I was Bella and Edward was taking turns with Emmett to drive me to school. We were all chatting in the car. When Edward was driving, I was nervous of how fast he drove. When Edward was sitting next to me in the car, I taunted him, kissing his neck and generally getting physical, knowing how hard it was for him both as a man and a vampire. All I wanted was to be like him and I was determined to get what I want. I remember how cold his skin was. When I arrived at school and went to class, there was an important graded assignment that needed to be handed in and checked by the teacher. For some reason there was a bar in school and I was talking to a classmate how impossible it was for me to imagine dependency on alcohol and how overrated it is. Then I handed in my assignment for the teacher. It was a folder full of photos. The theme was something like vulnerability or courage. The teacher criticized me for the amount of monochrome pictures. There were a few pictures of children that were tricky to take. Then there was the last picture with me and Edward, where we're in a position as if to kiss, but he's holding back and expressing agony/pain on his face. The teacher was very impressed and asked if it was real. I confirmed that's me and my boyfriend. Then for some reason she told me about how it reminded her of a historical figure in Italy during the Renaissance, about a man who refused to swear loyalty to Pope Alexander aka Rodrigo Borgia and brought shame to his noble family, who exiled him, until he eventually became known as a street bum and a fool, but who still openly criticized the Italian government and gave blankets to homeless children in the winter.
