Hi once again, to another wonderful chapter of High School Never Ends, A Remake! :D
I hope that in the last chapter, that some of you were semi-happy with Bella's explanation of her past with Joshua. Unlike High School Never Ends, the Original Version, I didn't rush it a bit and I didn't have Bella tell Edward since she vowed to herself to never trust men ever again.
Anyways…
Recap of Chapter 3:
~Bella's secret is now revealed to the girls, and Alice wants revenge on her adoptive brother. What's her plan of revenge? What will happen? How will Edward react to this revenge plan? And, will anyone else ever discover Bella's past? ~
Well, let's see this plan, shall we?
And, for this chapter, we will go inside the mind of Edward! We'll now read the thoughts of this player and what he thinks of Bella so far.
Now, let's begin!
Chapter FOUR
Edward's POV
(The Next Day, after the sleepover…)
The next morning, I woke up with Emmett still snoring from my left and Jasper twisted in his sheets from my right. Rolling my eyes to myself, I stumbled out of my bed and went digging through our dorm mess for some clothes. Finally, I found a blue short sleeved button down shirt with black jeans and left the dorm, heading off to the showers.
As I was showering, I began thinking of Bella. God, Bella… she has been on my mind ever since she arrived to the school. She was an angel – no, a divine goddess – who had fallen from her royal palace in heaven. Cheesy, I know. But that's how I felt about the little tease. She would always wear clothes that clung oh so seductively to her body, showing off those curves of hers.
I wish that I didn't act the way that I did around Jasper, Emmett, and my other friends. I wanted to show Bella what a true gentlemen that I was. I wanted to treat her right, to hold her in my arms and bury my face in those lustrous locks that was her hair. I could get lost in those doe brown eyes that held a fire of hate, but also the spark of happiness when she was with her friends. She had captivated me from when we first met, and already, I wanted to make her mine.
She had the body every woman would envy, and the body that every man desired to touch. I would hold onto those long legs, caress those luscious thighs, kiss her beautiful shoulders, cheeks, and just engulf those full, cherry red lips. I wanted to suck her translucent, ivory neck, taste her fingers and nuzzle those breasts. Everything about her just had my mind in the clouds – and the gutters.
I may want to be a gentleman to her, but I am a man. I can't control most of my thoughts that involve Bella. She was now my every thought, my every dream – everything was about her. I then realized that I only wanted her to have what she needed, what she desired for, and what she deserved. She deserved the best of life, the best of material things – the best of everything, she should get.
I finished showering and got dressed before I headed back to my dorm room. Emmett and Jasper were awake and looking for clean clothes like I had earlier. "Hey, bro." Emmett greeted me when he saw me enter the room. I nodded back to him and sat down on my bed, found my shoes and pulled on some socks while Jasper and Emmett left to go shower. Just as I finished tying up my shoes, my phone began buzzing. I grabbed it, where the caller I.D. said Home.
Huh, weird. Esme or Carlisle rarely called us in the morning. Sighing I opened it, saying, "Hello?"
"Edward Anthony Cullen!" Wincing, I pulled my cell phone away from my ear after I heard Esme's shriek of rage. What got her so mad this time? I pulled the phone back to my ear as I asked, "What did I do this time?"
"Don't act like you don't know why I'm yelling at you, mister! I'm extremely disappointed in you and your brother." She growled. Now it's me and Emmett? Usually she would call us separately if we were both involved.
"Can you please tell me what you're talking about, mom? I don't have a lot of time to hear you yelling at me." I asked her in a calm voice. "I happened to be cleaning this morning and I just looked under your beds. Do you know what I found?" she questioned curtly.
"Um, dust bunnies?" I asked her innocently; I knew that she finally found the Playboy Bunny magazines. "Don't try to sweet talk out of this one, Edward. I found porn magazines! You two are in sooo much trouble when you, Alice and Emmett come home." she growled, while I let her yell at me for a few more minutes. She then said goodbye when I told her that I needed to get to class, while Emmett and Jasper entered the room, wearing their clothes for the day.
"Esme found the magazines." I snarled at Emmett when he entered. "Shit…" he grumbled, looking at the ground. Those weren't mine; they were all Emmett's. He needed some place to hide most of them and just decided to stuff them under my bed back at home. Now I was falling with him for Esme finding those magazines.
