School started soon afterward. Who was there to wake me up? Not my usual alarm, who is either roaming the face of the earth or chilling with God. Or sound asleep like I last saw him.

I saunter languidly to Swinter High School. It's amazing: everyday, I was just an invisible girl who only had one friend. No one paid attention to me, but I didn't mind. And now that Edward is... no more, all eyes rest upon me. Everyone silences when I enter, and make way in the hallways. Why me? I'm not a relative of him. I'm his best friend. So what? So what? Don't treat me any differently than before.

I try to neglect all the eyes on me, but I feel their gaze burn holes in my back. I make my way to my locker, and do you know what I see? A note:

"Sorry I had to leave you, babe, but it's not my fault I was beaten. But don't worry about me, I'll be watching over you. That is, if I'm not too busy making out with these female angel hotties.
~ Edwerd"

No. No. No. I felt the burning tears build up in my eyes. I hear a few jocks laugh in the background. Of course I know it was the jocks. Edward couldn't have written this! HE'S FUCKING DEAD! Plus his name isn’t even spelled right!!!

I feel my face get red of anger as I turn around. The main jock, the "leader", Joey, looks at me mockingly.

"RRRAAAAAHHHH!" I lunge myself towards him. He sure wasn't expecting this; I caught him off guard. I pin him to a wall and look him in the eyes. He's grinning, but I see a bit of fear in his eyes.

I lean in towards his ear and say, "If you ever mess with me or Edward again, I swear on your mother's life that I WILL get you. Clear?"

He looks down on me and whispers back, "Sweetie, Edward's dead."

I see his smirk, and it fills me with rage! I pull out my (secret) knife and slit his hand a little, but I make it a deep cut. He yells out in pain and his posse surrounds me like hungry wolves. I push two guys out of my way, but only after whispering to Joey, "You've been warned."563Please respect copyright.PENANA26FDdtR2Ij
