Author's Note: Hey, guys! Sorry for neglecting this story lately, but I seriously don't know how to end this thing. Some of you suggested that I keep going instead of ending it. Ha, ha, ha. I would love to, but the thing is, I wouldn't know where to go with it. So I'm asking you – no, pleading you – to give me some time for future chapters. I'm trying to make this thing better for you so you guys don't get bored towards the end. Pretty please!Enjoy!

Chapter 44
"Ready?" Alice asked.
Alice and I were in my Ferrari in front of the main building. I had been glad to see my car again, and had insisted on riding it to school again, even though I could've spent more time with Edward.
"A few more minutes, Alice," I said, leaning my head back. "I missed my car."
"Ugh, you're just like Edward and Rosalie," she grumbled. "What do you see in cars? I mean, it's pretty and all, but really…"
"Alright, alright," I relented, shutting off the engine.
We walked gracefully and quickly into the main office. The place was huge and smelled strongly of peppermint. There were potted plants in every corner, and there were about ten people working behind the counters.
"Hem," Alice cleared her throat in front of a bald man.
He looked up, startled. And his eyes widened.
"Good morning, Mr. Beans," Alice greeted him cheerfully.
"G-good morning, Miss Cullen," Mr. Beans stuttered, still staring at me. "Who's your friend?"
"Oh, I called you yesterday about my sister, remember?" Alice chirped brightly. "This is Isabella, Mr. Beans. Our youngest sister. She's a beauty, isn't she?" She winked at him knowingly.
I smiled, amused. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Beans."
"Nice to meet you too, young lady," he said gruffly, clearing his throat and looking away. "You have some paperwork ahead of you. You should've come in early."
"It's no problem, sir," I said swiftly. "I'll have them done in five minutes."
"Five minutes?" he chuckled. "Miss Cullen, I'm talking about twenty page applications here."
I nodded. "I know. I've been there. I'm just transferring from another college, you know."
He raised his eyebrows disbelievingly, but did hand me the papers.
"You can sit down over there," he said, gesturing towards the waiting chairs.
Alice grinned as I started filling everything out rapidly. "This is fun."
I shrugged. "It's more troublesome for me."
"Whatever. I'm sure you'll feel better once you're sitting down next to your boyfriend."
I grinned. "Boyfriend, eh? That has a nice ring."
"I know. Speaking of rings, I wonder when it'll become 'husband'."
I threw her a sharp look. "Don't get any ideas. I'm sure it'll be a while."
She was smug. "We'll see."
Frowning, I tried to see what she'd seen about Edward and me, but I was frustratingly blocked by the Korean National Anthem.
"Alice…" I said, shaking my head. "I assume Edward knows what you're on about?"
"Of course."
"I'll ask him later then."
She made a face, but let it go. "Done?"
We walked back up to the man who looked surprised. "You're done already?"
I smiled. "I told you that I can have it done in five minutes. Am I done here, sir? My schedule?"
"Yes, well…" He frowned as he handed my schedule to me. "I arranged it so that you can be with your brother, Edward. It's your first time here, so I'm sure he'll be more than happy to show you around."
"Oh, I'm sure he'll be thrilled, sir," Alice said, smirking.
Mr. Beans scowled. "Don't tell me that Isabella here is romantically linked with Edward too?"
I smiled innocently. "Perhaps."
He shook his head. "I don't get it. Siblings are supposed to be siblings. I'm shocked to see that your parents allow you all to do this."
"Oh, but remember, Mr. Beans," Alice said, winking. "We're not really siblings. We're adopted, so I think we're good, don't you? Now come along, Bella. Let's get you to class."
He huffed. "Well, at least you two seem sisterly."
"What did you expect, us to be bisexual?" Alice laughed. "Thank you for helping my sister get in, sir. Have a good day."
"That man is strange," I said as we got back in my car. "But he's pretty sharp for a human."
"Don't worry so much. Nothing will go wrong."
I stopped in front of the fashion buildings and Alice hopped out. "See you later."
She nodded. "Have fun." She disappeared quickly through the corridors.
I watched amusedly at the humans as I drove inside the parking lot for the law building. They gaped as I slid into a space right next to the shiny Volvo.
I got out gracefully and locked my car. Just to warn them not to make any moves on me because I was taken, I walked around the front of the Volvo where Edward was waiting.
"I missed you," he murmured as his arms snaked around my narrow waist.
"It's only been an hour," I said, but I kissed him back.
I could hear the humans whispering to themselves. Who was that hot, new girl? Was she one of the Cullens? Was she with Edward Cullen?
"I believe you are the center of attention amongst the men, my lady," Edward teased as I led the way inside.
"And does that make you jealous, my good sir?" I said, playing along as I walked backwards, pulling him along through the corridors.
"It does," Edward agreed. "But I know I'm lucky to have you, so I won't take you for granted. Who knows what might happen if I do?"
"Someone might ask me out," I said, laughing at the possibility.
"And would you say yes?" Edward asked seductively.
"Maybe." I smiled angelically when he frowned.
We'd reached the classroom. Edward opened the door for me like the gentleman that he was.
The hush that fell all through the classroom was noticeable. The students all stared at me as Edward and I walked in, holding hands. Even the professor, a rather tall, handsome man, stared at me in amazement.
"Who's that?" everyone started to whisper. "She's so beautiful!"
I handed the professor a transfer slip. He took it, still gawking at me in amazement. He signed it, then handed it back to me. He glanced down at our interlocked hands, then made a face.
He sent us to the back of the room where Edward's seat was. We sat together, still holding hands.
The teacher started the lecture. Edward had been right. Law really was interesting. By the end of the day, I just knew that I was going to like this subject.
"So how was it?" Edward asked as we walked back to our cars.
"I think I'll enjoy it," I said approvingly. "I should have done this before instead of taking all those history courses."
He laughed as he opened my car door for me. "Are you picking up Alice?"
"Yes, I'll meet you at home," I said, winking.
He smiled wistfully as I pulled out of the parking space. I couldn't help chuckling as all the humans gawked as I zoomed out of the parking lot.
