Sorry for my lack of
updates! I've been working on 'The Thief' (speaking of which, please
go to my profile and vote cause it's at a tie and I can't update
until I know what I'm writing!)
Anyway... Finally! A chapter! And
one without songs! Maybe... lol
Special thanks go to Ashleigh, for being dyslexic and having someone in her class that didn't know what that meant. Thanks for letting me use your story. And thanks for being dyslexic so I could actually have a story this funny! lol
I don't own Twilight. Why so serious?
When I woke up in the morning, I sighed heavily. It was time for the end-of-the-year exams. Bleh.
Not wanting to get out of bed, I let myself roll, expecting to hit the floor suddenly. I was surprised when I didn't, but then I remembered that Edward would never let me fall.
"Good morning, Bella."
My reply was a sleepy and unenthusiastic groan.
He chuckled.
"Nice to see you're looking forward to the exams."
I groaned again, only to be met with another laugh from him.
"Do you have to be so cheerful about it?" He was about to respond, but I simply answered myself.
"Of course you do. There's no possible way you could fail your exams. You've been around for a century. You know everything." There was a bitter edge to my voice that I did not expect.
"Which is why you will pass, because I tutored you." Edward mocked my tone with a grin. He was simply immune to my bad mood. When he grinned my favorite crooked grin, I couldn't help but stop being grumpy. I felt a goofy smile spreading across my face at the joy of seeing his beautiful topaz eyes and mocking crooked grin.
"I have to get ready."
"Yes, you do. I'll pick you up later." He gave me a swift kiss on the lips, and then he was gone. I sighed and got ready for school.
(AN. I'm doing an Ashleigh and skipping this part. Just going right to Bella's exam.)
When Edward and I got to the Biology exam, we were early. Thanks to his unnaturally speedy driving. Angela was the only other one in the classroom. She was reading a book, as usual. We exchanged a quick hello before Edward and I went to our seats. Soon after, everyone else started filing in.
Unexpectedly, I finished my exam early. Of course Edward had finished within two minutes of receiving the exam, but I was surprised that I had finished early too. I thought I was going to still be stuck on the tenth question when time was up. Instead, I just waited with Edward while everyone else finished theirs. We weren't allowed to leave until everyone was done.
Mr. Banner and a student were talking at his desk. They were talking about their favourite scientists.
"Einstein was also dyslexic," Mr. Banner was saying. Huh. I never knew that. I should have.
Just then, Mike looked up from his test.
"You mean Einstein couldn't read?!" He looked shocked.
Beside me, Edward was slightly shaking with silent laughter.
"Uh, Mike? I'm dyslexic," Angela said.
Mike whirled around to see her, as did almost everyone else in the classroom.
"Oh. So, can you read?"
At first, Angela blinked. Then the classroom erupted with laughter. I looked at Edward, who looked like he was about to throw himself on the ground from laughter. Stupid mindreading vampire.
It must have taken ten minutes for all the laughing to quiet down. It was a well-known fact that Angela loved to read. She almost always had a book with her. If not a book, something else.
Mike was laughing with everyone else, but he looked embarrassed.
"Dyslexics can read. They just see words backwards. So it's harder, but they can read," Edward explained to him with a hint of smugness in his voice. It was pretty funny.
"Oh," Mike mumbled and sunk down into his seat. For a somewhat smart guy, Mike can be pretty dumb sometimes.
I smiled at him, trying to make him feel better. At least he made us laugh. And made me forget about all these stupid exams, even if it was only for a minute.
So yes this was a short chapter. Sorry. It's better than none! lol Don't forget to review!
