We stared at Bella and Edward, waiting for the explanation for the reason why they had wings when they hadn't mentioned the entire race of vampires with wings. They were just so incredibly beautiful. When I first saw Izzy I was so extremely jealous of her and, until I told Emmett about it, I had been harboring a tiny grudge against her.
I almost brought that grudge right back when she and Edward came back looking twice as good as they had before they mysteriously disappeared. Izzy's hair was unimaginable and she had gotten even skinnier and even more stunning. Just like Edward, both seemed to be the most perfect beings in existence. They probably were.
Emmett admitted to me that he was jealous of Edward, both of them were just so unbelievably gorgeous and the entire school was lusting for either one of them. Girls would talk about Izzy's figure or her skin, how she was so skinny that she must be anorexic but then again that couldn't be possible since it looked as natural as a squirrel with an acorn.
Her hair caused quite a big upturn when she first arrived but now nearly everyone was talking about dyeing it like hers or cutting it just like it. The popular girls, Lauren, Jessica, and the rest of their group, sneered at her in the halls but in the bathroom, when they didn't care to see if anyone else was in there, they would talk about her.
"OMG, Izzy is so pretty. I'm like so jealous of her." someone would say, I think her name was Brittany.
"Oh I know, too bad she's like all goth and gross, we could totally, like, be BFF." Lauren would say.
"I want her figure. She must exercise a lot, there's no way she's anorexic it just looks so natural on her." Jessica or someone would add. They then would cake on their cover-up and spritz on more hairspray hen leave in a flock to their classes.
That was before I had discovered how amazing she was. I was used to being the one everyone wanted to be, those girls would want my figure, my hair. Now they want Izzy's. but I can't blame them, I want them too. And EDWARD! Jeez, he was even more talked about, if that's even possible.
"He's so hot!"
"I think I'm in love!"
"He TOTALLY asked me out yesterday."
"DIBS!"
It was a good thing I am so deeply in love with Emmett or else I would have been just like those girls, starving themselves and spending hours preening and primping myself just so Edward Cullen would take a second glance. I used to think he was gay since he never seemed to notice girls literally throwing themselves at him.
Now I realize that he was already in love, with Izzy and he had been waiting for her to return to him, even though he had no idea if she was even still alive. They were so clearly in love, you would have to be deaf, dumb, and blind to not notice the undeniable connection between them. When she moved, his eyes were on her at all times, even when he was talking to someone else.
It was like she was the sun and he was the planet, he was drawn to her and was always soaking up every essence of her. They stared at each other, sometimes for minutes on end, not saying anything but anyone with a functioning brain could tell there was an intimate conversation going on between them. If she so much as twitched a finger he noticed it. If he inhaled at all she would too. They were nearly one person, they knew all the moves the other would make.
It made me long for what they had, sure Emmett and I were on our way but I can't be sure if it's as real as theirs is. I know I love Emmett and he loves me, but how are we supposed to know? What if a girl comes along and snatches him up, because I'm not good enough? How am I supposed to know if there is a guy out there that is everything I want in a man and more? I certainly can feel it whenever I'm around Emmett, but is it real? Or is it just the jitters of a first love?
Nudge nudge.
DUH! The answer is right in front of me, actually it's right in my womb. Those two little nudges in my stomach put all those worrisome thoughts to rest, permanently. If this wasn't meant to be I wouldn't find myself gazing at Emmett all the time, I wouldn't catch him with his eyes locked onto me. I wouldn't feel complete and happy whenever he touched me or even looked at me.
That put a smile on my face and I quickly tuned back into the conversation that could decide the fate of every person I held close to my heart.
"Well, as you can probably guess, Edward and I were not in an accident. We were undergoing a transformation completely new to us. We got these wings and along with them came this additional beauty. It's really hard to explain so I won't go into it until we have more time. Because, right now, the bell is about to ring." as soon as Izzy said that the bells let out a shrill ring and we got up to go to our next class. It was History and it was one of the few classes I had with Emmett, Jasper, and Alice.
