Panda: I'm actually really pleased with how the first chapter turned out. I hope everyone else is because there is an actually story that is going to happen I'm just lazy and felt the need to make it a bit… funny. But I'm not really all that funny… Anyway. On with the story.
Kari: Gust of Wind
Chapter two: Of Boredom and Dates (AKA the super douche bag she calls dad)
It has been about two weeks since I was given permission to attend high school and many things have occurred since then. Like Emmet and Alec, no matter how much they seem to dislike each other are getting cooking lessons from Esmè and using Jake as their testing ginny pig. Seth will be also coming to school with us along with Janie because Papa and Edward seem to think Ren and I need to be watched over. Neither Janie nor Seth is excited about this but it'll be Seth's senior year so it won't be too bad. Caius has given me a five hundred and seventy-two page book about nothing that every two weeks I must translate a chapter into French.
"Kari, Renesme and Alice are here." I looked up at Janie who had popped her head into the door. Alice was taking Janie, Ren and I shopping for a first day outfit because she felt we all needed the perfect outfit. Let's just say Jane was not pleased with idea of shopping with Alice. I wasn't a big fan of it either but hey, she took us to pretty wicked places.
I tugged on a tight black t-shirt over the tank top I was wearing and slipped on a pair of blue flip flops. Following Jane down the halls, I half expect to see Seth as well but he probably got Alice to understand that he was a guy and really didn't care if he had a new outfit for school. Hell, I didn't even care but apparently it didn't matter because Alice was dead-set on shopping.
Well anyway, after shopping I had gotten a mid-thigh length white v-neck, lace back, long sleeved, floral dress, and matching flats and some light pink legging. Renesme had gotten dark blue skinnies, black heels, red tank top and a black vest. Jane got a nice white button up and light blue jean skirt and some converse. I think high school will be the only time Jane will dress like a teenage girl. She even said that after school she would not be seen until she put on her normal clothing, usually only ever consisting of black.
Alice dropped us off, Renesme staying with me because she wanted to borrow something of mine for a date with Jacob that night. Jane immediately left us, promising to see me when the game was on but at that moment she needed to torture someone. God of mercy on whomever she chose. Ren followed me up to my room and dropped her bag on a bean bag chair near the one that had my laptop on it.
"Renny, what are you guys doing for the date anyway?" I asked her and flopped down on my beanbag, loading facebook on my laptop. She muttered something that I couldn't here. "Repeat that?"
"Dinner and then the beach." She replied, stepping out with nothing but a purple and gold Juicy Couture bag in her hand. She tossed it on my bed next to her bag and looked at me. "Any suggestions?"
I closed my laptop again and pondered this for a moment. "Fancy or Casual?"
Renesme shrugged. "Not fancy but not casual."
I nodded and went into my closet. I had no clue what not fancy but not casual meant. This was Heidi's thing, not mine. I groaned and went through my racks before I found something that I most definitely did not put there. Why was there something red and lacy in my closet? I shook my head, choosing to ignore it.
Finally I found what I was looking for, a flowy purple skirt that stopped a few inches above the knee, a white tank with lace on the bottom and top and a black denim blazer. I brought them out and held the outfit out to her. "If not this skirt maybe a pair of light denim shorts or skinny jeans." I told her and went in and came back out with a pair of each.
Renesme seemed to consider this before shaking her head. "I'm not sure. The jeans might be too much because of the jacket but I want the jacket because it's absolutely sexy. The skirt is a little too virgin Mary in my opinion. So the shorts it is! Any shoes?"
"Don't you have your own shoes? Alice's Jimmy Choo boots would be perfect for this outfit." I mentioned and folded my jeans and hung up the skirt. I had to agree on the skirt, the only reason I had it was because Jane thought it would be something decent to wear in front of mama. I should visit her after school tomorrow.
"Kar, you are amazing. I'm gonna head home because Alice is outside again and I'll text you how it went when I get back." I nodded and followed her out and to the entrance hall. "I'll see yah."
"Use a condom!" I called after her, laughing loudly when she turned to me with a blush and a glare. I waved to her and trotted up stairs, back to my room. I was too use to the quiet of the castle, I loved being at the Cullen's house. Someone was always having fun and being loud and it just made the atmosphere home-like. I had never known that except for when I was there and now, being alone in my room after being with other people all day felt almost… lonely.
Kari Volturi says someone come amuse me, I'm lonely… T_T

I growled and slammed my laptop shut. This was becoming a really pathetic existence. Slowly I stood up and left my room, walking down to the common den where Alec, Felix, Santiago, Heidi and Jane were all watching football (or soccer as the Cullen's called it). Japan against Italy. Of course they were all for Italy but I was a Japan, I liked when they yelled out things in a language that sounded like jibberish to my ears.
I plopped down next to Felix only to have him place his arm over my shoulder and start screaming to Italy. So I decided to start yelling to Japan. "GO JAPAN!" I screamed, looking at Felix while I did so. His mouth was agape and he removed his arm.
"How could you? YOU'RE ITALIAN! HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?" Felix was so melodramatic that is was scary sometimes. I shrugged and he continued to keep yelling about me being Italian and having no spirit for my country.
"Actually Felix, I'm Estonian and … fuck…" I growled remember that my English born, Estonian mother was in Italy when she met Leo, my father. I was Italian. I growled again and crossed my arms, sulking. I hated Felix right now and was completely tempted to ask Jane to torture him.
The moment he noticed I had stopped, he knew he won which caused him to pick me up, throw me over his shoulder and run about the castle, easily ignoring papa's call to put me down. I pounded my fists onto his back, officially making it clear I was no longer amused and more close to being sick.
