New Moon- Bella's Birthday party, page 28
I took the package from Alice, another birthday present. I stuck my finger under the wrapping paper and jerked it to remove the tape.
"Shoot," I muttered when the paper sliced my finger. I pulled it out to examine the damage. A single drop of blood oozed from my tiny cut.
It all happened so fast then.
Esme gave me a death glare as the drop dripped down and fell onto the carpet, staining it. She crouched and lunged, tackling me and pinning me to the ground.
"You idiot!" she yelled to me. "I just got new carpet installed!" You don't just run around to other people's houses getting paper cuts and staining their carpet, do you? It's just plain rude!" she screamed, pointing her finger in my face.
Jasper ran out of the room screaming like a little girl at Esme's wrath. Edward attempted to look nonchalant, whistling a mindless tune and scooting away from the scene. Rosalie looked bored, examining her nails and walking into the kitchen. Emmett was too busy staring at the TV, programmed on ESPN, to even notice what was going on. Alice noticed she had a loose thread on her scarf and screamed, running into her room to sew it back up.
"Oh, poor baby! I hope you're okay!" I heard Alice coo to her scarf while in her room.
Carlisle attempted to pull Esme off me, but Esme would not be moved.
"Esme, you are overreacting, so chill! We're so filthy rich we can just get another carpet installed! Come on, let Bella get up so we can go take our hourly money bath," He told her.
"Oh, okay, sorry about that Bella!" she said and skipped off to her room. Carlisle followed, and I was alone with Emmett, who was still drawn to the TV. But now, it was a tampon advertisement he was staring at.
I sighed and went to find Edward.
