Once inside, Charlie comes into the kitchen, surprised to see me home so early. "Why are you home kiddo?" Then he takes in my appearance. "And only in a shirt." He growls. I sigh and put my glass of water down. "We were at the bonfire and I told them a little back story involving something, and they start talking about me and making decisions for me like I wasn't there. Said I needed 24/7 protecting. So I went off on them, then I exploded. Clothes ruined. So Matt gave me his." After I finish my rant, he raises an eyebrow. "What back story involves them thinking you need protection?" Oh crap. "Um, last spring. I was in the hospital right?" He nods. "Didn't fall out a window. And I didn't want to leave you either. A vampire was hunting me, and the only way to keep you safe was to leave." I say before showing him my wrist. "Long story short, the Cullens killed 1 vamp, but his mate got away. That's the one they have been chasing, and now they know what see after." I finish. Sympathy is now written all over Charlie's face. "Oh Bells, nobody should ever have to go through what you've been through." He then hugs me. "It's okay dad. Edward sucked the venom out to save me, and the rest of the Cullens took care of James." He nods. "If I ever see them again, I need to thank them." I nod and head for the stairs. "Goodnight dad." "Night bells."
I head upstairs and into my room, and just about screamed at the sight in front of me. Edward. On my bed. Looking at me as if he never left. Confusion on his face. I bet mine shows shock.
"W-what are you d-doing here?" I say slowly, cursing my voice for cracking. "That's not the welcome I was hoping for." He replies. Anger bubbles in me. He thinks he can leave, than come back into my life like he never left! Well he's got another thing coming. "What kind of welcome do you expect!?" I scream. "You want me to run into your arms and beg for you? Do ya! Well buddy, you can hop right back out that damn window, because the only welcome I'll be giving out, is to your family, asshole." I growl. "Watch your language. And lower your voice. Charlie will hear you." He says bossily. I snort. "Afraid Charlie will know your here? Watch this." I then open the door. "Hey dad! Cullens are bak and Edwards up here!" I scream downstairs. It's quiet for a moment, than I hear a gun click. "You better get your vampire ass out my house boy, or I'll shoot you." My dad says gruffly. I smile and shut the door, turning back to Edward. "You heard my father, get out." I state simply. "You told your father?" He asks incrediculously, ignoring my statement. Which didn't make me too happy. "No I didn't. If you hadn't have left you would have found out how he knew. Now though, I don't feel you deserve to know. Why are you back anyway?" I ask. "Alice couldn't see you in her visions anymore." He says. "Must be the wolves." I mutter to myself. "Wolves!" He yells. "Bella they aren't very good company." He scolds. "Speak for yourself, leech. They are safer than you guys, yet I still hung out with you. Now as I stated before, Get. Out." Without another word, he leaves.
I run downstairs. "Dad I'm going back to that bonfire!" I say before throwing on the tank top and sweats before running to the beach.
I make it there and see everyone is still there. Good. I run up to them at full speed, and stop centimeters from the fire. "Why do you smell like leech." Derek growls. "The Cullens are back." Is all I need to say before everyone is growling. "I'm transferring back to Forks High. I want them knowing I'm a Lycan to stay a secret for a while. But don't worry, I'm ignoring them from now on. I might miss them like hell, but they still left me." I say, not asking for permission. "Now. I will see you all tomorrow. Goodnight." I say before running back home.
$& !? & ?! &? ! $&? !&$ ?!$&
I walk through the front door and head upstairs. I close my door and turn around to see my empty bed. Good. I climb into it and fall into a peaceful sleep.
I am woken up by my damn alarm clock. Shushing it, I get out of bed and take a shower. Stepping out, I put my hair in a braid going from behind my left ear to my right shoulder, leaving a few strands hanging down in the front to shape my face. I then put on blue ripped skinny jeans, a red cami, my black leather jacket, and me converse. I put on a light mascara and head downstairs.
Grabbing a granola bar, I think about it, and I realize I should put some use to the bike Jake stored for me. Smiling at my realization, I grab my bike keys and head out the door. Climbing on my bike, I kick-start it and head to school.
I arrive in the lot, and everyone stares at me. They probrably think I'm a new student, but then I realize I am not wearing a helmet. Oh well. No dramatic 'taking off the helmet' I guess. I spot the Cullens car, and park across from it. I them proceed to get off of it and stand to my new full height, which is 5'11. I put the peg down on my bike, and walk straight into the school without even giving them a glance.
