Chapter 11: C'est la vie baby
I was walking home with a limp from being beaten up by the biggest losers in school, ok they were losers in my mind, but the funny thing was that I was still laughing so hard tears spilled down my cheeks. To drivers I might have looked like and sounded like I was crying and the limping didn't help that matter. Yes when I laugh it sounds like I'm crying and when the tears come it just makes it that much worst. The pain in my leg, arms, jaw, and left eye weren't that bad I mean they would heal eventually right? The worst part was that they actually weren't scared of me or my mind like I thought and that just hurt real bad because I thought for once I could scare some one, but I guess not. Well I guess that now I should add ego onto my list of pains, the only problem was that I didn't have a big ego, sometimes I thought that I didn't have any ego and now it was bruised. Thanks a lot, losers! I screamed in my head. I really hated teens with attitude and right now I feel a little scared of teens. Teenagers scare the livin' *** out of me, I sang in my head, What a lovely song. I think that I'll listen to that when I get home. I stopped abruptly. Did I just call Charlie's mansion of doom, HOME?!?!!
The next morning I wore sunglasses to hide my black eye and I wore a brace for my knee and moved my arms very slowly. The worst part about being beat up is the next day when the pain catches up with you. As I walked up to the school I noticed my vampire friends hanging out in front of the cafeteria, which they normally never do, so you know it was kind of freaking me out a bit.
Today I wore a black long-sleeved shirt with a flaming skull on the front and the words LIFE'S HELL GET OVER IT on the back, jeans that had holes and strings on the bottom, combat boots, and black leather gloves that didn't have fingers on them. Today I was a rebel or a Punk Goth type thing.
Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper looked up when they saw me. They all smirked at my appearance, well except Alice of course who was absolutely horrified. Emmett gave two thumbs up and a smile that said, "Nice".
"So what's with the fancy get up, Bella?" Rosalie asked.
"Well I just felt the need to go Punk Goth or rebel, what ever you want to call it", I said. Alice let out a gasp and we all looked at her.
"You look horrible!" Alice exclaimed, "I have to fix it. Here come with me". She started to walk to the cafeteria and we all watched her, when she figured out that I wasn't following her she stopped abruptly and turned around, Alice had a menacing look on her face. I shrugged and turned back to the others.
"So are you still 'evil' Bella or 'good' Bella or what?" Rosalie asked.
"Here let me explain in song", I said. They all looked at me holding back laughter that was obviously coming on. "I aint takin' shit off no one. Baby that was yesterday, I'm an all American rebel makin' my big get away". I sang, Alice had rejoined us and she looked awed and screamed out.
"Steve McQueen!!" Alice screamed. Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie all looked at her like she was crazy, and believe me I'm sure everyone did think she was crazy. She shook her spiky haired pixie head, "Sheryl Crow on the CD of C'mon C'mon".
"Oh of course, how could we be so stupid as to not know what song that was", Emmett said sarcastically.
"But seriously Bella what's up with the sunglasses this isn't Arizona", Jasper said in his southern homey accent.
"Oh well…nothing big…but, uh….I got….um….beaten up…yesterday", I said quietly, but of course since they're vampires they heard it. Emmett cracked up, Alice and Rosalie gasped, Jasper was the only won who remained calm.
"So that's you're in pain", Jasper said thoughtfully. Oh yeah I forgot, he can feel, or read, my feelings, OF COURSE!
"How bad is it?" Alice asked in a hoarse whisper.
"Not too terribly", I answered, "It just hurts in my leg, both arms, my jaw, and I have a black eye". No need to tell them about my bruised ego, which would just kill Emmett again because he would be laughing too hard.
"Who the hell would try to pull something like that?" Rosalie asked, looking more like an angel of death every second.
"Well I have no idea", I said sarcastically.
"You mean to tell us that you don't know who it was?" Alice gasped.
"No I know who it was, I'm just…never mind", I said, "It was Jessica, her evil leader Lauren, oh and their trusty side kick Mack".
"Mack, we don't know any Macks around here?" Emmett said he was almost done laughing.
"Right you guys don't know. First name Mike, last name Newton", I said, "I just call him Mack to piss him off". I smiled swinging my arms, which was a horrible, horrible idea.
"Hmmmm? That's actually a good idea", Emmett pondered this some more. When he was done pondering his whole face lit up. "Bella, this is possibly one of your best ideas". Rosalie shook her head in mock disappointment.
"Thanks a lot Bella, now we have to deal with Emmett over here", Rosalie sighed, a big and extravagant sigh.
"Oh don't be such a drama queen, Rose", I said rolling my eyes in my big, dramatic manner. Alice and Jasper laughed, Emmett was still talking about my "brilliant" idea, and Rosalie was currently giving me a nuggie. Ahhh, vampire friends, there's nothing like it, almost dream like, well at least for me.
Jessica, Lauren, and Mack walked past, more like strutting. High, confident, and snooty, oooh were they snooty today. Beating up a helpless, laughing Bella Swan. Rosalie let me out of her death grip and we all stared at them, a little bit of murder glare in all of us, except no human could see mine because of my awesome spy sunglasses.
"SEE YA LATER MACK!!!" Emmett yelled after them, and we all gave a booming laugh that I swear could shake this state, no wait, continent, wait the world, no…well you get where I'm going. Sigh, what a life I have. C'est la vie, baby, C'est la vie.
