12. Parrrttyyyy!!!
Bpov:
I was wade awake by the time Edward's alarm went of; I only had to spend three more nights and four more days in Edward's body. That is to say if everything works out and both Edward and I manage to get each other into Yale. Somehow that doesn't seem so important anymore, I just wanted to escape from Forks and to go study literature in Yale. Emmett would be ok with Rose; my father would eat at the diner everyday and then just watch television like always. Alice and Jasper was both set to go to Paris, so what about Edward? I thought that I wouldn't miss him at all; thoughts could be so miss leading. Edward might just be the reason, why I wanted to get into Yale know.
Still, I do not know why I want to put myself through that kind of torture. What if the girl Edward is in love with also goes to Yale? Do I really want to stare into their love struck faces all the time? Ugh why must this be so frustrating? I shoved the bedcovers away and walked to the bathroom, I took out the shaving utensils and as I closed the bathroom cupboard I paused briefly when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Edward's longish bronze hair was standing up in all directions; there was sleep in his gorgeous green eyes and even his morning stubble seemed cute.
"Why was I so blind?" I cried out in frustration. "Stupid obnoxious silver car owner who managed to worm his ignorant ass into my hart" My crazy thoughts was interrupted when there was a sudden knock on the bathroom door. "Who is stupid?" Alice asked folding her arms while she leaned in the doorway. "I am, may I help you with something?" I asked still annoyed at myself. "What, can't your sister come talk to you without wanting your help with something?" She asked and I just looked at her. She was trying hard not to smile and tried to act like the angel she was most definitely not.
"I'm not going to drag it out of you Alice." I began my morning shaving ritual without even concentrating on not cutting myself. Its funny how quickly shaving became like second nature to me. "Fine, I want something. Jessica is having a house party tonight and mom said I was only aloud to go if you come with me." What she wanted me to go to that skank's house party with her? What if skank disease is contagious? "No, no…. absolutely not." I said and shaved the last bit of morning stubble from Edward's cheek.
"Why don't you take Jasper with you?" I asked heading for the bedroom. "He has to study for a test; oh come on it will be fun." I grunted, yeah girls rubbing up against boys, lots and lots of alcohol being consumed. Sounds like fun, oh and don't forget people that pass out in their own puke. "That is not really my scene Alice, what am I suppose to do there?" She made as if she was deep in thought, "I don't know pick up a girl, dance with her, get her drunk and take shamelessly advantage of her." Girls are not really my type Alice.
"Did you just hear yourself? You are talking a shit load of bollocks and you know it." She made her puppy dog pout and I could feel my resistance slipping. "I may be talking shit Edward but I'm talking good shit at least." I chuckled and grabbed a red shirt from the top shelve and some baggy pants before turning back to her. "You are not going to leave before I agree to go with you, are you?" I accused and she smiled. "No so be ready at seven, the party begins at six." She said pleased with herself. "Wouldn't that make us an hour late?" I asked. "It's called fashionably late Edward."
She said over her shoulder and blew me a kiss before walking out of the door. "I didn't actually agree to go with you, you know." I called after her. "You would have agreed in the end Edward, there is no avoiding the inevitable." She shouted back and chuckling to myself I closed the room door to get dressed. I would only stay at the party for about three hours and then I'm dragging her out of there. Even if meant that she would be kicking and screaming all the way to the car. I decided to myself as I got dressed. When I was done I grabbed Edward's school bag and headed to the kitchen.
Alice was busy making pancakes and Carlisle was seated at the counter drinking some coffee. "Morning dad." I said before helping myself to some freshly baked pancakes. "Morning." He grumbled in reply, this didn't bother me since I was used to this kind of behavior from him by now. I added some strawberries and syrup to my pancakes and ate hungrily. When Carlisle was done he placed his cup in the sink before walking of to his study. "When are you going to sort this thing out between the two of you?" Alice asked from where she was enjoying her breakfast across from me. "Sooner or later the two of you are going to have to talk." I got up and rinsed out my bowl. "Well then it's going to be later, I don't have time to deal with him now."
I didn't wait for a reply and walked to my room to go brush my teeth. I had to wait for Alice to finish up and so I decided to wait for her by the car. It was not raining for a change and as I looked around I spotted my father's cruiser in the drive of our house. That was strange he was always the first one to leave the house. Just as I thought that, the front door opened and he walked out of the house. He spotted me and waved friendly at me. I smiled and waved back cursing myself because Edward wasn't supposed to smile at my father. He walked made his way over towards me, "Hey there Edward, I see you and Bella are spending allot of time together lately."
