Chapter 11
Alice was still in a tizzy when Edward and I came back, full from our feast of some bucks we found fighting each other. We had decided to end their argument for them.
"Alice! It's only September fourth! Catalina won't be here for over a month! Jasper, will you please calm your wife," I exclaimed, exasperated.
Jasper chuckled and sent a wave of calm through the room. Alice settled down. She sank back on the couch and Esme took her chance to escape the hyper conversation she had just been captured in.
Esme walked over and snuggled up next to Carlisle while Edward and I made our way up to our room.
As we walked past Rosalie and Emmett's room, we heard a faint crash. Edward sighed and I chuckled. Those two were probably too preoccupied to even notice.
We entered our silver bedroom and I plopped down on the bed while my husband put some soft music on in the background.
"Well, at least life is never boring," I sighed as he gracefully laid down next to me.
I moved closer to him as he chuckled, "No, certainly not."
We spent the night whispering sweet nothings to each other as we watched the moon rise followed by the sun rise through the glass back wall.
I was hoping our second day at Forks High would be much less exciting. Boring school days always made my time alone with Edward so much sweeter.
"No!" I screamed at the frightened sophomore in front of me; I think his name was Austin. Austin was the third boy to ask me to the Welcome Back Dance in the past hour and my patience was about to crack. I know I shouldn't have yelled, but every boy there was so frustrating.
Not only did they see me holding hands with Edward in the halls between classes, but there was also the very public kiss we had shared the day before. Yet these hormonal teenagers still have to audacity to ask me out with Edward standing right next to me. The girls did the same for Edward. Yes, this had happened several times before at most of the schools we had to go to, but that didn't mean I had to like it.
After little Austin ran off in fear after my rude outburst, my husband and I met up with Jasper for Art class. He looked frantic as he hastened over to us.
"There is some lunatic following me around and refusing to speak to me! I mean, I tried to ask her if she needed anything, but she just stared at me. She just follows at me and all I can feel is blissfulness coming from her! Edward, what the hell is she thinking!" he urgently whispered through the side of his mouth.
I turned around to find none other than Emmy Newton about five feet away from us, closely following us.
"Jasper, calm down! You're sending off so many nerves my hands are starting to shake!" Edward commanded under his breath, "She is just singing some nursery rhyme over and over. There is something seriously wrong with that girl. Then again, she is a Newton, so she has to have some kind of mental disease."
"You know the Newtons?" I asked, confused. He had never mentioned a Newton before.
"Yes Bella. When you were human, there was a very disturbed boy named Mike Newton who would always try to ask you out. I didn't want you to remember that creepy stalker, so I never brought him up. Trust me, you don't want to remember him," he gently explained.
So there were things about my human life that Edward hadn't told me? That thought scared me. I trusted Edward when he said I wouldn't want to remember, but I did have a small seed of doubt in my mind. What else had Edward kept from me?
I was faintly aware that Jasper and Edward's conversation continued, but I was too lost in my own in own thoughts.
Edward had told me about all of the good and bad things that had happened when I was human because I didn't remember much when I came out of my transformation. Then I also had the video to look back on and many things did come back to me. I thought I had had a good collection of my human life, but now I wasn't so sure. I knew about Jake and Victoria and the awful few months when Edward had left me, but was there more?
We walked into the classroom and took our seats. Edward noticed that I was distracted and started to ask me what was wrong, but I just mumbled, "Later," and went back to my thoughts.
When he was telling me about... what was his name?...Mike. When he was talking about Mike, it didn't seem like he had thought it was important, so I shouldn't even be thinking about these things, should I?
If Edward didn't think it was important, then I should trust him that it wasn't. I tried to forget the train of thought I had just completed, but I couldn't shake the feeling I was forgetting something important about my human life. I would definitely need to talk with Edward once we got home.
I went through the rest of the day acting normal, but Edward knew something was up. He didn't say anything though, knowing that I would bring it up when I was ready. I man so considerate and so perfect would never intentionally keep something important from me, would he?
Emmy Newton continued to follow Jasper around all day and he was getting increasingly annoyed. He had even tried losing her by going in the boy's bathroom after an extremely odd lunch when she sat at the table across from us and stared at us the whole time, not even touching her lunch. The second he stepped out of the bathroom, she was back on his tail. Edward, Rosalie and I were confused, Alice was amused, and Emmett, normally the one to make jokes, was thoroughly creeped out and was too scared to say anything for fear Emmy would do something crazy.
While walking with Edward out of Science and to the gym, I jumped when I heard a shrill scream from down the hall. The students stopped, trying to figure out what the noise was. I didn't need my vampire hearing to hear what happened next.
Down the walkway Jasper screamed, "What the hell was that for!"
Emmy replied matter-of-factly, "I was bored."
That was the final straw. Jasper turned and ran out of the school at a just barely human pace. Alice was already at the door waiting for him, having seen that this would happen.
"They're going home. I think they will try to find some medication or something in Carlisle's office to slip Ms. Newton tomorrow to chill her out," Edward whispered in my ear as I giggled.
The warning bell rang, so I kissed Edward on the cheek and hurried off to Gym.
So much for normal.
Hey guys! I'm sooo sorry for the long wait and such a short chapter. so many things came up and I am convinced that the world hates me. I don't think this chapter was too bad, but I could be wrong. I'll try to update faster, but i don't know if I will be able too. Just a few chapters left! I hope you liked it and don't be afraid to drop me a review. Have a great day!
PS- I think it is obvious that I don't own anything but my new friend Emmy Newton, but we all have to go through this stupid legal stuff.
