Chapter 12
Hell on school
I woke up earlier than Edward, cooking for his breakfast. I still haven't finished reading but I am sure I saw something in the rules that says, 'cook for me at breakfast please'.
I'm starting to hate him again.
The rules are bursting out of my brain. I only wrote 10 rules that are bearable but he's rules are not!
Well, I'm not going to give up! Never!
Since I was early, I left the food at the table. I didn't open the curtains since we are both leaving for school. I went to the bathroom and showered. Couple of minutes passed and I changed into simple jeans, sneakers and long sleeve…It was still cold.
I decided to pony-tailed my hair. When I went back to the dining room, Edward is also dressed up already and about to sit at the chair.
"Starting to think if you'd like to be the maid here" He said.
"Nooooo way"
"Salary ten times than my assistant" He said. I thought about it for a moment. What if I earned the money he needed? How much was it anyway? But I hate being the maid.
"Thanks but no thanks. I don't want my hands to work for you…"
"So you already read all the rules? I assumed not. Because if you are, you'll probably kill me right now"
"Your right"
"Always am" He said as he chews his breakfast.
"Are there lots of rules that are worst than 30 and 31?"
"There is one" He said and he laughed.
I raised both my eyebrows but he just shook his head.
"Just read it" He mumbled and I let it go.
We ate only for a short time, brushed our teeth's and went to school.
We are ten minutes early but its okay for me. I still have to get my things at my locker.
When we both went out of the car, everyone looked at us…no stare at us. Looking at the way me and Edward talked and looked at each other. This is awkward.
"Get used to this" He said.
"It's not easy" I whispered.
"It would be. It should be" He muttered then hugged me quickly.
I tried to smile…
"Don't forget number 8" He said. No flirting or dating. FLIRTING? Seriously.
"Maybe you should tell that to yourself" I said laughing, he also laughed but started to walk.
"See you at free time princess" He waved then run to his building.
Then as I walked to my building, I heard girls talking.
"Did Edward just call her princess?"
"So all the pictures are real?"
"Of course they are! The kissing and stuffs are real!"
"Bella is so lucky"
"Edward is also lucky" A guy said.
"I wish to be her"
"In our dreams! They are perfect for each other!"
"Oh yeah! The way he stares at her melts me!"
"Wonder how can she breathe if he does that"
"They are really in love with each other"
"Why's that?"
"They are living together"
Then I passed through them and they stayed quiet.
The way he stares at me? What do they mean? Maybe I should use internet to see the pictures.
I got my math book then went to my seat. Five minutes before the bell ring.
"Hey" I said to Jacob.
"Hi Bells, Why are you absent yesterday?"
"Edward gives me a list of excuses just not to get to school" I said jokingly and we both laughed.
"What did you two did yesterday?"
"Stayed at home then went to Mrs. Cullen"
"Oh, well good thing for you. The boredom strikes here yesterday"
We both laughed.
"So Jacob, What did I miss yesterday?"
"Nothing, did you know everyone here, even the teachers are talking about the 'you and edward' thing. It's pretty repetitive. Our math teacher seems to be a fan, he gave us free time"
"Wow. That's weird"
"Yeah right? All we did the whole one hour is talked about what happened on since you are absent"
"That's embarrassing" I said and he laughed.
"Yeah"
"Good thing your music teacher is absent. You don't have to endure another hour with her today. Mine is alive and deadly so I'll better be good at arts" I laughed at him.
"Nice, hey Jake…do you heard something from Tanya?" I asked.
"She seems stiff about the whole campus new gossip. Maybe she's still feeling something for Edward, hey no offense but just saying"
"She's weird"
"Yeah she is, she always am. I think she cut class yesterday"
"Wew"
Then the bell rang. Our math teacher told me that me and Edward should stay together forever. I just smiled. AWKWARD! GOSH!
At music, I just stayed at the room because the substitute teacher doesn't know anything about the music. Every Tuesday, I have Statistics.
Good thing I already read the topic she discussed yesterday, I didn't had a hard time answering the quiz.
Can't believe it's already homeroom. I have to see Edward's damn face again and pretend pretend and pretend! All this time, people are looking at me. Some guys even went to me and asked for an autograph. CRAZY! I'm not an actress! Go find Edward please!
I planned on hiding to Edward at my free time. I went quickly to the library and hid to where we first met. I'm pretty sure he won't be here and he won't think I'm here.