We walked to the bright classroom covered with posters of great explorers from the past centuries and maps of each continent lined up on the back wall. This class was really called World Studies but nearly everyone calls it History, including the teachers. It doesn't even matter since it's the same thing.
I was seated with my friends in the back row when all of a sudden Izzy and Edward, in all their supernatural glory, come gracefully loping in with their hands entwined. They saw us and we all started laughing since only moments before we had said our farewells only to see each other again.
"Hey Izzy, Edward. Long time no see." Jasper teased. That set off another round of laughter.
"Nice to see you all again, oh and please, call me Bella." she winked at us and took a seat with Edward at the table to the right of ours. They scooted their chairs so that they were right next to each other and even then Edward placed her partially on his lap and wrapped his arm tightly around her extremely tiny waist.
"Hey Bella, don't mind me asking but, how much do you weigh?" Emmett asked, tentatively. She laughed at the question and Edward quietly chuckled along with her.
"Don't be afraid to ask questions you guys, we won't bite… hard. Joking, anyway, I'm not sure, before… you know, I was around 85 pounds. Now I'm probably around 75." she said nonchalantly as if it was normal for a teenager to be below 90 pounds. But still, 75?! Alice weighs 95, and she used to be the skinniest person in the school.
"Jeez, you're tiny!" Alice said, slightly disheartened since she wasn't the skinniest person in the school anymore. Bella shrugged but turned to the front of the class because the bell had just rung and the lesson was about to begin.
"Afternoon class! Today we will be discussing… 14th century France!" Mr. Turner shouted excitedly. Edward and Bella froze at that but showed no other reaction to the announcement.
"Centuries ago there was a love affair that almost destroyed an entire kingdom," he began, effectively grabbing the entire class's attention, "The young French princess fell in love with a Lord from Britain which was forbidden, because well you should all know by now that Britain and France used to be mortal enemies." Bella and Edward looked petrified that they would soon be found out but no one seemed to notice.
"Princess Isabella Swan and Lord Edward Masen put hundreds of lives in danger, their love nearly started a war. But tragedy struck and they both were killed. No one has any idea what happened to the young lovers but there have been theories. Some include they ran off together, others are they were beheaded by the girls own father. But, to this day, no one knows." he concluded. Everyone had their mouths dropped open and Tyler Crowley actually had drool coming from the corner of his mouth. But that could have been from staring at Bella.
"Wait, sir, did you say Isabella Swan?" Emmett asked suddenly.
"Yes I did son. Daughter of Charles and Renee Swan. Why?" Mr. Turner asked.
"She's my great great great… well you get it, a lot of greats. Well she's my great aunt." Emmett said. Bella whipped around to stare shocked and somewhat excited at his statement. Emmett stared back at her, biting his lip slightly to keep from showing any acknowledgement that could pose a threat.
"Well, that is certainly exciting! A living descendant of the great Swan family! I haven't heard much of the other Swan daughter. She was a frail thing, not very many people ever saw her. Funny that a man ever was able to… well… moving on!" his face flushed and he pulled out a textbook and flipping to some random page and started reading it. The class decided they were allowed to talk so they started quietly discussing today's lesson. Never before have I ever seen my classmates talk about something school related unless they absolutely had to.
"Bella, Edward, come over here!" Alice whisper-yelled, pulling Jasper and herself to our table. They came once the other two were seated and sat themselves gracefully on two seats they took from an unoccupied tables.
"So how's it going my little nephew?" Bella laughed. It was amazing how quickly she had already accepted the fact that Emmett was in fact related to her. I looked between them and saw that they definitely had some similar features, just hers were more finely sculpted and angular. Their eyes were shaped nearly the same only Bella's were wider and more childlike.
It seemed strange that they could still have similar features since there had been many people had diluted their bloodline, contributing their own features and changing the Swan descendents. But their similarities were there, the way their noses sloped into the perfect straightness, and the way their milk white skin glowed in the fluorescent lights overhead.