Stopping at my old locker, I put in my combination and see it still works. They Mike walks up to me. "Hey Bella! I thought you transferred to La Push high?" He questions. I only shrug and shut locker. "Changed my mind." I say shortly before walking to class.
All throughout the day, I got many stares and offers to go out. I told them all no and kept my head held high. During lunch I sat with Angela, still not looking at the Cullen table, but I could tell they were staring holes through my back, and I heard them talking about me.
"She developed style." Rosalie said. "And knows how to drive a bike." Emmett says. "Without a helmet may I add." Jasper interferes. "And her father knows about us." Edward says. "I hope I can get my best friend back." Alice says sadly. I snort, as if. She didn't even say goodbye. Some friend. The bell rings, and I'm more than happy to go to gym.
I quickly change into the uniform, and I find out we are playing basketball, and Emmett and Jasper are in this class. Yippee. Whatever.
I end up on Jasper's team. Everyone avoids passing the ball to me, and I growl in annoyance. Next time the other team had the ball, I stole it and shot a perfect half-court shot, glad to hear the satisfying swish of the net. Everyone stares at me and I just shrug. Then everybody, including Jasper, start passing it to me, makes us win the game in a shutout, seeing as I never missed.
Once gym was over, I run to the locker rooms to get changed, proud I didn't interact with the Cullens all day. Once I finish changing, I head straight to my locker then the parking lot. I am halfway to my bike when I realize that there are 7 boys surrounding it. Chris, Kyle, Jake, Embry, Quil, Matt, and Derek. Everyone is staring at the very large russet-skinned men, all the girls oogling them. I chuckle and run to them. I am then engulfed into a 7 person hug. "Can't. Breathe." I say, smiling. They all release me and step back. "Hey guys. Why are you here?" I question them. Everybody is now staring at me, even the Cullens, even though they have been all day. "We can't visit our little squirt of a sister after school can't we?" Matt says, ruffling my hair. I smack his hand away. "You ruined my braid!" I pout. "You'll live. How was school?" He asks. "Good I guess. I kicked ass in basketball, when they finally learned to pass me the fucking ball." I say. "Bella. You weren't always the most coordinated." Jake reminds me. "Down remind me." I say crossing my arms. "How was your day?" I question them. "Mrs. Dodds was happy you weren't there again today to make her look bad." Chris says. I bust out laughing, remembering yesterday. "And Maggie is glad your not 'running her school anymore'" Kyle says, putting quotations around running her school. I nod. "Mr. Lancaster misses our sick beats." Matt says chuckling. "And I miss giving you a piggy back ride to and from class." Matt says, again ruffling my hair. "Stop touching my hair!" I say pouting. "That's rule number 4. No touching my hair. Same consequences." I say. Horror crosses all their features for about half a second. I chuckle. "You guys should've seen your faces." I say, still chuckling. "And you didn't have to give me piggy back rides. I have legs." I say crossing my arms. "Whatever bells. Your coming over, not going home by the way." Chris says. I raise an eyebrow. I smile and nod. "Yeah. Lemme text Charlie." I see Derek gulp, and bust out laughing. Literally leaning on my bike, laughing my ass off. "Big bad alpha stil scared of my daddy?" I say putting on a fake pout. He just glares at me, which makes me flick him off.
After sending a text to Charlie, I realize everyone is still staring at us, including the Cullens. "Can we go now? Stares are annoying me." I say in annoyance. They all nod happily. Matt hops on my bike, and I hop on behind him. Jake gets on his bike while the rest pile into Jakes rabbit, which Embry is driving. I hand Matt the keys and he kick-starts it. He revvs the engine, which makes me slap him. "Just go." He chuckles and races out of the parking lot, the others on his tail, leaving the stunned Cullens and shocked students of Forks high in their wake.
We stop at Chris' house, and I hop off my bike. Matt gets off too, ad after putting the peg down, we follow the rest inside. Once in there, I look at Jake. "I see your getting along with my pack?" I ask with a raised eyebrow. "Last night at the bonfire." He says smugly. I nod and we fall into silence for a minute, but a comfortable one. Then I realize something. "We need to meet with the Cullens don't we?" I say. They all nod and growl. "Can we get it over with?" I say. "Like tonight? I can go speak to them now." I say. "Please? I want to get this over with." They all nod. "Greeeeeeeaaattt. I'll be back." "I then hold my hand out to Matt, who gives me my keys, and I head outside. Jump starting my bike, I leave the driveway. Here goes nothing.
