In my lifetime so far, a lot of things have changed. Such as my likes and dislikes. For example, to like a type of food one day and then hating it later on. My taste in sports and video games have changed also. Though there has always been a constant dislike that would never change, school. I always hated school, even in my other world I hated school. Which led to me sitting in agony in my Calculus class. Probably my least favorite subject was math. I was passing the class but I always found the subject matter boring. I kept my eyes on the clock as the teacher droned on and on. As soon as the bell rang, I was already grabbing my bag and racing out of the classroom. I was soon in the hallway pushing my way through the crowd to get to the lunchroom.
I walk into the cafeteria to already find Bella, Edward, and Alice sitting with Bella's friends. I let out a breath. I never disliked Jessica or anybody really but it was awkward to talk to them. We never interacted with anyone until Bella arrived. I walk over to them and sit in between Edward and Alice. Emmett and Rosalie graduated last year and the story was that Jasper graduated early while we were away. So it was just me, Edward, and Alice at Forks High School. Nobody knew about Alex just yet. Alex was technically 19 and he looked like he could be a freshman or sophomore in college. So he decided to not attend Forks High to prevent unwanted attention. Not to mention it would cause everyone to talk. A new member to the Cullen family. Me and Alex weren't dating yet but my family could tell it was only a matter of time. The both of us grew closer once we got back from Italy. I think the fact that he went back to protect me made me start to trust him more. I didn't want to rush into anything just yet and Alex respected my decision which I was grateful for. Though, we were always around each other. As soon as I got home from school he was in the house waiting for me. He was always the first person that I would see when I walked into the house.
"Hey Soph." I smile and look at Edward.
"Hey."
"How was Calculus?" I give him my best hard stare. He knew how much I hated that class.
"Boring as always."
"Well at least your passing it." I look across the table to look at Mike. I give him a small smile.
"It does help to have siblings that have taken the class before."
"I still can't understand how none of you made valedictorian. All of you are the smartest people in the school," replies Mike while looking at me, Edward, and Alice.
"Thanks dude, I appreciate the support," interjects Eric. Mike instantly goes red and tries to cover his slip-up. I just let out a chuckle while my siblings smile. We could have made valedictorian but we didn't want the attention. It was really easy to put wrong answers on tests in order for someone else to become valedictorian.
I start to tune everyone out while I start to eat my lunch. Bella volunteered to help Angela write her graduation letters to family and friends. I knew Charlie would be happy for Bella to spend more time with her other friends. He liked me and Alice but I knew how much he disliked Edward. Charlie preferred Jacob and I knew it was only a matter of time before Bella would be talking to him again. Despite Edward's best efforts to prevent Bella from seeing him, it wouldn't work. She would find a way to see him and vice versa.
I'm taken out of my thoughts when Alice decides to say something that causes everyone to stop what they are doing. "I've decided to throw a graduation party for everyone."
I stare at her before looking at everyone else. Jessica, Mike, Eric, and Angela all looked shocked.
"Like at your house?"
"I've never seen your house before," says Jessica.
"No one has seen their house before," replies Eric.
"Another party Alice?" Edward does not look thrilled about the idea. I can't really blame him. The last party didn't exactly end too well.
"Oh come on. It will be fun."
"That's what you said the last time," replies Bella. She didn't seem happy about the idea either. I know the memory of us leaving still bothered her.
I sigh. "Alice..." I look at Alice only to stop what I am about to say. Alice is staring off into space. She is no doubt having a vision. Edward looks at her surprised about what she is seeing. I knew what her vision was. Victoria was coming to Forks soon to try to kill Bella.
I turn to everyone and start to talk to Mike and Jessica while Bella talked to Angela. The both of us were trying to make sure that they didn't notice Alice spacing out and our efforts seemed to work. I glanced at Edward and Alice and they were both having a staring contest.
I knew that Edward was planning on taking Bella to Jacksonville in order to get her out of town. This led me to one thought. We would have to contact the wolves about Victoria coming back. Before long, it was time to go back to class.