After we made sure that we had everything for today, we left the dorm room, heading outside. There, Rosalie, Alice, Angela and Bella were waiting there. Alice wore a white, lacy tube dress that was short, with black leggings underneath and black high heel peep toes shoes that had little black bows on there. She held a white, pleated clutch in her hands, with pearl white earrings in her ears and a lacy black bracelet on her wrist.
Rosalie wore a cashmere and wool mix red dress that was also short for her, with black leggings underneath and red high heels that were also peep toes. She had a bloody red choker necklace around her neck, a red skinny leather bangle dangling from her wrist, and she carried a red leather purse that had gold keys around the black strap of the purse.
Angela wore a white and green striped jersey dress with a green cami shirt underneath and leather zip pocket leggings poking out from the bottom of the short dress, with her green converse semi hidden. On her wrist, a silver banded bangle sat, with green rhinestones encrusted in the metal band.
I saved Bella for last, because in my opinion, she looked absolutely ravishing – again. She wore a Grecian light blue and dark blue mini dress with an icy blue, long strappy tank top underneath it. Along with that, she wore black, leather looking leggings with dark purple high heels. She had a cobalt bangle bracelet on one wrist and around her ivory neck, was a diamond necklace with a large dark blue heart shaped pendant nestled just above her cleavage.
Don't stare. She's not yours... yet.
"Hello again, ladies." Jasper greeted them, crossing his arms over his chest. "You look very sexy today." Emmett added, smiling cheekily over at Rosalie, who gagged and placed her hands on her hips. I smiled my crooked grin over at Bella, whereas she grimaced and glared at me. Ah, I love that little glare that she had. She looked like a little kitten trying to act tough.
"Well, I hope you enjoyed the little phone call from mom, Eddie." Alice sneered at me, smirking. How did she know about that? "Alice, do you know why I got a phone call from mom?" I asked her, my smile disappearing and being replaced by a glare.
"Oh, let's just say that a little birdie told them about your magazines." Alice told me, waving her fingers individually at me. "So you told them?" Emmett grumbled, glaring down at the tiny pixie of evil. "It's just our way of revenge on you, Eddie." Rosalie told me menacingly, using the same nickname that Alice used on me. Damn her and her nicknames for us…
"Revenge? Revenge for what?" I asked them; what did I do that gets me punished for magazines that I didn't even own? Bella huffed angrily and stomped away with Angela following after her, sending deadly daggers my way. What the hell was all that about?
"Remember Edward? Yesterday afternoon, during lunch? In the hallway with Bella?" Alice asked me hotly, clenching her fists tightly together. Oh, that… Wait, how in the hell did they find out?!
"How the hell did you find out about that? And for the last damn time, I was only joking around! It was just some little teasing!" I growled, glaring down at Alice. "Bella told us about it!" Alice hissed, now standing mere inches from my face, standing on her toes. "Well, she should've known it was just little teasing!" I hissed back, not backing down.
"To you, it may seem like teasing. But to Bella, it wasn't. You just put her through a difficult position. She doesn't want to go through it aga –" Rosalie had pulled Alice back when she was about to say something, and glared at Alice. "Do not tell this bastard anything. Bella would never forgive us if we were to spill that." Rosalie hissed to Alice, who now looked ashamed. "Sorry; he pushed it and wouldn't let it go." Alice said remorsefully back, looking down at the ground sadly. Rosalie nodded and hugged her.
"Um, care to enlighten us as to what you two are talking about?" Emmett asked, breaking the two apart. "Like we would ever tell you three." Alice growled at Emmett. Arm in arm, Rosalie and Alice walked away from us without a backwards glance.
"I'm so lost…" Jasper muttered, scratching his head. "Me too." Emmett grumbled. "Me three." I stated, shaking my head.
Who knows what Alice would've said if Rosalie hadn't pulled her back. I guess us guys are going to be left in the dark…

Bella's POV
"Ugh, damn freaking, no good for nothing little…" I growled to myself as I laid my head on the table top of one of the many cafeteria tables for lunch. Rosalie, Alice, Angela and another girl that we had just recently met, Jessica who had long dark curly hair with dark eyes, all surrounded me. Jessica understood my anger, for she was also facing the same player ways of Mike, one of Edward's many friends of the school.
