Sorry for not updating sooner. I'm in summer school and it's just been really busy for me. But here's another chapter!

The next day.

This day was even more annoying than the last.

"Bella!" Carly called from down the school hall. She seemed as bubbly and happy as ever, as opposed to myself. You know what I'm like.

"Hey there. What's new with you?" I asked her, trying not to grab her throat and strangle her.

"How was the wedding?"

"Wedding? Oh yeah, that one…" I continued with a small grin on my face, "It was fine."

"How's Jake?" Carly bubbled.

"He's fine," I lied.

"What's he up to?" She romantically smirked and smiled.

Truth is, he was off with the werewolf pack doing business with the vampires. I had to make up an excuse for Carly to leave me alone, "He's... on vacation." I smacked my head on the inside. Really Bella, that's the best you could do?!

"Oh! Where?"

"Hawaii," I paused and thought about what to say, "He wanted some time away from the school so he and his dad packed up their van and went on their way. Jake may not be back for quite a while…"

"Do you have his number?"

"What?" I knew what she was asking. I just wanted to ignore the situation.

Ring, ring, ring. My god. That school bell is once again my savior. Finally taking a breath, I fixed the bag on my shoulder and stared at Carly.

"Maybe you should get to class, Carly."

"I'll see you later. And too bad you couldn't be on the show the other night. That one episode got almost a million views!"

"Good for you," I told her from the other side of the hallway.

"I'll see you later! We should get together and prank call Jake! Wonder what he'll react like. Ha ha!"

"Ha ha indeed," I sarcastically whispered to myself as I entered class.

The one person who I thought would get out of my mind was sitting in the seat right next to mine.

I silently take my seat and try to take my attention off my glaringly handsome boyfriend in the next desk over. Suppose looking at the board and actually listening to my science teacher's lecture may help in the future. Next time.

This time, however, all I was focused on was Edward. I knew he would bother me about Carly.

A whisper came from the other side of my seat. "Bella."

Dang it.

"Bella," he repeated, "Why are you ignoring me? You know you're the only mind I can't read."

"I'm trying to learn. Come on," I angrily whispered back.

He rolled his eyes, "I know from fact that you never listen to lectures in here. You can be easily read from other perspectives."

I gave up. "Okay. What do you want?"

"Carly Shay the newcomer likes Jacob Black the werewolf. You like me. You should not be so worried about her and Jacob."

"Well, he's my best guy friend. I could never lose him to such a…"

"Girl?"

"Yes. That's the word. Speaking of Jake where exactly is he?"

"He's in Italy. With the Volturi."

I stared at him in an awkward way, "Why is he with the Volturi?"

"I've already told you about this. The werewolves and the vampires are making a temporary peace treaty. Jacob and Emmett are leading them. Esme and Carlisle are still in Forks."

"Oh."

Another voice came into my mind, "Ms. Swann, do you have the answer to number 6?"

"Huh?" I glanced up to see the glasses of my boring science teacher pointing to a question on the chalkboard with his stick, "I guess. Is it carbon monoxide?"

"No. It is not. Good guess though. Now who else…" My train of thought slowed down once he picked another student in the class to answer the question.

"Maybe we ditch the rest of school after lunch and see what's up with Carly," I continued my whispering conversation with Edward.

"Alright. Whatever suits your needs."

I leaned back in my plastic chair for a seat and tried to make myself comfortable. In order to 'spy' on Carly I would need to have all the energy that I could possible obtain.
