Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of these characters etc. Listen closely because I'm only saying that once. Why are you still reading this?
In the entire story, visions are in italics! And if you haven't guessed it yet this story is in Alice's POV!
Pre-Graduation
I pulled off the ugly, tassled hat I wore for graduation. It felt so scratchy! And the robes were way too long. But then again that might just have been me. A 4' 11'' pixie like me shouldn't expect more. I don't fit into a size 16 robe. That was the smallest! These people had to be crazy! Or maybe just tall. Everyone else wore one that was in the juniors size.
"Put the hat back on. Now!" hissed Rose beside me.
"But it's ugly!" I whined.
"I don't care. Deal with it. You still have to go through the ceremony," she shoved the hat back on my head.
Bella tripped as she walked up to get her diploma and busted her chin on the podium. Her chin gushed blood. Jasper, unable to contain himself, rushed up to Bella at a speed a bit too fast for human comfort. But Edward was faster. He beat Jasper to Bella and snarled protectively. The students and audience gasped and...
I woke up with a jolt. Rosalie was tugging on my arm. "Hello? I don't have your insight so can I know? What happened? Is it good?"
I didn't answer her, though. I instead quickly thought through the situation. Then I glanced over at Bella, who was laughing and talking with Angela Webber. I ran over and yanked Bella away from her friend.
''Your robe's too long!" I whispered, and quickly outlined my vision. Bella and Rose's excited faces distorted as I told them the bad news. (goodness knows why Rose was excited, she'd done this millions of times).
I dragged them over to Ms. Moultroup, the teacher handing out gowns. "Bella's robe is too long. She's going to trip and fall and bust her chin open and..." I trailed off, seeing her looking at me quite skeptically. "Knowing Bella anyway," I self-consciously tacked onto the end. I could feel her penetrating stare but knew what she would say, so I looked up at her innocently.
"Isn't yours quie a bit long too, Miss Cullen?" she addressed me. I fought the urge to giggle hysterically, and glancing up, saw by their faces that Bella and Rosalie had caught it too. I was married. Jasper would have literally died of mirth if he had heard what she said. Miss Moultroup looked down her long, thin nose at me, waiting for an answer. I had taken an auspiciously long time.
I gave a dramatic sigh. "This is the smallest size they had," I almost sniffed. "But I know something bad will happen to Bella if she doesn't get a shorter robe. And we don't want anything to happen to Bella,'' I finished.
"Alice is usually right, you know," Rosalie added helpfully, and Bella shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant about the whole thing, but said,"I agree. Speaking for myself, I usually prefer to listen to Alice rather than recieve a near-death experience."
"Yes, Alice is usually right. I wonder why," she mused."Anyway," she peered at us through her disgustingly thick, coke-bottle glasses,"I suppose we can take precautions, if it really matters to you, and give Bella a size down. However, I hope it won't be too small for her," she finished. Stupid ugly human lady. Well while she hoped Bella's robe would fit, I hoped she didn't plan on giving a good long tirade. It was just what Bella needed to get her doubts up again. Oh yes.
She handed Bella a robe, who yanked off the one she was wearing and pulled on the new one. My vision cleared and apparantly Bella was all right again. For the time being anyway.
"Thanks," Bella murmured and we walked away. Tension hung in the air as she debated going to see Angela or staying with us. It made my head spin.
"Ow, Bella, don't play with my vision!" I said under my breath. "Go stay with Angela and visit while we nominate Moultroup for What Not To Wear, Worst Woman of the Year. Her clothes are crap to the fullest extent."
Bella giggled. "Ok," she replied, and dashed off to find her friend.
"Well see, that one was an easy fix. A robe isn't something like the Volturi that we can't avoid. Who, by the way, aren't coming in a while," I added with a satisfied smirk."They aren't going to come that quickly."
"Well then when are they going to come?" Rosalie asked.
"Patience, Rose," I teased. "We don't want them to come, remember?"
"Yeah, yeah, ok. But can't we get Bella away somehow? I can't exactly say I like her..." Rose muttered.
"Rosalie Lillian Hale Cullen. I don't want to hear that again. Bella is going to marry Edward, whether you like it or not,so if I were you I'd put on a happy face and deal with it. Because as much as you'd like to believe it, everyone doesn't exactly love you either!" I just realized my voice had rose to a scream and the entire school was staring at us. Edward, Jasper, and Emmett, who were in a different section than us, hurried over to break up the quarrel.
"What's wrong?" Edward's irritated voice broke the stillness. Rose and I took a few steps back from Edward and Rose murmured "Shit."
"I have no idea whatsoever, but why do I have a feeling that it's about me?" Bella slowly walked over and looked at first at Rose, then me, then Edward, then back to Rose. Bella spoke. "Rosalie, I know you hate me, and I don't know why, but I would appreciate if you voiced it somewhere else." Bella turned on her heel and swept back toward Angela.
I was surprised Bella had stayed so calm. Then I looked over at Jasper and tipped my head. He nodded slightly. "Thanks" I said softly. He slipped me a smile and walked back with the boys, and everyone began milling about and talking again.
I was glad Jasper couldn't see my vision, he would have been devastated. He had been prideing himself on how long he had resisted, and how easy it was to resist now. But Carlisle warned him that pride goes before a fall, so he may want to be careful.
But I love my little Jazzy and would be proud of him even if he did turn un-vegetarian sometimes.
Ok people I will try to make future chapters longer but its my first fanfic, and I edit while I write, so my stuff doesn't turn out looking crappy. Please R&R, because I definitely need some support right now! And I welcome constructive criticism!! Thanks!!
