Chapter 10
I awoke to the sound of an alarm clock and was surprised to see that it was already 7:15. School would start in 15 minutes and none of those rotten children were up yet. Groaning I got up and put on some clothes. I brushed through my hair once and then decided that I would have to go and wake up the brats as I had named them. When I glanced into Carlisle's room I was surprised to see that he'd already left without waking his children or telling them goodbye. I decided to begin with Emmett's and Rosalie's room. I banged on their doors shouting as loud as I could. I made my way through the house until I reached the kitchen. I suddenly realised that I would actually have to make breakfast something I hadn't done in seven years.
At that moment Alice came down the stairs hand in hand with Jasper. To my surprise she looked perfect. Not a hair out of place even though I had banged on their door only a minute ago. She was also wearing something that I would never let my children touch.
She smiled at me as I began opening cupboards looking for something for breakfast. "Don't bother," she said, "we don't eat breakfast."
"Breakfast," I lectured her, "is the most important meal of the day." I gave her a stern look. She had to eat breakfast, it was unhealthy not too.
"Not in our household. We usually grab a granola bar on our way to school or something like that," she answered back cheekily.
I was about to reply to that when Isabella and Edward came down the stairs. They were also both perfect and dressed in completely inappropriate designer clothes. I did feel a bit shabby beside the four of them, I hadn't even had time to brush my teeth but I quickly pushed those thoughts away. I was perfect and had a perfect family. I should feel sorry for them and not envy them.
"Where is Carlisle?" I asked to distract myself.
"He left about an hour ago for work," Isabella replied, "he knocked on your door but he had to go when you didn't answer."
I was right that he had left for work but apparently he had said goodbye to his children and had even tried to say goodbye to me. Maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought he was. Nonsense Ellen, I chided myself, he is a horrible father who is never home and probably drinks. Anger flashed over Edward's features but quickly disappeared.
"Then where are Emmett and Rosalie? We have to go; we are going to be late. I knocked on their door they should be here by now." I was stressed. Being late would cast a bad shadow on me and I was the good mother who wasn't supposed to be making any mistakes.
"They probably got held up," Jasper said suppressing laughter. I suddenly felt strangely happy as well.
"I'm going to go and get them; you put on your coats." I stomped up the stairs and banged on their door some more. When no one replied I opened the door and stepped inside.
What I saw inside completely derailed me. Emmett and Rosalie were both topless, entangled in each other. I was completely grossed out.
"Emmett, Rosalie, what in the world are you doing?"
They disentangled themselves and pulled the blanket up. Emmett was grinning widely.
"What does it look like we're doing?"
Eww. Eww. Ewww. This was so wring and messed up.
"Put some clothes on. What you're doing is just wrong. Hurry we're late," I said weakly.
They both laughed.
"Why is it wrong?" Rosalie asked, "We're married. Remember?" She held up her left hand to show me the ring that was on it.
I so couldn't deal with this right now so I just about ran out of the room and to the living room where the other four were laughing at me. I sank into a chair and put my face into my arms. How was I supposed to survive two whole weeks of this?
Only a minute later Emmett and Rosalie walked down the stairs. Emmett had his hand around Rosalie's waist. I refused to look at any of the children and got out of my chair staring at the floor.
"Let's go." All of them laughed at me another thing my children would never dare do.
They led the way to the garage that I hadn't seen before. I was still too shocked from what I'd just witnessed in Emmett's and Rosalie's bedroom to be astonished at the expensive sport cars that were in the garage. Besides nothing about them would surprise me anymore.
"Mrs. Smith you'll be riding with Edward and Bella in Bella's Ferrari today. We arranged swaps so none of us will be deprived of your lovely company and Bella and Edward lost," Jasper said mockingly.
"Jasper Cullen. You will not speak to me in that tone," I replied hotly. I couldn't believe how rude he was being. I was good company. I was loving and caring and in the end they will be eternally grateful for my help.
Sadly Jasper had already gotten into a yellow Porsche that Alice was apparently going to be driving. Emmett and Rosalie were in what looked like a Bugatti Veyron but I was probably mistaken. Edward was impatiently waving for me to get in, Isabella was already in the driver's seat.
"Aren't you going to let me drive?" I was the grown up here after all. They couldn't seriously expect me to sit in the back.
"It's my car so I drive. Now would you please get in? We're losing," Isabella replied.
"Fine."
