A/N: Ugh! I hate colds! I'm going to write this chapter in Alice's point of view, you'll see why. I have a whole bunch of homework to catch up on so I might not have the next chapter finished by tomorrow but I'll try!

Disclaimer: I have a good explanation as to why I said that I owned Twilight so please don't sue. You see, I got assaulted by a rabid badger that was hiding under my bed and because of all of the stress, my appendix burst and while I was under the anesthetics, I may have said that I owned twilight but it was all the badger's fault so sue him, not me!
APOV (Alice)
It was so warm under the blankets and I was so content in my sleepy state that I really didn't want to worry about what time it was. I thought I was at home until I finally decided to open my eyes. I was shocked when I remembered I was at college, then I looked at my alarm clock.
"Crap!" I whispered. It was 8:40! Class started at 9:00 and I must have forgotten to set the alarm clock. I looked over at Bella who was tangled in a heap of sheets. I walked over to her and whispered.
"Bella, we're late! You need to wake up."
"Just let me finish my asparagus." She replied groggily. I remembered from sleepovers that we had had that Bella talked in her sleep. I remembered when I used to have full blown conversations with her, it was so funny!
"No Bella, you already ate all of your zucchini, you've had enough vegetables!"
"But I only have one more bite left!" She complained
"Why haven't you eaten any of your sweet potatoes, do you have something against orange vegetables?
"I just don't want to offend the oopma loompas." She retorted. This was funny but we were really late. Someone was going to have to take a shower tonight if we were going to make it to class on time.
I shook Bella's shoulder firmly. "Bella! It's time to wake up!
We're really late!" I yelled in her ear. She jumped up in shock, her forehead running into my jaw causing me to bite my tongue.
"Oooow!" I shrieked. I tasted blood in my mouth.
"Oh my gosh! What time is it?!"
"We hath thithteen minutes to get to cass" (we have fifteen minutes to get to class) I said with my tongue stuck out, trying to hold back the tears. I blinked a few times and got a glass of water. Bella was already up, frantically running around gathering her things for the shower.
"I can't believe we overslept! We can't be late for the first day, what would our teachers think?!"
"The would think we were tired and that we forgot to set our alarm clock" I said, pulling my jeans up to my waist. We got out of the door with three minutes to get to our class. We were running through the halls when Bella saw something and slid backwards on the recently mopped floors. She stumbled back and fell on top of me. I went crashing onto the ground, getting soaked from the water on the ground. Bella was still squishing me. I heard a voice and footsteps coming towards us. My eye hurt like there was something in it when I realized it was Bella's elbow! Suddenly, Bella's weight was lifted off of me. Thanks the Heavens! I could breath! Bella wasn't big or anything, I was just so small!
"Oh God! You're bleeding!" A mans voice asked. "Are you O.K.?!"
Bella giggled. "Yeah I'm fine…maybe." Bella was out of it. I opened my eyes and saw her in a frantic boy's arms.
"Are you O.k.? I didn't see you." I stood in shock taking in all that just happened. Yeah, we were definitely going to be late. I remembered my eye hurt.
"Do you know where the nurse is here? Should we call and ambulance for her?" I asked him.
"The nurse is upstairs but there is an elevator down the hall" We walked to the nurse and he told me what happened. I was still wet, this was one of my favorite outfits, it was a long black shirt with big colorful polka dots on it with my favorite jeans. We finally got to the nurse when I realized that this was the guy that Bella ran into in the cafeteria yesterday. He must be a bad luck charm! I hadn't paid attention to what he looked like yesterday and forgot to breathe when I looked into his beautiful green eyes. No wonder Bella has a crush on him, he's hot! I was pulled out of my train of thought by the nurse who was rushing around and getting ice. There was blood on a rag that the boy was holding against Bella's head and I was standing there doing nothing when the nurse pushed an icepack into my hand. I was confused at first but then put it on my eye. I was probably going to have a black eye, great!
Eventually, Bella woke up. The boy was sitting ant the edge of the cot when she woke up and having your crush staring at you after you just embarrassed yourself completely in front of him wasn't doing anything for her consciousness. Bella had to stay at the nurses office for the first hour just in case she didn't pass out again or start to bleed. The boy followed me out of the nurses offices turning around once more with worry in his eyes.
"I hope she feels better, she took quite a fall, and on top of you no less! How's your eye?' He asked. I took the ice pack off of my eye to shake his hand.
"It's better. I'm Alice."
He took my hand. "Edward." He clarified. "What's your friend's name?"
"That's Bella, she falls down a lot so this isn't new to me."
He laughed at that. "I've noticed that about her."
"Well, I have Mr. Dwyre for my first class, how 'bout you?" I asked.
"Dr. Greene."
"Well, I guess I'll see you around."
"Yeah, maybe I'll swing by your room tonight and check on your friend, just to make sure she's O.K.?"
"That would be great! I have to go somewhere tonight, I'm sure she'll be happy to finally meet her hero." I said jokingly. "My room is 405"
"O.K., see you around then." He smiled and then turned the opposite direction to go to his class. Bella made a nice catch… actually Edward caught her, twice, but still.
A/N: I'm sorry about the short chapter again, I'm supposed to be asleep now and my mom's going to catch me… I'll update soon!
