The Story of Us

Chapter Two:

Fourth Grade:

“So,” Nessie suddenly stops writing and asks, “Am I still sleeping over.

“Didn’t I already tell you yes? And our parents talked about it too.” I didn’t bother looking at her even though I could feel her eyes on my face.

“I guess.” She sighed. “I just wanted to see if you really said yes.”

“I did.”

Jacob Black walked up to us his notebook in his hand on his way to the teachers’ desk. He seemed to be finished his work. I hated him for that. Always the smartest kid in the class, always getting things finished first and getting them 100% or at least 90%.

Jacob had become our friend ever since Nessie saved him from Edward at our first year at school.  We started playing with each other as in going to parks or each other but most often since Jacob’s mom died three year ago. He cried a lot then. Still do sometimes when he see’s my mom doing something nice for me unexpectedly. That’s why he likes Nessie more that I. At least they have the same experience is losing someone dear to them.

“Jacob, are you done?” Nessie asked.

Jacob nodded. “I finished yesterday. It was homework, remember?”

“Shh!” I hushed him. “Some of us were busy watching Arthur.”

He ignored me and looked at Nessie. “You aren’t done?”

She shook her head. “My foster parents made me clean.  People came over.” Nessie whispered.

“Oh.” Was his only reply. He then said, “I can help you if you want?” Nessie gave a small smile in return.

Edward Mason soon came trotting by with a bunch of his other friends Mike, Tyler, Ben and Jared and knocked tripped Jacob as he moved around the desk. “Watch where you’re going smarty.” He sneered.

Angrily I slammed my pencil down onto the desk and said, “Come say that to his face, Edward!”

They all stopped and turned around. “What did you say?”

“You heard me.”

Edward came right in front of me and I could hear and feel his breath. “Okay. I said ‘watch where you’re going smarty.’”

And as soon as his lips touched together in a closed I slammed my heal onto his toe and he bellowed out in pain. Edward dropped to the ground hugging his foot and the teacher, Mrs. Hall, arrived at the scene.

She gave me a cold look. “Office now, Bella!”

I wasn’t going to take that. “But it was his fault! He started it!” I say, “I’m not going until you make him go too!”

She sighed. “Bella I’m really tired of this happening every week you come to school.” Mrs. Hall begins. “Fine. Edward, you also. Office now!”

Grunting unpleasantly Edward gets up and walks out the door. In the hallway I stick out my tongue and he shoved his palm into my face. “Eww! You taste bad.” I reply back to his gesture.

He doesn’t say anything. We reach the main office in a matter of minute. The secretary Mr. Granger looks up at us and removes his glasses. “Again, Bella.” He asked.

“He started it.” I mumbled.

Mr. Grangers reaches into his desk and grabs two pieces of paper and a pen from there. Then picking up the phone he buzzes Mrs. Hall and the talk about the incident that had happened in class.  Once he’s done talking he scribbles on the piece of paper.

“Alright, Bella. Give this to your mom.” He gives a paper to me then the other to Edward. “To your dad, Edward.”

He pauses for a moment to type something into the Hp computer he has lying on the desk. “You both have two weeks of black board erasing and removing the chalk out of the erasers in rooms 12, 4 and 23 for being physical during class.”

I stare at him in disbelief. Turning I see Edward has the same look pasted on his face. “Oh don’t give me that. You both deserve it.” Mr. Granger says. “Give those to your parents and it explains everything from the event to the punishment. I will know if you don’t.” He looks at Edward firmly. “Now go back to class.

We walk back to the classroom in silence. “This is all your fault.” Edward says.

My eyes narrow at him. “Excuse me?”

“You’re excused.”

I roll my eyes. “If you hadn’t been so mean to Jacob I would have had to hurt you.”

He smiles. “If he wasn’t such a dork I wouldn’t have had to.” He pauses. “Why do you hang out with him and that Renesmee girl anyway? Their freaks.”

“No their not!” I say steadily. “It’s just you don’t know them. Why do you play with those bullies yourself?”

He shrugs. “’Cause I have to.”

Before he could answer me we had already reached the classroom and other kids were getting ready for recess. It was too loud for such a conversation and it seemed that Mrs. Hall was making sure that Edward and I weren’t together.

Once outside Nessie asked me, “So what did he make you guys do?”

“Two weeks of board cleaning after school.” I say.

Nessie and Jacob both groan. “We can’t play with each other then.” He says.

I pressed my lips together. “You guys can. Maybe not at my house but at the park or something.”

“That’s true.” Nessie replies. “But it still sucks. It won’t be that much fun with out you.”

I blush at her words and we continue on to enjoy as much of the fresh air as the fifteen minutes allow us. I was really going to hate those detentions.

“There is so many things that you wish I knew

So many walls up I can’t break through

Now were standing alone,

In a crowded room and were not speaking.”

-Taylor Swift “The Story of Us”

Authors Note:

I hope this chapter was interestingly enough. Now you know a little bit more of the mysterious Edward and I’m pretty sure I’ll explain more in the next chapters. Keep reading and updates will come soon.
