Preface
Walking down the three mile walk-way took longer than usual as Alice and I were walking very slowly.
"So, I was thinking maybe a few months more here then we go to maybe England, maybe London. Not alot of sun there and when there is they won't notice any way. We'd probable get change thrown at us..." Alice was rambling on and on about were we'll all go after Forks. I wasn't listening. I was getting memories from when I was a human back, they were almost like day dreams. I'd snap in and out of them. They were distorted though. Different things to what I remember. Flowers a different colour that sort of thing. I hadn't told anyone. They'd think I'd gone mad. If vampires could go mad. However today it was worse. In alot of the memories Edward wasn't in them. Not like they weren't memories with Edward. They were memories like when I told Charlie I was marrying Edward, but Edward wasn't sitting beside me. It was Jacob. Sitting legs crossed wearing Edwards rediculas 'I know a secret I can't tell you' type grin he got when he was reading someones mind and they were going to ask something embarrassing. At Edward and I's wedding. It was Jacob looking from behind me in the window of the Cullens house, not Edward. Jacob laying covered in who had handed me the small silver glass filled with blood. Jacob who had heard Rennesmes thoughts from my stomach. Jacob who had snapped me out of my first human hunt. Jacob, Jacob, Jacob! I'd snapped out by the time we'd reached the Cullens house. I talked to Alice while we walked in and I had walked to the kitchen. We'd found that so long as you keep the blood on the meat we can suckle on stuff like steaks and chicken. We'd also found that Nessie found Jacob attractive. How? Why, but she did. Mabye the imprinting thing worked both ways and she had fallen in love with him. Nessie was as old as him now well technically not but biologically. Not as tall as him, though. Alice and I walked in on Jake saying bye to Nessie. He had to go home to meet his sister, who'd come home for the week. When I saw him the daydreams came back but worse. When I'd told Charlie I was getting married. He jumped and hugged Jacob. Edward and I's wedding. Jacob looking at me through the window to the living room of Billy's house, and not Edward from the window of the Cullen house. Jacob looking at me from his chest in the Caribbean, not Edward looking guilty covered in feathers. Jacob handing me a bottle of water and placing it on my pregnant stomach, not me seeing Edward after Rosalie handing me the silver cup full of blood. Jacob hearing a kick from my stomach, not Edward hearing Nessie's thoughts. Jacob holding our baby at the hospital, not Nessie biting my breast in Carlsie's study. I was chopping liver when I'd snapped out again. Alice saying something about Ireland and the Irish clan as I was putting the chopped liver in a small metal bowl before I had been pulled back into my dream. Jacob comforting me after Edward leaving Forks. Everything, everything that had happened form then being played back to me in my head but with Jacob not Edward. I was at the door of Carlsie's study. I heard no-one in so I inched the door open and no-one was in. Alice was still babbling about were we're all going. I walked in and spun round to face a startled Alice staring at me.
"Alice!" I shouted as I spun round.
"What?"She almost whimpered.
"Shut up!"I Shouted again slamming the door in her. I looked down at the bowl filled of bloody-meat and threw it across the room. Why was I remembering these things? Why was my mind telling me what would have happened if I had ended up with Jacob?
"Bella?!" Alice shouted from the hallway."Are you okay? I'm going to go Edward, okay!" She shouted running from the house. I climbed on to Carlsie's desk and lay there until my day-dream started again. This time it was my time in Forks but Edward wasn't there at all. I'd still ended up with Jacob, though. I heard banging on Carlsie's door but was still to far away in my dream to notice enough to get pulled out. Me and Jacob at the school dance, near enough three years ago. Jacob in my room, laying on my bed, pulling me on and kissing him. The banging stopped then and that was enough to snap me out. Edward was banging on the door. I must ave been open and he could see what I did.
"Edward!" I shouted jumping off the desk and to the door as fast as I could, and caught Edward at his angriest and scariest. He was gone in a second though. Alice was in front chasing him, and I followed her. We ran down the stairs and followed Edward through to the kitchen.
