A/N: So sorry it took me awhile to get this out! It's been happening a lot lately hasn't it? Well, I hate making excuses but this week is my last week of school, so finals are tomorrow and Thursday. After that I'm sure I'll have more time to update quickly.

I'm so glad Bella had a great time at her class today. I was so scared that she wouldn't be able to take it. I know I couldn't take it when I first started school after I changed. All those voices in my head...
"Hey, love?" Bella looks up at me from her book.
"Yes?"
"Did you hear anyone's thoughts today in class?"
"Nah, I blocked them out." She scrunches up her forehead. "Except when we were going to my car, I heard those guys think..." She shudders. "They're like dogs, just like every other man out there."
"Thanks, love." She freezes up and bursts out in to laughter.
"Edward, I'd never call you a dog. You're my angel and one true love for eternity." She comes up and straddles me. "I love you."
"I love you too, Bella." Her lips came crashing down on to mine and we kiss passionately until Alice decides to crash our room.
"OH MY GOD!" She runs out and Bella jumps off of me and back on to the floor where she was studying. Alice comes back in with her hands over her eyes. "Is it safe?"
"Yes Alice, it's safe."
"You guys should put like a do not disturb thing on your door knob or something."
"Maybe you should try knocking." Bella says sarcastically. Alice rolls her eyes.
"Bella, come on."
"What?"
"We're going to New York remember?"
"NOT TODAY!" Bella's face would turn red, from anger, if she was human.
"But you said-"
"I know what I said. Alice, I have a ton of homework due tomorrow. So if you don't mind..."
"Bella, you have all night! You can't sleep!" Alice whines.
"What if I wanted to spend the rest of my night with my husband? Hm? What about that?"
Alice pouts. "But you promised..."
"I didn't promise you anything." Bella crosses her arms. Alice hangs her head and sits down by the door way. Bella's face softens. "Aw, Alice..."
"I understand. You never liked shopping anyway.. It's just that, I thought you wanted to see New York City. Because you've never been to there and all..." She sniffs. Bella crawls over to Alice and wraps her arm around her.
"I'm sorry, but can't you wait until the weekend? When I have no classes the next day?"
"Bella, it was the first day of class. How much homework could you possibly have?" Bella crawls back over to where her stack of books and papers were and she pulls out a syllabus. She shows the first page to Alice, which made Alice laugh.
"Oh. My. God. I can't believe you picked the hardest class ever." Bella rolls her eyes.
"Thanks, Alice."
"I can help!" Alice exclaims and grabs a book and a pencil. I cough and she looks up at me.
"Or... you can just do this all by yourself. Whatever floats your boat. I'll be downstairs with Jazz. Call me if you need help..."
"I think she's going to be fine, Alice." I say and Alice sticks her tongue out at me.
"You are such a party-pooper, Edward Cullen." I smirk.
"But he's my party-pooper." Bella smiles and wraps her arms around my neck. Alice shakes her head and walks out of the room. She stops at the door way and turns around.
"Promise?"
"I promise, Alice, that we'll go to NYC this weekend." Alice smiles and skips out of our room, closing the door in the process. Bella looks in to my eyes and grins. "Now, where were we?"

The first week of college is great. Turns out Alexis is in all of my classes. We're going through the same classes for the majors that we want. I haven't really had the urge to drain anyone's blood. Thank God. Edward and I hunted last night so I didn't have to worry about it over the weekend while Alice is dragging me down to New York City.
"Bella! Come on, it's only going to be for a night!" Alice yells from down the stairs.
"Yeah, by the way you're making me pack it sounds like it's for a week!" I yell back trying to stuff the last articles of the clothes that Alice is making me bring in to my suitcase.
"Oh, stop whining and let's get a move on! We're already behind schedule." She sounds like she's walking up the stairs.
"Alice with you driving, we're never freaking behind schedule!"
"Whoa marry a sailor?" Alice pops her head in to my room and winks at me. I roll my eyes and zip up the suitcase. I'm so glad I have super strength now, or I wouldn't be able to carry my suitcase... at all. Alice chuckles as I give her a glare and walk down the stairs. I feel my balance shift and I know, from past experiences, I'm going to fall. I close my eyes and brace myself for the impact, but instead I land in someone's arms. I open my eyes to see Edward holding me close with his crooked grin on.
"What yourself, love." He kisses me on the nose and straightens me out. I'm still clutching my suitcase.
"Thanks, Edward. I thought I was going to crash." He laughs and helps me down the rest of the stairs. Alice chuckles behind me and I whip my head around. "You knew it didn't you?"
She winks at me and walks down the rest of the stairs so fast I couldn't freeze her. Blast. We make it down to the front of the house, Rosalie is waiting for us as well. 'It wouldn't be a girls' weekend out if we didn't bring Rose with us!' Alice told me last night. Rosalie smiles at me and grabs her bag. She's been a lot nicer to me since the change. I guess it's a good thing, right?
"Ready to go girlies?" Alice hops up and down. I work up my best smile.
"Yeah! Ready as I'll ever be." I try to match her enthusiasm, but it comes out wrong.
"Oh Bella, you'll have the funnest time ever!" I stare at her.
"The most fun time ever!" I correct her.
"Exactly. Let's go." Alice takes my corrections as more enthusiasm. I roll my eyes and Edward helps bring my bag in to the back of Alice's Porsche. Alice starts the car, and I turn to Edward to give him one last kiss before I go.
"I'll miss you love."
"I'll miss you more." I say and we kiss. He opens the door for me and I climb in to the front of Alice's car. Rosalie claims the back. She already sprawled out for the ride.
"Ready girls?" Alice turns and looks at us. Her sunglasses on the top of her head like she's a valley girl.
"Yes. Oh my God. We're so, like, totally ready." I say valley-girl like. Alice rolls her eyes. Rosalie pops up beside me, causing me to jump.
"Never. I repeat, never, do that again." We all laugh hard as Alice pulls out of the driveway. Maybe this trip might not suck after all.