"Felix, put Kari down." He immediately put my down at the sound of Marcus' voice, causing me to bump into the wall in my dizziness. Marcus held my arm, helping as I steadied myself and turned back to Felix. "Go back to watching your game."
"Bye-bye, Karikinz." Felix ran back to the room and left me with Marcus. I guess you could say it was slightly awkward because of the fact we were both unsure of what to do. Now before you go and say kiss him or something silly like that I should inform you of Marcus' and mines relationship.
We didn't have one, well, we did but it's not romantic. We're each other's best friend, always there for each other. Okay, so there isn't much I can do for a man who is too apathetic for his own good but I'm pretty much positive he likes the company I can provide. And yes I know there is that annoying sexual tension, Alec likes to make sure we both know this whenever he catches us together but I tend to ignore him and Marcus just gets silent… err… more than usual. But we would never do anything to compromise our friendship, at least I wouldn't but Marcus is a man and who (besides Edward) knows what goes on in a man's head.
"You have school tomorrow; you should get some dinner and go to bed." With that he walked off, black cloak bellowing behind him. God, Severus Snape much? I shrugged and skipped down the halls towards the kitchen. I could really go for one of my badass sammiches. Turkey, mustard, a slice of white American cheese, tomato and maybe some ham if we had any.
I made my sandwich, including the ham and hurried up to bed. During my so called dinner Renesme had sent me a text. Let's just say it wasn't a picture perfect night.
Renny: Ugh!
Me: What Jake do?
Renny: IT WASN'T JAKE!
Me: …Then who?
Renny: My dipshit of a dad, that's who.
Me: Ahhhh
Renny: And now I'm getting yelled at, again, for calling him a dipshit.
Me: Sorry Rennykinz.
Renny: He is such a douche bag!
Me: I see… Well, how did your date go?
Renny: It didn't thanks to the super douche bag I call dad.
Me: Care to elaborate?
Renny: Sure. Alice had a vision of me agreeing to have sex with Jake, douche bag saw it
Me: And the moral of the story is… you're dad is a douche bag
Renny: I know. And it's not like I was saying I'd do it now or even any time soon, just that he'd be the one I lost my v-card to
Me: Douche Bag didn't understand that did he?
Renny: NO! Hell, he has a conniption every time I hug or kiss it. We're fucking imprint, what does he not understand about that? My mom was even fine with it after I explained that I didn't plan on having sex anytime soon.
Me: Was he the only one throwing a hissy fit about it?
Renny: Yes. Even Emmy said it was bound to happen and that super douche should just accept it
Me: He just doesn't like that he once went after your mom and is now going after you
Renny: He doesn't have to go after me, he has me
Me: Edward is a bitch. Just sayin'.
Renny: He's bitching still and has been since I left the house after he read my thoughts and found out I called him a dipshit.
Me: How do you know he's still complaining?
Renny: Because Jake finally got out of the line of fire and came after me.
Me: Go spend some time with your man, Imma go to bed. Tell me how the rest goes down at school tomorrow.
Renny: Night, Kar.
I groaned and rolled into bad clad in my bunny pjs that I adored so much. A lavender tank and shorts with white bunny ear head band, bunny tail attached to the shorts and bunny paws as gloves. Most would find this all very uncomfortable. I was actually very comfortable and rigged the head band to stay on as I slept.
I stayed in bed for a while, listening to Emilie Autumn and Kerli and 2NE1 on my iPod. I was awake in bed for about an hour before I sat up, setting my iPod on the pillow next to me and walked down the hall towards Marcus' room. I slowly opened the door and peaked in.
"Marcus?" I called in before stepping all the way in. He turned away from the book he was reading on the couch where he sat and motioned for me to close the door and come sit next to him.
"Yes, Kari?"
I sat next to him and then positioned myself to curl up on the other two seats and have my head in his lap. "Will you read to me?" I believe we spent most of our time asking questions and nodding or shaking our head, instead using our body language to answer each other's questions. We had simple conversations but they were meaningful to me.
"What would you like me to read?" He asked, marking his page and leaned forward slightly to set the book on the coffee table that had several books with marked pages. He sat back again and I rolled onto my side to read the labels on the spines of the leather bound books. I turned onto my back with my choice in my hands. "Mid Summer's Night again?"
I nodded and turned my head, burying it in his lower torso, getting comfy while he starts to read. Marcus' voice has always been calming to me. When I was younger I went to papa or Alec to tell me fairy tales but then one night, on the way to papa's study I noticed that Marcus was reading and had several books in his room. That was the night I started going to Marcus to read to me instead of papa or Alec.
I woke up groggy in Marcus' bed, him still on the couch reading what he had been reading before I had interrupted him. With a short good morning, I dragged myself from his overly large but amazingly comfy bed and into my room to shower and get changed.
I showered for quite a while before wrapping a towel around my body and blow drying my hair and doing my make-up with grey eye-liner with pink and red eye shadow and a pale pink lipstick. I straighten my hair and got dressed, not putting on the legging I had bought because it was too warm outside for that and I was letting Jane wear them because she felt her skirt was too short and she needed to cover her legs, good thing I got the long leggings. She had refused to wear her hair down so sadly Jane reminded me of the Queen Virgin, which I kept to myself.
She met me down in the kitchen, dropping her backpack down next to mine and sitting across from me, clearly unhappy. I chomped down my original captain crunch cereal and giggled. She looked up and glared. "What?"
"You're how old and finally going to high school?" She glared again and I busted into an unstoppable fit of laughter. Just then papa walked into the dining room, giving my forehead a kiss and warning me to behave myself. I smiled and agree. I couldn't wait for school to start.
