Chapter Two: First Day

“Ugh, this part is what I hate the most,” Alice groaned as she looked at her class schedule. “It’s so boring taking the same classes every time we go back to school.”

We had ten منٹ before our first گھنٹہ started, so all of us were comparing schedules. Edward and I did have all of our classes together, so I could breathe easy. Nessie was in our Spanish, Algebra and English classes. Alice had every single class with her though so we were able to relax knowing she would be watched after. Surprisingly Ness didn’t seem nervous at all.

“I can’t wait for classes to start. I mean, I know all of this already but I get to interact with all these students. I’ve never been in a formal school setting before,” she gushed and grabbed my arm excitedly. سے طرف کی the way she was acting آپ would think we kept her locked up in the basement during all of her growing up years.

“Trust me, it isn’t that exciting,” Edward کہا with an amused smile touching his lips. “You’ll be bored سے طرف کی the tedium before the first semester is over.”

“Stop being so negative, da… um, Edward,” Nessie cringed. “That is going to be so weird, I don’t know if I can call آپ guy سے طرف کی your names.”

“It might sound strange if آپ call us mom and dad,” I کہا quietly enough that no one around us could have heard what I said. She cracked up, laughing so hard she had to hold her stomach.

“That’s true, we might get some funny looks,” she admitted. “So, how are آپ guys supposed to act? I mean, isn’t it weird if آپ all act like couples?”

I looked at Edward, I didn’t really know this either. I never would have known that Alice and Jasper had been together if someone hadn’t told me when I first met the Cullen’s. Were we allowed to be “together” یا did we need to act like cousins?

“I’m not sure, I’ve never exactly done this before either,” Edward reminded me. “My siblings were never overly affectionate while at school but they don’t ignore each other either. I guess we should just play it سے طرف کی ear.”

I nodded, this made sense. We would have to see what our schoolmates were like before we could decide how to go about our individual relationships. The گھنٹی, بیل rang just then and I jumped nervously. Nessie laughed at me and patted me on the shoulder. “That was just the bell. I guess we better get to class.”

I reached for Edward’s hand but let my own drop to my side. How was I going to last through the دن without touching him at all? Panic filled me and I was grateful I didn’t need to breathe because the air wouldn’t come. “Bella?”

I looked up into Edward’s familiar face and saw the worry etched in it. “Are آپ coming to class?” he asked quietly. I nodded mutely and followed him, Nessie and Alice into our first class of the day, Spanish.

It was a bit of a relief that we were starting on the actual first دن of school so we didn’t have to worry about being introduced as new students in each class. I didn’t think I could handle that pressure right now. Edward took a نشست اگلے to me and Renesmee sat on the other side. I felt a little مزید comfortable knowing I was surrounded سے طرف کی family. The سیکنڈ گھنٹی, بیل sounded and our teacher, Mr. Bates stood up at the front of the class.

“Welcome everyone to Freshman Spanish. I hope everyone has as much fun learning this subject as I do teaching it…” he began with a smile. “I’m going to call role. As a side note, remember your seats because the one’s آپ pick today will be your assigned نشست for the rest of the semester.”

I breathed a sigh of relief, I hated assigned seating. Edward winked at me and my insides fluttered. Renesmee touched my hand and I looked over at her. “Stop flirting with dad and pay attention,” she thought and then released my hand. I grinned at her and shrugged in a helpless way, as if to say “I just can’t help myself.” She rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the teacher. As I had expected, when our names were called everyone stared at us curiously, wondering who we were and how we could be so incredibly beautiful. I couldn’t help myself; I felt a thrill of pleasure at the thought that I was finally as beautiful as the rest of my vampire family.

I was also glad that I had begun studying languages with Edward a few years ago. I was now fluent in Spanish, French and German and we were beginning work on Italian. Renesmee had liked to sit in during our language lessons and she had picked them up quicker than I did. As Mr. Bates handed out packs of Spanish flash cards to each student I smiled to myself. I had never been in the position as Edward and his other siblings, being able to go to a class and not have to worry about paying much attention because آپ already knew the material. It was a nice feeling and it gave me مزید time to gaze at the face I already knew so well. Edward smiled back at me, as unable to look away from me as I was to him.

“Ms. Swan, can آپ tell me what the translation of ventana?” Mr. Bates asked from the front of the room.

