Chapter 7 Sparkle no more
"Hey Alice" I greeted my pixie friend.
"Diamond! We're going shopping today, you want to come?" She asked excitedly.
"As much as I love you, no thanks. And besides, we have school today so we can't." I said while rummaging through my closet for an outfit for the day.
"Its sunny today D. you guys can't go to school." she said smugly. I rolled my eyes at her even though she can't see it.
"Were you living under a rock for the past 200 years? Of course vampires can go publicly when the sun's out. It's like the new trend!" I said appalled.
"Yeah right. New trend? Unless you wanted a dead look styled by the volturi, that'll be new." She snorted.
"You'll see Alice Cullen, you'll see."
"Whatever. I'll see you later, good luck with whatever trend you're starting." We both hanged up the phone and I quickly grabbed my outfit to change. I'm wearing a black lacy sleeveless top, a cute red-violet and black leggings with cartoon designs on it, some black ankle boots, a pink fuchsia hat, some round shades and some stud earrings and cuff bracelet. I grabbed my black and white stripped bag and walked downstairs with my family.
I passed Jazz's car, Ruby's red shiny BMW, Emerald's lime green Lamborghini Gallardo, and Crystal's super pink bugatti veyron and walked all the way to my silver jaguar. I grinned at my curious siblings. "I'll pick up the rest of the cullens." At that, they nodded excitedly as I revved my engine and pulled out of the garage towards our Vampire neighbors.
When I got there, Rosalie and Alice were the first ones to come out of their house. I waved at them as I got out of my car. They gasped when they saw that I didn't sparkle under the sun.
"ohmygod!" they both shrieked with eyes wide and hands on their opened mouths.
"Told you." I said smugly.
"How the heck?" Rosalie asked while slowly walking to me and touching my exposed arms.
"How?" she whispered, awed. I smiled at her genuinely and pulled out a lotion from my bag.
"this." I showed them the bottle like a game show host presenting a prize.
"huh?" their confused expressions made me laughed out loud and soon the whole Cullen family was outside looking at me with awed, confused and curious looks.
"Damn! Diamond lost her sparkle!" Emmett shrieked.
"Of course not." I scoffed. "Haven't you guys heard of this lotion before?" I asked holding the bottle up. When no one answered I continued.
"I guess not. It's a Sparkle away lotion developed by our vampSoc's research lab." I explained. "Alice." I motioned for her to come to my side and she grinned at me excitedly.
I opened the bottle cap and squeezed out a skin colored cream. I rubbed it on my palm and rubbed them on Alice's exposed arms. After 10 seconds, her once sparkling skin was plain just like humans.
"It's basically vamp make up. Some are actually thinking of making vamp cosmetics." I murmured as the Cullens came at Alice to examine her arms and to compare it to her sparkling face.
"Amazing" I heard Carlisle murmured in awe.
"I want to try!" Rosalie squealed excitedly. I gave the bottle and she rubbed the lotion all over her exposed skin.
"Me too!" Emmett grabbed the lotion from Rosalie and put a large amount of lotion on his palm then rubbed it on his face and arms. "Hey I want to try too!" jasper protested and grabbed the bottle away from Emmett.
When he squeezed the bottle nothing came out. He tried several times, tapping the mouth of the bottle forcefully onto his palm. His face was annoyed and he looked at Emmett irritably. "You idiot! There's no lotion left!" jasper threw the empty tube at Emmett's grinning face.
"Ow. My bad." Emmett grinned sheepishly at an angry looking jasper and an annoyed Edward.
"Emmett!" Esme scolded.
Emmett cringed from the motherly tone Esme had implied and looked at me apologetically. "Sorry D" I smiled at him politely. "It's okay, though I'm afraid Edward and Jasper can't go to school. I didn't bring an extra bottle. I didn't know I'll get this kind of reaction from you guys." I giggled as the Cullens grinned sheepishly.
"Well, we better get going or we'll be late for school." Alice reminded as Rosalie, Emmett climbed on Emmett's jeep while Alice and I did the same to my car. I waved at Esme and Carlisle then looked apologetically at jasper and Edward.
On our way to school, Alice kept on asking a whole lot of questions making me almost dizzy.
"So diamond, who long does this stuff last?" Rosalie asked.
I shrugged. "Usually, depends on what kind of lotion you apply. I brought the 8 hour lotion."
"Where d'you get this stuff?" asked Emmett.
"Oh, at vampSoc." I said simply.
"Huh?" her curious eyes snapped at me. I chuckled at her then shook my head.
"You'll see." I muttered.
When we got to the school, we quickly made our way to my siblings. They greeted and hugged each other.
"Man! This is sooo awesome! We are totally rockin' this new look." Emmett boomed while posing like a body builder would. We laughed at his expense and headed our way to our lockers. I grabbed a few things then walked out of the school premises with my siblings following me and the three Cullens looking confused.
"Uh, guys. Aren't we supposed to be going in class?" asked Alice. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Pfftt! Are you telling me that in a sunny day like this that you're going to spend your time indoors listening to crap that you already now?" Crystal raised her brow at the Cullens while the rest of us just grinned maniacally at them.
"ookaay.. So what are we going to do?" asked Rosalie.
"Pack your bags, bitches. We're going to Arizona!" Squealed my eccentric sister.
"Then what's the point of showing up at school?" Asked Emmett irritably.
"Well, I just wanted to see you're shocked faces." I grinned. "Something tells me that nothing surprises you Cullens but that will change soon" they all looked at me wide eyed as they made their way to their car.
When we got home, we quickly packed our bags and dressed on something more of our typical family colors. Black and red of course making us fit in on all vampire clichés.
I put on a black loose top with black ripped leggings, some slip on vans, a black beanie and some accessories and my bloodstone ring.
I grabbed my luggage and quickly went down to the garage to put them on my car's trunk. I shut the car trunk and was about to open my car door when my siblings came in. Crystal was carrying three huge luggages while Ruby was carrying two. I rolled my eyes at them when they put their stuff on their cars.
Ruby was wearing black V-neck top, black skinny jeans, red leather ankle boots some accessories and her bloodstone ring. She sashayed over to Emerald and kissed him lightly before going to her car and turning her engine on.
Em, on the other hand was wearing an all black outfit. Black scarf, black boots, black jeans and sweater. He also wore his bloodstone ring just like Ruby. Em came over to his car and turned it on while yelling profanities to Jazz to hurry up.
Crystal, looking at her reflection on her car, was wearing a waist high short with a ruffle black top, some black heels, big red shades and her bloodstone ring. I heard her mumbling to her self "you are so cute!". I rolled my eyes at her and turned on my car engine.
I spotted Jazz at the other side of the garage who was wearing a black checkered button down shirt, black leather jacket, jeans, red converse and his bloodstone ring. He too, turned on his car engine and one by one, we all swiftly got out of the garage.
When we got to the Cullen's house, all of them were set and waiting beside their cars. I noticed what they were wearing and smiled in satisfaction. They were all wearing their coven colors-Blue, gray and white—and their crest.
"Hey! Good thing you guys were dressed up like that. I was afraid that I might have to tell you to change." I said while walking over to Alice's side. She was bouncing up and down excitedly.
"Be-Diamond!" she squealed. I put on a stiff smile when I noticed that she almost called me Bella.
"Come on." Ruby said. "We better get going it's a long trip ahead of us." Carlisle and Esme nodded while the rest of the Cullens all whooped out of excitement.
"Where are we exactly going?" Carlisle's words seem demanding but his tone was kind and curious. We all smiled at him but Emerald was the one who answered.
"We are going to Vampire Society."
