I Love Boarding School and Bronze-Haired Beauties
"Uh…what?" I asked, looking at him like he was crazy.
"I'm sorry Bella. I know you probably think I'm just trying to get on your nerves or play you or something, but I'm really sorry. After what you said at dinner the other night and after what my family said, I realized that I really am an ass. So, I want to try again. I want to be friends. Well I mean, unless you don't want to be…then we don't have to be. But I would really like for us to…" Edward trailed off looking at me.
What do I say? Do I accept his apology? Or go off on him again? What if he's lying? If he was still an asshole Alice wouldn't have let him sit with us. He looks so cute today…focus Bella. He's a player, or was a player…? Why does he have to be so confusing? He was looking at me expectantly, but the longer I didn't say anything the more the hope in his eyes faded. I guess it couldn't hurt to be friends…
"I don't forgive people that easily. You were a real asshole and I hate players. But if you're completely honest that you've changed…then I guess…we can be friends.." I said unsurely.
The next thing I knew I was being suffocated by him in a huge hug. My face was against his chest and I could feel my cheeks get hot. Hmm, he smells pretty good…
"Thank you Bella! I promise I won't go back to being a player." Edward said ecstatically.
"Um, Edward.." I trailed off, it came out muffled because he was hugging me so tight.
"Oh, sorry!" he said letting me go, his cheeks were a light pink. I'm sure mine were fire truck red. He smiled sheepishly and I returned it. Just then an overly hyper Pixie came running in the door squealing.
"Guys guess what!" Alice said bouncing up and down.
"What Alice?" Edward asked.
"Mom and Dad want us to come home for the weekend! As a Back to School kinda thing!" she said, still bouncing.
Edward laughed, "Alice we do that every year and you still get excited."
"Well excuse me for being happy to go home for a weekend before the school year officially starts," Alice huffed sitting down.
I laughed at both of them before taking another picture. "Let's all take one!" Alice squealed.
Edward scooted closer to me and my heartbeat picked up, I really hope he didn't hear it. Alice was on my other side. I pressed the button and we all smiled. When the picture took we looked at it, it looked really good. I decided to bring my thumb drive tomorrow so I could put it on my laptop. We spent the rest of the period taking pictures. When the bell rang, we got up and I followed Alice to our next class. I was a little disappointed when Edward didn't follow us too, but he gave me a smile and a wave before heading to another class down the hall. Our next class was in the main building, as I walked through the double doors behind Alice, someone purposely stuck their foot out to trip me. I was about to hit concrete, or so I thought, when two large warm arms caught me. The arms picked me up and I looked to see who had tripped me. It was the Blondie that was arguing with Edward earlier and her group, she glared at whoever had caught me and then glared even more at me.
"Lauren, get lost. Edward dumped your ass for a reason," I looked up to see a very tall and tan guy with jet black hair. He looked almost like Emmet size wise, but still like a little kid too. Wait, Lauren and Edward broke up? Score!
I flipped her off and smiled politely. She shrieked before stopping off with her posse. I hate bimbos. I turned to the guy that had caught me. "Thanks…." I said trailing off because I didn't know his name.
"You're welcome, I'm Jacob. One of Edward's friends. Hey Alice," he said nodding to her.
"Hi Jake," Alice said smiling.
"Is she always that bitchy?" I asked.
"No, it's only because Edward dumped her for yo-" Jake didn't finish because Alice kicked him in the shin. "OWWW!" Jake hollered.
"We gotta go, bye Jake see you later!" Alice said grabbing my hand and dragging me down the hallway. She pulled me into a science classroom and led us to two seats in the back. The class was almost full and I recognized one of the students as Bradley, the guy from Pizza Hut. He was talking to some other guys and I assumed they played sports together. The bell rang and the teacher closed the door. She looked like a motherly lady.
"Hey everyone. I'm Mrs. Adams and this is AP Biology. This class is kind of hard, but as long as you take good notes and pay attention, you'll ace it. Well, since it's the first day, I figured we would just watch a movie, but tomorrow we will officially start class." she said before popping the DVD in the projector. It was Finding Nemo, such a cute movie. Alice scooted her desk closer to mine.
"Hey let me see your phone," Alice said.
"It's not with me," I replied. Alice frowned before cheering up again.
"You excited for this weekend?" she asked happily.
"I'll just be here at the dorm, probably do some more settling in and homework." I said.
"No silly, you're going with us," Alice said rolling her eyes.
"Where?" I asked confused.
"To our house, duh." she said like it was obvious.
