10 Years Later…

Bella was resting her head on my chest while I read. We had been in Alaska working on my resistance for about six years. It was hard and there was always apart of me that wanted to just give in. Bella was the one that kept me going. Four years ago Bella and I had gotten married and had lived in England on our own for about three years.

We had finally joined up with our family again and we were now living in Canada. We were starting school tomorrow and I was a little nervous. It would be my first time back at school since my change and I was worried that my resistance would fail. Bella assured me that she had every class with me so she would help me through it. I looked down from my book and noticed Bella watching me.

"Hello, love" I said and kissed her.

"Still nervous?" she asked curiously.

"Nope!" I proclaimed sarcastically.

"Liar" she muttered sweetly.

Now all I have to do is wait for the opportune moment.

Emmett's thoughts hit me.

"Don't even think about it, Emmett!" I shouted and I heard Emmett swearing as I foiled his prank attempt.

"He never gives up does he?" Bella laughed.

"Never."

The Next Day…

I sat behind the wheel of my car staring at the school building. Bella sat next to me holding me hand in hers. I was gathering my nerves before I stepped out of the car. Bella ran her thumb over my palms in a soothing motion.

"Ready?" she asked.

"I guess it's now or never" I replied. We got out of the car and Bella grabbed my hand once again. I was bombarded with our classmate's thoughts.

OMG! That's the new student!

He is so hot.

I hope that's not his girlfriend.

Wow that girl is hot. I hope that guy's her brother.

I chuckled and Bella guessed what I was laughing at. She was happy that I couldn't read her mind even though it annoyed me to no end sometimes. Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice came and joined us and we walked into the school together. We walked to the Dean's office to receive our schedules. The secretary took one look at the family of insanely gorgeous students and her thoughts went wild. I blocked them out almost immediately but her thoughts were written all over her face.

The dean led us into his office and explained the rules to us. His eyes drifted to Bella's hand firmly clasped in mine. I began to absently mindedly play with the wedding ring on her finger. The dean noted this and I saw his lips pursued tightly. He didn't say anything and just handed us our schedules.

Bella kissed me lightly on the lips once we were out of the office. We walked off to our first class together prepared for anything. As long as we were together I could survive high school for a second time.
