Bella's first Baseball Game
After Bella has been transformed into a vampire, defeated the Volturi, and made friends with the Quileute Pack, life goes on so simple. She lives well with her new family and often visits the other vampire friends. And though Bella's life is like a dream, there is one thing she cannot avoid, the Cullens tradition-a baseball game.
I was sitting in the meadow as always with Edward. This was probably my favorite place outdoors. It was where I didn't have to hide but could be left in peace. Only this time Alice decided to come along. For someone so short she could be quite annoying. Edward and I couldn't talk as freely with her and so it was mostly her going on talking about my fashion sense and planning weekends out and god knows what. Today I wouldn't let Alice tell which clothes to wear, though practically every week she keeps giving me a new wardrobe.
"And so you see why you have such bad taste in clothes Bella," Alice concluded.
"Sorry…what?" I said puzzled. I hadn't paid attention to what she said and somewhere half way in her little 'speech' I started daydreaming. Edward just smiled, like he always does. I may not be clumsy anymore but at least I'm funny.
"Weren't you paying attention?" Alice said annoyed. "I was explaining how your fashion sense if horrific."
"My fashion sense is not horrific." She gave me a look and eyed me.
"Just look at what you're wearing." I looked at my jeans and my favorite green sweatshirt which I refused Alice to throw away.
"And you say there's something wrong with it?" I said back mockingly. She let out a sigh. How much pressure I must put on her with my clothes.
Alice stopped for a minute. She was having another vision again. I had got used to her vision like the other Cullens but I often felt worried. Every time she had a vision I thought it would be the Volturi returning but like every time, it was always something harmless.
"What did you see Alice?" I asked. Edwards smiled. "Edward what was it? What did Alice see?"
"It's time." Alice said.
"It's been a while." said Edward. "We finally get to do it again"
"What was it Edward? What are both talking about?" I was eager to know. This seemed like news that interested me. Were they talking about the Volturi? But if they were they wouldn't be smiling at each other, instead they would be frightened.
"Are you up for a tradition Bella?" Alice asked.
"What kind of tradition?"
"A baseball game, Cullen style."
"There's a thunderstorm heading this way. Perfect for baseball." Edward said
I gulped. "Baseball?" I wasn't good at baseball. I could barely hit a ball. I didn't know if I wanted to play. I could referee with Esme. The Cullens way of playing baseball was different from human. The way they did it made it look as though it was a different game altogether and I surely wouldn't be able to fit in with this.
"Yeah." said Alice nodding. "It'll be fun. Come on. Let's go and tell the others." And with that she grabbed my hand and dragged me to the Cullens house. Baseball…baseball. Couldn't we just stay inside for the storm?