I tore my gaze away from Edward and smiled nervously, “Ventana, that would be a window,” I answered.

Mr. Bates nodded and looked at Edward. “Mr. Cullen, can آپ give me the translation of castigar?”

Edward’s lips twitched and he nodded, “Castigar would be to punish someone.”

The teacher looked at both of us with a curious expression on his face and then he returned to calling other students, seeing if they were using their flash cards. “What was that about?” I asked Edward as quietly as I could.

“He noticed that we weren’t paying attention so he asked us words that aren’t in our flash cards… with me he threw in a verb. He is very interested in us, so I suppose we better pay attention in class,” Edward replied. I grimaced, I hated attracting extra attention.

Soon enough the class was over and we were able to pick up our bags and head to our اگلے class. Mr. Bates had other ideas. “Mr. Cullen and Ms. Swan, could آپ stay for a moment please?”

I grimaced and walked to the front of the room with my backpack slung over my shoulder. “Is there a problem Mr. Bates?” I asked as nonchalantly as I could. Edward arrived at my side and touched my shoulder briefly. I was grateful for the contact, no matter how brief it was.

“No, I was just curious about something. I know your family is new to town and when آپ answered my سوالات without hesitation I wondered if آپ have taken some Spanish classes before now,” he said.

Relief washed through me, he wasn’t getting after us for being absorbed in each other. “We were ہوم schooled up until this year, we studied foreign languages as well as the general subjects,” Edward explained, “Bella however has been in boarding schools and they tend to give آپ a very well rounded education.”

I tried not to gape at my husband as he lied smoothly to our teacher. “That makes sense, well; آپ better head to your اگلے class. آپ don’t want to be late on your first day,” Mr. Bates کہا quietly and ushered us from the room.

“Edward, how do آپ come up with these stories off the سب, سب سے اوپر of your head?” I asked as we headed to our Algebra class. He grinned and shrugged in a bored sort of way.

“After years of practice I don’t even have to hesitate,” he reminded me. He looked so beautiful in that moment that I longed to لپیٹ, لفاف کریں my arms around him, consequences be damned. Unfortunately we reached our اگلے class and I no longer had the chance.

The Algebra class passed in much the same way as our Spanish class. When the role was called people stared at us and I spent an گھنٹہ listening to something I already knew well. I understood why the Cullen’s hated school, it was just hours of listening to repetitive information taught سے طرف کی different people. I had to resist the urge to yawn. Renesmee on the other hand was so intrigued سے طرف کی the whole experience that she hung on the teacher’s every word. I nudged Edward and nodded toward Renesmee. A soft smile spread across his face as he looked at his ecstatic daughter. We shared a quick look and then returned to jotting down notes on the FOIL method.

The rest of the morning went سے طرف کی slowly, each class as dull as the next. Finally it was time for lunch and we joined Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper at a large میز, جدول at the end of the cafeteria. “So, Nessie, how are آپ enjoying school?” Rosalie asked as she gave my daughter a tight hug.

“I love it, the teachers are so interesting… even if they don’t really understand what they teach,” she کہا and her brow furrowed, “How can they teach if they don’t understand?”

“You know, I’ve been trying to figure that one out for years,” Emmett کہا and laughed his برداشت, ریچھ like laugh.

“They don’t even have all the information right. Ms. Harper, the English teacher کہا that one of the quotes was anonymous, but it was actually Faulkner,” she complained. We all started laughing and she sighed.

“You know what آپ could do?” Alice asked as we got into line to buy the food we wouldn’t eat.

“What?” Renesmee responded curiously.

“My third time through high school I realized how much the teachers were getting wrong so I started writing down every mistake they made and correcting it. I actually have a book full of all of those mistakes, just from those four years. It’s enormous; I’ll have to find it for آپ tonight. I just thought آپ might have some fun with a project like that,” Alice suggested. Renesmee grinned brightly.

“Only آپ would suggest something like that, Alice,” she کہا affectionately, “It’s a great idea though. I think I’ll start that after lunch, thanks.”

I listened to the conversations around me and tried not to let myself fall into the depression that had been threatening me all morning. It was so easy for the rest of my family to act like humans, but the only thing that made me feel human was loving Edward and I wasn’t allowed to do that. I looked longingly at him, standing in front of me in the lunch line. As if he felt the heat of my gaze he turned slightly and locked eyes with me. I could see the same desire and longing in his eyes and it made me feel a little bit better. Not enough to be able to handle the rest of the دن without touching him, but enough to smile at the lunch lady and grab an سیب, ایپل and milk.

