BPOV

We arrived at our first class of the day and were met with overly inquisitive stares. I guess that it wasn't all that unreasonable. I had only started school last Friday and I now had the arm of the best looking boy in school around me. The whispers began almost immediately. 'What is he doing with her??' 'She's so plain!!' 'Why her?!' 'All the girls drool over him!' 'It's not fair!' Edward easily ignored the loud whispers and steered me to a desk which he sat at with me. It was strange; I'd never had so much attention focused on me at one time before. I guess that Edward was used to it though. He had to have been. He was beautiful and exactly the kind of person who would forever be subjected to attention. Maybe he enjoyed it, maybe he didn't. If I had to bet, I would go with the latter. He was sat with his jaw clenched. His body still as marble. Immovable as a mountain. The whispers surrounded us like a shroud. I couldn't wait for the teacher to arrive. Maybe then Edward would allow some of the tension in his shoulders to dissipate. This brought a thought to mind, but was I brave enough to attempt it? I decided that it was worth it, if it worked. How would he react? In my mind it seemed like a harmless enough gesture, but Edward may view it as an invasion of his personal space.

I shifted my chair slightly back and shifted over somewhat. I braced myself and took a deep breath. The students in the class were looking on in interest. Had they no lives whatsoever? I placed my hands on Edward's shoulders, he seemed to tense even more. I hadn't known that this was possible. I began to knead his shoulders softly, to release some tension. The peculiar thing was that his shoulders didn't give, at all. Even the most muscled shoulders in the world should soften somewhat at being kneaded, should they not? He did seem to relax though. His posture became less stiff. Maybe I ad imagined it. Then the teacher walked in and I was forced to move away from Edward's shoulders. He smiled down at me and my knees buckled. 'Thank you, Bella,' he mouthed. I barely registered what he had said; I was too busy staring at the movement the words had caused his lips to make. How bad would it be if I were to jump on top of him in the middle of class, really?

The rest of the day was spent much the same. Stares, whispers and all around rudeness. You'd think that they would at least attempt to covert about it. At one stage of the day I was without Edward. He had been adamant that we stay together. I couldn't quite understand it, but I wasn't complaining. I was in the bathroom, in the process of washing and drying my hands, when I was cornered. It was, there was no other word for it, terrifying. There were five of them, but I only recognised two. One was the girl I had sat next to on the bus, Jessica I think. The other was Lauren, a snooty girl Jessica had introduced me to. I had no idea about the names of the rest. I didn't think that they had any intention of making introductions, either. 'Hey, guys,' I said nervously. However, they didn't think that the social niceties were necessary, apparently. Lauren stepped right up, right in my face. Her features were twisted into an ugly snarl. She poked her finger into my chest and growled, 'You! Who the hell do you think you are?! You come here from Arizona and within a few days of your arrival, you steal MY man from right under my nose. You bitch!' Edward had been dating Lauren? 'Well,' she continued, 'He would've been. I have no idea what's so special about you!' As she said this, her lip curled in an animalistic manner. I looked incredulously at her cronies. Did they really believe that this kind of behaviour was acceptable? Apparently, they did. 'He was never interested in dating until you came along! You're not even that hot! We would be together if it wasn't for YOU!' She shouted the end bit. Good thing they didn't know about Edward and I being married. Imagine their reaction if they did! Just as I thought she was about smack me a voice sounded outside the door of the bathroom. A velvety, smooth voice. Edward, thank god! 'Bella, are you ready? Are you alright?' At the sound of Edward's voice, the deranged girls froze. Then they rushed into frenzied action, fluffing their hair and checking their make-up in the mirrors. Apparently, Lauren was not the only one who was interested in Edward, though of course that had been painfully obvious.

I crept away while I had the chance and had almost reached the door when they noticed me. Lauren grabbed me and pushed out the door in front of me. As did her followers. I was finally able to exit the bathroom and the scene that I was met with made my blood boil. Lauren was standing in front of Edward while trailing a manicured finger up and down his chest. She had backed him up against a wall and looked like a deer caught in headlights. She was purring at him while the other girls tried to get near any other available part of Edward. Edward's eyes were searching. Then they found my own. A smirk played on his lips. 'Bella, honey,' he called. The girls crowded around him turned toward me with pure hate in their eyes. He sauntered over to me and slowly put his arms around me. He lowered his lips to my own and kissed me. It started off gently, but then got more intense. When we finally pulled away from one another, we were both left breathless. My head was spinning. His arm curled around my shoulders. 'Let's go to lunch, Bella,' he said. We began to walk away. I looked back to see the gobsmacked faces of Edward's unofficial fan club. The sight made me grin from ear to ear.

We entered the cafeteria and silence descended upon the entire room. Edward ignored this and went straight to the line for food. He grabbed two trays and asked me what I wanted. I didn't particularly care so I simply motioned vaguely to some food. He took and paid for what I pointed out. What he had taken for himself also seemed completely random. He led me to an empty table and we sat down. I noticed that his family were sitting at another table not far from our own. I wondered why he didn't want to sit with them. I asked him and all he said was, 'Well, if we were sitting with my family, I wouldn't be able to speak with my wife privately, would I?' He followed this comment with a dazzling smile. I was oblivious to my surroundings. So much so that I didn't notice the boy who had walked right up to our table and was now leaning on it. Edward had though. He was glaring at him, as though he could hear what he was thinking, and didn't particularly like it.

