Edward Cullen's Stalking Class 101

Chapter 5 - Photo Stalking

Edward's POV

I watched Emmett do his stalking homework. He was stalking Jacob Black of all people. Why the hell would he want to stalk him?

Jacob was an unspoken enemy of mine. We had clashed heads a few times on La Push beach when our family were hunting on his family ground. Apparently, there was some treaty about that which Carlisle had neglected to tell us about. So, we don't exactly speak.

Jacob's Facebook was kind of depressing. His last status update was from this morning: Woke up at 6 a.m. I could kill whoever invented midnight wolf patrols.

His profile picture is not even a nice one it almost looked like a mug shot. He was only friends with people from La Push; but his privacy settings were on public so everyone could see everything he posted. Not that he posted often. Half of his status updates were about Bella and also me, but he could mean any bloodsucker. It was things like: Bella wanted to know more about him today. I really wish she'd just go and talk to him and leave me to suffer in silence. I love her but sometimes I wish she didn't have a thing for a bloodsucker. It'll take some time but eventually they will talk and when they do...THANK GOD! I am sick of getting questions about them.

"Looks like Jake's got a thing for your girl." Emmett said taking notes on Jacob's profile.

"Too bad he's never going to get her." I couldn't help but smile, maybe Bella feels the same way about me. "He doesn't stand a chance and if she wants to talk to me so badly then why doesn't she?"

"Maybe it's because you're a monster. Or at least a weirdo in her eyes. Think about it, you overreacted whenever she walked into that Bio room. So maybe that's what repulsed her."

I thought back to the first time that I saw Bella. She walked into the Biology room and sat next to me, the sound of her blood pumping through her veins almost sent me over the edge. I wasn't used to sitting in such close proximity to a human, especially not for this long. People usually avoided me and I normally avoided them. It didn't help that I hadn't hunted in a long time and her blood was calling to me. It was something I had never experienced before. So I kept my distance, or tried to, that day we had to work together on something and so I had to be close to her.

I didn't speak a lot nor did I breathe very often so of course she thinks I'm a freak. After that she asked if she could work with someone else and now I have to work with Emmett in class which is...eventful to say the least.

"You know for an idiot your theories tend to be right."

"Thanks, now let me do this damn homework you set!"

"Fine, at least I know you're doing the homework." I left Emmett to do his homework and signed into my own Facebook. I hate Alice and the way she can hack into our Facebook accounts; she'd changed my profile picture again. I looked horrible. Thanks Alice.

What's on your mind? I typed a quick update and clicked the share button. Sitting planning what I am going to do for the next lesson at school. I hate Emmett I truly do. Then I updated Twitter and Tumblr in the same way. Alice has got me on this whole social media junkie thing. I can't go a day without updating at least one of my social networking pages.

After doing that I went back to Facebook to see what everyone else was doing. Well I might as well live up to my stalker status, I sighed. I was kind of annoyed by the fact that Bella didn't have a Facebook or anything like that. I guess it's nice that she doesn't want the whole world to know what she's doing. She needs privacy in her life, interesting.
