This is Bella's POV of Monday

Bella's POV

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I woke up suddenly and jumped out of bed. Before Edward left last night he promised to pick me up from school. Edward was picking ME up for school. I got dressed in a hurry, and brushed my hair before I flew downstairs and quickly ate some cereal. I glanced at my watch; Edward would be here in ten minutes. What was I supposed to do for the next ten minutes? I couldn't come up with anything so I remained sitting and jiggled my leg and planned my opening line

Hey

Hi

Nice day isn't it

Thanks for picking me up

HONK HONK- Edward was here. I grabbed my bag and strolled to the car, trying to appear casual, I jumped in his car and Edward threw me one of my favorite wonky smiles.

"Hi" I stuttered, "Thanks for picking me up." Edward lent over and gave me a quick kiss on the forehead before starting to back out of my driveway,

"Don't be silly, you're my girlfriend, I'll pick you up everyday if you want"

"Okay" I agreed a little too fast. Edward laughed a little and speed towards school. I wasn't even going to try to make him drive slow today, yesterday I had learned that that was a fruitless task.

We got to school far too quickly and since we didn't have biology until after lunch we went our separate ways.

I sat through English in my own little world, I had read Wuthering Heights so many times that I could recite huge chunks off by heart so there was no danger of me missing anything. I thought instead of Edward, his bronze hair and sparkling eyes, the way when he kisses me he holds me so carefully yet with so much strength and self-assurance…

"Hey Bella" hissed Eric, leaning over to me, interrupting my chain of thought.

"Yeah Eric?"

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me this Friday?

"Sorry Eric but I'm already going to the dance with Edward, my boyfriend"

"Are you and Cullen dating?" Duh Eric, what was I supposed to say, No we are not, even though we're always kissing and I just said he was my boyfriend'?

"Yes Eric we are"

"Oh, maybe when you break up then" My mouth literally fell open and I choked back a laugh I couldn't wait to tell everyone about this.

(They're all at lunch now)

"And then" I paused, "he goes 'Oh, maybe when you break up then' and I'm like about to fall off my chair laughing" I finished recounting my story. Alice and Rosalie and I had all lapsed in to fits of giggles and Emmett and Jasper were shaking with laughter, these reactions I had expected, it was Edwards that surprised me. His mouth was a thinly set line and he looked furious. I stared at him surprised, "your not actually jealous are you Edward?" I asked.

"No I just really want to rip off Eric Yorkie's head"

"Yeah because if you don't I will definitely find myself actually wanting to date him" I replied dryly before leaning over and kissing Edwards cheek, "Don't blame Eric for my irresistibleness" I joked.

"I don't" he replied, finally cracking the smile I love so much and kissing me on the cheek, before moving to kiss my mouth, I leaned in… and then we heard the distinct sound of four people all clearing their throats at the same time. Edward and I pulled away.

"Sorry" I said, not sorry at all.

"Anyway" said Alice "after the dance on Saturday everyone is going to sleep over at Edwards" she announced.

"Why Edwards?" asked Edward

"Because your house is the biggest, duh"

"Okay, I'll check with my parents but that should be fine"

"We can all camp out in the living room and watch movies, its going to be so much fun!" exclaimed Alice. I wonder how I am going to convince Charlie to let me have a sleepover at my boyfriend's house, even though everyone would be there and he had liked Edward I didn't think there was a big chance he would say yes.

Then I came up with the answer, Alice. Charlie had met her briefly after our shopping trip but she had him wrapped around her little finger, it seems he is especially susceptible to Alice's charm, I was sure that if she unleashed her full powers and her puppy dog eyes she could convince him to let me go.

"Alice I'm going to need you to come with me when I ask my dad if I can go to Edward's"

"Why?" Alice asked

"Alice my dads going to need convincing that if I go I will not just be doing it with Edward" here Edward blushed, "and as the organizer of the sleepover I think you are best suited to do that convincing."

Alice let out a little trill of laughter and said "No problem Bella, I'll go home with you when Edward drops you off and do my best to convince him"

"If you do your puppy dog eyes again then you'll be able to convince him that Emmett is a world class ballerina" everyone laughed before I continued, "seriously he is like putty in your hands, when you left my house he was all 'that Alice is a lovely girl, I'm glad you've got such good friends'"

"Then I'm your girl Bella"

The bell rang- yes- I have biology. The others all went off to their separate classes and I grabbed Edward's hand and dragged him to class. He laughed and ran with me. Due to my eagerness we were the only ones in the lab, and the lights were off.

