When Alice and I walked into our Earth Science class we both stopped when we saw Zack sitting at a lab table. "Wonderful." I moaned as I walked up to the teacher, Mr. Gregory. I stopped when Alice didn't move. I knew she was having a vision, and I swiftly pulled her forward towing her behind me. I handed Mr. Gregory our schedules, and he signed them. He pointed to a empty table I thanked him and quickly dragged Alice to it. I shoved her in her seat.
"Alice, what is it?" I asked frantic. She didn't talk for a while, but then looked at me narrowing her eyes.
"What?!" I asked leaning back alarmed. She looked over at Zack and back at me. I followed her gaze, and noticed Zack was smiling at me.
"Oh, Alice! Have you gone mental!" I hissed at her.
"I'm only stating what I saw." She shrugged still glaring at me.
"I would never cheat on Edward! You have to be seeing his future, or what he wants in his future." I pointed out. I knew it wasn't in mine.
"I'm just saying that that's what I saw." Alice shrugged. She opened her book to follow along in the lesson. I peeked over at Zack, who was still looking at me. I took my necklace out from my shirt and held my rings tightly in my hand.
Alice and I walked silently to our French class. I was relieved when none of the guys we saw this morning were in the class. Alice and I had to split up taking the last 2 seats in the class. I sat between two girls that reminded me of Jessica and Angela from Forks.
"Hi, I'm Lindsay." The girl on my right leaned over to whisper to me. She had shoulder length straight blond hair, and was the same build as me.
"I'm Bella." I smiled politely. She returned my smile and turned to pay attention to the lesson.
"Where's your next class?" Lindsay asked when the bell rang.
"Math, with Mr. Trapani" I said looking at my schedule, even though I had it memorized.
"Perfect! I'm heading there now!" She smiled taking my hand. We both gasped at the same time. I went to pull my hand away but she still held it. "Your hands are always cold too? My best friend Tabitha has the same problem. I got her these magnetic bracelets for Christmas that help with the circulation." She continued to tow me out of the room. Alice waved quickly on her way past me to her class.
I walked into math and groaned loudly. "What's wrong?" Lindsay asked taking my schedule from my hands.
"That guy! He's like in all my classes."
"Oh that's Zack, he's so hot isn't he!" She cooed over him, "I think he has his eye on you!" She pointed out the obvious.
"Already have a hus- boyfriend." I shrugged hoping she didn't catch my stutter. This was going to be harder than I though.
"Ok Miss Cullen your going to have to take the seat over by Mr. Brank." I looked in the direction Mr. Trapani was pointing at.
"Umm, can I have another seat?"
"The class is full dear, please take your seat." I paused for a minute before walking over to sit next to Zack.
"So we meet again." Zack said politely. I couldn't help but smile back. "How old are you anyway? You look kinda young- not that it's a bad thing." Alice is good.
"I'm 15. You?" I asked smiling.
"16." He smiled widely. "Just got my license!"
"Congratulations." I said, but didn't understand why he was in a freshmen math class. "So your 16? Are you a freshmen?"
"Nope, math's not my strongest subject. I'm a sophomore." He shrugged.
"And science?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
He shrugged, "That too."
"Miss Cullen?" Mr. Trapani was pointing to a word problem he had written out on the board.
I read it quickly, "I'm sorry, err, the question is backwards. The way you have it the answer is .03266666 and so on. I think the correct answer your looking for is 4.5." I glanced around the room, everyone's mouth hung open as they watched me. Some were punching numbers in their calculators frantically. They all turned to see Mr. Trapani look from his lesson plan to the board, and take out his calculator.
"I stand corrected. Good job Isabella."
I looked at Zack out of the corner of my eye, and he was staring at me wide eyed. "You're a math genius! Hey maybe you could tutor me."
"I don't know. I'm not that smart." Zack looked at me like I suddenly grew another head, and pointed to the board.
"You weren't even paying attention, and you still caught the mistake!" I looked away from him acting like I was paying attention to the lesson.
After the class ended I walked to lunch with Zack and Lindsay. "So you were adopted?" He asked innocently.
"Yup, My brother, sister and I live with Dr. and Mrs. Cullen along with our foster brothers and sisters."
"That's amazing! Sometimes I wish I was adopted." Lindsay sighed. We were in the cafeteria now, and I scanned the tables looking for my family. "Over here. Come sit with me." Zack tugged at my arm, and I met Edwards glare at the same time. He stood by the table with his chair tipped over, and his hands in tight fists. Emmett had his hand restraining on his shoulder. They were all looking at me as if I just screamed out our secret.
"I have my family waiting for me, but thank you anyway." I flashed him a quick smile, and waved to Lindsay. I walked swiftly over to my fuming husband. I could feel Zack's eyes on my back. Edward didn't look at me when I walked over to him, he was watching Zack, who must have been still watching me because Edward put his arm around my waist, and kissed the top of my hair, never taking his eyes off him.
