Shit. Right. Truth or not? Tanya could quite easily kill me for even thinking about going round to Edwards to study. Then again she didn't care about me going to talk to him.. Do I risk it and get my head chewed off, or do I risk that fact that Edward might blow my cover.. God dammit why is this so hard! Hang on a second. I'm not doing anything wrong. Why am I so scared?

Cause she's Tanya freakin Denali that's why..

Shut up brain no one asked you. Oh god I'm crazy.

"Yeah he told me about the assignment. Clearly I wasn't listening, yet again. He actually suggested we pair up and get it done quicker." Please don't kill me please don't kill me. I saw a flicker of something in Tanya's eyes, but she covered it to quickly for me to really know what it was.

"Oh. That's nice, so how's that going to work then?" Dangerous ground Bella..

"I'm actually heading over to his after school, we're going to make a start and with any luck we could be finished it either today or tomorrow."

"Oh." I wish she'd stop saying that. "SO he and I wont be going to the movies then. Like we planned to." Told you so! Don't mess with Denali..

"Shut up!" Oops. Was that out loud?

"Excuse me?" The entire cafeteria turns to face me. Oh shit.

"Someone's had one too many energy drinks this morning eh Bella?" Rose announces to the watching audience. Thank god for Rose.

"Yeah and not enough sleep by the sounds of it" Alice my angel. "In fact are you OK to continue on today?" Blessing in disguise she is.

"Urrhh your right, I should probably head home, I'm still feeling a little buzzed and dizzy from that coffe- I mean energy drinks."

"Oh. Well hope you feel better Bells, I'll let Edward know we're still going to the movies" she whispers as she gives me what looks like comforting hug but what I know as a warning squeeze. It had Back off! written all over it. With that I left the cafeteria with Rose and Aly.

"Way to stir up trouble Swan" remarks Rosalie.

"Really Bella? Edward? Couldn't you not like someone who is more, oh I don't know, AVAILABLE!" damn Alice had a set of lungs on her. I think she burst my ear drum.

"Guys it was a biology project! Nothing more! Trust Tanya to get all wound up over nothing." But you wish it was something.. My brain is going to get me in so much trouble.. "Guys it was really sweet of you to get me out of there but if you don't mind I'm just going to go home and start this project that I'm obviously going to have to do solo. " The pity on their faces was almost too much to bear. "Right that's it I'm going. Bye." I grunt. Their pity turns to worry.

"Bye Bella! BBM me when you get home OK?" leave it to Alice to want to take care of me even when I act like a shit.

"Ok bye guys." We hug out our tension, or my tension, and I pop into my truck and head home. By the time I get there I see I have 2 BBM's, one obviously Alice,

WHY HAVENT YOU BBM'D ME YET BELLA! ARE YOU ALIVE OR NOT?

I chose to ignore for a bit longer. The other was from.. OMG Edward.

Hey, I know for a fact you don't drink Caffeine Drinks but just so you know, I still want to do the project with you. I'll be on IM at 9pm tonight. Please be there. - Edward

He knows I don't drink Caffeine Drinks? Yeah, its true, Caffeine seems pointless to me as all it does is gives you a 30 second high, but still. He knows that? Wow. I looked at my watch. Damn. It was only 2.15pm. What was I supposed to do till 9pm! I decided I would do a little research. What if he asks me what I want to do the project on? I haven't a clue what we've learnt this year. I guess if I just look at my notes and see what I can fish out. Wow this is really dull. Its so dull. So dull that im now exhausted just reading it. I suppose a little nap wouldn't hurt.

THUD Oh shit what was that. What's the time? Oh. 5.30pm. Charlie's home. I sort my hair and make up out, no need to scare the man, and head downstairs to greet him. "Hey dad."

"Hey Bells how was school?"

"Not great, felt kinda bad so I came home during lunch. I feel a lot better though."

"Well as long as your OK now," he said with a smile. Did I mention how cool he is? I just told him i skipped school and he's smiling at me. I love him. "Billy's coming over and he's bringing his son." I hate him. He KNOWS I don't like Jacob yet he still persists on pushing him on me saying he just wants me to have more friends when really he's saying "Be with this boy. I approve." URGH!

Just as I was contemplating murdering the chief of police, the door bell rang.

"Saved by the bell" he muttered. Oh if he only knew.

"Hey Charlie, Bella, how are you both?" Lovely Billy. His wife died when Jacob and I were young, leaving him to raise Jacob on his own. Shortly after her death he was in an accident leaving him life in a wheelchair, complicating matters further. However Billy never let this get to him. His motto when I was growing up was "Every knock makes you stronger." And in his case it really did. He raised Jacob and managed his own store on the reservation where he and Jacob lived. He's done well.

"Hey Billy its great to see you" I bend down and get sucked into a bear hug, that's when I saw Jacob giving me the creepy stare. "Jacob." I say as I straighten myself.

"Oh come on Bells don't be so formal" he says as he walks through the door, "we're practically engaged by now." Eww. Creep.

"In your dreams jerk" I mutter just loud enough for him and no one else to hear.

He erupts into a booming laugh and puts a hand around my waist. "Touch me again and I'll break your arm off" I whisper yell into his ear as I grab old of his hand and bend it back over his wrist.

"OK OK Jees, your getting strong there Bells." Urgh.

I sit through what seems like story after story about how great Jacob and I are and how we'd be great together. It's only until I catch site of Charlie's watch and notice its 8.55pm that I feign tiredness and excuse myself. I said a quick goodnight to Billy and Charlie, ignoring Jacob, and ran to my room. I spin round, lock the door and walk over to my laptop. I open up my messenger and notice the little sign; Edward Cullen is writing a message..
