CHAPTER ONE
Right, lets look at this objectively. First of all, whats wrong with me? Well, my eyes are big. But thats a good thing, right? I'm quite short. My hair is long. Good things or bad things!?
Well, lets get this straight; I'm going on a date tonight. Yes, me. Jane. From the Volturi. But lets face it, if there's ever a time to get over Marcus its now he has a girlfriend. Who seems pretty permanent. Yes, she's gorgeous. Tall. Black hair. Long lashes. But she's a total idiot. In my eyes. Her name is Vanessa. Vanessa for God's sake! She nowhere near deserves Marcus, who is, quite frankly, the fittest vampire I've seen in all my two-hundered and fifty three years. But anyway.
I must now think of Marcus right now. Vanessa has set me up with some brother of hers. So, she says his name is Oscar. He has blond hair. And thats all I got out of her before she started snogging Marcus's face off. Damn her. But enough about Vanessa and Marcus. Tonight Jane is dating.
It was two hours later and after about three hundered hair pins being stuck in my head, eight or nine dresses ripped into shreds, and fourteen pairs of high-heels chucked in the bin, I was ready. Vanessa had insisted on dressing me up. She said Oscar's something special. In her stupid Italian accent. I was like "If you like him so much why don't you go out with him you Italian bimbo?" She just laughed and called me fiesty. Which disturbed me a bit. Anyway, I was finally ready and I got down the stairs and saw Marcus. He just kind of stared at me with his mouth open.
I met Oscar by the sea. We were meant to be going for a walk along the beach. All Vanessa's idea of course. It must be the way the Italian's do it. Anyway. Oscar was lovely. Nice hair and eyes and teeth and all that. A bit boring. And he had an English accent.
"Hello I'm Oscar." he introduced himself.
"I'm Jane." we shook hands and kindof began chatting about family and all that. I was halfway through going on about the rest of the Volturi when I saw Marcus. In my head, not really there. But still, it freaked me out. Then we kinda walked along in silence, and it was a bit boring ... until I suggested we had a swim! We splashed into the sea like a couple of... well you know, things. If there were any people there they probably thought we were drunk humans. Me and Oscar had a lot of fun in the sea. We came out soaking, but it didn't matter. I was finally having FUN. Me and Oscar are meeting again, tomorrow night. It will be a laugh. Oscar's great you know. Smart and attractive and fun and all that ...
But he's not Marcus. And it's Marcus that I've fallen in love with.
