SONG: don't trust me by 3oh3

The day was predictably uneventful; except for when I was pleasantly found out that both Edward and Alice were right; I did know the answers on the Biology test. I smiled at him, mouthed a 'thanks', and began my test.

Gym had gone as planned. Mike asked to be my partner, I said yes, fearing I would have to find someone who would actually make me play, and I hit Mike in the head with a tennis ball. It was horrible, despite Mike's positive attitude.

"Mike! I'm so sorry!" I yelled when he got hit and ran carefully towards him. He put on a fake smile and tried to get up, but winced from the pain.

"It's… okay Bella," he said through clenched teeth.

The teacher instructed someone more capable to take him to the nurse's office, where he would most likely just need to say my name to make the nurse understand. Thankfully I didn't have to wait long for them to come back; I saw the other students filing into the locker rooms to change. I changed into my warm clothing in a daze, knowing the faster I got dressed, the sooner I could be with Edward. The second the bell rang, I was the first one out.

He was waiting as usual, leaning casually against the wall. I wondered how he did that; be so casual yet look so good. Maybe it was a vampire thing; I don't know. I felt another huge, stupid grin take over my face as I walked towards him. He returned the smile and took my hands the second he could reach them.

"Hello," he said, lifting a hand up to stroke my cheek with. "How was gym?" he chuckled. It took me a few seconds to realize why.

"You were listening again, weren't you?!" I accused, causing him to pull his hand down. He never answered, but I saw the corners of his lips twitch, fighting another smile. "Unbelievable!"

"Bella, I could have heard that impact even if I didn't have my… ability." My jaw dropped. There wasn't anything to say, so I simply turned and stomped away.

Edward kept up with me effortlessly. Realizing I was no match against him, I stopped and turned. He opened his eyes wide and he smiled innocently. I stifled a giggle; he looked so harmless.

"I apologize, Bella. It wasn't fair to you, but I was extremely curious," he murmured, intertwining our fingers and pulling me lightly to the side of the hallway so we weren't blocking the students who were staring at us curiously.

I shrugged indifferently, Edward groaned.

"How incredibly frustrating it is to not be able to hear your thoughts," he murmured, annoyed.

"Whatever's wrong with my brain, thank you," I mumbled. Edward chuckled and began to lead me towards the door.

"Thanks," I said as he opened it for me. I shivered from the freezing wind that was hitting me. Seeing how cold I was, Edward positioned himself so he was blocking most of the wind, but made sure his icy skin wasn't touching mine. We walked at speed that was considered fast walking. I'm sure I looked ridiculous doing it, while Edward's grace surpassed any.

Alice was already in the car with it started when we got there. I heard Edward groan.

"She's coming home with us," he said quietly as he opened the passenger door, allowing me to step in.

"Hi Bella!" Alice chirped as she slid forward in her seat to talk to me. Edward got in the drivers side and started to back out before I could blink.

"Hey Alice," I smiled at her.

"See, didn't I tell you that your test would be easy?" she boasted with a huge grin on her face.

"Alice, must you show off all the time?" Edward said, rolling his eyes. I laughed.

"Like you don't show off that you can hear people's thoughts," she retorted, sliding back in her seat.

The remainder of the drive was silent. When we got out of the view of people, Edward accelerated the car to eighty. I cringed internally and watched the colors pass.
