Cullen Academy

Chapter 11: The World You Love

A.N- I thought you guys would be excited for an Edward POV, but I guess you guys didn't really like it. I didn't get that many reviews last time. But anyways, back to Bella's POV! Since school is starting up again, I doubt I'll be able to update as much as I am now. And I'm not even updating that frequent. I have a mid-term to study for, so I'll try my best. Hope you guys enjoy the chapter.

The sun shining through the hotel windows woke me up. And since we were in another country, it screwed up my sleeping schedule. I think I got a little more than six hours of sleep. Perfect.

I guess I got as much sleep as I wold at home-Maybe an hour or two off. By the sounds of movement in the room I could tell that Alice or Rose were up. The sun probably woke them up too, but knowing them they just generally woke up early. No matter where they were.

"Hmm." Alice's muffled voice came from under a pile of blankets. "I thought you would wake up later than this."

I laughed. "Why, what times is it?" I looked around for a clock, but my position on the floor didn't really help me out.

Rose pushed back her blond hair. When she slept, her hair usually got all messed up because of all the tossing and turning she did throughout the night. It was pretty messed up, but she some how combed through it every day. "Well in our time it would be about ten thirty."

"In other words, an hour earlier than you would wake up on the weekends," Alice finished, grinning at me. Thanks. They are technically right. Out of the three of us, I slept the latest. They're the ones that usually woke me up when we didn't have anything to do.

I laid there, waking up slowly. So far all we had to do today was practice more for this stupid ball, dance, whatever you wanna call it. We had no plans of going out, or shopping. Only dances and drills. Fun.

"So what are we going to do today? Right now all we have planned is to get ready for Friday. No shopping, no going out, not even going out to eat. Am I correct?" Rose asked, stretching to wake herself up some more, and yawned.

Most people say that yawning is contagious, and I agree with them. As soon as Rose was finished with her yawned, I felt the need to yawn too. So then I yawned. And then Alice did. I say that yawning is contagious. "Weird."

"Very," Alice replied. "You're right though, we're not going to do anything. Just practicing and probably finding out anything else as we can. Sounds simple enough?"

I sighed, rubbing my hand through my hair. Ugh, I really needed to brush it. "When is anything in our life simple?"

"True."

There was a knock from the door that connected our room with the guy's. "Why are they bothering us now? We're not doing anything, and we aren't going out to eat for breakfast," Rosalie complained, shoving her head back into her pillow. "Bella, you can get it."

"Alice, don't you want to get it, it could be Jasper." I smirked to her, but she just shook her head in response.

"If it is Jazz, why would I want him to see me like this? Messed up hair, didn't even get out of bed yet...I wouldn't want him to see this side of me, do I?"

Again, one of them knocked on the door. It wasn't that frantic, but they seemed in a hurry. They probably think that we were still asleep. If something was wrong, they would probably get us if we were awake but just go and do it themselves if we were sleeping. "Ugh fine, I'll go and get the door but if they make fun of me, I'm showing them you two."

I got up, stretching some more. We were awake, but I my body apparently didn't register the fact that I was. Pulling the door open, I was faced to face with Edward. Great, this was embarrassing. "Hi." I could feel my face heating up already.

"Look, we don't know if it's true, but Emmett said that someone tried to get into our room last night after we fell asleep. You girls want us to tell you now, or do you want to wait until you get ready?" He looked at me and then peeked in and glanced at Rose and Alice. "I'm guessing you girls just got up?"

He turned to look back at me. "No," I replied, giving him a small smile. "We woke up like twenty minutes ago, we just don't feel like getting ready until we actually needed to do something. So do you mind? Or do you have to tell us now."

"No we can wait. Just open the door when you girls are ready, it'll be unlocked."

"Thanks, bye." I shut the door, groaning. "Aren't you lucky Alice, it wasn't Jasper. Nice. I bet he's making fun of us right now."

Rose just smirked at me and shook her head. "Wow. Did you think it was that embarrassing? You're redder than a pomegranate right now. That's saying something, since I didn't say tomato."

My eyes narrowed at her. "Thanks Rose!" I grabbed the clothes we bought a few days ago out of a bag. "I don't know if you girls heard, but they need to tell us something. So if I were you guys, I'd get ready." A smirk grew on my face. "Cause I'm letting all three of them come in when I'm done. I'm not gonna wait."

My two friends exchanged a glance and got up. "Yeah right, I'm getting the bathroom first," Alice remarked, grabbing her clothes and running to the door.

--

"Okay, so tell us what we need to know," Rose stated, shifting her wait in the chair. Instead of going out to eat like we usually did, we stayed inside. Since we were in the same country as Micheal Simmons, he or his workers could be anywhere. We doubt they would know we were in the rooms though.

They didn't know that we were here since he expected us to be back in America, wondering where he was. But we got the person that was looking after us, so his clues were shot. I think we're pretty good. But from what the guys were saying, who knows if they know we're here.

