A Duel Challenge (Pt 2)

>WHOOOSH<

Edward's hand descended in a rush. No one tried to stop him, no, someone did. However, Anabelle was too slow and too far away to stop the motion of his quick and powerful arm.

I didn't move from where I sat and observed the trajectory of his arm. My lips curled up in a smile when I realized… his hand was never targeted at my face— or any part of my body for that matter.

>WHAM!<

His hand slapped the desk in front of me, creating a loud sound that reverberated across the classroom. Everyone displayed shock at the intentional miss of Edward since they were already convinced that he would assault me.

"Smart move. I thought you would actually hit me…" I whispered with a smile, enough for him to make out my words.

"I'm not stupid. I know the repercussions of that. I have no intention of facing a penalty this soon."
