring to?" I asked innocently.
"How could you interfere like that? Stay away from the human girl! We'd all be better off without the human brat! She'd ruin us if she knew! Showing up at the exact moment that she's in a bit of trouble is a bit conspicuous, don't you think?"
"She is not a brat. She was in trouble. You can't expect me to do nothing." I said quietly.
"She's not one of us! And yes, that's exactly what I expect! That's what we all expect! Just leave her alone!"
Rosalie glared at me and walked out. Alice and Emmett were by my side in an instant.
"Thanks, Alice." I muttered.
"What for?"
"For telling the whole family about every aspect of my life."
"Oh, no problem."
I glared at her. Emmett laughed.
"So when are you going to ask her out?" Emmett asked.
"Never."
"Why not?"
"First she's human, secondly, I don't like her."
"Stop kidding yourself,
bro. Jasper feels it all the time. Repulsion, love, regret, jealousy,
anger… Face it, you wish that you could have been Newton."
"I
think Jasper's powers must be wearing off." I commented.
Alice glared at me this time.
"Whatever. Let's leave him to fantasise about his food." Emmett rolled his eyes.
I growled while Emmett ushered Alice out of the room. This was absurd. I wasn't in love with Bella Swan. That was sick and repulsive and made complete sense.

Bella really was an idiot. Maybe I should start hitting on Jessica or something to make her jealous. Oh, that would be great fun. Eric and Tyler were impressed that I had made out with Bella. That's what I said, anyway. I also said that I broke up with her. They were envious and thought that I was insane. Ah, and here was miss Stanley now. I walked over to her.
"Hey, Jess." I smiled at her.
"Hi Mike." She looked flustered.
"Wanna go out with me?"
"Of course!" she shrieked and then ran away.
Probably to go tell Bella. Now all I had to do was sit back and watch the fun. Meanwhile, I could go kill Cullen.

His thoughts disgusted me. How could he treat Bella like that? Even treating Jessica that way was wrong. And here he came, walking towards me. Was this the vision Alice had seen? Was Mike going to 'beat me up'? I snorted. But how could I manage this? Self-control could only be pushed so far. How could I not kill him? As much as I hated myself for it, I had to not fight him.
Newton came closer, until we were standing virtually nose to nose. His scent was nowhere near as appealing as Bella's but still enough for me to stop breathing. I wasn't used to humans being this close.
"You screwed things up between me and Bella." He growled at me.
Ironic, usually it was me who was doing the growling.
"You screwed things up yourself." I said coldly.
"How the hell would you know?"
"I have my sources."
"You cost me my girlfriend."
"As if you actually loved her."
"How would you know that?"
"It's obvious… I've overheard things. You talking to Eric and Tyler…It's rather repulsive."
"You better watch your back, Cullen."
It was very heard not to laugh or roll my eyes. As if he could even punch me without breaking his hand. I sort of hoped that he would try, just to see him in pain.
"I don't think I need to." I said smoothly.
I walked away, leaving him fuming. This was getting rather amusing.
