We were sitting in biology. Mr. Banner was busy with his lecture on medical diseases throughout time. We had already studied this material, but after the test we had last week – which many failed – he felt the need to go over it again. I decided to write Edward a note.
Bored?
You have no idea.
Not too long now, then I will.
I guess so.
When are you going hunting again?
This weekend. Em wants to go to Rainier again, but Alice wants to go somewhere nearer to Portland. She plans on shopping after we're done.
Where do you want to go?
It doesn't really matter to me. Carlisle and Esme are staying behind, they went this morning.
I don't need babysitters!
They're not babysitting you, Bella. They're just keeping you safe. Victoria's still out there, and we both know you attract danger like a magnet.
Did Alice see something that would make your caution necessary?
I'm just trying to keep you safe. We still don't know who was in your room the other night.
Edward? Tell me.
She hasn't seen what would happen, per say. She just saw you getting hurt until we decided that Esme and Carlisle will be here to protect you.
Oh.
Don't worry, it will be fine.
Okay.
This teacher has to start getting has facts straight. Half of what he's saying is wrong.
You would know. How many times have you done biology before?
I lost count. But medical school…
Right. Twice, isn't it?
Yes. And the Spanish Influenza isn't one bit like he's describing it.
Are you okay with listening to that? I mean…
I'm absolutely fine, love. But Newton is getting on my nerves.
What is he doing?
I really don't think you want to know.
Please?
Basically he's plotting ways to get you. He imagines himself fighting me, and breaking my jaw, where after you run into his arms, and he takes you to his house… I swear if he doesn't stop fantasizing about you he won't be alive much longer. Jessica and Lauren aren't much better, except it me they're thinking about. Angela and Ben are the only ones in this entire school who's minds don't make me want to throw up.
Everyone still believes that we're going to break up, don't they? You'd think after all this time they'd realize it's not going to happen.
I know. I mean, we are engaged. Not that they know that. Speaking of which, Alice is planning on shopping after school.
She's not taking me with her, is she?
Sorry.
Fine. We both know we can't bet against her.
Atleast Jazz and I are going with you. He should be able to 'distract' her after a while.
Gross! I really didn't want to think about them like that!
Atleast you haven't seen or heard Emmett and Rose before. They would make Alice and Jasper look tame. Do you know how many things they have destroyed before?
Can we PLEASE just change the subject now?
Do you want to go to our meadow after shopping? I thought maybe afterwards we could go to Olympia for dinner. There's something I'd like to give you.
I'd like that. But can't we go to dinner somewhere closer?
You know that with my driving it wouldn't take that long. Besides, you've finally given me permission to spoil you.
Just please don't tell me you got me a car! I know our deal was that you could but my truck is still fine.
I know, love. And don't worry, I haven't gotten you a car yet. But that's sort of what tonight's about. We're going to look at a few dealerships. But that also isn't what I wanted to give you.
And can I maybe know what this thing is that you want to give me?
Not a chance. It's a surprise.
Fine! Why are you laughing?
You'll never guess what movie we're watching in English tomorrow?
What?
Dracula.
Oh hell! That's just… Oh gosh! I'm not going to be able to not make comparisons. Burning in sunlight! I much rather prefer s –
The note was ripped from my hand, and Mr. Banners furious face appeared in my line of vision.
"Miss Swan, do you know what my rule is about passing notes in class?" Before I could answer, he continued, "Miss Stanley, come and read this out loud. Do not leave anything out."
Jessica stood up, and took the note. She was grinning from ear to ear. I looked at Edward in alarm. He looked completely at ease, and slightly amused.
Bored?
You have no idea.
Not too long now, then I will.
Everyone looked around, bewildered at that statement.
I guess so.
When are you going hunting again?
This weekend. Em wants to go to Rainier again, but Alice wants to go somewhere nearer to Portland. She plans on shopping after we're done.
"Alice goes HUNTING with you?" Lauren yelled. Edward just shrugged.
Only Alice. Where do you want to go?
It doesn't really matter to me. Carlisle and Esme are staying behind, though.
I don't need babysitters!
They're not babysitting you, Bella. They're just keeping you safe. Victoria's still out there, and we both know you attract danger like a magnet.
"Who's Victoria?" Jessica asked, looking up.
I couldn't reply. Edward took the liberty of doing it for me, "She's just someone who has a grudge against Bella and I."
Did Alice see something that would make your caution necessary?
I'm just trying to keep you safe. We still don't know who was in your room the other night.