I wondered what he was doing here. Did he want to talk to Edward? If so, I wish that he would say what he wanted to say and leave. To my utter surprise, he turned to me. 'You're Isabella Swan, right? I'm Mike Newton.' He extended his hand for me to shake. 'Uh,' I replied. 'Actually, I prefer Bella.' I shook his hand with confusion. I looked at Edward to see pure fury on his face. What was going on? 'Okay, Bella. Are you busy tonight?' Mike smiled in what I guess he thought was an attractive manner. To be quite honest, it paled in comparison to Edward's. 'No, thank you.' I answered as politely as I could muster. His face fell. 'Umm, okay then.' He mumbled and shuffled dejectedly away. I turned to Edward with my cheeks burning and he grinned back at me. He grabbed my waist and once again claimed my lips with his own. This time it lasted longer. His lips were more insistent, more demanding. I felt his tongue force its way into my mouth and battle my own for dominance. He pushed me against the edge of the table and pressed himself harder against me. Then, he seemed to shake himself and he pulled away. 'What was that about?' I couldn't help but question. Not that I didn't enjoy it of course. Edward looked at me sheepishly and said, 'You're beautiful when you blush.' Of course, this simply made me blush harder. A booming laugh came from the table where Edward's family sat. It had come from Emmett. For some strange reason, I thought that he was laughing at us. Their table was relatively close to our own, but not exactly within earshot. Edward glared at Emmett, looking embarrassed. How bewildering!

The rest of the day could nearly be described as uneventful. Of course, we were forced to deal with the whispers pertaining to our P.D.A in the cafeteria. Plus the general whispers and gossip we had been dealing with all day. There were a select few that did not gossip about us, or glare daggers at me, etc, etc. Unfortunately, they were in the minority. One girl, Angela Webber, was in our Biology class. She introduced herself to me. She seemed quite shy but told me not to mind the whispers. That they would have found something else to talk about by next week. She also told me that Jessica wasn't really all that bad, just jealous. Lastly, she told me that Edward and I were really good together, that she hadn't seen him as happy in a long time. This of course, made me blush. Edward was sitting a few desks away, but I could've sworn I saw the edges of his lips tilt upwards.

At the end of school, Edward drove me home. He got out of the car and walked me to my front door. 'Sorry, Bella. I can't come in today. I have to go home and take care of some things, okay?' Oh. For some reason, I was deeply disappointed. He gave me a quick peck on the lips and was off. He was so fast! There were some strange things about Edward, now that I thought about it. His skin was impossibly hard. He hadn't eaten a thing at lunch. Or drank anything for that matter. He seemed to know what people were thinking. He could hear things from further away than anyone I had ever met before. I think. Plus now, the speed! I could've sworn that he actually blurred. I would find out tomorrow. If I remembered. Which was a big if with Edward around. He could dazzle you into forgetting anything, maybe even your own name. Dazzling, added to the list of things that weren't quite right about him. I would get answers tomorrow. I would! I hope.

(Again just a warning, you might not like Edward here.)

EPOV

I didn't want to leave Bella. Which was preposterous. I had known her for merely three days. Plus there was the bet to think of. The stupid bet! Why had I ever made it?! I banged my head on my steering wheel. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! When I finally stopped I noticed that I had left a large dent in the wheel. Great, just great! I would have to get that fixed. That wouldn't be hard to explain at all. Maybe Rosalie could fix it for me, she was great with cars.

I entered the house to the laughter of my brothers. Alice was looking on in disdain. She looked at me with disappointment, and something else. Something close to disgust. 'How's the wife?!' boomed Emmett. 'Eaten her, yet?' That wasn't funny. I would never hurt Bella. Of course I couldn't tell them that. I simply stared at them. I was so confused. Their thoughts were bombarding my brain. Alice's thoughts were the ones that seemed to reverberate around my skull. You're a pig! An inconsiderate jerk! An animal! I know. She knows that I know. However she knows that I'm not doing anything about it. As do I. Which made me worse. Then she spoke. Her words stung more than her thoughts. To hear what I was doing out loud. 'I can't believe that you're doing this to Bella. It's disgusting! What the hell did she ever do to you?! You do know that she's falling for you, right? Of course you do. What are you doing, just laughing at her behind her back? 'Oh, look at the silly human, thinking I would ever feel anything for her.'? I swear to god Edward! If I could spit. I would spit at you right now!' Then she turned on her heel and stormed from the room.

The reason Alice was so disgusted with me was because I had made a bet with jasper and Emmett. They bet me that I could not get a human girl of their choosing to marry me, give me her heart and then break it. I accepted the bet. I had guessed that it would be one of the girls already at Fork's High. Ones I wouldn't mind breaking the hearts of. It would have been hell for me of course, but in the long-run, easy enough. However, they had chosen the last minute transfer, figuring it would be too easy if it was a girl who was already in love with me. So I had approached Bella. She wasn't like the other girls, though. She had depth. Intelligence. Personality. A mind of her own. One I could not read. The first, which intrigued me to no end. And her scent, her heavenly, heavenly scent! She wouldn't have been swayed so easily into marrying me, so I had to help her along. I had poured alcohol into her coffee, guessing she wouldn't handle it well. I had been right. I went on to get her completely drunk, and then married her. I was adamant that I would not lose the bet. I even made her think that we slept together; of course I wouldn't have that sort of self-control. She thought that she had lost her virginity to me. I was despicable. I hated myself.

'So she's falling for you already, huh?' Emmett's voice interrupted my thoughts. They were enjoying it. Of course I had thought I would too. Toying with the humans. But I didn't want to toy with Bella. 'You're not falling for her too, are you Edward?' Jasper smirked. I attempted to put a stop to my inner turmoil. No such luck. So I pretended. 'Of course not,' I scoffed. 'She's just a stupid human. I'm so going to win this bet.' I grinned and laughed with my brothers. But it was all an act. For once in my existence, I was glad I was the mind-reader of the group.

Well, what did you think? Let me know. Are you surprised? Angry? Etc? Reviews make me update faster. I promise.