It was always pretty dark here and I sat and played at my phone. A minute later, someone put his hand on mouth, making me unable to shout.
"It's me princess" He let go of me then sat beside me.
"Stop doing that to me, you scared me"
"Why are you here?" He asked.
"Why are you here?" I repeated his question.
"I saw you walked to here, now can you answer mine?"
"I wanted to stay away from you" I smiled.
"Psh. Stop it, come on…let's not stay here"
"I wanna stay here; you know I hate the popularity thing"
"You can't hide in here forever"
"Who says I'm going to hide here forever?"
"You are in a bad mood today…hmmm…I think I can do something to take that away"
"Like what?"
Then he leaned and pressed his lips into mine. I was shocked at first then when I was about to pull out and shout at him, he put his hands on my face and kissed me more. AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHY I KISSED HIM BACK at the end before he pulled out and smiled at me.
"We okay now?" He asked teasingly.
I just looked at him then bit my lip. I'm so going to punch this guy!
"You really love me, do you? You keep on taking advantages! Why did you kiss me?" I said and he only laughed.
"Hmmm" He said.
"Hmm-mmm yourself" I told him, blushing. Good thing it was pretty dark…
He laughed.
"Stop doing that please, we are in school besides what if someone saw us?" I said.
"No one is around" He mumbled.
"We are still in school baby" I joked. He smirked at the sound of baby…
"Okay Princess, whatever you say" He said.
"Thank you"
"Anytime"
We stayed at the library, not talking. He made me rest my head on his shoulder as I played games in my phone.
Then the bell rang. We both stood up and went to the cafeteria.
Alice, Jasper and Jacob are waiting. On the other table, Rose, Emmett and Tanya are waiting.
Where will I sit? If I sat at Alice's…everyone will be confused why I won't sit with Edward. If I sat at Rose's…my friends would be jealous.
I frowned and Edward saw it. We went to the line and ordered food. He had our tray on his hand but he made me sit into a table on the corner where no one is sitting.
"Why will we sit here?" I asked but sat anyway.
"I know what you thought. I think privacy matters now" He said and took a bite of his sandwich.
"Can't you just sit with Tanya and I'll sit at Alice's?"
"Can't leave you…what would people think? That we are fighting? Nuh-uh" He said.
"True" I agreed.
We ate silently…maybe because there is nothing to talk about. Fans interrupted us…they asked for Edward's and mine's signature. His bodyguards stayed outside the cafeteria…wonder why…
Then my phone rang as same as Edward's.
I checked it and it says 'video message'.
I opened it because I'm curious. I almost fell on my seat when I saw myself and Edward on the video, good thing I got a good grip on my chair.
The WHOLE library thing was on this video. It started when Edward scared me and sat beside me. WORST PART is they also got the KISSING THING! I heard everyone say aww and I looked up. EVERYONE in this cafeteria have the video in their cell phones.
I looked back and the video stopped when we stood up.
"wow" I said and looked at Edward. He frowned then stood up.
"Who took this video?" He said loudly, everyone looked at him.
"I said, WHO TOOK THE VIDEO?" He said again. I stood up and went to him.
"Stop, let it go" I said pleadingly for I was sure no one will speak.
He looked at me but didn't obey me.
"Whoever took this video, you got only ten seconds to say who you are before I used my sources to track who you are" He said and everyone looked around.
I counted….5.6…then someone stood up and raised his hand.
Mike.
He looks like he's going to cry…
"Mike?" I asked.
"You know him?" Edward asked me. I nodded…I swear he will punch mike because he started to walk to him. I quickly held his hand.
"Edward, calm down" I said. He sighed then held my hand tighter but went to Mike.
"Are you sure it was you?" Edward said.
"Yes" Mike said, eyes almost teary.
"Why?" Edward hissed. I pulled him closer to me…if he punches this guy, it would be in the news!
"I…uhmmm…I'm jealous!" He said then cried. Everyone is watching us, the bodyguards circling us.
"JEALOUS?" Edward almost shouted. I squeezed his hand and he looked at me.
I gave him a look that says please-calm-down.
"I like bella! And you just stole her" Mike said then ran. One of the bodyguards caught him but I told him to let Mike go. He ran away, crying like a baby.
I know he likes me but only like a crush…He can't be that desperate.
