Okey-dokie, I have lots of lovely updates for ya! One: the SAFD officials have ruled that the fire in the Main Build was accidental! We are receiving lots of donations (a few of them for example were from San Antonio Express-News, San Antonio Spurs, Best Buy, McDonalds and FritoLay (for food!!), Red Cross and many, many more!) Two! I updated my blog late Thursday after I checked my email—which I'm slowly responding to reviews!—and I think you will want to read it. Why? Well…let's just say the blog is about a SPECIAL email that I had receive from a very SPECIAL lady who—oh I don't know!—you will see her lovely face on the big screen in December –wink, wink– lol And three…-sniffles- INTERNET (and phones) are STILL not up in the dorms so I'm using the temporary internet which is making my review reply even slower because of the time limit…

ANYWAYS, someone asked in a review how Edward was going to go to Forks High School without registering…He isn't actually going to enroll into Forks High School. Schools do alone guests—after they have been assigned a visitor pass that is only issued with proper ID like a driver's license or a State ID (which is what I have since I don't drive yet…yes I'm almost 19 and can't drive for personal reasons). And here is Edward's day at Forks High School…ENJOY!!

Chapter Twenty-One

Edward (temporarily) at Forks High School

Bella's POV

I was starting to wonder if bring Edward to school the next day was a smart idea or not. Why? Because of the swarm of students wanted to know who he was, what he was doing here, and if he was single (that last question was from girls clearly). I was about to pull my hair out after one class period.

Edward was very polite to the teachers and the teachers liked him. Even my math teacher totally forgot that Edward wasn't a student at Forks High School, and Edward answered the question…correctly! I felt my jaw drop when my teacher actually smiled!

Edward just seemed to fit into the school. We were on our way to lunch when I asked Edward thought of the school.

"I like it here," Edward said, smiling at me.

A few girls stopped and actually seemed dazzled at Edward smile. I bit back the urge to wrap my arm around Edward, claiming him as mine…which actually was less…eloquent than yanking Edward's face down towards me to claim his lips. But either way, the female population would not like me.

"Yeah, you seemed to fit in rather nicely," I stated.

Edward smiled again and wrapped his arm around me. I went scarlet at the sight a few students stopping to stare with little jealous green monsters on their shoulders.

"Aw!" Alice said, stopped just outside the cafeteria as we approached it. She fanned her eyes like she was about cry. "You guys look…so cute!"

"Alice," I hissed, trying to shrug Edward's arm off my shoulders which only tightened around me.

"Come on you, guys," Alice said, smiling.

I was torn between seething at Alice and blushing as Edward's thumb actually managed –somehow I might add—to brush gently along my neck and along my shoulder.

Edward bought his and my lunch from the line and carried the tray to our normal little table.

"Where's Emmett?" Edward asked as we sat down.

"Emmett brings a lunch," Alice stated. "And he normally has to…fight with his locker to get it."

"Huh?" Edward went, getting this cute little puzzled look on his face that I just wanted to go "aw!"

Alice snickered as I told the story of how Emmett's locker somehow, everyday manages to get caught on Emmett's lunch bag and it takes Emmett a good five to eleven minutes to get his lunch out without hurting the locker.

Edward laughed just as Emmett came jogging through the cafeteria, his lunch bag in hand.

"Sorry guys I had to—"

"—Wrestle with your locker," Edward, Alice, and I said together. "We know."

Emmett blinked at us before glaring at Alice and me. "You told him the story didn't you?"

Alice and I burst out laughing while Emmett went red and plopped down besides Alice. Edward smiled. "Its okay, Emmett, I totally understand. When I was eight, my lunch box got stuck in my locker because I put it in wrong. I ended up crying on the floor because the locker was "being mean" to me." (AN: Edward's story… –blush– it's a true story that happened to me –blush– It was this HUGE red lunch kit that I had all the way through middle school and as well known to be carrying around.)

"AW!" Alice went while I smiled.

"Whew, at least I know it hasn't just happened to me," Emmett said, whipping his forehead as though he was sweaty and trying to clear it up.

Edward smiled and knocked the fist that Emmett brought up.

"Men," Alice muttered.

"Anyways," Emmett said, "how do you like Forks High School so far?"

