Chapter 4

Q&A time

I took a deep breath just like before diving into foreign waters. I quickly opened the passenger side door and jumped in, turning to face Alice. I realised I had never really looked at her features. Her black hair was neatly jelled, and her eyes had the same warm golden texture as Edward's. Just the thought of him made me have to shake my head to think straight again.

"Good morning, sunshine." Alice's voice was soft and airy. I turned to the tinted windows and looked to the heavy clouds. I laughed watching the small start of rain. "Oh, there will be plenty of that today." She laughed, watching the rain falling slightly faster.

"So, College," I began, turning to face her as she did the same. "Oh yes, we have plenty of time, so you can tell me all about you." "What you want to know?" I asked simply while she started the car. The engine purred into life while she stroked the steering wheel. I didn't know what she was expecting of me.

"So, do you like Edward?" she spoke quickly while she put the car in drive and hastily pulled off of the curb. I took a small intake of breath as she almost hit a car in front, but she pulled out perfectly straight without hurting anything. "Define the word like." I looked around the small space, placing my hands in my lap. "Well do you think you could be friends?" she took a hand off the wheel then turned the radio on. "Yeah, I guess so. He's okay, a little bit weird, but he seems alright." Alice giggled. I watched her more carefully as the music filled the car with bass. I wasn't a fan of that particular music, so I sat quiet.

"You seem like a nice person." Alice never really seemed to focus on her driving, but it was still perfect. "Thanks." This was when I noticed how fast we were actually going. Normally it would have taken longer to get to college, but with Alice we arrived in a matter of minutes.

"I have to say, that outfit is cute!" Her eyes quickly scanned my clothes. "Well it's just something I threw on." I wanted to slap myself, and I couldn't believe what I just said.

"Edward really is a nice guy, once you get to know him." I listened and nodded at the right intervals. Why was Alice so intent on Edward and I being friends?

"I was thinking… Seeing as I'm new here would you like to come shopping with me?" she kept her eyes on the road as she parked next to a silver Volvo. My eyes widened when I noticed it was Edward sitting in the front seat. His eyes snapped to Alice's sending her a dark glare which she returned with a graceful smile. "Ignore him." She whispered. Outside the rain was lighter. I got out of the car slowly. The glares Edward sent in Alice's direction gave me the impression that talking to me wasn't allowed.

Edward marched over to us, glancing between both of our faces. I stared deeper into his eyes. They seemed darker and hollow, but the warm gold made me smile. "Melissa. Are you going to show me the Library?" Alice's voice was sharp, as well as her glare towards her brother. She took a firm hold of my arms. It was just simple to let her pull me away.

We found a table at the back. I grabbed my note book out of my bag and turned to Alice. She giggled. My look of confusion seemed to make her smile widen. "I just wanted to ask you, do you like baseball?" her eyes were bright; like warm butterscotch. "I've never really played it." I replied slowly.

For the next hour Alice asked me questions; from my favourite animals to my worst memory. She even asked random questions about my family and hobbies. I was starting to like Alice a lot; she seemed friendly - still intimidating, but after an hour of talking I never really noticed it.

"So who else do you live with?" I asked. It was my turn to question to her. She broke into a grin. "Oh, my adopted father, Carlisle. He works in the hospital. Guys Hospital." Her voice was quiet that I had to strain to hear her.

I nodded with a polite grin so she continued.

She started talking about her boyfriend, Jasper and her mother, Esme. It all came out in a rush but I still listened and made note of all the little things that not many people would.

The rest of the free period went fast. Before I knew it, Alice was walking me to English. Damien saw Alice by my side. He went to step forward, but something Alice did, made him stop.

"Well, have fun." She grinned and danced away. I watched her go, then entered the room and sat at my normal place. I was taking out my pen when I heard shuffling behind me. I turned and jumped with a small scream.

"Edward, you scared me!"

He let out a small chuckle. "I'm sorry... You and Alice. Did you talk about anything… interesting?" his eyes mesmerised me as the flashed on his last word. "We did, in fact. At the weekend we are going shopping." I added placing my pen down on the desk.

"That's good." He placed a hand on the table. My eyes darted to Mr Rogers as he entered the room and started his lecture.

"Now I want you to get into pairs; work on act two, scene two and write down how this applies to what we discussed yesterday."

I turned to Edward finding the given copy of Romeo and Juliet in his hands and he had already found the right page. He wasn't paying attention and it looked like he didn't want to read the lines with me. I started to read Juliet's lines. I always read her lines with passion and grace.

"'Tis but thy name this my enemy; thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague?'" I froze. He was watching me read. "What?" I stared at him, feeling my face fluster pink. "Do you always read lines so… carefully?" I placed the book down on the table. Our eyes met for a split second.

"Okay Edward, Melissa. Would you mind reading aloud for us to hear?" My eyes snapped from Edward's face to Mr Rogers. "What!?" I turned to face Edward, his face blank - for once. The bell rang loudly at that moment. I watched Edward putting his things away in a blur. Again he rushed out of the classroom. At that moment, the sinking confusion feeling rose in my stomach.
