Hi

There you go, take it, you vultures!

Its there, the chapter is up. There will be more soon, I promise. But next time, do please try and ask nicely, instead of demanding like you have been. It might cause me to boycott. I'm sorry if its rushed, and crappy, but I had so many bloody people hassling me about putting a chapter up, on freakin Christmas eve! I do have a life, y'know, to all those people out there who've been nagging me. I do have a lot of other thing to do. Its Christmas for Christs sake!!!!!

I'm sorry about the rant, I'm just annoyed because my mother has announced that I'm not allowed to open any x-mas prezzies till AFTER x-mas dinner, which is bang out of order if you ask me!

Anywayz, enjoy, and merry Christmas from London Town. Xx

I walked up the stairs slowly, pacing myself. I was nearing the classroom.

'Deep breaths, deep breaths' I repeated, closing my eyes. I pushed the door open, and stepped inside.

Edward was already there. Sitting, in his assigned seat (for once),with all this books out. He was staring right at me. As were the rest of the class. Oh God. I paused in the doorway, hesitating, but then forced myself forward till I came to my seat, and set myself down in it cautiously. What, no jokes today? It was…..unusually quiet. Mr Banner began his lecture, and for the first time in ages, I didn't try to concentrate, I tuned him out. I could sense Edward shifting in his seat, he couldn't seem to sit still. His constant pen tapping was irritating me, but I ignored it. I did NOT want to have to talk to this boy. After a few minutes, I could…feel his eyes on me, scrutinizing my every move. I let my hair fall forward to cover my face, eager to be free from his hawk like stare.

'I'll be back in a minute' called Mr Banner a he stepped out of the room. Almost instantly, the whole class turned towards me, which was pretty ridiculous, seeing as I was sitting at the back.

I felt a hand gently touch my shoulder.

'Bella' A voice spoke softly. No, no a voice, I'd know that voice anywhere. Edward. I turned slightly, to face him. Hi eyes looked troubled, scared even.

'What Edward, what do you want?' I whispered.

'I just, I just wanted to..apologise. Y'know, for everything. I was a jerk, and I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done what I did. I'm so, so sorry, and I feel sick, sick to my stomach when I think about how I hurt you.' He looked up as he finished, his eye filled with some unfamiliar emotion. Why is he looking at me like that?

Snapping out of my daze, my brain began to register what he'd jut said. Huh, he shouldn't have done what he did? He couldn't even say aloud all the things he had done to me, because it would take him forever to recite them all. And a jerk? Seriously? He had been a little more than a jerk to me!

'What, you think just because my mum's dead, I'll be all sad and weepy? You think ht because I'll be feeling like shit, now is the best time to say something, as it's the time when I'm most likely to forgive you? You thought I'd say 'Hey, Edward. Why don't we just forget the whole you being a prick to me thing, forget all the time you tormented me for no reason? I thought you knew me better than that, Cullen. Surely you know me well enough to know that your 'I'm Edward Cullen' shit won't work on me, that I'm not like the rest of the seriously deranged female population, who seem to drop to their knees at your feet?'

'Bella, I-'

'Please Edward, just leave it,' I sighed, tired of shouting at him. 'I'll get back to my life, and you can get back to yours. Just leave me the hell alone.'

'Bella, if you'd just let me expl-'

'I said, leave it!' I stood up quickly, scrambling for my things, stuffed them in my bag, and managed to make it to the front of the room without falling on my face.

'Um, Mr Banner, sir? Could I please go to the nurse, I'm not feeling to well.' Please please please let me go, I cannot go back and sit with him.

'Um, yeah, er, sure. Go ahead. Feel better.' Mr Banner mumbled, fussing with his papers.

I was headed towards the door, when I heard the scraping of a chair, and someone calling out 'Bella!' Again, not someone, Edward. So I ran. I practically flew down the stairs, not paying attention to where I was heading. I ducked down nearby narrow corridor, running faster than I ever had before, till I couldn't hear the footsteps behind me anymore. Urrgh, he never gives up, does he? He cant just leave it, leave me alone. Urrgh. I leaned up against a locker, my chest heaving.

It was then I had an idea.

I walked into to the gym, with the biggest grin on my face. It was time to shoot some hoops.

There! Goodnight

And merry Chrimbo!
