Bad to the Bones
Chapter 12
Edward was looking at me with a great deal of anger in it. He crossed his arms in front of his chest. His eyes were narrowed for a bit, the so beautiful colour of green became by the second darker. I didn't have any idea what he was thinking. The emotions were flowing around his face. I always found it hard to read him. I didn't know what to do or to say. There was a great change that I would make it worse by saying anything. So I just kept quiet. Edward was looking at me; he was trying to control his anger. For a few seconds he just stood there before he stormed out of the room.
"Get out of the room, right now." He yelled harshly.
Edward was still at me. For some part I understood. I had been looking through his stuff but he still overreacted. Edward was just a guy who –in my eyes– was a person that had a huge emotional damage. Some parts in me felt bad for him. He wasn't that bad guy he pretends to be. That was just a mask that was stuck on his face. It just worried me that it maybe wasn't going to ever let go.
"Are you still not going to talk to me?" Edward didn't look up to me. His eyes were on the road and they weren't leaving it. I sighed and gave up for that moment.
"Don't you even know that you are being very irresponsible?" A bit out of shock I looked down.
"What?" It was the only thing that came out of my mouth.
When we arrived at school everything seemed normal. Nobody dared to look at us; they were all too scared to even look at one of us. Very soon after that Alec, Victoria and Alec's friends came walking up to us. I was talking to Alec but Edward wasn't paying much attention to one of us.
"What are you doing here Victoria?" Edward asked out of nowhere in a roughly way. I knew that he didn't like her but he didn't have to show it to her like that.
"Well I thought it is nice to spend some more time with Alec and you guys, and maybe with Bella. So I transferred from Seattle." Edward's eyes narrowed.
"No, you are not going to spend any time with Bella." In that one second Victoria's mood changed from good to bad. We all saw it; Alec intently wrapped his arms around her waist. Alec was defiantly not glad with how Edward reacted.
"What are you doing Edward?" Alec asked carefully.
"Leaving." It was hissed through Edward's teeth. He grabbed my arm and dragged me along with him.
"What the hell was that?" I asked indignantly. He didn't answer instead he walked me to my class and left.
That day really didn't seem to ever end. My classes were boring and every class Victoria and I had together, Edward made sure that someone was sitting next to me. The first who sat next to me was Jessica. The way how I would describe our conversation was awkward. She was only talking about Edward and that went on and on. If you ask my opinion, she was very obsessed with him. But who will say I am right.
"Bella." The most awful voice yelled into my ear. A shiver went down along my back.
"Lauren, what are you doing?" I asked when she sat down next to me. My voice sounded husky out of surprise.
"Edward asked me if I wanted to sit next to you, because you are like a sister to him. But the main reason is because he promised me a date." Her smile was huge.
"You know how special that is? Edward has never asked a girl out." I put on a fake smile.
"I am glad." For a few seconds Lauren looked around the classroom.
"Well Bella, I don't ask this question many times. Would you like to join me and my friends for lunch tomorrow?" Wow, did queen bee Lauren just ask someone at her table. There was just something not right about that. She would never ask it because she thinks someone is nice.
"What do you want in return?" A grin appeared on her face.
"I see you are smart. Well I want you to tell good things to Edward about me." Without even knowing I let go of a giggle. Her eyebrows went up in surprise.
"What's so funny?" She asked.
"You don't really believe that he is just a little interested in you, right?" In that minute her smile fated away.
"What are you saying?" It almost sounded like she was about to cry.
"He is using you." My words were hard and cold. But why wouldn't they be? She wanted to do the exact same thing to me. When I looked up at her, her face was steadfast.
"You are just jealous that he asked me out instead of you. It is all written on your forehead." And then the bell rang. My last lesson was over.
When I walked out of the classroom, Edward was there waiting for me. He didn't say anything nor did he look at me. His pace was fast and precise. As soon as we were outside the conversations of the other students stopped. Edward walked further without even noticing anything.
"Edward, Edward." He sighed and tuned around. Some boy came running to him.
"Felix," Edward said. "What is going on?" The boy who apparently was called Felix took a few minutes to control his breath.
"Victoria asked for you." Edward looked up from his shoes.
"Where is she?"
"Waiting for you at the cafeteria." He nodded and sends the boy away. For a moment he stood still, his eyes were searching around the parking lot. Eventually they stopped when they were looking in my eyes.
"I want you to stay here, and please try to not get into any trouble." He didn't wait for me to answer him, instead he just walked away. I sighed; did he always have to command me? The worst thing about him was that he didn't even listen to the things I had to say. Well that's an idea, if he is not listening to me than I am not going to listen to him. When he closed the door of the cafeteria, I started walking.
