I could tell Alice knew something was happening today. I also knew that I have no idea of what that is. Yesterday night, she had tried to get me to drive myself to school today…

I was laying on my bed, trying to sleep, with Edward's strong cool arms holding me securely to him. Edward was running his fingers through my still damp hair, humming my lullaby in his smooth, melodic voice. I felt my eyelids drooping slowly, and snuggled deeper into his chest, sighing contently. His arms tightened around me before suddenly going rigid. My eyes snapped open, all signs of fatigue forgotten.

"Edward, what's wrong?" I asked, panicked.

"Alice," he growled. I was about to ask him to elaborate, when abruptly, I felt an unnatural breeze coming from my window. I turned my head expecting to see a small pixie, and I was not disappointed. Alice was smiling, a mixture of smugness, enthusiasm, and excitement, with mischief being the most prominent emotion, masking her face. I cringed into Edward's chest, scared. She looked at me and rolled her eyes, but her facial expression didn't change.

"Bella," she said innocently. I knew her too well to know that whatever she was about to tell me was anything but innocent. I felt Edward's chest vibrating from the low growls he was emitting, but Alice paid no heed to him; her eyes remained focused on me.

"Alice," Edward said through clenched teeth. I could tell he was fighting to keep his composure. "What are you hiding?"he asked, exasperated, his hold around me tightening convulsively.

She ignored him, her eyes never leaving my fearful ones. "Bella, can you drive your truck to school tomorrow, for me…please?" she asked, pleadingly. Immediately, suspicion and annoyance overcame my fear. I glared at my sister to be for even suggesting it and, apparently, Edward was already annoyed. Her stare never wavered. Why does she want me to drive to school by myself? I knew she would argue with me for the decision she already knew I would obviously make.

"Why?" I asked, confusion and fear worming its way back into my tone. Edward was sitting silently beside me, glaring at his favorite sister.

"Just trust me, Bella," she said sweetly.

"No," I said, answering her request and her statement. Not that I don't trust her, but Alice is simply Alice. My suspicions were right, she was expecting this. Her expression changed. Without another word, Alice's eyebrows rose, creasing in the middle and her lips turned into the most heartbreaking pout. I remember this expression from when she convinced me- manipulated being the more appropriate word- into letting her plan our wedding. I felt my self crumbling. Fast. I sighed and Alice smiled widely, seeing an easy win. Edward suddenly looked at me and the intensity of his stare caused me to take in a sharp breath in a barely audible gasp. His topaz eyes smoldered and burned as his eyes bore into mine. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my breathing growing more shallow and desperate. He looked deep into my eyes pleadingly. I barely registered Alice stamping her foot; Edward's stare never wavered.

"Bella," Edward breathed, his cool sweet breath fanning my face. Somewhere in the back of my mind registered that he was dazzling me, but the less noble side of my mind didn't care. Edward continued to gaze at me and it took me a slow second to realize he wanted me to respond.

"Yes, Edward?" I breathed, barely aware of what I was saying; I was too caught up in this Edward induced trance- no matter how unfair of an advantage he was taking. I felt his frame vibrate lightly in a silent chuckle. Edward's hands, which had been locked around my waist, moved up to my shoulders and back down to interlock with my fingers. He leaned down to place a chaste kiss on my lips, simultaneously bringing our interlaced hands above my head.

He ran his lips along my jaw line, leaving a trail of kisses down to the hollow of my throat. He brought his cool lips right to my ear "Will you let me drive you to school tomorrow?" he whispered gently. This confused me; doesn't he always drive me to school? Slowly, I opened my eyes, which I don't even remember closing, and stared dumbly at his glorious face. He smiled at my confused expression before raising his delicate eyebrow, waiting for me to respond. I nodded helplessly, which caused his smile to turn smug, triumphant. He pressed his lips to mine before I could register more than that. His lips moved against mine eagerly, his hands releasing mine to frame my face, and I greedily weaved my fingers through his silky hair. He moaned in response, before breaking away, allowing me to breathe. He grinned at me joyfully before placing one last chaste kiss and turning me around so I could face his visibly fuming sister.

I had completely forgotten that Alice was here and had seen our rather intimate moment. As this realization dawned on me, I turned my now burning face toward Edward, using my hair to shield me although, I'm sure Alice could feel my blush anyway. I felt Edward chuckle once before kissing my hair.

"Fine Bella," Alice said innocently. Surprised, I turned my head back toward her in time to see a sinister smile plastered on her f ace before she leaped gracefully out the window. I heaved a long, exasperated sigh. Edward chuckled and pulled me closer to his chest and started humming my lullaby.

"I love you, Bella" Edward whispered, placing a gentle kiss on my forehead.

"I love you too, Edward," I responded automatically. More tired than I suspected, I drifted off into unconsciousness…

So now, just like any other day, I am with Edward in his Volvo driving to school. My fingers are drawing lazy patterns on his hand. I was still trying to figure out what could possibly make Alice ask me to take my truck today? I turned my head to the window, glaring at the dark overcast that continuously covers Forks. I don't know how long I stared out the window, but then I felt cool lips on my forehead. I turned my head slightly to see him frowning slightly.

