The next day...
Bella's POV
Renesmee and Jacob tried to get some sleep as we worried about Jessica. Well, I think the one who actually worried the most about being figured out was Edward, since he was the mind reader and all. For the whole night, we were in the living room, Emmett laying down with his head in Rosalie's lap, Jasper and Alice snuggling, Edward and I were in the love seat. I don't think any one of them could relax properly before the next day of school. Edward ended up asking Alice to see the future at least 30 times, while changing his decisions 30 times.
At 5 in the morning, Emmett suddenly got up. "Hey, didn't we have biology homework?" Rosalie stopped messing with her hair.
"Damn, I forgot about that. Alice did you do it?" Alice nodded. "Psh, I bet you did the homework for the year..." Rosalie added quietly.
"Hey I heard that!"
"How about you two love birds. Are you guys already done?" Rosalie slightly looked at us weirdly, as I kissed Edward's cheek. He seemed to be very stressed.
"In fact, no, but we're planning on doing it at school. All we have to do is get two pieces of blank paper and handwrite what we know in cursive." Edward mentioned.
I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we've already taken this year's course one too many times. I actually thought Forks High School would teach their students new things but I think this is nearly the same as the course we took when I was human." The others gasped, shocked.
"No way!" said Rosalie.
"Dude, that would actually be pretty easy. I don't think I'm going to do it right now. It's much more comfortable to be in Rosalie's lap..." Emmett fell back into his original position.
After about two hours, we all got up and began to prepare going to school. "Alice, did you pick out our clothes?" Alice looked up suddenly.
"Huh? What about clothes?" Alice frowned. "Well, I think it's going to rain so I can't make you wear your best. Just go pick out some random colored tee and jeans." She seemed down. Alice wasn't one to easily pass on choosing an outfit. Everyone froze.
"Um, Alice, are you okay?" asked Rosalie, a little concerned.
"Don't be like that! Sure, you think you're the world's worst fortune teller. If you are, which I must say I don't think you are, then you can't lose your other ability:a sense of fashion. Right?" I looked at Rosalie for support. Rosalie looked somewhat like she was struggling. She better not say anything other than right! I made a sign to her that I would rip up one of her ballgown dresses.
"Yeah, okay right." Rosalie answered, a little hesitantly. Alice looked somewhat brighter as she did something like a skip and a walk to our little cottage. Edward and I took our time walking. It was actually quite nice, taking a walk to our cottage in the morning.
"You two are sure slow." We heard Alice grumble on.
"What is your masterpiece for today, Ms. Fashion girl?" I looked at the bed, where she had laid our clothes. I probably couldn't appreciate the clothes as Renesmee did but I could tell that it might just look good. "Wow." I looked at my watch. "Hey Alice, you better change. People will think you're rather strange for wearing the same thing you did last night." Alice looked down and gasped.
"Oh my! You're totally right! These clothes are a fashion disaster!" Alice added on more quietly, "I'm never trusting Rosalie to pick my clothes again."
Edward and I waited for a moment. "You think she'll be alright?" I asked.
"She seems to have recovered in her thoughts as well as her behavior so yes."
"Good."
In a few moments, after changing, we knocked on Jacob's and Renesmee's cottage. "Hey, you two, it's time to go." A yawning Jacob and sleepy Renesmee responded by coming about 3 minutes later.
"Sorry, I'm not quite up to speed yet." Renesmee said. Suddenly her eyes widened. "Oh yeah! We better hurry if we want to see Emmett and Rosalie get in the trunk!" Jacob and Renesmee ran towards the garage.
"They are still as hyper as ever, huh?" I said to Edward. He gave me that dazzling smile again. I actually stopped breathing for a moment.
"Come on Bella, let's hurry too. I actually don't want to miss Emmett getting in the trunk as well." Edward took my hand and ran.
In the garage...
"Okay! Everyone get in the car!"
We were originally going to go in Rosalie's car but even Rosalie had her limits. "I am NOT getting in the trunk of my own car! I refuse to be humilated that way!"
So we decided to take my car. It was a white sleek car with 6 seats. I had gotten it for my 50th vampire birthday. Even though Edward's car was less conspicuous than mine, Edward had wanted to take my car for a change. I had wanted to go in Edward's because it had a lot of memories. "Do you really want to take mine Bella?" asked Edward. Well yes... but-
"No! Nuh-uh. I'm not budging out of this car. This car has a large trunk that I can actually stretch in a little. I'm not getting out!" I heard a muffled voice say. Oh yeah. I totally forgot that this car had a big trunk. Then I heard more from the muffled voice but I couldn't hear.
"What'd he say?" I asked Edward.
"He said, 'Did you purposefully ride Edward's car to torture us?'" Edward said, quietly. "And the answer is no, Bella did not but Alice did." I heard some more muffled sounds. "Renesmee, cover your ear." Jacob advised.
At school...
"Everyone ready?" Edward looked back at us. We nodded. "Go!" We had happened to arrive a little early. It might have been better to go at the normal time because we could mix with the crowd and we'd have a stronger alibi but Edward had noted that if we gave the raffle gift early, then the principal would be less mad.
We went to the office. "Hi, I think we came a little too early. We thought since class won't start for a while, we might help out with anything." Rosalie said to the secretary. She seemed tired and quite happy to accept our help.
"Of course! Please help us out all you want!" We all smiled and nodded. Maybe those acting classes I took a while back were beneficial after all...
We helped send some things to teachers and teachers to put down the chairs that were on top of the desks. After about 15 minutes of playing helper and messenger, Alice and I went to the restroom. She brought a little bag in a somewhat bigger bag with her.
Originally, the plan was for us to quickly leave the bag of raffle items in the office but there had been spy cams hidden, and hidden rather badly I might say, all around the school, as expected, overnight. Alice went in first. Alice was supposed to pretend going into a stall by going in slowly and then, quickly coming out as the stall door closed. I opened the door rather slowly so our timing would match. I felt a wind pass me as Alice with her super vampire speed quickly ran out.
I looked around. There were no cameras installed in the bathroom. Still just in case, I entered a stall. I hoped Alice would do it well. She was supposed to run to the office, throw the little bag to Rosalie who would in turn throw it onto the somewhat flat pillow that was coincedentally placed on the secretary's desk. Jasper was to be by the window and signal to Jacob as he heard Alice begin to run. Then Jacob would enter the office wearing something like an old man's winter coat and hat (not to mention gloves), that would cover his body and face, quickly, pretend to take something out of his pocket (while actually catching the bag Rosalie would throw) and put it on the pillow, and run. Of course, Jacob had to come in at the right time as Alice did. Then Jacob had to run into the forest. If he ran in the forest for a while, he would probably reach La Push.
I prepared as I flushed the toilet and got out. I washed my hands and opened the door slowly again. Alice had said to open the door after 30 seconds had passed. I saw Alice running especially fast towards me. She entered the bathroom and ran to the door and did her act of coming out of the bathroom stall. "You know, you should teach me how to do that." Alice just smiled.
Later at school, over the intercom.
"I would like to thank the thief. I know those are strange words but the thief has returned the raffle items." Everyone in class cheered, including us.
"We are unable to find who the thief is due to his careful handling and the lack of security in this school but it's a great thing that the thief has returned the items to us. However, I would like to say that there will no longer be Parent Night due to these events. I'm sorry to all of you but that's how it's going to be. Anyway, have a good day today."
Everyone was silent in our room. However, Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett, and I shared a look that would be described as smiling slyly.
Mission accomplished.
