The only person I own is Tess. Hope you enjoy the rest of the story that is to come, and hopefully you'll stay with me for the rest of way.
Chapter 3: The day my sister fell for Cullen!
Yeah! I thought as I rolled out of bed landing on my feet as I neared the floor.
The alarm clock near by bed reads 5:30 AM in big orange neon letters. I couldn't sleep any longer. My dreams were hunting me already, they were my visions and I couldn't comprehend shit it was trying to tell me.
I could hear the pitter-patter of the rain outside my window, it would be a good day. I loved the rain; dad said I had been born on a rainy day at midnight.
There was a silence the filled house and I would make the most of it by hitting the showers before dad or Bells would wake up.
Getting my towel from the chair and heading over to the bathroom, I flickered on the light and shut the door as I entered.
Goosebumps rose as I began to remove my sweat pants and long sleeve shirt. I let my hair down planning to wash it and dry it naturally.
A warm shower is what I needed to get file through my visions. I stepped into the shower and grabbed the herbal essences shampoo applying it into my curls.
It my hair smell and look nice, taming my wild curls. I hum a song I remembering hearing on the radio.. what was it called, Someone like You by Adele. It helps to clear my mind. I apply the conditioner, tying it into a knot as I wait to set in. As I wait I contemplate if I do have anyone blood related still alive out there. If when I was left for an orphan, did they care? Aren't people of magic supposed to be close? Sisters or brothers? Family tied by our past? Bull shit!
All I ever needed was here close to me.
I let my hair down washing off the conditioner and begin to soap up my skin, washing it off leaving my skin smelling like wild flowers.
I peaked out from behind the shower curtains to make sure no one was up yet, it would be the perfect time to keep practicing my magic. I lifted my hand up and twisted it turning the knob of the shower faucet off.
Joy radiated through me, with my magic I made the towel wrap around me as I stepped out of the shower and began to comb my hair and squeezed the excess water out of it.
My magic had only manifested last year. It had happened when I had gotten so frustrated over hearing Jake gush over Bella that fire had formed on my palms and the leaves around me were scorched.
When I plugged in my iPod and turned up the speaker. Shakira's voice soon filled the room in an up beat song brightening my mood up.
Reaching my closet as I moved my hips to beat I picked out my light blue ripped jeans and my north face rain jacket I had brought with my money from work and my favorite long sleeve t-shirt. It was a dark forest green fitting me perfectly.
My converses were downstairs by door, so those would come on later.
I put on everything taking my portable speakers and iPod downstairs officially waking up the whole house. I could hear dad grumbling as he woke up and Bella's floor boards as she walked around her room.
It was six already and school started at seven thirty. The school board hated us and wanted to kill their students, in my opinion.
I turned on the lights to the kitchen, setting down the speaker next to the toaster. Walking over to the bread I popped in two pieces and set the coffee maker on. Reaching for the top cabinet opening it as I brought three cups down and three plates.
"Hey baby" I heard y dad murmur as he walked up to m and helped me finish preparing breakfast placing a kiss on my cheek.
"Morning old man" I joked as I returned the kiss.
"Who you calling an old man" he looked at me sternly, his mustache twitching as a smile ghosted his face.
We banter back and forth for a few minutes and sit down with some toast for breakfast.
I bring the rim of the cup and look over it as my sister enters the kitchen grabbing her plate of toast and cup of coffee smiling at Charlie and me as she sits down.
I stare out the window holding the cup of coffee in my hands as the warmth radiates out of it leaking unto my hands. My hands have always been unnaturally warm due to the fact that my easiest element to use is fire. It doesn't come from anger, but my magical core.
I feel someone tap my shoulder and know my sister is signaling me that its time to go. I drop my dishes in the sink and leave to wash them afterschool. I walk over to my dad wrap my arms around his shoulders and give him a kiss goodbye.
"Bye girls" he calls out as Bella and I grab our jackets and backpacks from the front hallway.