I nodded, "Yeah she's helping me with my English." He nodded, "So it's nothing more than tutoring? I don't like it when boy's mess with my baby girl." I stifled a laugh, did Charlie really think of me as his baby girl? "No sir I would never mess with her. I fancy another girl in anyway sir, so don't worry about that." My voice almost broke at the last part of that sentence. "Are you saying that Bella is not good enough for you boy?" He asked suddenly and I was flabbergasted, where was this coming from? He almost looked mad. I had to think hard for something that Edward would say and something that would calm him down. "No sir I'm not saying that, it's more like I'm not good enough for her."
This seemed to take Charlie by surprise and he was momentarily speechless. "Well then… I have to go to. Enjoy your day, Edward." I waved to him as he walked to his Cruiser, who was he and what did he do with my father? "Are you waiting for the grass to grow? Come on before we are late." Alice said behind me suddenly shaking me from my thoughts. "Can't we be fashionably late for school?" I asked as I slid into the driver's seat. "Sure if you don't mind detention." I almost forgot that there actually was a reason why school sucked.
It started raining on the way to school and I could barely see out of the windscreen, when Alice suddenly yelled for me to stop the car. I slammed on the brakes and burned some rubber in the process. "What is it Alice, there better be a good reason why I almost crashed the car." She ignored me and rolled down her window. "Angela get in the car, we'll give you a lift!" She yelled to a person standing next to the car, I didn't even see Angela through the storming rain. The back door was opened suddenly and Angela climbed into the car, she was almost soaked to the bone. "Are you ok?" I asked at her concernedly.
"Fine, I'm just a little cold." She said through chattering teeth. "Just a little? You are soaking wet. Here take of your sweater and wear this." I said impulsively pulling my jacket of and handing it to her. She thanked me and did as I said. I turned on the heaters and began to drive to rest of the way to school. "Why were you walking in this in anyway?" I asked as she still quivered in the back seat. "My mother's car broke down…again and I had no other option." She said blushing a little. "Well just call me in the future and Edward and I will help you out." Alice said still sounding concerned about the fragile girl.
"I don't want to impose." She said shyly. "Your not, wait here for a second I'll be right back." Alice said and jumped from the car as soon as I stopped at school. "Thank you, Edward." She said as I watched Alice's disappearing figure through the rain. "No problem, maybe your mother wants to check out her car." Angela nodded and was still shivering lightly. I felt so sorry for her I climbed into the back seat and threw my arm around her hoping my body heat would help her warm-up faster. She looked at me surprised, "You don't have to do this you know." She said but didn't shake my arm from her shoulders. "Nonsense, what are friends for?"
Just then Alice slid into the passenger seat and threw a bag at Angela. "I got your gym tracksuit for you and permission for you to wear it during school. You can keep Edward's jacket and that should keep you pretty warm during the day. We'll give you a lift home after school." Alice rambled and I grabbed Edward's school bag and left the car to give her some privacy to change. I made it to class just in time before the finale warning bell rang. Angela joined the class ten minutes later and everyone's eye's widened when they recognized the jacket she was wearing. I was just glad to see that she wasn't shaking anymore. She handed the teacher a note and took her seat, she smiled at me when she caught my eye and I couldn't help but return the smile.
We didn't make eye contact after that and until third period I didn't give the morning events another thought. I have just taken my seat in Edward's Spanish class, which I coincidently shared with my brother, when Ben walked up to me. "Edward what is up with you and my girlfriend?" He asked accusingly and after glancing towards Emmett who was all ears, I looked back at him. "Relax Ben, I just gave her a ride to school, her sweater was soaked through and she was shaking so I gave her my jacket to wear." I said and glanced around him to see what was keeping the teacher so busy; I didn't have time to deal with jealous boyfriends. "We'll the way she smiled at you in English didn't look like nothing to me." He said stepping in front of my line of sight demanding my attention.
"It was just a friendly smile Ben, if you don't like it talk to Angela about it." Ben glared at me, "Plus Edward already has his eyes set on someone else in anyway Ben, so if he says he isn't interested in her you can believe him." Emmett said and Ben turned his attention towards him. "I'm not talking to you Philistine, are you implying that Angela isn't good enough for him?" Emmett rose from his seat slowly and both of his fists were clenched together. I knew my brother well enough to know when he was severely ticked of. "Now listen here shorty, you better watch who you're mouthing to." Ben didn't back down and was now balling his fists as well. I stood up and stepped between the two of them.
