BPOV

Alice shoved me into the limo and told the driver to step on it.

"I can't believe you were kissing Edw-"

"Shut up," I interrupted her.

"She kissed Edward?" Rosalie asked.

"YES!" Alice shrieked.

"Aw, her first kiss! And I think it was his, too!" Rose said.

They both whisper screamed and giggled.

"I bet you didn't factor in a guy when you came up with your stupid little identity plan, huh?" I asked Alice. "He may never know it was me now, so we should just get over it."

"Bella, he'll figure it out. If he doesn't by Wednesday, you can just tell him."

"You're forgetting about one small part. EVERY OTHER GIRL IN SCHOOL WILL BE SAYING THE SAME THING!" Despite me giving my reassurances to Edward, I wasn't feeling too positive about him finding out who I am.

"Maybe, but not every other girl is best friends with us," Rose said.

"Especially not…" Alice seemed to be at a loss for words.

"Nerd? Geek? Loser? Creep? Take your pick," I grumbled.

Alice frowned. "I wasn't going to say it like that."

"But it's still true," I whispered, although they didn't hear.

"Bella we are here! Run!" Alice suddenly yelled.

11:59! Shoot! If I am home 3 seconds late, my dad is going to freak.

I raced to the front door and opened it. "Dad, I'm home!" I yelled.

Not a moment too soon. He already had the phone in his hand.

"Oh, hey, Bells. You look pretty," he said.

"Thanks. I'm going to go to my room." I ran upstairs and collapsed against the door as soon as it was closed. I panted, catching my breath, then changed out of the dress and put in a bag before hanging it in my closet. I threw on some pajamas and laid down in bed. I pulled the flowers and ribbons out of my hair and put it in a regular ponytail.

After I washed my face, I put on a CD of Debussy and drifted to sleep, dreaming of Edward.

BPOV Monday Morning

I hoped that Edward would figure out who I was today, put I wasn't going to go out of my way to attempt to look better. I just put on jeans, a black tank top, and a brown button up cardigan over it. I threw my hair in a high ponytail and brushed my teeth.

After I finished getting ready, I ran downstairs and ate a granola bar.

The ride to school is relatively short, only about fifteen minutes.

I almost threw up when I got to the school parking lot. Just as I had predicted, the entire cheerleading squad was draped over Edward. Probably trying to be me.

"Um, Bella, do you have any idea why the cheerleaders are doing that to Edward?" Angela asked when I got out of my truck.

"Uh, yeah. It's because of me. You remember how Alice was making me go to the ball?" I began to explain.

"Oh my God! You are the fairytale princess that arrived with Alice and Rose! Then you and Edward Cullen went for a walk. So what happened? I still don't get why the cheerleaders are like that.

"Well, Edward and I danced and then we kissed. But I couldn't tell him who I was. So all of the cheerleaders are trying to say that they were me," I finished.

"I'm so sorry!"

"Why? He knows all about me, I told him not to believe the cheerleaders, and he knows my initials."

"Oh, that's true."

I laughed. "Come on, I can't take another second of this torture. Let's get to English."

"Agreed." We walked to our first class together.

We both took our seats and talked for a bit, but then we saw Edward walk in—with three cheerleaders drooling behind him. I pressed my lips together to suppress my smile, but failed miserably.

"Glad you could join us, Mr. Cullen," our teacher said, annoyed.

Edward to his seat quickly, looking rather flushed.

English passed slowly, but when we began talking about Shakespeare, I straightened up and listened.

"Now in the beginning of this play when the two deaths are being discussed, what does Helena say? Miss Swan?"

"Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven."

Everyone looked at me.

"Has no one met someone that can quote Shakespeare?" I asked in an exasperated tone.

"Um, no," most of them said, but Edward was just looking at me with a speculative face.

I scooted lower in my chair, trying to hide myself from the attention. I started to blush.

Edward's eyes widened. What?

Realization struck, He's heard my voice and he saw me blush at the ball because of the spotlight. He is going to figure this out before day's end.

Everyone turned back and began to listen to the teacher again, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
