Here is the next week of my life in this weird twilight world.
Am I in the wrong world?
My weekend was okay. I did all my homework, played on Sims 2, chat to friends on facebook and updated the last week's chapter of this fanfic. Anyway my weekend was normal for me.
I woke up Monday morning to the normal cloudy morning. I could get used to this. I got dressed in a clean pair of jeans, a long white sleeve shirt and a short red sleeve shirt on top of it. I also made sure I was wearing my scarf. I had a quick shower and breakfast, and then drove to school.
I was greeted by a few people in the car park when I arrived at school. I hope Edward was back from his trip in Alaska. If not, who knows how this story might go.
We had an English pop quiz on Wuthering Heights. I just guessed what they were as I had no idea what the hell the story was about. However I did flip through the pages of the book. I think I could do okay on this quiz.
When English had finish, I and Mike walked outside when it started to snow. I don't know what Bella has against snow but me, I love it. I remember last year, we missed days off of school because it had snowed so much. I looked at the snow in amazement.
I turned to look at Mike who was watching me.
"Are we allowed to throw snowballs?"
As if to answer my question, a snowball hit Mike on the head.
I started to laugh and walk away as I didn't want to get hit by a snowball. I laughed all my way to the next class. By then, I had managed to calm down.
Throughout the rest of my morning, people were talking excitedly about the snow. It was the first snowfall of the year.
I mange to dodge a couple of snowballs but I still got hit. I threw a couple of my own in random directions so they could of hit anything or anyone.
When it was lunch time, I and Jessica were walking to the cafe dodging snowballs along the way. I knew this snow wouldn't last long.
When we had reached the cafe, Jessica had gone off to get her food while I was looking towards the Cullens table. They were all there. Even Edward. Bella was right; they look like they belong in a film. I quickly turned back to Jessica who was paying and then walked to me. We both sat down with her friends. A few of the boys joined us at the table.
I was sitting next to Angela, eating my lunch quietly. Mike was planning a big snowball fight in the car park after school. Jessica, being the blind woman she is, agreed to it. I also agreed but I knew we wouldn't be able to do it.
After I finished my lunch, I watched the Cullens. I didn't feel any need to shy away from them whatsoever.
"Shannon, what are you staring at?" Jessica asked. Edward then looked up at me. I turned to face Jessica.
"Edward Cullen is staring at you." Jessica giggled.
"You don't say." I said sarcastically.
"Ha ha."
"Stop looking at him." She turned away at that.
I started to drum the table while humming quietly and softly. At least I thought it was quietly.
"What are you humming?" Angela asked.
Of course, with her paying attention and sitting next to me, she would be able to hear me.
"Goodbye by Miley Cyrus. The chorus is really catchy."
It was almost time for biology when I and Angela left. Good thing Mike didn't notice. Who knew Angela could be sneaky?
When we got outside, it was raining. This of course washed away all the traces of snow making it impossible for that snow fight.
"Oh well, I guess we won't be able to have that snowball fight." I told Angela.
We both walked to biology together. When we reach the classroom, Angela went to sit at her desk while I sat at mine. Edward, of course, was not here yet. I took this advantage and made sure my bare neck was not in his line of sight.
I then took out my notebook and started to draw squares from small to big. I was making it look like a tunnel. I heard the chair move besides me but I kept on drawing.
"Hello." He's voice sound smooth and musical. I look up at him.
"My name is Edward Cullen. I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Shannon Tighe." I noticed his eyes were a golden colour.
"Yes." I then turned away from him.
Luckily, Mr Banner chose the moment to start teaching. Sadly though, he was giving us a task we had to do with our partners. Brilliant. It's what Bella and Edward had to do in their second biology lesson they had together.
"Get started." He commanded.
"Ladies first, partner."
He pushed the microscope to me. Instead of looking up like Bella did, I pulled it towards me.