Jacob, still hugging Nessie close, picked his head up fast and saw obviously what I had, only growling at him and going for his neck. Luckily Edwards hand raised before he got close enough to bite him. There was a smack when Edwards hand hit Jacobs neck then a bang and a crack when he pushed him to the wall.
"Dad!" Ness shouted as Alice and I shouted "Edward!" while we all grabbed his arms, but he wouldn't move.
"What the hell?!" Jake had enough breath to shout.
"Edward! Stop it! Now!" I shouted at his arm. He still didn't move and Jacob started growling back while turning blue."Edward!" I shouted with a final push at his arms, when he let go and looked at me then back to Jacob.
"I want you," he pointed at Jacob. "Out. Now. For good." He turned and walked out of the kitchen and out to our house. We all were stunned, even Carlsie and Emmett who had both came in to make sure Edward wouldn't have killed Jacob, though Emmett would have probably helped Edward.
Jacob hugged Nessie and I and never saw him after that.
Until recently at least...
01. The Most Boring Place On Earth. (A.K.A. La Push, Washington.)
The sand and rain slop-type-mixture was started to get annoying.
I was lying on my back on the beach listening to my iPod hiding from Lucas. I could feel the ice cold rain on my face, landing randomly. My eye-lids. My closed lips. My hands, curled around my iPod. I hated the cold, but I couldn't feel it as much as most people, apparently. I do get colder than Mom, Dad and Luc, though.
"B.B!" I heard as my head phones were being ripped from my ears. My eyes snapped open and I saw my brother, perring down at me.
"Go away, Lucas."
"No. Dad wants you." He said as I sat up and turned to look at him. Walking back to his car I noticed what he was wearing. A tight black shirt with a black leather jacket and plain black jeans with white trainers.
"Luc, what are you wearing? Wait...Your going on a date aren't you?"
"Mabye." He said, not turning to look at me. No matter how far apart we may be, Lucas and I are a really close. That's why he didn't look at me. I would be able to tell if he had a date or not from his face.
"You do! Congrats big bro!" I said running up to him from behind and jumping to put an arm round his neck. When I did his whole body had to crouch down. Not that I'm short. It's just Luc got tallness from Dad. I got his dark - almost black - eye colour.
"Get off B.B! Okay mabye I have a date. Get home! Dad hasn't seen you since this morning. See you later 'kay?" He said pulling me off of him when we reached our cars.
"Bye big bro. Good luck on your date!" I said getting into my Dads old Volkswagen Rabbit and Luc in his brand new BMW.
"See ya, sis." He said getting in and driving up and out of town and into Forks.
I climbed into the Rabbit and checked my phone. 8 messages and 4 missed calls. The calls were all from Dad. The messages were from pretty random people, though and all very weird.
Joe
Hey, were'd you go after gym? We were all going for lunch. You forget? Call me later babes so I know your okay. xx
Jesabelle
Hi loser. You coming to the movies with Joe and I tonight? It'll be fun! Any way see ya, B
Annabelle
Hi BB Another boring day in Forks. Well there was sun...You get an invite to Wills party on Saturday? Looks fun! You and Joe should go together! See you l8r B! x
Will
Hey B Sorry bout 2day. Couldn't find U. I'm having a back 2 school party this Saturday U wanna come? See U BB
Steph
Has Will talked to you yet? He invited you to his party on Saturday BTW. See you tomorrow B!
Apparently Will was having a party. The other four were from Mom, Dad and Luc.
Mom
Hey hun Your dads being overprotective again! I can't believe you left me with him alone. Can you call us plez your dad's getting worried. We're getting a little worried.
Dad
I'm sending Lucas out to find you. See you soon.
Luc
Were are you? I'm busy BB. I can't spend all damn day looking for you!
I stared the car up and Cher - Just Like Jessie James played full blast as I drove down the street to our small one story house. It wasn't until I'd reached the house, and cut the engine, that I realised that I was singing, too.
I unlocked the front door and hung up my gray jacket on the old hooks and smelt somthing funny. Dad was cooking. I ran as quickly as I could to the kitchen even thought it was on the other side of the house. Our house looked small but it was wide or long.
"Dad!" I said grabbing the cloth from the edge of the stove and turned to look at him accusingly.
