When the final bell rang I was running to the parking lot. Nessie had beat me there. I threw my backpack into the back and removed the dog tag. I tucked it into my bag and then grabbed a ponytail holder. I used it to put my hair into a bun and then clipped my bangs back out of my face. I was leaning against the car with my arms crossed. Jake and Seth noticed my demeanor and hurried toward us. "You ready for this?" Nessie asked. I looked and I noticed she had switched her ballet flats for a pair of Nikes. I nodded and tossed her a pony tail holder. She pulled her hair back in a ponytail. Taylor had switched her outfit for a pair of P.E. sweats and tennis shoes. She walked over and stood with two of her minions behind her. "I only got one rule! Don't touch my hair! You do and you will lose so much of yours that you'll have to shave your head!" I spit. My hair was my lifeline and nobody touched it. "Fine! What about her?" She asked. She was afraid of Nessie but she was trying not to show it. "She isn't gonna do nuthin! She just ma back up!" I drawled. I was ready for this fight. I had been since I started here last year. She only messed with me when my brother aka my dad was nowhere to be seen. She nodded and I stood up off the car. A crowd was gathering and she smiled. I hoped she knew she was about to get her ass kicked. I heard the car engine before I saw it. My parents were here with my uncle Peter. They climbed out and came and sat on the hood of my car. "Beat her ass baby girl!" Peter drawled. He was enjoying this. I cracked my knuckles and balled my fists. "Ready?" I asked. She nodded and moved a little closer. I kept my fists at my side until she swung. I ducked left under her arm and gave a straight shot to her face. She growled and grabbed my hair. "What the fuck?!" I growled. I forgot that my parent were there and lost it. She yanked my hair from the bun but not from the ponytail. I punched her hard and she let go. I was wailing on her when somebody yanked me backwards by the hair. I spun on her friend and started fighting her too. Ness jumped in and took care of the girl. Taylor cracked me good in the mouth and I felt my lip bust. I inhaled deep and put all my power behind my last punch. I heard a sickening crunch and Taylor scream as I broke her nose. She hit the ground and her head cracked against the cement. Nessie was still beating the crap out of the other girl so I turned to the last. "You wanna jump in too?" I asked. She glared at me but made no move to fight. "Nessie! Enough!" My mom said. Nessie stopped and turned to walk away. Without thinking I punched the girl who tried to sucker punch my cousin. She screamed and stepped back. "She said enough Belle Emilie Whitlock!" My dad spit. "Don't you ever try to sucker punch my cousin! That's a bitch move! You're lucky my brother said enough or else I would do you like I did Taylor!" I spit. I stepped away and got into the car. I felt my lip as it swelled but ignored it. Seth was looking at me weird. "What?" I asked. "You're cute when you're angry!" He said. I couldn't stopped the blush that crept over my cheeks. A trait I got from my mother. My parents were behind us and I could hear my uncle laughing. I grabbed my bag and got out of the car. "Living room Belle!" My father said. The entire family was in the living room. I got chewed out about my language and then my dad played the video of the fight for everyone. "Ooooh! Damn belle! I didn't know you had it in you!" My uncle Emmett laughed. My aunt rose smacked him and I frowned. Nobody knew I had it in me because I wasn't Jazzy. I didn't have the confidence she had. Or the beauty. My uncle Edward growled and had my face in his hands holding me there. "Don't you ever think that again! Do you understand?!" He hissed. I nodded and whispered a soft yes before he released me. My dad glared at him but didn't say anything. "Come on Bee! Let go for a hunt!" Nessie said. I nodded and stood following her out with the boys behind me.
