Chapter 2 – Psychic
"Hi, Edward."
I looked up from my computer screen to find Alice Brandon. She was barely five feet tall and if it wasn't for the makeup and impeccable fashion sense she had, she'd look more like an elementary school kid rather than a nearly graduated high school student.
Alice and I weren't necessarily friends, but we socialized from time to time. She meant well. Sometimes she got on my nerves though. She had so much energy I always assumed she was on some drug. One time I heard her telling some other kid about their future.
"What can I do for you, Alice?"
Without asking, she took a seat next to me. I wouldn't have cared if she wasn't in my face.
"I met this amazing woman this past week on the boardwalk! She was grumbling to herself about her selfish boyfriend who went further up the boardwalk without her. Anyway, she kicked a bench out of frustration then yelled. I went to her aid and we got to talking. She's awesome!"
"I didn't realize you swung that way, Alice," I sarcastically said. Everyone in our school knew she was dating Jasper Whitlock, a guy who graduated last year.
"Oh, shut it! Anyway, we've got plans to hit the boardwalk up this year a couple times a week. I think she'd be a good compliment for you."
I glared at her. "Alice, do not go setting me up with some taken girl."
"She texted me and said the boyfriend was dumped. Didn't seem too down in the dumps about it either. She said they'd be going out a couple months, but it wasn't rainbows and unicorns."
"And by talking and texting to this girl for a week is enough for you to justify that she and I are a good match?"
"Yes! I saw it in a vision!"
I shook my head. "You're crazy, Alice."
"Don't doubt me, Cullen. I'll prove you wrong. See you on the boardwalk for fudge!"
