Chapter 8: Misery Business

I woke up this morning to an annoying beeping noise that I was almost completely sure was coming from my stupid alarm clock. I groaned and rolled over on my side to look at what time it was. 6:13 A.M. Monday, March 15, 2008 flashed across the screen in red. I pulled my pillow over my head and was about to fall back to sleep….Until my mother skipped into my room.

"Rise and shine, Bella!" I groaned and pulled the covers up over my head. "Ah, ah, ah, Bella! Time to get ready for school!" Is it just me or is she sounding like she was talking to one of the preschoolers she taught? "Hurry up- your dad's making eggs." I groaned again, but not for the same reason. It was apparent that I did not inherit my cooking skills from my parent that's for sure. I heard my mother skip out of my room and down the stairs. I pulled the covers off of me then got up, heading towards the clothes that I had set out the night before, a long sleeved shirt that read I hate Monday's and a pair of dark was skinny-jeans. I pulled my P.J.'s off and pulled on my clothes. I grabbed my socks and walked downstairs.

My parents were sitting at the table, eating my dad's eggs, my father reading the sports section of the paper, my mother grading test papers, both taking occasional sips of their coffee. "Morning, Bella," they both said without taking their eyes off of what they were doing. I shook my head and poured myself a glass of orange juice and put the eggs in a plastic bag (Emmett likes them….I don't know why but he does….) I sat down and started reading the copy of Wuthering Heights that I had left on the table last night. I was just about to finish chapter 5 when I heard a knock at the door. I stood up to answer it, just noticing that my parents were gone. I hurried to the door to see Edward leaning next to the door, hands in his pockets, grinning at me.

"Hey," I breathed like I had just ran five miles. He smiled his crooked smile at me. He bent down to kiss me but Alice blared the horn. He groaned and shook his head.

"Because I can't greet you in the way I'd like to," he stuck his hand out, his head turned, shooting daggers at Alice who was messing with his stereo. I put my hand into his and shook it.

"Hold on, just let me grab my bag and jacket…" He nodded and stepped in after me. He grabbed my hand and followed me into the kitchen where his eyes landed on my book. He raised his eyebrows.

"Really, Bella, how many times have you read it?" He asked I rolled my eyes.

"How many times have you read it, Edward?" I shot back at him, causing him to grin like a mad man.

"I can't say I've read it but I bet you've read it enough for anyone in Forks." I glared at him.

"You have issues with the classics!" I snapped at him as I picked up my backpack putting the eggs in the small compartment. When I turned to see his face he was fighting a smile. I rolled my eyes. I took a deep breath and went to go get my jacket but he let go of my hand and snagged my waist. I laughed and turned in his arms.

"Now, because my pesky sister is away, I will greet you in the way I would have loved to greet you earlier." Then he pressed his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around him then Alice honked the horn. Edward broke the kiss, groaning. "I can't wait for this month to be over." He said so quietly I thought he was talking to himself. I pulled him along as I walked to get my jacket.

"Edward and Bella sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage then comes the baby in a baby carriage! That's not all that's not all; here comes the baby playing basketball! That's not all, that's not all, here come's the baby drinking alcohol!" Emmett screamed at the top of his lungs. It was no secret that Edward and I are an item at the Cullen household…And they never got tired of teasing us. No, seriously, ever. And when I say ever I mean ever! Even Carlisle and Esme tease us! And their supposed to be the adults!

"MY BABY WILL NOT BE AN ALCHOHOLIC!" I screamed at Emmett who was laughing his tiny little pea sized brain off, and Alice was raising her eyebrows. I blushed and sank down into my seat.

"Have anything to add to that, Edward?" Alice asked, raising her eyebrows even higher, if that's possible.

"Er, um, no. Bella said it all," I sank down lower into my seat. Edward let out a nervous chuckle and stomped on the gas peddle causing Emmett and Alice to slam back into their seats.

"You are paying for my visit to the chiropractor!" Alice screamed, I laughed and Emmett cracked his neck. It was silent for the rest of the ride, which took about five minutes, which I took the time to scroll through Edward's playlist.

"Ohhh! I love this song!" I said as I switched it to I Will Follow You into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie. Emmett rolled his eyes.

"Gah! Rose play's it non-stop in her car, it's driving me insane!" Which prompted me to turn it up to full volume.

"Nice," Edward said grinning as he turned to look at his brother who was in the fetal position, with his hands over his ears (A/n: A look that only Chandler and Emmett could pull off)

"I try," Edward smiled and skidded to a stop, causing Emmett to squish his face into the back of my seat.

"Emmett, please remove your face from the back of my girlfriends seat." I blushed a dark red when he said 'girlfriend'. Alice rolled her eyes.

"Come on, lovebirds, we have school, unfortunately, so come on." I nodded then I remembered the eggs in my backpack.

"Oh, Emmett, before you go, my Dad made eggs…you want 'em?" I asked him. He grinned and stole the bag from my hand. I suppressed a shudder and got out of Edward's toasty Volvo.