"Just forget about my idiot brother, Bells. He needs to be left in the dark so he can suffer his punishment from my parents." Alice assured me, smiling an evil smile. "Seriously, I think it's really disgusting that he has those kinds of magazines under his bed." Jessica added, shaking her head in disgust. "Ditto." Angela agreed, rolling her eyes.
"I swear we need to do something about these boys." Rosalie muttered, leaning slightly back and crossing her arms. "Care to share, Rose?" I asked her, slowly lifting my head slightly. "I think all of the girls should band together against the boys." She explained, smirking at the thought. "Like forbidden fruit or something." Alice added, laughing. "Thing is, I doubt every girl would agree to going against the boys." Jessica pointed out, sighing.
"I have to agree with her. These boys know how to charm a girl, and some girls may fall for their cheesy pick up lines." Angela stated, narrowing her eyes into slits. "They have a point." I told Rosalie and Alice. "It would still be cool." Alice muttered, smirking now. "Plus, if they have enough reason, then all of the girls will be able to go against the guys." Rosalie added, smiling smugly now.
"We need to give them enough reason that will get them extremely angry at the guys." I suggested, shaking my head. "Actually, all we have to do is just let things fall into place." Alice said, sitting up straighter. "What do you mean?" Jessica asked, while we all leaned in closer towards Alice.
"The guys are already players. So, if we just leave things be, then all of the boys of the whole school are likely to start flirting with every girl in the school. The first girl will have a guy flirt with her, and then one by one, each new girl will see the guy flirting with a different girl each day. Eventually, every girl will avoid the guys, and that's when we can take action and band together as one against the guys." Alice explained, looking around the cafeteria.
"Does that mean we have to let the guys flirt with us?" Jessica asked, huffing slightly at the idea of having guys flirt with us. "We'll have to see where this will go. If it comes to that, then yes." Alice amended, sighing quietly.
"Alright, so our future plan is set into place?" I asked, placing my hand in the middle of our circular group huddle thing. Rosalie placed her hand on top of mine, and then Alice did the same like Rosalie. Angela and Jessica followed and there, we silently said, "girls rule" and raised our hands just a fraction into the air before we leaned away, pulling our hands back.
"I believe that the freshman and sophomores – both boys and girls – are likely to fall into this future war with us." I stated, placing my crossed arms onto the table top. "Yeah, I think boys – freshman and sophomore – are probably copying the older students. That means they're likely to be players too." Rosalie added, chuckling to herself. "So, that means we also need to include freshman and sophomore girls into this war." Alice finished, smiling.
"We need all ages to join in on this war. When it comes to this, we should hold meetings in our dorm lounge, which is like extremely huge." Jessica said, spreading out her arms for effect. We laughed and agreed. "Maybe we should also involve other girls. That way, maybe we could convince future girls that aren't so sure about this plan." Angela suggested.
"I agree." I began, thinking to myself. "And I think I just know the perfect four girls who could help us…" I trailed off, smiling.
---
"So, this plan of yours might be held in the future?" a girl with the same length of brown locks like mine, but with bright blue eyes, asked me wearily. She wore a red and black plaid tank top of sorts, with a black layered ruffled skirt and red tights to match the top. On her feet were knee high black Chuck Taylor Converse, while a dark navy blue beanie hat was placed over her brown hair; on one of her fingers sat a black ring, with a heart was molded into the ring.
"This plan will be against the guys of the school," a girl that was like an exact copy of the first girl, continued, looking at me, her black, squared framed glasses sliding down her nose. She wore a long, icy blue tunic with green tights that went up to her thighs disappearing into the shirt. (She had shorts on from underneath.) On her feet were black Converse that stopped before her ankles, while a gold, vintage necklace that had the pendant shaped into a heart, sat on the pale skin of her neck.
"And, you need all the help that you can get," a girl that had russet skin, long and raven black hair that was pulled back into a ponytail, continued next, sitting on another couch and next to the second girl. She wore a purple flannel shirt with a lacy ruffled skirt, and black leggings were poking out from her skirt, just ending before her purple Converse. A large purple flower ring sat on one of her fingers, while in her ears were purple flower shaped earrings.
