A/N: Breaking Dawn came out today! Woo Hoo!
Chapter 11
I walked into English class in total bliss. It was only when Mike pinched my butt when I snapped out of it.
"What's your problem?" I snapped my head back toward him.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He smirked at me and I took a seat as far away from him as possible.
We reviewed the different types of poetry. I liked poetry. It always gave me a good way to vent my feelings, to get lost in thought.
Roses are red,
Violets are Blue,
Edward is sweet,
And so are you.
The bell rang and I met Edward in the hallway. "Hello love." His signature grin appeared on his face.
"Hello." He held out his hand and I happily took it.
"Listen Bella, I forgot I had football practice today, so you don't have a ride home. I'd like you to stay and watch us practice if you'd like." I smiled.
"Sure." I looked away from his entrancing eyes and saw we were standing in front of my Calculus class. He pecked me on the lips and walked backwards toward his class in order to watch me walk into my class.
I sat my books on my desk and fumbled through my papers to find the homework I did in class yesterday. My hand still tingled from Edward's touch. Jeez I sounded like some girl from a corny chick flick.
"Ms. Swan?" I looked up when Mr. White called my name.
"Yes sir?" He smiled.
"May I talk to you in the hall for a few seconds?" I got up and followed him out the door.
Mr. White was very handsome and rather young for a teacher. He had shaggy blonde hair the classic California surfer cut. I have never seen anyone so tan. He had just graduated from college. That would make him… 22 or 23? Sounds about right.
"Is there a problem Mr. White?" He took my hand in his large ones.
"Well I should be asking you that question. You missed half the day yesterday including my class." I looked down. He lifted my chin.
"What happened?" I shrugged.
"Just some teen drama. Sorry sir it won't happen again." His hand caressed my cheek and it was very awkward for me.
"Well if anything else happens just let me know." I nodded and walked back into his class. He stared at me the remainder of the time.
After that the class passed surprisingly quickly for Calculus and the same procedure was repeated after class. Edward would be waiting for me at the door and he would walk me to my next class. The time that passed with him seemed like mere seconds.
"Hello love." Edward appeared behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist whispering sweetly in my ear.
"Hello! How was statistics?" He groaned.
"Utterly repulsive. Calculus?"
"It would have been better with you there!" We started walking toward our history class. I figured it best not to tell him about the whole Mr. White thing.
"Well now we have a class together and then we have lunch." I smiled at the thought.
I sat in the third row second from the back. Edward sat directly behind me. It's hard to concentrate on the Emancipation Proclamation when you have the most beautiful person in the world playing with your hair. Every now and then he would rub my back or blow into my hair. Yet when class finally ended he had all the notes from class written down on his paper. The bell rang and Edward stood beside my desk my books already in his hands.
"What are you doing?" He laughed at my question.
"Silly Bella." His hand caressed my cheek and it felt wonderful unlike earlier with Mr. White. "Well we are going to go by your locker to drop your books off and get your books for the rest of the day. Then we are going to go to my locker to get my books. Then we are going to go to lunch." I laughed at his emphasis.
"Or you could go get your books and I could get my books and we could meet in the lunch room. Besides if we go with your plan by the time we get to lunch it'll be over."
"True true. Well my dear Bella I guess this is where we part." He led me out to the hall and it was not surprisingly already empty.
"Come on Edward, I'll see you in like two seconds." I gave him a quick kiss and he leaned me against the wall deepening it. My arms wrapped around his neck and my fingers were tangled in his hair. His hands slid into the back pockets of my jeans. He reluctantly pulled away.
"Bye." He winked at me and took off down the hallway.
I shook my head to clear my jumbled thoughts and walked down the long corridor full of lockers. I found the one assigned to me and entered in the combination. 20-4-26. Click. The worn lock clicked open and I placed the various books and notebooks in my locker. That's when I noticed the folded piece of computer paper taped on the inside of my locker. I pulled it off careful not to rip it and unfolded the paper. It read:
Bella,
I watch you with wanting eyes. You are beyond perfect. Words cannot express what you mean to me. I dream about you at night and wish I could hold you in my arms.
S.O.S
I pondered the note for a couple of seconds and wondered whom it was from. It couldn't be Edward because I was already his and he did hold me in his arms last night. I shuddered and grabbed my Latin notebook, Biology notebook, and my gym bag. I shut my locker and turned around reading the note. I didn't watch where I was going and I ran right into what felt like a brick wall.
