Vicky and I had given up looking for Edward a while ago. We became the best of friends and I had gotten over my aversion of thinking of Edward. Now when I think of the moments that used to hurt me, I laugh and think how much of a lie all of it was. Vicky and I were in the car speeding our way towards Forks High School. We had just moved in yesterday and were now going to our first day of school there. I was honestly excited about seeing my old home again, it would be funny to see how the town had changed since then, or hasn't changed. Vicky's voice brought me out of my thoughts.
"Bella, we're here." It was actually her who suggested coming here. Neither of us had found a mate, or in her case, a new one. We liked it that way, no men to drag us down. No one to consult on decisions except each other.
"Cool, can't wait! Vicky why don't you drive a little faster so that we aren't late?" Our cover story was pretty simple. Our mom and dad were always out of town on buisness and we were twin sisters. During my change my hair had taken on more of a reddish tone making it similar to Vicky's, but much duller. She pushed the pedal down farther and we were soon parked and walking towards the front office. We checked in and got the necessary materials and went to first period. That's when the scent hit us, others of our kind. To be specific, the ones we had spent decadees looking for decades. Wonderful, we stop looking for them and we find them. Were is the logic and right in that. "Vicky, they are here."
"I know, but don't say anything to them. Left them come to us."
"Good idead Vicky." So as we walked to class, they apparently noticed our presense and approached us. They didn't notice who I was. Edward was the first to speak.
"Victoria, aren't you a little to old to be in high school?" Victoria just looked at me and we both busted out laughing. He noticed me there, but not who I was thank goodness, that would make this no fun at all. "Who are you, Victoria new follower?"
"In a way I guess, but I asked her to change me. It's a funner story actually, but you might not think it is so funny." The whole Cullen family gave me funny looks which I took as my cue to continue. "See I lived in this small town and this coven of vampires came. I was singer to one of them and we insedently I fell in love." They were all interested now, but a little pained. I have no idead why, it isn't like they missed me. "So the one I fell in love with fed me all these lies about how he loved me and then one day told me in no longer loved and his family left me, heartbroken. So I mopped for a while and then came across Vicky here and we made an agreement of sorts," She and idea smiled at that, "and she changed me." They all stared at me, I guess they remember. "Oh how rude of me, I know you and you know Vicky, but you don't know me. At least not any more." I added that last part with ditaste. Vicky and I smiled.
"Nice one! You got them." We high fived, we had wanted to do this forever, literly. Brave guy Emmett was the first to regain his ability to speak.
"Bella, is that you?" He asked warily as if he was afraid of the anwser.
"Yes it is Emmett, how not nice to see you again." All of their faces crumpled with hurt and pain. Why are they upset, they are the ones who had WANTED to LEAVE me in the first place.
"Bella," Edward voice was a whisper but no longer had the same affect on me.
"What do you want EDWARD." I said his name with such vemon in my voice, more than I even knew I could.
"Do you really believe your own story?"
"Of course I do, what's it to you?"
"I lied." He hung his head in shame as did the rest of them shortly after.
"Tell me something I didn't already know!"
"I lied when I said that I didn't love you anymore." His voice no more than a whisper.
"Excuse me? Don't try and make excuses for past actions Edward." I wasn't going to let him sweet talk me into believing that he had always loved me, blah blah blah... "Edward I don't have time for more of your lies. Vicky," I turned to her and said, "let's get to class."
"Okay Bella." They called after me but I didn't acknowledge them. We weren't late for class, because of what we are. Our long conversation took only minutes. I decided that would stay. I told Victoria this and that if we stayed it would hurt him more than if we left. My constant presense and my hanging out with someone he considers an enemy.
