6. IGNORING THE CULLENS

Okay so it has been about a week and no sign of Edward Cullen, which is just weird because I mean I couldn't have done that to him in one day unless he was a vampire and I was his singer, but I already established that he was not a vampire, I mean I am pretty sure that Carlisle had red eyes and he is the sweetest vampire I have ever meet, so there is no way vampires can have gold eyes, its just not possible.

I got out of my truck wearing light blue jeans with a small teeth mark in them from where I had got bitten by Jane last year. Yes I still kept the jeans they looked pretty cool I think the venom burned through the jeans so it's really like so one bit them. Anyway I was wearing a red sweater and my leather jacket of course I wear it everywhere, except when I fight I have a very strict rule that no one hurts my jacket, yes I know weird. When I first told them that they laughed at me on of them bit the inside of it so I killed him literally I killed him, he is dead now and that is surprising because I hate killing I never kill just decapitate and then run away. Anyway after that no one touched my jacket, why people don't listen to me or take me seriously I have no idea. Like I have time to make up stupid lies pft yeah right, between the Volturi hunting me down and my pain in the ass visions I barely have time to breath let alone make up stories of my life and lie to people.

The whole staring thing died down after about three days, except for the Cullen's who always stare at me, like they are trying to figure out all my secrets. I nod to them every morning but other than that I ignore them it works out pretty well except for the part about me ignoring them I hate it but oh well better then them being dead. They would thank me for doing this…well you know if they knew why I was doing this.

I looked over to the Cullen's like I do every morning prepared to give them a nod, but when I looked at them I saw five people instead of four. Crap Edwards back. Yes I know what you're thinking you stand up against the whole damn Volturi guard but when some human doesn't like you, you freak out. I looked away quickly without nodding and from the corner of my eye I saw Emmett punch Edward in to arm hard too. I wonder why? But it was funny and also painful to watch I had to urge to go over their and hit Emmett for hitting Edward. Very weird.

"Bella wait up." Alice called. I stopped and turned around.

"Hello Alice." I said both politely and vaguely.

"Hey I was wondering if you would want to go shopping after school today." She asked hopeful.

I really didn't want to turn her down so I said "I don't think some of your family members will be okay with that." I looked at Edward slightly who was glaring at me; I shrugged expecting it and said "See ya." Then walked away from a sad Alice.

"No wait." She said and grabbed my wrist she was making this harder on me. I couldn't keep saying no to her forever they were breaking down my little protective shell.

"Alice look I'm sorry really I am but I just can't put…Umm…I can't go with you bye." I said and walked away fast. Crap I messed up I almost said danger why do I always want to spill my guts around them.

I walked into class only to be meet by my golden retriever friend. Mike Newton ugh he really was annoying.

"Hey Bella." He said when I sat down I fake smiled. He continued talking "Hey I was just wondering if…umm… if y-you would go to the dance with me." He stuttered through the whole thing.

I was shocked what was he crazy, see this is what I get for being nice I get asked out. "Umm…sorry Mike I…Uh…am going to be out of town then sorry." I said and plugged in my ear phones so he couldn't ask me out again. I turned up one of my favorite songs that I wrote, it was the very essence of my mom, I wrote it for her and all the happy times I had with her, her attitude and her very essence was in this song.

Dang how in the world am I suppose to ignore Edward Cullen, I mean he is gorgeous probably the most perfect guy in the world. Well maybe if he ignores me it wont be so hard I mean how hard can it be, he's just a normal gorgeously handsome man that just so happens to hate you. Maybe it will be easier because he hates you.

And how come I have this bad feeling I so better not get a vision today I already had one this morning and let me tell you it sucked. I hate visions, why couldn't I be like Carlisle's daughter and have pain free visions. I would be happy with just seeing the weather actually I would be more than happy I would be ecstatic. Why do I have to be a freak I mean I don't want to ignore the Cullen's okay maybe Edward but I feel like I am at home with them like I am normal which for me to find that is both very weird and wonderful.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by students getting up and leaving I didn't bother to take out my head phones it's just down the hall.

I walked out of class and who do I see Alice Cullen. I smiled and nodded then walked toward my next class. She grabbed my wrist and I took out one head phone and said "Yes Alice."

"Who is playing this?" She held up my head phone in awe.

"I am." I said simply, she was stunned into silence I waved my hand in front of her face and said "Hello Alice I kind of have to get to class." Then I pointed to her hand.

"Oh…umm…sorry did you say you wrote this." She said still in awe.

