Another chapter. I wrote this quickly without knowing where i was going so maybe not the best. but hope you like it!

It was Tuesday. Day after Monday. Enough said. But school went by pretty quickly before lunch because I couldn't wait to get into the cafeteria and rip Edward's head off. Literally. I was still just as pissed.
Although, I had gotten a couple laughs in Government when I saw Mike Newton's face. It just looked, well, like shit. Every time I pictured his face in my head I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud. It was finally time that someone put him into his place and took him off that high horse of his. He was always chasing what he couldn't have, including me, and there was no way I was going to feel pity for his broken nose.
Then lunch came around. And I actually started getting nervous. Because of course I was one of those people who could be angry with the wrath of a million PMSing girls, (yeah, Edward. Aren't you happy I learned something?) but never say a word or even twitch when I was feeling it. Then I let out a big sigh. There was no way I was going to be able to yell at Edward Cullen in front of the whole lunch room so either I confronted him alone or not at all.
And somehow, a couple minutes later, I ended up hiding in an empty classroom with the lights off just waiting for Edward to walk by. I knew Edward would walk by because he had history before lunch and he would have to pass this hallway. I knew he had history because, like the stalker I am, just a little, I had gotten his schedule from Ms. Wolf and was ready to pounce on my prey when it went by.
Finally, an hour later, okay, so only a couple minutes later, but when you're in a dark room bored out of your mind it can feel like an hour, I saw Edward coming down the hall. I was getting ready to drag him into the room when I noticed Jessica walking right next to him laughing. Laughing her flirting laugh. The fake one to seem like she was interested when all she was interested in was getting into his pants.
Damn her. I couldn't do it. I couldn't just pull him into the room with her right next to him and honestly, I didn't want to anymore. I was feeling betrayed. Alright, so I kinda expected it from Jessica because she had a one track mind no matter who her friends were interested in or if the guy wasn't available, but Edward? Really? I knew he used girls all the time but I thought maybe, I don't know, he'd keep it in his pants just for a while?
Once they passed the hallway, and rounded a corner, I closed the door and bolted it. I needed to be alone. I slid down, my back to the door, and started crying. I wasn't sure what for. I mean, Edward and I weren't even friends but somehow, I felt like I had been cheated. And it sucked.

Okay, so I was leaving history when Jessica all of a sudden popped up in front of me, blocking my way to the door being the bitch she is, and started talking really fast. I mean really fast. I even had to tell her to slow down, it wasn't like she was bidding off some collector's item or anything. And then she started talking about Bella.
"You know, I really think she likes you. She doesn't know it yet but I can see it. You should try and be a little nicer to her Edward. And she's… innocent. So don't fuck with her. Or I'll fuck with you."
Did Jessica really just say that? Like she could hurt me. But then again, there was a double meaning in those words. She meant fuck me up, like I had done to Mike Newton, but she also meant fuck me, like ride me senseless. Needless to say, Jessica was a shameless girl.
As she was blabbering on some more down the hallway to the cafeteria, I noticed some movement behind one of the empty classroom doors. I swear I saw a backpack, the same exact one as Bella's and I was curious. I decided I would follow Jessica to lunch and pretend to go sit with Jasper just to get her to fuck off, but then I would come back and investigate. After all, lunch was fucking boring as hell and there was no way I was going to eat cafeteria "food."
Once I got rid of Stanley I nodded at Jasper and walked away. It's not like he cared where I was going so he didn't bother to follow. I then retraced my steps back to where I had seen the movement and tried to open the door of the classroom.
It was locked. Strange… I swear someone had been in there. I was about to go back to lunch when the door opened.

Oh. My. God. This could NOT be happening. Of all the freaking people who could find me blotchy-eyed and teary it HAD to be Edward Cullen. The one person I was crying about! Then he did something I wasn't expecting. He didn't say anything or leave. He just closed the door behind him and hugged me. Fucking hugged me. And started rubbing my back, soothingly.
And I almost forgot why I had been crying. And I almost forgot why I had been so angry at him before. Oh right. Because he blew me off. Then I let him have it.
"Get your hands off me!" I roughly shoved his hands away and sniffled again. Fucking crying, made your nose runny as hell and didn't help my angry act one bit.
"What the hell? Bella, are you okay?"
"No. You blew me off yesterday. Of course I'm not okay."
"Is that why you're crying?"
Yes. That is exactly why I am crying. Because I was hoping there was some little chance that you might actually be interested in me and like me despite our complete differences and ugh. No I didn't tell him that. Of course not.
"No. I'm just having a… bad day."
"Okaaay. Want to talk about it?"
EPOV
So I knew I was being supersensitive here and probably fucking scary because I was asking Bella about her feelings, but I couldn't help it. The way her wet curls, because of her tears, fell across her face. She reminded me of Esme. And I couldn't have Esme crying. And I couldn't have Bella crying. I just would not allow it.
Then I remembered Newton. I vaguely remembered seeing him in the halls following her, trying to grope her ass sometimes so I decided I would tell her about his fucked up situation. Maybe it would cheer her up to know another asshole like me was getting what he deserved.
"Have you seen Mike Newton today?"
And she just burst out laughing. She was laughing so hard her body was shaking and she sank down to the floor trying to regain her breath. I swore I even heard her snort a couple of times. Okay, so not the reaction I was expecting. But anything was better than Bella crying.
Once she regained her breath, she made an attempt to talk but still was laughing so I had to wait a little while longer till she really regained her breath. And she said:
"So, you've seen his face too? It looks pretty bad. I just wish I could shake the person's hand who did it and thank them. He got what he deserved."
So I couldn't restrain myself, I stuck out my hand waiting for her to shake it.
"It's okay Edward. I forgive you for not shaking my hand the first time tutoring. I wasn't expecting much. That's not why I was crying, if that's what you were thinking."
And I just chuckled. Because she had it all wrong. She though I was trying to make up for last Friday but really, I was waiting for her gratitude for fucking Mike Newton up.
"No. This is for fucking up Mike Newton. You did say you wanted to shake the hand that did the deed. The very hand to be exact."
And at that moment, I turned my hand over, just in case she didn't believe me, so she could see my knuckles. They were still a bit swollen and red and her jaw just dropped open. She hesitantly brought her hand up to mine and let her soft fingers slide over the palm of my hand and I could swear I felt some type of shock. It made me wince a little but it was probably just the pain of a fracture in one of my knuckles. Fucking Newton.
Okay. so i kinda left it there because i actually have other work to do ;) Once again, shout out to all my fellow Twilight lovers and people who actually give my story the time of day! 3 Plus... if anyone has any ideas about where this should go please feel free to send me a message. I don't know where it's going but I will definitely figure it out but if anyone has any suggestions or things they would really want to see incorporated let me know :) Plus... thanks for the reviews!!!! Now I've resorted to squealing AND jumping up and down for joy!
