SONG: that's what you get by paramore
Due to Edward's insane driving, we got to school right on time; possibly a little early. As usual, Edward parked his Volvo next to Rosalie's bright red BMW who no one dared parking next to, fearful they would hit it and feel her wrath.
Before Edward got the chance to open my door for me as he always did, I stuck my tongue out, mimicking Alice again, and opened it. I was sick of being babied. Edward chuckled and walked - human pace - over to my side to shut it after I got out. He grabbed my hand after I slung my backpack over my shoulder. Alice had been waiting for us next to Rosalie's BMW, but I hadn't been paying attention. When I heard her yelling, I jumped.
"Oh, Bella, Edward! Hi!" she cheered, walking over to us with a big smile. I smiled back while Edward remained looking indifferent.
"Hey, Alice," I said as she pulled me into a half hug while I still held onto Edward's hand.
"You'll do perfectly on your test," she whispered into my ear, even though I knew Edward could hear. I shot a look at him to find him scowling at Alice. I cleared my throat to catch his attention.
"Thank you," I said and he looked at me. He simply smiled and kissed my cheek.
"I did nothing, love, but I did tell you so," he chuckled. I laughed and looked at Alice.
"Thanks, Alice," I said.
"I know, I know. I'm the best, aren't I?!" she giggled at her own joke and grabbed my other arm to link it with hers. "Come on, lovebirds, time for school."
She tugged me along for a very short period of time before Edward pulled me back slightly, breaking the grip Alice had on me without harming me.
"I think I'll take it from here," he said sternly.
Alice rolled her eyes, muttered "Grouch," and walked next to me.
When we got to the building where Alice's Spanish class was held, she kissed me on the cheek and scurried off to her class without a word. (A/N: I will be making all of their schedules up. I tried to look through to find them, but Stephenie doesn't mention them that much, at least not that I found. Sorry :D)
"Ugh, English," I groaned as we reached the building. Edward chuckled.
"Imagine that times one hundred years," he murmured just loud enough so I could hear but not loud enough where anyone who was gawking at us did.
People had relatively gotten over Edward and I dating, but the freshmen stared mostly, wondering how someone as plain as me had gotten lucky enough to date someone as breath taking as Edward. To be honest, I wondered myself. Very rarely did I hear comments from people in our grade, they seemed to have gotten used to it, which made me at ease, I didn't like unwelcome attention. Every once and a while Edward would growl or mumble incoherently. I always asked what was wrong and I always got the same two responses. Either "It's nothing, love. Just some boys can't keep their minds to themselves. You're too beautiful for your own good." Or "Newton", meaning Mike Newton who I thought had gotten used to the idea of Edward and I being together.
We walked into English class silently, and immediately went to the back to go to our assigned seats that were next to each other. It was amazing what favors Edward could get.
Mr. Greene (A/N: mentioned in Eclipse) began his class lecture as soon as the last person entered the room. Preparing myself for utter boredom, I grabbed my notebook and pen out of my bag.
"Hello class!" exclaimed the normally grumpy teacher. My eyebrows rose skeptically at his good mood. I heard Edward chuckle next to me. "Today, I thought we'd keep it easy. So, I will be putting writing prompts on the board and you're going to have to think like a specific character from the book we've been reading."
The class went by surprisingly quickly. Edward often asked to read mine, but I always said no; or I tried to, anyway.
"Bella, what are you afraid of?" he whispered loud enough so I could hear him over the conversations being had around me.
"It's not good. I'm not even trying," I said harshly. My work was horrible; I knew it, especially when compared to his stories which could have made a best selling author cry in shame.
"Please, Isabella?" Edward asked seductively, boring his topaz eyes into mine. I knew what he was doing; he was trying to dazzle me. Even knowing this, I couldn't say no. I shook my head to relieve some of the dizziness, but handed him my notebook.
The reaction from Edward was something I'd expected, but when I had not expected was to believe his words.
"Bella, this is… amazing, for lack of a better word," he said, placing the notebook back on my desk. I blushed and turned back to work.