Edward looked at me then laughed. He leaned to me and spoke at my ear. I can even feel his breathe…
"Wow…he really is blind huh?" He laughed then looked at me. I glared at him and let go of his hand.
"Maybe" I said and he laughed again.
"I'm just joking princess, don't be mad" He touched my cheek then let it go.
"Fine fine…You know I can't believe everything. Mike…I mean Newton could do that! The only worst thing about the video is they saw the embarrassing part" I whispered.
"Told you get used to it" He said and I laughed at him.
"You should say it to yourself…you got mad at him not me!" I stuck my tongue out and laughed at him.
"You're silly" He said and we both laughed. We went back to our table and ate again.
I know everyone is still looking at us like they are watching a movie.
H-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s.
The bell rang and we both went to biology room.
There I first saw Tanya today, she didn't look at us. She just stayed reading something.
When me and Edward sat at our chair, I saw him looked at her then frowned.
Maybe Edward is thinking if Tanya saw our video or not…maybe he's thinking why she is not reacting as a jealous girl right now.
Edward's phone rang and he looked at it. I didn't mind asking what it was. I opened my book and read the 'possible lesson' they've discussed yesterday or the other day when I am absent.
"Do you know what they've done yesterday?" I whispered to Edward.
"How should I know? We are both absents" He said lowly, almost as if like he's saying I'm so stupid not to know. I frowned at him.
"I'm sorry…that is why I'm asking" I said and he looked away.
What is wrong with him? One moment he was so sweet he keeps on making this fake relationship real and now he's acting mad at me again! Seriously, what the hell is his problem?
So we stayed not talking, both mad at each other. Good thing no one seems to realize that. When the bell rang, I groaned because the next subject would be PE and it's volleyball for me today.
Everyone stood up and Edward almost left me alone. I wanted to confront him so badly.
When we were outside, I asked him immediately.
"Are you mad?" He looked around and to my eyes and nodded.
"Why?" I asked.
"Didn't I tell you about rule number 8?"
"8? I didn't flirt or date with anyone" I said.
"Really? Then what do you call this?" He handed me his phone and I looked into it.
A picture of me and Jacob. Both of us laughing and looking at each other's eyes.
The picture was taken this morning.
"What's wrong with this?" I asked him.
"Ask yourself…why did you break the rule?"
"I'm not flirting with Jacob! Gosh! Edward, we are laughing because of some joke at class…whoever pictured this just wanted us to fight. Edward, I'm not flirting!" I said.
"From what I see, you are lying"
"Baby…I. am. not. flirting. with. others" I said and he sighed and pulled me into a hug.
"Keep it that way" He said and I pushed him away.
"Can I remind you of something? It's the word 'FAKE!' Why are you acting like a real boyfie?" I asked.
"Guess I just liked to see you get mad" He replied then laughed.
"We would be late for PE, come on" I said and we ran to the gym.
I changed into my PE uniform. Bad thing is I forgot to bring my jogging pants. I only had my shorts…
What the hell? Everyone knows how shy I am. I didn't mind it and wore the shorts.
When I went to the gym, I saw Edward and Jacob playing basketball. They are both not on the same team.
The game isn't still starting. I went to the other side of the gym where all the girls are in there. Everyone looked at me…WHY ONLY ME? I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WEARING SHORTS! Some girls too!
The game started and even Edward's…
Tanya is my opponent. My team is winning…I can feel it!
One more round and the game is finished when I heard the coach whistle.
"Beware! Boyfriend alert" He shouted then laughed at me. I looked around and saw Edward walking to me with a ball on his right hand.
Everyone laughed at us and they are STARING at us.
"What's up?" I asked, totally curious why the coach had to stop the game. I know they are already done but we are not!
He stopped walking and looked to me from head to toe then back again without blinking his eyes.
"Why are you wearing shorts?" He said.
"I forgot my jogging pants" I told him. I didn't know why but I'm feeling kind of embarrassed now.
"You shouldn't played the game if you're wearing shorts"
"Told yah beware" The coach shouted and everyone laughed. Some girls said, 'wish he can be like that to me'
"What's wrong with that?" I asked.
"I don't like guys staring at you…and your legs as you play"
"They are?"
I looked at some guys at the bleacher. They looked away.
"I…uhmmm" I started to say something but I don't know what to say anymore.
