Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters!! As we are all aware everything Twilight belongs to the astonishingly talented Stephenie Meyer.
Author's Note: Ok I know it has been a while since I last updated but honestly it is getting so hard to even squeeze in some writing time! I'm just going to have a small rant right here; I mean why does high school have to be so hard?? Do they have to give us so much homework?? They just enjoy making our lives miserable, don't they?? Ok sorry about that but I really needed to let that out! So yeah, read on and make sure you review! Thx!
Edward pushed the door to the portable open cautiously, his eyes alert. I too, waited anxiously, my ears straining for some hint of the attack that would never come. We crept in silently, our hands linked together.
"I want you all to pair off-" The man broke off suddenly, as the heater blew our scent in his direction. I watched apprehensively as his back stiffened and his head snapped up. My body tense automatically, while I struggled to remain silent, clamping my lips together to keep the instinctive warning snarl from erupting as he pivoted slowly on the spot, turning to face us.
Edward cleared his throat, and bowed his head, the perfect image of a remorseful, innocent student.
"I am sorry sir, but we got lost. I am Edward Cullen and this is Bella Swan." Edward explained keeping his tone light and apologetic. He smiled his perfect angel's smile, his whole face lighting up. I resisted the urge to throw something-or someone- as collective gasps and slight swooning noises circled the room. I gritted my teeth together as I listened to the frantic rhythm of the hormonal teenage girl's hearts.
"Of course," replied the other vampire, his smooth voice distracting me. He forced a calm and serene expression, although his light topaz eyes remained wary. "I know how confusing a new school can be. Please call me Mr. Conti. You may take the empty table in the back." He continued cautiously, nodding his head towards the sole vacant table in the room. I walked slowly behind Edward as we wound our way around through the clutter of tables and chairs. The room was small, even for a classroom. Tables were scattered randomly across the room, each with two plastic chairs, facing the lone blackboard. The teacher's tiny desk was crammed into the far corner, papers overwhelming the surface, and small boxes of folders littered about the surrounding floor. I focused my attention on the table the farthest from the door, as I concentrated on maintaining a slow, weary tread, trying to illustrate the persona of a nervous, tired new student. I studiously ignored the awed stares and hushed whispers directed at my husband. I clamped my jaw shut, locking my lips, as I ground my teeth together fervently. Despite my best efforts I still managed to hear small parts of conversation as we eased our way through a giggling group of girls.
"Do you think he is a virgin?" One girl whispered dreamily to her friend.
"I doubt it! But if he is, he won't be when I am done with him!" Her friend muttered back boldly. Unable to contain myself any longer, I glanced up. I assumed the one who had talked was the confident-looking blonde girl. Her bright pink lips curved upwards as she smiled invitingly at Edward, puffing her chest out ever so slightly, increasing the strain of her already too tight T-shirt as it stretched even further across her enormous chest. Edward continued to walk past their group, staring straight ahead, his eyes focused solely on our table. Only I noticed him flinch, as he obviously heard whatever thought that girl and most likely many others were currently entertaining. Smirking, I glanced over at the daring girl, stifling a laugh as her encouraging smile slid off her pale face, her eyes zooming in on our interlinked hands. I laughed slightly under my breath, reminiscing in an old, foggy, human memory. Edward's lips pressed against my ear, his cold breath tickling my face.
"I prefer brunettes." He whispered.
I smiled again relishing in the fact that neither she, nor anyone else could ever have him. He was mine! However as we finally reached our table, I looked back to see her studying her bright pink binder, wearing a calculating expression. Sighing quietly, I sat down, carefully placing my books on the table, as I retained the illusion of a human. Apparently she hadn't quite given up, yet.
"Alright class settle down please," Mr. Conti's calm voice interrupted my thoughts, "Today we are going to review our lab reports from last class. Please open your books to page 154."
I sighed resignedly, flipping my book open to the correct page, skimming the title of the chapter. I rested my chin on the hand not entwined with Edward's,as I groaned internally. I could already tell that this was going to be an extremely long class.
I
