Sorry it took longer than a week to get out. My parents had me on cleaning duty all weekend, plus I had three projects due this week. Oh and happy Saint Patty's day everyone!

Chapter 4
B POV
The bell signaling the end of lunch snapped me out of my reverie. Ana, Josie, and I quickly made sure that our powers hadn't gotten out of control while we were meditating and wrecked something. Good, everything looked just like it should. We could not allow anyone to become suspicious or we would be pulled out.
Senora Smith was the last person to enter the room and passed out a survey for everyone to fill out. Other than that we didn't do anything for homeroom. When the bell rang for fifth period all of the kids in the class rushed out like a river when the flood gates are opened.
"What class do we have next Bella?" asked Ana while we were walking down the hallway
"US History with West. Come on, let's go to our lockers and ditch our stuff." I answered.
When we opened our lockers we were showered with folded up notes. Could the guys here not get a clue? We are not interested, especially not me. The only person I have ever wanted to be with was Edward. I still want to be with him, but I am worried how Aro will react. And once we complete our mission, will I have to go back to Volterra? I want to tell him . . . . and I will. I just need to come up with a plan. Jasper must have sensed my conflicting emotions while we were in the cafeteria; they were rolling off of me in waves for goodness' sake!
I shoved my crap in my locker and grabbed my history book and a spiral. Slamming my locker door shut I turned to Ana and Josie and asked if they were coming.
"We know it's hard Bella, being here at the same school as him, every second wishing you could be in his arms. Your eyes betray your emotions. You know we support you in whatever you choose." Said Ana wholeheartedly as we glided down the hall.
"I know you guys do and that is why we are more than best friends, we are sisters and will be forever. I just . . . I just don't know what to do." I said with sincerity.
"Don't worry, you got us so it will work out perfect!" said Josie. That girl certainly knows how to brighten up my day, especially when she accidentally slips into her Texas twang.
"Thanks guys, you always know how to cheer me up."
"No prob Bella." replied Ana as we entered the history class.
Moving my gaze from Ana to the actual class I froze. Right in front of my eyes was none other than Alice and Edward. This could not be happening! The love of my existence was right in front of me, and I was speechless. I couldn't even move. Ana and Josie had to drag me to our seats which just happened to in a group with Edward and Alice. Were they trying to kill me?
"Hi, I'm Alice Cullen. You already met Edward earlier. I hope he wasn't rude."
"Hi Alice, I'm Josie! No, Eddikins was a perfect gentleman to us and even offered to walk us to third period!"
"Yeah, he was very kind. And I'm Ana by the way. This is . . ."
"Isabella Volturi, but you can call me Bella." I said with confidence. They have to know who I am. If they don't then they are way dense. But if they do recognize me, what do I do?
You were right Edward. I think this is Bella, but do you think she remembers us? Thought Alice
Okay, so they aren't stupid, but they aren't 100 either. That gives me an idea . . . .
"Okay guys, we have three new students with us today all of the way from Italy." Announced a man I could only assume was the teacher. He looked to be about five ten or eleven with messy brown hair. From his looks he was probably 30 or close to it and a coach considering he was wearing a shirt that said Karloff Varsity soccer."How 'bout you girls introduce yourselves to the class." He added
"I'm Bella and not interested."
"I'm Ana and same here."
"Josie and ditto!"
"Okay. . . . so, where in Italy are you from?" asked Coach West
"Volterra, it is a beautiful city." Answered Josie
The teacher continued to ask us questions that we answered in one sentence or less. Finally he gave up and just had us sit back down.
"So, today you are to fill out a packet on your desk about chapter 18 in your books. You are to work with only the people sitting around you in the same group. We will go over the answers in class tomorrow." That meant that I would be working with Alice and Edward! What am I going to do!
"What are these notes on?" asked Josie
"The United States Civil War." Answered Edward
"How about each of us take a page of notes so that we can get done faster, and then once we all finish we give each other the answers." Suggested Ana. That was the most she had spoken to anyone outside of me or Josie today.
"Okay." We all said in unison.
Ana, you're a life saver! I have no idea what to say to them without sounding like a quack. I sent to Ana telepathically
You're welcome. I know how being this close to them must be affecting you. We are going to have to tell them our reason for being here and who you really are eventually. She answered
I know, but it is still hard. And what if they get mad at me or if when Edward and I get back together dad won't let me stay?
Knowing Aro, he will be ecstatic that you are finally happy again. And if he and Uncle Caius and Uncle Marcus try anything to keep you from him I am sure that Jane would love to butt in.
Hold on Josie wants to join in.
Finally! So, what ya talkin' about? Josie asked curiously
Josie, I am trying to help Bella with her Edward issue.
Oh, okay. So, did you come up with any ideas yet?
I have one, but it is rather cruel. And I'm, not sure you guys will like it.
What is it?
Yeah, it can't be that bad. So spill.
Okay . . . well, I was sorta planning to give Alice a fake vision of us kidnapping and sorta attacking Rosalie.
That's kinda . . . harsh. But I guess it would be effective in getting their attention. That is if you want six very angry vampires after your ass and ours.
I don't know. I kinda like it
You would! If we do what you thought up Bella, we would have to get Rosalie to agree to it.
Okay then what if we invite them over later saying that there is something of vital importance that needs to be discussed concerning them.
That works too.
And then there would be no reason for us to be attacked by livid vampires now would there. This idea also keeps us from pissing off Aro. He would most definitely hear about us threatening one of the Cullens.
It's settled then. We do option two.
Our conversation took up very little time and the whole time we were talking we were working. Turns out all of the questions had easy answers that I already knew. Thank god for having this stuff forced down my throat in school three times. We all finished quickly and then just started talking, much to my malcontent.
"So, exactly why are you three here anyway?" asked Alice in a nonchalant tone
"We were sent to deal with a certain problem that you may or may not be aware of." Answered Ana monotonously
"Oh. So how long are you going to be staying?"
"Until the problem is eliminated."
"Don't scare them Ana." Scolded Josie. "Just ignore her. How would you feel about coming over to our house this evening?"
"Really!" exclaimed Alice
"Of course Alice. There is something of vital importance that must be discussed between us and your family." I said
"When should we come over?" asked Edward in a serious tone
"Six would be best."
"Then six it is. We shall see you then. May I ask where-"
"We live next door in the last house on the street. I am sure it will be no trouble for you to find it." I replied right as the bell rang ending fifth period. Then I glided to the door followed by Ana and Josie and walked out leaving Edward and Alice speechless.
"I bet they are in our English class." Said Josie
"Knowing my luck they are." I answered and of course as soon as we got our English stuff and walked into the class Edward and Alice entered. Just great. Thankfully all we were doing was watching a movie, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen to be exact. I'd already seen it so Joie, Ana, and I spent the entire time talking in our minds. Not like anyone could notice.
By the time we made it to last period I wanted to shoot myself. I had forgotten how absolutely boring high school was. Then I saw Rosalie enter.
"I am so happy that you have last period Advanced Theatre!" I exclaimed
"Me too. And when you sent me that message during lunch I about jumped out of my seat!" she said
"Sorry about that, but it was the easiest way to talk to you."
"Don't worry Rose, you get used to it." Said Josie
"Yep,so welcome to the gang. So, who wants to skipb while we still have the chance?" suggested Ana
"I'm in." I replied
"Not like we're doing anything today. There's a sub. So okay." Said Rosalie
"Me too." Answered Josie
So walked out of class and headed straight for our cars. Now it was time to have some fun.
There it is, chapter four. Personally I loathe this chapter, but I had to get it out. The story will get beytter in the next chapters and ideas are always welcome
Love ya,
