The Confrontation

After dinner, I decided to go to bed early. Being angry and frustrated can really wear a person out. Even though I was working hard on trying to move on, I still had nightmares of that night. I may be alright on the outside, but in my head and in my heart, I'm still in pain. I still feel guilty forgetting Aiden killed. Sometimes I wished he had never met me. He would still be alive if he never met me. The entire time I'm asleep, I keep seeing Aiden's body, mauled and bloody. That image will haunt me until the day I die. I saw Ulf, Greggory, and Finn killing Aiden again in the same nightmare, only it seemed longer.

"AIDEN!!" I screamed and sat up straight from my bed, covered in sweat.

It was morning, I checked the alarm clock, it read 6:00 am and then the alarm went off. I heard footsteps rushing to my room. Aunt Hope slammed the door open and looked frantic.

"Vivie, are you alright? I heard you screaming."

"I'm ok, Aunt Hope, it was just a dream."

"I'm sorry, sweety. Was it the same dream you've been having?" Aunt Hope knows all about my dreams of what happened that night.

I always woke up screaming, but Aunt Hope would always come into my room asking if I'm alright. She's always so concerned about me.

"Yeah. I'm sorry. I can't help it. I know I have to try to move on but it's so hard! I can't forget about what happened."

"You mean you won't let yourself forget what happened. I'm actually not saying you should forget, but you have to try to move on. The nightmares, the screaming, the guilt, it's all just hurting you. You can't suffer like this."

"I know. I'm trying, believe me I am. I just need some time."

"I know, Vivie, and you know I'm here for you if you ever need me." she kissed my cheek and hugged me.

I don't know what I would do if I didn't have Aunt Hope in my life. She always knows what to say and what to do; my life would just suck without her.

"Now you have to get ready for school. You have a mission today." she said with an amused tone in her voice.

"Oh crap that's right! Ok I'm going in the shower!" I yelled as I was running to the bathroom.

I was not going to tolerate another day of Edward Cullen's death glares. He needs to know that I am not some weak little wallflower who's too shy or scared to stand up to the likes of him. After my shower, I blow-dried my hair, got dressed, put on a little make-up and ate some cereal. I was ready. I can just hear Eye Of The Tiger playing in my head like I was getting ready for the fight of my life. I just laughed at the thought; I wouldn't go that far thinking that this was the most important thing in the world because Edward's really not worth it. I just want to set him straight, and from the look of things, not many people have the balls to even talk to the Cullens. I don't know why though, it's not like they're aliens...or are they? That would be pretty funny if that's what people think.

Aunt Hope came downstairs dressed for work at the local grocery store. She smiled at me as she was having a bowl of cereal also. I was done with mine, so I rinsed off my bowl and started walking out the door.

"I'm going to school and kick some ass." I said to her as I was leaving.

"Have fun, give him hell." Aunt Hope casually replied to me.

I was driving to school, listening to Legal Assassin from the Repo! The Genetic Opera Soundtrack. I have the windows down and the music turned up loud as I am singing the lyrics at the top of my lungs not caring who saw. As I pulled into the school parking lot, everyone couldn't help but stare at me since I was blasting the kickass song really loud. When I parked in what I claimed as my space, I was singing the last lines of the song;

KEEN INCISIONS, I DELIVER!

UNSCATHED ORGANS, I DELIVER

REPOSSESSIONS, I DELIVER!

I'M THE REPO, LEGAL ASSASSIN!

"Fuck, I love that song!" I yelled.

Repo is only one of the best movies ever! I turned off the music and the car, I rolled up my windows and locked up the car and went on my merry old way to class. Everyone was still staring at me, probably because of my loud music. Good, let them stare. They need to hear and know some awesome music anyway. All my morning classes went by like a breeze, smooth and quick. Then it was time for lunch. I walked into the cafeteria, and lo and behold, the Cullen and the Hales were there. Only there were four of them. Edward wasn't there. As I walked to the line to get some food, the Fab Four, as I have now nicknamed the four unavailable Cullens/Hales, were staring at me. The blonde chick, Rosalie, was giving me a bit of a glare. So I looked back at her, subtly holding my arms up like I was saying "What, bitch?! You wanna start something?" She rolled her eyes and looked away. Yeah that's what I thought, Blondie. At least I can show one of them who dare to give me those looks that I don't take shit from anyone.

