A/N: So… I'm trying to update more with this story. I've been neglecting it thanks to my other story. Anyway I'll quit rambling and start writing.


Chapter 5

I woke up at 7 and shook the dream out of my head. I probably should listen to Zoey. She has been through the whole teacher crush thing. If it was what she thought was best… then I would try to avoid him. I was ready by 7:45 so I decided to see if I could get my schedule changed. As much as I'd like to stay in his class… I just couldn't. I couldn't let Zoey or Nyx down.

I ran out the door and down the stairs. I grabbed a granola bar and a Diet Mountain Dew. It didn't take long for me to get across campus to the main office now that I knew where I was going. I walked into the office and up to the front desk.

"Hello, I'm-." The lady cut me off.

"Isabella Swan. Yes, we've heard a lot about you. What can I do for you dear?" The redheaded lady flashed me a smile.

I smiled back. "I was wondering if I could get my schedule changed."

Confusion flooded her face. "Why in the world would you want to do that dear? The classes that have been chosen for you are greatly thought over. I'm sorry but it is impossible to change you classes. Unless you would like to talk to Neferet."

I shook my head. "No, that's okay. Thank you anyway." I would just have to suffer through this year. I could try again tomorrow I supposed. I took off down the dark corridor and toward what I hoped was the third former hallway. My curiosity stopped me when I saw who I believed was Neferet standing with her back to me in on of the crooks she seemed to be having a conversation with someone.

I fought the urge to run and instead slowed my pace. "Think of the possibilities. With your affinity and I ruling the school."

I walked quickly past them and craned my neck to see whom she was talking to. All I had to see was his haystack of bronze golden hair. Zoey was right. She leaned in to whisper in his ear and handed him a note. I rolled my eyes and took off down the hallway to get out of there.

Thankfully they must not of seen me. I plopped down next to Zoey and placed my head on the cool desk. "Bella? Are you alright?"

Zoey rubbed my back. "Yeah, I'm fine. You were right though."

She caught on. "Oh, I'm so sorry. Do you want me to zap him?"

I smiled. "No, he's still a teacher."

She sighed. "Fine, it would be pleasurable though. I haven't zapped anyone in awhile."

I frowned. "They were in the hall. Neferet was whispering in his ear." I shuddered at the mental image.

She huffed. "Don't worry about it Bella. The same thing happened to me. She has them all wrapped around her evil little finger.

Neferet glided into the room as soon as the bell rang. "Good evening class. Today we will be learning of the Volturi and how not to provoke them."

Class was boring. I had to read the chapter on Volturi and take notes. What fun! Not. So I was already in a bad mood when it was time for Psychology. I walked into the room repeating the same routine of placing my head on my desk. I head a high-pitched squeal and I looked up.

"Oh my gosh! You must be Bella!" A vampire that looked more like a pixie wrapped her tiny arms around me. "We're going to be best friends!"

I pushed her off of me. "Um, okay?"

She giggled. "Oh, sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Alice! I'm the dance teacher here. I'm only 17 though. Just like you. They think I took less time to change thanks to my vertically challengedness."

I couldn't help but smile. She was just so darn cute. "Okay, well how do you know me?"

She giggled again. "Oh silly Bella. You don't think I wouldn't know who my new best friend is do you? I've been waiting to meet you since I got my affinity! I told Carlisle that you would be here!"

Jasper walked in the room and she jumped into his arms. "Why didn't you tell me my new best friend was in this class?"

She popped his arm. He laughed. "I did sweetie. You were online shopping."

She sighed. "Oh, okay thank you." She rewarded him with a kiss.

He chuckled. "Honey, I have to teach class. You need to go now."

She pouted and he kissed her stuck out lip. I have never seen to people so much in love. I sighed. Oh how I wished that love would find me.

"Bye new best friend!" Alice waved goodbye and I waved quickly goodbye to her.

That was the most exciting part of psychology. Next was grammar. Needless to say I didn't need to learn my prepositions. I figured as long as I knew how to talk and write… in the real world no one asks you to point out prepositions. We got started on a new assignment. We had to write a research paper on one of the six basic knowledges; Literature, Mathematics, History, Sociology, Physical, or Musical.

I of course thanks to my love of music picked music. We were escorted to the library for our one-day in the computer lab. We were advised to use the library for extra research. After grammar was literature. We were reading Dracula and reading about the negative effects it had on Vampire society today. Apparently it was all caused by bloodlust. Something I apparently had already acquired even though I wasn't supposed to get it until my fifth former year at the least.

Finally the dismissal bell for lunch sounded and I headed toward the cafeteria. Shaunee and Erin found me and we linked arms. "So our dearest Bella, how has your day been going?" Shaunee asked.