"Oops?" He said cocking his head at me.
"No oops! That could have burned the house to the ground, dad!"
"Sorry B I waited for you but you took to long to get home. Were did Lucas find you anyway? Not at the beach again."
"No." I lied. "I was driving down when I saw Lucs BMW."
"Good, the beach is too cold this time of year."
"What? I thought your motto is 'live life come rain or shine'?!"
"It was. Now it's 'life sucks then you die.'"
"What age are you again?"
"Older than I look. Why?"
"'Cause I'm worried for those old bones of yours. Go sit and watch the game. I'll cook."
"Comedienne in the house! Thank you hunny." He said kissing me on the fore head and walking down the hall to the living room. I could hear, even from the other side of the house, the football game on the flat-screen.
Sturing the pasta, with the tomato sause my phone rang in my pocket.
"BB. Talk to me." I said answering my Sidekick.
"Party. Friday night. Will's place. You going?" Jesabelle said after me.
"Yes, you?"
"Is LP freezing cold?" She said laughing.
"Funny. I'm making dinner see you tomorrow?"
"'Kay loser. Kisses."
"Bye." I laughed hanging up the phone.
I put the pasta onto two plates and walked through to the living room with them. They were sitting on the small sofa we got from Grandpa, dad with his arm around mom, her holding his hand. I walked over and gave them there plates and sat on the floor in front of them.
"Were's your plate, hun?" Mom asked me as a drifted down and fliped my Sidekick open.
"I was going to ask if Joe could take me out to dinner." I answered looking up at her.
"Does Joe want to take you out?"
"He asked me to lunch today but I forgot. So I thought I'd ask him if he'd like to go to dinner instead."
"Sure hun"
"Gee good to know my opinion matters." Dad said shrugging his shoulders.
"Aw. Nope." Mom said rubbing his shoulder.
I laughed and turned to text Joe.
Sent to:Joe
Hi Joe. Sorry, was the beach. You want to go for dinner? My treat? Text me back please xx
He text back ridiculously quickly, even mom was startled.
Hi BB. It's okay. Sure, but It's my treat. It's your birthday meal. I'll pick you up in 5. xx
I closed my phone and got up to get dressed.
It was surprisingly hard. I didn't know were we were going so a white shirt with a waist-coat and black jeans were the safer option. I never liked to dress-up but I dressed appropriately. I sat down in front of the large mirror Mom made me put in my room and looked at my-self to check my make-up. My long black hair typed up perfectly. Look down at my hips to check too. Not curled at the ends. Eye make-up. Still perfect. Chap-stick and lip-gloss and done. I never liked too much make-up either.
In a little more than two minutes Joe was tooting out the front.
I ran to the front door and heard dad calling from behind me. I saw him walking over, rumaging through his wallet. He found a ten and handed it to me.
"Here."
"Whats this dad?"
"It's gettaway money. If you two have an argument - gettaway money. If Joe runs out of gas - gettaway money." He said pointing to the money I was putting in my back pocket.
"Thanks, dad. See you later." I laughed turning to the door.
"Bye hun. Say 'Hi' to Joe for me."
"Will do, dad. Bye." I said running out the door and down the patio. Joe was leaning agenst the car and looking at me and started to laugh.
"Come on." He said opening the passenger door. I climbed in and put my CD into his CD player I skipped to track 3 - Mamma Mia. I turned it up full blast and he just climbed in.
"Really?" He asked embarrassment.
"My birthday!" I said trowing my arms up - accidentally - punching the ceiling of his car. I let out just a shout of pain and Joe just laughed. "Drive cymbal monkey!" I said pointing out the front of the car window.
We drove down to Port Angalus talking about what teachers we both got on the first day and every couple of minutes Joe would start laughing again. We reached Belle Italianna and Joe held my door open. I suddenly got a face full of a smell, not an unpleasant one but...A sweet smell. A sort of mix of candy and flowers.
"Do you smell that?" I asked Joe after I got out the car.
"No. What?" He asked taking my hand.
"It's a really...sweet smell."
"The only sweet thing I see is you."