"Why were we in such a hurry Bella?" asked Edward.

"No reason"

"You are so absurd, did you know that?" said Edward, bending down to kiss me, his lips slowly grazing mine, I felt his tongue run along my bottom lip and I opened my mouth, anticipating the taste of him… and then the light flickered on and Mr. Banner cleared his throat, unimpressed. Behind him a few students were standing, mouths open. Unfortunately Lauren was one of those students, she gave me the biggest death stare ever and mouthed 'slut'. Edward saw this and tightened his grip on my waist, glaring at Lauren. Then Mr. Banner spoke

"Miss Swan, Mr. Cullen if you could please restrain yourself until after class"

"Sorry sir" Edward and I said together, hanging our heads, I was at this point bright red. We took our seats and started to listen to Mr. Banners lecture on the cellular anatomy of onion root. We had both done this lab before so we started to pass notes:

Hey Bella

Hey Edward

How boring is this

So boring

How embarrassing was it when Mr. Banner caught us

I know, I don't think I've ever been more embarrassed

Yeah, and I really wish he hadn't interrupted

Me too

I'm having a difficult time obeying him

Huh?

Restraining myself- you're making it very difficult

Sorry

Don't be sorry

Okay

"SWAN, CULLEN, DETENTION THIS AFTERNOON" yelled Mr. Banner, banging his ruler on our desk.

Crap

Damn

We should probably stop passing notes now, or we might get detentions for the rest of the week

Probably

Bye Bella

Bye Edward

I tried to refocus on Mr. Banners lecture, but Edward wasn't making things easy for me. He had taken my hand under the table and was tracing patterns on it, his feather light touch making it very difficult to concentrate. So I decided to get him back, I slipped my ballet shoes off and started running my foot up and down his leg. The minute I started Edward stopped breathing, I kept sliding my foot up-down, up-down "Oh God Bella are you trying to murder me" Edward moaned softly. I smirked, mission accomplished. I put my shoes back on.

I finished gym- insert involuntary shudder here- and waited outside Edward's class for him. He walked out chatting to Jasper and Emmett intently and didn't spot me. So I tiptoed behind him-careful not to trip- and slipped my hands over his eyes.

"Guess who" I trilled. Edward laughed

"Hmmm… Is it an angel?"

"Nope" I trilled. Edward spun around, catching me in his arms,

"Liar" he growled lowly kissing me softly. That wasn't enough for me and I parted my lips, willing him to deepen the kiss.

"Um hello" yelled Emmett pulling us apart -literally- "Not all of us want to look at that" I whipped my head around, not only did Jasper look like he was going to puke but Lauren was glaring at me again and Eric was glaring at Edward.

"Its not our fault we had some unfinished business from biology" said Edward, throwing a quick grin at me. Emmett opened his mouth to request more information before shutting it,

"You know what, I don't even want to know".

"Ready to go to detention Bella?" asked Edward

"Yep, just let me call Alice, thank goodness Dad is working late at the station today so he need never know about our detention" I replied, pulling out my phone, I dialed Alice's number, "Hey Alice" I said when she picked up.

"Hey Bella"

"Change of plans, me and Edward got a detention"

"Why?" she asked, I thought back to Emmett and Jaspers reaction to our kiss before replying,

"You don't really want to know"

"Oh my god were you guys having sex on the lab benches?" WHAT, how could Alice think that, we had only been dating for a week, I mean I guess we are a pretty close couple but still what did she think I was, a slut?

"WHAT"

"Just a joke, jeez Bella." thank goodness.

"Anyway do you think you could go home with Jasper and come with me to tell Charlie tomorrow?"

"Sure" she replied before continuing, "Hey, what are you going to tell your dad when you come home late?"

