Chapter 11
I laid down on my now unneeded bed and stared at the ceiling. What possible reason could she have for kissing me, I questioned in my head. I was really bored; I desperately needed a distraction. I decided I would remodel the room by taking out the bed. Normally I hated redecorating or cleaning my room or stuff like that, but I figured it wouldn't take long with vampire speed and strength.
For getting the biggest part out of the way, I took apart the bed and took each part out the door of my room. Then I moved the drawing desk, the bookshelf and the table with the Mac book over to the wall where the bed had been. I had an inspiration for the centre of the room, but if I was going to do it, I needed to go to the city that never sleeps; New York City.
I ran as fast as I could; so fast that I was probably invisible to the naked eye. I got to New York in a matter of an hour. I ran through the city being very careful not to hit anybody or breathe through my nose. I then remembered I didn't need to breathe so I stopped breathing altogether. I eventually found a store that sold large blankets. I ran in with blurring speed and grabbed a blanket large enough to cover the remaining floor space of my room and ran out too fast for the security system to even detect the unpaid for item. I looked for a home decorating store. I found one near to the place where I'd gotten the blanket. I blurred in and grabbed some sticky-tack and those plastic glow-in-the-dark stars. I ran out as quickly as I got in.
I got back to Forks just as quickly as I had gotten to New York. I heard Edward's thoughts as I got closer to the house. Went on a trip I see. I looked up and saw Edward on the balcony of the Main House. Yup, I thought back at him. I was still looking up. Edward looked like he was trying to stifle laughter. I gave him a strange look. Then, I crashed into a wall. "Good thing I'm a vampire or that coulda hurt," I shouted with a grin on my face. I heard my classmates starting to wake from their houses.
I heard Esme's thoughts say, well, if everyone's up, I might as well make breakfast.
What the heck is going on Austin; I know that was your voice, thought Adrian in an annoyed tone. Did you have to shout so loud dang it!
Everyone came out to see what all the commotion was. Jobe, Adrian and Elliott took one look at the me-shaped impression in the cement wall and burst out laughing. I smiled and chuckled as I scratched the back of my head. I looked over to see Tarleen's reaction. She was putting her hand in front of her mouth, trying to stifle laughter by the look of it. She noticed me grinning at her and she looked away and blushed. Amber rolled her eyes and went back into her little house.
"Sorry everyone," I shouted out loud. "You can go back to sleeping or whatever you were doing!"
I heard random annoyed mumbles from the crowd, but Elliott, Jobe and Adrian couldn't stop laughing. I looked over at Mya and Meghan. They looked slightly perturbed and tired. Mya's eyes met mine for a second; she looked away immediately and so did I.

I walked over to the main house where the humans were eating breakfast. I wasn't really interested in what they were eating this morning. I sat in the living room of the large house where Emmett was watching college football. "GO, GO, GO," he shouted loudly. I gave him a strange look.
"Hey Emmett," I said casually.
"Huh? Who said that?"
I remembered how much shorter I was than he is and that I would never grow again. "Down here," I sighed.
"Oh yeah; I forgot how short you were."
"Wanna try sparring Emmett?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Like a practice fight." His laugh boomed out through the big house.
"A…fight…with…you?!" He couldn't stop laughing long enough to say it right.
"Yeah; like now!"
Everyone was now in the living room. Staring at me and Emmett.
"Well, I never turn down a challenge, so sure!"
"Alright then; let's get ready and I'll meet you out there in an hour."
"You are goin' down little man!"
