Hi all! So I've been on a huge twilight kick lately and there's almost no stories for any Alice coupling so heres mine.
I don't own anything and as chapters go on the rating may go up.
THIS WILL WIND UP BEING A MORE POSSESSIVE, VAMPIRIC ALICE BY THE END OF IT. SHE'LL STILL BE CUTE BUT WHATS HERS IS HERS.
Bella slipped as she stepped out of Charlie's Cruiser, I stood up from the backseat and stared at my twin on the floor. She looked like she was about to try and get up again but then decided it wasn't worth and just laid down entirely, putting her head back on the patch of ice. I grinned down at her and held out a hand to help her up.
"Come on Isabella." I said this still grinning, making fun of her name. She glared at me and I started giggling, I loved teasing her and she knew it. Generally she couldn't stand people's teasing but I got a free pass from living with her for the past 17 years and counting.
She sighed and took my hand, raising herself up on an arm. Charlie came around and looked at the two of us, shook his head and went up the stairs with our bags.
"Fine Irenta." She said this and stood up shakily. My giggles stopped and I mock-glared at her.
"Could always just push you back over and let you get up by yourself this time." I said this and stuck my tongue out at her. At first she looked like she took me a little seriously, then as my grin returned she narrowed her eyes and flicked me in the arm. She started to walk up the stairs and I grabbed my little oxford sweater from the front seat, it was cold as hell out here.
We'd spent the past few years in Arizona, deciding to come here after Renee's last escapade with her new husband, Phil. Phil was an alright guy, I guess, I just didn't care for him. He cared, just as much as she did for us as her children but after every time he left for the new season, our mother would go into a slight depression. The house would just get darker somehow. Bella never noticed the changes except for Renee's sudden lack of meals eaten in our company, taking everything to her room.
So when Bella suggested we spent the last year of High-school with Charlie, I jumped at the idea. I practically dragged her to Forks, folded up pillow pet tucked in for the airplane ride over and everything.
The bags were unpacked, dinner was made and we were trying to do a family bonding night with some pizza and good old fashioned conversation. So far it'd been tough to get the conversation part made as all three of us didn't mind silence, but I could tell Charlie wanted to spark up some conversation. He kept picking up his head, and then dropping it back down after a few seconds.
"So how do you girls feel about school tomorrow?" He asked this quietly, but we both heard him clearly. He was nervous about talking to us. Bella looked over and me and I looked back at her holding a bit of pizza to my mouth, mid bite. I raised a brow and tried to communicate that she should respond for both of us.
"We're a little nervous, Charlie. But definitely excited!" She said this merrily and I rolled my eyes. I loved her to death but good grief did she try hard to be positive for others. He nodded and took a swig of beer.
"Well that's great. I'm sure you two will make a lot of friends here." He took another swig and stood up to put his paper plate in the trash. Conversation quota was apparently filled for today. Bella looked back over at me warily, she was worried she'd said something wrong to him. I gave her a dismissive hand motion, meaning she was fine, he'd just been done with the family thing for today. She let out a breath and relaxed, taking another bite of pizza.
It occurred to me that I was the more confident out of the two of us as I watched her stare down at her pizza. I had several partners through out my teens, male and female, and decided that I didn't need to cater to a twat who couldn't tell his brain from his nuts. Bella however, she'd had the love story ideal ingrained her by Renee since we were little. She had a boyfriend when she was about 14 and got her heart broken, since then shes been looking for 'mr. Right' while I wasn't looking at all.
Bella and I were across the hall from each other, both of our views were to the street, but she had a tree in front of hers. I was a little pissed at it simply because it held so many opportunities to sneak out and she wouldn't use any of them. It meant I'd have to go across the hall when I was going to use it.
Nothing but the stupid birds were awake at 7 am, and even they were annoyingly chipper. I was glaring at them from the window, drinking a cup of tea. The house was still as Charlie's heavy feet clunked down the stairs and he grunted a good morning to me.
