His thoughts abruptly changed direction, moving onto thoughts of Alice that I would rather not see.
The teacher chose that moment to enter the room, quieting everyone.
I tried to tune out Jasper and went back to watching Bella through the minds of others.

Bella’s POV:
Would this class never end?
It was only 3 minutes until the bell went for lunch and I would finally be in Edward’s arms again. I don’t know if I would be able to keep up the charade of having only just met him. All I wanted to do was go and kiss him with the passion I could feel building up in my body.
Everyone in the room was talking, the lesson finished for this hour. From what I could hear of the conversations, most of the girls were talking about Edward and I. Jessica was especially jealous, but still had the nerve to come up to me for the latest gossip.
“Hey, Bella!” Jess said, smiling sickly sweet.
“Hi, Jess.” I said with much less enthusiasm.
She took that as a sign and quickly sat down next to me, only slightly nervous at being so close. Reluctantly I turned my head to look at her. She was still wearing that stupid grin.
“So I hear you talked to Edward Cullen this morning.” She said quickly, obviously trying to get it out quickly.
“Yeah, I did.” I said shortly, enjoying her exasperation.
“Well?” she demanded.
“Well, what?” I said back just as quickly.
“Well, what did he say?” She said, becoming very impatient.
I decided to give her a little something. Maybe then she would leave me alone. “He didn’t really say much, just introduced himself. His sister Alice asked me to sit with them today.”
“Oh, my, god! You have to tell me everything that happens!” she squealed rather obnoxiously.
The bell decided to make an appearance before I had to answer. Thank goodness.
“Oh, sorry Jess. Maybe we can catch up another time?” I said, not really waiting for an answer.
I was already out of my seat and halfway to the door before anyone else had even stood up.
It was an effort to run at human pace to my locker, and even more of an effort to walk at human speed to the cafeteria. When I finally got there, barely thirty seconds after the bell, the cafeteria was almost completely empty, excluding the lunch lady and Edward.
The lunch lady seemed preoccupied so I ran, flashing to Edward’s side in an instant. He stood up to greet me and I greedily captured his lips with mine. The kiss was only just beginning when Edward pulled away and sat down quickly. Just as I managed to copy his movements, the cafeteria door opened and students began rushing in.
“Shoot. Maybe we can find a empty room.” I said quietly so only he could hear me.
“Hmm.” He mumbled, pulling my hand onto his leg before twining his fingers with mine. “Don’t let Emmett hear you say that.” He whispered with his customary crooked grin.
Seconds later, we were joined by the rest of the family, all who had trays in their hands as props.
Alice was glaring at the pair of us when she sat down, almost on top of Jasper. “Don’t you dare Edward Cullen! That hardly counts as getting together slowly.” She said; her shrill voice only a whisper so the humans couldn’t hear us.
I quickly turned my gaze to Edward. “What did you have planned?” I asked, wondering what Alice had seen.
His face turned sheepish in response. It was adorable.
Emmett chose then to speak up. “Going to find an empty room Eddie?” he said quietly, wiggling his eyebrows.
If I had been human I would have been absolutely bright red. “I didn’t think you’d heard that.” I said, tilting my head forward so I was hiding behind my hair. Everyone except Edward began laughing and I’m sure to the rest of the cafeteria it would have looked like a shoot from a T.V commercial.
“Don’t worry Bella, Emmett and I have done it plenty of times.” Rose said, still giggling.
I looked over to Edward again, only to find him staring at me, smiling.
I squeezed his hand in mine, an unsaid show of affection, and not so subtly moved my chair closer to Edward’s so we were just touching. I sighed quietly, a smile tilting my lips up.
“So you both have biology together next....you’ll be sitting next to each other which is even better.” Alice began before she opted for a musing expression. “I think Mike might become a problem, but I’m sure the two of you...” Alice was abruptly cut off as her eyes glazed over; an expression which I had come to know meant she was having a vision.
Jasper held her hand, lightly rubbing her palm until she came back to the present. She blinked twice before looking at Edward. “Mr Banner just decided to change today’s lab. You might have to take a rain check.”
