Bella POV

Home economics. Finally. One of the subjects that I don't have to study for, but still am a straight A student. And from what I heard, Carlisle is taking this class. So, even if this is one of the days where everything goes wrong, I still have a slight chance of getting an A for my food. O today's list are pancakes, I think. Let's see what we'll do with that.

"Good morning, class. I'm the substitute teacher, as you may have noticed yesterday." He smiled kindly at us and the girls sighed. Poor Carlisle. Everywhere he goes it's the same, nurses or school girls crushing on him. Thank God I'm just an ordinary girl. "So, the list says that you have to make pancakes today. Please, just start, if you need anything, I'm here." Well, let's get started.

Lauren POV

I can't believe it's him again. Well, today he will have no choice but to give me an A for my stuff. But I don't really know how to make pancakes. Still, no problem. I'm sure Swan knows. I will just switch plates when nobody's looking. "Lauren, would you please start working, thank you." "Of course, Mr. Cullen" I smiled sweetly at him. He raised his eyebrow, but turned around and started walking through the classroom. What was that about? First he snaps at me in gym and now he doesn't react positive to my flirting? What the hell?

Carlisle POV

I suspected something was off with Lauren. Her tone was to sweet and her smile to big and innocent. Maybe I should warn Bella. As I approached her, she was already done with the pastry for her pancake. That was fast. "Hey, Bella, I think you should keep an eye on your plate and watch out for yourself." She gave me a puzzled look. "I think something is off with Lauren and she was looking straight in your direction with that evil smile of hers." Bella sighed on this. "Carlisle, this is completely normal. She is just waiting for me to embarrass myself again." I cocked my head. Normal?! I can't believe it. Why didn't anyone tell me this girl was so after Bella? "Mr. Cullen, can I have a band-aid, please?" I sighed. It was just the same in every class.

Lauren POV

Now is my chance. Class is almost over and Swan is already done. All I have to do is going into the separate room where we set our tables and switch mine with hers. Nobody will notice. But as I went into the room, Cullen was standing there. Shoot. Now I will have to go with my grade. But maybe I could get the guy too. I mean, he is even hotter than all of his sons. So, as I walked past him, I batted my eyelashes and smiled sexily. He didn't even notice. What the hell?! Ok, so I would have to use my other plan of action, since we were still alone… I quickly put my plate down, then pretended to put the knife to the site. This would hurt, but it would be definitely worth it. So I cut myself with the knife. "Ouch!" I said out loud, and he turned around. Good. "Everything alright?" He asked in a professional doctor's voice. Man, he was so sexy! "I think my hand grazed the knife, Mr. Cullen" He sighed, but walked over to m and took my injured hand. This was my chance. But just as I was about to stand on my tiptoes, that Swan girl walked in. Oh, this can't be true! "Hey, Swan, watch where you're going. Don't fall on someone's table." I sneered at her. Mr. Cullen glared at me, then said" Lauren, watch your mouth. You are moving on thin ice." He finished wrapping my hand in gauze and turned to leave. Just as he exited the room, I jumped at Bella, covering her mouth so she couldn't scream, and tackled her to the ground. "How does that feel? To be unprotected and vulnerable. Without the precious father of you boyfriend, you can't even defend yourself." I felt tears slide along my palm. Serves you right, Swan. But then, Cullen walked back in and shouted "Lauren, go see the principle this instant!" Crap. I just got my stuff, and as I walked out, spitted on Bella.

Carlisle POV

As I heard Lauren talking in the other room, I was reminded that I left Bella alone with her. Shoot. I quickly walked back over and what I saw was really something I would have never thought possible. She was threatening Bella and keeping her on the ground, muffling her cries. I sent her to the principle right away. Then I told everyone to stay out of the room for a while. No problem, seeing as they were still working. I rushed over to Bella as quickly as possible. And what I saw broke my heart. Bella was almost hyperventilating and deeply in shock. I gathered her into my arms and held her as close as possible, while coaching her to breathe slowly. Much to slow for my liking, she calmed down, but she still clung to me tightly and sobbed a bit. "Shh, I've got you, sweet girl. She is not going to hurt you ever again, I promise."

Bella POV

Finally, I came to my senses again and realized, I was clinging to Carlisle`s shirt like some kind of toddler would to his parents. Embarrassed, I loosened my grip and looked shyly up into his face. "Thank you, Carlisle" I whispered.

Alice POV

As I saw the incident in HE with Bella, I was beyond furious. How could she? "Alice, would yyou please sit down?!" A very angry Esme demanded in English class. Oops. I quickly sat down, while Esme continued to glare at me. "Alice, could you please repeat what I just said?" Oh-oh. I shook my head no. "Alice, you know I already heard of that Biology incident with Jasper? Now you go into trouble twice in one day. Congratulations. You are staring to live up to your brother. We will talk after school. Oh, man. I really should stop this sulking after every vision I get of that stupid Lauren girl and Bella. Carlisle has everything under control…