"Suck up"
"I know." He said leading me up a couple of steps and holding the door open for me. "I also know that it will be really weird eating were you work but I don't have enogh for anywere else. Sorry." He whispered as we walked in.
The smell was even stronger in the restaurant. I looked around to try and find out were the smell was coming from. I couldn't it though, was too remote. I gave up soon and the newest girl, Blondie, Jes and I called her, led us to a couple of seats beside the aisle stage were we proformed.
"Could we get some seats a little bit more...private?" Joe said slipping the girl a twenty.
"Of course, sir" She said leading us up to an empty booth. There were couples on either side of us one was an ordinary couple - A blonde girl and a brunette guy - but on the other - behind me - were a sort of weird couple not that they had ordered no food but, something. She had long brunette hair and was amazingly beautiful. The boy had an odd brunettey gold type mix of a hair colour and was just as beautiful. They each had an odd colour of eyes too. A sort of topaz colour. The girl's was darker, close to black. They were both really pale too. They were just looking into each others eyes, not saying anything, and leaning over the table close to one another and he had her hands in his. Suddenly the guys back was straight. The girls reaction was the same but she looked confused and sort of worried. He shook his head, as though answer a question, but I hadn't seen the girls lips open. Then after this he turned and looked at me. With his golden eyes he staring right at me. I was sort of in a trance. I hope I was. That would explane why I tripped over the chair that had just been pulled out. Joe's hand was right out to catch me.
"You okay?" He said seriously.
"Yeah. You can make fun of me for this." I laughed.
He helped me up and helped me to my seat. The weird couple were back in there lovey dovey stance. I couldn't understand it. Why had she looked so worried and why had he looked at me?
We sat down and ate. Nothing special though. It was nice. Joe and I hadn't been out alone in a rediculacly long time. We talked about school, friends, teachers, cars, holidays in the summer. We had finished our dinner and sat and talked for a while. Then just as we were leaving Anna came by.
"Hi guys. Enjoy the meal?" She said all sweet. She wanted something.
"What do you want Anna?"
"The late night singer just bailed, could you sing?" I knew it.
"No." I said bluntly. Then I looked at her with her hands tightly together with one finger out and blinking as fast as she could mouthing 'One song. Please. Please?'.
"Fine, but the meals free." I gave up. She'd have docked my pay if I'd said no again.
"Obviously! Come on!"
"I'll be waiting!" Joe said looking at Anna as she dragged me away. When we reached the stairs to the stage she took a microphone and stood at the end of the runway.
"Ladies and gentlemen I apologize but Amanda has the flu so for tonight's entertainment, singing Miley Cyrus - Fly On The Wall, here is the one, the only the amazing B.B from Y...2...K!" She shouted into the microphone.
She walked back and whispered "Thank you." when she handed me the microphone as the few people that came for the performer clapped. I walked out and started to sing the song. There was all ready dancers who knew the dance I had made for this song so they just went with it. I had a part were I would go into the audience and I noticed the odd couple staring at me. When I was done I saw Joe at the door talking to Blondie. Then she wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it to him. Her cell number. I could see that from here. I also got my dads 20/20 vision. I walked over and he turned and smiled at me.
"You were amazing." He asked. He obviously didn't think I saw what had just happened.
"Thanks can I use your phone?" I said keeping my calm. I wasn't annoyed at him. I knew this would happen. Before we when out he had three girlfriends in a week.
"Sure here." He said reaching into is back pocket and giving me his cell. First I deleted my number, then Lucs and then our house number then I called my dad's cell.
"Hi, hunny, hows it going?" My dad asked when he answered the phone.
"Delete this number, I'll be home in ten." I said. My anger had came through now. Now I was just pissed at him.
"Bye, hunny." Dad said as he hung up.
"Who was that?" Joe asked as I gave him his phone back.
"My dad. Oh by the way your duh-humed!" I said. We were still by Blondie.I started to walk outside. He followed me out.
"What?" He said sounding annoyed.
"I said your dumped. Oh don't worry, I'll get a cab home, thanks for the cash." I said grabbing the ten he hadn't put back in his wallet.
"What?!" He said even more annoyed now.
