I think you guys will love this chapter too. Has some good parts. Well in my mind it does.
I woke up, shockingly with Bella having not too. She wouldn't have too because I was super excited about today. Why you might ask? Well I'll tell you…..I'M GRADUATING TODAY! I was ready to get a move on out of Forks High school. Not that I would miss any of my friends or anything, it's just I'm ready to leave this little town for a humungous city on the other coast.
Alice and I already set everything a go for the party she had planned. I had my dress at my house ready to be worn under the ugly yellow dress gowns and caps. But hey their mine. I think Charlie is getting a little emotional about me and Bella graduating. We're his only kids.
I've talked to Embry more. We've even planned more gatherings; I guess you can say, to hang more. He showed me around the reservation, took me back to Emily's, although surprised that the other weren't there. But I've got to know him better.
While I was getting to know Embry more, the more questions I had about Riley. What was he doing their? I was almost sure that he had something to do with the horrible things that are happening in Seattle. But I hoped I was wrong. I had gotten more curious about him. I also saw Charlie working on a missing person's case. It was the Riley Bier's kid. Once I got a look at the picture I noticed some distinct features about Bier's and the Riley I knew as a vampire.
They were the same person.
That's why he was missing. He was changed by someone. Who? Your guess is as good as mine.
I was thinking one day, and about Riley when I came to an exceedingly important question. Why did I care? I didn't know why I did, just knew that I did care. I would care about what would happen if the Volturi found him. They would kill him for sure if they knew it was him, or if it was him. I found my stomach got nauseous just thinking about. Or how my heart seems to flutter when I think of the time we interacted at the bookstore in Seattle.
But anyways back to present day. School got out early for the seniors so that we had a big breakfast in the Cafeteria and didn't have to go to any of the classes, because we were excused. It was awesome being a graduating senior.
I went home, took Bella's truck and changed into my dress that Alice picked for me with everything else she picked out. When I had got to my room, if felt off. Like someone was in here and moved something. Ever get that feeling? It can leave you paranoid for weeks.
So I looked around and noticed that some off my clean clothes were scattered on my bed. 'Okay, I know I didn't leave those there.' I was really suspicious. I did a round of looking around my house for an intruder but didn't find anyone. I sighed and marched back into my room. I kind of hated being in the house by myself at times like these.
So I finished putting on my clothes, grabbed my cap and gown when I got the feeling I was being stared at again. I was really beginning to freak out. I was in a house by myself and had a paranoid feeling.
I went over to the window to see if anyone was there. I thought I saw Riley up in a tree but when I blinked to see if I was seeing things, he was gone. 'Guess I'm really losing my mind.' I turned around and jumped out of my skin. I let out a squeal too.
It was only Alice. I put my hand over my heart, feeling it thud like a horses after a race. "Did I scare you?" She questioned. "Don't do that Alice!" I scolded her. "Sorry, I didn't mean too. But we gotta leave." She grabbed spare arm. "Will you tell me why?"
Once outside the house, she practically shoved me into her yellow porche. She looked once into the forest behind my house. "What is it Alice?" She drove off, quickly I might add. Like in a hurry. I hurriedly put on my seatbelt. "Okay Alice, What's wrong? Why'd you drag me out of my house?" "It wasn't safe." She only answered. "Why wasn't it safe?" I pushed on. "The same scent that was in your house before was their again."
'Oh my god.' I felt as if I couldn't breathe. "He was in your room again, Celia. Do you understand how serious this is?" "Of course I do Alice." I think that Riley was in the intruder of the house that one night before. But I couldn't be positive.
She drove right to her house. I could tell already that it had been decorated. It looked great from outside, I wanted to see what it would look like inside. She parked the car inside their huge garage and waited for me to get out.
We walked inside the house together. The rest of the family wasn't here. 'Must have gone for a quick hunt.' She led me to her and Jaspers room. She gestured me to have a seat. She grabbed her phone to call the family. She walked out of the room to speak, although I couldn't hear what she was saying in the first place.