"It's…different than HSMP, that's for sure," Edward said, taking a bite of his pizza.

"Shake please," Alice said, handing over her ranch covered salad to Emmett, who violently shook the container.

Edward flinched at the sight of the salad and muttered "gross" under his breath. I bit back a smile but a snort did come out which caused Alice to glare at me.

"Hey guys," Angela said, sitting down besides Alice, putting her tray onto the table.

"That's our friend Angela," I stated when Edward looked at Angela.

"Hi," Angela said, waving shyly.

"Angela that's Bella's boyfriend Edward," Alice stated.

Bad time to say that Alice! I went to take a drink of my water when Alice said it and managed to spray Emmett with my drink before coughing at what I had choked on. Emmett managed not to get spray (and his lunch remained dry which he was thankful for) and Edward started to pound on my back, his cheeks kind of pink with blush.

"Oh, really?" Angela asked, looking at me. "I didn't know you were dating."

"I'm not," I managed to get out…somehow.

"Well not yet anyways," Alice stated. "But they will be." She smiled.

"Well there goes half the student body lusting after him," Angela said, chuckling.

Great, just great, I thought. And you know she was died right when the girls in Biology class after lunch came up to my table to flirt with him. Edward was polite, not really flirting back. But what really reassured me was that Edward placed his hand on my knee under the table and keep squeezing it when a girl flirted which was pretty much every five seconds. I was pretty sure that my knee would never be the same because of the squeezing but also because it was Edward who was squeezing it.

Finally when Mr. Banner arrived, the girls scattered back to their assigned seats.

"Ms. Swan, I don't recall you having a partner," Mr. Banner muttered as he took off his parka.

"I don't," I stated. "I have a guest today."

"Hmm," was all he said and walked towards my desk. "Name please."

"Edward Masen," Edward said, standing up.

"School?"

"High School of Medical Professions at North Side High School…sir," Edward stated.

Mr. Banner raised an eyebrow. "AP biology?"

"With Dr. Valentino," Edward said, nodding.

"Hmm, well then… Ms. Swan, you actually have a partner that will actually work along side you…not copy you," Mr. Banner said before walked back towards the front.

I let out a sigh of relief as Edward sat back down.

"I like him," Edward whispered towards me as Mr. Banner started taking roll.

"Hmm, yeah, I respect him," I whispered back and answered Mr. Banner when he called my name with a "Present."

Edward was actually a rather good partner in the lab that we were doing that day. And Mr. Banner, who normally calls on me to answer the questions that the other students didn't know or didn't want to answer, actually called on Edward majority of the time. I had a funny feeling that he was testing Edward to see exactly what he knew. And Edward answered all the questions correctly that he impressed Mr. Banner and the rest of the students (including myself even though I knew the answers).

I was in the girls' locker room changing into my clothes for gym, Edward actually already waiting in the gym since he didn't need to dress out so no need to be in the guys' locker room, when all the girls in the room stormed around outside my bathroom stall where I was changing, demanding me to tell them who Edward was.

I finally got fend up saying that he was just a guy, which was an answer that they didn't like, that I stated that he was my boyfriend. The entire bathroom went silent and I knew two things: one, they were still standing there because I could still see their feet and two…I was in BIG trouble when I got into the gym.

Edward meant me at the door as we entered the gym.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked me.

"Huh?" I said, turning around.

"Oh, just…I don't know," he finished lamely.

I smiled as best as I could…which I think we knew was pretty forced, and said, "Seriously Edward, nothing is wrong."

Well I don't think he quiet believed me but he let it go. And I wish he hadn't. We were playing tennis today. My partner was someone that I didn't quite know…and a girl. The other team was also made of girls. Uh-oh this shouldn't be good.

Good? It was down right ugly. Every ball was aimed towards me. So not only did I hurt myself but the other girls hurt me. My partner…actually hit the ball in the back of my head and pretended that it was an accident. Accident my foot, I thought as I limped over to the bleachers where Edward sat, which by the way my ankle was seriously throbbing now because I technically wasn't allowed to do major activity on it which my gym coach didn't care about.

"Are you still going to stick to that "nothing is wrong" comment or are you going to tell me what's going on?" Edward asked me as soon as I sat gently down.

