Chapter 2: Purgatory.

EPOV

I got to school early the next day. It was difficult to stay away, knowing that Bella would get here so soon, and I would be able to see her. I scorned my mind, and told myself I was here to give a good impression, this was my first time as a teacher and didn't want to have a problem. Yup, that was exactly it.

I got out and leaned against my door. I still had a half hour before I had to be at my first class. The only thing I remembered about my class was a horrible girl, with curly hair whose name I don't remember throwing herself at me. Forks was always rainy and that girl wore less clothes than girls in the middle of summer in Miami.

It seemed most girls here were like that. Except Bella. She was so shy she barely ever looked my way. I had been stealing peeks at her during our first class; she seemed to be quiet all the time, except when she would silently whisper something at Alice.

I was brought out of my silent musings by two girls who were standing in front of me.

"Hi Mr. Cullen" said the girl I remembered as Lauren Mallory.

"Hello Ladies"

"We were just wondering what you were doing here all by yourself" the curly haired girl from my first period class said, batting her eyelashes.

"I'm waiting for your class time, I'm sorry, but I can't talk now" I told them trying to get away. They both pouted but stepped aside for me to pass. I was in awe as a Mercedes Guardian passed in front of me. Who would need a guardian in boring Forks? I was shocked and curious, so I walked towards it. Out of it stepped none other than Bella. She tripped a little, before steadying herself, and getting her bag. She turned around and saw me standing there. She blushed and looked into my eyes. I held her there, her eyes showing me her soul, they were so deep, but she looked down again, and I mentally kicked myself, she's my student.

"Hi, I was just curious about the car, a guardian?" I asked slightly amused.

"Yeah, my dad thinks it's necessary for me, I'm really clumsy." She said with her face red.

"Wow, I didn't know it was that bad" I told her, concerned for her.

"Yeah, after I was in an accident last year, he decided I needed protection." She said, grimacing.

"Well, at least you're okay now" I smiled, trying to get her to look up

"Yeah" she said, finally looking up, but not looking directly into my eyes.

"I have to get to class" she told me, shifting slightly, just as Alice came into view, her boyfriend Jasper holding her hand. At the party I had found out I had more problems to add to my list, Rosalie Hale, the blonde teacher was one of her best friends, Jasper Hale, was Rosalie's brother, Alice's boyfriend, and Bella's protector from High School boys. It seemed she was the seed to a million roots of people and problems.

"Yeah, see you" I told her, returning to my teacher mode as the two girls from earlier came into view. I was walking briskly, as I hear them.

"He only talks to her because of Alice. She's not even pretty. I don't see why all those guys like her. Everyone knows she's a virgin." Said Lauren

I was angry, actually, I wanted to suspend them form school, but I knew I had no grounds. She was beautiful, the most wonderful angel in the entire universe, they thought themselves better than her? That was pathetic, I was also slightly jealous when she mentioned other guys, and again angry when they bashed her for her virtue. I was sure that was something that had long left them. She was holy, untouchable. Yet I so wanted to touch her beautiful skin, kiss those full, sexy li-

Student student student I chanted, trying to break free of my impure thoughts. I only hoped she remained exactly what she was. An untouchable goddess, if I couldn't, then no one else would either, right?

I went to Spanish with Ms. Goff, my mind in a haze. His eyes, oh my, those eyes. It was a crime against society for anyone to be so gorgeous. It was so unfair, in any normal circumstance I knew he would still not be interested, way out of my league, but it was still unfair that he was a teacher. Why couldn't he do something else as a career? I sighed, slightly pounting as I pictured him and me, in a completely non professional setting. Just a guy, and a girl, not a teacher and the student that is crushing on him.

NEVR GONNA HAPPEN

I thought, and returned my attention to my teacher.

I had Jazz in this class with me, and being Jasper he always knew what I was feeling.

He smiled, and tried to soothe my irritation, my angst

"What's wrong?" he asked me, slightly frowning.

"School is unfair" I told him. He still seemed confuse, but knew me well, and was aware that I wasn't going to say more, I didn't want to, plus I had nothing else to say.

Class continued, and soon I was meeting up with Alice in front of Mr. Cullens' class.

"Hey Bells" she said, smirking, as if she knew something I didn't.

"Hey Alice, let's go, I don't want to be late."

We walked into the class, and sat down. Mr. Cullen wasn't in there yet so we chatted a bit, until he got there. He settled his stuff and called the class to attention.

"Ok, students. Today I will be giving out a quiz, just to see where you are in your writing, since that is what we will be working on this semester." Most students groaned, but me and Alice perked up. Writing was my passion. One day I was going to make an amazing book that would be recognized but persons of all ages. I wanted to be the next Austen.

"So this is what you're gonna do" he continued "you are going to write me a short story. No less than five hundred words, about something fictional. I will grade them, and then know where we all stand. Its due at the end of the class, so get to it" he smiled, and sat down, marking papers.

I already knew what I was going to write now.

"Twilight"…

EPOV

As soon as I told the students to start writing I saw Bella writing furiously. I walked around to where the students were, reviewing their progress. Most students were on their first or second page, but when I got to Bella's table I noticed Alice was well into her third and Bella was almost on her fifth page. It seemed much more than five hundred words, but I had not set a top limit, so I knew I had to prepare myself. I never imagined her to be so fast to come up with a fictional story.

