CURSED ECLIPSE
~Prologue~
Trying to stay calm the rest of that night, and all of Sunday, made me worry constantly at what was going to happen. Playing the role as Edward's girlfriend in public, was a lot harder then I expected, since we were still fighting. As we left for school that morning, I took my own car. After being completely alone in my Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, I strolled up to my first class- which I had with Edward. It didn't go to well, seeing as I sat next to him. We had had all of our classes together, since we were so close, even if all we did was talk in class. Edward was very calm and collected in class, but always very edgy. We talked like we normally would; showing no emotions at all, but he never once took his eyes off of me. This would have usually made me feel important, but I wished he would stop now, as it irritated me.
As I attempted defense against this stare, he looked back harder. It made me stop breathing, even if we vampires didn't need air, like the squeamish humans did, but it was hard to stop the habit. It made life hell of a lot easier, too, sometimes.
"Edward." I firmly said, not looking at him, but straightening out my back.
"Yes?" He thought, almost amused, as it seemed.
"Please stop looking at me. I would like to get some thinking done..." I mildly thought.
"No, I think I will not. You are not the eldest, and you know it, Erisa." Edward mocked, looking at me, and leaning closer in.
"Edward? Please answer the question." Mr. Burkhart questioned his staring at me, but cocking his head to the right, slightly.
"Two over forty-one, sir." He replied, not taking his off me for a second.
"Yes... That is correct..." Mr. Burkhart said, astonished by the knowledge Edward possessed.
"Of course it is..." Edward smiled, while he thought that to me, even though I was trying to block out his thoughts.
"Don't bother trying..." He calmly whispered his annoying thoughts into my over-reacting mind.
"Shut up." I snarled back, and raised my hand.
"Yes, Miss Hale?" Mr. Burkhart looked up, as all the other students in the cramped room stayed focused, daring not to look back at me from the front of the room.
"May I be excused from class? I feel ill..." I made it up, like always. I was the "sick" Cullen of the family. Esme always had to come "pick me up" from school. I thought it was silly, since I've been around since before these people's parents' grandparents, but it was only helping us blend in.
"May I be excused also? I would like to walk Erisa down, if that is alright, Mr. Burkhart." Edward fluttered his eye lashes a little, and if it was a girl teacher, she would have been had at first bite. Mr. Burkhart just nodded as Edward and I scooped up our backpacks. I remained seated, as Edward strolled casually up to Mr. Burkhart, grabbed the excuse pass from him, and came back to the table to grab his textbook.
"Stop charming, and let's go..." I muttered, annoyed with his antics. He was trying way too hard to blend in with the crowd of humans.
"Okay, fine. We can leave now, if that's okay with you... Alice already informed me you would want to leave early today, so I got this..." Edward told me through our minds, as he held a hall slip under the table before we left. I looked down, and snickered. "We can give it to the office on our way out, so we can both be excused."
"You HAVE to tell me where you get those from..." I smiled, for the first time in weeks, and Edward smiled back. We both laughed in our minds as we walked out of the door together, smiling and totally at peace now.
