Hello everyone. This is my first attempt at trying to write a full story. I've tried before to write stories but have never uploaded them. This one is one for humor and what not. The title may change, if so please do not stop reading, if you like the story that is.
DISCLAIMER: STEPHENIE MEYER OWNS ALL CHARACTERS. SHE OWNS EVERYTHING.
It's in Bella's POV throughout the story. I hope it's well written enough to receive more reviews than my one-shot XDIf you see anything wrong or if for some reason feel the need to, anyone can giveme pointers to help improve my writting skills, Thank you!
Oh and if I describe any outfits for Bella, I'll try to add links to show what they look like if anyone's interested. 8)

Ugh, I hate Mondays. Why must they be so irritating? It wasn't even time for me to get up for school and I was awake. I wanted more sleep before I was forced to get up.
I groaned and turned onto my other side. I shifted around until I found a somewhat comfortable position. What felt like two seconds later I felt cool lips making their way up my neck…
Edward. I smiled.
My glorious vampire boyfriend was trying to wake me up. It was amazing to me still that he was able to resist my sweet smelling blood. Sweet to him at least.
His lips were now on my jaw, tracing up to my left ear where he continued to kiss.
"Bella…" Edward whispered into my ear. I shivered in delight at the sound of his velvety voice. "You should get up now."
"Mmm," was my response. I kept my eyes closed and stayed still, relishing at the feeling of his lips on my skin.
Edward wasn't giving up. His lips moved from my ear to my cheek, to just the corner of my lips…
"Please?" He said. His arms wrapped around me, holding me close. "Do you really want to be late, Bella?"
Yes. "Eh." I rolled over again so that I wasn't facing him. Let me sleep.
Edward sighed and I felt his weight leave the bed. Uh oh. I quickly pulled the covers over my head and held them there, my eyes squeezed shut.
After a minute of silence and no interference with my sleep, I relaxed. My hands lessened their hold on the blanket, not a good idea. The blanket was suddenly ripped away from me, a blast of cold air rushed to meet my previously warm body.
"Edward!" I shrieked, not worrying about waking Charlie, He'd already left. I pulled the pillow out from under my head and stuffed it on my face, curling up into a shivering ball.
Edward's hands were then sliding underneath me, he lifted me off the bed and placed me on my feet on the floor. I didn't try very hard to keep my balance, knowing he wouldn't let me fall. My hands still held the pillow to my face, avoiding the cloudy morning light of Forks.
His hands hadn't left me, he carefully lifted a hand and pulled the pillow from my face with barley any effort at all. I groaned when the light shone through my eyelids.
Edward cradled my face in his hands and then his lips were on mine.
His mouth was cool against my warm mouth. He moved slowly, kissing me with passion but I could sense humor as his lips turned up at the corners. I'm awake now. I threw my arms around his neck and pushed my head more forcefully against his. The gesture was unexpected for him and he pulled away quickly, breathing heavily even though he didn't need to.
"Why must you always make this so difficult?" He murmured into the skin of my cheek, His arms wrapping tightly around me again.
I gasped for air still, my face nestled into his neck. "I don't know." I answered him in honesty mostly. I just really, really liked kissing him. But of course he never went to far with me, afraid of losing control and hurting me.
We stayed in the position for a few minutes before he pulled away and looked into my eyes. His eyes were beautiful as always to me. The gold color that he and the rest of his family had because they didn't feast on humans.
Edward cupped my cheek. "Bella, me and the rest of my family are going hunting throughout this whole week." He told me gently but hesitantly. There was a worry in his eye that I could tell he was trying to hide.
But I knew why. Ever since he came back from Italy, I'd always been worried when he went hunting. Worried that he wouldn't come back. Though he reassured me, I just couldn't shake the feelings. I was still in shock that he still loved me as much as he truly did.
My face fell the tiniest bit but he still noticed.
"Bella, I promise you that I am coming back and that-"
"Yeah, I know, I know." I cut him off. " You love me and you'll never, ever leave me again." The same thing he always had to tell when he left for reasons like this.
It was my fault he had to go on such long hunts anyway. He tried to stay with me as much as possible so that I didn't worry. This of course made him more thirsty than he should have to deal with. Hence the week long hunt.
Edward smiled. "All of it's true, Bella." He told me softly, stroking my cheek as he did so. "Now do you think you should get ready for school now? I have to get going soon and I'm still giving you a ride."
Oh, I'd completely forgotten about school. My eyes darted over to the clock on my nightstand. It was…Seven exactly. What? I looked back to Edward who was now smiling playfully. Ugh, he woke me up early.