"Do you two want a ride to school in the Cruiser? That'd be cool right?" He asked me gruffly, not used to the whole parenting thing obviously.
"No its okay. We'll take the Sentra." I replied back, coming out hoarse as I hadn't spoken yet this morning until now. My car had been shipped here around a week or two ago from Phoenix in preparation for Bella and I. I had a choice of getting a truck but I chose the Sentra simply because I didn't want to need a running start to get into my car. At 5" tall I wasn't very good with big cars, Bella had me beat by 6 inches and has never let me forget it.
I turned around and nodded to him, taking in his tired face as he stared into the cup. I sipped my tea in silence and looked around, spotting the clock. It read out 7:32 AM, I frowned and grabbed the cup of coffee I made for her. It was to take up to Bella and hopefully get her moving out the door.
"I bring the gift of caffeine." I greeted her with this after I went up stairs and knocked on her door. I took one look at her in her usual combo of a sports jersey and jeans and then at the numerous clothes strewn everywhere. She'd been wanting to try a new outfit for her first day apparently.
"Going to finally change into a nice outfit for the final first day, Bells?" I asked this as I handed her the cup and she nodded then sipped it. We weren't morning people whatsoever, speaking was for squares.
I picked through the clothing bomb and grabbed her nicer pair of jeans and a elegant black and white crocheted sweater. I handed them to her and scooted out for her to change.
"Thanks Ira!" She yelled back at me and I grinned as I left. I liked it when Bella looked pretty, if she let me, I'd do her hair and make up and nails. Literally just because shes my twin and I loved her. I'd do just about anything for her if she asked me or needed it. I had taken on a 'mom' role out of the two of us because of Renee's general habit of acting like a teenage girl.
This was a step up in clothing for Bella but a step down for myself. Typically I enjoyed feeling pretty or sexy and dresses and tighter skirts were my thing, however I liked steel toed boots particularly as well. They were a precaution against crazy and the bastards of today could be crazy as hell for all I knew.
We were sitting in the car and Bella had changed the radio station about 4 times in the last 5 minutes. I knew she was nervous but next time she did it, she was getting a hand smack.
About a second or two later, she reached over again and I smacked her hand. She took her hand back quickly and was rubbing it, I could feel her glaring at me from the passenger seat.
"Why'd you do that?" She asked me, sounding a little bit like a child that had been scolded. I glanced over at her and took in the dark circles under her eyes and the thumb twiddling, she was nervous for school.
"Because that was going to be the fifth time you changed the channel in the last five minutes, Bella." I said this patiently and waited for the protests to come, it took a second but they came alright.
"No! I was just doing it because, uh, I'm looking for that station we had in Arizona." She said this starting out indignant but trailed off quietly. I rolled my eyes and glanced at the clock, it read out 7:52 and I sped up a little. We were coming close to the school but I still wanted to get her in her classroom as soon as I could.
"You passed it two stations back Bella. You're nervous. Thats perfectly okay and understandable." I said this calmly and we passed by the "HOME OF THE SPARTANS" sign, I pulled in looking around for parking spot.
"I am not." She protested again and I sighed. I parked the car and took the key out of the ignition, turning to face Bella.
"Look its okay. I'm nervous to, its a new school and everything. It'll be okay, I swear and I'll be around you all day. Okay?" I took her hand and squeezed it, smiling at her. She took in a deep breath and let it out, nodding. She was calming back down, I grinned and let go of her hand to get out as she got out too. All the sibling love was going on here, we almost never fought and we liked it that way. I opened the back car door on my side to get out my bag and felt like someone was standing behind me, I got up to look behind me, hoping it was Bella. I turned around to see a pale girl with short and spiked black hair and promptly jumped at the sight of her.
"Hi! I'm Alice!" She was gorgeous in the Victorian sense, elegant and well-groomed. I noticed she was still taller than me by an inch or two and grimaced. This did nothing to stop the grin on her face or her obvious excitement.