"Fine, I think I tried to get switched out of my music class." The stopped and spun me around off into the corner.

"Why would you do that?" Erin's eyes grew wide.

"I don't know. I've heard it's not good to mix business with pleasure." Oh how I wished that wasn't true.

Shaunee chuckled. "Just because Zoey has bad trust issues that doesn't mean that you do. If you like the guy go for it."

"If only it were that easy. I think he's into Neferet." I shuddered remembering the scene from the night before.

They sighed. "Okay, whatever you say."

I walked into the lunchroom and the left me to go hop in line. I sat down next to Zoey. She already had my food. "Hey Zoey, Erick." I nodded my head toward him.

A cute shaggy blonde haired guy pranced over to our table and grinned at me. "Hey, I'm Mike Newton. I wanted to know if you would go on a date with me."

I was still trying to get over the whole Edward thing. He batted his eyes and put on his puppy dog face. "Um, sure. I guess. I'm not sure where we could go though."

He sighed. "I know, the school's on lockdown. I have my ways though." He grinned at me.

"So, tomorrow I'll pick you up at four from the dorms?" He batted his eyes. He was kind of cute, no match for Jake… or Edward.

"Sure, I guess so."

He grinned. "Great. See you then."

Zoey's mouth dropped open and Erick laughed and closed it. Before I could say anything a certain black haired pixie arrived at our table her intricate tattoos shining in the moonlight.

"Let's go Bella! We must go dress shopping." She pulled me from my chair and I grabbed my food.

"Alice! Wait on. We only have 20 minutes. Besides how did you even know I was going on a date?" She stopped but then kept pulling me.

"My affinity of course. If I concentrate then I see what's coming. Now let's go. You need a dress. We have to order it now if we want to get it here on time." She grabbed my arm yanking me toward the teacher housing. I dropped my salad in the trashcan figuring it was too late to try to eat.

She pulled me up the steps of the old building and up the stairs to the left. She sat me down on the chair and placed a lap top in my lap. "I like that one." She pointed to the picture of a simple black halter dress. It was really pretty.

"Me too." I smiled.

She grinned. "Well, that was too easy."

She clicked the buy button and somehow already knew my size. Wiping her brow she spun me around in the chair. "Well, now we have time to play dress up!"

Her eyes gleamed with delight. "Alice, no. Let's not play dress up."

She closed the door and locked it. "Please Bella?" Her bottom lip stuck out and I now knew why Jasper always gave in.

"Fine." I placed the laptop on the bed and sunk back into the chair.

"Now, let's get started." Her hands moved wildly around the desk and she smoothed stuff over my face. In about ten minutes she was done. "Okay, now for your wardrobe."

I stood up to protest. "But Alice, I like my clothes."

She laughed. "Bella, you're so drab." She rushed into her closet pulling out a lime green and black striped corset with a black mini skirt and black knee high boots. To go over the corset was a black half jacket with the third former symbol on it. It was exactly what she was wearing, except hers were black and pink. Also she looked amazing in hers. "How about these?"

My eyes widened. "You want to put me, in those?"

She nodded. "Here take them."

She threw them at me and pushed me into the closet to change. Seeing as there was no way I was getting out of it I sighed and striped off my clothes pulling on the new ones. I looked over myself and sighed. I actually didn't look that bad. Thanks to the change I was looking less like my old self everyday. My boobs were a little bigger and not a blemish in sight on my face. That was probably due to the fact that I didn't sweat anymore.

I stepped out of the closet and Alice squealed. "Bella, you look amazing." She pulled out a camera and pressed her face next to mine taking a picture of us together. "This is so my new myspace display picture!"

Before I could grumble she pushed me back down into the chair. "Hold on, I have to do your hair."

"Alice, it would be pointless. I have kickboxing next class." I glanced at my cell phone. The lunch bell rang in five minutes.

She groaned. "Fine, but your dress should be here tomorrow sometime during the day. I'm on their priority list."

I laughed. "Alice, I've only known you for what? Three hours?" Her face fell. I gave her a hug. "And you're already my best friend."

She squealed and laced her arm through mine. "I love you too Bella! I'll walk you to your next class!"

She looped her arm through mine and we headed out the door. We made it to the lobby when I remembered my purse. "Alice, I forgot my purse."

She sighed. "Silly Bella, hold on and I'll retrieve it for you." She unhooked her arm from mine and took off up the stairs.

I turned around and examined the foyer of the teacher's dorm. I was looking at the painting on the wall parallel of where I was standing. I felt a cool breeze from the door and I head an intake of breath. I looked to my right to see Edward's eyes roaming over my body.

