Mike Newton's point of view. (Takes place in the cafeteria)
I watched with narrowed eyes as Bella chatted amiably with Alice Cullen at the Cullen's table. When she first met them and sat with them, the group was called "the Cullen's and Bella Swan". Now it was just "the Cullen's". To us, Bella was now an unofficial member of the Cullen family. It is possible they thought of her as a member of their family, but then, they don't exactly announce about everything going on in their family on a megaphone.
As I watched, Edward freaking Cullen leaned down and gave a light peck on Bella's lips. My cheeks burned with jealousy, and for the two-thousandth time, I wished I were Edward there, kissing Bella's lovely lips. Absent-mindedly, my hand raked through my hair, which was recently changed. I had changed my hairstyle from the usual gelled one to a more, hotter look. I called it the Edwardian Mike look. It was an imitation of Edward Cullen's windblown hair, and I thought Bella might go for me, and dump Cullen now and then. Then, I was wrong. Was it me, or did the Cullens (including Bella) laugh at my new hairstyle behind my back? Instead of Bella going for me, and dumping Cullen, she merely ignored me more and treated me with …pity?
I had watched the other members of the Cullen family to see how they would react to Bella sitting with them. Jasper was okay with it, it seemed. Emmett was so…so thrilled with the arrangement, like a child who just got the Christmas present he was waiting for so long. Alice was hyperactive as usual and very chatty today. She liked Bella, it was evident. It was highly unusual for the Cullens to start liking Bella, since they often turned their noses up at anyone out of their family. Rosalie Hale turned her nose up at Bella, as usual.
Someone nudged me in the arm.
"Ow!" I yelped turning to Jessica Stanley. She was glaring at Bella.
"What do you want, Jessica?" I complained.
"Why are you looking at them ?" she snarled. "Why weren't you listening to me?"
I glowered at her. We had only gotten together 2 weeks ago, and she still was making it difficult for me. God, did Jessica have to be so pushy !?
Mr. O'Leary was explaining something about biology, but I really wasn't listening. Ugh, that old man sounded so much like a decrepit duck. He kept quacking on and on like one.
I shot a glance at the Bella-Edward couple behind me. These days, they were practically joined together at the hip. It was hard not to be jealous of them.
Bella caught my eye as I glanced at them. Since I didn't want her to think I was spying on them, I smiled. She smiled back and went back to whatever she was doing. I scowled.
She was so sweet, and ....I don't know, very likable? Probably. I wish Jessica was like her. All that that girl [Jess]did these days was to prattle on and on about some thing trivial or Jessica-ish. She was really boring to listen to.
I shot another peek at Bella. She was writing notes and smiling to herself. Beside her, Cullen glared at me. It's so creepy, like that guy has a mind-reading radar. Whenever I think of how hot Bella is, he glares at me. Creepy.
I wanted to give Bella a gift (because I know today is Bella's birthday), but then, Cullen would probably convince Bella that it was a bomb, and then throw it down the drain. Man, I really hate Cullen. I wish he'd just drive his stupid oh-so-shiny silver fancy Volvo off a cliff. Serves him right. And then if he died, I could comfort my weeping Bella, and then we'd be friends, and after a few weeks, she come to my house...we'd hang out together...watch movies at my house...and then BAM!. We'd start kissing..and then Bella and I would confess to our love for each other...and then we'd date for about three months...and then I'd take her to a restaurant at Port Angeles (that La Bella Italia restaurant would be a good idea...the restaurant suits Bella well..)and then after Bella's had dessert, I'd go down on one knee and take Bella's hand in mine and ask her...Then we'd be married on a lovely beach in Florida (it should be Florida, since Bella told me that she hated rainy places, and since Bella was raised there. So Florida should be perfect.) .....we'd honeymoon at a perfect Mexican hotel...and there Bella would push me on the silky bed...remove my shirt...
THUCK!!!
