We pulled up to the school around the same time as all of the other students. There were some things even a vampire couldn't escape. I spotted one of Renesmee's dolls on the floor under my feet and a sigh came from me accidently. Edward put his hand on top of mine and brought it to his lips.
"Love, we'll be home in no time. I know it's hard and, trust me, I miss her as much as you do." He was trying so hard to put me at ease but I couldn't help it.
"I know. It's just…she grows so much every time we leave and were missing so much." My eyes pricked.
"Well how about this. When we go home we'll have some real bonding time, just the three of us." He said.
"Okay. We will. But I don't want to take her away from everyone else too. They love her just as much."
"Okay. Then we'll all spend the evening with her." He said.
"That sounds perfect." I smiled.
"There you go. I love seeing your smile. It warms me even more." I smiled even wider for effect. Before we could say anything else Alice popped up outside Edward's window.
"Come on. You guys are so mushy all the time. We're going to be late!" she shrieked. I started laughing at my best friend but got out of the car. How long were we in there again? Oh well. We'll be on time. Edward grabbed my hand and locked his fingers in mine.
We all headed to our rightful classes and made it just before the bell. Oh my goodness. This girl just doesn't give up does she? Lauren was sitting in the spot I sat in last time. Whatever, there was still another seat on the other side. Edward pulled my seat out and then sat in his.
"Good morning Edward." She was trying way too hard.
"Hi um…?" he didn't forget her name. He was just trying to get her to take a hint.
"Lauren." She stated as a matter of fact.
"Okay." He said and turned his body completely in my direction. I tried to contain the giggle. Edward just smirked.
"So, Edward." Lauren spoke, no doubt trying to interrupt us. He turned his body only slightly out of courtesy. It's how he was raised. He didn't say anything so she just started speaking again. You know, Mr. Sanchez is going to make us pick partners for an activity today and I just wanted to say that since you don't have a partner yet, you'll be mine." She told him instead of asking. I just rolled my eyes and spoke for the first time.
"Actually Lauren, Edward and I have already arranged to be partners any time we have the opportunity. So you're not needed. But thanks though." I tried my best to be polite.
"Who said you got to choose him as your partner?" She started to argue.
"Um…?" Edward gestured to Lauren, 'forgetting her name again'.
"Lauren." She dragged her name out for emphasis.
"Yes. Lauren. I'm sorry but I'm already partners with Bella. She's my girlfriend and I'm her boyfriend. I don't know you. And I don't really appreciate you annoying her. Do you get it?" He was not being rude but saying it enough to get the point across.
"You got my name right." She gushed. That's it.
"Would you stop bothering us? Don't you get it? He doesn't want you!" I raised my voice.
"Bellar, how do you know that? Maybe he just doesn't want to hurt your feelings. He could leave you at anytime he wanted." Why did this Lauren have to be as annoying as the last one? And did she just call me Bellar? I saw a quick flash and the rest of the family was outside of the house. Well all of the 'children'. I heard Emmett say something about finally. Is this what Alice had predicted? No one saw them at least.
"Bella, don't do it." Edward said, trying to frighten Lauren no doubt. "What's your name again? Never mind. I wouldn't mess with her if I were you."
"Ugh. Why do you date a girl with a temper?"
"That's it! I am sick and tired of you annoying me. And the next time you try and flirt with him is the last time you'll want to flirt with anyone." Mr. Sanchez started to get worried. Lauren popped out of her seat and threw her pencil at me. I couldn't contain myself when I threw the chair into the wall behind me. It wasn't enough to expose us though. Edward jumped up and put his hand in front me.
"Bella, love, don't." I was still angry enough to punch a hole in the wall but instead I just stormed out of the classroom. The last thing I heard was a 'did you see the way she threw that chair? Lauren you got lucky. She probably could have killed you!' What they didn't know was that I actually could have.
I heard Edward behind me.
"Love slow down." He said. I came to a complete stop and turned to face him.
"I'm sorry. She just wouldn't shut up. I shouldn't have let her get to me like that." I apologized.
"It's okay Bella. You actually controlled yourself better than I thought. And honestly, I was actually hoping you would do something. She's pretty annoying."
"Next time I'll sit by her then. How much trouble am I in?" I asked.
"Absolutely none. Mr. Sanchez says that Lauren started it and I don't think he would get mad at you even if you did." He laughed. "And don't worry; she won't sit by us again."
"This is what Alice saw isn't it?"
"Yes." He started laughing again. We'll skip the rest of this class and come back when the next one starts. "Let's go see Renesmee."