"Calm down guys....." "You think just because you are so big and muscular everyone should be afraid of you but let me tell you something, your tuff guy routine doesn't scare me at all." Ben taunted Emmett; I had my hands full as I tried to keep Emmett from beating Ben to a pulp. "Let go Edward, I'll teach this pipsqueak a lesson or two." He grunted, his arms grasping for Ben. "Let it go Emmett, he's not worth it." I said straining hard against him he stopped fighting against me and just as I turned back to face Ben, his fist collided with my nose as he tried to hit Emmett with a cheep shot. I saw stars and tears began mixing with the blood on my face, obscuring my vision. All hell broke loose, students began screaming, I could here someone being pushed against a desk and then everything went silent when someone blew on a whistle loudly.
I still couldn't see very clearly but the little I could make out was not very good. "El Sr. Cullen por qué es que cuando algo sucede en esta escuela a la que se aparte de ella?" Mr. Cullen why is it that when something happens in this school you are apart of it? The Spanish teacher asked. "Bueno, el tiempo que otras veces era realmente mala, pero esta vez estoy realmente inocentes y toda la clase puede responder por mí en esto." Well the other times it was really just bad timing, but this time I really am innocent and the whole class can vouch for me on that. I saw somebody nod their head and the teacher moved her attention to the other two. "Ustedes dos van a la oficina del director y el Sr. Cullen búscate limpiar en la oficina de la enfermera." You two go to the headmaster's office and Mr. Cullen go get yourself cleaned up in the nurse's office.
I followed the other two out of the classroom. They walked as far from each other as possible and at the main building I left them and entered the nurse's office. "Edward my dear boy, what happened to you?" The nurse asked blushing for some reason. "Do you want the long or the short story?" I asked sitting on the bed as she strapped on some surgical gloves. "The short one, hold still this might be sore." She said and began wiping away the blood from my tender nose. "I walked into a door." I said and she smiled half heartedly. "I won't say I haven't heard that one before, so what is the long story?" She asked feeling know if my nose was broken. "The door was small and hits harder than I expected."
I said and this time she managed to chuckle. "Yes the big ones are all muscle but the smaller ones are slippery little suckers." I nodded and after she declared that I was all better headed back to the Spanish class for the last twenty minutes of the lesson. Emmett and Ben arrived back just before the bell rang. "So what did the ass with the toupee have to say?" I asked referring to our very famous headmaster. "He just gave us detention after a very long speech about how we should actually solve our differences." He said packing up his books. "And you think the fight was totally worth it don't you?" I joked while we made our way out of the classroom heading for the cafeteria. "Hell yes, he has a black eye and a sore jaw. Plus I skipped Spanish; an hour's detention is nothing."
I wondered if Emmett would ever grow up as we began to load food on our trays. Edward looked up when we sat down and frowned, "Why are you always covered in blood?" He asked and I looked down at my shirt and spotted blood on my collar as Rose began to fuss about Emmett, "Why were you in a fight, again? You know I don't like it when you fight, you could have gotten hurt? Did you get hurt? You better not develop a black eye; prom is only two weeks away." I shook my head, how does Emmett put up with that. I turned to face Edward, "I'm just being a man Bella and apparently blood comes with that package." I said watching Emmett calm Rosalie down.
Lauren walked up to the table suddenly and stopped next to my chair, "I don't know if you guy's know about Jessica's party tonight but your all invited." She said this without taking her eyes of me. Was she Edwards dream girl? Alice assured her that all of us would be there. "Edward I heard you were in a fight, I just love a man who can defend himself." She said placing her freshly manicured hand on my shoulder. Would those hands be all over Edward when he kisses her for the first time? Jealousy boiled inside of me suddenly controlling every thought in my head, "Where did you hear that Lauren or did you stick your four thousand dollar nose in other people's business again?"
I asked sweetly and she clasped her hand over her nose. "I fell of my horse last month and like… damaged my nose ok." She said glaring at me. "Oh wow did your horse realize you both had the same face." The others around the table began to laugh and Lauren stuck her four thousand dollar nose in the air and walked away with her hips swinging. "Was that really necessary?" Alice asked. "Maybe not Alice but it sure was funny." I said and took a bite of my apple. "It wasn't really that funny." Alice said glancing towards were Lauren was sitting. "Well they laughed like hell." I said but Alice didn't reply and we spent the rest of lunch hour making small talk.
