Alice POV
Spanish. First period. With Esme, who seemed to have calmed down, thank God. I can't stand seeing her in such distress. But, maybe that made her rethink her decision with this vocal vocabulary test…
Esme POV
Luckily, this Spanish class was nothing like my English class yesterday. They notice my authority and don't question it. I will have to make sure they don't think they can do what they want after hearing from this horrid English lesson. The vocabulary test will help for sure.
Bella POV
Don't get nervous, it's just a vocabulary test, you can do this. I chanted to myself over and over again. I couldn't believe that someone would question Esme's authority. It seems so wrong.
When Alice and me arrived at the classroom, Esme was already there. Oh-oh. Quick time check, are we too late, please don't let us be late! Luckily, we were five minutes early. Maybe I won't be her first target then…
Esme POV
Why does Bella look so nervous? There is nothing to worry about. I'm sure she learned all of the stuff. I will have to reassure her she can do this. Maybe she is nervous because she could be picked anytime. Alice, no doubt, already told her about my version of a vocabulary test. Then I will help her calm her nerves by picking her up first. Before her heartbeat get any faster. I'm sure this could be dangerous.
Bella POV
"Hola, class. Let's start with the small test. You don't have to get a pen or anything, I will just ask you." My heart started to pound even more. She was really doing this! Oh. My. God. "Bella, why don't you start?" NOOOOO. Why me, why always me?! I managed a quick "Yeah, why not" and a small smile in Esme's direction. She kindly smiled back. "Alright, can you tell me the Spanish word for horse?" "Caballo" I immediately resonded. "Nice, Bella. What about the phrase: Would you like to go out?" "Vas a salir conmigo." "Very good. Now, one last phrase: You are one of the greatest persons I ever met" I had to blink. Did she really mean that. She smiled at me. But, after a second, she started to frown. Oh, no. What was that again? Oh, yes, it was "Usted es uno de los mas grandes personas que he conocido" "Bella, that was very good. I will note down an A for you" Wow, that was it? Easy. Well, at least for me. Let's see how the rest will cope with this.
Esme POV
I really meant it. Bella is one of the greatest persons I ever had the privilege to meet. Now, let's see. Who will be next. Maybe Mike. He always tries to ruin Bella and Edward's relationship. Just like Lauren, but in a more civilized manner. But still. How can anybody not notice that they are meant to be? "Mike, you are next. What does relationship mean in Spanish?" His eyes widened, his face went red. What. Did he know or not? I waited several moments, but never got an answer. "Alright, what about ruin?" He didn't know. I could see it in his face. I sighed. "Okay, Mike. You have one last chance to not get an F for this. Please translate the phrase: You should see that nothing can get in between them." Nothing. Just like I thought. "Mike, I hope you understand that I have to give you that F." He numbly nodded his head and stared at his table. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Bella smiling and Alice stifling a giggle. But I let them be. Mike deserved it. And I swear, if I ever catch him trying to ask Bella out again or anything else that has to do with building up a relationship, he will have to answer me in my office! Nobody tries to hurt my children and get away with it. And trying to make them beak up with each other definitely counts for that category!
