Bella's POV

The next day I drove to school, looking forward to it for the first time in months. I didn't bother trying to be late, and as I got there Edward was waiting in the car park, as I assume he usually did. When I stepped out of the car he grabbed my arm,

"Bella, wait up, I love you." To everyone else it looked like he was holding me still, but his touch was feather light, and away from everyone's stares, his thumb was stroking my skin.

"Let go of me Edward" I insisted, wrenching my arm away from his. I stormed away leaving Edward and a crowd of onlookers staring after me.

I sat through class watching the bell, anxious for lunch. Finally it came and I took my seat next to Angela, "Hey Ang" I greeted

"Hey Bella, hey, what happened with Edward at the end of lunch when you went off with him?" she asked. Perfect, now the attention of the whole table-no cafeteria- was on me as I replied

"Oh nothing, he is such a jerk! I mean he's like stalking me".

"Uh oh" whispered Jessica, as she realized that Edward was standing right behind me. Of course I wasn't surprised, it was all part of the plan, but I jumped anyway.

"Bella, how could you say that about me" he asked, sounding injured.

"Because its true" I shouted

"No, no it's NOT" he shouted back. And then I stood up, grabbed my pudding, peeled off the lid, and thrust it in his face. There was a collected gasp from the entire student body as I smeared the chocolate mousse all over his perfect features. He made a big show of wiping it off his face and stared at me, false hatred burning in his eyes.

"You bitch! You don't deserve my love." he shouted. Acting as if this wasn't all part of a plan was suddenly easy, I just imagined he was saying these things in real life and started to cry. Then I pricked my finger lightly with a pin in my pocket, I made it look as if I was going to wipe my tears away, when actually I was trying to smell the blood. I caught a whiff of the rusty sent and promptly passed out.

I came back to consciousness fairly quickly and I could feel Edward holding my hand, I gave it a squeeze as a signal that I was conscious, but I kept my eyes shut, and Edward kept trying to 'wake me up'

"She must have hit her head really hard, she should be awake by now" he said, before continuing, "Bella, wake up, wake up"…"Bella, be okay, be okay" he was chanting, rocking me back and forth. Everyone was crowding around, but as we had predicted standing far enough away that they couldn't see the rise and fall of my chest. I felt Edward check my pulse, "Oh my god, there's no pulse, she's dead" he cried. He continued, "No Bella, you can't die, I love you, I'm so sorry" and he bent down and gave my 'dead' body one 'last' kiss. I gasped a loud breath and wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him passionately back. I could vaguely hear everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but I was a little preoccupied. "Thank god Bella," said Edward when he finally pulled away, "I was so scared, I love you, I'm never letting you go"

"You better not, cause it turns out I can't live without you" I said grinning at my little joke, "What happened?"

"After I yelled at you, you fainted and you must have hit your head really hard or something." Edward 'explained'.

"It's a miracle!" exclaimed the nurse, rushing to examine me. "You don't even seem to have a concussion dear." I smiled, feeling a little guilty about deceiving her as I said,

"I guess I got lucky." Edward picked me up, and everyone instantly surrounded us, they were all shooting questions at us,

"Bella, are you okay?"
"Do you believe in God?"
"Are you two together again?"
"Did he really have to bring you back to life for you to forgive him?"

I laughed; from the sounds of things the rest of Forks High School was as invested in our relationship as we were. What were we, the protagonists in a story? Only in a small town would everyone care so much. I figured I better answer their questions,

"I'm fine, me and Edward are definitely together again, the jury's out on the God thing and yes, he did have to bring me back to life for me to forgive him." Edward gave a small laugh and kissed me on the cheek.

After the nurse had given me a full examination, we had convinced her I didn't need to go to the hospital and she had said I could stay at school we still had about fifteen minutes before the end of recess, so Edward led me over to our table. I mouthed a thank you to Angela and followed him. As soon as our group had sat down Emmett started laughing, "Well that was all a little melodramatic wasn't it" he remarked,

" I know, it was so surreal, like something out of a movie" agreed Rosalie.

"Actually guys," said Edward sheepishly, "That whole thing was an elaborate prank."

"WHAT!" they all yelled simultaneously. The look on their faces was exactly what I had been hoping for, and it was so worth being the center of attention for a while. Everyone's gaze turned back to us, and we waited until they looked away before I continued

"Umm yeah, see, Edward and I got back together yesterday, and we thought we'd make it a little more interesting." They all looked shocked for a while, and then Emmett leaned over the table, slapping high fives at Edward and me,

"Nice one guys, Bella, I didn't know you had it in you." Everyone else looked decidedly less amused

"Bella, I can't believe you did that!" said Rosalie, "I expect this from the boys but you should know better. You almost gave us all a heart attack!"

"Sorry Rosalie" I said, hanging my head.

"Rosalie's right" said Alice, "and to punish you, this weekend we are going on a four hour long shopping trip."

"Noooooooo" I moaned

"Four hours is the minimum and Edward can't come."

I hope you didn't think the prank was too lame. The reason she 'died' was because she supposedly hit her head really hard.
Please Review; it doesn't have to be long. I love reviews off all kinds, they are like my muse :)