Usually I would have blushed at this moment in time but after the scene this morning my blush was hidden deep within the disgust. I turned my focus back on the painting as if it were the code to survival.

I felt his presence next to me but refused to acknowledge that he was there. I probably looked like a slut in this outfit but for once I didn't care. Maybe word had gotten around about Mike and mine's date. Or knowing him he probably just read someone's mind. He was probably reading mine at this moment. Right, I better start thinking of things that would tick in off.

Mike, Jake, Werewolves, shirtless guys. Edward with his shirt off. My dream. Jeez this is not working.

He chuckled. Probably due to my apparent rambling. "So Bella, what is so interesting about this painting?"

I rolled my eyes but didn't answer him. Where was Alice with my purse? "Oh, so it's a guessing game?"

I still didn't answer him.

He sighed. "I wish I could read your mind."

That caught me off guard. I turned around to face him. "Wait, you can't read my mind?"

His grin turned into a frown. "No. I wish I could though."

I scrunched my eyebrows and he laughed again. "Why?"

He studied my face. "So I knew what you were thinking when you said yes to going out with Mike Newton."

I smiled. I knew that would get him. Oh well, serves him right for leading me on. "I don't believe I know what you're talking about."

He huffed. "You can't seriously see something in that guy."

I rolled my eyes. "Actually I don't know anything about him. He asked me out and I said yes. That's usually what you do to meet people."

He stepped in front of me. "I don't like the way he thinks about you." He stroked my cheek with his thumb.

It took all my strength not to lean into his hand. "It doesn't matter. It's none of your business." I looked around. "Alice!" I yelled for her.

He smirked. "She's a little preoccupied at the moment." He tilted my head so I was looking him in the eyes. "What if I want it to be my business?"

The bell rang and I pulled away from his grasp. "Then maybe you should pick a side. I don't like double agents." I walked toward the door. "Tell Alice to give me my purse later."

I ran from the building in a rage. I missed Jake. There was never drama with him. All that mattered was that I loved him and he loved me. I ran to my kickboxing class and got in just as the bell rang. I took my seat in the bleachers next to Shaunee and Erin. They had my bookbag and purse.

"Hey, where'd you get my purse?" They handed me my stuff.

"Um, a pixie looking girl brought it by. She said you'd be looking for it and she's sorry about the confrontation." Shaunee grinned.

"So, you and Newton? What happened to Edward?" Erin pried for details.

I shrugged. "I don't know? It's better than sitting around and doing nothing tomorrow night. And the Edward thing. He need's to get his junk straight."

"Listen up! Pick up your gym bags and get to stepping." Emmett's voice boomed.

I filed down with the rest of the class and picked up my bag trudging into the locker room. We quickly changed and started our class. We were starting the anger management classes today. We were supposed to channel our anger out into the punching bags.

This was rather easy to do. I just picked a spot and imagined it as Edward's head. After about thirty minutes of this I felt a lot better. Emmett blew his whistle and we all jogged toward the locker rooms. Not being able to sweat is probably one of the best things about being a vampire.

I pulled back on my corset and got Shaunee to tie the back. "Wow girl, this corset is fine! Where did you get it?"

I smiled. "My new best friend."

It was hot and since the skirt had the needed emblem on it I didn't bother putting the jacket back on. The great thing about vamp schools… no dress codes. I walked through the halls making my way toward the auditorium.

I stepped into the chorus room and felt his eyes smoldering into me. I walked around the piano and sat in my assigned seat. I placed my stuff down and grabbed my folder from the shelf. Taking my seat next to Chloe I decided it best not to look up.

"Can I have everyone's attention?" Edward's voice rang throughout the room.

I focused on the wall behind his head trying to ignore the stoned expression on his face. He coughed. "Everyone's attention."

I still didn't meet his eyes. "Miss Swan, outside. Now!" He pointed toward the door.

I got up and stormed out the door. "Please excuse Miss Swan's actions."

Alice skipped in the room and sat down at the piano. "Let's do warm ups!"

Edward followed me out the door closing the door behind me. He looked me over with his eyes. "What did I do?"

I glared at him. "Apparently Neferet."

His eyes grew wide. "I knew it was you in the hallway. I could smell you." He walked toward me burying his nose in the crook of my neck. "Mmm, freesias and strawberries."

I pushed him back. "I'm not going to be your puppet. You're not going to play with my head. I won't make the same mistakes Zoey made."

He chuckled and advanced toward me making a shallow slit on my neck. He pressed his lips to my neck and passion overwhelmed me. "You taste better than you smell."

I knew I should have pushed back. "Edward, you're a teacher."

He pulled back to look in my eyes. "I am not Loren Blake."


A/N: Wow… that was a lot of writing. So tell me what you think.

Review!
