Alice POV
"What happened in Australia, and why did you fill up with hate when your mother talked about your father?"
She hesitated. I knew it was right to have asked her.
"Do you trust me, Alice?" she asked quietly.
"You know I do, Bella," I answered gently.
"Then trust me on this," she murmured. "You know I've been raped, you know I've seen my girlfriend's head being torn off. I've been responsible for you nearly dying. So know that I must have a reason when I say; Back off, Alice."
"Renee will tell me," I threatened.
"No she won't," Bella said. "She doesn't know the full details. Just enough to hurt you."
"Then I'll pull out my biggest threat," I said darkly. "No sex for two months!"
"If thats the price, then I'll pay it," she said sadly.
Wait a minute. "Is it really that serious?" I asked, my lips the only part of me that moved.
"It tore my family apart," she said quietly. "If you weren't in danger, then I would have never gone back to my parents."
I shuddered. "You know what? On second thought, I've decided to remove my restriction. Of course you can have sex in the next two months. I can see it means a lot to you, so don't tell me, unless you feel comfortable with it."
She shivered against me. "Thanks, Alice." Her voice was soft.
"Time for school," I whispered.
Perhaps a minute later, we were in the garage. Lucky vampires could move so fast, I thought, as we pulled on a backpack.
"What car should we take?" Jasper asked.
"I've grown fond of little Vivian here," Edward purred, stroking the silver Volvo we had escaped from Volterra in like a cat.
My mouth fell open. Next to me, Bella was staring at him. "You named your car?" she asked faintly.
"Whatever," he grinned. "Jump in."
Four people easily fit into the Volvo. It was a smooth ride to school. Seven minutes to go until first period. "I need to go to the office," Bella stated.
"Yep," I agreed. We trailed off to the office, not hurrying at all.
"Uh, yes," Bella said to the secretary there. "I am Isabella Swan. Can I please pick up my schedule?"
"Sure," the secretary said faintly. "Will you be requiring any help to get around school?"
"No, thank you," Bella said politely. "I already have a guide."
"What do we have together?" I asked.
She looked at both of our schedules. "Pretty much everything," she said enthusiastically. "I mean, you have Chemistry when I have a free, but other than that, you're set."
"Good," I reflected. "Maybe Carlisle would let me drop Chemistry this year."
"Well, you've already done the course how many times?" she teased.
"Eight," I returned quickly. She stared at me, shocked.
"What?" I asked, irritated.
"You've taken the course eight times?" she complained. "I was already struggling in Chemistry!"
"I'll tutor you," I offered. "Should only take a week. I'll have you a chemistry expert by then."
"No need," she reminded me. "I don't take it anymore, remember?"
"Dammit!" I cursed. "Now what are we going to do in our free time?"
"I have an idea," she teased. "And I'm also fairly sure that you know what it is."
Yes, I did. And now I was feeling hot and bothered. "Thanks a lot," I grumbled.
First period, we had Calculus together. "Time for class, Bella," I teased. She rolled her eyes at me, and started to stride off. Then she paused.
"You have no idea where your class is, do you?" I asked. She laughed and shook her head.
"Follow the expert," I called, heading off to Calculus.
Exactly one hour later, I had the teacher's lecture written down word for word on my sheets of paper. There was also a pile of notes between us; it was more fun to write notes in class than speak, even when we could speak fast enough that no-one else could hear us.
"Amazing." She shook her head. "I'm failing Calculus already."
"What?" I asked, startled. All of us vampires had an easy time understanding all of our classes.
"Well, every time it seems I understand what a teacher's going on about, I have no idea," she explained. "Mr. Verner seemed like he was making sense, so I'm failing."
"Silly vampire," I chuckled. "You're a vampire, now. Everything makes sense."
"Not everything," she corrected. "I still don't understand how vampire boys can get, you know, hard-ons. Don't you need blood to fill it up?"
Huh. Good question. "I have no idea," I said, startled. "I'll ask Carlisle after lunch. In the meantime, I have an important question to ask you. Do you want the school to know about us?"
"I couldn't care less," she snorted. "If any pigs think anything bad about you, I'll knock them out."
