I don't know how or when it happened but lately I have been feeling kinda different around Alice- not a bad kind of different just well different. I mean I have always enjoyed her company with her optimistic and happy way of life but lately I seem to be more waiting for the classes we have together and when we say hug and say goodbye when I drop her at her door wanting to linger just a bit longer and hold the moment.
I was waiting in the kitchen watching Emmet and Edward fight over a sausage like a bear and a lion or something both fierce and both hungry. I laughed to myself watching them with great amusement. We have always been friends and I don't think I would want anyone else to be engaged to Rose even though I'd say they couldn't find someone more in love with the other if they searched all the world over- well except themselves. I have not seen two people more in love with themselves or each other. Well, actually Edward and Bella are quite in love too and also Esme and Carlisle- Alice's parents. Carlisle is a doctor in the local hospital, loved by all his patients and by the nurses and female staff but he only has eyes for his wife Esme- caring and gentle woman who adores her children and husband and treats Rose and I as her own children. We are one big happy family. My parents love both me and Rose greatly but are currently away because of a very important business deal. We spend most of our time at the Cullen house anyway as does Bella. I was still watching the two animals when Alice came rushing into the kitchen. I looked up and smiled at her "Morning Ali"
"Morning Jazz" she smiled at me. I love when she smiles- it makes my day better knowing that she's happy- it always has regardless of current new feelings or not.
We had the meeting and went through all the details required for our trip. I had a feeling this trip would be a big change for my life- a change I was somehow looking forward to face.
Monday morning came around quickly enough. I enjoy going to school especially being able to walk with Alice. We luckily shared most classes together except languages I took Japanese while Alice decided to take Latin- she had always loved learning about new cultures and had always wanted to see the wonders the world hid from our eyes at first glance and learn all the stories the world from through all the years and discover the hidden treasures of long ago that could still tell a story of long ago. The only one bad thing about having almost all my classes with Alice is that it means I also have almost all of them with Bethany White.
In our school there used to be what you could call- model wannabe's or something like that but what I am sure about is that there are 3 of them and they had their eyes set on me, Edward and Emmett. Lauren, Jessica, and Bethany are their names. Lauren and Jessica decided to stop pursuing Edward and Emmett as they could see how strong a relationship they had with Bella and Rosalie. You could say they grew up and saw the world in a new way but not Bethany. She still seemed to have this idea that I was like some kind of possession of hers or something- the only reason I tolerated her was to be polite and I knew how Alice felt about people solving things with violence – she thought it barbaric and childish.
I walked 2 steps in the door, waved to Alice who went to find Bella and Rosalie- we agreed to all meet up in our first class and was almost I would say attacked by a blur of heavy make-up, miss-matching and oddly coloured hair extensions and short tight clothes that made me feel sick rather than what she thought it was doing to me. Bethany White. She does this almost every morning and each morning I dread it more than the last. I could see Alice not too far down the hall, she was talking with Bella and Rose. She had an almost amused expression on her face- like she was trying to hide it so she wouldn't burst out laughing randomly and bring the "wrath" of Bethany upon her this early in the morning I guess he took pity on me by keeping it restrained - but I could see the laughter dancing bright within her eyes. Bethany's "wrath" would involve her stomping like some 2 tonne elephant on a rampage or something over to Alice just to glare at her, while dragging me in tow. I made several apparently failed attempts to release myself from Bethany's almost vice-like grasp but yet to no avail. I usually try by all means to avoid talking to her as she seems to have what most people would call "selective hearing". Luckily the bell was on my side and decided to ring and save me from the wicked witch of god knows where.
"I'm sorry Bethany" I said not really looking at her- well to be honest trying to avoid it "but I really must be getting to my class, don't wanna be late"
Her only response as it ever seemed to be, is what she must think is some kind of flirtatious smile and giggle thing or something while batting her fake and extended eyelashes at me. I always had the greatest temptation to ask her if she had something in her eye but restrained myself. My mother had always told me to be polite to people even if they didn't deserve it – "a good example from one shall show the way for all" was what she had told me- especially to young women- not what I'd call her exactly but the morals remain all the same.
I almost sprinted down the hall after Alice, and when I finally reached her, she had begun to walk to class, I could almost see the laughter erupting within her- trying to escape from behind her hand which was covering her mouth which I'm guessing was her way of trying to restrain them.
"And what" I asked her "are you laughing at may I ask giggles?"
She just looked up at me and let out a small laugh and headed into the classroom of our first class. A new day of knowledge to gain, something new to learn and discover and another day I got to spend with Alice.
