Chapter 7

We quickly pulled apart and Edward moved to stand in front of me, staring Mr. Volturi down. I ran a hand through my hair to straighten it out since it had become messy and tousled.

I felt the blood rushing to my face as I thought about just how my hair had gotten to its current disheveled state.

"Both of you, come with me." He turned around and started walking towards the exit. I was surprised he didn't yell and publicly chastise us for our inappropriate behavior.

We followed behind him all the way to his room. I could see the bystanders laughing at my expense and I felt my cheeks blush an even deeper shade of red as my mortification increased.

I looked up at Edward with wide eyes. What if Mr. Volturi gave us detention? Sure, it wasn't anything new for Edward, but I had never gotten detention in my life (except for that one time in sixth grade, but in my defense, that girl totally deserved to be punched).

When we reached his classroom, he opened the door for us and gestured for us to sit in the front two desks.

He got behind his desk and leaned forward, folding his hands.

"When I told you to work on your chemistry, this wasn't what I had in mind."

I felt my cheeks flush. Again.

"No one reads history books anyway I don't see the problem," Edward shrugged.

I slapped his arm. "Shut up!" I hissed.

"I would listen to your, uh, friend, Mr. Cullen. As I'm sure you're aware, this school has a very strict no PDA policy."

I bowed my head, waiting to hear my punishment.

"So I better not see that again." My head snapped up, and I looked at him in surprise. That was it?

He looked at both of us pointedly.

When neither of us said anything, he waved his hand as if he was trying to shoo us away.

"Okay, both of you, go."

I didn't have to be told twice. I hightailed out of there, Edward following behind me at a much more leisurely pace.

"Stop freaking out, we didn't even get in trouble," Edward said.

I turned to him.

"How can you be so calm about this? We could have seriously gotten into trouble and it's all your fault!" I hissed.

"All my fault? Seriously, Princess? If I remember correctly, and I do, I believe there were two of us participating in our little library rendezvous."

I flushed as I remembered.

"Well you better cherish that memory because that is never happening again." I crossed my arms over my chest.

When his eyes immediately became glued there, I looked down and immediately dropped my arms and glared at him.

"Whatever you say," he smirked and headed in the opposite direction.

"I heard Edward was caught making out with some girl in the library. Will he ever learn?" Alice said, taking a bite from her sandwich.

I started choking on the gourmet (note the sarcasm) Lunchables pizza in my mouth and immediately gulped down some coke, attempting to breathe, but epically failing.

"Oh em gee, are you okay?" She handed me a napkin.

"Yeah…" *cough cough* "fine." I managed to choke out in between coughs, drinking some more coke.

"Well, Edward is always going to be Edward, I suppose," she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, I guess." I shifted my gaze downwards and I searched my mind for a different subject to distract her with so she wouldn't notice my guilty expression.

"Did you hear what Tanya Denali was doing all summer?" It was the first thing that came to mind.

"You mean, who she was doing?" She immediately dove into her opinion of the matter and I tried to pay attention, I did, but I kept getting distracted by a pair of green eyes staring at me from across the cafeteria. When he noticed me looking back, he did the most infuriating and cliche thing ever.

He winked.