I smacked his arm lightly, being careful not to hurt myself on his granite like body. He chuckled and kissed my forehead before heading to the window and jumping out. He was going to change and get his car.
I sighed and picked out my outfit for the day. Simple jeans, A white blouse that Alice had gotten me and a small gold heart locket that Edward had insisted on getting me after we returned from Volterra. The blouse was one of the few things Alice could ever get me that didn't make me feel all exposed.
I walked to the bathroom and started the shower. It was cold at first but I managed to fix it and relaxed while washing my hair. After that was done I stepped out carefully, fearing my clumsiness would try to take me down.
I blow-dried my hair and then changed into my clothing.
When I got downstairs, Edward was already in the kitchen, having poured me a bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice.
I smiled at him as he turned to look at me. "Thank you." I settled myself in a chair and started chomping down.
Edward watched me as I ate, something he did all to often. Is it really that fascinating? How is far that he gets to stare at me while I eat but I can't watch him? I ranted in my head as I finished, placing the bowl in the sink.
When I turned Edward had disappeared. Before I could yell for him he was back with my school bag and jacket. He held out my jacket and I slid my arms into it, taking my bag from him and walking through the living room.
Edward waited patiently as locked the house up. I ran through the rain to Edwards silver Volvo and quickly got in.
He was in the drivers seat and starting the car before I had buckled my seat belt. I finally was able to settle and relax.
Edward flipped on the radio and his favorite classical music began playing softly in the background.
"So…You're going to be gone all week?" I asked, disappointed, trying to strike up some kind of conversation.
"I am. I'm sorry, I wish I could stay." He smiled at me, trying to comfort me. It worked slightly.
I grinned back. Quit your worrying! My mind told me.
Too soon we pulled into the parking lot of the high school. I grumbled silently at a day without Edward.
He parked in his usual spot and was around the car, opening the door for me before I could gather my things up.
He held out his hand for me to take and helped me out of the car. His lips were in mine when I was standing straight, kissing me goodbye. His lips were soft against mind but there was a warning in there somewhere, telling me to be good.
He kissed me for a minute and then sighed pulling away. Cool fingers glided over me cheek. "I'll be back Friday, during the night. I probably won't be near Alice most of the time so please try to keep yourself out of trouble, alright?" He flashed his sharp, white teeth at me playfully.
No Edward I'm going to go jump off a cliff while you're gone.
"I'll try." I mumbled.
Gently he released my grip around his neck and placed my hands over his non-beating heart. "Goodbye, I love you." His lips pressed into my forehead. I said my goodbye and was slowly rid of his arms.
I stared after his car as it disappeared into the trees…
"Hey Bella!" I jumped. Mike was suddenly in front of me as if he'd been waiting for Edward to leave.
"Oh, hi Mike," I tried to sound cheerful and failed miserably.
"Are you coming to work tonight? I think we may have a bit more customers…" Yeah sure, that place is always packed.
"Yes, I am. Sorry, I've just been a little out of it all week." I told him as we walked down to the cafeteria.
He grinned excitedly. "Great! So what did you do this weekend?" His arm wrapped around my shoulders as if he thought he had the right to do so.
I shifted my shoulders, hoping his arm would fall off, but sadly it did not. "Uh, Mike…?" I pointed to his arm.
He looked at me innocently. "What? This is a very friendly thing to do. Friends do it all the time." He grinned. Yeah but I know you want to think it's a more than friendly gesture.
As we walked through the cafeteria, I saw Mike's friends staring at us in awe. Oh, jeez. I bet they think Edward broke up with me.
Okay, I've had enough. I lifted Mike's arm off my shoulders. He seemed offended but didn't say anything.
The warning bell rang and I was off the my first class.
First period passed uneventfully. As I took my seat in second, I noticed Jessica staring at me curiously. When she caught me looking, she turned her head away. Weird, she'd blown me off because of how I'd acted when Edward was gone.
The teacher started lecturing us. I took out a piece of paper and started to doodle. Edward usually helped me out if I got distracted during class, but he wasn't here today.
By the near end of the period, I'd drawn a nice looking tree, with a pond and bush near it.
Someone clear their throat loudly. I didn't look up to see who it was.
"Miss. Swan?" Uh oh. The teacher had noticed me. I cautiously turned my eyes up to look at him, everyone in the classroom was staring at me.
I flushed. "Y-yes Mr. Varner?" My voice was weak. I didn't like all of the attention.
He looked irritated. "Can you answer my question?" He growled. Of course not, that's why I asked what you wanted.
I sat there for two long minutes, dumbfounded. Everyone's eyes stayed locked on me and my blush only grew hotter on my cheeks. I swallowed nervously and gave it my best try.
