Chapter 7 - Part 1

Edward was walking really fast, still at human speed, but too fast for my clumsy moves. He was getting even angrier than he was with every move he did; holding a very scary and determined look. I didn't know what to do to stop the mess that was starting. I couldn't let Edward 'talk' to Liam, I just… something inside me didn't want it. Something irrational didn't want Edward hitting Liam, something that was emerging inside me from nowhere and was sticking in my mind even more with every second.

"Edward, please" I pleaded while running toward him waving my arms in a –fail- attempt to stop him. "What are you going to say to him?!"

"I think that is not something that implicates you, it is between him and me" he said still focused on the walk, we were getting closer to Liam now. And I wasn't being able to stop Edward!

"What is between him and you? Don't you know he is not going to understand nothing? He didn't do anything wrong!" I was almost yelling now. Why he always needed to be so stubborn?! "Please let me explain you how it was!"

But when Edward was about to answer me, Liam saw us and finished the gap that was between where he was, and where he was going to finish bad – in other words Edward and me-.

"Hey Bella, hey…" Liam said waving at me and giving an I-don't-know-your-name look to Edward.

"Edward" he growled. OK if a look could kill, Liam would be almost disintegrated by now.

"H-hey Edward, I'm Liam…" Liam said uncomfortable, and a little scared I could tell. "I'm in English class with Bella and possibly---"

"I know who you are" he hissed cutting Liam off. I could say that for a second Liam's face turned worried, but he composed so quickly that I'm not really sure.

"O-oh, y-yeah I know who you are too… Bella's boyfriend… nice to meet you" Liam said timidly; extending his hand to give a hand shake to Edward.

"Exactly, Bella's boyfriend" Edward said deeply; eyeing him intensely, over emphasizing the word 'boyfriend'.

When Edward was about to extend the hand to conclude the handshake I broke in, putting my body between their hands to be exactly sure that it wasn't going to happen – Edward could have really broken one of Liam's fingers without even noticing with all the furiousness he was irradiating-.

"So… we have to go to class!" I managed to say pulling Edward to Calculus. I couldn't move him even an inch; he wasn't finish yet. Liam's face was indescribable when he saw Edward's furious gaze. Oh boy, what was he going to say to Liam?

"Liam…" Edward mouthed with a tone of disgust.

"I-I really need to go…" Liam was almost stuttering "I can't be late… we can keep talking in the tour, Bella told me you were going too" So he needed to bring up the subject! I really couldn't help him if he kept digging his own grave, god knows what Edward was going to tell him, but when he was about to Adeline appeared from the corridor, thanks God.

"Liam! I've been looking for you… We really need to---" She trailed off and turned to Edward. I swear she stood there frozen for a minute only staring at him, with melted eyes.

"Hi, I'm Adeline. Liam's sister" she giggled.

"Hi Adeline I'm Edward" Edward grinned. -OK where was the part where he said he was my boyfriend?-

"Yes, yes you can talk at the tour, we really need to go" Liam said eyeing Adeline intently.

Where they really needed to go?

"About that… I think it won't be happening… I really have lots of homework to do"

That tour couldn't happen. Adeline came this time and stopped the mess, but that wasn't happening twice.

"Don't worry I can give them the tour if you can't" Edward said challenging, and… with an ingenious look?

Whatwas that? Why was he looking at Adeline in that way? In a way that made me feel so… jealous?

"Great…" Adeline said smiling sweetly. Good god, he was my boyfriend!

Why was that feeling so strong in me now? Women were always trying to talk to him, or were always looking at him intensely, but I've never felt so jealous. So why now? Why with her?

"Actually, I can make a space in my schedule… I've really promised you I'll go, and I don't want you to think I give up on things" I stated, eyeing Adeline when I pronounced those two words. OK what was that? Why was I challenging Adeline? What was wrong with me? WHY WAS I ACTING SO WEIRD THESE DAYS?!

"I'm glad you decided to come" Liam said with a deep tone exposing his incredible teeth. Edward caught the tone, so he gave a step forward and gave Liam another killing look.

"We need to go to class. See you today" He stated looking at Adeline in that last part.

That was it. Why was he acting like that?

With that we entered to Calculus and sat in our place, one next to the other. He was still holding that amusing expression.

"What are you doing?" I snapped after a minute of pure silence.

"What am I doing?" he replied as not knowing what was I talking about –he really did know-.

"You know what I mean… why were you acting that way when she was obviously flirting with you? I asked getting angrier with every word I spoke.

"Oh so now I'm the one who someone is flirting with… 'I'm glad you decided to come'" he mocker with a theatrical voice.

"'Oh Great'…" I mocker now, with an over sweet tone "she almost jumped to your arms, and you would be more than happy to receive her, wouldn't you?" I was almost yelling right now.

"Are you seriously saying that?" he said laughing "Are you that jealous?"

That was it. I was really pissed off right now.

"Jealous? Jealous, me?" I laughed theatrically. I was jealous, more than over possible jealous. But I also didn't want to tell him that. I was feeling too haughty to confess it to him. Why was I feeling this? I was never haughty when it was about him.

Irrationally I went on.

"Please! I'm not jealous really" I said in a smug way.

"Well, so you are imagining things" he said arching an eyebrow.

"What are you trying to say?! I SAW YOU FLIRTING WITH HER" I snapped. I was yelling at him now, and I didn't know why.

He flickered; too surprised by my tone.

"Okay Bella, I'm sorry if you saw that. It really wasn't my intention. I just wanted to make you see what I feel when Liam talks to you. You know you are the only one for me. Just don't react like that. It was really nothing" he said softly.

But I didn't want to keep talking to him anymore. I mean my heart melted and wanted to go and jump into his arms and tell him 'I'm sorry' but my head wanted all the opposite. And this time the thought was too strong. I couldn't follow my heart as before.

I just looked at him with confused eyes and stood up. My head commanded me to sit in the place next to Jessica; on the opposite side of where he was.

And again I couldn't follow my heart…
