The Race: My Summer in Driver's Ed

Disclaimer: I didn't dream up Twilight. That was all Stephenie Meyer.

EPOV

Another boring day. Another boring Summer. Alice keeps bugging me to go shopping with her, well really she just wants me to hold her bags, Jasper is out hunting, (the reason Alice is annoying me) Emmett is just whining about a wrestling match he lost to Jasper, and Rosalie is working on her BMW because Alice asked her to shopping first. So to sum it all up, Jasper is the reason for my hypothetical headache. Darn you Jasper. Where's Bella you ask? Well, she is in La Push hanging out with Jacob. Why is my existence such a waste? Maybe I should call Bella to see how she's doing.

"Hi Edward."

My sweet angel.

"Hello Bella, how are you?"

"Good..... Jacob and I were just riding our motorcycles"she admitted sheepishly.

WHAT!! Alright Edward, calm down, for her sake, I'm sure she's fine. Of course she's fine. Except for the fact that the last time she was on that horrid machine she got a concussion, again.

"Edward?" Bella asked, her tone worried.

"I thought we had agreed that the motorcycle was dangerous?" I said between my teeth. So much for controlling my temper.

"Well yeah, but don't worry, I'm okay."

"Hey Bloodsucker, Bella's perfectly safe with me so you can stop having a non-existing heart attack," Jacob said.

Ah, what I wouldn't do to have him walking on three legs instead of four.

"As long as she's wearing a helmet."

"Sure, sure," he dismissed.

"Edward I am absolutely fine, no bumps, bruises, and all of my bones are attached. Besides, I was heading out to your house right before you called," Bella said trying to reassure me.

"Okay Bella, I will see you soon."

"Hey Edward are you talking to Jacob? I have something to ask him!" Emmett cried. We'll see if the wolf thinks Jasper cheats.

Really Emmett? Really? Honestly he's making a mountain out of a mole hill. Jasper has had years of military training before Emmett was even born. Is it really surprising that he pinned him down is 10 seconds even with Emmett's strength? But since he might shut up about the whole thing after talking to Jacob, I put the phone on speaker.

"Hey dog so you'll never believe what happened to me last night!"

"More like I'll never care," Jacob said as he groaned.

"Just listen! So there I was sitting in the couch watching TV and "Smackdown" comes on. I was totally inspired! So then grab Jasper who's sitting next to me and bet him the usual that I can pin him down for 40 seconds, 'cause I mean have you seen my pecks? So then he's like-"

"Wait what's the usual?"

"Don't interrupt me!" Why do people interrupt me all the time? Don't they know it hurts my feelings?

I can't help but laugh, Emmett is such a baby.

Edward, stop laughing at me! "Anyway, so then Jasper's like "you're on" and then we started to wrestle and-"

"And then Jasper totally pulverized him!"exclaimed Alice .

"Alice! Don't interrupt me!" Emmett whined.

"Get over it! Bella are you there?"

"Yeah what's up?" Bella said with uncertainty, probably imagining all the torture Alice could dream up.

What's up is that your t-shirt and Jeans outfit you're wearing is super ugly .What's up is that your hair hang down and straight is totally boring. What's up is that a splash of makeup would make you so gorgeous that Edward's eyes would pop out of his head, to sum it all up: Makeover!

"She'll never let you Alice," I warned.

"Don't be so sure Edward." I already saw she would.

"Bella you need to get home right now so we can make you over!"

"Not gonna happen Alice."

"We'll see about that," Alice said smugly, certain she would get her way as always.

Ugh, I hate it when people interrupt me. I have a great story.

"Alice that is great. Why don't you and Bella get right to that. Anyway back to my story!" Emmett said, trying to get people to listen to him.

Really, no one cares.

"Alright everyone why don't we get off the phone so Bella can get over here faster." It's the only way I'll get any alone time with her.

Edward you are so boring. Hey, I got an idea! Race. Across town. Wolves versus Vamps .I'm so brilliant.

"Hey wolf you like to gamble?"

"What do you have in mind giant leech?" Hmmm... Jacob is seriously interested in what Emmett has to say. Congrats Emmett.

"You and your friends against us, in a race across town."

"What kinda race?"

"Car race." Emmett said, bouncing up and down in an Alice like manor.

"Cool, we're so in."

"I want to race too!" Bella cried.

Bella racing with us? Bad. Bella racing against us? Worse. Bella racing with the wolves? Horrible.

"Bella I don't want you to be in this race."

"Oh come on Edward! It'll be fun."

"Don't worry Bells. If your bloodsucker won't let you have any fun then I will."

Darn you Jacob Black.

"Bella, I forbid you from participating in this race!" There is no way I am letting my delicate little angel be part of a car race across town.

"Controlling, isn't he?"

"Jacob stay out of this, and Edward…. Please?

"No Bella."

"Please?"

"No." Stand your ground Edward.

"Come on. I want to whip some Quileute butt!"

"As tempting as that sounds, no."

"Please, please, please, please, Edward?"

"Well –sigh- okay." Why does that girl have so much control over me?

"Yay! I'll be right over!"