"I can't do that, I don't know your parents and I doubt they would want me coming to their house uninvited," I said scrunching my nose.
"You are coming to my house and that is final!" Alice said firmly.
"Okay, geez." I said holding my arms up in surrender. Alice smiled and we talked the rest of the period about random stuff. When the bell rang, Alice and I made our way to third period. I could tell I was going to like that class, mostly because of the teacher, Ms. Maxlow was almost like one of us. We were starting off learning about King Arthur. But since today was the first day, all we did was watch a video about him. Yes, we spent an hour and a half watching a video about King Arthur. Of course one of my longest classes would be this one. When the bell rang, I walked out with Alice and to my surprise Edward was standing outside the door. When he saw me, he smiled. I smiled and blushed wondering why he was waiting for me, I mean us.
"Bells, Eddie here is going to walk you to your next class since you have it together," Alice said grinning. "Gotta go bye!" she said before dashing down the hallway. I'm going to kill that Pixie.
"Ready Bella?" Edward asked smiling. I nodded my head and followed him.
"You took Parenting?" I asked giggling.
"Yes because I'm a man!" he said puffing his chest out.
"Yeah, really macho Eddie Boy," I said laughing.
He frowned and I laughed more. Edward rolled his eyes and walked towards the Vocational building again.
"Dang, my classes are everywhere!" I said realizing how crazy-placed my classes were.
"I know, it sucks. All the main classes are in the Main building and the electives are in the Vocational building," Edward informed me. I nodded my head in understanding. We finally reached a classroom that reminded me of a kindergarten room because it was so bright.
"Where do you want to sit?" Edward asked. I scanned the room and saw Rosalie and Emmet in the back of the room. Emmet was saying something stupid because Rose had her hand over her face.
"Can we sit with Rose and Em?" I asked.
"Of course." he said grinning, leading the way. When we walked over Emmet was done with whatever it was he was saying and Rose looked tired, almost as if she had been taking care of a rambunctious 5 year old. Well…
"Eddie!" Emmet boomed. Edward winced at how loud he was and I laughed. "Bellsie Boo!" Emmet yelled.
Of course I was lifted off the ground and swung around like I was a rag doll. I couldn't breathe!
"Emmet she can't breathe!" Edward and Rosalie said together. "Oops," Emmet laughed.
He plopped me down and I staggered a bit as I got my breath back. I almost fell but Edward caught my arm. That reminded me of earlier.
"Thanks, whose Jacob Black?" I asked.
"A mutt…" Rosalie muttered examining her nails.
"No, he's not a mutt. He's a friend of ours from back home. Why?" Edward asked leaning against the wall. Yum…
"Oh because on my way to second period Lauren decided to trip me and make me fall. But Jacob caught me before I could hit the ground. I just thought he was really nice." I said pulling out a seat and sitting down.
Edward's face paled. "Did he say anything to you about me and her breaking up for a certain reason?" he asked worried.
"Well he started to say something about it but Alice kicked him in the shin, then grabbed me, and ran off," I said huffing at the memory. Edward's face looked relieved before it turned angry.
"I'm going to seriously hurt her for tripping you," Edward said.
I rolled my eyes, "Oh let her be childish. I didn't get hurt anyways."
Edward sighed and sat down because the bell rang. The teacher did her introductions; she had a very monotone voice but she seemed like a sweet lady. We had to do some word search papers because she wouldn't let us just sit there and do nothing. It was quite comical actually, I would find a word before Emmet and he'd get angry saying the word search was rigged. After this happened seven times, he gave up and started coloring a coloring sheet. Rose just sighed and continued looking for words while muttering, "I'd be better off dating a ten year old…" the bell rang and everyone stood up. I looked at the clock and realized that class wasn't over yet.
"Since we're in the Vocational building we have first lunch." Edward said reading my confused look.
"Oh," I said smiling, "what about Alice and Jasper?"
"They'll meet us at our table, they are in the Main building but they have French now so they have first lunch as well," Edward explained. I nodded my head and followed him back to the courtyard.
"What do you want for lunch?" he asked.
I scanned the quad before settling on a burger from McDonald's. "I'm craving some Mickey D's." I said grinning.
He laughed and led the way. There was a couple people already in line so we had to wait a minute. When it was almost our turn to order I realized I didn't have my wallet.
"Um Edward, do you think you could spot me some money for lunch? My money's in my locker," I said blushing.
"Sure no problem," he said smiling.
"Can I help you?" the woman behind the register asked.
