Chapter 5 : Newton Flirts with Death
Disclaimer: Don't own Twilight, obviously otherwise I would be charging royalties and I would be a lot richer then my meagre student wages
Alright well hmm possible slightly out of character here, I really wanted Edward to have that teasing brother, protective man feel so i may have gone just a bit over board

I had made it through my first two classes without much hassle, Calculus was always my strong suite and having been around for the lives and deaths of many of our great authors, English Literature bored me, I was happy enough when both teachers sent me to the back where I could quickly flip through the History book I borrowed this morning.
My next class, the only one I shared with both Alice and Rosalie due to our lack of tutelage in the subject was American History; we were put into the remedial class that was home to both juniors and seniors alike.
I arrived first and sat near the back, not bothering to acknowledge our presence to the class, well aware that Alice would handle all our introductions, I opened the book to the Chapter labelled "The Civil War" and began to scan frivolously, Alice came in next and began chatting excitedly to me, I gave her the evil stare that literally translated to "Piss Off I'm reading" (Come on who has that stare, raises hand) she rolled her eyes,
"Alright, but you're going to want to see this," Just then Rose walked in followed by a pack of lap dogs each begging to carry her books, or pull her seat out, she glared at them and some of them seemed to back off. She sat down next to us
"Nice choice Alice, they haven't left me alone all day," Rosalie whispered indicating her clothes, Alice smiled
The class was about to start when one of the lap dogs made his way over to the table, he introduced himself as Mike Newton, and at first appraisal he seemed to play the church going, momma's boy jock that he seemed to be. Newton, why did that name seem familiar,
"Ohhh," I gasped under my breath, hadn't Edward said something about Newton
Mike leaned forward as he tried to chat up Rosalie, Rosalie looked angry but she calmly tried to shoo him away, Alice grabbed her hand and squiggled on it with a pen,
What the hell Alice I thought, but was distracted by Mike, while his hands made his way down the neckline of Rose's top

It was now the third period of the day and I was in my one interesting class of the day in my opinion, well it wasn't the class as such but rather it was the fact that the Teacher Mrs Hope would tell us something out of the curriculum and then in her mind completely contradict her words with dozens of different case studies.
Ancient history was in the room opposite the remedial history class in which Bella, Alice and Rose were in and I and today I was far more interested in what was going on in the class next door.
I sat there waiting for Emmett to come in, fresh from extra Gym; he always did like to show off,
"So you like Rose, eh my brother," I teased as he walked in
He poked his tongue out at me
"That's none of your business,"
I laughed, for the last ten minutes ever since Emmett's rather erotic fantasies had taken over, Rosalie and only Rosalie had been my business
"Well you got some competition there big guy, looks like Newton may be the first one to get to first base with your darling Rose,"
He fumed, grabbing the table in a fit of jealously,
"Oh calm down, Rose, might just kill him for it, she is rather vicious" He snarled
"Uh, Oh he just asked her if she would like to go up to the point with him," I scrunched my nose, clearing picking up on Emmett's rage
"Why that little twerp," With that he was up, I raised my brow but Yelled after him
"Grab her right wrist and show it the Newton will ya," he barely nodded as he stormed out the room

I looked at Alice and then back at Mike who was inches away from death as he got closer and closer to my breast,
"One more inch, and I swear," I issued as I grated my teeth, I was just about to scream at him when Emmett came streaming into the room, Mike turned with the
commotion and paled at the sight of the muscled giant, Emmett looked at the tiny human and stared until he came up with a sufficient response.
"She is mine Newton, and if I hear about you laying one hand on her again you will wish you had never been born," I giggled, the Tarzan, coming to the rescue routine was a massive turn on, Mike looked speechless, but gathered up his will power for a final assault
"I don't see your name on her," He issued defiantly
Emmett faltered but suddenly grabbed my right wrist and shoved it at him, smiling triumphantly; I cranked my neck and scowled as I read what Alice has scribbled on my wrist only minutes ago.
In bold letters it read "Property of Emmett Cullen"
Mike scowled and shuffled to his seat muttering incoherently, Emmett smiled triumphantly. I turned to Alice who nodded in agreement at the plan quickly forming in my head.
"Come here Emmett," I purred seductively to him, he widened his eyes but leant forward expectantly.
"My hero," I exclaimed
I pushed myself up onto the desk before grabbing his shirt and pulling him down to me. I kissed him passionately, entwining my fingers in his hair, as he responded by cupping my face in his hands, the kiss lingered and was admittedly amazing however before long it was time to continue the plan and I pulled away almost reluctantly.
I raised my hand and slapped him clear across the face, loudly but not hard enough to produce any real damage, he looked at me shocked and hurt but I winked at him and his expression turned from that of shocked disbelief to that of confusion.
"Sorry, I'll explain later" I whispered so only he could hear as I got up and stalked over to Mike's table.
"Newton," I screeched
"If you ever get that close to me again, I will let my boyfriend have you, when and only when, I'm finished with you," I snarled baring my teeth, Mike began to cower in his seat, and I smiled satisfied before turning around and walking back to my seat where Emmett was still standing. He mouthed to me in shock 'boyfriend?' I thought for a moment before nodding.
He stared at me for a second in shock before he seemed to realise where he was and shuffled out of the room, back to his class, much to the disapproving looks of the teacher as well as the disappointed looks of the girls of the class.
"Nice job," Alice told me, I smiled but looked after Emmett hoping he would understand why I had to slap him; he needed to understand that I would fight my own battles

Emmett walked back into the room after his little show rubbing his cheek as if it were a shrine.
"Did you hear," he asked me glowing in excitement
I rolled my eyes at him; he knew very well that I had heard every word, and although I would never admit it I was impressed by Rose's resolve,
"Oh yeah, by the way, Rose wanted me to tell you she only slapped you to show everyone she could fight her own battles," I quickly whispered to him. He looked at me, and then slowly comprehended my words; he mouthed 'Oh' before his eyes lightened up at the new thing to add to his list of why he loved Rosalie.

