Although I may wish that I was the Genius

that thought up of twilight, sadly I am not. (but I can pretend, right?)

Chapter 1

Bella's POV

I was on my way to my car, thinking about the overload of homework I had just gotten, the most important of which were an essay and an exam in trig, not my best subject. I guess I would the best I could! As Renee always says "Case Surrah Surrah" (French for What Will be Will be. Not the best advice to take, considering Renee's motto had gotten her, always in a situation she needed help getting out of.)

Although I had left the classroom much before Edward, since he was talking to a teacher, he still caught up to me in no time flat. Stupid vampires I grumbled to myself.

"Huh? Edward said clearly unable to decipher what I had just said. "Do you want to come over today? It seems like I'm always at your house. When was the last time you came over?"

"As much as I wish I could, I have ridiculous amounts of homework."

"And who would be a better tutor than me?"

I knew he was much smarter that I, and he could try to teach me, but there was no way I'd be able to concentrate with him.

"Oh come on, I promise no distractions. Just work."

It bugged me that even though he couldn't technically read my mind, he always knew what I was thinking. It was sad how easy I was to read.

I tried very hard to look down while I was arguing with him because I knew that the moment my eyes traveled to his face, I would succumb into a state where I would do anything that he wanted. I would lose my thinking process. Hence the not being able to study around him.

"Edward"- he cut me off before I could say anything else

"I promise we'll study. It won't even take the whole time. Once we're done, you can continue your game of chess with Alice."

I never really understood the game of chess and seeing as it was often played in the Cullen Family, soon my family; I decided it was time to learn. Alice had been trying to teach me and now we were in the middle of a game. Why I even try to play against her, I have no idea because there is no way I would win seeing as she can predict every move I make. Again, stupid vampires.

In the end, I gave in. There just isn't any point in arguing with Edward. I don't know why I try; no matter what the circumstances, he always wins.

At The Cullens Later That Day

As Edward promised, I was able to finish studying with time to spare. But, I was also right. I was not able to concentrate with him teaching me, so in the end; Alice had to do all the work, which wasn't much better because she was constant chatter about the wedding. After the studying, we continued the game of chess with the whole family watching. It was nerve wracking, to say the least. We were in the middle of the game, when Alice saw a vision, and started acting sullen and refused to make another move.

I wonder what she is up to now. I thought to myself.

"What is it now, Alice? What have you seen me doing wrong this time?"

"I didn't see anything. I just realized that we haven't met Renee. The only one who has seen Renee was Edward."

"Is it really necessary? As soon as I get married, Edward will change me. I won't be able to have any connection to any of my other family any more" I said, realization of this hitting me. Hard. I knew that it would happen, but the wedding was only a couple of months away. This was all the time I had left with my family. I tried to keep a cool face, but it was hard. I didn't know how Jake was able to keep up the cool, calm, Sam like façade so well. My watering eyes gave me away.

"I think I have a right to see my sister's mother." Alice said, while coming over to give me a hug. I knew she was right, and I couldn't think of anything better than having the people I love, all together for one last time before the wedding. "I think that a trip to Phoenix is long over do." Alice continued.

I knew she was right. I wanted this, but the last time that my Mother had been even close to the Cullens, had been near fatal for me, and I thought also for my Mother. Not such

great memories.

Edward could sense that I was hesitant and came over to take me out of Alice's arms and into a cold, hard, loving embrace.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" He whispered to me, so that only I could hear. It was something he had repeated to me numerous times. It was useless. I loved him more than everything. He was my world. Of course I would miss Renee and Charlie, but everyone has to make sacrifices. Who knows, maybe here is a bit of possibility that in a couple of years I will have the restraint to see them.

Yeah right my knowledgeable side of me told me. Even if you had the control, you would never endanger their lives. You love them too much.

Shut up I told that half of me. I know that I would never do that. It's something called wishful thinking.

Look at me. I was having an actual argument with myself. With actual words. I really was going crazy. Maybe a trip to Renee would be good.

"I'm ready" was my final response to Edward. He knew the answer before they even left my lips, but he was loving, caring, and everything I could ever need, and then some. He wanted everything possible for me. He would never force me into anything I wasn't fully ready for. One of the countless reasons I loved him.

So that's how three days later I was on a plane with a bunch of Vampires to go visit my Mom. Sounds like normal, right? In my world, that IS normal.
