Note: None of these characters are mine, obviously. I wrote this right when I woke up, so there will most likely be mistakes. Please point them out. This idea just sort of hit me, literally. Long story short, my dogs were fascinated with this pumpkin light up thing in my room and knocked it over hitting me in the head and waking me up. Enjoy!
This is before Bella comes to Forks.
Chapter 1: Monday [Edward's POV]I looked around and saw all the orange and black. I mentally groaned. It was Halloween week. Great. Now I'm going to have to endure five days of torture. And it's only MONDAY! I thought. Halloween was something humans took an interest into. Usually the younger ones dressed up and walked from home to home getting candy. The older kids, usually teens either tried doing that too, or went to parties. The adults pass out candy, or if they have kids, went with them, or threw parties of their own. It was all pointless. I saw a boy walk past me with plastic fangs in his mouth. Oh real mature.
An ear piercing beep sounded from the intercom. I heard Principal Greene's voice nearly shouting into his microphone from the office.
"Good morning everyone! As you all know, it's Halloween spirit week. Over the week you can dress up in orange and black, or a piece of your costume each day. On Friday, be sure to wear your whole costume or full out orange and black if your not dressing up. Whichever class that has the most points for dressing up by Friday gets to skip 6th period and have a mini Halloween party in the lunch room. And don't forget, Friday at six is our Halloween dance. Be sure to go!"
The static cut and I heard all the students' thoughts rushing towards my head at once.
I just can't wait-
I wonder if anyone else will dress up in a cat-
I really hope he asks me-
Who wants to bet that all those girls will dress up as-?
I shook my head trying to block them out as best as I could, but the last thought rang threw my head. Friday was going to be equally unbearable. Teenage girls, these days, decided that Halloween meant wearing low cut costumes or bits of lingerie pretending to be an animal. How disturbing it was. Of course Emmett loved this holiday. Rosalie liked to beat all the girls with showing off her body.
"What are you hearing today, ma brother?" Emmett's hand smacked my shoulder. If I were human, he would have made my arm soar over the heads of chatting students. I rubbed my shoulder it ached slightly.
"Humph." I said walking towards my first period.
"Aw, don't be like that. Aren't you the least bit excited for this week?"
I turned slightly so I could see Emmett out of the corner of my eye.
"Not really. What's the point?"
I saw Emmett shrug and grin wider.
"Well…"
I shuddered at his horrifying thoughts.
"You have no idea how much I wish I could vomit right now."
His booming laugh made every student within a mile radius of us jump.
"Halloween is only fun when you've got a girl to share it with. You sure your not gay?"
He jumped in front of me looking me down. I rolled my eyes. This again?
"Oh yes Emmett. I'm gay for you. Come over here and give me some love." I puckered my lips at him.
He aimed to hit me in the head, but I ducked in time hearing his thoughts.
"Just asking," he said.
I chuckled and turned into my class.
"Well now you know," I murmured knowing he could hear me.
I sat at my usual seat faintly hearing the teacher drown on and on about something I already knew. My mind was focused on Jasper at the moment. Fulfilling Alice's promise was extremely dull. What could I do if Jasper had a bad thought? It's not like I could rush to his class and drag him out without attracting attention, but I did it anyways. A promise was a promise.
The morning passed without much incidence. Jasper had a few bad thoughts but nothing horrible. I met with Alice and gave her the info.
"See, he's doing good!" she said bouncing up and down next to me in the lunch line.
I nodded and made my way to our table. She needed to stop deluding herself.
Emmett plopped down next to me, cuddling Rosalie. Today, she wore black leather pants that followed her every curve and a low cut orange top with sparkles going across the front. If any other girl tried to pull this off, they would fail miserably. Only Rosalie could manage this outfit making every girl in the room throw jealous thoughts toward her. She knew what the girls were thinking without asking me, her thoughts were smugger than usual.
"You know babe," Emmett said, "I can't wait for Halloween."
She giggled and twined her hand in his.
"I can't either," she whispered in his ear.
Alice mimed vomiting in her fruit. I pressed my lips together, trying not to laugh.
Jasper sat down next to her.
"You know, we should go to the dance."
I looked up at him. What?
"Why?" I asked.
He shrugged. "Seems fun. All the students are going."
Rosalie smiled. "We should go."
I threw a look at her hearing her thoughts. She only wanted more praise.
Alice smiled and kicked me under the table.
"I see no danger in going. Why not Edward?"
I glared at her. "Because it's pointless."
She shrugged her dainty shoulders. "Well, according to Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide-"
"Wait, what?" I interrupted.
"You know, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide? It's show, and he said-"
"No. I know what it is. Why are you mentioning it?"
"If you will let me finish I will tell you." She waited making sure I wasn't going to interrupt again.
"Right, well in one of the episodes they talked about Halloween and phases. Little kids go trick or treating, teenagers go pranking people or go to dances, and adults throw parties."
"Oh I saw that one!" Rose exclaimed.
"Yeah," Emmett said, "Didn't they go trick or treating in the end?"
Alice nodded. "Yes and they threw a Halloween dance. Everyone went and Ned said if there is a dance, that we should go."
I looked up. "So your argument is that a kid show said we should go to a dance so we should?"
She nodded glad I was getting it.
"Oh that clears it up. So if Ned said we should tell everyone our secret then we should?"
Alice crossed her arms. "Well he does have amazing tips!"
"Isn't he in Middle School?"
"Oh, so you watch the show?"
I put my elbows on the table, letting my head fall into my hands.
"Well, now that's settled. We're going to the dance."
I groaned and shoved my tray away from me.
Jasper chuckled. "Stop being Negative Nancy over there. It'll be fun."
I looked up. "What are you going to dress up as? A vampire?"
He pondered that for a moment. "That's not a bad idea. I need some sparkles, plastic fangs, and I need to look whiter."
Everyone else laughed, all I could think about was how horrible this week was going to be.
