Clouds
Like everything else in the world…weather is unpredictable. Even the sunniest place gets an afternoon drizzle and even the most overcast of skies sees a bit of sun.
Bella shuffles out the cafeteria and looks around for her friends outside in the school courtyard. She sees Mike and Jessica sitting at a picnic table. At the table next to them sits Edward and Alice. No real question here...why hang out with people who like you for you when you can hang out with a guy that just lusts after the smell of your blood and his sister who is your friend because basically...with her telepathy...it's inevitable.
"Hi, Edward." Bella whispers.
"Hi, Bella." Edward growls.
"The meatloaf smells really good today." Bella whispers softlier.
"Not as good as your blood." Edward snarls.
"Oh, Edward...you say the most romantic things." Bella simpers.
Bella sits down at the table and starts to eat her delicious meatloaf. As the wind starts to pick up a little there is a breeze that skirts across her arms. Bella shivers a bit and moves closer to her ice cold undead boyfriend. Her right arm is so cold at this point she starts to Google hypothermia on her phone. All of a sudden the wind blows a cloud out of the way of the sun and the warm rays beat down on Bella's face. First, relief at the cold being swept away and then terror as the courtyard starts to scream. What is going on?
Next to Bella, Edward snarls and bears his vampire canines. What is he doing? Oh my god, he can't show everyone his teeth!
Bella turns to Edward and yells "Stop it, what are you doing? Everyone is going to know if you don't get out of here."
Edward turns to her with an evil smile. "Everyone already knows Bella...the sun came out and we are sparkling- people don't sparkle like this...HUMAN people don't sparkle like this. We might as well get a good meal out of it before we have to leave town." Edward rears back with a laugh and swoops down to tear a chunk out of her beautiful, pale neck.
