Hey pips :)

Sorry it have been so late,

But I had my reason (math work… long, exhausting, math work…)

But I'm half way through!

So, until next time,

R&R & L U :)

Chapter 8 – Oh no he didn't

"Why do you keep disappearing after class is over?" was the first thing Edward said to me as I walked down the aisle and took my sit. Class would begin in four and a half minutes, so we had some time to talk –something I dread of and was glad about at the same time.

I could've ask the same thing when I was in your situation, couldn't I? I wanted to ask, but, of course – I couldn't. not if I wanted to execute my plan.

They're won't know what hit them.

"Everybody got their problems…" I quoted Sum41.

"yhea." We both sighed in union.

"Ok, class." The history teacher, 'The Barker' as everyone called his, looked at all of us like an angry hawk. "You have a paper to due for tomorrow – it's my last reminder."

"What?" I asked. "Since when? And about what?" he never reminded us, even once, about this – nor talked to us, or explained… so – what the hack?!

Yhea I know, I've already done 11th grade, but prep will always be prep.

"Of course I did, Miss Lesly," the teacher crossed his arms on his Polo-shirt.

"Um, Mr. Barck," Edward said. Barck, uh? The name fits him well. "Is – I mean, Lizzy wasn't here when you explained it to us, remember? She got here only three days ago."

So that's the reason… "Oh, well," the teacher looked please that he was right. "You may do the paper with Mr. Cullen here, Miss Lesly, because it seems like he'd love too." All the class giggled, and I could've sworn that Edward blushed – a little more blood than normal got up to his face.

I buried my face in my hair and mumbled. "Yes, Sir."

"Good." Mr. Barck didn't look please, though. But I was – my plan was up to phase A – into the lion's cave.

Oh, yhea, I named Edward "Lion" and myself… "Cobra".

Every good plan needs cod-names, doesn't it?

I noticed Edward sniffed the air – he took a deep breath while turning in my direction. We both froze.

I knew what I smelled like as a Vampire – like Freesia and strawberry. Minus the ach in his throat, I must smell the same to him – and he knows that. He knew that.

"When and where do you want to do this paper?" I whispered to him. It took him a minute or so to overcome his shock.

"I've already finished my paper." He mumbled. I pouted.

"I want to take a look – after all, it's supposed to be our paper, isn't it?" I half smiled at him. He nodded, sheepish, I think.

It hurt me to look at him.

It hurt so much.

When the bell rand I didn't jump off my sit and run like I would have any other day. "See?" I asked Edward as I slowly got up – even slowly for a human. "I'm still here." I gathered my books to a pile and tucked them under my hand.

"A miracle!" here said, half-laughing. I saw Alice standing at the class's exit frozen. Her eyes were on Edward.

"Well, I have to go. See ya…" I turned to the exit and didn't touch Alice as I got passed her.

"What is it, Alice?" I heard Edward's voice asking, still light.

"Y – You laughed…" she stammered.

"So?" Edward asked her as I got inside my English class, and set next to an empty chair, at my permanent chair.

"You haven't laughed since…" I wished I could've seen their faces.

"Listen up, people!" the teacher's voice startled me and I almost growled at him. Almost. "Now we'll have the test about 'Pride and prejudice'. Hope you all are well prepared…" he had this evil smirk on his face… man that was creepy.

I looked at my side – Nick hadn't come today. What would I do? Though I knew this book word-by-word and read it 12,052 times as a vampire, but I still hadn't learnt about it.

"What I need to know?" I whispered for help.

"dunno." A boy with blondish hair whispered to me.

"Just the plot." My head sot to my left – it was Jasper who said this. He looked at me, and I nodded my head, not looking at his eyes.

"Thanks." I whispered back and the test was on my desk.

46 seconds after that I'd finished it. It was too easy – I knew everything; who Mr. Darcy was; what do I think about his character; does Elizabeth's sister had her happy-ending…

And as I saw Elizabeth's name a smile spread on my face.

Why do you think my fake name is Lizzy?

"Want to go to the library?" I asked Edward without looking at him. We walked at the lot and stop next to my car.

"The one that at Forks?" he sounded surprised.

"Yep." I popped the 'p'.

"Ok." He shrugged, still a bit confused. "But you must know that there aren't many books in there."

"So where do you want to do it? At your place, or at mine? We can use the Internet." A grin came up to my lips. As if Edward-All-Knowing will need the Internet for anything.

Edward looked pained. "Is there something wrong?" I acted as if I didn't know he wouldn't go to my house. Yes – my house.

"No, no. um… alright." He said.

"Alright what?" I tilted my head.

"Your place." He said.

He didn't!

Oh no he didn't!

Don't forget to R&R please!