I looked over to find Bella had stopped a bit ahead and was looking back, rather confused. I raised a brow with the idea of "Who is she?" to Bella and she got it, shrugging. I looked back to Alice and found she was practically vibrating on the spot with excitement and happiness, it made me almost want to lean back away from the girl on crack. There was something off with her. It rubbed me the wrong way.
"Hey. Irene." I said this quietly, not sure if I should try to chat with this girl or rush off to get Bella in class before the Bell rings. If it were possible, her grin grew and she went to hug me.
I froze up at the contact and had a deer in the head lights look towards Bella, who stumbled to get back to where we were as this chick hugged me. I froze because she was freezing cold, hard, and I didn't generally enjoy people touching me unless I initiated it. As it continued I started to realize I didn't mind her hugging me as much as I thought I would.
"Uh..u-hum, Hi. I'm Bella." She got here finally and Alice let go of me to look over at Bella. She smiled at my sister, friendly enough.
"Oh! You do have a twin! I'm Alice." She clapped her hands together and Bella and I looked at each other, confused as hell. Who was she and why was she talking to us?
"Y-yeah." Bella was stuttering and I took notice of her arms defensively crossed over her chest. I took one look at the clock in the Sentra and decided we'd spent more than enough time dawdling here.
"Well it was great meeting you, Alice. Excuse us, we have to get her in class." I said this with a straight lipped smile at Alice who nodded quickly, and put my hand on Bella's shoulder to steer her towards the school building. I'd have to book it if I wanted to get into my own class in time.
"You'll make it into our English class on time, by the way!" Alice called from the parking lot and I gave her a thumbs up as I looked back at her. It was the weirdest thing I'd heard in a while.
"How'd she know that you were in English class, you don't even know yet." Bella asked me quietly as I pushed through the crowds of teenagers at their lockers for the front office. I looked over at her and shrugged.
"I don't know. She was a little odd anyways." I replied to her and spotted the office, FINALLY.
I slid into my class right as the teacher closed the door behind me, glaring at me. I did have English first and I wasn't entirely sure what to do with the paper I had in my hands. I think I'm supposed to have the teacher sign it?
"Um Sir, could you sign this please?" I asked looked at him as he came back around his desk, inspecting me. I guess I reeked of trouble maker in my jeans and polka dot shirt?
"Sure. Please introduce yourself, Ms Swan." He said this, dismissing me as he grabbed a pen and I turned around to look at my classmates. There were some girls and guys that were paying attention but after the middle row, no one was. Except for the waving girl in the back. Wait what?
I peered closer and noticed it was Alice. She was in this class. I had an internal groan moment and tried to cut it out to tell people about me.
"Well I'm Irene. I'm sure you all know Charlie Swan, I'm his daughter. I have a twin in this grade, her names Bella." I said this gruffly, not enjoying the stare I was getting from an Asian kid.
I turned back around to take the now signed paper and looked for a place to sit. Alice was waving at me from the back row, I groaned again. It was almost out loud this time, whoops. She had the only free seat next to her, oh wait... No that was next to the drooling Asian guy, I'd rather have the crack-Alice than a thirsty guy. I dragged my feet to go sit next to her, she was excited as usual and I gave her another tight-lipped smile. She grinned at me again and I wanted to shiver at the row of teeth on that girl.
"I told you, you'd make it!" She said this quietly, smiling at me, as I set up all my papers and pencils. I nodded, not making eye contact. I felt her shift closer during the lesson, our arms were touching now.
The bare skin on skin contact gave me all sorts of shivers, she was electrifying. The kind that run straight down to your toes and the kind you get with goosebumps. I watched her in the corner of my eye and noticed she was looking between me and the desk a lot. I didn't feel the need to pull away though there was something in me that kept screaming to run. Interesting.
