BPOV
I woke the next morning to my screeching alarm. I groaned and rolled into my pillow. Ten minutes later, with a resigned sigh, I dragged myself up and out of my warm bed. I stood in front of my mirror and rolled my eyes at my stupid hair. Damn getting Dad's genes. Why couldn't I have perfectly straight hair just like Mom?
Plucking out my straightners, I began working on making my hair normal. For once, I didn't burn myself which helped considering burn marks on my face was SO NOT attractive. Anyway, I had English to look forward to.
I giggled at the thought, biting my lip like a lovesick teenager. Shaking my head, I headed to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, meanwhile humming to myself. I spat into the sink and brushed through my now straight hair.
I swear I skipped to my wardrobe as I began to rifle through my clothes. I ended with black jeans, a red cami top with a zipup blue hoodie and my very much beloved sneakers. I fluffed my hair, added some lipgloss to my lips and grabbed an apple as I slammed the door behind me.
I grinned to myself as Alice's yellow Porsche pulled up onto the curb. Perfect timing.
"Bella! You look fiine!" I laughed at Alice and jumped in. I looked at my pixie best friend and sighed to myself. Perfect, as always. Alice's short black hair was curled beautifully and her make-up was divine. Wearing a short skirt and a sequined purple top with her black pumps, she was without a doubt gorgeous. And I looked fine? Sure.
I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Whatever Alice!" I looked out the window absentmindly as Alice sped along the roads, through town. Alice flicked my arm and smirked as I raised my eyebrows at her.
"Yes, Bella Swan. You are gorgeous and you know that! Damn, whoever this is all for," she gestured at me then continued, "they are beyond lucky, Bell!"
I smiled at her, blushing at Alice and who 'all this' was really for.
"Believe me, Bella?" Alice asked while watching me with raised eyebrows and I smiled, nodding and Alice laughed in approval as she pulled outside the art block.
"Ok, Alice. I'll see you at lunch. Love ya, hun!" I hugged her and grabbed my bag, getting out the car and I made my way over to my forensic science class. Gotta love college. I smirked to myself as I sat next to Ben, my classmate as the professor began talking about DNA and its importance. Been there, done that. I sighed and pulled out my notebook, ready to make useless notes.

By the time I got to English, I wasn't in the best of moods. Forensic was shit boring, I kept getting picked on in Ancient History for answers that the teacher barely knew, and lunch was plain with idle chatter while Jessica flirted with Mr. Masen. Bitch. I truly hated that girl. Not even Alice could cheer me up which visibly worried her.
And my last lesson before English was OK, considering it was Creative Writing and I totally ROCK at that. But by the time Mr. Masen (well, Edward or how I like to mentally call him, SexyWard) walked in I was still pissed at Jessica for her little stunt at lunch.
"Ok, people, quiet! Um, Bella? It's Bella right?" Edward raised his eyebrows in the form of a question and I nodded as I bit my lip as his deep green eyes stared into mine. Oh for the love of God. His breathtaking smile that he returned made it impossible for me to talk and helped me forget about Jessica. Almost.
"Awesome. Come help me hand out the books out then?" I swallowed hard, trying not to say something sexually inappropiate in front of the whole class and walked to the front with my heart pounding so hard because of the looks Edward had gave me. I was almost scared the whole room could hear it.
Edward handed me the books and brushed the tops of my fingers with his. Accidental surely, but as I handed the books out, I couldn't help but hope. I sat back down, my heart and mind racing. I bit my lip. lost in my own world. So deep I didn't even realize when someone was repeating my name. So I gasped out loud when I finally heard them as they poked me hard.
I turned my head sharply and noticed it was only Jacob. Shit, I didn't even see him when I came in the room and sat down. Jacob grinned and laughed which made me smile.
"You OK there, Bells?" He smirked at his nickname for me and I giggled with a nod.
"I'm fine, wolfboy." I laughed as he rolled his eyes at my nickname for him. So, crushing on the sub already AND everyone is staring at you. Fabulous. I blushed and smiled at Jake.
"Bella? Can you pay attention please?" Edward raised an eyebrow at me with a smirk playing at his lips and something in his eyes was telling me something else but.. What? I bit my lip to hold back a giggle and nodded.
He pursed his beautiful, desirable lips and continued with his explanation of the excercise. Jake's voice tickled my ear and I smiled, rolling my eyes. "Oh Isabella, marry me!" It was the line I rejoiced over in one of my romance books, and it made me even happier that it had my name in it.
I punched Jake's arms playfully and giggled at his accent. I soon got a look, another undescribable look from Edward so I tried to behave for the rest of the hour to avoid stares, but sitting next to Jake made it almost impossible.
The bell finally rang for the end of period and I gathered up my things. Edward had seemed tenser and I just couldn't understand why. Well it didn't matter anyway, right? It wasn't like I owned him anything, despite the fact I wanted to..
"Bella?" Edward's voice cut short my thoughts and I looked up automatically at the musical voice I dreamt about last night. Please be in a better mood .. But no, still the brooding forehead and a tense look about him. I nodded politely at him and bit my lip. Why did I keep doing that around him?
"I'd like like you to come by here tomorrow after school please. Considering I doubt you were listening to anything I said this lesson. Thank you. Uh, ok class, you can go now." He smiled at the room full of students and this time, unlike the smiles earlier in the lesson and yesterday, it was like it was at everyone but me.
The class soon emptied out of the room in a flash leaving just me and Edward in the room alone. What..? Should I say something? Demand what the matter was? Ask him why he was so tense? What should I do?
"Bella? Can, I, uh, help you?" I stood there for a moment longer, before walking out of the room, frustrated. My heart had sunken. Jeez. Now I'd made him pissed, instead of making him like me. Great one, Bella.
I sighed heavily as I walked to the art block to meet Alice.
"Hey!" Alice grinned at me, ever so chirpy. And here I was, in a mood over a stupid detention, with a hot teacher who I could never have, never mind please. God, swan! Get a grip! I plastered on a smile for alice's sake.
"Hey." However, it must have been a sad attempt because Alice had an automatic frown playing on her forehead.
"What's up, Bell?" She crossed her arms, gearing up for serious grilling.
"Nothing! Just had a really shit day, that's all!" I smiled weakly as Alice narrowed her eyes at me and whispered, cold as ice, " I am going to find out, Swan and when I do, get ready for some proper grilling, bitch."
In a flash, she had turned back to normal, hyper-chirpy Alice and had already begun prattling on about Jasper Hale. He was her latest crush and was quite hot with sun-kissed blond hair, devilish looks and cocky smirk.
It actually is amazing I have a clear mind being friends with this lunatic. I laughed out loud at my thought and thankfully, it was at something Jasper had said. Well, that's how it seemed to Alice. She grinned at me and peeled out of the parking lot, and drove me home.
As Alice drove down my road, after dropping me off at my place, my phone vibrated.
New message. I viewed it and grinned.
