I walked down the street to Nubleton, thinking about our misfortune the
whole way. Why did we have to move here? Where the only schools we could go to were private, and NOT co-ed. Alice, Nessie, Rose and I all went Oak Knoll. Edward, Emmet, Jacob, and Jasper all went to Nubleton, the boys school.
I could have ran home, but I liked to walk to Edward's school, and he was
always really happy to see me there. It wasn't far... just three blocks. All the other girls usually took Alice's Porshe home, so I was alone.
When I stepped through the doors of Nubleton, I was surrounded by whispers, reveling about my beauty. I was used to it now. In the begining it had been really annoying. I reached Edwards locker, and landed a quick kiss on his cheek. He looked up, and smiled my favorite crooked smile. He took my school bag from me, and we walked to his Volvo.
As we walked through the parking lot, I saw Emmet and Jasper in the Jeep, and Jacob on his motorcycle. Emmet was smiling, and I knew what was going on… he was going to play a prank on us, well I was ready for anything her could throw at me, I was still stronger, and I streached my shield out to cover Edward.
"What are Emmet and Jasper thinking?" I asked Edward in a soft voice that only he could hear.
"Well, unlike everyone else who are wondering if they have a chance with you…" he sounded annoyed, "Emmett is thinking about…" he paused "Well he is trying to translate 'Fergalicious' into Spanish, but can't figure out how to say Fergalicious… and Jasper is thinking about Alice…" I nodded, Emmett was keeping Edward out of his mind. Just then, as we turned around the corner, we saw Edward's car. Which happened to be bright pink. Yes, pink. Edward swore under his breath, and I hoped he wouldn't expose us in this parking lot full of humans. But he just growled, and handed me the keys. "It's your car." He muttered. And he got into the passenger seat. What he didn't notice, was that Emmet had written 'EDWARD'S CAR' on the bumper.
Edward kicked Emmet's ass. As Rose and I painted it back to silver, I heard Edward swearing, and growls from both sides. I really didn't want to know.
When Edward was done, we went hunting together. We both found a few mountain lions, this area of Canada was full of them. We both drank until we were full. His eyes now a molten gold, as were mine. They had finally turned gold. It was hard to have my eyes red, always having to wear contacts, which blurred my vision. We stepped inside the main house and walked to the living room, hand-in-hand. Suddenly, everyone jumped out and yelled "Surprise!" Edward was grinning, he knew what was going on, but I had no idea.
Alice came up and hugged me, "Happy Birthday Bella!" she squeaked.
"What's going on?" I asked, then comprehension struck. "You can't celebrate my birthday! I DON'T AGE!" I had had it with Alice's little schemes.
"Of course not silly! But today you WOULD have been twenty!" Alice still hadn't calmed down. "Please! Please! Please! We already got you presents! Edward wants you to! PLEASE?" Edward hissed at the sound of his name. "Oh calm down Edward! You know it's the truth!"
I saw Edward's expression, and put a hand on his chest, trying to calm him. "Fine Alice!" I hissed.
"Yay!" she squealed and she ran over to the stack of neatly wrapped gifts. "Open mine Bella! Please?" she handed me a thick package. I opened it and inside was one of the most beautiful dresses I had ever seen. It was strapless, and dark blue, It looked like It would go down to the middle of my thighs. Over the blue satin was a very ornate, delicate, half see-through lace, which was a shade lighter than the rest of the dress. "I designed it myself, and I thought the color would look good with your skin…" She trailed off, doubting her skills.
"Alice! It's beautiful. Thank you so much!"
"You can wear it to the prom!" She squealed.
I looked up at Edward, who had been silent, but there was a slight smile on his lips.
"So what did YOU get me?" I asked. He grinned, and kissed me.
"I forgot."