"Wow. Joe go home and get fitted for a hearing aid, okay. Just as long as your away from me."
"B, what the hell are you talking about?"
I snapped and reached into his back pocket and pulled out Blondies number.
"'Call me soon kiss-kiss-kiss Cindy' Wow. Cindy. How fitting." I said reading the card and then trowing it at his face. "Just go home Joe I'm gonna get a cab."
"Fine." He said walking back to his car.
I started to walk down to the cab company's office when he drove by I saw him and stuck the fingers at him which he stuck them back. Then the car behind him slowed. The dark tinted windows went down and it was the odd couple from the restaurant.
"La Push?" The girl said in an amazingly beautiful voice which fitted her.
"How'd you know?" I asked.
"You want a ride?" She laughed like I'd missed a joke.
"It would save a cab fair. Thanks." I said as they speed up the glittering silver Volvo to get the back seat door to me. I climbed in and sat on the black soft leather seats.
"Boyfriend troubles?" The girl asked when I was in the car and the guy was speeding down the road.
"Ex-boyfriend. Nice car." I said to the guy changing the subject. "Your's or the missus?" I asked in a British accent.
"Ours."He laughed. "Our dad bought it." he said looking at the girl who was laughing and texting someone. I just managed to catch what she had written. 'Picked up a girl. Human. Explane how l8r. Bell x' I read it and was really confused at one word. Human. As apposed to what a hamster? The guy laughed even louder when I thought this, again, like I'd missed a joke.
"Oh. I thought you guys were a couple." I said thinking about the way they were in the restaurant.
"We are." The girl said. I was really confused now.
"Huh?"
"You can't explane love." The guy said taking the girls hand.
"We're adopted by the way! We're not just a bunch of freaks!" She added laughing. "Oh I'm Bella by the way. This is Edward." She said turning round, looking at me.
"B.B." Bella and Edward. Bella and Edward. I'll have to remember in case I meet them again.
"Cool name. Oh you don't mind if we pick up our sisters do you?"
"Nope. Your car." I laughed.
"True. So were in La Push do you live B.B?"
"North side. Side bordering Forks."
"School?" Edward asked.
"Forks High." I said.
"Oh we're just moving there from Scotland." Bella said.
"Really? Cool. What's it like?"
"Cold."
"So not too different to Forks?" I laughed. She laughed a laugh that was like music. As Edward pulled up to the theater parking lot I noticed that the smell - the one from the restaurant - was from them. The car wrecked of the overly sweet aroma.
Then a girl opened the door farthest away from me and climbed in the car. She had long brown hair and looked like the couple in fronts daughter or biological sister. She wasn't as pale though. She was...Well pink, with chocolate coloured eyes.
"Oh my gosh, the movie was so not scary but it was so much fun. Very gory too." The girl said when she got in the car.
The girl that got in next was like the other two. Very pale. Very beautiful. Short black spiky hair. Odd coloured eyes and had the same amazing voice.
"Yeah but too gory for a 15." She said sort of motherly.
"Tut, you were just scared."
"Was not!" The black haired girl said closing the car door.
"Were too! I have evidence that you hid like a little girl."
"This is Reneesme and Alice by the way. Alice, Ness, B.B" Bella said pointing to us all in the back the brunette as Reneesme and the short black haired girl was Alice.
"Hi." I said meekly and waving.
"Hi." Alice laughed.
"She's going to Forks High. We might have some classes together." Edward said looking at Alice in the mirror.
"Oh cool! So we won't be totally alone tomorrow! You don't mind us hanging out with you will you. Or is that just weird?" Reneesme asked all excited.
"No it's cool. Friends are always good." I laughed. We were steaming down the road at - and I checked the speedometer for this one - one twenty! We talked about school all the way home. What teachers they should avoid, which were best. When we reached my house I almost didn't want to go.
"I'll see you tomorrow. You guys can sit with me and my friends!"
"Cool, see you tomorrow, B.B!" Reneesme said.
"Bye!" I said closing the door and watching them go. I ran up to the door and went to my room. My dad didn't talk to me he knew this was a 'mom thing'. I got in my bed and listened to my iPod until I fell asleep.