I didn't bother asking what we were losing at. I was sure that I would probably find out soon. I got in the back of the car feeling absolutely ridiculous. Edward and Isabella were sitting in the front like they were the parents and I was the child.
Isabella revved the engine and drove off so quickly that I slammed back into my seat. An unsettling suspicion was beginning to form in them back of my mind. When they had said that they were losing they couldn't have meant street racing. They were just normal teenagers driving to school. As I was trying to convince myself of this, and purposefully not looking out of the window, I happened to glance at the speedometer. We were going 180 kilometres per hour.
"Slow down," I shrieked. We were going way too fast. They would kill us all. I didn't want to die. Neither of them responded and Isabella just kept on driving. I spent the rest of the ride in absolute terror. I had closed my eyes and began praying when I heard Isabella's voice.
"Mrs. Smiiith we're here." Her voice snapped me out of my terrorized state.
"How dare you. How can you drive so fast? You should be arrested and go t jail. You could have killed us all." I was outraged.
"Mrs. Smith. I'm sorry if Bella's driving frightens you, but she was driving quite slowly for her," Edward replied.
"Slow?" I screeched. Edward rolled his eyes at me. He actually had the audacity to roll his eyes at me. This was only the second day and I already wanted to strangle all of them. Oh well it would be my turn in two weeks. And then I will get my revenge. Oh and make them a perfect family of course. A family with discipline. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I hadn't actually noticed that the Cullens had begun to walk off towards a building clearly marked as the Office. Hurriedly I rushed after them. None talked on the way and we walked into the office.
It was a brightly lit room with a large desk taking up most of the space. A man was sitting in front of the computer and looking through a stack of papers when we came in. He looked up at us.
"Good Morning Mr. Chandler," all the Cullens said in synchronisation. I was surprised at their manners. Maybe they have a multiple personality disorder.
"Ah the Cullens. What a pleasure. What can I do for you today?" He asked with a bright smile. It seemed like he was actually happy to see them. Why would anyone be happy to see them? I was about to make my presence known as he hadn't seen me when Edward began talking like he was the one that was responsible for all of us.
"I believe you have been informed of the fact that we are participating in a program called Wife Swap. It's the reason for all the cameras. Mrs. Smith here who came to our family would like to observe us at school."
"Ah yes I remember now. You have to understand Mrs. Smith finals are coming up very soon so it is very important that the class is not disrupted. I put together a schedule for you that'll put you in all of their classes sometime during the day. We hope that you enjoy your stay at our school."
I said thank you and took the page he handed to me. We all headed out of the door. Alice sighed.
"You have trigonometry with Alice, Bella, Jasper and me first. You may follow us to the class room."
Ah trigonometry. When I was in school I excelled at everything like my children do but I did always like trigonometry. I was also the best in my class at it. This would be interesting.
The others, who had Advance Calculus instead, said goodbye and walked into the other direction. I followed Alice, Jasper, Isabella and Edward into a big classroom with a large window. It was pretty much a standard classroom with a Smart Board at the front of the class. The Cullens all sat in one long row and I decided to sit behind them where I would get a good look at what they were doing.
The other students walked in soon after us. Thanks to their crazy driving we were actually early. All the other students who walked in stared at me and the Cullens. The Cullens show of nonchalance however made me think that they were used to people staring at them. I had to admit that they weren't bad looking and I guess that shallow people would be jealous of their lifestyle. Judging by the envious stares of the other students there were a lot of shallow people in this class.
The teacher walked in. "Good morning class. You probably noticed the cameras and the Mrs. Smith who is sitting behind the Cullens. The Cullen family is participating in the show Wife Swap. Don't worry her presence will not disrupt our studying. You all realize that this is your last Trigonometry class before the finals. I would like you to review your notes and formulas and especially go over the test I gave you back yesterday. If you have any questions come see me at the front."
Immediately the class began taking out notes. Two girls went to the front of the room to ask the teachers some questions. I was not surprised when the Cullens didn't do anything at all and just chatted quietly with each other. I was filled with happiness that they would fail their finals. We would see that their money wouldn't get them anywhere then.
One boy sitting in the row in front of Jasper sighed. "I don't get this." Jasper was about to get up, to help him I guess but I signalled him to stop. He would probably just tell him something that was completely wrong. I myself decided to go help the boy. I explained what he was missing and I probably helped the boy get into a good university. I noticed that no one was currently talking to the teacher so I decided to approach her.
"Umm excuse me; don't you think that the Cullens should actually be doing something?" I asked in a friendly voice.