I picked up the first slide and put it in place. I've never done this at school because I never took Biology for A levels. I had spent some of my weekend trying to remember what onion root tip cell was which. I had looked on the internet to see if there was anything I should keep my eyes out for.
I adjusted the microscope and had a quick look. It was exactly what I thought it was.
"Prophase." I then push it to him. He took a quick look.
"Prophase." He agreed writing it down.
I rolled my eyes. He then went for the next slide and had a look.
"Anaphase." He wrote it down.
I pulled the microscope towards me before he could switch the slides. I took a look at it myself. I knew he would be right but I wanted to check anyway.
"Can I have the next slide?" I asked without looking at him.
He gave it to me without touching me. I switched the slides and studied the cell.
"Interphase." I pushed it to him.
That is how it went for the next few minutes. After that, I was looking around the classroom to see what everyone else was doing. Mr Banner came over a few minutes later.
"So, Edward, didn't you think Shannon should get a chance with the microscope?" He asked.
"Actually, she identified three of the five."
"Have you done this in lab before?"
"No."
"Then how did you know about this."
"I kind of found some books in the library back home on this. It was kind of interesting." I lied smoothly. He turned around to look at everyone else's sheets.
"It's too bad about the snow, isn't it?"
"Yeah, but I guess that's the way things have to be."
"Is Forks a different place for you to live?" he asked.
"No, not really." He seemed interested in what I said.
Awkward.
"Why did you move to Forks?" No one had asked me that.
"Well, my Dad had work over here and I wanted to come along since I've never been to America before."
"What about your family? Won't they miss you?"
"They'll survive. I mean, I with my dad. What could possible happen while I'm here?"
Probably get killed by me, was probably going through his head. He then flashed a smile showing his teeth. He was trying to scare me but however, Mr Banner called back our attention. So I didn't get scared.
He showed what all the slides were, which of course we got all right.
When the bell went for the next lesson, just like last week, Edward left his chair swiftly. He is not very good at this. Must be old age (LOL).
I packed my bag and turned to Mike. We walked out of the building and started to the gym.
"That was awful." He groaned. "They all looked exactly the same. You're lucky you had Cullen for a partner."
"Yeah but if you pay attention you're most likely to learn things." He looked at me like I was strange. "I heard someone say it at school." I lied.
"Cullen seemed friendly today."He commented.
He didn't sound happy about that, but since when do I care about made believe characters I'm not really big on.
"Yeah. Might have wanted to make it up to me from what happen last week." He looked at me like I was crazy. "He was probably having a bad day."
I played volleyball in PE and let me just say it is nothing like in video games. In video games, I'm good at volleyball, real life, not really. I didn't hit the ball much but my team managed to do okay. Once PE was over, I walked swiftly out of the changing room and towards my truck.
This was when Bella swear she saw Edward laugh at her because she wasn't paying attention. Now I can't let that happen to me. I open my truck and jumped in closing the door in the progress. I closed my eyes in concentration.
A few seconds later, I opened my eyes and saw guess who in the mirror.
Edward Freaking Hot Cullen.
I turned away from him and slowly reversed out of the parking space, being careful not to hit the Toyota in the progress.
Luckily for me, I didn't. Gosh, I'm so damn lucky these days, must be from my awesome twilight knowledge.
Once I got home, I got started on my homework and at six, I got started on dinner. Dad, of course, got home around seven. We had dinner and afterwards, I went on fanfiction to read stories and also write some more. My one story A New Beginning had gotten a bit popular and was the only story I worked the most on. I worked on the others but they weren't as popular as A New Beginning.
I turned off my laptop near ten o'clock and got ready for bed.
I woke to light coming in my room. I got up and looked outside. If I knew Stephenie Meyer before she wrote twilight, I would had ask her to have Bella fainting when she opened the curtains at this point. That would have been funny.
Instead of seeing the outside of the house a deadly ice slick, I saw it as an awesome opportunity to slide around like I was ice skating (yeah I know that's weird but I've never been ice skating before, if you think that's shocking don't worry you're not the only one, my friend Jessica was also shocked).