Looking at her delicate body, I shuddered. Her taking on some of my traits- my height, my seeming fragility- suddenly seemed like a bad thing.
"You might have to," I replied. "Get that Mike Newton for me at the first break, would you? I'm not allowed to hit him, but Esme never put any restrictions on you."
"Let's just go," she laughed. "We have English next, I believe?"
"Yes," I replied. We ran to our next class- at a normal human speed, of course.
When we got there, I stopped in my tracks. Bella looked at me inquisitively and looked where I was looking. She gasped when she saw Leah sitting at a table.
We walked over to her. "What are you doing here?" I asked. She might be in love with my fiancée, but Bella had made it clear that she had chosen. Then again, she knew nothing about how Leah felt...
"Bella?" Leah asked, looking thunderstruck.
"Don't you go to the werewolf school?" I asked.
"Don't you go to the vampire school?" she shot back.
"Original," I muttered sarcastically. "You know, there is no actual vampire school, Leah. There is, however, a werewolf school. What are you doing at the humans' school?"
"What are you doing at the humans' school?" she shot back.
"Carlisle made me go," I chuckled. "Now why are you here?"
"I was expelled," she admitted sheepishly. "I broke Paul's nose, 'cause he was raggin' on you vampires."
"Raggin'?" I asked, my eyebrow twitching.
"Yeah, well," she muttered, shuffling her feet. "You know Sam and the rest of them don't take kindly to Seth, Jacob and me hanging around you guys, so the principal wouldn't overlook it, and, yeah."
"So," Bella said, after a few moments of silence. "You're cool with me being a vampire?"
"No," she said, shrugging. "But you're still Bella, no matter what you smell like."
"Hey!" she said indignantly. "I smell very nice, thank you very much!"
"Sure, sure," Leah mumbled. "We should probably listen."
"Yeah," Bella groaned.
We had our break next. I rang Carlisle and asked him if it was okay to drop Chemistry. He promised to talk to the principal about it.
"Well, now my schedule is yours," I said, leaning in to her.
We sat companionably for the rest of the break, occasionally leaning in to kiss. Somehow, no-one saw us do it.
"We have History next," Bella whispered to me. "We should probably go."
"Yeah," I moaned. God, this was so annoying.
"How many years do we have left of school?" I asked.
"Six months," she replied. "Then Carlisle will probably make us go to another one."
"Nah," I decided. "We'll get married before then, and go on our honeymoon."
"Six months?" she asked. "Wow. Lucky your house is so big."
"Our house," I corrected. "Yeah, otherwise your mother would have nowhere to stay."
"Yeah," she sighed.
After suffering through another period of History, then another of Trigonometry, we finally had our lunch break. Leah wasn't there.
"Well, what do you think?" I asked. "Can I punch anybody if they annoy you?"
"Sure," she sighed. "Let's show them that we're together."
"Okay," I said, taken aback. We stood up, grabbing everybody's attention. Leaning in, we kissed.
Most of the people in the cafeteria looked disgusted (or horny, in the boys' case.) Jasper and Edward applauded our bravery. One girl looked completely uninterested.
"Over there," Edward whispered to me, not sure if I had noticed her. "She doesn't care if you're gay. Come on, you two! Make some human friends!"
That was what Carlisle had said, this morning.
"Hello," I said brightly, skipping over to the table where the girl sat. "I'm Alice Cullen."
"I'm Angela Weber," she replied. "I'm just waiting for my boyfriend to come back."
The silence stretched until it was uncomfortable. "Can we sit?" Bella asked finally, breaking the tension.
"Sure," Angela said quietly.
Less than two minutes later- one minute thirty-nine seconds later- a boy arrived, holding a tray for himself and a tray for Angela. "I didn't know we had guests," he said soberly. "Sorry."
"Don't worry," I breezed. "We both have special dietary needs; we eat before we come."
"That's good. I'm Ben." He held his hand up to shake mine.
I gripped his hand. He flinched when he felt how cold my hand was. "I'm Alice Cullen," I told him. "This is my girlfriend Isabella Swan."
"Nice to meet you."
