Okay so give me a second to explain myself- a lot has happened since I last posted. Mostly I moved, but im also in a lot of AP classes this year and honestly I forgot all about this story, im so sorry! But I know right where it left off and im ready to pick it right back up. Im so sorry about how late this is. But, here it is:)
Chapter 6
Alice POV
I stormed out of the locker room in a rage when the final bell rang. Who was he to tell me what I am, or what I'm not? I can't explain how pissed off I am with people trying to pretend like they know who I am! Not to mention the pity, the endless pity for the new girl because she's "different" and she's "shy". I'm so ready to tell people to just fuck off. I'm so tired of people being so quick to judge too. I'm either a freak or I'm shy, and some how not talking to people makes me some sort of a stuck up bitch.
I walk in anger down the road towards my house. As I trip over a crack in the side walk I see that stupid Volvo zoom past me down the road. I want to pick up a rock and throw it as hard as I can at it. Anything reminding me of any of my peers right now is enough to send me off the edge. Anything that reminds me of anyone, of anything. I just want to forget everything for a while.
I walk up my door steps and throw my book bag on the floor. Theres a not on the fridge. "Be back tomorrow- too much to log in one day."
"sure that's where you are." I mumble to myself. My dad has a habit of starting on logging trips and ending black out drunk at the local pub. Whatever.
I walk up to my room and stand in the doorway of it, very still for a moment. Behind me to the right is a bathroom my dad and I share. I back up and walk into it. I stare at myself in the mirror cabinet for a few moments, my hands on either side of the sink, my fingers tapping on it quickly and quietly. "I just don't want to think for a little while" I say to myself. I open up the cabinet and grab the sleeping pills my dad has prescribed to him and, without thinking, take four.
Jasper POV.
We pulled into our driveway in an argument. Emmett and I persisted that we should have driven Alice home. Edward, Bella, and Rose all griped about how they didn't have time because they wanted an early start on their homework. "figures Edward would side with the women in any sort of argument" Emmett says in a playful manner as we walk through the door. "one might even say that he's-"
"No calling your siblings gay." Emmett is cut off by my foster dad Carlisle as he walks down the stairs to greet us. "now, how was school?" he asks smiling.
We all mumble a sort of simultaneous "good" and walk into the kitchen where my mom is probably cooking something delicious.
"Don't get me wrong, I think Alice seems really nice and I'd love to help her out but, I don't think we should smother her with kindness. I mean it's like, her second day." Edward said as we set our bags down on the table to do homework.
"who's Alice?" my foster mom Esme kindly asks. I was right, she is cooking.
"new girl at school." Bella answers her.
"Hot new girl at school." Emmett adds. Rose elbows him, but she's not threatened, their relationship is solid.
"hot enough to melt hell." I add. Which I thought was very true. Not only was she beautiful but it was a different kind of beauty. It was unique. I've never seen anyone like her before, in a very good way.
"why don't you guys invite her to the bonfire you're having Friday?" Esme asked us.
"I think that's a great idea." Edward contributed.
"but she doesn't know anyone, don't you think she'd be uncomfortable?" Bella asked.
"I'll make sure she's not" I said. Everyone looked at me. Even Esme stopped what she was doing and looked at me. "what?" I asked.
They all looked down and continued their work at once. I chuckled to myself and looked at my text books but my thoughts weren't on my school work. I was curious about Alice Brandon. And what she was like, and what made her happy and what made her tick. I just wanted to know things about her. And I don't necessarily know why.