I took a quick shower and got dressed in jeans, a green sweater, a red sweater vest, black fluffy boots, light blue arm warmers and my black scarf. I had some breakfast and quickly brush my teeth before leaving the house and locking the door in the progress.
I made sure I was extra careful not sure if my dad had put snow chains on the truck or not. I had made it to school safely. I got out of the truck and something caught my eye.
I bent down and saw chains on my truck. Wow, I feel totally loved right now. I smiled at the chains (that's not weird that's just normal, anyone would do that) and got back up again when I heard it. Let me just say it was a really high pitch sound that did not go well with my ear drums. I turned around and saw a van coming towards me. It was all going too fast.
My thoughts were at this moment.
OH MY GOD!
I also noticed Edward with a shock expression.
So I slightly had a bit of hope as the time when Bella was going to get hit came to my mind. Suddenly I was hit from my side. I closed my eyes not wanting to see the rest. That's when the screaming came.
"Are you okay?" Asked that musical voice of his.
I opened my eyes to see him looking at me. He was holding me to his body.
"No because I prefer not to be touched by boys but other than that I'm fine." I tried to pull away from him but he was too strong.
That's what I get for having a vampire save me. Well at least it's a cold skin vampire than a burning hot skin werewolf.
"Be careful. I think you hit your head pretty hard." He warned.
Ha! If he only knew how many head injures I've had.
"I do not have a concussion. " I growled through my teeth.
The lesson today is never wind me up. This is what happens when you do. Well that and violence. Another difference between me and Bella, I have anger issues.
"You did hit your head pretty hard though." I rolled my eyes at him.
"I hit my head even harder when I was thrown off a horse when I was seven years old." Growling still.
He chuckled but let go of me which I was grateful for. He slid away from my in the small space area.
"You by your car." His laughter was cut short.
Ha! That's what happens when you mess with me vampire boy.
"Shannon, I was standing right beside you."
I was not in the mood for this argument so I went straight for the kill.
"Oh really. If you were standing next to me, how comes I don't remember a hello or what's up?
"You were busy doing something."
"I do not call looking at snow chains keeps me being busy just interested." I rolled my eyes at him.
He just looked at my eyes searching for something. I'll make sure he won't find that something because he might be on to me. Let's me just tell you, I'm not all that good at reading people's emotions from their eyes.
So I started to get up. Edward pushed me back now on the ground.
"I think you should stay put for now."
Ha! Now when do I listen to doctors? Well I do listen to them if it helps me get better but when I was on crutches I started to walk earlier than they expected.
"But the ground is cold and I'm perfectly fine." I heard him chuckle under his breath. "Not to mention I saw you by your car which is quite far away from here." He's laughter stopped when I started to talk.
"Shannon, I was standing beside you and pulled you out of the way." I gave him a look that said yeah right.
"Sure you were. I'm just losing that's all." I said sarcastically. He just rolled his eyes.
"Please Shannon." He begged.
Wow! A human making a vampire beg that's not something you see every day.
"Fine." I got up as the van was pushed out of the way.
There was an ambulance and luckily for me, my Dad wasn't here, yet. Somehow Edward refused his. I told them that I was fine too. That I had worst head injures than that. But a certain someone told them I had hit my head very hard that I almost passed out. So they wanted to check me over. I manage to get away from those ambulance people and get into the back of the ambulance.
Edward was at the front. Lucky bastard. Also I was lucky for getting out of being centre of attention so far. The driver turned around to face me with Edward watching too.
"Are you sure you should have done that Miss? You could have fainted." He said worriedly.
"Look, I've never fainted before in my whole entire life. Plus I had worst. Like being thrown off a horse, my brother dropping me when giving me a piggyback ride, which I must say hurt since I cried or was it screamed," I shook my head, "anyway had football or soccer balls as you Americans call them, hit my head. So yeah I had worst."
The driver shook his head and turned back to the front. A woman had come in the ambulance.
