Edwards POV

I sighed as I stepped out of my Volvo, quietly slamming the door, another day of school, bound to be as boring and frustrating as the last. As if on queue Jessica came bounding up to me, “Hi Edward”

“Hi Jessica” I replied already bored with our conversation and from the look on her face I could see that my irritation showed,

 “Anyway” she continued, “I was wondering if you wanted to see a movie with me this Friday” she asked hopefully.

 I didn’t know what to say, she had asked me that every Monday for the last two months and clearly ‘sorry I’m busy’ wasn’t enough of a hint. “I’m sorry Jessica, but I’m not interested in seeing a movie with you EVER”. I regretted the words as soon as they came out of my mouth, they were true enough but probably a little harsh. She obviously thought so too.

 “ Edward you are such a jerk” she yelled at me, halfway to tears already. I opened my mouth, ready to rephrase in a nicer, less heartbreaking way when she yelled again

“Oh just shut it”

“But Jessica…” I tried to interrupt, but she wasn’t done.

“Just get over yourself Edward, I wouldn’t want to date someone with an ego as over-inflated as yours anyway”. Now I was confused.

“What”

“You think you’re too good for all the girls here, honestly just go back to Alaska and date an Eskimo”, I bit my tongue to hide my laugh and decided not to tell her that there are no Eskimo’s in Alaska, making fun of her probably wasn’t a good idea in this situation.

“Well” she continued, “Don’t you have anything to say for yourself”. I stayed quiet, praying she would just go away.

“Arrgh, what, now you’re so great you can’t even talk to me. Edward Cullen you are a jerk and mean and self-centered and arrogant and you have a superhero complex” Jessica half shouted and half sobbed. I knew she was upset and I knew what she said wasn’t true but what she said still made me mad.

“Jessica, I am not a jerk, and my ego is NOT over-inflated, I would just prefer to date someone with at least half a brain”. I had definitely gone too far, and before I knew what had had happened Jessica had raised her right hand and slapped me across the face, before spinning away, and flouncing off to her friends.