"You should have lunch with my family and I, today." She whispered this in my ear and as my eyes grew twice their size, I suddenly straightened my back out. Everything was alert and at attention, I could feel her body shaking with giggles. What the fuck is this shit, Ira? Get your head in the game. I tried to stop the heat waves running down and focus on what she'd said.
"Sorry. I promised my sister that I'd eat with her." I laid my hand on her arm and whispered this into her ear, the giggling stilled and she almost leaned towards me when I pulled away. This chick was the weirdest fucking girl ever. I started to think about Bella and I meeting up with Jacob later on after school. Bella liked him well enough and maybe he'd grown since the mud pie days.
She froze for a second and I got a little bit worried when I saw the far-away look in her eyes. She looked back over at me and looked a little annoyed, I raised a brow at her. The sass was coming on, if this bitch thought I'd be dealing with her mood swings from not eating lunch with her. She frowned and leaned over again to whisper in my ear, her breath tickled my neck.
"I'll eat with you guys then, introduce you all to some people." I looked back over and her and thought about it for a second. She began to look a little worried and I nodded my acceptance. It'd be good for Bella to meet some people. She started smiling again, looking pleased with herself.
"Alice, really. Its okay. I can carry my own stuff, like seriously." I said this as I reached for the bag, she danced out of my reach and I sighed. We hadn't even left the classroom yet, Bella would be looking for me soon. She was laughing as I reached again and I grumbled when she stopped suddenly and I bumped into her. This girl was hard as fucking marble, I'd have bruised elbows after this, like god damn.
The world went quiet for a second, and I was just staring up into her eyes. They were oddly golden coloured, turning darker, and I got the weirdest urge to kiss her from them. I heard the bag drop to the ground and felt her arms wrap around my torso as she leaned down to me.
This was when I heard Bella's soft footsteps and snapped out of the weird trance. I pushed my self away from the embrace we had going on, snatching my bag up off the ground and laughing awkwardly as I heard a low growl. I needed to get laid and get food, pretty bad apparently.
"You coming?" Bella's voice sounded from the entrance and my head snapped to meet her eyes. I nodded quickly and strutted away from Alice, grabbing Bella's hand as I went. I didn't look back but I felt like she was still staring after me.
"What was that about?" Bella asked me this about Alice for the second time today and I sighed. I still didn't know.
"I don't know about that, but I do know this, we're staying away from her and her family. I don't care if she stomps after us, there's something off with her and if they're all like her then they're all off." I said this quietly in the empty hallway, it echoed a lot and I didn't want Alice hearing me. Bella nodded quickly not saying anything more about her. When I said someone or something was off, there was something serious going on. It was a red flag.
"I found some people that want to eat with us and all, if you're up for it." Bella said this and I looked over at her, she was blushing. I began to grin, she found a boy she liked!
"That'd be great Bells. I'd love to meet him. " I said this grinning at her, her face fell. She thought I wouldn't see through that face, tough luck on that one.
I didn't hear Alice come up behind us but I saw her sitting with a table of other pale girls and guys, looking rejected and downtrodden. There was a blonde girl with a bigger dark haired guy, they resonated as a couple to me. The next couple was a guy with copper coloured hair and another blonde girl, this blonde had her hair curly. I focused on Alice and the blondish brownish curly haired guy rubbing her shoulder and frowning, next. I almost felt a little jealous until I decided it was a brother sister idea more so than romance. The fan from the kitchen blew my hair across my shoulder and I watched as Alice's head snapped up, her eyes meeting mine. She looked sad.
I looked away quickly. The guilt was setting in and I took stock of what was on my sister's tray.
"Get an orange, Bella. The Oreo's don't have any Vitamin C in them, sadly." I said this lovingly and she nodded her acceptance, grabbing an orange as I grabbed one for myself too.
WHATCHA THINK? LET ME KNOW.
NEXT CHAPTER MAY JUST BE IN ALICE'S POV.