"I was getting up to go to the bathroom since we still aren't used to the time change. While I was getting out, someone kept scraping the door really lightly. I think I heard them do it to yours too, but I'm not to sure," Emmett explained.

"It sounded like they were trying to get in, but who knows." He shrugged, looking at us. "But I think this person relates too much to our situation for it to be just a coincidence. It's something more. And I really don't want you girls to be alone if someone gets in."

Jasper and Edward nodded in agreement. Okay, I know their concerned about our safety and all, but what are they going to do about this person? We don't even know if they were actually trying to break in.

I could here Rose snort and Alice laughed. "Not to be rude, or anything, but we can handle ourselves," Alice defended, a smile growing on her face. "But I get what you boys are saying at. Most guys are very protective. So that's cool. But what do you want us to do, or take precautions on?"

Emmett laughed, but I could tell that it didn't reach his eyes too much. "We know you girls could handle yourselves. If you were sent on this trip with us, it's obvious that you are hard headed and confident. And that is good. We don't mean to bring you down, but we're just worrying about you three."

His statement brought a smile to my face. No one outside my family or Alice and Rose cared that much about me. Actually, no group of guys cared that much about the three of us that much. That was really sweet for him to say. I think it was okay to call the six of us friends, I'm pretty sure we're on that level. "Awe, that's so sweet Emmett. I'm not gonna lie, but I haven't heard anyone worry about us so much," I replied, making him smile.

"Yeah Emmett," Rosalie added, matching a smile of my own. I knew all of us felt that way. Not many things actually touched our hearts because of the situation we were in, but some things broke down that wall. "Thank you. We'll be really careful, and tell you guys anything that happens."

"Thanks too," Alice added. "But what can we do to take those extra precautions? Lock the doors and blah. We don't have any technology with us. It's not we can just pull out some fingerprint detector and match it up with the ones that show up tomorrow-If there even ones on the door tomorrow."

Jasper thought for a moment. "You know Alice, you're right. Maybe we should switch spots tonight. You girls sleep in our room, and we'll sleep in your room. If they tried our door to get in, they'll probably try to get in your door tonight. We don't know, but it could work."

Switching rooms would be a good idea. But what happens if that person tried to get into our room last night too? They might have. And then we'd have to bring everything in here for the night and just switch. This was getting confusing.

The weirdest part to me was that I wasn't worrying about this. It didn't freak me out, or make me nervous or insecure. The ball this week made me nervous than this. Sure, someone was trying to break in and get us. But that was only one person. When we go to this party this week, we will be surrounded by who knows how many of our enemies.

"We could do that," I replied. "I'm up for anything."

"Same here."

"Me too."

The three of us exchanged a glance and looked at the guys. They just looked back at us. "So you guys don't mind? It's cool with us, if it's cool with you."

"Yeah," Edward replied, clapping his hands. "We're cool with it."

--

With everything somewhat switched, and the doors that connected the rooms together opened, I was finally able to settle on the bed I was sleeping on. Rose called Emmett's while Alice called Jasper's, so that left me with Edward's. Of course my friend's would do that to me and make their pick.

"Okay, I don't know about you two, but it smells really nice in here," Rosalie stated, walking into the room I was in. She plopped herself next to me on the bed while Alice followed her in. "Well, it smells really good in the room anyways."

I couldn't disagree with you. The whole hotel room smelled like those three, except Edward's bed obviously smelled like Edward. And he smelled really good. Some mix between sun, honey or lilac. But it was better than that. It was intoxicating. "Yeah, I know," I agreed, nodding my head.

Alice glanced at us and then nodded her head towards the door. Oh right. The guys had insisted that we keep the door that intertwined the rooms, open. So they could hear every word we said. So Alice went towards the door of Edward's room and shut it, giving us a little more privacy. "Uh huh, it smells so good," Alice finally added.

"I wonder what rooms they each took," I commented, looking towards the door. We knew what rooms we wanted, but did they? Or would they all just sleep on the couch? "They could have taken one of our rooms, or they all could just sleep on the couch."

"They better not sleep on the couch," Alice remarked, her eyes widening. "They insisted we switch spots, so I insist on them not sleeping on the couch. They better get a good night's sleep."

"And I hope so." Rose smiled. "But I can't believe they let us switch spots with them. This is weird. Like, I'm not uncomfortable here or anything. It just feels...okay. Does that make sense at all, or am I crazy? I know it's all about this person trying to get into our rooms, but I hope it isn't true."

Rose was right. We all thought that switching rooms might feel awkward, or make us uncomfortable. But after getting settle and being in here for a little bit, it wasn't at all. It was the exact opposite. It felt fine, and comfortable. Like staying in here was where we had been staying the whole time.

"No Rose, you're right. It feels like all six of us shared the room, not only them."

"I know."

Hit or Miss?
