Chapter 11-
Alice POV-
A half-vampire that explained so much! I can't wait for her to join the family! I wonder if she'll be my new shopping partner?
If only Edward would get over himself and stop letting his reputation rule his life then he would realise that deep down he's in love with Bella.
Rose POV-
I wonder what her powers are? I feel like I understand her better now. I wonder what caused her to become a vain and arrogant player? She at times let's her guard down and acts so differently but then when there are other people around the mask goes straight back up again. Maybe she's like me! I wish she wasn't so beautiful; her looks are enough to rival mine now she'll be even more beautiful once she becomes a full vampire.
Emmett POV-
I can't wait to have another sister! I wonder if she'll help me with my pranks? It would be awesome to have a partner in crime! She'd be the perfect person to prank Eddie because he can't read her mind; I'll have to get her onside to give me a hand. She's going to be a great asset to us in everyway.
Jasper POV-
During the meeting, I had been reading people's emotions, as Alice had instructed me to do. Mainly focusing on Edward, as Alice wanted to know his reaction to what Carlisle told us and her vision. His emotions had confused me! He went through so many so quickly. They had ranged from surprise, shock, excitement, confusion, understanding and then lastly anger. I think there might have been some short felt happiness in that mix too.
Esme POV-
I would have another daughter soon, and Edward would have a possible mate! This thought excited me. I was utterly shocked when Carlisle had told us about Bella but the emotion soon changed to one of love for her. This was fates doing and her addition to the family can only bring us more happiness, providing Edward lets fate take its course; then we would have a perfect and happy ending for us all!
Carlisle POV-
I had been very carefully watching everyone's expressions as I had told them about Bella. Everyone seemed to accept what she was and seemed genuinely happy that she would be joining our family soon, all except Edward seemed quite furious when he had left the table. We had all understood Alice's double meaning when she had told us her vision. However, I knew the question on everyone's minds was, Will Edward allow himself to fall for Bella or will he continue to resist what was unstoppable?
Edward POV-
I had thought long and hard about what I was going to do. I knew my family would want me to give in to fate and accept the fact that Bella will become my mate but I couldn't bring myself to lose the reputation I was so well known for! I had worked hard to get to where I was in my life. I had defied Carlisle and found out that vampire's can have sex with humans, but my control has slipped a few times. I had learnt over the years of being alone that I wouldn't just hand my heart out to any girl that walked past. They had to work for it and earn my love! I refused to give all this up for Bella! No way in hell, was I going to give up so easily, well not yet anyway! Bella was going to have to wait, I had plans to fulfil and I wasn't giving them up for her. She had forever to wait for they right guy, who is to say that I am going to be that guy!? If I was then she was going to have wait for me to be ready! She is immortal after all, so it's not like she is going to drop dead anytime soon!
Bella POV-
I awoke the next day with a start as I was hit with a vision. In it, I saw the Cullens and the Hales sitting around a large dinner table. Then I saw Carlisle stand up and start talking to them. What I heard sent me into shock! He was telling them all about me, what I was and all the information that I knew about myself except for what powers I possessed as they had no idea how many or which ones I had. The vision ended and I sat in silence as I came to terms with what I had seen and heard. It finally sunk in that they knew what I was but not what I could do and that I was apparently unaware of how powerful I was going to become!
I was now nervous for school today, but I decided I needed to play it cool and no different to normal or they would suspect something. I could only hope my composure wouldn't slip because I knew that either Alice or Rose if not both would notice if it faltered for even a second!
Then I was hit with another vision. This time it showed Edward and me holding hands and laughing together. We were staring into each other's eyes lovingly and were sharing short but passionate kisses.
I didn't understand how this was going to happen, I hated Edward Cullen and he only wanted me for one thing! There was no way I was going to fall for the stupid jerk! I mean I can't talk I'm a major bitch but I have a good reason to be. Besides I wasn't in love with they guy and I didn't plan to ever be in love with him! I only needed him to make my reputation even better! Besides, if Edward and I officially became a proper couple that would totally ruin my image! However, it wasn't that thought that was the reason I would not put myself out there! I had tried this once before and there was no way I was going to try it again.
I tried to regain my focus but I had too many thoughts racing through my mind. I decided that a hot shower might help to clear my head and allow me to regroup and focus on getting through today!
I felt on top of the world after my shower, and I was back to how I was normally. To add to my good mood I decided to add purple streaks to my chocolate brown hair. I decided that I didn't want to change the colour of my eyes today so I left them normal. I removed any blemishes to my skin and decided to give myself a slight tan as I didn't want to be pale today, so I added some colour to my skin making sure it looked natural and possible. I decided I didn't want any make-up today other than smoky eyes and brilliant red lips; I left the rest of my skin natural.
I put on a blue low-cut three-quarter length top that had some black embroidery on it. I threw on my favourite pair of black skinny leg jeans and added my favourite pair of black jimmy-choo heels, as the finishing touch. With that, I made my way down with my school bag ready to leave after a quick bite to eat.
Soon I was off in my baby, my blue Ferrari California! It can be a convertible or a sports car. It was hot and totally mine. God I love being rich.
I got to school and I saw Rose and Alice waiting by a hot red BMW convertible, it was nothing compared to mine but it was still a hot car. My nerves started to come back again, but I shook them off and regained my self-confidence. It was going to take more then two vampires to knock me off my high!
"Hey Bella!" Alice called, waving madly at me.
"Hey Ali Rose!" I replied waving back.
