My Happy Ever After...Yeah, I Wish.
Chapter 5. Bad News.
Tuesday night, only a few hours until our first day of school together, and I was quite scared. I was worried that I wasn't Dartmouth material, but Edward had managed to convince me that, if anyone could do this, i could. I spent hours packing my bag with folders of old work, just incase any of that came up somewhere.
"Bella, please, would you stop worrying, its driving me insane, you're going to be fine."
Ugh. I hated that word. Fine. It was just like another way to say, its not going to be great, but it won't be completely terrible.
"Edward, I can't help it, i'm sorry. I don't think i can do.."
"Shh, love, you're going to be great, trust me, you'll just blend right in with everyone else there!" He interupted me, before leaning over and planting a kiss on my cheek. "Come on, time to put Ness to bed"
"Edward," i hissed.
"Oops, sorry" he said, grimacing.
We both chuckled for a second, and then I went to get Renesmee from Jacob and put her to bed.
"Aw, no fair Bells. Please, 10 more minutes? we were reading her favourite book.." He said, eyes pleading.
"Oh, i guess just ten minutes wouldn't hurt.." i said as i walked over and sat with them.
Renesmee continued to read from 'Merchant of Venice' in a clear, confident voice.
"Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time." she said, and looked over to Edward and I.
"Keep going, Renesmee. You're doing so well" Edward encouraged her.
The next morning, we were getting ready to leave when Renesmee said "Good Luck!" to us both.
"Thankyou, Renesmee, You have a good day with Jacob" Edward replied, hugging her tightly.
We left the house then, and drove to the main entrance of the college. It was so strange to walk through school grounds, and i immediatley understood how Edward must of felt back in high school. Having everyone stare at us, was a bit too much really, it was flattering, but i soon began to wish i didnt look so, perfect.
"Wow, who..are they?" I heard one girl say in the parking lott.
"How much do you think they pay to look like that? They must have a great plastic surgeon.." Another girl whispered.
Edward and I looked to eachother, and i giggled.
"Blend in? How does that work again?" I teased, and he chuckled quietly.
Our first class was so easy, felt like high school standards. We were studying Wuthering Heights. A book i had read more times than i would like to imagine. It was such a breeze. We had taken a number of different classes, although Edward had already passed every single one of them, years ago. The next class we went to, was the same subject Edward and I met in. Biology. Also in this class were the two girls from the parking lott. And one boy, who would not stop looking at me. I found it really uncomfortable, having him stare at me that way. Edward was trying not to laugh, obviously he found this poor guy's thoughts rather funny.
"what is it Edward?" I asked, curious
"He thinks your gorgeous, of course, he's having a difficult time controlling his thoughts" he chuckled as he whispered in my ear.
"Oh, well, that's.. flattering?" i giggled.
"He's coming over love" he laughed.
"Hi, um.. my name is.. is Mathew. I, i couldnt help noticing that you were.. new here" he stuttered through his sentence, poor guy.
"Hey, I'm Bella, this is my husband Edward" I said, cringing at my own voice
Mathew's face fell, in dissapointment, much like J. Jenks' assistant Max had, when i was trying to save Renesmee last year. "Just my luck.." Mathew muttered under his breath, not realising i could hear him. He walked off, and sat with his head down. He didn't look up at us for the rest of the lesson. At the end of the lesson, two girls wandered over to us, the girls from the parking lott. Their name's were Louise and Janice.
"Hey, Im Janice, you're new here right? Would you like us to show you around?"
"Hello, My name is Edward, and this is my wife Bella, um, yeah sure, that would be nice" he replied, so polite, as always.
The rest of the day, we spent with Janice, Louise and Mathew, who was also friends with them.
Most days were just the same, surprisingly simple lessons, and before we knew it, we were half way through the semester. One night, Alice called Edward, I could here every word she said to him, and it didn't sound good
"Edward! Get Bella, Jacob, Renesmee, you have to come home, now!" she yelled down the phone
"Alice, alice hold on, what's going on?" he asked her quietly
"Edward, I had a vision! The Volturi, they're coming!"
"Even Aro?" edward waited for her answer
"Yes! Aro, Cauis, Marcus, and of course his best weapons." she sounded really worried
"felix? jane and alec? demetri?" he asked, putting emphasis on Demetri. I still didn't know why Edward hated him the most, they were all terrifying to me.
"Edward, come home right now!" she yelled again and the line went dead.
I was already packing everything before Edward could say one word, Jacob sat up with Renesmee.
"What's going on?" he asked me as i flew across the room, picking up everything in my path
"We're leaving, now." i replied "put Renesmee in the car please, we're going home"
Nobody spoke much on the way home, only Edward answering Jacob or Renesmee's thoughts.
"No Renesmee, nothing bad is going to happen to us" he promised, although by the look on his face, he didn't seem so sure of that himself.
