Hunting Part One

Sorry for the late update, here's a short chapter before the next... 

Edward waited outside my class to walk me to gym. I almost didn't want to go, not just because I wanted to spend time with Edward, but because gym was always my least favorite. I wasn't too clumsy to where I couldn't hit a ball, but I wasn't exactly an athlete either. 

He placed the back of his hand on my cheek, his hands were soft and it almost felt like a buzz of energy was bonding us. Without a word he walked off, I moved like a zombie, lost in my thoughts as I went to change into my gym clothes and run laps as we waited for the coach to come out. 

Mike ended up running up beside me after half of my first lap.

"Hey" he said slightly huffing 

"Hey" I said concentrating on running 

"So you and movie boy, huh?" 

"Excuse me?" I said as his tone ripped me out of my thoughts, pissing me off immediately.

"You know, cullen. Perfect teeth, perfect hair, movie star" 

"His name is Edward" I said with almost a snarl 

"I feel like he's just gonna use you" he said 

"You don't know anything about him" I said as I ran a bit faster to get away from him 

"Look-" he said between breaths catching up to me "I didn't mean it like that, i just meant you should watch out" 

"Like I said, you don't know anything about him" I said ending the conversation. I spotted Jessica and ran to catch up with her. 

"Mike's being a pile of crap" I said 

"Yeah, he cancelled our date last night. I don't even wanna see him" she said annoyed. "How are you and Edward doing?" 

"Does everyone really think we're dating?" I said sighing 

"You hangout enough, we kind of assumed" she said. 

I stayed quiet at that point. Unsure of how to react. How would he react when I told him? Is that what we were? Would that even be possible? 

Coach then clapped his hands happily, pairing us into groups and giving us rackets to hit a 'bird'. 

I got paired with Mike unfortunately, I did well enough to get us a few points, avoiding any conversation or contact with him other than a high five when we scored. 

"Bella" Mike said after our game was over 

"Yes, Mike" I said in a normal tone

"I'm just saying watch out, guys like him are players. He looks like he wants to take a bite out of you" 

I laughed hysterically. Mike stared at me like I was crazy. I kept laughing as I headed to the girls room to change. 

Edward was waiting outside the gym, leaning against the wall and staring into space. He was a stone statue. 

"Hi" I said happily. 

"Hello" he said looking at me and then furrowing his brows. "Mikes starting to piss me off" 

"You heard what he said?" I said my heart dropping 

"Who couldn't?" He snarled between his teeth. "Someone ought to teach him a lesson" 

Blood drained from my face, I had to talk him down. 

"Maybe someone that's not... enhanced?" I said 

He smirked. "Someone that doesn't own fangs?" 

"Someone that doesn't own fangs or an expensive car"

"Well George Clooney should definitely leave Mike alone" he joked. 

I breathed out a sigh of relief. "So are we skipping lunch again or what's on the agenda?" 

"We're going to lunch, you'll be eating here, i'll be eating elsewhere."he said with a raised eyebrow. 

I stared at him for a moment perplexed. Then it clicked.

"Oh." 

"Yes, it's been some time since I ate" he rubbed his stomach. 

"Oh so my blood meant nothing to you huh?" I said huffing and walking away from him 

Of course he caught up easily. 

"I didn't drink that much from you. It was like taking a sip of water. But if it helps, you have a delicate and floral taste" he said 

"Oh god what am I an icecream flavor" I said grabbing a tray of food. He grabbed a water bottle

He chuckled as we sat at our new usual table. Alice walked by and waved, Edward gave her a look, she stuck her tongue out, blew a kiss and then flitted away. 

"What was that about? I asked 

"She's teasing me about her seeing this in one of her visions." he said rolling his eyes. 

I took a bite of my apple, "Okay" I said chewing. "So where are we going?" 

"We're going hunting is where we're going" he said winking.
