So, you take it back now? (Editing)

Chapter 4 - I'm in control

"So" Caleb started once I was settled in my seat "that was some kiss"

I looked up at Caleb, surprised that he was talking to me. Honestly I figured we'd just pretend it never happened.

"Oh, yeah... about that..." I muttered as a slight blush creeped up my neck.

Caleb laughed, "no worries, I actually liked it, maybe we could do it again sometime?"

I let out a small chuckle "are you trying to pick me up?"

Caleb shrugged, "Depends, is it working?" 

I let out another laugh. "Only if you agree to buy me dinner first!"

Caleb laughed and then was quick to agree. "Friday at 7. Good?" 

"Great!"

What are you doing? my wolfs voice filled my brain. 

She was mad, she didn't like that I was gonna go out with Caleb. 

I'm having a life, Connor rejected me, more then once!

If my wolf had eyes she would be rolling them right now, that I was sure of!

So, he made a mistake! He's our mate, shouldn't we forgive him?

God the attitude on that girl.

No, not now at least!

And with that shes silent!

Quickly I grabbed a paper and pen and scribbled my number across it. 

"Here!" I said as I passed it to Caleb "Call me whenever!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Bella I need to talk to you!" Connor said as he grabbed my wrist.

I pulled my arm free and continued walking towards my next class. But Connor's nothing if not consistent. 

"Please Bella! It's important!" 

I sighed in defeat before letting him pull me into one of the empty classrooms. 

"What can you possibly want this time Connor?" I asked as I leaned back against the blackboard.

Connor stuffed his hands in his pockets and started to pace across the room.

"Okay" he started "I don't want you, you know that!"

"All to well" I mumbled. 

Connor rolled his eyes but ignored my comment.

"However, our wolves seem to want eachother, you know that whole mate bond thing..

"Whatever, so I was thinking that maybe we can just have some fun, nothing serious, but that way our wolves will keep quiet!"

I started at Connor for a good three minutes before managing to pull myself together. 

"You're kidding, right?" I asked

He's kidding, right?

I rolled my eyes at my wolfs dumb comment, did I not just ask that?

Connor shook his head slowly. "Just think about it!" 

I stood there 'thinking' for a second. But it didn't take me long to know what I wanted to do!

"I. Bella Morin accept your rejection, Connor Harris!" I spat.

Connor was shocked - and thats the understatement of the century!

I guess the pretty boy wasn't used to being rejected. 

And then without another word, I turned my back to him and walked out of the classroom, rushing towards the door. Hoping I would make it out before the tears spilled over onto my cheeks. 

_____________________________________________________________________________

Once I was out of the class I ran towards the closest womens bathroom unfortunatley I bumbed right into Vincent on the way. 

"Bella? Oh my god Bells, whats wrong?" he asked. 

I struggled in his grasp, but Vincent held me tightly in his embrace.

"Whats wrong?" he asked again.

I let out a low sob as I gave up fighting him and wrapped my arms around his waist.

"Connor Harris......mate........rejection" I only said three words, but I knew that Vincent would understand.

Vincent stiffed up and the hand that was rubbing my back came to a sudden stop "What?" 

I nodded against him.

"I never really liked him!" Vincent muttered as he returned to rubbing my back. 

I let out a low chuckle. "I know!"

I had stood there letting Vincent comfort me for another couple minutes before breaking free of his embrace.

"I have to get to class" I said as I wiped up tears from my cheeks. 

Vince nodded. "I'm sorry that he hurt you!"

And I knew that he was. Vincent loved me, but he's not crazy protective! We just dont have that type of relationship! And i'm okay with that, honestly I didn't want him beating up every guy that wrongs me. My life is not his! I can take care of myself!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Bella, I heard you cried!" Emmi said as she ran over to me. 

She immedietly wrapped me in a hug. "I never knew you could cry, I always figured you were born without tear sockets!"

I stared at my best friend weirdly. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Emmi laughed. "Come on, we need to do a girls night! I'm calling Mitchy!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Half-an-hour later I was sitting in the middle of Emmi's living room eating a family sized bag of chips on my own. 

"You're gonna clean that, right?" Emmi asked as she stared down at the crumbs that fell from my hands.

I nodded as I stuffed another handful of chips in my mouth. 

"Are you gonna tell us what happened?" Mitchy asked as she attempted to reach for a couple chips. But I quickly slapped her hand away. 

"It's a long story! Look i'll be fine!" I reassured my friends as I took a swig of coke straight from the bottle, not even bothering with a cup.

"Yeah right!" Mitchy mumbled "thats why you're eating Emmi out of house and home!"

I laid down on my back and groaned. "Look can you guys please just drop it!"

Mitchy mumbled something under her breath but eventually agreed and reached for my hand, helping me up!

"Fine! Then I get the floor! I have something to share!" she spat as she plopped down in the seat were I was previously sitting. Grabbing the bag of chips from my hands as she did so.

"Connor Harris asked me out today!"
