Ok so here it is. The full chapter. Thanks to Anime Freak for her well wishes- it's good to know that someone cares.
Anyway, so here it is. Thanks for all the review, alerts and favourites.
Chapter 4
De ja vu," I muttered sourly under my breath.
Tanya grinned at me. "I know, right? This is going to be so totally awesome!"
I rolled my eyes. Only Tanya would think that returning to high school was awesome. This was supposedly a part of her plan. She had made me quit as a freelancer and erased the memories of whoever I had worked with. That was her gift, by the way.
Tanya could change memories. It was pretty cool. Way better then my stupid shield. It wasn't like I was ever in danger that I needed a shield.
Anyway, so thanks to Tanya, she and I were returning to school. On the plus side, so were the Cullen's. But they were doing just that, returning. I would be the 'new girl'. Again.
"I don't want to be the new girl," I whined as we walked to the office.
"Bella," she spoke in that sweet tone that alerted me that she was going to say something rude next, "shut up and do as I say."
See? Told you she'd say something rude. Tanya opened the door and pushed me in. She smiled at the surprised secretary.
"Hi, I'm Tanya Denali and this is my sister, Bella. We're new here," she smiled brightly at the secretary.
I looked at her in shock. Was it just me or was Tanya started to act like Alice?
After the tedious process of collecting sheets of paper, Tanya and I were reunited with the Cullens.
"Let me see," Alice squealed, grabbing my timetable from my hands and almost tearing it in half.
Oh, well. I had already memorised it.
"English, Government, Biology, Gym, Trig and Spanish," Alice murmured. She checked Tanya's time-table and then said,"You have Bio with Edward, Gym with Rosalie and Jasper, English with me and Tanya, Government with Emmett but you're going to have to brace Spanish on your own."
Emmett scowled. "Why is she on her on for Spanish?"
"Exactly. Why?" Alice demanded, glaring at Tanya.
"Alice, it's fine," I assured her.
She frowned but didn't say anything. Reluctantly, she handed the time-table back to me just as the bell rang.
"Showtime," Tanya said, grinning.
"Let's get it over with," I muttered.
By the time lunch rolled around, I had already been asked out by most of the guys at school. One of them, Adam, was annoyingly persistant. He reminded me alot of Mike.
He cornered me at lunch.
"Bella," he purred in what he probably thought was a seductive voice.
"Adam," I replied in a clipped tone.
"You can sit with me at lunch."
Excuse me? Who was he, that I would want to sit with him?
"Are you asking or telling?"
"What?" he asked, confused.
"Never mind," I replied, walking past him.
"Tough first day," a velvetly voice, that I recognised as Edward's asked.
"That is the understatement of the year," I said, rolling my eyes.
He smiled a crooked smile that made my dead heart sit up and take notice.
"It's like Forks all over again," I continued with my rant. "I mean, why do I have to do this?"
He studied me. "Bella, the oldest you could pass for is 24 years old."
"Is that a compliment or an insult?" I asked.
"It's...a compliment. It means you...look young."
"Wow, every vampire's dream."
He laughed.
Oh wow. He had such a sexy laugh.
"Bella," Tanya cried from a table from the corner of the cafeteria.
I smiled and waved at her. Edward and I walked directly to her, without bothering to fetch lunch.
Several of the students had no lunch trays with them so we didn't stand out as we normally did.
"So? How was your first day?" she asked.
"Same as it was in Forks. Mundane, boring, tiring and a complete waste of time.
"Bella!" she admonished in a shocked tone, "Education is important. Knowledge is power."
I rolled my eyes but didn't say anything.
We were joined soon by the others. Alice looked me up and down.
"You need to go shopping."
"Thats what I told her," Tanya replied.
"I have already been shopping with you guys. Remember?"
"You wouldn't think so," Alice replied, making a face.
"Gee, thanks."
"I'm just saying, Bella. It wouldn't hurt if you put in a little effort."
I stared at Alice in shock. Tanya- who was now smiling smugly- had said the exact same thing to me.
"I swear, it's like the two of you guys are twins," I said.
Tanya laughed and Alice beamed brightly at me.
"There is nothing with the way that Bella dresses," Edward said, crushing a granola bar he had picked up from Alice's tray.
If I could have blushed, I would have. Instead I said, "Thank you."
"Eddie, you know nothing about fashion so butt out," Tanya replied.
"Don't call me Eddie."
"Eddie. Eddie. Eddie. Eddie. Eddie," she sang.
I shook my head at her immaturity and then caught sight of Alice. Her face was blank, expressionless, like she was miles away.
"Alice," I reached out to touch her but Edward grabbed my hand.
The familiar electric current coursed through me.
"She's having a vision," Edward said.
"Can you see it?" Tanya asked.
He shook his head. "No. That's a first."
Suddenly Alice was back, smiling widely at us. "Sorry."
"What happened?" I asked, concerned.
She waved her hand dismissively. "Nothing much. Just a few nomads in the area."
"Why couldn't I see it?" Edward asked.
Alice giggled. "That would have been the second vision."
"There was two?" Rosalie asked.
"What was that about?" Edward asked.
"I'm not telling," Alice replied. "It doesn't concern you. It's about Bella."
"What about me?"
"I'll tell you later," she promised. "Oh my. Look at the time. I have to go. Bye."
And with that, she grabbed Jasper's hand and pulled him away with her.
We were still talking when I felt my cellphone buzz. I slipped it out of my pocket.
Bella and Edward sitting in a tree. H-U-N-T-I-N-G.
I KNOW THAT YOU LIKE HIM.
LOVE ALICE
I stared at my cell in shock.
"What's wrong?" Edward asked.
I forced out a smile and pocketed my cell. "Nothing."
Review! And give me some ideas!
I'm actually thinking that since(coz of my stupid course) I will be unable to continue writing- sucky, I know- that maybe I should write the entire story now when I can, and during my holidays and maybe update like once a month?
But this means that some of my stories will be on a hiatus.
Just an advance warning if that does happen, so you'll know what's up
