Twilight fanfiction: Not a straight love story

Four

Now that I look closer, I notice he has a round face with baby fat like me, but even chubbier, blonde hair, blue eyes... "Mike Newton!" I shouted before I had time to stop. I guess I'll spend the rest of first hour regretting it if he also has the lesson free...

"Nice of you to remember me Swan, but when I ask you a question, you answer back" the boy's eyes got bigger, and he stepped forward.

He lifted his shoulders, and tried widening them- I think the point was to look big and strong, but he looked more like a kitten trying to act like a lion. He had gotten much closer, so I stepped backwards hoping to keep my personal space and to act my part in his bullying. The question... the question... oh the smug... I wasn't even being smug. In fact, far from it, well if he is going to accuse me then I'll just play the game.

"Um" I scanned around for an excuse, and then I saw a copy of Mice and Men. Perfect. One of my hands went to reach for it and grabbed it, I then stuffed it in between our face which were too close to call safe. I saw that the cover side was facing me, so I quickly turned it around to show him what book it was. But being as careless as someone like me, the pages fanned out into his face, and skimmed over his skin while I turned it around. Nevertheless his expression was priceless when I saw him wrinkling his nose in reaction to the old book smell, I held back my laugh to stop myself from getting more onto his jock wanna be side.

To save myself, I quickly explained. "I found a copy of the book I wanted. I didn't know that I would have a free period today so I don't have anything to do really" I laughed a bit trying to convince him.

"Swan you are so dead" Mike's arm came towards me while I back stepped backwards, my back was now flush with the bookshelf behind me. I closed my eyes and waited for the outcome of my careless behaviour. If I'm lucky, I wouldn't get any marks.

Surprisingly I didn't feel anything, perhaps I dodged it. But the bookshelf behind me seemed to have shaken a little, maybe because of the fact my weight had suddenly charged backwards leaning against it.

A few seconds later, after making sure that nothing was happening I opened my eyelids. It startled me that his arm was leaning past me on the bookshelf, his eyes staring into mine, he then closed his eyes and his face began coming forward.

No, this could not be happening. What is he trying to do? I'm sure he would have wanted to hit me rather than kiss me. The idea of having his lips on mine repulsed me.

Before he managed to join our lips, I ducked and went under his arm to the other side of him. His mouth, like on TV, formed into two sausages and he ended up dunking his head forward to kiss the books being held by the shelf.

When his lips came into contact with the books, his eyes immediately flashed open to see that his head was literally stuck in between the shelf openings.

He tried pulling his head back out of the shelf but the bookshelf just shook, causing a few books to fall onto his head with a thud.

"Owwww!" He shrieked. I snickered at his accident, making sure that he couldn't hear me. I immediately stopped when his eyes turned towards me.

"Little help here, Swan" He lowered his tone, his face starting to blush.

"Sure" and I placed my hands onto both sides of his head and began pulling him away. With all my strength I wasn't able to move him an inch. I could hear him still whimpering.

"Mike what's with all the noise..." I started to see a silhouette coming towards the row of books we were in. I saw the bronze first catching in the light, and then his head turned around to meet mine and all I could see was green. Edwards face was confused at first but once he saw Mike's head sandwiched in between the wood, a laugh escaped from him. Meanwhile Mike's face turned a dark red, I went into autopilot while continuing to pull Mikes face out of the bookshelf.

"Owwwwww!" Mike whimpered aloud and I saw my hands pulling at his ears, I let go of his ears immediately. I must have pulled hard, because the back of the bookshelf that was off the floor has now landed back onto its stance when I released Mike's ears. That caused a few more books to land onto Mike's back, with the final on his head.

"Sorry!" I quickly apologized.

Mike ignored me and turned his eyes to Edwards. "Little help, buddy?" He smiled weakly to offer friendliness, and in hopes to get some proper help.

"Sure" Edward said, quickly becoming composed, he came over and held onto the shelf. "Bella, you pull Newton out while I hold onto the shelf."

"Are you sure that's gon na work?" Mike asked nervously; probably reliving the few seconds of pain in his ears.

"You want help or not Mike?" Edward asked impatiently.

"Yes... Please" Mike whimpered like a little pet.

"Okay, one, two, three, Pull..."Edward ordered. I quickly placed my hand on the sides of Mikes head and pulled him while his hands were on the side of the shelf helping to free himself.

With Edward's help, on the second try we managed to get Mike's head unstuck.

Mike managed to land on his behind.

"Thanks buddy" He said whilst trying to catch his breath.

"Sure thing" Edward winked at me while taking the books off the floor and placing them back on the bookshelf.

"Do you have what you need? I'm sure Mr. Green is expecting us to be back in the next few minutes." Edward asked as he extended his hands to help Mike up from the ground.

"Yeah, I got what I needed." Mike waved a book in the air. I didn't notice he had a book in his hand until now.

"I thought we needed economics, not literature, what were you doing over here anyway?" Edward asked.

"Um nothing I was just looking around" Mike look down to the ground and fidgeted with his hands. It gave me a creepy feeling; he didn't follow me into here to torture me on purpose did he? The idea itself was quite dramatic for my life so I let it bypass my brain, but never the less it made me think of another question; he didn't came in to spy on me did he?

Don't be ridiculous Bella; as if? What have you got to be spied on?

"Okay, um, we should get going now" Edward pointed the way out of the row with his thumb. I found myself feeling disappointed that he was leaving. "See you later Bella" He smiled and I noticed that it was a bit crooked. I was sure I died and went to heaven...

But this was quickly ruined by Mike. "See ya Swan" He said it like the atmosphere would suddenly go dark, but nope, there was no signs of threat. I reacted the way people like him want me to though, I shrink into my own and look to the floor- the eye contact was the hardest part, I've never been able to portray the right fear when I need it.

"See you" I said timidly, the bending of my neck means that my airway was broken off and my voice cracked at the last word, creating the right effect people like him wanted me to react.

Whilst my head was still down I peeked up with my eyes and saw Mike trying to make a man out of his former embarrassed self. He once again tried widening his shoulder and began making his way out. When he was out of sight I lifted up my head. Relieved that for right now, he wouldn't be coming near me again.

Even though I don't want to rely on Emmett too much, maybe hanging out with him at lunch would be the best idea at this stage. I groaned at the thought, what will people think of me? The little sister crying to her big bro for help?

I didn't remember that I had company until Edward chuckled as he walked out of the space and turned the corner, while leaving me stunned and confused behind.