"Yes Alice, I can play the piano no big deal." I said and walked toward my class. Alice was left looking after me in awe, god get a grip its just music. Then I realized what song was playing. Oh crap! I turned around and walked fast back to Alice who was standing in the same spot stunned into complete frozen silence and awe.

"Alice umm…I didn't know what song was playing when you asked me." I said looking at her a little embarrassed.

"So you didn't play this." She said confused.

"No…well yes but you see it's complicated." I said what was I suppose to say I heard it in a vision and I had to play it, yeah like that would go over well.

"What do you mean?" She said confused still and now also a little irritated. I had a feeling Alice was not confused a lot if ever.

I sighed and thought for a while about how to proceed "Well I had a…umm… a dream and in my dream someone was playing this song and it was beautiful the most amazing sound I ever heard in my life so I recorded it." I said it was true most of it anyway, I heard it in a vision and it was dark everywhere and people were scared and then the music started floating through the air, I couldn't see anything it was the weirdest vision I ever had. Because everyone calmed down completely to the sound not usually how my visions go. They are normally all doom and gloom and death and fear.

"You heard this in a dream." She asked shocked I looked around and the hallways were empty.

"So much for ignoring the Cullen's." I said and then pulled Alice outside so I could explain better.

"You were ignoring us." She said hurt.

"Well…umm…yeah but it's for your own good you should really stay away from me." I warned seriously.

She laughed and said "I think we can handle ourselves."

"Okay whatever now why did you ask me about the song." I said confused.

"Okay first let me ask how long it took you to replay it." She asked with a smirk on her face.

"Two tries I messed up on the second chorus, but then when I listened to it again…" Ops wasn't suppose to say that. Again with the whole can't-have-a-conversation-with-a-Cullen-without-spilling-all-my-secrets thing. Wonderful.

"Wait you said it was in a dream." She said skeptically.

I sighed they catch on to everything "It was I have an…uh… very graphic memory." I said and than mentally slapped myself for saying that. Graphic memory nice Bella.

"Okay, well would you like to know who wrote that?" She asked bounving with excitement now.

"You know who wrote it but I spent my whole life listening to this song and have never heard and equal I even searched the internet, all the classic's and found nothing." I said in awe.

"That's because my brother wrote it." She said simply but watching my face intently.

Oh god don't let it be Edward. "Emmett." I said then closed my eyes because I knew she was going to say Edward.

"No silly Edward." She laughed and then added "Emmett can't play the piano."

"I was hoping for Emmett and how do you know he probably could he just doesn't show you guys." I said still hoping for Emmett. My hope was in vain.

"No Edward is the only one who can play the piano." She said grinning and giggling.

I sat down and said "I was really hoping for Emmett, you should have lied." I hung my head.

"What's wrong I thought you would be happy." She said confused.

"You know when your five years old and you go downstairs to wait for Santa Claus only to find out it's your parents." I said sadly.

"Yes." She said not getting it.

"Well I just found out my parents are Santa Claus." I said lightly.

She laughed and I said not mad just a little whinny "This isn't funny Alice I have spent my whole life dreaming about the person who wrote this song and then I find out its Edward Cullen, the guy who looks at me like I am the Black Plague."

She laughed harder and fell on the floor laughing "Fine go ahead laugh at the girl whose dreams have just been crushed." I said sulkily.

"Oh Bella, don't be ridiculous Edward doesn't hate you." She said sitting cross legged on the grass not caring that it was probably freezing.

"Oh yeah because people glare at you when they love you come one Alice I'm not five I think I can handle it if a guy doesn't like me." I scoffed.

"Bella he doesn't hate you and he owes me money now." She said grinning.

"What are you talking about?" I said confused now.

"Nothing now are you going to sit with us at lunch." She said it as a statement not a question.

"Just because I like your brothers song doesn't mean I am going to endure my own personal hell Alice." I said simply.

"We aren't that bad." She said hurt again.

"No I didn't mean it like that I like your family I do it's just some of your family don't like me and I don't really feel like being glared at all through lunch." I said guilty that I made her hurt.

"Edward isn't going to glare at you." She said simply as if she already knew.

"Alice your killing me here." I said whinny, how was I suppose to keep them safe if I sit with them at lunch and I honestly didn't want to see Edwards cold black eyes glaring at me.

"Or do you just not like us." She said sadly frowning again.

I sighed, my shell just crumbled "It's because I like you that I don't want to sit with you." I said quietly to myself then added for her to hear "Fine."

"Great let's go!" She said and I looked at her confused "Bella we have been out here the whole class period, time flies when you're having fun right."