"I'll have a number six, no pickle, no onion, and a medium drink please," I said.
"And I'll have a Big Mac with a large drink," Edward said.
The cashier gave us our total and Edward handed her the money. We didn't have to wait long for our food.
"I'll pay you back," I said grabbing the bag and following Edward out to where the others were sitting.
"No you won't, I paid because I wanted to," Edward said pulling my chair out.
I blushed and said, "Whatever, you're getting your money."
"Guess you heard that," Jasper said laughing.
"Yeah, yeah," Edward said taking a bite of his burger.
"Okay so," Alice said, "Friday, we are going to leave early to go home. So you need to be packed and ready to go Thursday night. We will stop once on the way and make sure you use the bathroom before we leave," she said pointedly to Emmet who was whistling and looking around.
"Yes ma'am," Rosalie and I said together. We all laughed and talked about how our days have been.
"Edward, have you heard the rumors going around about you and Lauren?" Jasper asked.
Edward sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "No, please tell me."
"Well," Emmet started, "ya'll broke up because you are secretly gay, because you said she needed bigger boobs, and because you and Bella have a secret romance."
When I heard the last one I choked on my drink. Secret romance? Edward patted my back and after a couple minutes I could breathe again.
"I think the people at this school have serious mental problems," Edward said laying his head on the table.
"Awe poor Eddie," Rose said laughing.
Just then the bell rang telling us to head back to class. I threw my trash away and walked with Edward back to our class. We talked about what we were going to do at his house this weekend. I really need to talk to Charlie about it. The rest of my day went by smoothly. Lauren glared at me every time she saw me but I just smiled and kept walking. When the final bell rang, I went to my locker to grab my wristlet and phone. I looked across the hall and saw Alice at her locker.
"Hey Alice," I said closing my locker.
"Yessssss?" she sang.
"Can you get into the guys room?" I asked.
"Yep why?" she asked.
We walked out of the school and towards the boys dorm.
"Because I want to pay Edward back for my lunch. Also, I want to prank Emmet again." I said grinning.
Alice squealed and grabbed my hand pulling me away from the boys dorm and to a small party store.
"Go grab some glitter, pink silly string, and a bag of plastic forks," Alice ordered.
I ran around the store quickly and grabbed what she told me to. She bought the items and we ran to the boys dorm quickly, giggling the whole way.
"The boys have football practice until 6 so we have plenty of time! Plus, they'll be coming to our dorm afterwards so it'll be late before they get back." Alice said bouncing up and down.
"Great!" I said excitedly. We got in the elevator and rode to their floor. Alice then led me to their dorm. She unlocked the door and I stepped in. The dorm was like ours but it was in different colors: dark blue, grey, and red.
"Edward's room is the first door, I'll let you do your thing while I scope Emmet's room for anything we might need," Alice said walking through the middle door.
I walked into Edward's room and looked around. It was just like mine, except it was more boyish. The walls were a light gold and the bed was black along with the other furniture. I looked on his desk for a pen and some paper. When I finally found them, I scrawled a message and got out a ten. The message said:
Dear Edward,
Told you I'd pay you back! Thanks for buying my lunch(:
Bella(:
I smiled and set the note and money on the bed. I then walked out and closed the door behind. Me I headed into Emmet's room and gasped before falling into hysterical laughter. All I could see was Alice's foot and hand sticking out of a pile of clothes about 6 feet high.
"Help!" Alice screamed, it came out very muffled though.
I laughed more and went over to help her. I pulled hard on her foot and she popped out gasping for air.
"He's so dirty!" Alice said shuddering. I laughed even harder, tears falling our of my eyes.
"Okay! Take the forks and spread them EVERYWHERE! I'll spread the glitter. When that's done, we can both silly string it!" Alice said already throwing glitter everywhere.
I grabbed the forks and started putting them everywhere. I even put them in his pillow case. We were done in about 15 minutes, we each then grabbed a can of silly string and started squirting it all over the room. When the cans were empty, we stood back and admired our work. I high-fived Alice and then took pictures to show Rosalie. We left the guys dorm laughing the whole way. We were still laughing when we walked in our dorm. Rose gave us questioning looks so we explained and showed her the pictures. She laughed so hard she fell off her bed. When we all settled down, we migrated to the living room to watch TV and talk about our days. At about 7 we heard a knock on the door, we all busted up laughing again. Alice controlled herself enough before opening the door. When we saw Emmet we started laughing again.
"What did ya'll do?" Jasper asked sitting on the couch.
Hey guys,

Kelsey.