"Next time, tell me if you forgot it, I'll call someone to pick it up for you"
"Hilarious"
"Maybe I just love you so much" He said and walked back to his team. Some guys teased him and girls keep saying 'aww….that was so cute'.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Tanya run away. No one realizes because they are watching me blush.
"Back to game" I shouted at the coach and he laughed.
"Teenage love is the best" He said then whistled.
And like what I said, our team won. Everyone gave me a high five, some even hugged me.
I never knew they like me. I mean, before, when we won because of me, they congratulated other girl.
I smiled and went to change.
Guess I have a high score in PE now.
When I went out of the locker room, I saw Jacob and he went to me.
"Good game" He muttered.
"Really? Thanks"
"You know I've never seen Edward acted like that" He said. Why does he like talking about Edward anyway?
"What do you mean?"
"I never seen Edward became sweet at someone. His relationship with Tanya is more like just a pure friendship to him…I think. Well I never knew anything about them so…Maybe I'm wrong"
"Hmmm"
"Bella!" I heard Edward and we both glanced to him.
"Yep?" I asked.
"Where have you been? I've been finding you"
"Oh, sorry" I said and Jacob whispered to me.
"I'd better go before he became jealous" He told me and I smiled at him apologetically.
"See you later Edward" He said to Edward then walked out of the gym.
"You and Jacob huh?" Edward teasingly said.
"We are just friends"
"Whatever"
We walked to my next class which is English.
"Did I mention to you that Tanya went out of the gym when you did your scene earlier?"
I told him as I watched him starting to smile.
"You didn't mentioned it but I'm glad you told me now, see you at dismissal princess" Then he kissed my cheek.
"Ok baby" I jokingly said. Three girls stared at us.
A couple of seconds after I went inside, Ms. Rachelle looked at all of us.
"New sitting arrangement today" Everyone groaned but she continued saying who should we sit with.
"Tanya Denali, sit beside Bella Swan" I frowned at the teacher. Good thing she didn't saw.
"Ohh, cat fight coming" A group of guys said and Tanya just smiled at them.
"Hey there" She said as she sat beside me.
"Hi"
"Well gotta say, I'm impressed by your volleyball skills. First on swimming and now…geesh!" She said then laughed. I did too.
"I'm pretty athletic" I said.
Tanya isn't really a brat. I mean, if she is, she won't act like this. She's pretty good.
"So I'm surprised with all these stuffs. I mean, Edward tells me all…and what he did last after party is really not him. No offense but it's weird"
"What's weird with that?"
"Edward gave you a promise ring. He didn't even tell me you two are together. It is less than a week when we first saw you and now…you two are living together. Wow" She said.
"Guess love changes everything" I mumbled.
"I agree" She said.
Then the discussion starts. By the end of it, me and Tanya became friends. Weird huh? But she's bearable…she sometimes says things that offends you but it's easy to let that go.
"See you some other time Bella" She said and smiled at me before going somewhere I don't know where.
I went to the parking lot and saw Edward. He is sitting at the hood of his car, talking with LOTS of girls who keep on giggling.
The picture isn't good. What if someone thought he's a playboy…but who cares? But I still don't like it.
No flirting…he said. I wrote that. We both should do that.
"Hey girls, I think it's time to let go of my baby now" I told them as I went to Edward and hugged him. He kissed my hair then laughed.
"You call him baby?" A girl asked.
"Yeah" I said.
"Well you two are sweeter than the before one…I mean Tanya and Edward" They said and laughed.
"Bye" They all said and went out.
"I like it when you're really acting like my real girlfriend"
"That's because you like me" I teased him.
"We better go home now" He said and opened the passenger's door. I sat there and watched him walked to the driver's seat. He started the engine.
"Me and Tanya are friends now" I said to him and he laughed.
"You? Tanya? You and Tanya? Really? Wow"
"What's unbelievable with that?"
"Tanya don't like girls who are not as rich as she is…she even don't like your look"
"You can't know she don't like my look"
"Trust me with that"
"Well she's nice to me"
"Wonder why" He mumbled and we changed topic.
On our way to home, we talked about why he had to act like that on PE, all I heard from him is…it's going to be in news and everyone will talk about us again and he'll be more popular and his movie would be seen by more fans now.
At home, he cooked for dinner. Pretty impressive for a guy who knows how to cook…the food was delicious and because I'm in the mood, I volunteered on washing the dishes. As I washed the dishes, he made his staffs or whatever put an automatic curtain.