I moaned and rested my sweaty head against him, which he didn't seem to mind stinky me leaning against him. I whispered what happened, trying not to move my lips because a few of the girls that were on the other side of the gym where watching my every move. Edward's hands clenched into fists that I quickly concealed with my hands from the watchful eyes of the others.

"They're hurting you because they're jealous?" he whispered, glaring at me.

I shrugged.

"Bella, this isn't suppose to be taken lightly," he whispered urgently to me.

"Just help me get out of gym quickly," I muttered.

"Easy," Edward stated, standing.

I fell over right away since I had been leaning against Edward.

"Ow," I muttered, rubbing my nose which hit the seat hard.

"Sorry," Edward muttered, looking genuinely sorry for getting up to quickly, before walking towards the coaches.

I was watching him so closely that I didn't see one of the girls come towards me.

"Bella," she stated.

"Hi," I said, unsure about them.

"Just wanted to have a quick word with you," she said, two girls behind her.

"Oh?" I said.

"Yeah," said of the other. "Come this way, so we could talk in private."

I didn't have much choice but to stand when they grabbed my arms. I wobbled unsteadily.

"Go Bella" said the first girl, pushing me.

Ah, crap, I thought as I went to try to catch myself from falling and only managed to hurt my ankle more when I landed on it funny.

Edward's POV

I was telling the coach what was going on, which I don't think he believed me since Bella is known to be a klutz, when I heard a loud thump from behind me. I turned around to see Bella sprawled across the gym floor, three girls around her.

"BELLA!" I shouted, hurrying back over towards her.

Bella moaned as she turned her head to the side to look at me.

"What happened?!" the coach shouted at the girls that were there as the rest of the class gathered.

"Bella wanted to play another game, coach," one of the girls said, looking so innocent while her eyes were gleaming. "We tried to tell her no that she would hurt herself but she wanted to prove something to her boyfriend that she wasn't a complete fool that she got up and fell doing down the bleachers."

"Bull," I muttered under my breath as I leaned down to whisper to Bella. "Bella, is it your ankle that is bothering you?"

Her head moved very slowly in a nod.

"I'm going to see if it's broke," I stated, taking off Bella's shoe on her hurt ankle.

It didn't look broken but just in case I probably should take her to the hospital. I told the coach that.

"Sure," he said, his eyes narrowed at the girls. I don't think he quite believed them after what I had told him.

I gather Bella into my arms.

"Do you mind getting Bella's clothes for me?" I asked the assistant that was there, not trusting the girls that were there.

The assistant was a guy and looked at the coach with questionable eyes. The other coach sighed, "I'll go," before she ran off to the locker room.

"Where do I need to take her to see a doctor?" I asked the coach, though already knowing since Carlisle had told me one before that the only doctor's office near by was the hospital and that was the county hospital.

The coach told me the county hospital and gave me directions which I made a mental note of. The coach came back with Bella's bag, which her clothes where stuffed into, and her parka which he draped over Bella while I took her backpack.

"I knew I shouldn't have gotten up," Bella muttered as we walked through the parking lot.

"Why did you then?" I asked, slightly angry.

"I didn't have much choice," she stated, shivering slightly since her legs where bear and she was wearing clothes that weren't made for the cold. "They pulled me up and then pushed me."

I put Bella on the Volvo hood so that I could open the door and throw her back into the back. Once Bella was in place and I was behind the driver's wheel, I drove her towards the county hospital, turning up the heat.

"Well…talk about an exciting day," I muttered.

"Yeah…tell me about it," Bella muttered back.

I smiled and turned up the classical music.

Another chapter DONE! WHEW! Lol. And before you all grip, grip…the chapter (that doesn't include the stuff before the "chapter twenty-one" and now this little post-chapter AN) was ALL written on May 7th when I had nothing to do but sit in my dorm and write because it was too hot to go outside unless needed too. So, no, it hasn't effected my studies. Actually, this chapter all the way through chapter 23 has no effect my studies, because chapter 22 is written and chapter 23 is halfway finished! I'm smart :D!

Anyways, review away while I go away to STUDY my brains to mush!

Huggles,
Nollie