What? I looked around, and spotted a crumpled ball of paper lying on my desk. Confused, I opened the crumpled ball of paper and read:
SHUT UP
What did that mean? I wasn't talking at all. And who wrote this? The handwriting was written in bold, capital letters, and just was not academic like the teachers', not fancy like all the Cullen siblings' handwriting were, not curvy like Jessica and Lauren's were, not illegible like Bella's. So for the life of everyone, I didn't understand what it meant.
Edward Cullen POV
Mike Newton was being especially irritating today. Would one day pass by when he didn't think thoughts, especially perverted thoughts, about my Bella? His thoughts broke through the mental barrier I had so forcibly put in my head to block out his nasally sounding mental voice.
We'll honeymoon at a perfect Mexican hotel...and there, Bella'll push me on the silky bed...and remove my shirt..and th-
I couldn't take it. It took nearly all my strength not to hit Newton on that spot. I took a deep breath and another. I tore a piece of paper from my notebook (at lightning speed, so Bella didn't see me do it) and wrote two words "Shut Up" in bold capital letters and in a handwriting different from my usual one (so that he wouldn't suspect me or Bella). I balled it and hurled it at Newton at the speed of lightning. No one had seen me do anything. Good. I glanced at Bella. She was writing her notes calmly, unaware that her boyfriend had just thrown a ball of paper at another boy.
I didn't care what Newton thought of the two words printed on the paper. I just wanted him to stop thinking such thoughts about Bella. Just then, Newton's thoughts broke into my head, and almost made me laugh.
What person throws a ball of paper with nothing except the words "Shut up" on it at me? What does this note mean? It's gotta be a secret note with secret handwriting...I read about them in Sherlock Holmes....Hey, maybe someone sent that note...could go home and check it out...really cool trick...maybe the letters S and U mean something? I think it could mean...
I tuned him out, and his voice became a low hum in the background. The sight of Newton trying to puzzle out a non-existent secret letter was incredibly funny.
Mike Newton POV (after school)
I watched Cullen with jealousy. That man didn't even know he was so lucky to have a girl like Bella. This made me more jealous. How was it that Cullen got everything -good grades (I had overheard about this from the teachers' staffroom), a hot body (from what I've heard from the girls), good looks (I heard about this from the female population of Forks High), and last of all, a perfect girlfriend (I heard it from myself)?
Life wasn't even fair.
I sulked more, as Bella got into Cullen's stupid Volvo, along with Alice Cullen and Edward Cullen.
Edward Cullen POV
....That man doesn't even know he is so lucky to have a girl like Bella....
I stopped. Newton was being jealous of me, as rambled on and on about me getting everything,all the while getting more and more miserable.
Life's not even fair. Newton ended unhappily.
"Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all," I quoted William Goldman under my breath.
Alice looked up at me, confusion written on her face.
Edward? What's with the "life isn't fair" thing? Is something wrong? Should I...? She asked me anxiously in her mind.
I shook my head at her quickly.
"It's nothing," I mouthed at her as I got in the car.
"Well, let's go for the party!" Alice squealed behind me,all traces of worry gone from her mind. Beside me, Bella groaned audibly.I sighed.
No, life wasn't even fair.
Hey, guys....I'm really sorry for holding you up for so long *ducks from tomato thrown at me*......I beg you, please forgive me!!!
More than 163 reviews = 1 more chapter
I'm getting more trouble writing the future chapters...so could you suggest ideas for me?? Also, I won't be writing pranks in the future chapters cuz New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn are slightly dark, cuz of the dangers looming ahead (eg:-Victoria, the Volturi etc)and the Cullens can't play pranks during such times.
So, I won't be writing pranks, (I'm really sorry!!!!!!I just can't find a suitable timeline to fit it in and I don't support alternate universes...)
Also....
NOTE:- BEWARE OF NEXT CHAPTER...IT IS THE SADDEST CHAPTER...(cuz Edward leaves Bella in that chapter)
In next chapter:- Edward leaves Bella, in Mike's POV.
Please suggest ideas for next chapter...
Yours,