The rest of the day went by at an agonizing slow pace. The whole rest of the day I spent worrying about Victoria. I couldn't concentrate on anything else. Victoria coming back and her newborn army was going to cause whole bunch of problems for all of us. Once the final bell rang, I grabbed my bag and walked outside. Once I walked outside I looked around me until I found my siblings already standing by Edward's car. Alice and Edward where talking to each other and I didn't miss the sideways glances that they were sending Bella's way. It was pretty obvious to me what they were talking about. I started to walk towards them when two figures appeared in front of me.
"Hey Sophie." I look at Mike and Eric confusingly.
"Hi guys. Can I help you?"
"Yeah actually we wanted to ask you a question."
"Ok?" I already had an idea about what they wanted to ask me. I didn't miss the looks that they would send my way. I was already dreading what was about to happen.
"Well we know that your sister is throwing a graduation party. We thought that maybe..." Before they could finish their sentence, an engine interrupted them. A loud engine revved up and soon a red corvette pulled in front of the school. I knew immediately who the driver was.
His blonde hair was perfectly in place as he came to a stop in front of me. Mike and Eric took a step back and stared at the mystery driver. Everyone in the parking lot stopped to stare at the driver. I looked to see Alice and Edward both had a smirk on their faces.
"Hey, need a ride?" I look at Alex and give him a smile. I quickly look at Eric and Mike and said goodbye. They just raised their hands to wave goodbye as they stared at me as I walked to Alex.
I open the car door and get inside. Alex brushes my brown hair out of my face and drapes his arm over my shoulders. He then gives Eric and Mike a big smile. He's clearly telling them to back off.
"What are you doing here?" Alex turns his head to me and smiles.
"Alice might have called me and said you needed some help after school. So being the gentleman I am, I decided to come help." I raised my eyebrows.
"You being a gentleman? Since when? Thank you by the way. I was dreading about what to tell them. It looks like the whole school is wondering who you are."
Alex glanced around us and noticed everyone staring. Jessica was practically drooling at the sight of Alex. He smirked and turned to me. "What can I say, all the ladies love me." I let out a snort.
"Yes your acting like a true gentleman." Alex smiled and leaned over to kiss my cheek. I instantly went red at the feeling of his lips on my skin. I looked around and could practically feel all of the stares coming my way. No doubt word about this encounter would go around the school like wildfire.
"Come on, I'll take you home." I stared at him and nodded. I put my seat belt on just as he started to pull out of the school's parking lot.
"Was that really necessary?"
"What, I can't let some guy talk to you so freely. They need to know when someone is taken." I looked at him not amused.
"Who said I was taken? We aren't anything. We are not dating or are we lovers."
Alex then started laughing. "No we aren't. Not yet at least."
I just smiled at him. There were plenty of comebacks that I could say to him but I didn't want to. Even I could sense the changes that were happening between us. We soon arrived back to the house. Alice and Edward arrived soon after.
I looked at Alice as we were heading into the house. "So you called him?" Alice gave me a smile.
"You are thanking me. Even without my vision I could tell how uncomfortable you were feeling."
"Thanks Alice. Though I know that Alex is now the talk at school."
"You have no idea." I turn to look at Edward with my eyebrows raised. "The guys were wondering who he was and how he managed to get you and not them. Some of the girls are curious while others are jealous and want to make out with him. A bunch of them are already planning on ambushing you tomorrow to find out who he is."
I let out a groan. Great, more unwanted attention that I didn't want or need. I walk into the living room and see Emmett, Jasper, and Carlisle all looking at the television.
"What's going on?" I look at the tv to see what they were watching. On the television was a news reporter talking about the disappearances of people in Seattle. She started talking about a serial killer being on the loose.
I grew quiet and looked at everyone. Everyone's faces looked grim as they watched the news report. They already knew what was really going on. It wasn't a serial killer exactly. There were vampires causing a scene in Seattle. But what they didn't know was that Victoria is behind the whole thing. Which gives me a question that I keep asking myself. Should I tell them everything?
So I'm finally in Eclipse. I hope that you liked the chapter. What do you think about Sophie and Alex? I am planning on them being together but I didn't want Sophie to go into a relationship just because Aro said they are mates. Sophie is still the same Sophie as before. She is just slowly falling for Alex. More things are about to come Sophie's way. Until next time!