"Well he actually works late on Mondays, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Lucky you, I remember when I got a detention for passing notes with Jasper my dad took away my credit cards for two weeks." I laughed before replying,

"Sucked in"

"Bella, you can't tell but I'm sticking my tongue out at you." said Alice sulking. I was about to laugh at her again when Edward captured my attention and tapped his wrist

"Sorry Alice, must go, I'm afraid detention calls." I shut my cell phone and turned to Edward "I'm ready for detention now.". Edward smiled and slung his arm around my shoulders, steering me in the direction of the room we would be having detention in. I followed blindly, having no idea where we were going. We got to a room near the janitors closet before Edward stopped

"Get ready for the most boring hour of our lives, seriously we aren't allowed to do anything, so you basically have to pick a spot on the wall and stare at it." he said grimly

"Aww sweetie, I'm getting ready for an hour of staring at you, it shouldn't be that boring." I said in my cutesy voice. Instead of pretending to vomit like any normal boy would Edward smiled at me,

"Well pumpkin, babe I'll be staring at you too." I laughed out loud, that man beat me at my own game.

"Come on Edward we have to go or we'll be late for detention."

"Yeah, I would hate to miss a minute of being detained." Edward grumbled under his breath. I swung around and stuck out my tongue before pushing the door open and walking inside.

It was completely silent as Edward and I walked up to the teacher in charge and handed her our detention slips. She took them and signed hastily before pointing us to the two tables in the middle of the room. The class was filled with a whole range of students; some dropkicks you could tell spent half their lives in here, some dumb blonds chewing gum and twirling their hair while they eyed Edward, a nerd who looked completely stricken to even be here and I could go on. I looked up and realized that the teacher was now completely absorbed in her crossword, I looked around and noticed that others had realized this too, the dropkicks had started writing on the table, the blonds doing each others hair, and the nerd getting an early start on his homework. I saw Edward pull out a piece of paper and neatly writing something on it before sliding it over to me. I unfolded the paper and read:

Hey babe, I guess we got lucky and got the teacher who couldn't care less what we're doing as long as we don't disrupt her from her puzzle

I guess we did I scrawled back before passing the paper back:

In light of that I suggest we play a little game

A silent game?

Yes

What kind of game did you have in mind?

Hmmm… how about 20 questions, but written down

Sounds good, but I think last time we played we pretty much asked all the questions you can

Nope, I can still think of some

Okay then smarty-pants you can go first

Okay, Bella what is your favorite kind of fruit?

What a weird question… mango. What about you?

Strawberries, Why do you like mango?

I don't know it tastes good. Why do you like strawberries?

Because you smell like strawberries so they remind me of you, what is your favorite thing about Forks?

Stalker Alert (jokes), my favorite thing about Forks would have to be you! What is your middle name?

I'm glad you like me so much; my middle name is Antony, what's yours

Marie, and I don't 'like you so much' I just hate Forks (joking again 8D), Dogs or Cats?

I'm very glad you're joking, definitely Cats, dogs smell so bad, you?

Dogs for sure, cats are so stuck up.

I was pondering what my next question would be, we'd asked most of them last time we played when the reply when the teacher stood up and announced "Its time to go now", upon this announcement everyone instantly stood up and rushed out of the room.

"I can't believe that its only been a week since I came to Forks" I mused as we walked out of detention, "so much has happened already".

"I know" replied Edward, "On one hand I feel like I've been with you forever, and on the other whenever you're around time goes by so fast"

"Mmm"

"Come on, let's get you home before Charlie finds out about detention" said Edward, glancing at his watch.

"If you're driving I don't think we have anything to worry about", with that Edward threw back his head and laughed,

"That's true", he admitted as we walked towards his Volvo. Edward walked around to the passenger seat and opened the door for me. I climbed in, trying, this time successfully, not to trip. As I had predicted we got to my house in record time, I glanced at my watch,

"You know Edward, Charlie won't be home for a good half an hour, so next time you can afford to go a little slower." Edward shook his head, clearly disagreeing

"Not if I want time to do this" he said softly, leaning over to my side of the car and brushing his lips against mine. I pulled away in due course and unbuckled my seat belt, then jumped out of the car,

"Not that I don't enjoy it when you do that, but I really would appreciate it if you drove slower next time, daughter of a cop remember"

"Fine" Edward conceded, "but if it was anyone but you…"

"See you tomorrow Edward"

"Bye Bella, I'll pick you up bright and early tomorrow"

I hope you like this chapter, next chapter: the dance