I looked at the lunch room and sighed Edward wasn't looking at me but I knew he would go all rigid when I sat down, then I saw only two seats left one next to Edward and one next to Jasper. "So you're sitting next to Edward." I said when we walked in.

"Silly Bella." Was all she said but I knew that meant I was sitting next to Edward. Great going Bella.

"Bella!" Emmett called like a little kid who just saw they're hero. Then he ran up and gave me a bone crushing hug which would have killed a normal human.

I laughed and said "Emmett you see me everyday, I'm not so special."

"Of coarse you are." He said like I was talking crazy.

He sat me down in the seat next to Edward and I glared at Alice who was grinning. I looked at Edward who was of course rigid. No surprise there.

"So Bella are you going to tell us what you were talking about all during third period." Jasper asked and then coughed trying to hide a laugh.

"Edward." I said simply.

"Really." He said smiling but also shocked like he knew but wasn't expecting my to say it admit it.

"Yes Jasper really, am I not aloud to talk about Edward." I said and then looked over to see Edward looking over at me with golden eyes intense eyes. Okay I remember them black before. Vampire is looking more and more like a possibility everyday.

"Bella is going shopping after school today right Isabella." Alice said.

I flinched at my full name and pain flittered across my face "Are you okay." Jasper and Edward said at the same time.

"I'm fine geez." I said.

"What did I miss?" Emmett said looking up from his building made of French fries. He is such a child.

"Oh Bella I'm sorry I forgot." Alice said her voice burning with regret.

"Forgot what I am always left out of the group." Emmett whined.

I smiled at him and said "It's just saying my full name always makes me flinch."

"Why?" He asked and Jasper smacked him across the head. "What was that for!" He whined again and rubbed the back of his head.

I laughed and said "It's okay, every time someone says my full name it sends a painful shock almost, through me so flinching is an involuntary reaction."

"Oh I'm sorry Bella." Emmett said and really looked sorry.

"No it's fine I have learnt to deal with it." I said simply.

"Bella…" A voice I haven't heard yet said, wow it was musical almost like a song and velvety smooth better than any melody I have ever heard was it possible for someone to have that voice.

I looked over to see Edward staring at me with gold smothering eyes I lost my train of thought and all I could do was look in his eyes like a ogling teenage girl, his eyes seemed to go on forever.

"So Bella shopping after school." Alice said breaking the spell type thing.

"Uh…Err…What?" I said and blushed, they all laughed and then I heard something that made me freeze. I heard a growl. My eyes went wide and I gasped I was shocked they were vampires but what about the eyes, but you can't deny the growl. Oh this is so confusing.

They all froze when I did and I was still too shocked to do anything. "Bella." Alice said scared.

I looked at her and recomposed myself "Yes." I said calmly. Okay so they were vampires so what it's not like I haven't meet vampires before. Okay so I have never meet vampires like these before but still they cant be that different.

"You looked like you just saw a ghost." She said unsure but a little more relaxed.

"Pretty close." I mumbled and then remembered they could hear me, so they could hear the whole conversation about the music wow that's embarrassing and I am sitting next to the guy I just call my idol. "Umm…Well…Err…" I didn't know what to say my face was probably as red as a tomato by now which is weird because I have never gotten embarrassed before I meet them.

"Hey Bella." Mike called, ugh great now I had to deal with him too.

I turned around and said annoyed "Yes Mike."

"I was wondering if I could talk to you." He said nervously.

"So talk." I said I was running out of patience for this boy, I heard Emmett and Jasper cough trying to hide a laugh.

"Umm…alone." He said nervously. Oh god would this boy ever get the hint.

"Sure why not." I said and then mumbled "Like I need to be asked out again." I heard Emmett burst out laughing and then Jasper followed him. Sure vampires laugh at the girl who gets asked out for being nice the first time in her life. Well never again will I be nice to a human, I don't like the repercussions.

"Bella I was wondering if you would…umm…like to go out Friday night." He said a little braver.

"No thanks Mike." I said politely, controlling my annoyance and anger.

"Is it because you like Cullen." He said defensively.

I breathed okay this boy was really getting on my nerves "No it is not because of Edward." I elaborated on Edwards's name.

"Sure." He mumbled and walked away.

"God that boy is annoying." I mumbled to myself then went back to the Cullen table and sat down next to Edward who looked confused. "What?" I said politely all my anger and annoyance seemed irrelevant while looking at Edward.

"Nothing…I…Uh…just." Edward looked down, did I really get a vampire to stutter. Yeah Edward has got to be the worst vampire alive.

"Edward is just confused as to why you turned down the lovely Mike Newton." Jasper said

I scoffed at Jasper choose words but said simply "I didn't like him."