Renesmee seemed to be having مزید trouble picking her lunch because she was the only one who could actually eat something. “Um… I guess I’ll take the ٹماٹر سوپ and a coke,” she کہا nervously. The lunch lady smiled at her.

“Aren’t آپ a pretty little thing?” she asked as she handed Nessie her lunch. Ness flushed bright گلابی and shrugged.

“My parents seem to think so,” she کہا and winked at Edward and I. Edward hid his laugh in a cough and I patted his back just for an excuse to touch him. He wasn’t fooled for a second, his eyes burned into mine and I knew there was no way either of us were going to make it through the rest of the day.

“We pretend to eat lunch quickly and head out to the car,” he muttered softly enough that only I could hear him. I nodded fervently and waited until he paid for everyone’s lunch.

We headed over to the میز, جدول where we had left our school bags. I sat beside Edward and opened my bottle of milk, just to keep my fingers busy while my mind raced. I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about a few منٹ from now when I could touch Edward as much as I wanted. I wanted to feel his lips on my skin, his hands on my body. I lifted the shield from my mind and let Edward see what I was thinking. I knew the exact moment when he caught my thoughts because I heard his sharp intake of breath. I looked up from my lunch and into his eyes. It was a big mistake.

The heat in his gaze was enough to set me on fire. My body tingled with anticipation and hunger, echoing everything I saw in his eyes. The only thing that could have stopped me from jumping his bones right there in the lunch room was Alice, rushing up to me with a mixture of alarm and amusement on her face. “If آپ don’t leave this cafeteria right now they are going to throw all of us out of school,” she warned as soon as she was close enough to me. I nodded and fled the cafeteria as fast as I could without gathering unwanted attention.

I got to the parking lot, found Edward’s car and leaned against it. What in the heck was wrong with me? Didn’t I have better control of myself than this? Edward and I had gone days without making love, well… okay, so that had only been when Renesmee was a baby and we were terrified the Volturri were going to kill us and we had been too busy to think about it. Honestly though, why couldn’t think of anything else? Was it the fact that we weren’t allowed to that was killing me, یا was there something else going on?
“Bella…” Edward whispered my name a fraction of a سیکنڈ before wrapping his arms around me and crushing me to his chest. He unlocked the car in record time and we fell into the backseat, closing the door behind us. The last coherent thought I had was being so incredibly glad that Edward had parked under a درخت because the shade made it almost impossible to see inside the car.

His lips were hot and hungry on mine, his hand found the hem of my شرٹ, قمیض and the moment he touched my bare skin I moaned into his mouth. I couldn’t remember the last time I had been this eager to touch him. I always loved the feel of his skin against mine, even just the warmth of his hand in mine, but this was different. I felt like I would combust unless he touched me. I didn’t know if my shield was lifted یا if Edward just knew me well enough to know exactly what I needed.

The moment his hand slipped under my bra I gasped into his mouth and Edward took advantage of my open mouth to slip his tongue between my lips. I let my tongue curl around his, loving the smoothness of it. His thumb brushed my nipple and I came off the seat, pressing myself harder into his hand. It was Edward’s turn to groan, my loss of all inhibitions with him always turned him on مزید than any way I could touch him. I wrapped my legs around his waist, forcing his arousal against me.

“How much time do we have?” I asked breathlessly. Edward turned to check the clock on the dashboard and swore.

“We have about ten منٹ until our اگلے class starts and though آپ look even مزید beautiful than ever, I don’t think Alice would appreciate the thoroughly aroused look,” he smiled down at me, extricating himself from my arms and legs. I swore too and sat up with a little help from Edward.

“How bad do I look?” I asked, cringing at the thought of Alice’s looks when we got back to class. He turned me around so I was sitting on his lap and he smoothed my riotous curls back into a loose ponytail again.

“You look sexy,” he whispered and pressed a kiss to the back of my neck. “Alice and Renesmee have our book bags. They are going to meet us at the front doors since they don’t have the same schedule as we do after lunch.”