"Fifty-five?" I answered, thinking he may have asked for a page number for a book.
He scowled at me. And turned back to the board, where he wrote my name. "I'll see you in detention Miss. Swan." He stated duly.
I ducked my face into my arms, feeling the stares from around the room.
The lunch bell rang and I got up to leave.
"Sit." The angry voice of Mr. Varner hollered at me from behind.
"But I thought detention was after school," I gasped slightly. I walked back to my desk and sat down.
He walked back to the door. "You waste my time, I waste your time." The door slammed as he went to go get lunch.
I don't get to eat?!
I buried my face in my arms and growled a loud frustrated human growl.
After what seemed like forever, my eyes finally stayed locked on the clock.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick ,tick…
I was sure my eyes looked bloodshot from my lack of blinking. If they put clocks in jail cells surely everyone would go mad.
My stomach growled at me. Hey, if I could get food, I would get food. I was used to being able to eat at this time.
I was really starting to get bored, there had to be something to do…
I took out my ipod and pushed play. Listening to "Halo" by Bethany Joy Lenz. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the music. My head turned from side to side slightly in rhythm with the song. I started to sing along near the end.
A book slammed hard on my desk. Causing me to jump and shriek. It sounded like a bat hitting a ball hard on a baseball field.
I snapped my head up to see Mr. Varner glaring at me. "Well, it seems you found something to preoccupy your time here. But I'm afraid that's over now. " He held out his hand.
I let out a agitated sigh and pulled my ear buds out, wrapping the cord around the ipod. I slammed into his palm and he turned and walked away as the end of lunch bell rang. I watched as he put it into the back pocket of his jeans. Oh, gross! Why do teachers have to do that? I groaned internally.
I slumped out of the classroom and walked to Biology.
When I walked in, a paper ball hit the door close to my head. It was loud as the students talked with a high volume. I looked over at the teacher, confused as to why he was letting them act like this.
Oh, we had a substitute. He had short black hair and big glasses. "Okay class, settle down." He waved his hands a little to get attention, no one seemed to notice him. He had slightly squeaky voice almost like what some people would describe as nerdy.
A TV sat in front of the classroom. I stood near the door still.
"Excuse me? You there, could you flip the lights off please?" The nerdy voice called. Wait, was he talking to me?
I snapped my head in his direction and sure enough he was staring expectantly at me. I blushed and flipped the light switch.
Throughout the class people continued to talk but eventually it quieted down.
The movie was about plants and I couldn't concentrate. I folded my arms on the table and laid my head on top of them. My eyelids started to grow heavy. I tried to keep them open but it seemed almost impossible. I dozed in and out of sleep until it took over completely.
I dreamed that it suddenly got peaceful and quiet in the class room. It transformed into mine and Edward's meadow. The sun shone brightly in the middle. It was beautiful. Edward and I wear in the middle and I opened my eyes to look at him.
His eyes were pure gold, beautiful. He smiled down at me.
"Bella, you should wake up now." He touched my cheek lightly with his fingertips, it almost felt unreal.
I frowned at him. "What are you talking about, I am awake."
"No." He stated as if it were obvious.
Out of nowhere a ragging clap of thunder shot through the sky. I jumped and my eyes flew open.
Oh no. No, no, no, no, no. I was still in the classroom. The Biology room. Crap! I'd fallen asleep.
It was empty. The lights were off and the blinds were closed. The TV was gone. The teacher was gone…
How long have I been asleep?! My head bolted upwards in panic. I blinked several thousand times, trying to get rid of the crusty feeling in my eyes. I got up so fast my stool flipped over but I wasn't going to worry about that right now. I grabbed my stuff and ran for the door. My foot caught on the leg of a table I went sprawling across the floor along with my books. I hurriedly picked them up. They were unorganized and messy in my hands as I made my way for the door again. I had trouble getting it open but when I did, I did not expect to see what I did.
The whole class was standing outside the door, including the teacher. The TV was out there as well. All the kids had their stuff…And I was standing here looking like the idiot who fell asleep in class. My hair was mused around my face which was flushed red with stress and panic.
The whole class burst into laughter. It echoed through the halls. They had tricked me. Turned the lights off, the TV, shut the blinds, taken everything so it looked like school had long ended. They woke me up so I'd freak out. I flushed tomato red with embarrassment, unable to do anything but stand there.
The nerdy sub put a hand on my shoulder as the students filed back into the classroom, still giggling.
I slowly turned my head to look at him. He grinned.
"That's what happens when you fall asleep in my class." Still smiling he patted my shoulder and walked back with the rest of them.
He had planned this. I thought he was harmless. Ugh! Dammit!