"Ouch!" I looked up to find Edward chuckling.
"You really should watch where you're going Bella. You can't even walk right when you're looking." He paused and saw the letter in my hands. "What's that?"
I handed him the note. "I'm not sure. It was taped inside my locker today."
His eyes scanned the note and he looked back at me. "Who wrote this?"
I laughed at his question. Like I knew. "You tell me and we'll both know."
"You say it was taped inside you locker?" We started walking toward the cafeteria. He had both his and my books in his hands with the note on top. The other arm he had wrapped protectively around my waist.
"Yup. I'm sure it's just someone playing a joke or something." He shrugged not accepting that explanation and we caught the tail end of the line.
I placed a slice of pizza, a banana, and a bottle of water on my plate. Edward got double of everything I had except the water and checked out after me. We had just taken our seat at an empty table when Mr. Moray's (our principal) voice came over the intercom.
"Attention all students. We are pleased to announce that 8 students have been chosen from our school to fly to Florida for a week to be involved in a marine life research study. The students will be accompanied by two teachers which are Mr. White and Mrs. Bottoms." Everyone cheered loudly.
"The following students have been chosen by request by the teachers at this school. They are; Angela Webber, Alice Cullen, Mike Newton, Ben Cheney, Edward Cullen, Tanya Denali, Jacob Black, and Isabella Swan. These students please report to Mr. White's room. Thank you for your attention."
I finished the last bite of my pizza and was surprised that Edward was already finishing up the last of his water.
"Can you believe this Edward? A whole week in Florida! Together!" He squeezed my hand.
"I know. Except that Tanya is going." I groaned.
"Maybe I'll be able to get a room by myself." I whispered Edward looked hopeful.
"Yeah, maybe. Well let's go to Mr. White's room." I stood up and Edward took both of our trays and dumped the trash.
"Ready love?" I stood on my tiptoes and pecked him gently on the lips.
"If I'm going with you then always."
We walked hand in hand into Mr. White's class. The room suddenly turned uncomfortably tense. Tanya glared at me while Alice glared at Tanya. Mr. White looked at me and then at Edward. He saw our hand's connected but didn't say anything.
Mr. White started talking. "Well it's about time you two join us. Does anyone know where Jacob Black is?"
I suddenly remembered Jake was going to the doctor today. "Jake is sick. He had a doctor's appointment today. You could give me his information if you would like." Mr. White gave me a questioning glance. "His dad is my legal guardian, so we live in the same house."
He nodded and handed everyone their packets of information giving me two. "Congratulations. You eight students have been chosen out of the 150 students at Forks High School. We will be staying at the Hilton in Orlando Florida working closely with Marine Fisheries and Seaworld. The girls and guys will have separate suites everyone with their own room." I glanced at Edward and he grinned back at me. Mr. White caught our gesture. "There will be no rooming with the opposite sex what so ever." He glared at Edward. "Your days will involve wake up calls at 6:30. We will then load on the van to be prompt in arrival at 8:00 am. The van leaves at 7:30 so you are expected to have gotten breakfast before then. I advise you bring a box of granola bars."
Mrs. Bottoms cut in. "Like Mr. White said you will arrive at 8:00 am every morning at the marine fisheries labs located two blocks east of Seaworld. You are expected to be on your best behavior though I trust behavior will not be an issue with this group of individuals. Your day will end roughly around 5:00 pm. After you get back to the hotel you have free reign to do what you wish as long as you have a buddy and a cell phone. We will have curfew which means that you must be in your suite at 10:30 every night." She paused and looked up from her paper. "Are there any questions?"
No one spoke up so she proceeded with more information. "We will leave Sunday morning from Port Angeles at 9:00 am sharp."
The bell rang and Mrs. Bottoms yelled over it as we left. "Give the packets to your parents." We left the room.
"What are you thinking?" Edward's whispered in my ear as we headed toward my Latin class.
I turned around and kissed him with fire as I whispered back against his lips. "I think I'm going to Florida."
He laughed. "Is that all?"
A/N: Okay sorry I had planned for this chapter to be a lot longer but I had to stop it early due to Breaking Dawn calling me. "Come read me Kayla. I need to be read!" Of course me being so generous I must fulfill its wishes. I'm only on page 109 and already frustrated. Okay please review… I don't know when I'll update again.
I would like to thank Barns and Noble for their insanely large amount of Breaking Dawn books. They made it possible for me to be staring at it right at this very moment!
