It was the start of a new day and Bella was already exhausted. Edward was already going on his all too common speel about her safty. Somehow it erked her to know that was the first thing on his mind.
"Don't fall asleep on the desk before I get here," he said in a low tone, peering down at her with disapproval. "Laying your head down on all that piled up bacteria and dried drool.."
His over protective nature was once endearing but now it did nothing but annoy her. And despite her efforts to soothe his worry- he pressed it on her. She rolled her eyes, nuzzling deeper into the sleeve of her jacket. It couldn't shut him up. But at least it could assist her in tuning him out. Mission completed- as the teacher began- she was out like a light.
Bella was awakened by the sound of shuffling students, and a distant bell, accompanied by Edward's velvet voice.
"Wake up Bella, Darling..."
She groaned in response. Prying herself up from her arms and shifting her gaze around the evacuated classroom. It took a long moment for the embarrassment of her situation to seem in, and she lerched to her feet. Stumbling a bit, causing herself to almost colide with the floor. But as expected she was caught instead by Edward's arm. When she looked to him he wore a look of annoyance, mixed with worry. Only just a bit, though.
"Second hour,"she breathed.
He nodded in achknowledgement. "It is."
Bella nodded. Moving away from him and toward the door. A low chuckle sounded like an alarm behind her. She reacted as if it were, too. Cocking her head back to see him proudly presenting her bag to her.
'Almost forgot..' she thought to herself, reaching a hand back but to her surprise- he held it away from her.
"What's going on with you?" He asked, frowning.
What was wrong with her? No, better yet, What was his issue lately? She didn't want to alert him that he was being sufficatingly attentive since she'd went and saved him from the vulturi. That she would have appreciated this kind of longing- BEFORE- he had up and left her.
"Edward.." she said, testing the feel of the words on her lips. Letting out a weary breath in the form of a sigh. "I'm just tired." Her sentence was finished like an unwanted essay. Despite the shortness of it, she felt as though she'd just spoke a lifetime of words. Maybe it was the depression that still lingered in her or the bitter taste of reality.. her reality.. but it drained her to be around him.
Edward had his eyes focused on her intensely, as if trying to push past the fact he couldn't read her mind to force himself into her thoughts. It was obvious he thought she was lying, which wasn't exactly wrong on his part.
"Can I have my bag, please?" She asked bitterly.
Edward furrowed his eyebrows before leaning in and pressing his lips to hers. The feeling was discomforting for some reason.. she lightly moved her lips in sync with his. It didn't feel the same as their first kiss.. It felt.. wrong. Soon she had caught the strap of her backpack in her hand and tugged it from his distracted grasp. Jerking away from the kiss and forging a smile. She'd gotten so good at faking those sorts of things in the time he'd been gone..
"See you at lunch." her playful tone was enough to lift his spirits. Edward smiled back to her contently.
"Can't wait. Miss you already."
"See you then." she turned, making her way quickly out of the class. His eyes were burning holes in her back.. she couldn't have gotten out of that line of fire quick enough.
What was wrong with her today...