"Hey Bells, we were wondering if you would like to come to our house this afternoon to help us with some homework?" Rose asked, a little too politely for my liking.
Crap, I thought, how am I going to get myself out of this one?!
"I would love to but, I actually have something this afternoon. Maybe we could get together another time," I explained quickly.
"How about tomorrow then?" Alice requested.
Crap, I can't keep turning her down it'll seem suss!
"Tomorrow is great! I can't wait," I replied, forcing a smile.
"Awesome, we can do some girly stuff to like give each other make-overs! It'll be great fun!" Alice suggested excitedly, and I could all but see the ideas running through her head.
"Yeah, sounds like fun!" I answered, adding fake excitement to my voice.
"Hey, over here guys!" I heard Jess call, giving me the chance to escape before I let anything slip.
I walked over to our group with Alice flanking my right and Rose on my left. We walked as if we owned the school, which I did, and I realised that if I really wanted then I could rule the school with only these two at my side and we would truly be the most beautiful based on natural looks! I thought about it more as I went to sit with the group, the idea seeming more and more appealing the more I thought about it.
Alice POV-
Rose and I had managed to get our plan into action, now we just needed to get the rest into play. Bella had a strange out of it look on her face as we were headed over to our group. I was realised I was starting to like her more and more everyday but only time would tell if my visions would become a reality. We sat down at the group and I felt the familiar feeling of a vision coming to me. It showed Bella, Rose and I as the 'popular' girls, her group were out of the picture and we looked damn hot! The three of us ruled the school in it and our group were all jealous that Bella had chosen us over them. I looked to Bella and she looked deep in thought with a smile on her face. This was a decision she was contemplating. I'd have to tell Rose, she'll be thrilled!
Rose POV-
Throughout the day, Bella had spent hardly anytime alone with Alice and me. There was always someone with her at all times, it felt worse than if she'd been avoiding us! I was going to confront her and ask her what her problem was until Alice had told me of the vision she had gotten this morning. I was over the moon and decided to give Bella her space to take the time she needed, I didn't want to jeopardise the possibility of Alice's vision coming true.
Bella POV-
My day seemed to be going well until I got to fifth period. I had double gym and I had heard they were combining some classes for a compulsory dancing assessment. If you didn't do it, you didn't pass the year and had to repeat! However, what I hadn't known was that the gym class combined with mine just happened to be Edwards!
I walked into the gym and went to the girl's locker room to get into my gym clothes. They consisted of my hot pink short shorts and a low-cut black tank top. I walked out of the gym and stood with Jess and Erin who were in my class. Then he walked out, in a black tight fitting t-shirt and cargo pants. He looked hot, but I looked much better.
"Now students you are to choose a partner, with this partner you will learn the dances required. This year the boys will pick, so start thinking of who you want as your partner. I'm going to get the CD player when I get back you will choose," my teacher, Mr Johnson said before walking out of the room. The other class's teacher Miss Ramble was still in the room, wandering aimlessly around the gym.
I turned my attention to the see, which boys were in the other class. Out of the entire two classes there were only a few that counted as alright in my standards. They were Edward, Mike, Tyler and Ben. I could see the group of boys searching through the groups of girls and every single one stopped at me with hope in their eyes. All except for Edward, who looked straight at me and began smirking uncontrollably. I knew exactly who he planned to pick, ME!
"Alright that plenty of time to think guys," Mr Johnson called as he re-entered CD player in hand. Edward ran over to him and started talking with him. I saw Mr Johnson nod at something and I saw Edward smile.
"Well, Mr Cullen has volunteered to pick first," Mr Johnson announced.
"I pick Bella, Sir," Edward said, smirking at me evilly.
How was this going to help him in his attempt to get into my pants? I wondered.
I saw Mike's face fall, then pick up again when he saw Jess looking at him suggestively. I knew that she secretly had a thing for him and I was all for getting them together. One less annoyance to deal with was the way I looked at it.
Soon everyone was paired off and the dancing began. We were learning the tango and the rumba first.
Easy as, I thought to myself, I love being a quick learner.
Everyone stood with their partners and Mr Johnson and Miss Ramble showed us the steps, then left it up to us to learn it with our partners. I had already memorised the entire dance so I stepped closer to Edward ready to see if he could keep up with me. I then remembered he was a vampire and realised he would be a good dancer and of done classes like this numerous times over.
We stepped together and he grabbed my hand and my waist, pulling me even closer to his body. I placed my other hand on his shoulder. We started dancing perfectly in sync with the music and on our first go had the dance down pat as well as other steps we added.
Only problem was I had to keep moving Edward's hand from my butt to my waist as he kept dropping it.
He was, I had to admit, an amazingly graceful dancer. We continued dancing together and both our teachers were very impressed with our skills.
I was more graceful than Edward but for an arrogant jerk he was an unbelievable dancer.
All throughout gym, my vision of Edward and I from this morning was replaying in my head. I couldn't get it out! We watched each other the entire time our eyes never leaving the others, and for once I was beginning to think he might be an alright guy. But then he had to go and do something that threw that opinion right out of my head.
He went and tried to kiss me! I had been caught in the moment or rather his amazing topaz eyes but that snapped me right out of it. I slapped him and turned on my heel to the girls locker room and went and got my stuff and left. No guy ever tries to take advantage of me!
What was going through Edward's head through this? Was he falling for Bella or was he just caught in the moment or was he clear headed and just being himself?