Everyone looked shocked at this.
Edward? Tell me what she saw.
"Saw?" Ben asked.
She hasn't seen what would happen, per say. She just saw you getting hurt until we decided that Esme and Carlisle will be here to protect you.
"Is Alice like psychic or something?" Angela asked.
"You could say that," Edward answered.
"You're joking," Eric said.
No answer.
Oh.
Don't worry, it will be fine.
Okay.
This teacher has to start getting has facts straight. Half of what he's saying is wrong.
"Excuse me?" Mr. Banner just about shouted at Edward.
You would know. How many times have you done biology before?
Everyone looked at Edward. From their expressions and Edward suppressed laughter it seemed like they thought he had failed biology.
I lost count. But medical school…
There were gasps around the room.
"You've been to medical school?" Mr. Banner asked, astonished.
Right. Twice, isn't it?
"TWICE?!" Most people shouted.
Yes. And the Spanish Influenza isn't one bit like he's describing it.
Are you okay with listening to that? I mean…
"What did you mean, Bella?" Lauren sneered.
I scrambled to come up with an appropriate answer. "Most of his family was lost during that time. If his one uncle hadn't survived, he wouldn't be here."
Lauren huffed, and Edward looked at me with a small, sad smile.
I'm absolutely fine, love. But Newton is getting on my nerves.
What is he doing?
"Yes, what am I doing?" Mike grumbled.
I really don't think you want to know.
Please?
Basically he's plotting ways to get you. He imagines himself fighting me, and breaking my jaw, where after you run into his arms, and he takes you to his house…
"How… How did you know that?" Mike stuttered. The rest of the class looked torn between amusement, disgust and suspicion.
I swear if he doesn't stop fantasizing about you he won't be alive much longer.
"What are you going to do, kill me?" Mike challenged. Edward was trying to suppress laughter. It seemed that Mike was doubting Edwards ability to do it.
Jessica and Lauren aren't much better, except it me they're thinking about.
Jessica and Lauren looked horrified.
"You read minds?" Angela gasped.
Edward was grinning from ear to ear.
Angela and Ben are the only ones in this entire school who's minds don't make me want to throw up.
Angela and Ben smiled slightly at this.
Everyone still believes that we're going to break up, don't they? You'd think after all this time they'd realize it's not going to happen.
I know. I mean, we are engaged.
Everyone turned to stare at us. Edward took my hand, while I was blushing furiously.
"You're ENGAGED?!" Lauren screeched. Thank goodness my father already knows. This is going to be across the whole town before the day is over.
Not that they know that. Speaking of which, Alice is planning on shopping after school.
She's not taking me with her, is she?
Sorry.
Fine. We both know we can't bet against her.
Atleast Jazz and I are going with you. He should be able to 'distract' her after a while.
Some looked disgusted, while others looked lustful.
Gross! I really didn't want to think about them like that!
Atleast you haven't seen or heard Emmett and Rose before. They would make Alice and Jasper look tame. Do you know how many things they have destroyed before?
Lust was starting to overrule disgust.
Can we PLEASE just change the subject now?
Do you want to go to our meadow after shopping? I thought maybe afterwards we could go to Olympia for dinner. There's something I'd like to give you.
"You're going to drive to Olympia for dinner?" Jessica asked.
"Alice takes us to LA for a day of shopping. This is nothing," I answered.
I'd like that. But can't we go to dinner somewhere closer?
You know that with my driving it wouldn't take that long. Besides, you've finally given me permission to spoil you.
Just please don't tell me you got me a car! I know our deal was that you could but my truck is still fine.
"He's going to buy you a CAR?!" Mike shouted.
I know, love. And don't worry, I haven't gotten you a car yet. But that's sort of what tonight's about. We're going to look at a few dealerships. But that also isn't what I wanted to give you.
And can I maybe know what this thing is that you want to give me?
Not a chance. It's a surprise.
Fine! Why are you laughing?
You'll never guess what movie we're watching in English tomorrow?
"How do you know what we're watching anyway?" Eric asked.
What?
Dracula.
Oh hell! That's just… Oh gosh! I'm not going to be able to not make comparisons. Burning in sunlight! I much rather prefer s –
"That's it," Jessica said.
"What we're you going to compare it to, Bella?" Mike asked.
Just then the bell rang. Edward and I hurried to the car, laughing the whole way there.
A/N: And that's it! Random, I know. I've had this idea for awhile now, and I started writing it during maths. Hope you enjoyed it! Please review
