A/N: I promise Carlisle and Esme will be in the next chapter. And yes, Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle and Esme are all vampires. This chapter, Mike is more in-character than the last. And I apologize for the wait so I put the next two chapters in one, sort-of. They were cut down into one now. My excuse, well I just never got around to it and I gave my hard copy of the story to a friend who I got obsessed with Twilight for her to read and I never got it back so I had to rewrite this all. Again, I apologize but now it is summer and I am back in the swing of things.
Bella POV:
When Edward and I got to class, he headed to his seat and I went up to the teacher's desk.
"Um, hi, I'm Bella Swan," I said to the teacher behind the desk.
"Ah yes, Ms. Swan. I'm Mr. Banner, your Biology II teacher. Please take a seat next to Mr. Masen please," he said, gesturing towards Edward. I must say, I was glad that for one class, I wasn't going to have to stand up and get a full introduction.
I reached the desk and sat down next to Edward, smiling at him. He returned my smile with the most gorgeous crooked smile I have ever seen. Under the desk, he slipped his hand into mine and interlaced our fingers together. I looked into his eyes and could feel heat creeping up onto my cheeks. I tried to turn away, but Edward's gentle finger under my chin turned my face back to him.
"Don't hide your blush, it's beautiful," he said; only making me blush even more. His eyes darted to behind me then back to my face, annoyance now taking over his features.
"Newton," he said, answering my unasked question. He dropped my hand and turned away, giving me the cue to talk to Mike.
"So, Bella, I was thinking maybe we could see-"
"Mike, you asking me out is flattering but I just remembered I have other plans tonight," I explained to him the nicest way possible.
"What? With who?" He asked, sounding almost frantic.
"A friend," I stated simply.
"Oh, well then, maybe another time," Mike commented hopefully.
"Actually Newton, that's going to be impossible," Edward said, cutting in. He took my hand back in his and put them up on the table intertwined together. "Bella is going to be going on dates with me for as long as she wants, since we are official now." Edward smirked at Mike, showing off that he had me, which I wasn't to upset about.
"Sorry Mike," I said, trying to sound truly apologetic when I wasn't.
"yeah whatever," He said, sulking off to his seat. I turned around to face Edward and slapped him on the arm.
"Hey! What was that for?" he asked.
"For being mean to Mike, and to blunt, I could of done it myself you know," I told him.
"Eh," he said shrugging, "Newton deserved it for trying to steal you away from me."
"Your sweet," I said back.
"Alright class, settle down," Mr. Banner said. The rest of the class went by pretty quickly. Soon, I was out the door and onto my last class, which scary enough, was Gym.
"So, Bella, where are you headed?" Edward asked me once out of the room.
"Gym," I said, shuddering.
"Oh," Edward said, sounding a bit disappointed. "Well, I'll see you after then, 'cause I have Spanish." He leaned in and swiftly kissed me before turning and walking away.
I entered the gym class and headed to the teacher. His name was Coach Clapp and told me I could just sit and watch since I didn't have a uniform. At least I didn't have to humiliate myself the first say. In this class, Mike Newton sadly was present, as were a few of his lackies like Eric Yorkie, Tyler, and Ben.
After the class, I was able to be the first out since I didn't have to change. Edward was lazily standing outside the gym, leaning against the wall waiting for me. I smiled and went over to him. He kissed me and silently lead me to his car. Jazz was already taking the truck back and was probably giving Alice a ride. The entire ride was silent, except for me giving edward directions to my house.
We finally pulled into my driveway and I saw the truck parked. I turned to Edward and saw his face quite close to mine. His lips crashed into mine and we kissed for a while until I had to pull back for air.
"I'll pick you up at 6, ok?" Edward said. I simply nodded and got out of his car. I stood and watched him pull out of the driveway then turned and headed inside.
Inside, Jazz was on the couch watching T.V.
"Oh, Jazz, um, Edward said--"
"Alice already told me. 6, right?" Jazz asked, interupting me.
"Uh, yeah." I said, turning and heading up to my room. Almost immediately I began to go through my clothes to find an outfit for the night. The clock on my desk said 3:30, so it meant I had 2 and a half hours to get ready. Oh, only if that time went faster.
------------------------------------------
Six o'clock didn't come soon enough, but once it did I was completely ready. I had managed to find my old homecoming dress from Phoenix in my closet. It was a tan color with an antique look to it having a sheer lace over it. It stopped about low thigh and had a black ribbon around the waist the went up to tie around the neck. (pic in profile) Jasper had on a plain coral dress shirt with courdaroy pants.
At exactly six o'clock, the doorbell rang and Charlie got up to get it. Both Alice and Edward entered the living room and Jasper and I almost stood up on cue. Alice was wearing a flowy dress that ending mid claf and was brown and coral colors in a paisley like pattern. And Edward looked...well amazing. He had on a simple black dress shirt and black dress pants, but the brought out his every features.
"Well, you four do look very nice, I hope you have fun," my dad said. I went up to him and kissed him on the cheek and followed Edward, Alice, and Jasper out.
I was shocked when I saw that there on the side of the road was a long black limo. I turned to Edward and he simply shrugged saying, "Already had it for tonight so why waste it." He took my hand in his and lead me to the door where Alice and Jasper were already getting in.
The ride to the restuarant was great. Edward sat next to me and held me close the whole ride while Jasper was doing the same to Alice on the other side of the limo.
Everything was going fine until we heard tires screech, the ride go extremely rough, a loud crash, and all of us getting thrown around the back of the limo. Then everything went black.
A/N: So there we go, a cliffy. I had a much longer chapter written but as I said, I gave the copy to my friend and never got it back. Oh well, I'll write the next chapter and post it hopefully by next week. It will take a while since I have colorguard practice the rest of this week and a DCA competition this weekend in Clifton, NJ. I apologize again. And as they always say, reviews love!!