"So you're asking us for your help, because we each don't like men for now, and if there are any disbelievers in this plan, you want us to convince them otherwise?" the last girl who looked short, with brown hair that came up to her shoulders, finished last. She wore a bright red, cap sleeved t-shirt with high-waisted buttoned shorts, and bright red Converse. She wore fingerless red and black striped gloves with a studded black and red wristband on one wrist, and a ring that sat on a finger had the designs from the symbols on play cards – heart, spade, shamrock and a diamond.
I nodded to confirm each of their accusations to our plan, hoping that they'll help us. "Please, Lily," I begged quietly, turning to the first girl. "Please, Rischè," I continued, begging the second girl who looked like Lily's twin. "Please, Melantha," I begged the girl that was sitting next to Rischè and the last girl. "And please, Des." I ended, looking pleadingly at the last girl.
"We need as many girls we can gather to help support us with this plan. Come on, I know that you guys can get pretty annoyed with most boys." I pointed out, looking back at Lily. "Well, you do have a point there, Bells." Lily said, giggling lightly. "So, will you help us?" I asked all them.
"I think you got our vote." Rischè stated happily, laughing. "Does this mean we get to pull pranks on all of the guys?" Des asked me mischievously, clasping her hands together like what an evil villain would do in movies. "Harmless pranks, Des." Melantha told her, smirking. Des snapped her fingers in defeat, grumbling, "Damn…"
"Great, thank you so much!" I exclaimed, hugging Lily fiercely.
"Ha ha, you're welcome, Bells." Lily told me, patting my back.
"So, when should we start spreading the word, Bella?" Rosalie asked, walking over to our group and sitting on the ground by my feet. Alice skipped in and sat on the arm rest of the couch, while Angela followed Rosalie's example and Jessica just stood behind the couch.
"In a bit. We could probably recruit more girls later on, but for now, let's get to class. Afternoon break is over." I grumbled, clenching my fists together when I realized that it was time for 8th period. "Time to face the idiotic boy, Bella." Angela teased me lightly, wrapping her arm around mine. I laughed along with her.
We walked into Biology and there, I saw that Edward was being pestered by a girl. She was as tall as me, with tanned skin, dirty blond hair that was straight and had long and large, grey fish bugging eyes. She wore a bright hot pink knit tunic that had the sleeves as lacy and see-through. Since she was bending over, she had extremely short dark shorts just peeking out from her tunic. She also had pink sling-back, opened toe high heels that had ruffles on the strap of the back of the shoe, and ruffles in front of the shoes. Her lips were bright, hot pink and jutting out at Edward's face, while her long hot pink manicured nails were drawing lazy circles on the biology lab table top.
Angela went to her table while I went to mine and sat down, acting as if the girl and Edward, weren't there. "So, Edward, I was wondering. Since you're so smart, maybe you could tutor me, back at your dorm room that is." The girl suggested; I could easily detect the double meaning in the seemingly suggestion.
Apparently, so could Edward. He grimaced and dropped his head, looking down at his lap instead of the girl, who was pushing her chest towards his face. I smirked; serves him right. Now he's getting pestered by random fan girls. He now knows how I felt about him following me.
"Lauren," Edward began his voice steely. So, this girl's name was Lauren, eh? "I can't tutor you. I have baseball practice later on this week." He continued, still not looking up. "Aw, can't you just ditch?" Lauren asked pleadingly, making me snort quietly. Both Edward and Lauren looked over at me when I snorted, but ignored me.
"I can't miss baseball practices, Lauren. The coach has a strict rule about that, and if I'm not at baseball practice, then he'll kick me off the team." Edward told her, his voice sounding strained. I chanced my luck, and glanced over at him. He looked really nervous, trying to find a distraction or anything that may make Lauren leave.
I again snorted from this, whereas only Lauren looked over at me, completely annoyed at my presence. Finally, she gave up and retreated to her seat while Mr. Lysol entered the classroom. He began the lesson while we had to take notes, and there, a note thudded into my arm. I took it and read what was written on there.
You could've helped me in that situation, you know.
Ugh, here we go again. More notes. If I get caught again, I swear, Edward will wish he would've never met me. I quickly wrote my reply back, making sure that Mr. Lysol hadn't seen it.
Why would I help you? After all that you have done to me for the past few days, why should I save you from your new admirers? Now, leave me alone.
He read over it, sighing quietly before he wrote back a reply.
It would've been nice.
I scowled down at the paper and wrote back angrily.
This is coming from the guy who nearly raped me.
