Hello there! So I'm kind of in shock because 49 people follow this story, 23 have favorited it and it has been viewed over 2,000 times! What on earth is going on? Thank you so much to all who have followed, favorited and viewed, it is astounding to me! Also thank you to lilchiblackhawks3282 for reviewing! And Tyonne Ephraim for your review which was lovely!
Okay, enough of my mushy-ness. Some of Elena's character is revealed in this and there is some Edward POV as well. I apologize for any mistakes, but I am trying to improve editing!
Disclaimer: I do not own twilight! And again anything remotely factual I will probably have incorrect. Sorry not sorry.
Entering the lunch hall was an interesting experience. Literally everyone in the room fell silent and turned to look at the Cullen's, with me awkwardly shuffling along beside them. "What the fuck?" I whispered to Alice, alarmed at the stares. She just giggled and danced towards an empty table in the center of the room. Okay, apparently the creepy stares don't affect this family, but right now I am seriously wishing the ground would open up and swallow me whole. Damn, I should have bought my candy with me. "Don't worry about it darling" murmured Jasper, semi-soothingly, though he looked amused at my distress. Thanks butt head. Edward looks at me laughing. What's his deal?
I try to hide my blush at the gossipy whispers I pick up on as we walk past tables, but Jasper just smirks. I guess they must be used to this by now. It seems kind of ridiculous though, like really people? Is this not a little overly dramatic? I get that they're beautiful and all but come on!
"Wednesday, don't you want to go get some food?" asks Alice, as we sit down at the table. Not really no. I tend to avoid eating lunch. It's a stupid meal. They all look at me expectantly. Okay, I guess I'll participate in the munching. Rosalie stands up and pulls me to the lunch line (which, btw is really horrifically long), me gaping at her in shock. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure two minutes ago you openly expressed your dislike for me. Now were getting lunch together. Like friends. Even though were not. And I'm fairly certain she still doesn't like me. Is that coke? They sell coke at this school? Yay! A wide grin spreads across my face. "What are you smiling about?" snaps Rosalie. Yep, she still doesn't like me. "They sell coke!" I sing excitedly. She looks at me for a moment, as if deciding whether or not to punch me, before rolling her eyes. Rude!
"So, Rosalie, were you sad to leave Texas?" I ask, trying to be polite and make conversation. She looks at me in slight shock. "Actually I was in Alaska before this, Jasper was the only one of us in Texas" She explains reluctantly, but I'm pretty sure she's lying. However, I'm not one to push people to answer personal questions, that's more Bella's thing. "Cool, do you like it here?" Again, she looks ever so slightly surprised at my question. "It's alright." She says eventually. Wow. Reply of the century. When we get to the lunch lady, I am incredibly excited to receive my beverage. "I'll have a coke please, and a water." I ask politely.
"A coke and what?" The lady shouts over the noise of the kitchens, obviously confused.
"A water, please" I reply again, getting slightly agitated.
"A what?"
"A water, please" I raise my voice.
"A what?" She shouts for the third time.
A WATER BITCH! Oh, whatever.
"Just a coke please" See lady, I sacrificed my water because of your deafness.
"Okay, that'll be 1.20" She says smiling. Yeah, keep smiling old lady, the water gods will punish you for this. Giving her the money, I look back to see Rosalie trying to hide a smile. Shut up blondie. The lady asks her if she wants anything, to which she replies "I'll just have a water please"
That bitch. If she gets a water I swear I will…..do something.
"Sure thing, that'll be $1."
Okay. I'm done. Rosalie walks over smugly. I look at her and her water in contempt.
"Why?" I ask simply.
"It was your accent, she didn't understand what you were asking" she responds, as if that is supposed to make it okay.
When we get back to the table, I'm still frowning. Everyone looks amused, like they know what happened. "Just a coke?" comments Dickward. "Yep" I am so not in the mood right now. Jasper laughs and a calming feeling washes over me. He has a really nice laugh. Like, really nice. I could listen to him laugh repeatedly. I should make it my ring tone. Jasper looks over at me, smirking that gosh darn smirk, and suddenly it's kind of hard to say anything. Oh god, Wednesday, get a hold of yourself, you sound like a bloody idiot.
"Really Jasper?" snarls Eddy. I look over to see him glaring daggers at Jasper. "Wha-" I begin to ask but I'm cut off by Edward storming away from the table.
"Umm… what just happened?" I ask, looking at Jasper severely confused. He just looks as if he finds the whole situation incredibly amusing. Emmet smiles (an obviously forced smile) at me and says "Don't worry about it, Eddy's on his man period." Oh. My. God. I laugh my full-blown, witch cackle laugh. Seriously, I love Emmet. Once everyone else laughs as well the tension at the table diffuses a bit. "So, Wednesday, what brought you to forks?" inquires Alice eagerly.
"I wanted a change of scenery," That and the slight mental breakdown, "Plus my cousin was moving here and I didn't get to see her very often," also I didn't enjoy being reminded of my best friend hanging from the church rafters everywhere I went "But mostly I wanted to spend time with my uncle before I finish school." My mum forced me to leave.
"Don't you miss England though, your family and friends?" She persists. Alice is sweet and all, but I don't want to be subjected to and inquisition right now. "Alice, hang back on the interrogation a bit, the girl just got here" intervenes Jasper as though he feels my reluctance. She looks at me apologetically, "Sorry, it's just awesome to finally meet you!" Strange choice of words.