****
The weirdest dream I'd ever had. I had drempt the story's dad told me when I was a little one's about Elle and Edwin. It was like watching it as a movie. I had the story's being told by dad aswell down to the voice of the wolves. But I woke up before I had gotten to the end.
Then again the soundtrack to Sweeny Todd doesn't help.
Another groggy day in La Push. The sun barely getting in to my windows past the clouds I got up and threw on a tee shirt and jeans and ran into the kitchen. Katy was on her chair eating breakfast.
"Morning, lil' sis'." I said kissing her on the head running past her to get toast. "Morning, Mom." She was sitting across from Katy.
"Morning B. Why are you in such a rush?" Katy asked.
"Because it takes me half an hour to get to school and I've slept in." I said leaning beside dad who was putting toast in for him self.
"It takes me five minutes." She said in a 'Dumbo' sort of way.
"The perks of going to school on the reservation." I said as the toast popped up. I grabbed it before Dad could. "Thanks." I said kissing his cheek. "Bye."
"Bye," Mom, Dad and Katy said together.
"Hunny could you come straight home tonight?" Mom asked as I made my way to the back door.
"Sure. Later!" I said running out the door. I saw Luc pulling into the driveway and getting out the car.
"Fun night, big brother?" I said out of everyone else's earshot.
"Shut up. Have fun at school." He said flatly.
"Gee. Grouchy." I said, passing him on his way to the house.
"Coffee!" He said back putting both his arms up to the door. I swear that man drinks more coffee than Lorelai Gilmore.
I got in the rabbit and started to drive to school. It took fifteen minutes to get to an opening to Forks then another fifteen on the highway until the turn off in to Forks High parking. I got there in time and I saw two new cars on my round in the parking lot. Edwards silver Volvo and a red convertible. Jesabelle, Annabelle, Will and Steph were waiting by Will's car keeping a spot for me. I parked and got out and all ready Jez was hugging me.
"I'm so sorry. My brother is a jerk." She said pulling away and holding my shoulders.
"It's okay. I know." I said taking her hands off me. "Yo." I said waving once to everyone else.
"Hey." They mumbled together. Then the bell went.
"I gotta run my first class is like that side." I said pointing over the school. "Later guys."
"Later." They mumbled together again. I ran to my first class. The school was divided into buildings and my first class was calculus. I knew I was going to be late but I didn't care I ran any way.
I reached the class five minutes in and I just walked to my seat.
"Your late B.B." Mr Barge said as I walked to my seat.
"No I'm not. I wanted to make a big entrance." I said taking my seat at the empty table at the back and smiling like a loon.
"Funny. Now who can answer this equation?" He said looking at us all. Then the door went.
"Come in." Mr Barge shouted. Then Edward walked in. Then Bella then Reneesme and Alice and three other people I didn't know.
"Sorry we're late. We had to go to the office for registration." Edward said as he walked over to Mr Barge who was standing by his computer.
"Cullen, I presume then. Okay Rosalie?"
"Here." A tall blonde girl said raising the hand that wasn't wrapped around the tall black haired boy.
"Emmett?"
"Me." The boy Rosalie was squeezing said. You could see he was strong. His arm muscles were the size of my head.
"There's two seats over there." Mr Barge said pointing to the empty seats at the back. "Alice?"
"Me," She said putting her arm up as high as it would go.
"Jasper?"
The tall lanky boy standing next to Alice put his hand up high enough for Mr Barge to see then brought it down and into Alice's and pulled her's down too.
"Over there." Mr Barge said pointing to the table behind Rosalie and Emmett, and still holding his hand she lead Jasper to the seats. "Reneesme?"
"Here!" Reneesme said walking forward.
"Isabella?"
"Bella. Here." Bella said putting her hand up.
"Two seats over there." Mr B. said pointing to the seats at the back in the middle row. Reneesme obviously liked the idea of sitting beside of her sister and almost danced to the table while Bella gave Edward a loving look and dragged his hand out until they were out put of reach. "And Edward?"
"Here." Edward said putting his hand up.
