Alice's eyes widened and stood up. "Belle, can we talk before you do that?" I raised an eyebrow.

"No, I think I should—"She tugged my arm and pulled me out of the cafeteria. She pushed me into a wall. "What are you? High? You're going to ruin the plan!" Alice yelled at me in a quiet whisper.

"I have to tell them before they trust me too much. I can't keep lying to them!" I retorted. She looked at me and sighed. I turned away from her, facing the wall.

"Bella, school is not the time to tell a family of vampires that you've been lying to them. They might not be so welcoming," she whispered. I cringed into the wall. Memories flooded my head.

"I know, but I have to tell them sometime."

"When we get home."

"Okay ... " I sighed and walked back into the cafeteria when the others were sitting. They were all looking at me with a curious look.

"There was something you wanted to tell us . . .?" Jasper asked, but he already knew what it was.

"I wanted to tell you that . . . that, um . . . I hate when you guys drive fast," I lied with a glib voice. Emmett's eyes flew open.

"WHAT?" He practically screamed. "Are you crazy? Driving fast is the third best thing ever!"

"The third?" I asked in a calm voice. I didn't want to attract more attention that we already have. Half of the cafeteria was looking over at us with 'what-is-wrong-with-you?' looks.

"Duh, ' alone time' with Rosie is first. Second is working on cars with her."

"Isn't that still alone time?"

"No ..." I looked at everyone's faces. My face morphed into an embarrassed expression as I put two and two together.

"Emmett . . . I REALLY did not need to know that," Alice says and puts her head in her hands. Jasper puts his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sure Eddie already knew that," Emmett says and winks at Edward. Edward with no expression on his face gets up from the table and gets in line for food. What's his problem? Oh! Right! He can see their 'alone time' though their minds! Ew.

"I'm gunna go see if he's okay," I whispered. I sauntered across the lunchroom, even though I felt so embarrassed. I reached out when I got to him and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Are you okay? That had to be disgusting remembering their memories."

"I'm fine Belle." I wanted to tell him my real name was Bella, but what would he do? Luckily, he can't read my mind. I just nodded and he got his food and I got mine. We both walked back to the table with the others talking about how embarrassed I looked.

"Come on, Eddie! Have some fun for once in your life!" Emmett encouraged Edward. Edward just looked at him with a death glare.

"Do NOT call me 'Eddie'!" He growled at Emmett. Emmett put his hands in front of himself.

"Woah, calm down, you don't want to get your panties in a bunch," Emmett joked around. Edward just got up from his seat and slammed his lunch into a near by garbage can before leaving the cafeteria.

"What's his problem?" Rosalie asked. I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes.

I didn't want to seem as if I was obsessed with him so I asked, "Why doesn't anyone check up on him?" They all looked at each other and shrugged.

"He usually just works everything out by himself, I haven't seen him this upset before though . . .," Jasper answered for everyone.

"He might be upset because Emmett is thinking about his 'alone time' with Rosalie," Alice pointed out sarcastically. Poor Edward . . . he probably never gets to hear silence. I just sighed and looked at my food. I can't believe I use to eat something so disgusting. I wrinkled my nose and pushed my try away from me. I am not in the mood to pretend to eat.

The rest of the school day was just as boring. Edward did not come back to school after he left the cafeteria. I talked to Alice and she said that I should transform and only show up on during school hours and sometimes during the weekend. I agreed solemnly, I hated lying to Edward.

The last bell of the day rang and I jumped out of my seat and went to the nearest exit. I tried to keep it at a human pace since I haven't practiced in decades. The blood taunting me each step I took.

Alice was already out of hell and waiting inside her car. I got inside immediately and threw my backpack in the backseat. "You're really slow for a vampire," she tells me and starts driving off.

I rolled my eyes, "I was trying to keep it at a human pace." It's harder than it looks.

"At ninety year old human pace," she muttered under her breathe. She started speeding faster. We stood silent for a moment or so, before I was starting to get bothered by how fast she was speeding.

"Why do you like driving so fast? It's really unsettling," I asked her and slumped back into my seat.

"That's because I'm not weird, like you," she answered me. I frowned.

"Touchè," I sigh. She started to slow down the car and stopped near the forest. I looked at her, "I have to change?" She nodded. I got out of the car, she rolled down the window.

"See you later, Belle," she says and drives off into the road. Great, she left me for road kill. I sighed before running into the forest and transforming to 'Bella'.

"Bella!" Esme sighed when I got home. I rubbed against her legs and whimpered. I padded up to my room, making sure she was following. I pulled out my blanket, and hopped onto the bed. This might be the last time I cuddled with any of my family again.

"Bellsyboo, what's the matter?" Esme asked. She lay down with me. I curled closer to her side for a few moments, but then the door slammed open.

"Where is Belle? Where is Bella?" I heard my favorite voice ask anxiously. I gave a low yip and heard him speed up the stairs. He threw open the door and came to sit next to Esme and me. "Is there something wrong with her?" Edward asks Esme while petting me. Esme shrugged with a frown.

"I don't know . . .," she tells him. I climb on his lap and nuzzled in his chest. Who knew vampires could be so comfortable? "Maybe she needs sleep?" Esme suggested to Edward. Edward nodded and picked me up before walking into his room.

"I know you just missed me," he whispers in my ear. I smile. He sets me on his bed. "Go to sleep," he tells me. I just look at him with puppy eyes. "You don't want to sleep?"
