I woke up and rubbed my hands down my face. I set my hands down on the pillow and turned my head to look at the time. I prayed I had time to God I didn't have to get up yet. It wasn't even six thirty yet. I went to lay back down when I heard someone shout my name. I wondered when they were going to realize I am more human than them. Given I was still strong, fast, and I was kinda hard to kill. I still needed sleep and food , not blood. I also hand a gift , though, one that was very rare. I could copy other people's gifts and keep them. Anyway, sleep was one of my favorite things to do, and it always got ruined.
" Lexi, you lay back down and so help me,'' Alice ,of course, why wouldn't she ruin my fun.
" I'm up, I'm up," I repeated as I pushed myself off the bed. I stood up and tried to balance myself. When I was okay I walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
Minutes passed and when I got out I saw someone in my room. I wrapped a towel around me and opened the bathroom door and saw the pixie shifting through my closet. I sighed and walked out to sit on my bed.
" I know you want to sleep in,'' she started, " like all the time. But it's a school day,'' She said leaving my closet with an outfit in hand.
" Can't I just skip?'' I asked with a groan.
" No. Absolutely not,'' she replied setting the outfit down next to me, " when dressed yell for me and I'll do your makeup.''
With that she walked out of my room and sighed. I didn't know what was so important that she wanted to go to school this bad. I looked out the outfit and sighed, why does she like doing this to me, I thought. I put it on neither the less.
" Alice!" I yelled when I was done. She walked back into my room not seconds later.
She smiled and clapped her hands, " Now sit down and let me do my work.''
After a half hour of what felt like torture and ran down stairs and hid behind Emmett and Edward in the kitchen, with Rose next to Emmett. Mom smiled at that , though, she loved how close I was to the rest of them. Alice came down after. She stood in front of the two boys with her arms crossed.
" You two encourage this, I hope you know,'' She said angrily.
Emmett laughed with a smile, " if she doesn't want to get dressed up then don't make her,'' he tried to reason with her. Good luck with that, I thought causing Edward to laugh.
" She's a girl, boys, she should like this stuff. But no instead she hangs with you two and Jazz,'' she ranted looking for help from Mom, " And look what happened you've turned her away from everything that is in the girls genetic code.''
" Alice I think you're being dramatic,'' Rose said, " I mean I don't like getting my makeup done or shopping or anything else you like to.''
" Exactly!''she yelled.
" Okay how about all you stopped before you're late for school,'' Mom said. Mom was on my side more often than not. So I usually got away with running from Alice. The pixie nodded and walked away. I sighed when she was out ear shot. I stepped out from behind my brothers.
" Thank you both,'' I said hugging them.
" Sweetheart, try and be nicer to Alice,'' Mom said setting food down in front of me.
I took a bite of food before I spoke, " I am nice to her.''Edward and Emmett laughed because you could barely understand what I said.
" Don't talk with your mouth full. And she thinks of you as her little sister,'' Mom tried to reason, which she was highly good at.
" No she thinks of me as a dress up doll,'' I countered getting a nod of agreement from Rose.
Mom sighed knowing I was right this time. Alice did take things a little far, " All right. I'll ask her to dial back a little. Now eat your food.''
I finished and grabbed my book bag, " Have a good day. Lex if you're going to the Rez call first.''
I saluted and walked out to Emmett and Rose's car. I hoped in the the back as Rose drove off To Fork's high. I could help but think everything would change after this.