He lowered his head, while he scowled at his lap. He wrote back a reply, with angry scrawls. Ha, I got him mad.
How many times do I have to tell you that it was a little teasing?
I clenched my hands into fists; thankfully, I didn't have anything breakable in my hands. I wrote my reply back, just as angrily, before I nearly slammed it in front of him.
To you, it may have been teasing, but in my book, that's called forcible rape or sexual assault. Now, keep those dirty hands away from me, or you'll be facing my Chief of the Police father who will place handcuffs on you gleefully.
His reaction to my threat sure got him to stop passing notes with me. The class passed by slowly, and eventually, we left the classroom. Angela and I walked over to the art room, to see that the class and the art teacher were standing outside. "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's head off to the gymnasium. My classroom is under construction since someone had destroyed the walls and the ceiling – how, I don't know – and now, we'll join in on P.E. today." She explained, sighing and shaking her head.
She then waved her hands, ushering us off to the Gym. Coach Clapp informed us to change into our gym clothes that we kept in our lockers, and he let us have a free period today. I walked over to Coach Clapp's office, knocking on the door. "Come in." he grunted from inside. I pushed open the door and he looked up at me. "Yes, Miss Swan?" he asked, placing his papers down on his desk.
"Can I go outside? I just want to walk around a bit." I told him, biting my lip in worry. What if he said no? I really just needed to be away from everyone right now. "Sure. Just make sure you come back in when the bell rings." He told me, smiling kindly. I guess Coach Clapp wasn't that bad of a man. I said my thanks and left his office, jogging towards the gym's doors that led outside, to the track field.
I ran to the track and began walking leisurely, my arms behind me. I looked around me, nothing staying on anything in particular. My mind began to wonder off on its own for no reason. Today was just another day for me – school work, avoiding Edward, talking to my friends, avoiding Edward, doing work, and did I mention avoiding Edward?
Ugh, that boy just annoys me to no end. What with his five year old immature attitude, his little "teasing", his friends, that cocky grin of his, who would not be annoyed by him? I'll tell you – Lauren and other blind girls who couldn't see Edward's player or at least disgusting perverted ways. They probably think he's the new, modern Adonis of this school. With those thoughts running through those girls' minds, no wonder why Edward's ego is so big.
When Lauren was talking with Edward back in Biology, I felt absolutely amused. I can imagine Edward chasing after that kind of girl. Blond, airheaded, and dresses in skimpy, revealing clothes. The outfit just smelled like, "I'm-a-piece-of-meat". I believe that Lauren is just a tad bit boy-crazy…
But, just thinking about Edward going after a girl who actually looks like Lauren, it made my stomach drop, and my heart… ache? What the hell? I never really felt like this before. Well I did when I knew Joshua and before he cheated on me and actually cared about me. My whole body was saddened when Joshua would "accidently" stare at another girl other than me. It made me feel unwanted, unloved, and ugly that Joshua wouldn't look at me like that. Of course, he did look at me like that before he raped me…
I then realized what this stomach wrenching and heart breaking feeling was – lack of self confidence in me, and depressingly sadness/heartbreak. I never really thought myself as breathtaking, gorgeous, lovely, beautiful, hot, sexy, or even pretty. None of those words would describe what I really was; ugly, hideous, disgusting, a monstrosity, repulsive, vomiting. That's all I was to Joshua. And that's how he had treated me.
I wiped the back of my hand across my eyes when I felt the tears begin to fall from my eyes. See? I was causing myself self-depression from thinking of these descriptive words that were me. Now I believe that that isn't suppose to help you gain self confidence.
Sighing to myself, I continued on with my walk around the track while my mind continued wandering on its own. Unfortunately, my mind went back to thinking about Edward.
I started to think about the semi-positive things about Edward. His charmingly good looks, that bronze bed hair, those hypnotizing emerald hues that held many emotions at once. His well muscled forearms, his strong looking torso, that deep, velvety and alluring voice that he held. Just everything about him was so perfect, that I wanted to be near him for some strange reason. I couldn't understand why I would feel this way as of now, when that boy will be the death of me for his idiotic teasing ways and his almost forcible rape on me…
"Bella!" Oh great; speak of the devil and he shall appear. I stopped my walking, as I heard him approach me.
I wonder what he wants?
ANNNNNND END! XD
Ha-ha, left you at a cliffy, didn't I? :)
