Chapter Two
"Dammit guys, why did we ever think it was a good idea to go for a drink on a Sunday night?" I ask Alice and Rose as we all move around the cramped kitchen.
"I believe it was your idea." Rose hands me a cup of coffee.
"Well it's been a tough weekend with the paper and the stress of the test coming up. But, you guys shouldn't ever agree with that." I take a sip of the coffee.
"Quit whining and go get ready for class. You are supposed to leave in ten minutes." Alice pulls the coffee cup out of my hands. "You go find clothes and I'll put this into a travel cup for you."
I walk into my room, throwing on the first pair of sweatpants and tshirt I can find. I pull my uncooperative hair into a messy bun. I'm tying my converses when Alice comes into my room with a travel cup in her hand.
"Try to have a good class." She giggles lightly.
"Yeah, thanks." I mumble as I take the coffee from her hand.
I walk out of the apartment, sipping on the coffee as I make my way to class. The coffee and fresh air do good for the massive headache I have. When I make it to class, I pull out the bottle of aspirin that I keep in my purse and I swallow two with my coffee. Once I've done that, I lay my head on the desk, hoping the lights will be turned off by the time I look back up.
"Rough night?" The chair beside me slides out as someone sits down.
"What gave me away?" I lift my head to see Edward sitting beside me.
"It's everything combined." He smirks as he looks down at me.
"I didn't know you were in my biology class." I look around the classroom, watching people filling in the seats.
"I'm not. The labs are a combination of classes. I sat beside you because I thought you could help me bring my grades up. But, now I'm starting to rethink that decision." He teases me.
"Good idea. There's a seat open by that blonde over there." I point at the blonde girl who was staring at us.
"Oh God, don't point at her." He grabs my arm and puts it back on the desk. "So who goes out drinking on a Sunday anyway?" He continues, pulling out a notebook. "You're going to make a good impression on the lab teacher showing up on the first day hungover."
"Shut up." I pull out the lab book and a notebook, setting them on the desk in front of me.
The teacher, Mr. Banner, walks in a few minutes late. He is an older man with dark hair and glasses.
"Glad to see you all here on our first day. Since you have already had several biology classes by now, we are going to jump right in." He sets his bag down on the table. I groan and I can hear Edward chuckling beside me.
When the class is over, I move quickly to gather my things and make it out of the door.
"Where are you going so fast?" Edward falls into step beside me.
"I have a nursing class right after this one. And it's on the other side of the campus. If I don't hurry, I could be late." I concentrate on my feet as I walk quickly, trying not to trip over myself.
"Nursing, huh?"
"Yeah. I love it." I smile. "What is your major?"
"I'm getting a music degree. But, as you could see Friday night, I'm also working on my music career. Trying to get started on it."
"Well you played wonderfully." I offer.
"Thanks." He smiles at me. "Well this is where my next class is. I guess I'll see you around." He begins walking to the building we are approaching on the right.
"Bye." I call after him, continuing on my path to my next class.
When my classes are finished for the day and I make it back to the apartment, I turn off the lights in my room and lay down on my bed. Just one quick nap and then I'll be able to get up and work on my homework.
I hear the door to my bedroom fling open and then suddenly there is light everywhere.
"What the fuck?" I pull the blanket over my face.
"Time to go shopping!" Alice pulls on the end of the blanket, but I hold onto it tightly.
"We don't need to shop." I roll over, facing the wall.
"We won't have food for dinner if we don't go shopping. And I don't think I can eat pizza again. So get up, Rose and I are waiting on you." She leaves the room with the lights still on and the door still open.
I pull myself away from my bed, leaving the warm comfort. When I walk into the living room, Alice and Rose are sitting on the couch with a puppy laying in between them.
"Why is there a dog here?" I stand in front of the TV, demanding the attention.
"Room inspections. Emmett asked me to keep him while they looked around his apartment." Rose pets the dog.
"Why does Emmett have a dog?"
"I don't know. You know how he is. He probably saw a free puppy sign somewhere and he picked one up." She sighs, running her fingers through her hair.
"Is it house trained? Can it even stay here alone while we go shopping?" I looked at the puppy doubtfully.
"Emmett swears he is. I guess we'll find out when we get back." Rose pets the dog once more before she gets up off of the couch.
Alice, Rose, and I all pile into Rose's red convertible and she takes off for the store. The store is pretty empty and it doesn't take us long before we are checking out. I pick up a hershey's bar from the rack beside the register and throw it on the pile.
I enjoyed the chocolate as Rose drove back to campus. The dog must have been somewhat trained because it met us at the door. I looked around the room to see that everything was still intact, just as we left it. I didn't see any messes on the floor. Alice bends down and scoops up the dog, cooing to it as she walks into the living room. Rose and I walk the bags into the kitchen and begin putting the groceries away.
"Anybody home?" Emmett opens the door and walks in with Jasper following him.
"Ever heard of knocking?" I fake glare at him.
"Awh, Bella, don't act like you're not happy to see me." Emmett wraps me up in one of his bear hugs.
"Put her down." Rose slaps him on the shoulder.
"Ouch, Rosie, that hurt. Kiss it better." He smiles at her as she places me down. She rolls her eyes at me and we walk into the kitchen to find Alice, Jasper, and the dog curled up on the couch.
"Oh that reminds me. Emmett, why do you have a dog?"
"I went to the grocery store and there was this box sitting there by the door. It had free puppies written on the side. There wasn't anyone around, someone must have dropped the box off. I looked inside and there was just this one little puppy in there all by itself. So I picked him up and brought him home." The dog's head lifts at the sound of Emmett's voice.
"Hey, Fang!" Emmett cooes to the dog.
"Fang?" Alice scoffs. "That's not a proper name for a dog."
"Well it's too late now, he already knows his name." Emmett sticks out his tongue at her and takes a seat in my chair.
Rose and I take a seat on the floor and we all watch TV in silence for a few minutes.
"Well, we should be going Rose if we want to make our dinner reservations." Emmett stands up after a moment and Rose joins him. Alice and Jasper stand up too.
"Double date?" I guess as I watch them all get up. Alice nods.
"Well you are free to leave once you get rid of the dog." I look at it still sleeping on the couch.
"Can't you please watch him?" Emmett looks at me, pouting.
"No, it's your dog. It's got to go." I put my hands on my hips, trying to look stern.
"Fang is a he, Bell, not an it." Emmett pouts more. "I'll love you forever. Besides, you obviously need some bonding time. Don't forget to feed him and take him outside. Thanks so much, you're a lifesaver." Emmett pulls Rose to the door. They are both in the hallway before he finishes his sentence.
I sigh as I look at the dog again. He is kind of cute. He is a smallish black dog. I can tell he is going to be huge when he gets older though. I walk into the kitchen, pulling out a bowl to put his food in. When the food starts hitting the bowl, I can hear him running into the kitchen to eat.
I get up from my chair when I hear Fang lightly bark at the door.
"How does he get you outside without anyone noticing?" I ask him as I pick up the leash Emmett left.
Fang lets out another bark as I hook the leash to his collar. I pick him up and lightly jog outside. I set him down on the concrete and he starts sniffing around.
"You show up to class hungover and now you're bringing a dog out of your apartment? You are a rule breaker, Bella Swan." I hear Edward's voice come from behind me.