"You must be Mrs. Smith. I am Ms. Mills. I'm guessing you want the Cullens to review their notes or something like that."
"Yes."
"Well that's just pointless. The Cullens have never gotten a single question wrong on any assignment or answered a question incorrectly. I'm sure that they called teach this class better than me. They will probably get the best grades in the whole school on their finals."
"Oh okay I guess."
I walked back to my desk and sat back down again. I ran through the possibilities in my head and I could really only come up with two. Either the teacher was bribed or the Cullens were really that good. She was probably bribed. It was impossible that they were that good I mean they hadn't even done any homework yesterday.
Just then the teacher began walking around the classroom and looking at the student's notes. She stopped at the boy's desk that I'd been helping. She frowned.
"Tom. This last formula is completely incorrect. Where did you come up with this?"
The boy shot an angry glance my way.
"Mrs. Smith told me that this was correct."
"It is absolutely false. Mrs. Smith would you kindly refrain from interfering with the student's learning opportunities?
I didn't bother answering. Apparently the Cullens hadn't bribed the teacher. She was just so dumb that anybody could've taught this class. The teacher went over the so called correct formula for the rest of class and I watched the Cullens chat with each other completely disrespecting and ignoring the teacher.
When the bell rang I followed the Cullens to the gym. All of them had this subject together. At the beginning of class the coach explained to me that the students would have to sit through a written test as well as go through various fitness tests and performing a skill of their choice. The Cullens of course worked together again and the gymnastics routine they had put together looked mind blowing. The boys and the girls were flying through the air and flipping like it cost them absolutely no effort. Just about the whole class was watching them. And after their routine none of them looked the least bit tired or sweaty. But of course if my children wanted to they could have done the same thing. They were just focusing on becoming important and well educated citizens of the world rather than only focusing on sports.
I had to wait until the Cullens had showered after PE class and then I decided to follow Isabella who seemed the least corrupted by the family lifestyle to the library. Edward of course came with us. Once we arrived in the library Isabella pulled out a fat book in Japanese and began to read intently. She and Edward sat down on one of the small couches in the library and Edward spent the whole time playing with her hair. I bet Isabella was just pretending to be able to read Japanese to annoy me and Edward was just playing at being a devoted husband. They were really beginning to get on my nerves. It took ages until the bell finally rang. Isabella and Edward stood up and look at me.
"Um bye I guess. You have history with Alice and Jasper next that's in room 434 in building four." Isabella and Edward walked off together.
I walked out of the library door glad to be out of there. Sometimes I felt that I was being smothered by the amount of books in those things. I walked down a corridor with lots of flyers and posters on the walls. Apparently graduation was coming up and there were lots of reminders and notices. I walked through a corridor with loads of lockers. Students were surrounding them, getting out there books and staring at me. Their whispers followed me.
"Wow I can't believe that she would wear something like that."
"She is so lucky to be living with the Cullens. I would kill to be her."
"But she's so plain and she doesn't look interesting at all. If I were living with the Cullens they would love me immediately."
"You know what this means? If the Cullens are on Wife Swap we can watch them on TV." This last comment was followed by a squeal from a brunette.
I didn't understand what was wrong with them. Were they so blinded by the prosperity and the looks that they didn't see the spoilt and messed up family I always saw when I looked at them? I walked outside and briefly glanced up at the sky. It was still grey; the sun hadn't shown once since I had gotten here.
I walked into the history class to have a bald man glaring at me. I wasn't even that late. Okay maybe I had gotten a bit lost but whatever. Anyway I walked to the back of the classroom. Everybody was staring and whispering. I sat next to Alice and sat and sat. The class was so boring. The teacher was just firing questions at the students. And of course Alice and Jasper got every question right. Their perfect act was really beginning to get on my nerves.
I again left the class and went to the next one which I shared with Emmett and Rosalie. This class was by far the most awkward. The students were supposed read over old tests or something like that and every time she wasn't watching they would kiss and hold hands. EWW. Why were these teachers so ignorant? Couldn't she pay attention? But I didn't bother go up to him this time because, well, Emmett and Rosalie were probably the best students in this class and blah blah blah.
The rest of the school day was uneventful. I spent the day listening to all the teachers telling me how perfect the Cullens apparently are. If they knew. The ride home was again terrifying but by then I was seriously beyond caring. I just wanted to go lie down and figure out what I would do with this family. I had to go upstairs and lie down. I was seriously getting a headache from the Cullens.
