I got up early and tugged on jeans, like usual and a black cashmere turtle neck, I grabbed some chap stick, now I was ready for the day! I ran the steps two at a time, tripping only once, then I realized I didn't have a car since it was still at school from yesterdays shopping, I remembered Alice saying Edward would pick me up but I doubted he would be out there, he had probably already forgot.
I went slowly toward the door and put my hand down hesitantly on the doorknob, I closed my eyes and opened them quickly, Edward had magically appeared in the driveway in a shiny new sports car.
Normally I hated surprises but right now I loved them. "You're here," I said, surprise clear in my voice. "Yes," he said, smiling.
"You sound surprised, should I leave?" he said, suddenly serious.
"Oh no, no," I said quickly and angled into the car, strapping on the seatbelt.
He smiled looking amused, "You don't really need that," he told me. "Oh yes I do," I murmured and just as I predicted, he drove fast, extremely fast, I'm pretty sure there were claw marks in my seat by the time we arrived to school.
We parked and Edward leaned forward and whispered, "About that kiss," I felt sad, I knew what was coming, but I was going to beat him to it.
"I know, you want to stay friends and forget about the kiss, I understand, perfectly," "You do?" he asked, he sounded a little hurt.
"Well, yeah, if that's what you want," We were interrupted when Alice poked her head in the window, "Come on, we're gonna be late!"
"Okay, okay," The last I wanted was more attention for being late.
I ran to my class but, I was late anyway. Heads swiveled toward me, "You're late," snapped the teacher, he looked annoyed.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I won't be late again," "Yeah, that's right, you won't," he barked. "You Cullens think your better than the rest of us," "What?" I stood in shock.
"You heard me, you just think you're above it all," I stood uncomfortably and felt the classes eyes on the back of my neck. I turned and saw Lauren, she was smirking.
Suddenly I straighten up; I was not going to be treated like this.
"You know what, you don't have to take it out on me just because your wife left you," The whole class laughed and the teacher's face turned red, he looked embarrassed.
"Principal's office," he growled.
I plucked the slip out of his hand and pranced toward the office feeling much better.
I had never gotten in trouble, before, I was always the good girl, and it felt great to be bad for a change.
I wondered how Katherine would react.
I winced, I didn't want to know.
"Soo, I heard you beat up Mr. Clog," said Alice, she played with her cafeteria food.
"What?" "Yeah, one slug in to nose, heard you went wild," said Emmett, "I'm so proud," He smiled broadly.
Not wanting to be left out Rosalie said, "News travels fast," "And gets exaggerated," I added.
I turned to Edward, he was smiling, but I could tell he had something on his mind.
"So what really happened?" asked Alice, she looked eager, guess she loved gossip when it wasn't about her.
I told her what Mr. Clog had said and she went livid, "He said that?" she seethed, but it wasn't really a question that I was supposed to answer, but I nodded anyway.
"Yeah, so then I told him he didn't have to take it out on me just because his wife left him," She burst out in laughter. A/N: I felt a real urge to put, burst out in song, but you're lucky I spared you.
"How did you know that?" she asked. "It's true?" I gasped.
"Lucky guess," "It kinda just popped out of my mouth, no wonder why he was so mad,"