"It's fine, don't worry about it. I'm sure I'll get homesick eventually but I like it here so far." I partially lied.
"We hear your struggling with American History" Says Emmet, amusement dancing in his eyes. This causes me to glare at Jasper for revealing my weakness, prompting a laugh from the Texan. Well thanks.
"Rose and I could help you with that!" chirps Alice happily while Rosalie looks like she would rather shave her eyebrows then spend time with me.
"Uh that's nice of you but-"
"It's settled then. We'll take you to our house after school!" commands Alice. Wait, what?! I did not agree to this. The bell rings loudly and everyone stands up, ignoring my protests. "See you later Wednesday!" Yells Alice running away. I look around helplessly at the others. Emmet just laughs and shakes his head, "She does that. See you tonight shrimp." He walks away with Rosalie, who throws me a final glare, just for luck. I turn to Jasper completely confused, "I don't understand what just happened."
He chuckles and says, "You have been coerced into coming to my house and spending time with my bat-shit crazy sister." Aww… don't be mean to Alice. Everyone left in the cafeteria is staring at us standing alone, so I quickly drag him out of the lunch room. "What class do we have now?" I ask, far too lazy to look at my schedule. "Biology" He replies. Fun.
"I detest science, it is disgustingly boring" This is proven fact. Suddenly, I have the undeniable urge to play Slap Tag. "Jasper," I begin sweetly. He looks at me cautiously. Yes, be afraid Golden One, be very afraid. "Have you ever played Slap Tag?"
"No, I have no idea wha-" I cut him off by slapping him, not on the face of course, we're not on that level yet. "You're it!" I laugh running away, leaving him in a state of confused shock. Ha!
His eyes take a dangerous glint, causing me to run slightly more hysterically. I bash past a group of people before realizing I have absolutely no idea where my biology classroom is. Bella is ahead of me walking into a room, my only chance of survival is to have her protect me. As a human shield of course.
"BELLSY!" I shout making her turn bright red. Much like a tomato. "Save me from Jasper! He-" this time, I'm cut off by a hand slapping over my mouth. Oh dear. "Nothing to see here folks, move along nicely" I hear Jasper drawl from behind me. He turns me around and I give him my best innocent smile. "Jasper, pleasure to see you again"
"And you kitten, care to explain why you thought it appropriate to smack me?" Okay, why does he have to be so freaking handsome?
"Well, you see, I was dreading the prospect of attending Biology. So I thought perhaps if I smack you, I would no longer have to suffer through that lesson" Wow. Even I didn't understand what I just said.
"Really?" He asks, doubting my flawless logic.
"No, I just wanted to play Slap Tag" I respond, smiling again. He looks like he's struggling between bring amused or annoyed. "Okay then, but I'll get you back for this." He warns. Why do I get myself into these situations? We stand looking at each other for a moment, before he pulls me to the door Bella was about to enter. "Time for biology!" He says grinning. Why? Just… why?
Elena POV (Lunch Time)
Why am I here again? Oh yeah, because Sam has me doing his dirty work, as always. The last thing I want to do is spend my time in Forks, keeping an eye on the Cold Ones. Apparently this new chick, Wednesday, is related to the incident with the U.K pack.
As I was listening to these Pale Faces chatting my ear off, the Cold Ones entered the cafeteria. I guess they were beautiful, for leeches, but I didn't see what the big fuss was about. It turns out one of the girls at the table was related to Wednesday, meaning she could be useful. I have no idea what Wednesday knows, but I'm sure as hell going to find out.
Edward POV (Lunch time)
Wednesday was clearly getting very annoyed with the lunch lady, which was incredibly amusing. It's strange actually, how well she and Jasper were suited. They both had tempers, enjoyed getting reactions out of people and were loyal to a fault. But were Jasper could be dark and cruel, Wednesday seemed to have a child-like amusement, a seemingly whimsical nature. Her past was interesting, and from what I heard from her phone conversation, none too pleasant. However, she seemed to naturally conceal her thoughts, which was incredibly irritating. Most humans never assume anyone was listening, so they think openly and freely. But Wednesday was different, a part of her was hidden to me and she had an edge to her that I didn't understand. Meaning, I had to work hard to hear her thoughts, and even then sometimes I could only hear things she thought loudly (with a lot of emotion) or that were directed at me. Also the scent of her blood, while sweet, was unusually faint. This made her easier for us all to be around, without desperately wanting to tear out her throat. All in all, Wednesday Swan was an enigma.
When she and Rosalie returned to the table, I could hear everyone's internal laughter at the water situation, even Rosalie's. "Just a coke?" I ask, to be annoying. Wednesday seemed to have a fondness for nicknames, as she referred to me in her mind as "Dickward".
Jaspers thoughts until this point have been of reluctant fondness, but now they had taken a nasty turn after he felt my pleasure at his interactions with Wednesday. He was thinking of doing some horrible things with Wednesday, before going to "visit" Irene this weekend. "Really, Jasper?" I snarl at him. He doesn't understand how delicate her mental state is at the moment. His thoughts in reply are enough to cause me to leave the table, before I attack him. This is going to be harder than I thought.
Okay, there you go. If you would like to give your opinion on this story or have a plot suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated. Constructive criticism is welcomed as well!
I will get round to changing that Vampire Diaries scene a few chapters back….eventually.
