A/N: Hey guys! I haven't got much to say other than that I don't know how the plot will really go with this story. Potentially this will be a creepy little piece that I update on every now and then. Hope you enjoy it!
READ FIRST: To ensure that I can update regularly, the chapters of this story will be quite short. Though it's probably annoying for you guys, in the long run it ensures that I will keep going with this because it will be easy to write a new chapter. Okay, enjoy!
I jumped violently and straightened my back as my chin almost hit the desk. By now I had completely droned out the sound of Mr Laurance's lecture and I was ready to slip into a peaceful doze. I imagined that wouldn't go down too well with Mr Laurance, though, so I shook myself awake. Mercifully, the lunch bell rang soon after.
"Oh, how time flies," Mr Laurance said, adjusting his glasses, "Well, we'll continue with that next lesson, students,"
Oh, joy. I looked around at my equally dozy classmates. They all looked as excited as I did.
"Oh, and don't forget, the annual Winter Fair is this weekend. I'll have a stall set up that details the history of the fair, so come and check it out!" he enthused, "Class dismissed,"
The reminder of the Winter Fair perked everyone up a little. Though I'd never attended the event, I had been assured many times over that it was a great day. Personally, I didn't see the draw in celebrating the first day of winter. As if Forks wasn't cold and gloomy enough.
"Of all the things we'd do at the Winter Fair, Laurance thinks we want a history lesson," Mike scoffed, catching up to me as I headed to the cafeteria.
I nodded vaguely, "Yes, sounds boring,"
"So what time are you getting there on Sunday?" he asked, "Maybe we could meet somewhere and hang out before the others get there,"
I cringed. This was what I was hoping to avoid.
"Uh, I was actually thinking of sitting this one out," I muttered, keeping my head down.
Mike looked at me like I'd said I wanted to sit out Christmas.
"Sit it out?" he stammered, "Are you insane?"
"I've got an essay to write," I lied.
"Yeah, but Bella! I mean, it's the Winter Fair! I thought you of all people would be excited, at least it's something to do in this dreary slush hole!" Mike continued.
I groaned internally, "I might check it out,"
Mike grinned, "You'll never want to leave, I promise,"
I was still angry when I reached my usual lunch table. Everyone was there before me, of course. I plopped down next to Edward and let my distaste be heard.
"What's wrong?" Edward asked, amusement thick in his voice.
I rolled my eyes at him, "I swear I've been promised the time of my life at that stupid fair about eight times today,"
The Cullens made knowing noises.
"Yeah, that's all anyone can talk about these days," Alice nodded.
"It gets worse every year," Emmett promised me.
"Great," I whined sarcastically.
Edward rubbed my back sympathetically.
"Have you guys ever been?" I asked, propping my head in my hands.
"Never had a reason to," Edward said, "But if you're going then I'll come,"
I shook my head sharply, "No, no way! I'm not going anywhere near the fair!"
"Aw, c'mon Bella!" Emmett moaned, "Don't be such a chick!"
I raised my eyebrows at him.
"Come on, it'll be-" he started, but I shot my hands in the arm.
"Don't finish that sentence!" I snapped.
"Fun." he finished with a devilish grin.
I groaned.
Right, so that's that. I've got two more chapters ready so far, this was just the opener. Hope you enjoyed it, let me know if you want to see more!
