So here you go,my next attempt! I don't know how I will top my last story, Vampires in Vegas, but this should get a chuckle or two. First chapter is a bit dry, just getting things set. Bear with me. And please Review, review, review! It makes me write faster :) I'll do anything to get out of laundry...

For this story, all the Cullens and Bella are still in high school...

Mondays

I own nothing, Stephenie Meyer is the owner of all these amazing characters.

BPOV

Monday morning. I hate Monday mornings. Another week of school, papers, tests, and teachers. I laid in bed, refusing to get up, but then I realized if I didn't, as soon as Charlie left for work, Edward would be downstairs waiting for me and if I wanted to steal a few minutes with him before school, I better get my butt moving. With new found motivation, I threw off the covers and went to the bathroom to shower and get ready for school.

My shower didn't take long, but I was still running behind. I hurried back to my room and was having a clothing crisis when I heard a knock on the kitchen door downstairs. What was Edward doing? He never came in before Charlie left for the morning. Something must be wrong. As I frantically searched my room for my jeans, I heard Alice's sweet voice.

“Good morning Charlie. How are you today?”

“Fine Alice. You're here early. Where's Edward? Is he off camping again?” Charlie asked. More like he wished! He better not be camping, he didn't say anything to me last night before I fell asleep in his arms.

“No, he's out in the car. I figured Bella may not be ready yet since we're early, so he decided to wait out there. Do you mind if I go upstairs and hurry her up? We don't want to be late.” I heard Charlie say sure and then he yelled “Bye, Bella, I'm leaving for work. Alice is on her way up!”

“Bye dad.” I yelled while scurrying to find clothes. I had only seconds until Alice walked in and took command of dressing me for the day. Too late.

“Good morning sleepyhead! We thought you might decide to play hooky today. Did Edward keep you up late?” she said with a wink.

I rolled my eyes at her “I wish. No he was the perfect gentleman as always. That boy has such control, it's down right irritating!” I sounded annoyed, but really I was just amazed by his stubborness. Him and his rules...

Hands on my hips, I stood in front of my closet looking for something to wear. I had already wrestled into my jeans, I just couldn't find a top I liked. “Help” was all I had to say and Alice jumped up, without a second thought extended her hand into the closet and pulled out a shirt I had never seen before. “Wear this, it's perfect.”

The shirt was a jersey, halter top with an empire waist so the bottom flowed nicely. It was black with a wide, blue stripe up the middle. Part of me wondered if Alice came over when I was out with Edward and just added clothes to my closet without me knowing. Where did she find these things?

As always, I put the shirt on and it looked fantastic. “Good choice Alice. You just saved me 10 minutes of trying to decide what to wear. I'm ready now, let's go!”

With my sweater in hand, I grabbed my books, chugged a glass of Orange Juice and headed for the door. I saw the Volvo in the the driveway parked next to my truck. Edward was sitting in the driver's seat with the window down and the radio playing. When he saw me walking out of the house, he jumped out of the car to open my door for me. “Good morning Bella. I'm glad you finally decided to join me.” He leaned in and gave me a quick kiss.

“Be happy Alice helped get me dressed or you'd still be waiting! I really am not in the mood for school today.” Alice jumped in the back and I slid into the front seat.

“Oh Bella, I think today is going to be an extra exciting day at school.” Alice had that grin on her face and a sing song tone to her voice which meant that she was in on some big secret that the rest of us were probably going to hate.

Edward glanced back at her in his mirror “Care to let us in on it little psychic girl?”

Alice stuck her tongue out at him “No mister nosy I'm not. You will just have to wait and see like the rest of them.” Her arms crossed against her chest and she huffed back into her seat. It was obvious she was going to give up and more information, we'd find out soon enough.

The parking lot was full of cars already by the time we got there even with Edward's wild driving. Jasper was standing next to Rosalie's car, waiting to walk Alice to homeroom. Emmett and Rosalie were, of course, having a moment inside Rosalie's car. Edward laughed and walked over to the car. He tapped on the window “Break it up you two. We're going to be late.”

Emmett scowled at Edward as he got out of the car, Rose took a second to fix her hair and then emerged in all her glory. The bell rang, which caused people to start running for class. I leaned over and kissed Edward “See you at lunch. I love you.”

“I love you too. Have a good day.” He let go of my hand and started walking toward building one. I turned and headed in the opposite direction to building three.

Homeroom was just as boring as ever. We had to listen to announcements about how the school's baseball teams did last night against the West Side Gophers. Hooray we won. Birthday wishes to everyone born today blah, blah, blah. I had almost completely tuned the whole thing out when I heard “We have a special announcement for the Junior and Senior classes. This morning, you will report to the gym immediately after announcements for an important asembly. You will be excused from your first period class so report to the gym, now please. Thank you.” Cheers went up throughout the classroom. All twenty chairs scraped across the floor as we got up to leave.

I quickly ran to my locker and threw my books in there, I didn't feel like lugging them around the gym. As I closed my locker door, Edward appeared from around the corner. His smile still blew me away. I could look into his eyes all day. He leaned on the locker next to mine and said “I missed you.”

“I missed you too. Come on, let's get to the gym. I don't want to get there late and be stuck in the front row! Move it.” Understanding how bad it could be, he took my hand and led me to the gym. Angela and Ben ran past us, and gave a quick wave. I'm sure they were trying to get a good seat too.

Alice was waiting outside the doors, and she looked ready to burst. Edward and I exchanged glances. We knew whatever Alice was so excited about this morning was waiting on the other side of those doors. I took a deep breath, “I told you I hated Mondays...”

Boring Chapter I know...stetting the stage... hang in there:)