When the bell rang the students one by one walked to my desk and handed me there papers. I could tell that some hadn't finished, and that they had written less than five hundred words, but when Bella gave me her assignment it looked like a 10 page story. I briefly looked at the title. Twilight. Well that didn't give me any ideas, oh well I had time. I smiled at her as she handed it in, and she blushed, walking out the room with Alice, who had written a story title "Alice the fashion Pixie", it sounded like a children's story, and I smirked at my cousin and her vivaciousness.

As I went to lunch I took Bella's story with me, and started reading her work.

By the time I was done I was shocked, surprised and extremely proud. She had written a long story of forbidden love between a girl, and a vampire. Her characters were so real, her depiction and description created the images in my mind. It reached my heart and made it swell. Her writing was beautiful, articulate. I could tell that she was extremely talented, and had a lot of promise. In the end, when the vampire finally bit the human, and they lived in love for eternity, I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. Hope. There love had been forgiven, but they still made it. Maybe things would work, in a year she would no longer be my student, and even if it took years, I could wait. There was something about Bella, she was just someone that I knew I had been waiting for. I could wait for a while longer. Who was I kidding, I could wait forever. Just like Edwin had for Gabriella. I wasn't a vampire, but I could relate, I knew I wanted something I couldn't have. I just hoped she felt the same way.

I felt really good about my essay. By the end of the week, I was pretty sure I had an ultimate crush on my teacher. In his class that day he gave us back our papers, but not before he praised myself, Angela, Alice, and a boy named Jacob Black on their stories. As I was exiting the classroom I heard his sexy voice.

"Bella, can I speak to you for a moment?" he said, not looking up from a paper.

I walked towards where he sat behind his desk.

"Yes, Mr. Cullen?" I asked, wondering if I had done something wrong.

"I just wanted to tell you Bella, this was an amazing piece, have you considered writing as a career?"

I immediately relaxed, grinning widely at him, who was looking at me with interest.

"Yeah, that's what I want to do, its pretty much the only thing I'm good at" I told him honestly

He frowned and looked into my eyes. "Well I don't think that's the only thing you're good at, but then again, I'm only your teacher" the way he said it was natural, not sexual or perverted at all, but in that moment my thoughts were far from pure or virtuous, I had to remind myself to breathe. Breathe, Bella, breathe.

"Yeah, thanks, bye" I told him, through the shallow breaths I was taking. Those green eyes were so tempting. THIS SUCKED. I thought to myself, I hated the fact that he was so gorgeous, probably had a girlfriend and was definitely not interested. Why?

I knew these childish thoughts were beyond me, but I wanted to whine a little, I wanted to act childishly and acknowledge that this situation was not good. I immediately decided to have some fun, like teenagers should, I would ask Alice to do something this weekend, bring Rose, Jazz, maybe even Em, he seemed to get along with Rose.

By the time I finished asking Alice she was smiling widely and bouncing, jabbering on about plans for clubs, Seattle, Port Angeles, and sleepovers. I just nodded and smiled. All I wanted to do was be distracted from him, anything but think about him.

"So Bells what do you think?"

"Huh?" I asked her

"We'll got to Seattle for the weekend, go shopping and then go to a club, Rose and Em, will come, of course, so the parental should be okay with it." She said, rolling her eyes

"Yeah, that's cool."

As I passed to my car I saw Mr. Cullen getting into the silver Volvo I had noticed on my first day.

At home I called my dad and told him of our plans, then texted Emmett, and asked him what he wanted me to pack for him.

B-

Anything fine, make sure to have enough, can I bring a friend?

-Em

I didn't see a problem with this so I immediately texted him back

Em-

I don't see why not, just make sure he's not a drunk or a perv. Ha

-B

Soon I got a message

B-

Ha, funny. Not. See ya in 20.

-Em

I laughed at my brothers attitude, he really was so carefree, but I remembered some of his friends from college and was not happy with the way some of them had acted towards me, neither had Emmett, so I knew that he would never get me into a sticky situation with one of his friends. He was an incredibly protective big brother, and he always saw me as the little baby, so I knew that there would not be a problem with whoever he decided to bring.

As I packed things for him and things for myself I saw through the window Alice pulling up in her yellow Porsche, I knew she would have to leave it here.

As the door opened and closed, I finished packing, and conferred with Alice about what cars we would take with us.

In the end we decided to take my Guardian, since all six of us would fit in it. I agreed, as long as I didn't have to drive it. I knew Rose would be happy to do it, since she was a genius under the hood and behind the wheel, so as she got here and agreed I let out a sigh of relief. We started packing the luggage into the guardian as Emmett pulled up, 20 minutes late.

"Emmett! You're late" I said, agitated at my cuddly brother bear.

"Sorry, but I had to follow Edward home" he told me, even though I had no idea who Edward was.

"Who?" I asked.

"Hi everyone" a velvet voice that I instantly recognized said. Oh my… Mr. Cullen.

"Hi Mr. Cullen" I said, as the others all greeted him by Edward, except Jasper.

"Bella, please, we're out of school, call me Edward."

Edward, I liked it, it suited him. It was a name from old times, something you would get in Austen's books. It seemed appropriate since he was ideal that way.

"Edward" I said, smiling slightly

"yeah, I invited him, after all I do need friends my own age" Emmett said, laughing.

"I call shot gun", he yelled

In the end Alice and Jasper sat in the middle seats, while I was stuck with Edward at the back for the three hour drive. This was going to be a long weekend…
