Disclaimer: Yeah, I kinda…don't…own Twilight, okay! Jeez, stop pressuring me, people. Sorry I haven't posted for so long, really busy. My cousin from Cali flew in and I have been spending time with her (she put MASCARA on me –shudders-), and my other cousin, who lives in my town, is having jaw surgery, which means she gets to have her jaw wired shut for 6 WEEKS. We will call her Linny. So I have to spend time with her and…care for her with my other cousin, whom we will call California. But, at every break I get, whether they are watching TV or listening to music, I will be on Linny's computer, writing you chapters as California screams at me to watch The Secret Life Of The American Teenager with her. In fact, right now I am sitting in the backseat of Linny's cute blue car, typing you this chapter, as we drive for 2 hours to the place where Linny is going to get her jaw surgery. While Miley Cyrus blaring out of the speakers, with Linny and California singing along. Ugh, I hate them sometimes. Thank Carlisle for Linny's laptop, which they have graciously let me use. Okay, enough about me. Let's get to the chapter!
The next morning, the three of us were packed and ready to go. Edward and I shared a bag, simple, black with thin golden threads woven together and reading "B.S & E.C". Alice had chosen a furry, white bag that read in pink, thick writing "A.C", her initials. Each were large rolling suitcases, packed with clothes for both tonight, tomorrow, and also contained the things needed for a sleep-over.
These two bags had been loaded into the Volvo's trunk, along with two tote bags, one in black and gold and the other in pink and white. One was loaded with food, for me, and four water bottles loaded with mountain lion blood for Edward and deer blood for Alice. The other bag contained various forms of entertainment, from DVD players to a small white boom box.
Finally were sleeping bags. A large black one for Edward and myself, and a furry white one for Alice. Next were pillows, golden silk ones for Edward and I, and Alice a matching furry white one. After adding the items mentioned above, and Jasper promising to sneak in during the night to see Alice, we left towards the school, going at a speed of about 98 miles per hour. Vampires and their speed.
We were directed to the gym by a cheerful freshmen, I'm pretty sure her name was Tiana Sam. Walking in, I was pleased to see we were one of the first ones here, and there were many places to select. We finally ended up in the right corner of the gym, across the whole room from the locker rooms. Alice and Edward began to set up, me helping all I could. Which, after I almost dropped one of the tote bags, which almost broke the water bottles, which almost exposed my fiancée's and sister-in-law's secret, wasn't much.
Twenty minutes later, everything was ready. The black sleeping bag had been placed up against the wall, the pillows leaning against the wall in a bed like fashion. I hadn't noticed that they had packed airbeds, and the sleeping bag was actually sitting atop a double air mattress. Next to that one, was the white sleeping bag, pillow in the same way, this one atop a single air mattress. The large suitcases had been used to create 2 walls around the sleeping bags, protecting us from people, which the tote bags resting against those said suitcases.
My engagement ring sat in the back pocket of my dark wash skinny jeans Alice had forced me into. We had planned on when I was to put it on, it was too be during the game of truth or dare. Alice was to ask me if anyone had ever proposed to me, and I would say yes, showing my ring and announcing the event of myself wedding Edward. Edward was absolutely jubilant when I had told him I wanted to make our engagement public. So far, the only people that knew were Charlie, Renee, and the Cullens. But after tonight, the whole school would know.
Soon, everyone else had arrived. Ben and Angela were next to us, and we invited them to join our group, and soon it was Ben's camouflage sleeping bag next to the newly made larger wall, and Angela's matching purple camouflage sleeping bag next to Alice's. I noticed Angela shooting nervous glances at Ben, who would smile back reassuringly at her and mouth 'I love you', as she would nod, mouth it back and then squirm slightly. We had been sitting in our little hut for a while, Angela and Ben sitting close to each other on Alice's sleeping bag, since Alice was busy putting theirs on air mattresses. I was leaning into Edward, his arm wrapped around me. "Do you know what's up with them?" I whispered in a low volume, much too low for Angela and Ben to hear. Edward just shook his head, a 'you'll see' crooked smirk on his face.
I shook my head at him, playfully sticking out my tongue as he laughed softly at me. "Ah, my Bella" he murmured. I smiled softly, pushing myself up to his ear and whispering softly "I love you". Edward looked me in the eyes, allowing love; devotion and adoration show through. Even without him saying it, I knew he loved me too. I glanced around at the scene around us. Angela and Ben now sat on their air mattresses, seeming to have a silent conversation with their eyes. Alice was stretched out on her own mattress, and it seemed she was reading. Then there was Edward and I.
I noticed Mike, Eric and Tyler had set up a little camp right in front of us, their sleeping bags facing us. Mike was holding binoculars, Eric a listening device which helped you zoom in on people's conversations, and Tyler a notebook, seeming to write down at a fast speed for a human, occasionally glancing at Eric, who was also staring at me, along with the rest of the boys. Feeling self-conscious, I looked down at my outfit. Nothing seemed wrong with it. A white, flowy tank top with gold glitter on the top part, dark blue skinny jeans, and golden flip-flops. My hair had been put in many braids over night, and now was nice and wavy. No, nothing was wrong, except for the fact that the shirt Alice had put me in, well, the white part was see through. Which was the reason Edward was allowing a low growl to come from him as the boys stared at my snowy white stomach. Joy.
Jessica had set up camp on the side of us, and Lauren seemed to be with her. Both were staring at my husband, whom was in a pair of matching dark wash jeans and a golden, tight fitting t-shirt. Alice. I shot them a ferocious glare that Emmett taught me, and they both looked away, seeming slightly…embarrassed to be caught ogling my boyfriend. No, wait, slash that. Fiancée. Sighing, I turned my attention to a group of kids that were doing the conga around the room to Disturbia by Rihanna. Okay, that was weird. Everyone knows that it's better to do the conga to SOS by Rihanna.
Allowing another sign to escape my lips, I brought my watch to my face. A 'simple' one, as Edward has put it, a pearl white with small diamonds, the time read 12:46 p.m. We had been allowed to come to school late, seeing as we would be skipping classes all day. Only about two more hours and I would reveal my, erm, secret to the world. Okay, or maybe just all of Forks and La Push.