They were standing in front of each other, a bit too close in my opinion.
"What is it that you are doing here Victoria? You are not here because you like Alec so much. I have more the idea that you are here because of me and Bella."
"I have heard that Bella is like a sister to you." Edward nodded.
"Yeah she is."
"She not means anything more to you?" Edward thought about what she said for a while. Then out of nowhere one of Edward's hand pushed her against the wall.
"Would I do this if she is more than a sister to me?" He pushed his lips on hers. Willingly she curled her arms around his neck. After a few minutes Victoria had to push Edward away to breath.
"You don't know how long I have waited for this." He said while he was kissing her neck.
"But what do you want from me Victoria?" This was getting good. I took another step so I could hear them better. They both turned my way when I hit a plastic bottle.
"God dammed, Bella. I told you to wait at the parking lot." Edward was looking anger. Victoria didn't look shocked of basted, she was just looking at me with a grin. Edward sighed, kissed Victoria on the cheek, whispered something in her ear and then walked in my direction. He took my arm and dragged me alone.
"This is what I mean about you being irresponsible. Do you have any idea of how much trouble you are in?" He yelled at me.
"No because no one ever tells me anything." I yelled back. For a second Edward was quiet.
"I am doing everything to keep you save and you just do whatever you like." He hissed at me.
"Why would I listen to you, after everything you did to me and Charlie?" his anger grew with every second I kept talking. But I couldn't care less I just kept yelling at him.
"And all that commanding you do, I am not your dog. Neither am I a little girl."
"Then stop behaving like one. And about your father he deserved everything I did to him."
"No he did not, you distorted his whole life."
"He did worse to mine!" He yelled so hard that you could hear it all over the house.
"You have no idea what your father did to me." His voice was lower and softer now. I didn't know what to say or do for a while.
"Why would you want to protect me if you hate Charlie so much?"
"You are different." He whispered softly. He looked me over, somewhere out of his chest a grown came up. On look was given by him before he went upstairs.
In the morning when I was making breakfast, Edward came to stand behind me.
"I was thinking yesterday. You don't listen to me, so I am not going to listen to you. You didn't want me to kiss you so that's what I am going to do." His arms were wrapped around my waist and he stated to kiss my shoulder and neck.
"Edward, stop. Edward please don't." I tried to get out of his grip. But as hard as I tried it didn't help.
"I already thought you would say that." Edward had a grin on his face when he said it.
"I also thought of an alternative." I turned around in his arms. On my face there was a surprised look.
"Our hunger games could begin again, but this time we could make it more interesting with a price." He talked slow and thoughtful.
"A price, like what?" I asked in confusion.
"If I win you will be with me for the rest of you high school life and actually listen to what I say." My mouth felt open, that is still two years. Please tell me that he was joking, but looking at his face it was all intended seriously.
"What?" I yelled, Edward pulled his shoulders up and let them fall again.
"Your wish is my command." He started kissing my check with every kiss he came closer to my lips. He bowed his head and his lips were almost touching mine.
"Fine, Fine!" I yelled when his lips were a centimetre apart from mine.
"We do it but you have to agree with everything I want as price." He nodded in agreement; he held two fingers up in the air.
"But only two things." It was whispered into my ear. Edward defiantly loved the whole situation. The extreme smile on his face was revealing it.
"I want you to give Charlie his life back and stop interfering in my life." He thought about what I said, eventually he agreed.
"During the hunger games it's not allowed to kiss one another or hurt some one's friends or family." His hand was hold in the air for me to shake. For a few seconds I thought about it carefully. Eventually I shook his hand in agreement. The hunger games will begin.
Edward drove me to school on his motor. The hunger games were about to begin. I had absolutely no ideas about how to make it through this thing. It was hard to get to Edward. There weren't many things that got to him. I was probably going to lose very badly. I sighed and looked down at my feet. Edward and I were walking next to each other. He walked like he owned the world. His hands were in his pockets of his to expensive jeans of G-star. His shoulders were moving with every step he took. You could see his muscles perfectly in his white polo of Tommy Hilfiger.
Then out of nowhere I saw it. Everyone on the parking lot was watching us. Normally they were too scared.
"Why are they all looking at us?" On Edward's face a grin appeared.
"Not us, you. They are all looking at you." I narrowed my eyes when I tuned my face to him.
"What did you do?" I asked with a devil voice. His hand went up in the air and his finger was pointing at the corridors of the school. I exaggerated my walking pace.