"Thanks, Bells," Emmett said as he stuffed his face with my dad's eggs.

"No, no, thank you, Em…" I said shaking my head…his taste buds must not have developed when he was a baby if he liked my dad's eggs….

"Come on, get to class…" The always cross Mr. Varner snapped I rolled my eyes and walked towards English with Alice and Edward.

The day passed relatively slowly, all of my classes, even the ones I had with Edward. I was half asleep when Edward towed me to lunch. I grabbed a can of Mountain Dew and a slice of pizza then I paid for my lunch then, when I got to our table, chugged my Dew.

"My, my, my, Bella, if you keep drinking like that you'll put on quite a lot of weight..." Said, in my opinion, the most annoying voice in the world.

"Screw you, Jessica, or better yet, go and play with Mike, or are you done with him now that you can start going out with him officially?" I snarled Edward and Emmett shared a look and Alice jumped to my rescue.

"Yeah, that probably what she did, Bella," Edward and Emmett really did look worried now.

"What's it to you?" Jessica snarled Alice laughed.

"I don't know, but, Bella, can you wait for our high school reunion? Jessica with ten kids, unmarried, boyfriend-less and living with her parents working at a Circle K, then us with our successful jobs, married happy…" Alice hissed the whole cafeteria was watching and for once I wasn't self conscious. But, even though no one but Jessica, Emmett, Edward, and I heard the comment that was still harsh…

"Who would want to marry you, tramp?" That did it. Alice lunged at Jessica her little fists punching everywhere she could reach. I pulled them apart.

"What the hell was that for?" I yelled at Jessica the whole cafeteria was silent.

"You both are tramps!" She screamed I saw someone get up and head for the door. I had to hold Alice back from killing her, something that I kind of think she deserved.

"BITE ME!" Alice and I screamed at the exact same time. Jessica nodded then sank her teeth into Alice's arm then mine. That did it. Alice and I both started punching, the cafeteria erupted in screams. I saw my right wrist as I pulled it back for a punch and it was bleeding badly. I started to breath through my mouth. Jessica quickly grabbed a fistful of both of our hair. I screamed and punched her, hard, in the arm. She pulled harder at my head and kicked me. I puncher her in the gut. We were pulled to the ground when Jessica fell after I punched her. Then a team of teachers pulled us apart, thrashing and cursing at each other. We were pulled to the principal's office. I turned for a look at Emmett and Edward who were staring at us dumbfounded.

So Alice and I were sitting in the principal's office, getting lectured, a week of detention. Which Alice and I protested. "WHAT!?" Alice screamed when Mr. Greene told us we had detention.

"That's not fair!" I agreed with Alice who was standing up.

"SHE WAS VERBALLY ASSULTING US!" Alice screeched Mr. Greene nodded, uninterested.

"That's not what Ms. Stanley had to say…" Alice let out a strangled unintelligible curse.

"THAT'S NOT FAIR! THAT'S NOT JUSTICE! I DEMAND A RETRIAL!!" She screamed Mr. Greene stood up.

"That is enough! Ms. Stanley will also have detention, if that makes you feel better."

"UNJUSTICE THY NAME IS FORKS HIGH!!" Alice screamed sounding uncannily like Emmett. Mr. Greene stood u, pointing at the phone.

"Call your parents, Ms. Cullen!" He demanded then shot a glare at me. "Ms. Swan can't you control her?" I raised my eyebrows.

"I'm her best friend, not her mother!" I said he rolled his eyes. "You can't make me, either!" I crossed my legs and put my arms behind my head.

"Ms. Swan call your mother after Ms. Cullen!" I nodded and looked intently at the number Alice was punching in. I noticed smiled, she was doing Edward's number.

"Hello? Oh, hi dad." Alice smiled at me. "Oh, yes, please, here he is." She handed Mr. Greene the phone. He talked with Emmett for a while then hung up.

"Ms. Swan, your turn." I took the phone from him and hit Edward's cell number.

"Hello?" Edward's voice hesitantly answered. I smiled.

"Hi, dad," I said I could almost see Edward rolling his eyes.

"Bella, I don't want to get involved if he finds out…." I rolled my eyes.

"Dad I got detention for a week." Edward lost it.

"What? Why? Bella she did most of it, you were using self defense!" Edward snarled.

"Yeah, yeah, hey, do you want to talk to him?" I asked.

"Fine, hold on…"

"Mr. Greene," I whispered, "my dad wants to speak with you." He had a look of pure horror on his face; he apparently didn't want to talk to my "father". He took the phone, talked for a few minutes then hung up.

"Your detention is now one day instead of a week." A very pale Mr. Greene announced. Alice nodded and we made our way out. We high fived each other.

"Hey, Alice, what time is it?" I asked she checked her cell phone.

"Hey, schools almost over, wanna ditch?" She asked I nodded and we went to sit in Edward's car for the remainder of the school day listening to Jack's Mannequin and Fall Out Boy the whole time.
