A/N: Back to Bella!

And, just to clarify, the snip-pits from Edward are emails he's sent to Bella, but she never checks her emails, so she hasn't got them...yet! :P

Bella:

3rd April 2006

The day after my spending all night working on Edward's half of the project, Edward handed me a pile of papers. Which, once read, I found was the essay we were meant to write about our project. Edward had even wrote my half, and it was pretty good. I was slightly less mad at him, but I didn't understand why he didn't just do this all in the first place.

Today, though, is the day we have to do our presentation. We have a small powerpoint, and then our models to show. I really hope it goes well, but I'm not sure what Edward will be like. He'll either be really good, or really awful.

"Bella Swan and Edward Masen." Mr Banner, our biology teacher, called out. I picked up the models (notice Edward didn't offer to help) and walked to the front.

"Our topic to do was reproduction, and this is what we've done for it. And not each other." Edward said confidently. We talked through the powerpoint, taking it in turns to say the slide, and then we showed our models.

"To give a clearer view of the reproductive system, we have made models of the human body, both male and female." I said, in what I hoped was a confident voice. I showed the female body first, and talked through it, and then did the same for the male body. It was slightly embarrassing, but I don't think anyone apart from Edward noticed my faint blush.

When we finished, everyone clapped loudly, and I was happy with that.

"Right, now that everyone has shown their presentations, it's time to vote for whose presentation was the best. Now, of course, you are not allowed to vote for your own." Mr Banner said, as he handed us slips of paper to write out whosever we thought was the best. We handed back in our slips to Mr Banner for him to count. I was pretty sure we hadn't won, but in a way I hoped we did.

"And the winners are….Bella Swan and Edward Masen!" Mr Banner shouted out. I was shocked, and embarrassed, so my face instantly heated up. We had to go and stand at the front, and Mr Banner gave us each a prize of a chocolate bar. I quietly thanked him, and then quickly sat back down, trying to hide my blush.

"Thanks." Edward whispered to me.

"For what?" I asked, genuinely confused.

"For making us win. If it wasn't for you, there is no way in hell we would have won." Edward said.

"Oh, uh, ok then. But, you were good at presenting." I told him, and before he could reply, the bell rang.

Then, I headed to the hell that was gym. Seriously, why should people be made to do gym? I mean, what does it achieve? Exactly, nothing. At least I had Angela in this class.

"Hey Bella!" Angela said; waving once she saw me.

"Hey Ange! Guess what, me and Edward won the presentation!" I told her excitedly.

"Seriously? That's awesome!" Angela said as we went into the changing room. Today we were going to be doing volleyball, so I just stayed at the back, out of the way. It was much easier that way, because then there was a much lower risk of me or anyone else getting injured.

Gym is so unbelievably boring, especially when everyone bar one hates you. I still don't really understand why, I mean, I've never done anything to them.

"Come on, Bella, we can get changed now." Angela said to me. Hallelujah.

I got changed as fast as possible, said goodbye to Angela, and then jumped into my rusty red Chevy. When I got home, I noticed an unusual car out front, and dad waiting for me on the porch.

"I got a surprise for you, Bells." Dad said.

"You know I hate surprises, so I must have been a surprise for you, too." I said.

"You know me too well, you know." Dad said, avoiding the subject.

"What's the surprise?" I asked him.

"Your…uh…mother is here. Said something about you ignoring her calls and emails." Dad told me, and I groaned loudly. How dare she only show up when it suits her?

"Well, I have nothing to say to her." I said firmly.

"I know, honey, and I told her that, but she's not taking no for an answer." Dad explained.

"Ok, how about I just ignore her?" I said, only half joking.

Me and dad walked in, and I tried to just walk past her, but she stopped me.

"You're not ignoring me anymore, young lady." My mother said in a tone that I think was meant to be firm.

"Ok, but I have a lot of homework to do, so…" I trailed off, but she still wouldn't let me through.

"Why have you been ignoring my calls and emails?" My mother asked.

"Why do you think?" I replied.

"Because you are selfish and immature, wouldn't you agree, Charlie?" My mother said, and that made me really angry and sad.

"No, actually, she is the most selfless person I've ever met, and extremely mature for someone who's only 17. I always question if that is her correct age, so don't you dare ever be so cruel to my daughter." Dad said, and I smiled when he said 'my' not 'our' daughter.

"Don't you mean our daughter?" My mother said.

"No, he meant his daughter. You know, you were actually a good mother before Phil came along. And no, I'm not blaming you for what Phil did, but I do think it's disgusting how you remain by his side through all of this. How could you do that?" I shouted, before running off to my bedroom in tears.

I laid on my bed, still crying, and tried to block out the shouting going on downstairs. After a while, I heard a car driving away, which I presumed was my mother's car. There was a gentle knocking on my door, and my dad slowly walked in.

"I'm really sorry about that. If I knew she would be that…cruel…I would have turned her away earlier. I didn't realise how bad things were, and I agree with you. It's disgusting she is sticking by that monsters side." Dad said while giving me a hug.

"Thank you, for everything. It means a lot." I said honestly. It really did, he was such a great father, I wish I'd lived with him all my life.

"It's what I'm here for. So, wanna go to the dinner for tea?" Dad asked.

"Of course!"
