I looked at my timetable hoping to get my mind of off the Cullen's. Why I though why something as simple as a timetable would help, I don't know because it didn't. It just made me remember school as a human. Damn them.
Bella! Stop it. Stop stop stop stop it! I scolded myself.
Okay, breath. English first with a Mrs Stewart. I wonder what books we will be studying this year. I wonder who will be in my class. Will any of the Cullen's? I suppose now I've been into contact I could try out Alice's power. But how? Damn usually they are so easy to get control of. Think!
ENGLISH. ENGLISH. ENGLISH.
Hah it worked, not what I wanted to know but sure. I guess I'll be studying Pride and Prejudice for the first semester…good I know that book of by heart, this class will be a breeze.
I arrive at the classroom and look around to say bye to Felix and Heidi but they're nowhere to be seen. I should stop getting so absorbed in my own thoughts. How self-obsessed am I?!
I look around for a spare table but there's only one spare seat. Typical, blooming perfect, its next to a vampire. However, its not one I know. OMG. She was the one in the car with Edward. Please no. Please God no. Don't let him be with her…I can feel my heart breaking into even smaller pieces already. Breath. I seriously need to get a grip on myself.
One foot in front of the other Bella. Do not trip. Do not embarrass yourself. Eventually I arrived at the table.
"Hey, my names Isabella Swan Volturi. Do you mind if I sit here?"
"Sure" she replies. "I'm Carla Cullen"
I decide to read her mind, it was quite difficult to read, murky even.
"Hang on… did she say Isabella Swan. As in BELLA SWAN? As in Edwards old love Bella? As in the one that hates the Cullen's Bella? Wait… she's a Volturi?"
I take the seat next to her enjoying her train of thought, the way she said it all in her mind was quite amusing. I then take a proper look at her. What on earth is she wearing? She cannot be a Cullen. She can not be with Edward? Is this who he left me for? Bella, you don't care, you should care. HE LEFT YOU.
"Isabella.."
"Please, call me Bella"
"Okay, Bella… From your smell and your last name I gather you're a vampire but why, no, how are you tanned?"
"Excuse me? Vampire? What? Are you trying to be funny?"
"You mean.. You're not a vampire?"
"Are you trying to call me a preternatural being, commonly believed to be a reanimated corpse, that is said to suck the blood of sleeping persons at night?" I couldn't help but laugh silently in my head at that remark. Long story short, I got bored one week and read the oxford dictionary. Dictionary plus vampire memory equals amazingly smart vampire. I should get of my high horse. Seriously, but it was worth it, the look on her face was hilarious.
"I'm confused? You're not a vampire? But, you smell like one."
"I am seriously offended. What the hell is a vampire meant to smell like?" This was too much fun.
"Well…you smell like flowers… freesias and there's a hint of strawberries"
"Oh, and is that what all vampires smell like?"
"No…well my…fiancé Edward smells of honey, lilac and sun"
Hold on. No. They're engaged! What? No they cant be.
Get a grip. He told you he didn't want you, did you really expect him to remain single… yes? Toughen up. What's left of my heart has surely just been destroyed completely. I am officially heartless… though many have called me that before…I can now be called it for the literal as well as metaphorical meaning. Why am I even thinking this? Thank heavens no one can read my mind. Edward. My Edward is with this…this...thing! He's not you're Edward. He's hers now…No!
"You have a fiancé?" I try to keep my tone steady and sceptical.
"Is that really that hard to believe?" She replied scathingly.
"Yes" I smile
She whispers under her breath, "Bitch".
"No need to be rude Carla" I say in my sweetest most innocent voice. "Do remember I am a member of the Volturi. A very important member of the Volturi, one many would advise you not to mess with" and with that I turned back to the class but I carried on listening to her thoughts for the rest of the hour. Eventually the bell rang and with one more escapade into her mind in which I received a "She needs to watch her back." I walked out of the classroom in search for my old Biology room.
As I approached the door I saw Felix heading my way. Yes. Hallelujah.
"Felix, have you got biology?"