"Uh-oh," Angela interrupted. "Here comes Jessica. If I were you two, I would go."
"No." Bella squeezed my hand. "We'll stay."
"Your funeral," she sighed.
"Hey, lezbos," a horse-faced girl called. At least, that's what I saw. "We don't let your kind in here." She spat at my feet. The whole cafeteria went silent.
"Do you have a problem with my girlfriend?" I asked, standing up to look at her better.
"Yeah, I do," she said, looking disgusted. "Nobody wants any of your fag germs in here. Get out."
"Did you just insult my girlfriend?" I asked, deadly quiet now.
"Yeah, I did," she sneered. "So get your ugly asses the fuck out of here now."
I placed my fist on my head, softly even for a human. "Never insult my girlfriend," I hissed softly.
"What are you trying to do?" she asked contemptuously. "You trying to pull some sort of fagot trick on me?"
"No," I hissed menacingly."I'm going to knock you flat on your back."
"Yeah, right," she laughed. I was impressed; ordinarily, a human facing an angry vampire would be terrified.
I pushed on her, letting some of my strength flow into me. She flew backwards in a wonky arc, eventually crashing onto the floor and sliding several more metres before stopping.
"Anybody else got a problem?" I asked loudly. Everybody shook their heads; two boys, I think their names were Erik and Tyler, rushed over to her.
"She's fine," they announced.
Angela was staring at me, white-eyed and pale. Ban, on the other hand, was staring at me intently. "That was so cool!" he squealed.
Bella was frozen. "What's wrong?" I asked her, worried.
"Over there," she managed to get out.
I looked over to where she was pointing. Two vampires I recognized stood there, smirking at me. A snarl erupted from me. "Alec and Jane," I growled.
"Do you recognize them?" Angela asked Bella.
"I sure do," Bella hissed. "Alice, would Aro or Marcus mind if I killed Jane?"
"Why would you want to kill them?" Ben asked, puzzled.
"It raped Alice," Bella hissed.
Ben looked at them in disbelief. "That boy raped Alice?"
"No," Bella snarled. "Jane did!"
"Angela, Ben," I whispered. "What do you have next?"
"Geography," Angela answered.
"Me and Bella got sick. We went home, okay?" I told her quietly.
"Have you told the cops?" she asked me.
I snorted. "The cops are the ones who let them do it, back in Italy."
"You'd better go," Angela whispered. "I mean, if you're already ditching."
"Yeah," I whispered, turning around. "Come on, Bella. We need to go talk to Carlisle."
Thanks must go to my favourite reader, -XxTWILIGHTfreakxX-, for reviewing again. Very possibly, you could be my favourite person in the world; depending on if any of my friends call in the next half-hour. They haven't called all holidays, so I doubt it.
Some things have been pointed out to me. Such as-
One. 'But the thing is, why didn't Alice just have a vision of Jane coming and leave before she could, or just run past her or something?'
I think I pointed this out earlier, but I'm not sure. Alice had her visions broken, during a fight with Jasper. They now only come sporadically.
Two. 'And what happened to Leah? She just froze at the door...then nothing else was said'
I thought this was obvious at the time, but looking back, I remembered that I do know everything about my story. When Leah left, the whole story was focusing on one important detail; the marriage. I really wanted to draw attention to that fact, and the fact that Leah knew nothing about how close they are now.
People may have noticed that there are few sex scenes in this story (well, not exactly few, but the ones I have described are hard to write, because I've never had lesbian sex. (That would be kind of hard. for a 15-year-old straight boy, in a state where it's illegal before you turn 18.) Well, I now have a friend who has a writing style similar to my own. Better yet, she's gay! And has gone the next step! Yay!
And lastly, I'm just going to ask your opinion on something; I'm tossing two story ideas around, for after this story. Should I do another Alice-Bella story, set in an institution? I've only read one story close to it, and that was set in a mental institution, whereas mine is set in rehabilitation. Or should I do a Volturi Princess story, set with Bella/Rosalie? No matter which, I promise it will be better than this one. ;)
This was one incredibly long Author's Note.
Again, read and review! All pointers are appreciated!
