This one is really stupid. But whatever, cos I think its the longest chapter I've ever written. Maybe.
OH anyways, a lot of people changed my mind about the question I had in the last chapter. I kept thinking Bella was a no-good sex crazed freak.
Ok, I still think she is, but not as much :D
Happy Belated Thanksgiving!
Oh, and sorry to those of you who couldn't review last chapter... I deleted the author's note so I screwed up the chapters.
"Wake up," His sweet voice whispered in my ear.
I searched blindly for my pillow, until I finally came in contact with it. Not caring about anything but sleeping, I took the pillow and threw it forcefully in the direction I heard his voice come from.
He snickered. "You missed me."
"We're staying home today, and you can't change my mind." I was completely drained of any energy. I couldn't move my arms to pull back my covers, let alone open my eyes. I just wanted to sleep.
His cold lips were at my ear in a fraction of a second. "But we have a test today in Biology, my love. You don't want to stay after to take it, do you?"
No, I didn't. It took him one sentence to change my mind. Apparently, I was weaker than I thought.
But as un-attractive as the idea of staying after school sounded, I couldn't find it in my muscles to get up. I needed something shocking, like cold water, or...
I opened one eye. "Slap me."
He gasped, his face turning to a mixture of horror and shock. "Why in the world would I do that?"
"Jeez, Edward. Relax." I laughed at his reaction to my simple request. Mike Newton probably would have done it the moment I asked. That must be why I went for the gentleman. "I need something to wake me up."
"Oh." He smiled for a brief moment before becoming thoughtful.
He leaned in swiftly and kissed me until I was gasping for air.
"There." He winked. "That should do the trick."
By the time I was finished getting ready, Edward was tapping his fingers on the hood of his Volvo in an impatient manner.
"You made me get up, so the least you can do it be patient." I scolded him on my way to the car.
His fingers froze and he smirked. "Yes, well, I kissed you, so the least you can do is be grateful."
"I am. I'm so grateful I think I'll repay you."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss him. Our lips were less than a centimeter apart when he broke my grasp and opened the car door for me.
I could tell he was trying not to laugh at my expression. "You can repay me by getting in the car so we can be on our way. If you kiss me, we'll be here all day."
"You're so mean to me." I whined.
"I'm just here to keep you in line."
I scoffed. He distracted me more than he kept me in line.
"Hey guys!" Angela greeted us in the parking lot.
"Good morning, Angela." Edward greeted her smoothly.
"Did you two study for the test today?"
"No..." I frowned. "I had forgotten about it."
"I never found the time to study, either." Edward didn't seem nervous, though.
Angela looked surprised. "I studied all night. I practically memorized the text book!"
Angela was always a good student, so I suppose that was to be expected. Sometimes I wondered if she really got to do fun things.
"Well, I better get going. See you later." And she left for her locker.
I turned towards Edward and raised my eyebrows. "You didn't study?"
He laughed, seeming to think I was joking. "Please, Bella. I've been through this class plenty of times. I know this all by heart."
As we made our way to class, I analyzed what he had told me. I knew he had taken the class many times, but he had taken many classes many times. Was it really possible for him to remember it all without a single glance at his text book. I knew he took notes, though. But everytime he took notes, he seemed to be writing the words without processing them, seeing as he was gazing at me most of the time. It never really made sense to me, the way his mind worked. I guess that feeling was mutual between us though.
"Alright, clear off your desks." Mr. Banner said as he passed out the tests. "No cheating; keep your eyes on your own papers!"
I immediately answered the questions I knew, fearing that I might forget the answers if I took too long.
Edward was flipping through the pages, answering questions here and there. After 15 minutes, though, he seemed to be staring blankly at quite a few of the questions.
I felt bad, and pushed my paper more towards him to let him see the answers, but he shook his head slightly.
Several minutes after I passed in my test, he began answer questions left and right. I couldn't see all of his answers, but they seemed to be different from mine.
I sighed. He was probably giving the right answers, and I had the wrong.
The next day in Biology, Edward and I sat in our usual seats.
"I have your tests to give back to you. Most of you did a very good job." Mr. Banner complimented us.
Then Mike had to ask. "Did anyone fail, Mr. Banner?"
He didn't answer; he just sighed.
That mean 'yes'.
"Are you nervous?" I whispered to Edward.
He looked at me incredulously then laughed.
"But you seemed like you were having trouble!"
"I was," He whispered back. "But then I got the answers."
I offered a confused look.
He glanced around, then tapped his forehead.
It took me a moment to understand what he meant.
"Edward!" I gasped.
I couldn't believe he had used his power to cheat! It seemed so unlike him. I knew he only did it this once, but there really was no excuse.
Finally Mr. Banner got to our table and handed us our tests.
"Nice job Ms. Swan."
I flipped over the test and saw a 92 circled in red ink at the top of the page.
Although I didn't study, I was usually naturally good at biology... or just a really good guesser.
I leaned in to see what Edward got on his test. He had already flipped it back over, though, so the graded side was face down on the black-topped table.
"What did you get?" I whispered. Mr. Banner never liked it when people shared grades in his class. 'Your grades are between you and me, not you and your friends!' he always said.
Edward turned and glared at me. "I got a 47." He muttered.
I couldn't help myself; I immediately started laughing. It was quite funny, really. He cheated, yet he still failed.
"Well, that oughtta teach you to use your powers for good!"
He just continued to glare at me. I could see the humor deep in his eyes though, because I knew he was never really mad at me. Perhaps he was just mad at the person he cheated off of...
"Why didn't you read someones mind like Angela's? You knew she studied."
He frowned at me as though I was missing something obvious. "Well, first, Angela is a nice girl so I wouldn't have cheated off of her anyways." He began to glower. "And, there was only one person still working on the test when I decided to cheat."
"Who was it?" I chuckled.
Edward turned and stared at the blonde haired boy who was banging his head on the table.
"Mike Newton."
I know its so unlike Edward, but yeah. :D