It was past 9 when the house became quiet again. Me and Edward stayed at the living room, doing our assignments. I called Alice and asked how is she. We talked for minutes before I yawned and she told me to go sleep.
"Edward-" I was about to say Goodnight when I saw him sleeping on the couch.
"Ed" I tapped his cheek and he opened his eyes.
"Go upstairs, and sleep there. You'll feel stiff in the morning if you sleep here" I said and he frowned.
"3rd floor is too tiring to walk to. Can't I sleep at your room?"
"And what? Made me sleep here at the couch?"
"We can sleep at your bed"
"I'm not going to sleep beside you" I muttered and he yawned.
"You already did…back at my room when you're in fever"
"Well I'm sleeping that time. I don't know I slept beside you…I had fever!"
"Rule number 46, I can sleep at your bed beside you, go read it…can I sleep now?" He begged.
RULE NUMBER 46? YOU MUST BE KIDDINGME! WHAT KIND OF RULES IS THAT?
I saw him yawned again and his eyes are starting to close again.
"Okay okay, come on" We stood up and went to my room.
I hate his rules…really!
He slept at the right side already. I went to the bathroom and changed into a t-shirt and pajamas again. I checked everything first, the door locks, the windows…everything before going back to my room.
Guess I don't have a choice…I turned off the light and slept beside him.
EPOV
I'm starting to like this deal.
All the rules are silly things she won't expect. It's her fault anyway…she should have read it first before signing it. Now she can't do anything but to let me sleep beside her.
She went out of the room and went back after a couple of minutes. I peeked and saw her in pajamas and t-shirt. She turned off the light and slept beside me, her back facing me.
I waited for minutes before I closed our distance. I wanted to annoy her tonight…I just wanted to make fun of her. She's super cute when she doesn't have any choice left. I wrapped my arm around her waist, pretending I stretched. It's like a bear hug, only that I'm on the back. My lips pressed into her neck…wonder what she'll do…ahhaha. This is so fun!
"Hmmm" I heard her groaned. She must be really tired because she fell asleep already.
I didn't spoke. I pretended to be asleep…
I felt her squirm but my hold is too tight for her to get out.
"Edward…" She yawned. Guess I woke her up.
I closed my eyes and later on, I felt her trying to loosen my hug. But she can't.
"Edward, get off me, wake up!" She said and i didn't move.
I heard her sighed and tried to pull away again but finally she gave up.
"Hate you" She whispered. My cheek pressed into her neck.
"I hate you Edward Cullen" She repeated then yawned.
Minutes later, I opened my eyes…She is already sleeping.
I didn't let go of the hug…it felt like hugging a teddy bear or a pillow.
And the smell of her hair is good too. Like strawberry or something.
"Sorry" I muttered.
"Goodnight Princes" I mumbled and closed my eyes.
Did I mention she looks cute while sleeping? Haha.
BPOV
I woke up at four in the morning, maybe because I'm not used to sleeping with someone who is hugging you. He still had his arm wrapped around me, his lips pressed in my neck.
Seriously? If I didn't know he likes Tanya, I would think he's taking advantage of our deal just to get to know me.
I turned around, expecting his arms to move out. I faced him but his arms are still on the same position.
I didn't have plan on sleeping with him but I don't have any choice.
I suddenly got distracted by his face.
He looks so…hot? Yeah, he looks hot sleeping. I never admitted this before but he is handsome especially when he stares at me. The reason I always let his sorry be okay.
I looked into his lips…I don't know why. Then I remembered all those kisses he did. I shivered and that only caused him to groan and hugged me tighter.
This is the most awkward thing that happened to my life. He hugged me and he even didn't know for he was asleep.
I am cautiously aware that his lips are inches from mine.
I suddenly had this thought of kissing him…
Bella stop! Stop stop stop! This isn't right. Why am I feeling this?
Then he moved and pressed his lip on mine. I closed my eyes and kissed him back softly. I pulled out and opened my eyes.
He's still asleep. Why the heck did I kissed him? Why?
Why does my brain says I should kiss him?…that kissing him, that hugging him felt right.
I don't know. I don't like this. I can't break any rule. I have to stop this…but how?
Maybe Edward just have this connection to girls that made them like him. Maybe…just maybe.
"I'm not going to let myself fall in love with you. You love Tanya" I said.
"And I'm going to help you with that" I said to him.