"Beside B.B." Mr Barge's said pointing at the empty seat beside me. I pulled my bag off the seat and pulled it out for him.
"Hi." I whispered as Edward sat down. He just turned and smiled at me.
"Now who can answer this equation? Hmm?" He asked "No-one? Okay I'll have to pick a volunteer." He started to circle his finger around us and looked for someone to answer. I started to inch my way down. I couldn't answer the question. I was only here because I need a math degree for art collage.
"Keep shrinking, Black I can still see you!" He said, his voice got higher at 'see you', to which I went so far down my feet were under the boy in front of mes chair. "You." He said pointing to me.
I sighed and got up but I knew he wrote what ever you said so I decided to star this year with a laugh.
" 1 AM A 8008," I said. He wrote it up then looked at it. While everyone in the class giggled.
Mission complete!
"Funny. Answer the question B.B." He said. I was giving him my 'Umm' and 'Err' pled when Edward nugged my ribs. I looked at him and he had his book half way between his arm and with the page on my side he had written:
36 and 1/2. Your welcome.
"36 and 1/2?" I asked Mr Barges. He nodded and turned to write it on the board. I sighed and whispered ''Thank you" to Edward.
The class went on like normal after that. All day I had at least one Cullen in my classes. I sat either next to my friends or next to Nessie when she looked like she needed a friend. They acted weird at lunch though. They all sat together at lunch at a table near the door.
"I heard they were adopted but there together, like together-together." Anna said as she caught my looking over at them all sitting down.
"So?" I said. I was getting bored with the constant fake gossip about them. They were nice people. From what I knew about them. So what if your adoptive Dad can hook you up with a brother and a date?
"So legally there all brother and sister. That's freaky."
"There not brother and sister, Anna."
"I heard they moved cause there adoptive Dad killed someone in a hospital up in Alaska." Will said joining Anna in the gossip.
That was the last straw. I snapped after that.
"They didn't okay?! So what if they moved from Alaska? I don't care why, okay! There really nice people, Will, and because there adopted brother and sister doesn't mean there actual brother and sister, Anna!" I shouted as I got up to move. "You can't help who you fall in love with." I said with one last glare and I walked over to the Cullens table.
"Hi," I said shyly. "can I sit with you?"
"Sure! Sit here B!" Nessie said nearly tripping over herself to pull a seat out for me.
"Thanks," I laughed "How are you guys finding the school?" I asked sitting down.
"It's okay. Just as Carlisle said." Bella said.
"Yeah, a hell-hole." the blonde - Rosalie - said.
"Ahh, you get used to it," I said grabbing the pepperoni pizza slice I'd grabbed from the canteen."It's sort of cool once you do get used to it." I took one big bite and there was just the crust left. I stood up and grabbed my tray. "Sorry guys but I've gotta go. I have play try-outs. I'm the lead and director."
"'S okay. See you later?" Nessie asked.
"Sure, bye!" I turned and waved not looking in front when I walked into someone. After two seconds we were both on the floor and I ended up staring into Joe's eyes. I was laying on Joe's legs and was looking up at him. He pushed me off so I was laying on my back and stood up as fast as he could and looked down at me.
"Watch were your going, Black!" He said spitefully.
"Me?!" I spat back at him sitting up on my elbows.
He tutted at me then walked away with all his friends from football stepping over me to follow him.
"Thanks alot, Mark!" I shouted at him as he stepped over me. He turned and shrugged his shoulders in an apologetic style. When the guy after him - I could never remember his name - stepped over me I got angry. "Walk around, dude! Walk around!" I shouted. "I have a little dignity left!" I said throwing my uneaten pudding cup at the back of his head, were it burst in an explosion of chocolate on his neck.
"I think you'd better get going before you start a..."I heard Alice say from behind me as I was laughing my little head off.
"Food fight!" Some guys at the table beside Pudding Guy shouted throwing pasta at the next table.
I started to crawl to the exit of the canteen and noticed Alice was doing the same right behind me. I reached the door and Alice and I were laying on the pavement laughing.
"Were are you going?" I asked Alice through laughs.
"Play try-outs." She huffed.
