CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The house was now in chaos, breakfast sandwiches being made, the boys getting dressed as I tried to dress myself while cooking. I was already wearing a dark washed denim skinny jeans and a white tank top, trying to finish up the sandwiches to take into the truck.

"Come on losers, hurry it up! We got exactly five minutes to leave the house if we want to be there on time" I yelled in my loudest voice I could. Luckily I had laid out napkins on the table so putting the egg & ham breakfast sandwich onto it was no problem. I quickly wrapped them up and ran to my room to get a sweater. I didn't even look as I pulled my hand into my wardrobe and pulled out a beautiful aquamarine blue sweater. I grabbed my books, the sandwiches and my sweater and ran for the door. I knew they'd be waiting on me. The hummer was already started as I jumped it. Everyone was there looking like we've been running away from the scene of a crime. Chase pulled out so quickly, I was slammed into the backrest.

"Chase! Can't you drive any better?" I groaned as I rubbed my back with one hand and trying to hand them all their breakfast.

"Sorry hon, I'll try to be more careful." He said sweetly, taking the sandwich from me.

In a short space of time, we had already devoured the sandwiches and was pulling into the school's car park. I looked down at my watch. Yes! Made it in record time with less than ten minutes to spare, I said to myself, imagining myself doing my happy dance. I slipped my arms into my sweater as I jumped out of the truck, pulling my books down with me. We were all walking to the entrance when I saw Alice running towards me.

"Andy!" she yelled as she jumped on me. I quickly dropped my books and placed my hands on her hips to keep her from falling, though I know she wouldn't, being a coordinated vampire and all.

"Good morning to you too, Alice. So what did I do to deserve this wonderful display of affection from my favourite vampire?" I said softly as I noticed some students looking at us strangely. She gave me a quick kiss on my forehead and jumped down. I looked at the boys faces and they seemed shocked and excited at the same time.

"You know, you could have stayed like that all day. I don't mind that image." Tyler joked as he lazily placed his forearm on Caleb's shoulder and looking at Alice and me. Alice stared at him for some time, all serious and then turned to me. "Remind me not to kill him." She said sternly.

"Go ahead. It's not like he'd be missed." I grinned. Her face broke out in that permanent smile that was always plastered on. I looked over at Tyler whose jaw was probably touching the floor right now. I laughed so hard I felt tears run out of my eyes when he finally caught on that I was joking.

"Anyway, back to us. You, Bella, Rose and I are going shopping today!" she squealed.

"Hold a minute pixie! Who told you I was going shopping with you?" I said trying to sound a bit angry. I wasn't at all. Even though I wasn't a big fan on shopping, I found out that I secretly did enjoy it. Alice looked up at me, her eyes all forlorn. She looked like Puss in Shrek when he was being all cute. I couldn't do that to Alice. She was the sweetest person I have ever met. She reminded me of Kelly, hyper and always ready to shop and I missed her a lot.

I sighed loudly. "I'm only doing this for you. Just don't use that face on me again." She squealed loudly and hugged me tightly. She was strong for a vampire but I was thankful I wasn't a human when she was hugging me.

"Thank you! Oh, and the boys will be taking your boys to our house for a meeting with Carlisle Do you think they'd mind?" she asked as if they weren't around when they were standing behind me.

"Guys? Do you mind?" I turned around to ask. I looked at their faces, all serious. Pouge was actually the first one to smile then Caleb.

"Sure babe, anything for you." Pouge replied as he kissed the top of my head. I quickly looked over to Caleb as I saw his jaw clench in anger. I grabbed his hand and held it tightly. His eyes were now fixed onto mine as his full, kissable, juicy lips broke into a smile.

"Great. Come over to our table at lunch and we'll discuss arrangements!" Alice said happily as she gave me a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek before running off. I suggested that we all head to class before we get detention if we're caught. Everyone started to walk their directions before I realized that I was still holding on to Caleb's hand. I pulled him close to me and place a soft kiss on his lips.

"Have a great day at school. See you lunch time." I said seductively. He moved his head forward, pressing his lips against mine in an infectious, passionate and lust filled kiss.

"Now it'll be a great day." He grinned in that sexy smile of his. My body was already on fire. If I stayed with him any longer, a lot more than kissing would have happened. I just smiled dumbly as he walked off, my eyes glued to him till I couldn't see him. I snapped myself back to reality and ran straight towards my classroom. I had English with Mr. Dewey. He was a balding old man with that always wore argyle. He seemed like a real life version of Bert from Sesame Street, well, except for the glasses.

"Glad you could grace us with your presence Ms. Donovan." He said as I ran into the room with my head down and just looking for an empty seat. I found what I was looking for and slid on the chair as I slammed my books on the table. I felt myself falling against someone but not falling onto their lap. I steadied myself quickly, grabbed my book, opened it out and laid it on the table as I slammed my head against the table. I suddenly heard musical laughter coming from the person next to me. I slowly turned my head and stared in disbelief. It was Edward Cullen sitting next to me!

"What are you laughing at Cullen?" I said harshly.

He stopped laughing as he turned it now into a smug smile on his face. "Nothing Donovan, you were just reminding me of someone, just maybe a bit more coordinated." He was such a smug bastard. "What's the matter? Didn't sleep well last night?" he joked.

"You would know, right?" I shot back at him, raising my eyebrow. His mouth broke into a full smile, making his now darkening topaz eyes come to life. You couldn't help not being angry at such a breath taking beauty this man was. My face automatically broke into a smile as I looked at him.

"So, I heard you have plans with my sisters for later?" he asked.

"That would be right."

He leaned back in his chair as he folded his arms in front of his muscular chest. He looked at me, that crooked half smile on his face.

"Don't say I didn't warn you. Alice is quite… interesting when she's shopping. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. You're going to have a very long day." He said calmly with a grin on his face. I buried my face in my hands and shook my head. I turned to him suddenly, my hand gripping his chiseled forearms.

"Is there any way possible to get out of this?" I pleaded. His laugh was soft and beautiful to my ear. He leaned forward slowly, my face mere inches away from his.

"Nope. Once you agree to go shopping with Alice, there's no way to get out of it, unless you're dead," he grinned.

I suddenly noticed how close we were, his nose barely touching my nose, his eyes piercing mine. I would have died. I suddenly pulled my hand away from his too quickly and started to fall to the floor. I held on to the table and shut my eyes. I felt a cold vice grip my waist and placed me back on my chair. When I opened my eyes, I saw Edward's arm around me. I felt myself blush as I let out a small thank you. I heard the distant voice clearing his throat.

"Ms. Donovan, glad to see you're safe but you should be paying attention instead of playing," Mr. Dewey said sternly. "I expect to see you for summer school then?" he asked.

I shook my head and stared at the table. Mr. Dewey's back was now turned as he began writing notes on the board. I felt his hand still snaked around my waist. I looked up at him and he was stifling a laugh. I had no choice. You just can't be mad at him. I grinned at him as he slowly glided his hand to the small of my back, leaving it there for the entire class. I had no objections but I definitely wasn't listening to the lesson at hand. The feel of Edward Cullen so close to me was driving me insane. I wasn't sure what exactly was drawing me in to him. I felt like a moth to a flame. It was something indescribable but it sure was strong.