"Yeah dad" Bella calls back as she grabs the trucks keys opening the door open for both of us.
"No worries pops, I'll take care of Bells", I yell over my shoulder walking out of the house and next to the truck.
I spend the car ride in silent only listening to the radio, no small talk is made and that is fine.
As we reached the parking lot I could feel the curiosity seeping out of people to know who the girl driving the "junk" of a car was.
"Nice car" some jock snidely commented as we climbed out the truck.
"Thanks" I heard my sister murmur to him. No backbone, I told myself as I made my way over to them.
I grabbed my sister by her arm telling her we had to get her schedule and that I had to still show her around.
I sent an icy glare at the stupid jock, they knew who I was, they knew better then to mess with anyone or me I cared about.
We made our way over to the main office; the secretary was a friendly lady who loved me.
The office wasn't by any means small, but probably couldn't compare to what her sister had been used to. Leaning over the counter I smiled sunnily at Miss Baker.
"Morning senorita Baker" I said reaching over to grab two lollipops from her candy basket, knowing well that she wouldn't mind.
"Could I please get my sister's schedule, the name will be Bella swan."
"Sure Tess" she said as she shuffled from her desk to the next desk taking the yellow folder labeled ISABELLA MARIE SWAN in big bold black letters.
I hand the schedule to my sister minutes later telling her where the classes are as quick as I can knowing that I'll be late to class.
"So you good" I ask looking at her as I begin to walk backwards in front of her.
"Yeah" she replies, bitting her lip.
"You'll be fine" trying to sooth her nerves I make a joke "Just like a shiny new toy"
She chuckles at my joke, so mission accomplished!
I smile at her fixing the straps of my backpacks waving at her one last time as I round the corner of the hallway. I sprint the rest of the way to art class. I'm not afraid of been late, but I hate disappointing the teacher. Ms. Gray is the coolest in my book, she let's us listen to music to let "our brains flow with imagination" and doesn't mind if you have homework to finish, but have to finish her work afterschool.
Science was next, I made my way over to the table waiting for our teacher to come in and saw my friend Andrika slip in as the bell rang the teacher coming in a few minutes after her.
"Where were you this morning" I heard Andrika ask, as she retrieved her books from her bag for the class.
"Showing my sister around" I responded given her a pencil when she couldn't find one.
"We still on to eat in the cafeteria together right, not in the library?" I asked her, I hated eating in the cafeteria all the annoying hormonal teens.
"Yeah, we said we would give been social in this rat hole a try" she responded.
All the rest of my classes I had with her so they were easily spent talking and taking down notes.
After math class we made our way over to cafeteria joking around and laughing about a story I was telling her of the boys.
"So Quil wanted to talk to this girl right and he was like to me 'aren't you a girl, of course I responded must have been buying the wrong underwear my whole life" her face was red.
"I thought Embry and Jake were gonna burst a lung" I chuckled as we made our way over a table in the corner.
"Must be nice having friends who are boys…." her answer trailed off as the cafeteria doors opened and in walked the Cullen's.
I know what they are, vampires. The "good kind" since they don't drink from humans just animals. Their looks were alluring to humans, but not anyone from the supernatural. To witches it set off alarms in their heads, shape shifters couldn't stand their smell and that also goes for werewolves.
They were model looking, but I didn't see anything special about them.
My hands tingled wanted to set on fire and scorch them, but I restrained myself knowing they weren't any danger, yet.
All the girls in the school were enamored with the Edward, Emmett and Jasper, but hated by some percent of the male population that wasn't gay.
Alice and Rosalie were perceived as beautiful, but were hated by the female population that wasn't attracted to them.
"Tess looks like your sister has her eyes set on the bronze Cullen" Andrika whispered to me fiercely waking me out of my thoughts.
I turned my head sharply and looked over at the moment their eyes connected and knew in that moment that my sister had just fallen for a Cullen.
