~THIRD POV~

Ayame woke up and was extremely happy to see Edward holding her preciously. Snuggling deeper into his chest, he couldn't help but smile and kiss her head.

After breakfast, Edward is walked to his Volvo with Ayame. They told her about letting her stay home, and she didn't hesitate to agree. As Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett were already in their cars, Edward is the last one. Leaning in, Ayame kisses Edward goodbye as she watched their cars disappear down the drive. It was the best for Ayame, best for her emotions.

~BELLA'S POV~

The entire week that Edward was gone, Ayame would not even turn her head my way when we would walk in the same hallway. She was avoiding me, not interested in me. Her siblings were glaring at me and things were getting really strange. Little did I expect the coming Monday was gonna be a weird day.

~EDWARD'S POV~

The day was long and torturous. How do I know? Because I had suggested to Carlisle that my mate should stay home Monday to avoid my annoying, disgusting blood singer.

Unfortunately, you heard me right. I said 'annoying, disgusting, blood singer'. Cause that is all I see when I look at Isabella Swan. Or, Bella as she likes to be called. But I could care less.

I could smell her coming into Bio with Eric. He was droning on and on about the music for prom, he was thinking about asking her. However, Mike burst in and interrupted like a dick. A true man wouldn't interrupt another man courting a woman. But in this new generation, these 'men' or boys, are all just assholes. As Emmett stated.

I could feel her look up and see me as her took in a breath. She saw that I was here, and Ayame wasn't. God Damn, I wish I could read her mind.

~BELLA'S POV~ (P.S. I hate this POV)

"Miss Swan." Mr. Molina spoke, snapping me out of my thoughts. "I regret to say, Ms. Hope is not here today. And your partner is also out today. So, I want you to take Ms. Hope's seat for today. But when she gets back you'll go back to your original seat."

"Alright." I nod, then head to the empty seat.

"Hello." Edward said stern, like he was hiding his anger.

"Damn. What did I do?" I thought curious.

"I didn't get to introduce myself last week." He continues. "My name is Edward Cullen."

"His voice is so strong. So beautiful, handsome. There's no way this is real." I thought.