"Yes"
"Cool, sit with me. I have much to tell you"
He chuckled and followed me into the class room where we found two empty seats second row from the back.
"What is it you wish to tell me young'un"
"Felix, I'm 80 years old. More if you count my human years. How is that young?"
"Its younger than me."
"You're right. You should be dead"
"Yes, but then you would have never known me and your life would be pointless"
"My life's already pointless Felix.. He's engaged"
Felix was about to reply when the door opened and speak of the devil, Edward strutted in, followed shortly by Alice. I am in hell.
I look around to see where they could sit. There was only two free spaces left, behind Felix and myself. I really should have just stayed in bed.
I took a peek into their thoughts.
"Alice and the others must be hallucinating. No way could she be Bella. She's tanned, blonde!" - Edward
"I can't believe she shocked me earlier. I cant believe she hates me. I cant believe Edwards so stupid." -Alice
The teacher then started to read names of off the register. Name after name he went. I was dreading him reaching the "s" names, but then realised he wouldn't read "Swan" but Volturi so I felt a bit better.
"Felix Volturi?" "Yes sir" He then added under his breath to me "Remind me why we came to high school Bella? Second lesson and I'm already bored"
"Isabella Volturi?" "Here sir" "Because Felix, I wanted to return to Forks, I rather regret that decision now"
The teacher, Mr Raven then stood up and said "I see we have four new students in this class this year, Edward and Alice Cullen and Felix and Isabella Volturi. Why don't each of you stand up and tell the class a bit about yourself?"
Why don't you go drop dead?
"Edward why don't you go first?"
"Okay, My names Edward Cullen, my family and I have recently moved here from Florida.." Yeah right, and I'm a bumblebee "…and I enjoy playing the piano, listening to music…" Breaking poor human hearts, becoming engaged to girls who dress like hookers "…and hiking"
"Very good. Alice?"
"Hiya everyone. My names Alice Cullen, like Edward said we have recently moved here from Florida. I enjoy shopping, shopping and more shopping"
"Okay, urm Felix?"
"Sup. I'm Felix, Isabella here is my sister. My fall name is Felix Swan Volturi." Stupid big brother say what? "We have lived in Italy for the last couple of years with our adopted family and I enjoy video games, travelling and spending time with my girlfriend" Aw cute. Not. I can't believe he said Swan.
"Italy eh? No wonder you're so tanned, Isabella?"
"Hi. My names Isabella Volturi.." Felix interrupted me "Sister, you're full name is Isabella Swan Volturi" I'm going to kill him, he is so going to pay.
"Fine. My name is Isabella Swan Volturi. I enjoy reading
and beating up my big brother Felix… Felix I swear if you don't stop laughing I'll go Jane on your bum" Ha that shut him up. I hate how I have to remind him of the pain I can cause, it would be so much simpler if he just didn't try to annoy me.
"Okay, well thank you for that. I don't get the last bit, probably a family joke, yes?"
"Yes, 'Joke.'"
The rest of the lesson was pretty uneventful except for the shocked thoughts of Edward which I eventually just blocked out. I can't believe he's engaged.
When the bell rung, I slapped Felix, grabbed my bag and made my way out of the classroom as quick as I could at human speed.
"Bella! Wait! Let me talk to you! Please you have to let me talk to you"
Boy did that make me angry.
"I have to listen to you? I have to listen to you? No Edward I don't. You can not waltz back into my life after 80 years of nothing and expect me to talk to you? I hate you. Or did you not get the memo?"
"I'm sorry"
"Sorry for what Edward? Breaking my heart? Taking everyone away from me? Charlie's death? Your apologies mean nothing to me. Now I'll warn you once. You and your life sucking family stay the hell away from me or else!" I screamed. Luckily the corridor was empty except for us four vampires.
"Or else what?"
"Or else this" and I went Jane on his ass, turned and walked away.
(A/N "Stupid big brother say what" Miley Cyrus says stuff like that a lot in Hannah Montana. Sorry! And sorry, this isn't actually that good)
