This is dedicated to you all.

I hate and love you at the same time.

Because of you I'm losing valuable study time.

You better enjoy this.

This was unbelievable! We'd been so close!

Beth now stood with new-found confidence, hands planted firmly on her dainty hips and pouted in a "sucked in" fashion.

"Now Eddie, I wouldn't want to think you were running away from me." She said, mockingly.

"Of course not darling, I love you with all my heart." He said monotonously staring her in the eyes.

Beforehand he sounded somewhat convincing, now it was obvious he was under some sort of spell. Could it be Beth was finding it harder to take control of him?

"I know what you are." I said trying to fake my confidence.

Before I'd felt so superior over this little being; now she had me trembling all over.

"Sure you do sweetheart." She snorted and tossed her blonde curls behind her shoulder. "Care to enlighten me?"

"You're half-vampire. Not full. But you've got mind-controlling powers." I said biting my lip, and for all it was worth, praying that my theory was correct.

Her top lip curled, disgusted.

I'd gotten it right! I knew it! Bella Swan/Cullen should take up detective work… maybe as my next career.

But, just as my hopes had exalted to the max, she removed the look of dissatisfaction from her face and replaced it with mock humour.

"Vampire! What an insult! Even if it were only half you claimed me as. No Bella, I'm afraid not." She shrugged and sighed. "Well, next time you think you've got the right answer, come and find me and my new beau." She winked, and took Edward by the arm, who voluntary accepted, and began to head for the exit.

I bolted out in front of them at vampire speed and blocked their exit.

"You're not going anywhere." I said deep and lowly, as a growl erupted from my throat.

"See, that's what I hate about vampires, you sound so feral when you make animal noises." Beth scrunched up nose and stuck out her tongue.

"We act feral to, especially when we rip our prey's throats out." I snarled and lunged out at her, knocking her to the ground, taking her by surprise.

"Get off me!" She cried, high pitched and shrill.

We slapped, scratched and squealed, rolling around on the ground until and strong male lifted Beth off from on top of me.

"Bella, it happened again!" Edward said dazed while he held a vicious Beth, sprawling around in his arms.

"How'd you just…" I breathed.

"Damn you, stupid vampire, made me lose my concentration." Beth muttered under her breath, forgetting my vampire hearing.

As quickly as he had come out of it, Edward returned to his trance, green eyes and all.

He dropped Beth gently, as she put the biggest act on that would have Marilyn Monroe Junior in fear of competition.

"Edward, she tried to kill me!" She sobbed.

"Bethesda, or whoever you are, I am so over this!" I yelled.

"WHAT IS GOING ON OUT HERE?" The angelic, shrill voice of a female called.

How nice, Principal Hale had decided to pay us a visit, along with half the student body.

From the end of the hallway, thunderous slaps pelted against the floor.

Everyone turned to see an exhausted Emmett/ Coach Samuels running for what seemed like dear life.

"This is my fault!" He panted in between breaths. "I believe Miss Swan and Mr. Cullen decided to skip my class, and I was ignorant enough to let them leave, they sneaked out of the room without my attention."

If it were possible, Rosalie's forehead would be etched deep with wrinkles from the frown she produced.

"Get rid of them." Rosalie huffed and growled at Emmett.

"Right." He nodded nervously, "Swan, Cullen, this way." He ordered sternly, directing us both back to the gym.

In the background the students were clearing out, back to their classes.

He motioned for Edward to lead the way, and after stealing a quick glance from Beth who nodded, he began to walk. I followed close behind him, as did Beth.

"Excuse me Miss Sutherland; I'd rather you went with Principal Hale." Emmett ordered in his booming voice.

But Beth didn't appreciate that and began to try and persuade him otherwise.

"No, there's been a misunderstanding, you see…"

"I'm the teacher here; therefore, what I say goes!" He yelled at her.

I gave Emmett a mental hi-five.

Beth's mouth gaped open and closed but no words came out. In the end she sighed and turned on her heel.