After Lunch Edward and I made our way to the Biology class. "So do you want to tell me why Angela is wearing my jacket?" he asked as we entered the class. "Her sweater was wet so I borrowed your jacket to her, jeez I was only trying to be the Good Samaritan and now everyone is in my face about it." I said getting tired of having to explain myself the whole time. "Chill Bells I was only asking." he said and flopped down on the chair at our lab table. "Are you afraid the girl you like will get the wrong impression?" I asked taking out the necessary books. "No, that is the last thing I'm worried about. Why do you ask?" I shrugged and got spared a reply when the teacher walked in beginning his class. We didn't have time to talk through the class.
"Are you going to Jessica's party?" He asked at the end of class, "Yeah Alice needs an escort and since I have to go you are coming along to suffer with me." We were interrupted when Angela walked up to me. "Thanks for the jacket Edward; I'll have to take a rain check on that lift. Ben is insisting on driving me home himself. I'm so sorry about the incident in Spanish, Ben isn't usually like this." I took the jacket from her. "It's ok and you're more than welcome." I was actually surprised that Ben didn't insist she take the thing of and wear his instead. She said goodbye and headed for Ben's truck. "See Edward she wasn't going to steal your precious jacket." I said but he just ignored me. He was watching Angela walk away.
I had to shove his shoulder to make him move again. "Stop daydreaming Edward and walk, we still have to practice piano and do some reciting before the party tonight." He shook his head making my long hair move in waves and walked in the direction of our cars. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the piano, were Edward learned poems while I played the piano. He would pause, every now and then, to correct a note for me, the false note was his fault in anyway because I was mesmerized with the way he recited the poem. I kept on imagining that he was really reciting the poem to me with his own voice and not my one and that was when I usually played the wrong note.
We called it a day around five to get ready for the party. I had to wait for Alice to finish before we finally could go. Edward got a lift with Emmett and Rose and was already at the party. When Alice and I arrived at the party music was pumping out of the front door, boys and girls were dancing together on the small dance floor. Alice grabbed my hand, "Dance with me Edward!" She shouted as Hot and Cold by Katy Perry began to play. I shook my head in protest but found myself immerged by dancing body's and my only option was to dance or be pummeled by thirty moving body's. By the end of the song I was covered in at least seven different people's sweat and had to fight of four girls who wanted to grind their bodies against me.
I escaped the dance floor before Alice could grab me again and walked over to the beer stand. I was so exhausted by the dancing that I downed a beer. Picking up another I scanned through the students for Edward spotted Rose and made my way over to her. "Have you seen Bella?" I screamed in her ear. She shook her head, I moved through the people looking for him refilling my beer with another. I spotted some stairs and replacing my empty bear cup with another full one walked up the stairs. I finally found Edward waiting in line to use the bathroom. "Finally, do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you?" I asked swaying lightly and as I tried to keep my balance I didn't hear how the words I just said slurred out of my mouth.
"Uhm, how many of those did you drink already." He asked eyeing the cup in my hand. "Only a few, I've never had these before they are kind of nice." I said leaning against the wall for stability. "Well I think you had enough, wait here I'm just going to be a sec." He walked into the bathroom and I drank the last of my beer. Wanting some more I walked back down stairs and grabbed another from the stand. "Ok that is enough come on; I think you need some fresh air." Edward said behind me and tried to take the cup from me. I wouldn't let him so not wanting to make a scene; he let me keep the cup and grabbed my hand to lead me outside. "Sit here and cool of Bella." He said and pointed to the bench in front of me.
I fell onto it sloshing some beer on me in the process. "Great Bella now you're going to smell like a drunk, what has gotten into you?" He asked standing in front of me. "I don't know…. do you know that you really look pretty." I said and stood up only to loose my balance and land face first against his chest. "Ok that is it; I'm taking you home young lady." Edward said trying to push me back up. "No I like it here." I said from in between his breasts. Well actually they are mine and not his so if I wanted to rest my head against them I was allowed to, right?
"Bella stop it, come on, the Volvo is over there." I stood up and looked at him, or the three of him. Why was he moving so much? "Edward I love you man, I will always love you and you really smell nice." I said in a slur of words to the Edward on the left. "That's really nice Bella, now come on." He tried to pull me by the hand to the car. "You don't understand I love you Edward." I pulled him back so that he faced me, grabbed the middle Edward around the neck and pulled him closer towards me. Before he could protest I closed the distance between us and kissed him.
A/n I am currently high on pain medicine since I almost broke my ankle at a netball match a couple of days ago. Luckily it's only a very bad sprain and I should be back to normal in about a week or two. So if this chapter seems weird in anyway blame it on the happy pills.