I probably looked like a mess. I ran the fingers of my free hand through my hair the fix it and organized my pile of papers.
The second I opened the door the bell rang and I nearly got ran over by the mob of animals crowding into the halls.
I went straight for gym. Not in the mood to encounter their laughs. Of course Mike had to catch up with me as I stalked quickly down the hall. He was holding back a chuckle.
"Sorry Bella, but that was too good!" He laughed.
I froze and glared at him. "I glad you think so." I contorted. I could imagine what my face looked like because Mike flinched back slightly. I stomped into the gym classroom and slammed my books onto the lower part of the bleachers before going straight for the girls locker-room.
Gym didn't go to well either. We were forced to play soccer. The one time I got close to kicking the ball, the girl on the other team accidentally kicked my ankle hard. I limped to side lines but Coach. Clapp wasn't having that and waved me back in the game. A bruise was starting to form.
I didn't get near the ball again and was relieved when the game was over and we were free to change and go home.
As I came out of the locker room I walked toward my things. On my short walk a soccer blow slammed into my back and knocked me to my knees. It knocked the wind out of me and I gasped for air.
I vaguely heard the person screaming sorry but still was unable to breathe. Mike noticed this and ran to my aid. "Bella? Are you okay?" He put his hand on my back, rubbing up and down. I allowed it. For now.
"Yeah!" I croaked. My speech was strangled.
Mike continued to rub his hand across my back until my breathing returned to normal. He helped me to my feet and across the gym to my stuff. I was still gasping slightly.
He didn't speak to me as he followed me out into the parking lot. I searched for my truck and then remembered that Edward had driven me here. How was I supposed to get home?
"Is something wrong?" Mike asked from behind me. I was still on the sidewalk looking for nothing.
I turned to face him nervously. "Um, it's just that Edward drove me to school this morning and he's not going to be back until Friday…"
Mike seemed annoyed and happy at the same time. "Cullen drove you here and left you with no ride home? What, was he expecting you to walk home or something? What's wrong with him?" He continued ranting about how "dumb" Edward was for leaving me here. I had to stop it though. Edward couldn't have remembered about my ride, I didn't. He's allowed to forget things.
"Mike, I'm sure Edward didn't mean to leave me here. He can forget things. I guess I should've reminded him but it's okay. I'm fine with walking home." I didn't want him thinking Edward would ever do something like this on purpose.
Mike sighed and then smiled. "You're right. But I'm not going to make you walk home. And besides shouldn't we both be heading down to work.?" Oh, I'd forgotten about that. "I'll give you a ride there and home, if you want?" He offered.
I smiled sweetly and thanked him.
As we started down the road, I just stared out the windshield. There wasn't much to talk about with Mike and if I didn't know better I would've started talking about the Cullens. But I was fine with just sitting in the seat quietly.
"So Bella," Mike began conversationally. I sighed inwardly. "I was thinking we could do something fun sometime this week. Ya' know, just as friends having a good time." Or as friends going somewhere beyond that. I didn't need Edward to know what was on his mind.
I fidgeted with the zipper on my school bag. "I don't know, Mike. I don't think this week would be the best week for anything… exciting for me."
He didn't sound happy with my response. "Aw, Bella, come on. You almost never get out. You need to have more fun in your life." His hands were drumming on the steering wheel contently.
I thought about it. Could it really be that bad? I guess I could use the distraction, with Edward being gone and all. "Alright, I guess we can plan something. But nothing too dangerous. I'm so sick of danger it isn't even funny." I told him. In a way I was ranting.
"Great!" He flashed his best smile at me. How about Wednesday? I could probably find something for us to do down at the shop." He suggested calmly.
I could allow that. "Okay." I smiled back.
Soon we reached his parents shop. I worked like I did normally. As Mike was walking me out at the end of the day he told me he'd found a road map for small traveling trails up a mountain. He told me he had a jeep that we could take up one of the trails. It sounded like fun so I agreed to go with him.
After he dropped me off at home, I immediately went to my room after telling Charlie that I was very tired and wanted rest.
I finished my homework around 10:00 and decided to take a shower.
During that time I remembered my ipod…
Mr. Varner still had it. I'd have to remember to get it back tomorrow.
When I finally settled into bed, I sighed in relief. Today was such a long day. I hoped tomorrow would be better. I curled up facing where Edward would usually be in the night and closed my eyes. I slept most of the night without dreams. In peace.
Teachers are evil. One of my friends teachers actually did the same thing to her when she fell asleep in class XDD It's was funny. I wish I could've been there. Anyway I hope my first chapter was good. If I get enough positive reviews I'll continue the story.
