Fifth Grade

The biggest smile crossed my face as I read my progress report card. Seven straight A's, I looked over my shoulder at Alice's and it read five B's and two A's. Just nine weeks into this school year and it was already looking up. Why was I so afraid of the fifth grade?

All I kept hearing was the work was so hard and that the teachers were so mean! But I got the exact opposite. The work was super easy and the teachers were nice enough.

"Alice, this year is way easier then expected." I whispered, she nodded in reply. The smiles never left our face, not even Emmett. Who made five D's, a F, and an A. Having only one F was actually really great for Emmett. And I don't count the A he made because it is in physical education.

When the bell signaled for lunch I am always the first one out of the class room. I rush because now that we're in a higher grade Edward eats lunch before everyone else, and before lunch starts. So, I'm always trying to see him before they have to leave.

Powering walking down the halls I see a hint of bronze just leaving the cafeteria. As soon as his face comes into view a smile crosses his face in an instant as does mine.

We weren't allowed to hug, or hold hands so I always wave. But today he grabbed my hands and just smiled at me. Smiling at him but quickly letting go before we got into trouble like we did last time. A blush slowly crept onto my face as he was reluctant to let go. When we did release hands, it made me so sad that we had to leave each other for the rest of the day.

Stepping into the cafeteria I decided to hold the gangs spots. Normally I didn't lunch so I pulled out the latest book I'm in the middle of reading. It's called A Boy Called It. It's a really powerful, fast read, and sad book. I had to beg and plead to my dad just to get it. He said it was too mature for me but I feel his expectations should be a little higher for me. He knows that I'm the most mature person in my whole class.

The sound of chairs scraping against the tiled floor brought me out of my thoughts. The gang were sitting in different spots then usual today. Usually, they all sit with their boy/girlfriends. But today it was the girls by me and the guys sat by each other.

Deciding against saying my thoughts out loud I just went back to reading my book.

"Um...Earth to Bella!" Rose and Alice screamed in both my ears.

"Yes? I asked highly annoyed and quite confused as to why they were being so pushy.

"Finally we've been calling you for like, forever!" Rose complained. Well, that explains as to why they yelled in my ears.

"Well, anyway Bella we would like to re inform you that today is infactly Friday, and we moved the time up to an hour. That's okay right? Cause my mommy wants to take us out to a movie. But she just wants us to try it and see if we like it, and if we don't like it as much as my house, then we'll just stick with staying at my house." Alice informed like a mile a minute, when she talks you have to pay distinct attention or you may miss something really important.

"You guys, my mom says that we can have Fridays at her house as well if we wanted too. That way Mrs. Brandon won't have to put up with us every week or something like that. And she just wants to see you guys again." Emmett quickly interrupted Alice's babble.

"Well, I say we do both ideas, we do the movie thing to day, and next week we'll go to Emmett's house." I quickly compromised before we went too deep into that conversation. I really want to get back to reading my story.

As soon as those words left my lips I quickly indulged myself into my book again. But I heard Alice whisper "And she's gone again."

I couldn't help the giggle that escaped my lips turning my face at least 3 shades of pink to red. I can not help that I get into my books.

The lunch bell rang too quickly for me. We all rose from our table and went back to class to learn about some type of English author. I wasn't paying enough attention to remember.

When school let out I went to Edwards class to wait for him to come out. I saw my daddy's police car pull into the parking lot and got even more anxious about today. First I had sign language class with Edward, then I had movie/sleep over time with my best friends. I don't know if this day could get any better!

When Edward walked out of class I quickly grabbed his hand and brought it to mine. I smiled up at him as his bronze hair seemed to become more of a disarray with the breeze.

Looking up at his face he still had his scar from third grade. He never told me exactly what happened; I just hope it goes away soon. It's like a crescent moon on surrounding the end of his eyebrow. It doesn't make him any less beautiful but it just seems to be an eyesore.

Sitting inside daddy's car, he seem to have a lot on his mind. Like he was thinking very deeply on something. So I knew it would be a silent car ride on the way to sign language class.

I must have fallen asleep because I woke up with Edward and Daddy's face close to mine, scaring me half to death. They both busted out into laughter...I must have had a funny look on my face because they kept laughing for a good five minutes.

"Bye Daddy, see you later." I quickly waved and kissed him on the cheek.

"Bye baby girl, have fun." Daddy replied giving me a kiss on the cheek back.

Edward grabbed my hand and let me into class.

Class went by so fast, I wish it could have lasted longer. I love having my time with Edward. It is always I have a sleepover to get ready for...Which all I needed to bring was nothing because I basically lived at Alice's house. So all I need to do was shower and grab my bear.

When I stepped out of the shower I heard Alice's high-pitched voice coming from downstairs. So I quickly sprinted down the stairs and attempted to run into her. Now when I say attempted I mean tripped over air right before I got to her.

The whole group was here, excluding Edward, and everyone was laughing at me. Once again my face turned three different shades of pink I was so embarrassed.

"Okay kids, lets get going so we can catch the movie." Mrs. Brandon excitingly explained. I was so excited about today that I quickly grabbed my bear and the first one out of the house.

Which once again caused them to laugh at me again. But it didn't matter to me because I knew that this was going to be an almost perfect night, and a great rest of the year.

Sorry it took me so long to update you guys. It'll probably be like that for awhile, or at least until my stress level goes down. I started to write again because I was so upset about keeping you guys waiting and I knew I needed to update. So I hope you guys loved this chapter better then the last. I'm going to most likely be skipping every other grade until their in high school, then each grade will probably get 3 or 4 chapters. Just because at that age I can use better vocabulary. As you can see in this chapter it's hard for me to think like a 5th grader lol. So please update and I don't own A Child Called It nor do I own the twilight series. But I do recommend you reading A Child Called it. I read it in 6th grade. It's a great but sad book. Thanks you guys, I hope you enjoyed it :
-Revelations 22:12-13 3 you guys
