Ok I know I said I would only say it once so listen carefully yada yada yada but I'll say it again just for fun: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters thereof. They are the creations of the wonderful Stephenie Meyer.
Graduation
I could finally breathe again. Not that I needed to of course, but I had been holding my breath during the entire thing and I probably looked pretty wierd to some of the humans. Though I did love suspense it was just too dangerous for everyone's future to not look. So I finally took a deep brreath and looked at Bella's fate. Nope, everything was ok. Now for Jasper...oh yay he controlled himself through the whole ceremony.
I was pleased with the fact of a perfect graduation for the humans, even if we Cullens had already done it hundreds of times.
"Alice, put the hat on already! We're going inside!" Rosalie hissed at me. I was surprised she still held stamina after her fight with Bella. This time I sighed but dutifully complied as I placed the hat back on my head and trailed inside after the humans. Rosalie followed close behind me.
We went through the motions of graduating just as we had many times before. Get your name read, walk up to the front, shake hands, get your diploma, get a stupid picture, sit down, and wait for the other literally two thousand people to get their diplomas.
We tried not to act too bored, but it was pretty trying, having to do this at least once every few years. And anyway we might as well put on a good face for the humans. So I tried to be my usual energetic self...but it didnt work. I ended up looking over at Jasper and sending waves of boredness to him. He looked over at me and gave me a death glare so I stopped, and telegraphed to him with pleading eyes,
"Do we have to do this again?"
His eyes flicked to Bella, then back to me. "For Bella" they replied.
I sighed and looked away. Jasper sent me waves of fake excitement. I hissed at him.
"BELLA SWAN, MAGNA CUM LAUDE!" the loudspeaker blared.
I now understood why Jasper had sent me waves of excitement. I screamed at Bella and heard Charlie and Jake and my brothers yelling for her too. So the mutt came. Well I couldn't say I was surprised, he was her best friend. Other than me, I tacked on in my head with a smile.
Bella was blushing with our outspoken praise as she recieved her diploma, held it up for a picture, and walked back to her seat by me and Rose. Her face was red as she sat down beside us. "Thanks for the support," she muttered.
"Well, you're welcome. You didn't trip." I smiled sweetly at her. "No really, it's something we want you to experience as a human."
"Well thanks, now that you' ve made this sound totally overly morbid."
"What have I made sound totally and overly morbid?" I questioned.
"Oh, nothing," Bella said icily. "Just the change, being one you guys, Jasper killing me, that kind of thing."
"Ok ok ok sorry! Let's just shut up and watch for the rest of the ceremony."
Bella agreed, and after the ceremony we filed out "like we were supposed to", as the teacher put it.
"Now can I can take it off?" I whined to Rose.
"Nope. Picture time," Rose smiled.
"Another one?" I moaned. "How many pictures do these people need?"
"Actually, this next one's for Carlisle," Jasper said behind me.
I leaned backed and kissed him. "Then can we go home?"
"I guess. Do you need your sleep?" he teased.
"No. But maybe you do." I ran my hand across his chest. ''Or maybe we both do," I considered playfully.
"Mmm...maybe."
"Ugh! Would you two cut it out?!" Edward blocked us as I envisioned myself... with Jasper.
I giggled. "Sorry. But you should see yourself sometimes."
Edward let out a soft growl and glared at Emmett, who had apparantly thought something inappropriate.
Edward bent down and kissed Bella softly on the lips. There was a soft click behind us. Esme smiled sweetly and held up a digital camera, showing us a cute little picture of Eddie kissing Bella.
"Aw, you guys are so cute!" Emmett chuckled.
"Well, apparantly not everyone thought so. Charlie saw that and isn't very happy right now. So Carlisle," I turned to him,"If I were you, I'd go ahead and get that family picture you so direly want of us." I sighed.
Carlisle smiled softly. "All right." He waited a moment. We all stood around looking at each other. He sighed. "Pose! Do something so I can take a picture and then let Charlie's wrath rain down upon us. Bella, anyway." He smiled and I knew he would do anything to help Bella get out of this.
