It was the end of the year. I was so excited to finish high school yet, sad in a way. Another year passed by. I was a year older than Edward, in a way. I walked out the door in my dress for Graduation. Alice made me wear another little dress that she bought for me. I guess it was nice, it was a little…flashy…more of something Rosalie would wear, but I didn't want to upset Alice. So I wore it.
"You look nice today," Edward smiled his crooked smile, "Not that that's any different from any other day. By the way, remind me to thank Alice once again for her lovely sense of fashion."
I looked deep into his eyes. He looked amused, but also sad. He knew what was coming today. He knew there would be a change. He knew that he would not see me blush again. He would not feel my warm, soft skin. It would be replaced with cold, hard skin. He knew he would never see me cry, or have to remind me to eat. I could tell by looking into his troubled eyes that he was upset.
"Are you coming or do you need to wash your hair once more before we leave?"
He was making fun of me for the last time that we went out and I washed my hair three times before I could say that I was ready.
"I'm coming," I scowled at him, but he just laughed.
When we got to the school, we met up with Alice. She was in a dress that looked almost like the one she had worn to Prom last year. This one was different though. It didn't reveal as much skin. It was a bit longer too. She looked taller in it, and it wasn't just the fact that she wore high heals. She had her hair in mini pig tails at the back; they were almost on the top of her head. She looked even more beautiful than the usual angelic picture of a girl from a fantasy story…if that was possible.
"Hey Bella!" she ran and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "You guys are finally here."
"Someone was taking there sweet time doing their make-up," he explained in an almost irritated tone.
"It's not my fault I am slower than you, that I can't move the speed of light. Not everyone is good at everything." He looked at me with an odd expression on his face. I looked carefully back into his and could tell the worry was not all gone yet. He still wanted me to change my mind. No. That was not going to happen.
"You guys show up late and then you just stand still? LET'S GO ALREADY!" Alice exclaimed annoyed.