"Come sweetie. You better sit down." I did as she said and we rode to the hospital in silent.
The woman checking my head for injures along the way. When we reached the hospital, Edward was able to walk into the hospital under his own power. I on the hand wasn't allowed to that. I had to go in on a stretcher. If it wasn't going into the hospital, I might actually enjoy this.
I was dumped on a bed in some room. Soon after, some other kid came in. Not just any kid either, it was Tyler C. Oh god; this is not going to be fun.
"Shannon, I'm so sorry!"
"I'm fine. Are you okay?"
The dude was covered in a lot of blood. Good think I'm not squeamish except for this one time in Science when my teacher dissected a sheep's eye but then I got used to it when a year afterwards she dissected an animal's lung and the year after that she had us dissect a lamb's heart. I must say it was awesome! I put my finger through some holes and some of the boys were messing around. I think.
"I thought I was going to kill you! I was going too fast, and I hit the ice wrong..." He was thankfully force to stop talking when one of the nurses made him wince.
I like nurses. They are so awesome sometimes.
"Ya missed me."
"How did you get out of the way so fast? One moment you were there, the next you weren't."
How to explain this to a confuse guy? I mean a confuse character. That's it.
"Edward Cullen pulled me out of the way."
"Cullen? I didn't see him... wow, it was all so fast, I guess. Is he okay?" Why would Tyler want to know that?
"Yep."
No. He's kind of annoying me with all this high and mighty power his got, like getting into the front of the ambulance to not getting a stretcher. Git. Normally, I don't use rude language but when I get annoyed I do.
They had me wheeled into a room so I could get my skull x-ray. This is a slight risk of cancer to my skin or brain damage. Now that's what I call Physics. I of course was right, not about the risk thing but the thing with there is NOTHING wrong with me. Ha! Take that Doctor! (Get it! Take that as in the band. Sorry but I'm kind of hyper now!) How does it feel to be proven wrong by an English 17 year old girl!
I'm now in the same room as annoying boy! Hey that's Tyler's nickname. Only I will call him that. Well in my head. Kind of like Suze does with her step brothers. Jake is called Sleepy, Brad is called Dopey and David is called Doc.
I was getting harassed by annoying boy so I put on my headphones, turned my music up so I couldn't hear him and relaxed. After a few songs, someone pulled a headphone out of one of my ears. I opened my eyes and saw Edward, who was sitting on Tyler's bed, staring at me with a smirk on his face. I turned my music off which happened to be Decode which kind of describes him in a way. With the line:
If you are a man at all.
I love that song. Anyway I got into a sitting position.
"May I help you monsieur?" (I was feeling a bit French for a moment so I had to add the sir bit on, plus I want to see if he knows it.) He rolled his eyes but answered anyway.
"Yes. What's the verdict?"
What on earth?
"Huh?"
I had no idea what verdict means.
"What's wrong with you?"
Oh. That makes sense now. Dude should speak English.
"There's nothing wrong with me but they won't let me go. How comes you're not been checked over like the rest of us."
"It's all about who you know." Carlisle. "But don't worry I came to spring you."
As on cue, a doctor came in. Who was this doctor may you ask? Well it was none other than Dr Carlisle Cullen. He looks exactly like Peter Facinelli except with blond hair.
It's so cool. I've never met any famous people but my cousin has. I'm surrounded by actors however this is real and not made belief.
The only celeb I recognise in the film was Edward Cullen because he played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the goblet of fire. I'm a Harry Potter and Twilight fan but some Twilight fans don't like Harry Potter and most Harry Potter fans don't like Twilight. It's because they say they are extremely different but I can see a lot of similarities. I can also do it with Edward and Jacob. I like to say the differences are the similarities. Anyway I blabbing aren't I, sorry.
"So, Miss Tighe, how are you feeling?"
"Great." He walked over to the wall to look at my x-rays.
"Your X-rays look good. Does your head hurt? Edward said you hit it pretty hard."