I sat with Mike, Jessica, Angela, Eric, and Tyler again after I got my food. After lunch, I walked to my Biology class. Who knows? He might have just skipped lunch and came for class. But when I walked into the classroom, his seat was empty! What the fuck?! My first thought would have been that he was probably sick, but after yesterday and the fact that he's not here today just really pissed me off! I can't believe it, he didn't bother trying to talk to me at all yesterday, he just looked at me as if I was some kind of parasite, then the bastard doesn't even show up to school so he wouldn't be around me! After school, I drove home, more pissed off than ever because he's obviously too much of a coward to show up and tell me to my face what his problem is with me. Well he can't hide forever.

One week Later

Damn, I guess he can hide forever. It's been a week and Edward, or Dickhead as I like to call him, still hasn't shown up for school. I still had my anger but, I was also happy that I didn't have to put up with him. I drove to school listening to my Repo soundtrack again, what can I say? I'm obsessed with the movie and the music. We Started This Opera Shit just ended as I parked my car. I locked up my car and who do I see on the other side of the lot? Edward fucking Cullen and his family...staring at me. Seriously, what the hell is with these Cullens and staring at me?! I guess the shirt I decided to wear was very appropriate: "Keep Staring At Me.....I Might Do A Trick". Damn it, just when I was relieved I wouldn't have to put up with him anymore, he fuckin shows up!

He's standing next to what I assume to be his car, a nice silver Volvo. It was a nice looking car, but totally wussy looking compared to my kickass Chevelle. The rest of the Cullens were standing next to what I guess was their cars: a yellow Porsche, a red BMW, and a big ass Jeep Wrangler. I looked away and walked to class, confident and still determined to rip Edward a new asshole. I would have done it in the parking lot right then and there but I wanted to wait until Biology, so I can really catch him in the act.

The classes breezed by again until it was lunch time. I walked in the cafeteria and there is the Dickhead himself, sitting at that same table with his family. I paid for my lunch and sat with my new friends. Over the week I was getting to know Jess, Angie, Eric, Mike, and Tyler. They are actually pretty fun people, I got along the most with Angela or Angie as I came to call her. She was definitely someone I can trust, and she's just a very likeable person. She can be a little shy but she's not super quiet or a loner. She just needs to break out of her shell a bit. Jessica's a nice girl, but I know I most likely can't trust her with secrets since she's a bit of a gossip girl. The guys are pretty cool, Mike seems to have a bit of a crush on me but it's nothing I can't handle. Besides, I think Jessica likes him. Eric likes flirting with me but nothing serious, we both just play-flirt with each other. He calls me "Boo" and I call him "Boo Boo", Tyler and I both like talking about cars and music. I even influenced him to watch Repo and listen to the soundtrack, now he's almost as obsessed as I am.

"Vivian, Edward Cullen's staring at you." Jessica whispered to me as I was eating.

"So? Does he look angry?" I asked back, not really surprised that he was most likely glaring at me.

"No not at all. Why?"

"Because last week on my first day, he was giving me death glares all through Biology class. He was an asshole." I said the last loud enough for him to hear me.

"Well don't worry, the Cullens don't like anybody. And he's still staring at you."

"This is nothing against you Jess, but you have me mistaken for somebody who gives a shit. He obviously doesn't like me and I really don't like him."

"Will you just look at how he's staring at you?" She was not going to let this go until I did what she said.

"Ok, fine." I turned and looked at him, and he was staring at me.

Not in the firestarter way that he did before, but in a more curious way. Like he was trying to figure me out.