"You two look alike." Jasper observed.
"Yes, they do. Bella, why did you never mention a sister?" Edward asked. Bella pondered that for a moment before she answered him in an unsure voice, although it was still beautifully melodious and fluent.
"She was much older than me, by the time I was born she was already having her second son. She was never around so I have nearly no memories of her. I can only remember her name, it was Sophie. She wasn't very good looking apparently so my parents were ecstatic when a young prince asked for her hand in marriage. I wasn't conceived yet when that happened." she explained. Emmett seemed happy listening about his many times great grandmother.
"That's amazing." I said, once Emmett and I were married, Bella would be my Aunt-in-law. The thought sent my mind spiraling into chaos and it was only when I felt Emmett's hand on mine that I snapped back into reality. Edward stared at me knowingly before turning back to Bella and tightly encasing her tiny fragile looking hand in his own large strong one.
She stared up at him lovingly and brushed his bangs out of his eyes before kissing him on the nose and then laying her head on his shoulder. He laid his cheek on her hair and they both seemed to disconnect from our world and transport into their own little paradise where only they existed. The others in the classroom watched with strange fascination as we all just sat together at the wobbly wooden desk at the back of the classroom.
They were perfect for each other and if anyone tried to tear them apart they would have to deal with me and probably Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Angela, Eric, and Saera too. Those two creatures had forever changed our lives and I doubted our little group would ever be the same if they left.
****************************
I don't feel like ending it there so you guys get more so this is gonna skip to the next day!
I pulled my red BMW M3 convertible into the school parking lot and was soon looking at the passenger of a gigantic red Jeep. Emmett's Jeep. The one I had spent so much time in, whether it be heading towards a date or coming back from one.
I got out of my shiny car and quickly made my way over to the drivers side of Emmett's jeep to greet him but he beat me to it. He picked me up gently around my upper stomach, careful not to crush our baby growing inside me, and gave me a warm hug then kissed me sweetly on the lips.
"Hey, how are you doing?" he asked once he set me down. I had been on the toilet all night, puking my guts up. My family had fish for dinner and the scent had made me blindingly sick and I had narrowly missed ruining the white carpet that covered my bedroom floor.
"Fine." I told him. No need to worry him over something that came with the experience of being pregnant, besides, it's not like puking and weird smells were abnormal. I had a few minor aches and stiff joints but nothing I needed to worry about.
I smoothed my beige turtleneck dress and adjusted my black leggings before resetting my handbag on my shoulder and walking hand in hand with Emmett to first period. We passed Alice and Jasper but they were busy in a heated make out session before they separated for their first class.
Alice looked stylish, as always, with a plaid Marc Jacobs miniskirt and a white Gucci turtleneck sweater paired with Chanel boots. Her family was very well off as her mother was a fashion magazine editor and her dad was a doctor who worked with Carlisle Cullen, Edward's father. My father was a very successful lawyer and my mother stayed at home, taking care of my two younger brothers.
We also saw Edward and Bella but they were talking quietly by her locker so we didn't have a chance to greet them. Bella was wearing her hair in tight curls that she draped over her left shoulder and was held together with a ponytail.
She looked really pretty in bright orange skinny jeans and a black, short-sleeved tunic that clung to her tiny frame and draped to her mid-thigh. She wore an expensive looking pair of artificially paint splattered Osiris's(shoes) which tied her eccentric, but still fashionable outfit together. Edward simply wore a thin black sweater that clung to him along with grey skinny jeans.
Unlike most guys, Edward's pants didn't squeeze the life out of his legs and he wore them in the proper place which was around his waist. But I could still see his blue plaid boxers peeking out of the top of his pants line. The jeans framed his lower half nicely and accented the strong muscle that lied beneath his skin. As I said before, if not for Emmett I would be ALL over him.

Okay, I'll end it there. Haha. Hoped you guys liked getting into Rosalie's head! Please review, I'd like at least… 8. Hope we can do it!