I didn’t want to leave the car but I knew if we didn’t go back to class it would look suspicious. “Promise me that when we get ہوم tonight we are going to lock our door and refuse to come out until school starts tomorrow morning,” I groaned.

He chuckled and pushed me out of the car. “If I didn’t intend to do that then we wouldn’t be going back to class right now,” he promised. I nodded and we walked back to the school building, not touching but desperately wanting to.

Alice wasn’t glaring at me like I expected, her look was sympathetic. I assumed she had seen how our lunch had ended. She confirmed that when she handed me my backpack and leaned into whisper in my ear. “I’ll make sure no one bothers آپ guys tonight.”

“Thank you,” I whispered back. “Did anyone say anything about us leaving?”

Alice shook her head, “Emmett and Rosalie wouldn’t dare. They used to skip lunch to enjoy each other’s company all the time.”

I felt better when she told me about Emmett and Rosalie, if they had skipped lunch like this than there wasn’t anything wrong with me. I was probably just reacting to the stress of the first دن at school. I smiled at her, “Thanks, Alice. See آپ after school.”

I hugged Renesmee quickly and then followed Edward to our Geography class. Like our morning classes we sat together in a back corner of the room and pretended to pay attention while the teacher droned on about things we already knew.

I thought Edward was taking diligent notes until he passed a piece of paper to me.

آپ are getting really good at un-shielding your mind so I can hear your thoughts. I was wondering if all that practicing was going to pay off.

I smiled to myself and grabbed my pencil, hurrying my reply.

Which practicing are آپ referring to, my shield practice یا the مزید enjoyable making love kind?

Edward grinned wickedly as he read my reply.

Well, now that آپ mention it, I think we haven’t been practicing enough. I’m sorry about lunch, I should have checked the time before I left the cafeteria.

It wasn’t your fault, Edward. I don’t know what came over me at lunch.

Whatever it was, I hope it happens again.

No, seriously, I’m a little worried. I’ve never lost control like that before, even when I was a newborn. Do آپ think there is something wrong with me?

Honestly, Bella, آپ are perfect. It’s the first دن of school, I’m sure it’s just nerves یا something.

All right, I’ll try to relax. It’s probably a good thing I can’t sleep یا else I wouldn’t be able to stay awake in these boring classes!

Now آپ know how I have felt for the past eighty years.

Ha Ha! I guess it’s a good thing we have something to look آگے to tonight. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to stand this.

The tedium gets boring after a few years, but when I have آپ to look at it makes it worth it.

Yeah, but we can’t touch each other can we? I swear it’s going to kill me.

Trust me, you’ll survive.

I read his last تبصرہ and I stuck my tongue out at him childishly. I may have been nearing thirty mentally but my body was still that of an eighteen سال old and at times it seemed to act on its own. Edward chuckled and turned his attention back to the teacher. I tucked our note into my backpack and attempted to pay attention for the remainder of the hour.

The afternoon seemed to drag longer than the morning did. Every time Edward looked at me I felt my body go up in flames. It got so bad that I had no idea what our last two classes of the دن were. I answered سوالات that I was asked but it was مزید an automatic response. All I could really think about was getting Edward ہوم and ripping his clothes off with my teeth… very carefully of course. I didn’t want to hurt him.

When the final گھنٹی, بیل rang Edward and I found the rest of the family out on the park benches in front of the school. Alice rushed up to my side and dragged me away from hearing distance of the others, though I knew Edward would be listening in via Alice’s mind. “Bella, are آپ okay?” she asked quickly.

I looked up into her eyes and she gasped at what I’m sure was wild desperation. “I just need to get ہوم and touch my husband,” I کہا hoarsely. She nodded, but there was still some worry in her eyes.

“Let’s get ہوم then.”

I couldn’t have agreed with her مزید because suddenly Edward was at my side, his eyes burning with the same need that were in mine. “Do آپ want to run home?” he asked. I knew he was really asking if I wanted to sit in the cramped car with the family یا run off some of the sexual energy that was burning through me.

“Give the keys to Rosalie and let’s run,” I urged. He grinned and sprinted toward Rosalie. He quickly explained our plan and Rosalie nodded, holding her hand out for the keys. He dropped them into her hand, gave Nessie a quick hug and loped back over to me.

“Ready?” he asked. I nodded; I couldn’t say anything but Edward seemed to understand. “Come one, let’s go.”