I was a little weirded out that he didn't look at me the way he did before. But that doesn't mean I'm letting Edward off the hook that easily. After lunch, I walked into my Biology class, and his seat was empty. Typical, I knew he didn't change. But apparently I spoke too soon, because as soon as I sat down, he walked in. Of course he looked sexy as hell, but that was way beside the point. I didn't even look at him just yet, so I pulled out one of Aiden's graphic novels that he made. I was about to lose myself in his beautiful illustrations of The Lady Of The Lake when to my surprise, I heard a deep smooth voice speak to me.

"Hello." I turned to look at him and he's still sitting far away from me like I was the friggin plague, but he was facing me.

"My name is Edward Cullen. I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last week, you must be Vivian Gandillon."

Dude am I being Punk'd? Or is Edward Cullen actually being civil to me? I just scoffed at him.

"What is it?" he asked me.

"You. 'I didn't have the chance to introduce myself last week', are you fuckin kidding me?

Maybe the only reason you didn't 'have the chance' was because you were too busy giving me the firestarter death glares for no good reason to even try to introduce yourself to me. Boy you've got some nerve." Damn that felt good!

"I understand I've upset you-" he tried to tell me but I cut him off.

"Damn skippy you've upset me. You don't even know me and you were looking at me like I was lower than the dog crap beneath your shoes, that is not ok." Man I was on a roll. he's not getting off easy.

Edward looked stunned at everything I had to say, good.

"I'm sorry for my behavior last week. I wasn't feeling well."

"Oh please, don't give me that lame ass excuse. 'I wasn't feeling well', you don't use that excuse after you give someone dirty looks for no reason. What did you have, an asshole tumor?" He was silent.

It felt really good finally telling him off. After that, Mr. Banner explained to us the lab we were to do during class. We had to label the right slides of onion root tip cells.

"Ladies first." Edward said.

"Flattery will get you nowhere."

We just went back and forth labeling the slides as 'Prophase', 'Anaphase', etc. It went on like that until Edward tried speaking to me again.

"I really am sorry for the way I acted. There's no excuse for the way I treated you last week."

"How about when you left for a whole week? Or even better, why the hell were you trying to switch science classes last week?"

If he thinks I'm going to forgive him just like that, he has another thing coming. He didn't have an answer, he just had a guilty look on his face but that wasn't enough for me to forgive him.

"That's what I thought. Look Cullen, I don't know what the hell your problem is with me, but I'm not going to forgive you just because you say you're 'sorry'. You got a problem with me, be a man and say it to my face. It's better than trying to change classes and just skipping town altogether like a little bitch." Once again he was stunned. I guess I really am the first person to stand up to him like that.

After class was over, I quickly gathered my stuff together and rushed out the door. Soon, Edward was walking next to me.

"What?! Can't you take a hint? Piss off."

"Vivian, listen to me. I am really sorry. I can't explain why I did those things, but I feel really guilty for what I did, and for the way I treated you. You have every right to be angry. How about we start over?"

"You really think that's going to solve anything?"

"No but I would like to make it up to you. Please."

Damn it, why does he have to keep on trying to persuade me? I should stay mad at him, but I guess everyone deserves a second chance. Goddamn it!

"Ugh! Ok fine, we can start over. But I swear, if you pull that crap with me again, there won't be another chance. I have no problem kicking your sorry ass 'til Sunday."

"Deal." He said with a relieved tone in his voice.

"Just don't make me regret it."

"You won't." He assured me with a very sexy crooked smile.

"Hey are you wearing contacts?" I asked, finally noticing the different color in his eyes.

"No." he replied a little puzzled by my question.

"Well it's just that last week, your eyes were really dark, like black, and now they're like this kind of gold-brownish color." He now had this frown on his face and just walked off.

"Whatever." I murmured to myself. Strange guy that Edward. Very strange.

I was lost in my thoughts as I was walking toward the stairs outside that lead to the parking lot. But when I heard a familiar voice far behind me. A voice I never thought I would hear again, that made me stop in my tracks and brought unwanted shivers up my spine.

"Well lookie what we have here! This is our Queen Bitch, the leader to our Age of Hope?!"

I slowly turned around to face the owner of the voice. Everyone in the hall stood still, staring at him.

Ulf.