The bell tolled and signalled that lunch that started, and slowly made my way to the cafeteria, I looked around and saw 500 odd people sitting down chatting, I looked to my right and saw Emmett, Jasper and Edward as well as Rose and Alice sitting at the corner table to the far side of the rest of the students. I stared at them before deciding to bypass the whole line up to get food line and went to sit at their table.
I sat down at the corner, ready to make a quick exit, but as the lunch hour progressed I found myself relaxing. I finally pulled out a small juice box before, continuing to puncture the lid and slowly drink the light raspberry liquid.
I looked up at the boys who were staring at me blankly; I stared at them and took a final gulp before I stared them down
"What?" I asked, looking at them
"Why are you drinking that, doesn't it taste awful to you," Edward asked me concerned
The girls began to laugh, before I joined them,
"Why wouldn't it taste any good, you don't even know what it is?"
I shoved the small box to Edward almost empty and motioned for him to try some," he looked at me almost repulsed but was goaded by his brothers to having a taste.
He took the tiniest sip and tasted, slowly allowing the liquid to slide down his throat, he thought for a moment before laughing
"Clever," he said
I shrugged me shoulders, it had taken us years to come up with a suitable recipe, for a fake fruit juice, to make it look like we did indeed eat to our class mates. Jasper stared at me emanating waves of frustration and confusion, Emmett glared at him and he muttered 'sorry'.
The bell was about to go so I got up from the table, and began to walk away from the group, I had wanted to check out the school library for some of my books before I left today, I had wanted to get versed in the American grammatical system, I was aware that many common words were spelt differently and believed that the easiest way to learn the language was to read my favourite novels in that language, well it worked for Indonesian and French anyway.
I walked around the corner and then was cornered by Newton and his cronies; I laughed suddenly finding it funny that I now sneered his name.
"Mike," I said looking at him questioningly, he grabbed my shoulder and exhorted pressure on it to hold me still, his cronies closed in around me in a loose circle. I glared at him
"What do you want," I snapped at him, he laughed,
"You're going to come on a date with me this Saturday alright Bella," I looked at him angrily, how dare he push himself at me like that,
"Fat chance," I said pushing my way through him and his cronies, beware of Newton was right, I turned the corner, but felt my arm being held back, I halted, fearful that I would not be able to repress the urge to hunt him down, he spun me around to look at him, this time grabbing both shoulders and holding me down, I snarled and he smirked happy at my reaction.
"I don't think you understand Bella, you will be mine," I snarled ready to use superhuman strength if necessary to get this slime ball off me at any cost when I felt a sharp pull and saw Edward, flanked by Emmett and Jasper pull Newton or rather carry him off into the parking lot, his cronies looked around confused but dared not go after all three in their state.
"They aren't going to kill him are they," I asked Alice as I rushed after them, ready to stop them at need. She shook her head, and pulled me back, telling me that they had to talk some sense into him alone.
JPOV ( Yay Jasper)
Edward very publically pushed Newton to the car park, before secretly directing him to the fire escape where we pushed him up onto the roof, Edward pushed him onto his knees before shoving his face into the wind on the edge of the building, I emanated a feeling of fear towards Mike, and began to snarl.
"What do you want Cullen," Mike sobbed while still managing to look up at Edward with hatred, I was amazed, how he was able to hold onto both emotions so strongly at once was quite remarkable.
"I want you to stay away from the girls," he snapped
"If you ever go near Alice, Rose or Bella ever again, If you so much as look at them longingly, I will know," I looked at Edwards eyes they had turned cold, and what were a light ochre yellow, had turned to a stained gold, glistening and emphasising the hatred he had with each word.
I turned to Edward amazed, for the brother who told himself and everyone else that he had no feelings other then friendship towards Bella; he certainly had a funny way of showing it.
Edward turned hearing my thoughts and loosened his grip on Mike's clothing; Mike struggled so Emmett grabbed his shirt and held him down while Edward walked away from the source of his frustration.
"Listen here twerp, You better not tell anyone that you were up here, otherwise it's a one way trip to the funny farm, no one can scale that climb, especially not you, and since the fire escape is still locked from the inside, well," Emmett shrugged and backed off obviously satisfied with his torturing technique.
I went over to Mike and grabbed his hand, dragging him to the fire escape were I descended slowly before throwing him onto the grass were he would land quite safely. As soon as he left my hands I scrambled back up the fire escape, faster than humanly possible so when he looked back, he would only see the empty fire escape, the only remnants of his experience.