"Are you alright?" he asked gently. I sighed and nodded once; he didn't look convinced. Edward put his finger under my chin and guided my face up to meet his eyes. "I don't believe you," he said gently. "Tell me, please," he said pleadingly. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw people looking at us, eyes straining to see something through the tinted window. I tried to pull away, but Edward was having none of it. "You're not going anywhere until you tell me," he threatened darkly. Although I knew he wouldn't let me be late for class, I could tell that he was worried. I sighed, smiling gently and placed my fingertips on his cheek.

"Nothing is wrong," I began; I made a face at the word. "I don't think there is anyway. I'm just trying to figure out why Alice wanted me to drive my truck today," I stated, my voice turning the statement into a complaint. Edward chuckled once and kissed my cheek.

"I was thinking the same thing, actually," he whispered, his lips never leaving my skin. "She was blocking me last night, and right now as well," he added, and then he lifted his face to glare out the passenger side window. Confused, I turned my head in time to see a yellow Porsche pull up next to us. Alice poked her head out the open window to wave at us. Edward growled in response, and turned to get out of the car. Simultaneously, he was opening my door; I was surprised to see that no one else was out here except for us.

Edward took my hand, interlocking our fingers, his eyes never leaving Alice. Alice continued to smile up at him angelically; Edward growled menacingly at her before turning toward our first hour class. I looked over my shoulder and saw Alice talking to Rosalie and Jasper, who had just pulled up in Emmett's jeep. Seeming to sense my gaze, she turned to blow me a kiss. I smiled timidly back, before turning my attention back to Edward. He seemed calmer; his body posture was more relaxed. I lifted our interlocked hands to place a gentle kiss on his palm. He smiled down at me and placed a loving kiss on my lips.

"You know," I said in a nonchalant tone, "I doubt that whatever Alice is planning is that bad," I said calmly. Edward chuckled and kissed my hair.

"Maybe," was all he said.

We settled into our seats just as the bell rang. Mr. Berty came into the classroom with a stack of different color papers. I looked at Edward, about to ask what they were, but I was not expecting his expression; no word could describe how angry he looked. It seems our earlier conversation was irrelevant to what is in the teacher's hands. I looked back over to Edward; he was paler than usual, his knuckles straining to not break the desk. I put my hand over one of his but he didn't respond. I followed his gaze and then I saw Alice looking at Edward from outside the door. I looked back at Edward, confused. It was clear that whatever Alice was telling him, he definitely didn't like it…

"Okay class," Mr. Berty said, loud enough to catch everyone's attention. I rubbed circles on Edward's hand with my thumb. He still didn't move. I looked back at the door. Alice seemed to sense my gaze because she then turned to look at me and gave me a reassuring smile, although, her lower lips trembled. I turned back to Mr. Berty, completely confused.

"Okay so Forks High School is having its annual Fall Festival charity event," he said half enthused. "Each class is going to have three participants in the festival and our class is in charge of, the kissing booth."

My eyes widened as the realization hit me. I was already expecting the next words that came out of his mouth.

"Bella, Lauren, and Jessica are going to be our participants this year." I blanched. "Ladies, the festival is this Friday. You will have Angela here," he motioned his hand toward her, "in charge. There are a few rules, you will discuss it today, after school. Hmm, let's see," he raked his eyes back over the paper, seeing if he forgot anything. "Nope, that's it for now, Angela will give you the rules at the end of the day," he said as he turned to begin writing notes. I exhaled in a gust, not even aware I was holding my breath.

Already, some of the boys in the classroom were giving me what I assume to be their most attractive smiles; Edward growled in response.

I put my head in my hands and tried desperately to steady my breathing, and hopefully stop the room from spinning. I felt Edward's hand rubbing soothing circles on my back. I turned slightly to look at him and he brushed the hair away from my face.

"Are you okay?" he asked anxiously, barely loud enough for me to hear. I could only nod once, never lifting my head. He lovingly kissed my forehead. Edward took my hand under the table, rubbing soothing circles with his thumb. I looked back up toward the door and saw Alice's desperate glance before she disappeared. "I love you," Edward whispered in my ear. I smiled gently and turned toward him.

"I love you too," I responded without much thought. I was slightly worried about Edward's temper in the situation, and judging by Alice's heartbroken expression a second ago, she had no idea about what was going on, or, she was too late. I sighed, exasperated. I had no idea how to fix a problem such as this, or, if there is any way to fix this at all. I shook my head slightly, trying to clear the thought. Edward continued to rub my back, kissing me every so often, and murmuring reassurances in my hair; if I didn't know his voice so well, the uncertainty and aggravation underlying his words would have been hard to detect. I turned toward him once more and he kissed me once more. Edward picked up his pen just in time for the teacher to turn around.

It was going to be a long week…
