Telling Alice
Life went on since that wonderful day when Edward and I were finally friends. Life was so much better than before.
"Hey." Tariq greeted me as I took my seat by him.
I smiled as he kissed me swiftly on the cheek. Rosalie and Emmett were already sitting there, talking in hushed tones.
"BELLA!" someone called from behind me. I turn around to see Alice waving furiously for me to come over.
I grin. " Later guys." I murmur, as I turn to follow Alice. I walk quickly, apparently not quick enough for I am greeted by an exasperated smile from Alice.
"Come on" she mutters impatiently.
I sigh, and walk after Alice, out the door and into the picnic tables on the school lawn.
"What Alice." Now I was exasperated. What did she really want to know?
"Bella. You have to tell me everything. Especially about Tariq."
I sigh again. A sigh obviously of relief. So this is what she wants to know.
"Oh Alice. I don't know where to begin"
She stomps, "Just start from the beginning."
"Okay. Well Laurent made me into this, we met in the meadow. He gloated a bit and then it happened. Lucky for me, Jacob and his friends destroyed him." I tried to get the image out of my head.
Alice looked befuddled, "Wait. How did Jacob and his friends…You know.."
"Oh!," I sigh, "He's a werewolf." I look around and see that no one is listening in to our conversation. Even if they did it wouldn't matter. It would sound crazy.
Shock quickly fleeted across Alice's face but she quickly composed it.
"Soon after I turned," I continued, " I wandered around Alaska. But I didn't see that Denali coven you told me about. Later on, I was in England. That is where I met Kartik and Gemma. Soon afterwards, I met Tariq." I was interrupted by the sound of the bell.
Alice gave me a meaningful look. I was not let of the hook.
As I leave for my next class, I notice Tariq glaring at Edward.
'Oh great.' I thought to myself.