Everyone was either looking at Edward or Alice, waiting for an explanation. Finally, after much shaking of Alice’s head, Edward smiled.
“I hate it when you guys do that...it couldn’t kill you to speak out loud.” Emmett said, laughing at his little joke.
“Ha, ha, very funny.” Alice said, poking her tongue out at him.
We seemed to have gone a little off track, so I decided to ask what was going on. “Well? What exactly is going on?”
“Mr Banner has decided that we would do blood typing today. Never a good idea for us.” Edward answered quickly. “And we can’t skip together, it might look a little off.”
I thought about that quickly. “Then what are we going to do?” I asked quietly. I saw still all for the skipping together part.
“Well...” he said, not finishing his sentence. He looked quickly to Alice and she rolled her eyes before answering.
“Bella, you are going to have to do a little more acting.” She said, her mouth stretching into a smile that looked slightly off putting.
I defiantly didn’t like where this was going. “Spit it out, Alice.” I said guardedly.
“Relax, Bella. It’s honestly not that bad. All you have to do is pretend that you get ill when you smell blood. That way you can leave with Edward. Then he can offer to drive you home because you’re unwell. Perfect!” if I had been human, I would have missed everything Alice had just said, she had spoken so fast. But that didn’t really sound too bad...acting was after all, so much easier for a vampire. Plus it would get me more time with Edward.
“Okay.” I said simply.
Edward’s face went from apprehensive to shocked in less than a tenth of a second. “You’re actually agreeing to this?” he sounded so disbelieving it was funny.
I couldn’t help but giggle.
Very slowly I leaned over to whisper in his ear. The cafeteria erupted into hushed whispers, but I ignored it.
“I think the positives far out way the negatives.” I whispered so he was the only one that would hear me. “Just think...we can have so much more time to ourselves, an extended weekend perhaps?” I said, trying to sound as alluring as possible.
His hand tightened around mine and I knew he liked the idea.
As I pulled back I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the bemused expression on his face. Alice and Rose just smiled as Jasper and Emmett snickered.
It was just like one big family. It was perfect. All the years of being alone were almost forgotten. I had a new family and I loved ever one of them.
Our laughter was interrupted by a warning bell, signalling lunch would be over in two minutes.
I sighed. Time to get this over and done with. Although I acted like this was going to be a piece of cake, I really didn’t want to be the centre of attention again. The only reason I agreed was it meant more Edward time.
Edward noticed my sigh and squeezed my hand reassuringly before letting go and standing up.
The rest of us followed suit, Jazz, Ali, Em and Rose throwing their props into the trash before we all walked out into the corridor of busy students.
“We’ll see you after school then.” Alice said, smiling brightly.
“Okay. See you later.” I answered and we all set off to our lockers, mine unfortunately being right next to Mike’s. Who just happened to be standing waiting for me.
“Hi Bella!” he said with fake happiness. I saw a muscle in his face twitch.
“Hi Mike.” I answered rather dryly. He looked like he had more to say, but my chest was aching from being away from Edward, ensuring I wasn’t in the best of moods.
I quickly grabbed my biology stuff and slammed the locker closed, eager to be back with Edward.
“Uh, Bella?” asked Mike after taking a deep breath. I so wasn’t in the mood for this. It didn’t help that I knew exactly what he was going to ask.
“Yeah, Mike?”
“I was just, um, wondering if you were free on Saturday night. I was thinking we could catch a movie or something?” he asked. You would think after so many times he would have gotten over his nerves.
“Oh, I’m sorry Mike. Edward asked me to go out with him this weekend.” I said, smiling vindictively. I knew I was being rude, but really, how many times did I need to say no?
“Oh...well, okay then. You and Cullen huh?” his face turned to a grimace but I could see some malice in his eyes. I hoped he didn’t try anything, he might get hurt.
“Yeah.” I answered, smiling like a girl on her first date. “I’m really looking forward to it.”
With that, I turned on my heel and left.
