The Perils of Bella Swan

Skirts:

I watched as Edward walked lithely toward me. How could such a beautiful creature love me? I tugged down the hem of the vile skirt Alice had literally forced me in. My entire wardrobe is filled with girly things like this now.

Sadly the item I'm wearing now didn't even come to my knees.

Edward brushed his lips across my forehead bringing me out of my internal rant. "Hello love, how was class? Are you ready for lunch?" I swallowed hard, the words I was going to say having vanished from my head.

Instead I intertwined my fingers with his as he led the way to the cafeteria. "You look positively stunning in that skirt by the way…" He whispered, pointedly looking my legs up and down.

I sighed, "Edward if I fall it will show everything." He laughed. "As if I would let you fall!" He scoffed at me.

"If you're too far away, then you can't show the whole world what you are, now can you?" I shot back. His beautiful face twisted into a grimace. "Don't even make me think about that…"

Lunch went quickly as it always seemed to when I was with him. All too soon, we were walking into the biology room to our desk. The teacher walked in as the bell rang, and began the lecture on how plants make food…BORING!!

When the lecture ended ten minutes before the bell would ring, Mr. Banner dismissed us early.

"Ugh, that was boring…" I mumbled as I got up with my books, and started to walk toward the door, Edward still at the desk. Just as I started to walk out the door, my foot caught on the door stop, and I fell.

Edward in desperate attempt to save me while running at human speed was too late. My face met the floor, as my skirt flew up to show everyone what was concealed underneath.

Don't you know I was glad I wore shorts underneath my skirt?