"Will you stop that! He was just being nice." I said sitting down between Edward and Alice.
"That's not what he has on his mind." Edward mumbled.
"I love you." I giggled taking his hand in mine. This made Edward smile, and he relaxed.
The rest of the day dragged by without Alice in any of my classes. Lindsay and her friend Tabitha, on the other hand, were in all of them. After school I met up with my family, and we all walked out into the parking lot. "Hey Bella!" Lindsay waved running up to me.
"Lindsay, hey, umm, this is my brother Emmett, and foster brothers Edward, and Jasper, and my foster sisters Rosalie and Alice." They all waved politely.
"What are you doing Friday night? I'm having a party, and Zack is going to be there! He wanted me to ask you to come." Lindsay whispered after she pulled me away from everyone. I laughed inside knowing they could still hear her.
"I don't know, sorry." I shrugged turning to walk back to get in my car. I took the keys out of Rosalie's hand, and she wined.
"It's my car." I laughed opening the drivers side door.
"That's your car? Your only 15!" Zack asked walking up to me. I moaned banging my head over and over on my door I was leaning against. Rosalie chuckled from the passengers side.
"No, it's my sister's but she lets me drive sometimes. We live right around the corner." I shrugged. "Look I have to get my dau- sister off the bus. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Zack smiled wryly and waved as he walked away. I glimpsed quickly at Edward leaning against his car.
"Come one guys." I sighed getting in the car. Rosalie and Alice piled in behind me.
"You do know we're supposed to be keeping to ourselves." Rosalie informed me.
"I know that!" I spit back at her. "It's not my fault! I'm not walking up to everyone screaming 'Hey I'm a vampire come be my best friend!'"
"You could try NOT talking to anyone, that helps." Rosalie said sarcastically. I ignored her.
"Does Edward know about your vision?" I asked turning to look at Alice in the backseat. She looked at me wide eyed. I laughed once. "It's ok, I have my shield around the car." I glimpsed in my rearview mirror at Edward's car inches from my back bumper. I could see his eyes locked on me. Alice relaxed, and shook her head no.
"I've been thinking of something else around him. Don't worry he wont know."
"What vision?" Rosalie asked leaning against the door to look at both of us.
"I saw Bella kissing that Zack kid."
"Which will NEVER happen!" I added looking at both of them. We were pulling into the driveway, but I kept the shield up. "Ready? I'm pulling it back." Both Alice and Rosalie nodded.
I knew Edward was trying to read their thoughts on the way home because he looked annoyed when I got out of the car. He concentrated on Rosalie and Alice, but seemed confused. "What was that all about?" He asked me.
"What, I cant have some private girl talk?" I asked innocently.
"Fine." Edward growled. We walked inside to start homework. I was relieved by how quick and easy my work was. We were all done in a matter of minutes.
"Time to get our girl off the bus!" Esme said walking towards the front door. Again Edward and I stood outside with Esme, Carlisle was at work.
The bus pulled up to the house, and as soon as the doors opened Esme walked across the street to meet her, and escort her back across. Renesmee was jumping with excitement when she took Esme's hand. She half pulled her across the street.
"There's my girl!" Edward smiled when Esme let go of her hand. Renesmee was already talking excitedly as she ran over to us. Edward caught her in his arms and she leaned away from him to give me a hug.
"I love school! I have a million trillion friends! Alyssa sits next to me, and we shared our markers and crayons! She's my best friend! Mommy can she come over and play soon? She lives on our street too! Chris is funny we played tag at recess today-"
"Chris? Please tell me you mean Chris short for Christina or Kristen." Edward said putting her on the ground to walk between us.
"No daddy," Renesmee giggled, "Chris short for Christopher. He's really cool!"
"Not you too!" Edward clapped his hand to his forehead. "I would have been a lot easier if we had a boy." Edward whispered to me so she couldn't hear. I punched him playfully in his arm.
"I have homework." Renesmee wined taking her book bag off and sitting at the table. I sat with her helping her when she needed it. She already knew how to write, so she breezed though the worksheet with tracing the letter Q. I had to help her with her spelling words though.
Later that night we took Renesmee home and put her to bed. As soon as she was asleep I heard Edward shut her bedroom door and walk into out bedroom. "What are you doing?" Edward asked knocking on the bathroom door.
"Come here." I said softly running my hand in the warm water knowing he could hear me. The door swung open and Edward gasped. I lit candles all around our Jacuzzi tub which was the only light in the bathroom. I laid in the tub my body covered in bubbles.
"Why don't you join me?" I asked standing up and grabbing his shirt to pull him into me. My lips crashed against his, and he wrapped his arms around me. I tore at his clothes, and he stepped in the tub behind me. I leaned back into him, and he rubbed my arms moving his hands over my stomach. I turned over so I was facing him, and he took my face in his hands kissing me my favorite passionate kiss.