While out I took a seat at her vanity table to start my hair. I twisted the front peaces out of my face and pinned them back. But left my hair down and curly. I had finished just after Alice walked in again.
"We'll talk about the intruder thing later, after the party is done. The family will meet us at the school." I nodded in agreement. Half an hour later we left for the school.
We got to the school and went over to the rest of the Cullen's plus Bella. We were about to have a conversation about the intruder when someone decided to start the whole ordeal. I sighed. Both Bella and I went to our designed places. Me before her because of our names and all.
When I got my diploma Charlie stood up and clapped. He looked like he was going to cry. He remained standing for Bella as well. After we had gotten our diplomas we got to sit were ever we wanted. Bella sat next to Edward, and I sat on the other side of Bella. Jessica's speech was like how Bella said it would be. Epic.
Jessica looked somewhat nervous when she got on stage. 'I would be too if I was valid Victorian.'
"When we were five they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case a princess." Some chuckled at that. "When we were ten, they asked again. We answered rock star, cowboy, or in my case a gold medalist." Some laughed at that too. "But know that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how bout this. Who the hell knows?" Cheers were coming after she said that. Coming from me also. "This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions. This is the time to make mistakes." This might make Bella think about some things. "Take the wrong train, get stuck somewhere. Fall in love. A lot." Some laughed at that. "Major in philosophy, because there is no way to make a career out of that." Some laughed again. "Change your mind. And change it again. Because nothing's permanent."
'Oh, how wrong you are Jessica.' I thought grimly about Bella's decision. I might not have liked Bella's decision about being a vampire, but I will support her decision. Because she is my sister. It's what she wants.
"So make as many mistakes as you can. That way some day, when they ask us what we want to be, we won't have to guess. We'll know."
Applause and cheers sprang up from all around after Jessica finished her speech. It was the best valid Victorian speech I have ever heard.
After that came the party at the Cullen's. It was a really great party. It was almost packed with people. I felt kind of bad for Jasper, cause he didn't like being around humans all that much. There was music in the living room but you could hear it all over the house. I was with Bella, because she was my ride obviously.
We made it up the stairs to the main part of the house, Jessica and Angela made their way over to us. "Hey!" Angela greeted. They both gave her hugs. They greeted me as well. "What did you think about my speech? To easy breezy?" Jessica asked. "No, I pretty sure you nailed it." Bella said. I agreed with her. "Yea, I don't think any of the other classes could top it." I put in my two cents. "You think so Celia?" "Of course." "Thanks."
They had walked away, Bella walked over to the other side. Probably to see Edward. She looked back to see that coming up the stairs were Jacob, Embry and Quil. They all looked out of place here. 'What are they doing here?'
I walked over to them with Bella. Jacob noticed Bella and me coming over to them. They met us half way. "What're doing here?" Bella questioned. "I was invited remember?" They started a conversation. I was just listening, wondering where this was headed too. "Celia." I heard my name being said.
It was Embry who said it. He was looking at me, up and down. Totally checking me out. He met my eyes and said, "You look beautiful." I smiled. "Thank you Embry." Someone from behind me grabbed my arm. I looked to see it was my friend Zach. Remember him, he drove me one day to school?
"Come on, everyone's here." Everyone meaning all of my friends. I smiled. I looked back to Embry, who had a hard glare on his face, looking at Zach. "Bye Guys," I called to the Quileute tribe boys. I grabbed Bella's arm, "I'll see you later." She nodded in understanding.
Zach dragged me to where the rest of my friends were, which was Zach, Lisa, Cameron, Jenny, Brooke and Jeremy. They were talking about different things. I got a hug from each and every one of them.
They party went on and it was a blast. I noticed that Bella and the Cullen's weren't here. Along with the Quileute boys. But I shrugged it off; I was going to enjoy myself.
But something had to ruin the momet...
Tell me what you guys think! So please Review, it means love. :)