I sent a look at Edward before turning back to Carlisle.
"My head is fine."
Carlisle fingers touched my skull lightly and I didn't wince once.
"I believe your father is in the waiting room. You can go home with him. Come back if you feel dizzy."
He didn't mention my eyesight as I was wearing my glasses.
"Can't I go back to school?" I asked.
"I think you should take it easy." I looked at Edward.
"Does he get to go back to school?" I asked.
"Someone has to spread the good news we survived." I don't think that's necessary.
"Actually, most of the school seems to be in the waiting room." I thought so.
"Wow, how many people can actually fit in that waiting room?" I asked randomly.
This got me odd looks.
"Do you want to stay?"
"No." I hopped off the bed and walked over to Edward.
"I'm afraid that you'll have to stay with us just a little longer." Carlisle said to Tyler.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I whispered to Edward.
"Your father is waiting for you."
Yeah I think I got that part.
"I'm sure he can wait a bit longer."
Yeah, he was able to wait in long lines at Thorpe park. He glared at me but got up anyway and walked out of the room. I had to walk fast to catch up with him. Once we turned a corner, he turned around and faced me.
"What do you want?" He sounded well annoyed. Probably was.
"I want to know how you stopped the van."
Who wouldn't? You'll want to know too if you didn't know about vampires. I just had to say to keep up the act.
"You hit your head. I just pulled you out the way."
"No you didn't."
"What do you think happened?"
"I saw you by your car which was nowhere near my car. Plus I don't remember being pulled. There also happens to be nothing wrong with my head. And finally, Tyler didn't see you anywhere near me. So I'm not the only one." I finished with my arms crossed in front of me.
"Nobody will believe that, you know."
"I wasn't going to tell anyone."
Who would believe it anyway? I think my cousin might. I'll have to tell her when I get home. Not that he knows that anyway. He looked surprise. He didn't expect that.
"Then why does it matter?" He asked.
"I just want to know the truth."
Yeah. Just admit what you are and then everybody will be happy. Well maybe not Rosalie. But I don't think he will admit it.
"Can't you just thank me and get over it?" I can do the first thing but not the second.
"Thank you."
"You're not going to let this go, are you?" I shook my head frowning. "Well I hope you enjoy disappointment."
I huffed and turned around to walk away. I kept walking until I reached the waiting room. It had almost everyone there from school, which is a lot if I say so myself. I saw my dad walk to me.
"Well."
"Dr Cullen said there was nothing wrong with me. Now let's go." I was not in the mood to face anyone now.
Good thing this place wasn't packed. I am lucky my dad is not a policeman.
We drove home in silent. Except when my dad told me he had to go back to work so I'll be on my own for a while. Which will be even better. My dad dropped me off and luckily my truck was here.
I raced inside and got Vampires Suck which will lighten my mood. I raced downstairs and put the film on. It involved me doing a lot of laughing and a lot of talking. Once it was over, I took the DVD out and walked back upstairs.
I turned my laptop on before I took my lunch out of my bag. I went on msn and was lucky to find my cousin online.
Hey Chloe!
Hey Shannon. Shouldn't you be in school?
I was in an accident so Carlisle told me I had to go home.
Let me guess, Edward saved you from your death.
Yeah, I had to confront him to act like I didn't know what he was.
They might find out soon you know.
Yeah but I'm going to tell him when I go to Port Angeles with Jessica and Angela.
Okay. Well I got to go see ya!
Bye!
That was it. The rest of the day was boring. The next day was also boring. Edward ignored me in biology. I didn't say hello though. Tyler joined the gang of people I don't want to be friends with. That does not include Angela. I became centre of attention. Which made me get Angela and we would sit at another table but they always follow us. I'm starting to think me and Angela should sit with the Cullens but I didn't want to get that far yet. So the rest of my week was annoying because I kept getting harassed by most people.
I've finally finished this chapter. I hoped you enjoyed it like I enjoyed the royal wedding yesterday!