"What's going on?" A bewildered Edward asked from behind.

"More like what's going down." I hissed through gritted teeth.

***

"Right, what are we meant to do?" Emmett sighed as he took a seat on the gymnasium floor.

"I know what you're not doing!" Edward said with a big broad smile, referring to Rosalie.

I'd never seen her so mad!

"Grow up!" I said as I slapped him on the back, trying to act mature.

Emmett just pummeled him.

"HEY GUYS!" I shouted over the two grown vampires, rolling around on the floor in a fist-fight. "Violence is so out right now."

"Yeah, you're one to talk. Miss Fashion Expertise." Emmett said mockingly referring to the fluro green jumpsuit I came to school wearing.

Thankfully, I still had on my PE uniform.

Edward pulled himself back up, and straightened his clothes.

"Coach Samuels isn't it mandatory for students to wear the PE uniform, only in PE." He queried.

Emmett getting the gist, unlike myself, pulled himself up and gave Edward a huge grin.

"Mr. Cullen, indeed it is." Then they both turned to face me.

"Miss Swan, as the PE period is over I suggest you go change back into your casual attire; that is if you don't want another detention." Emmett pointed out.

Then I understood what they were playing at.

"NO! I refuse to change back into that repulsive excuse for a… a… whatever it is!" I said baffled and furious that Edward had read my thoughts.

Again.

Emmett just pointed to the change rooms.

When I got home I was so burning that jumpsuit.

"Well I guess we all know what you're not doing." I said snottily to Edward as I made my grand exit.

"Oh! Would you like some ice for that burn?" Emmett laughed at Edward.

"Shut up. That phrase is like, sixty years old." Edward replied moodily.

***

When I returned sporting my fluro green jumpsuit, Edward and Emmett had their serious faces back on.

"I see we've been doing some thinking. Did it hurt much?" I sneered as I sat down on the floor joining the two.

"We've got a plan." Emmett said clapping his hands together, looking at Edward.

"Great let's hear it!" I said surprised yet pleased.

"I think it's better if you don't know about it quite just yet…" Edward said, averting my gaze.

"What are you talking about? I think I have the right…." I began but Edward quickly cut me off.

"We'll explain later, just, for now go home. I'll meet you there soon." Edward said abruptly, still look away from me.

"What's wrong? I didn't mean to tease you." I laughed.

"It's not that sweetheart, just go home. Not to the cottage, the main house. Mansion, whatever you want to call it."

"Alright." I agreed hesitantly. "Do you want me to take the Volvo?" I asked as I pulled myself up from the sitting position.

I stole a glance at Emmett from my peripheral vision and caught him staring at my butt, with his blazing blue eyes.

"Emmett!" I said embarrassed. But then I blinked again.

"Edward! Edward his eyes!" I cried.

"I know love." He winced.

"What…?" I stammered, pointing and shocked.

"Just run home Bella, as fast as you can."

And with that he turned to take a final look at me with his topaz eyes.

My vampire instinct kicked in and I bolted for the exit, moving my legs as fast as they would go.

I was out of there before I could see his eyes flicker to the aberrant green that sent chills down my spine.

Now she had both of them.

I'm looking for my beta, I Love Edward and Toast; I haven't heard from her for like a month, so Lanababe betaed this chapter, thanks.

Alright, I wasn't meant to write another chapter so soon, it's just that I'm so addicted to writing!!

I wrote this during the hour I promised myself I would study for my geography exam. The exams on the advantages and disadvantages of trade. And the role of the government. So exciting. Anyone who wants a preview leave word.

And I completed my piano exam! Yay! I had a complete mind blank but eventually remembered the answer. I get the results soon too.

So I'm going to promise not to write anymore.

Then again, my promises are so not reliable anymore.

Just review, and if you've flattered me enough I'll write another chapter.

Please don't flatter me.

Okay maybe you can a little… or a lot.

I don't mind.

Actually yes I do!

Alright.

Now I shall study.

Big clap for me:D
