CHAPTER 12

BELLA POV

I breezed through the rest of the day. There were no more hindrances to upset me. There wasn't even anymore drama with the Cullen's. However, people did still stare. When the final bell rang, indicating that the school day was now over, I left the building and went to the Cullen's who were standings by Edward's Volvo in the parking lot.

"Hey bestie!" Of course that was Alice speaking. I wish she knew how much I sooo, wasn't her bestie. "So we're going to drive to our house, and if you have a car you can just follow behind us. Do you need to go home first for anything, or can you come straight over?"

I shook my head as a no. The sooner we went to the Cullen's so I could hear more of their dirty little secrets, the better

"Okay then." Said Rosalie whilst tentatively smiling at me. "Let's go."

I made my way over to my car. My beautiful Bugatti. There was a chorus of gasps when the Cullen's realised the most expensive car in the lot was mine. I just smirked. I got into the driver's seat and turned on the engine. I nodded to Edward, who was staring at me in his rear view mirror, indicating to him that I was ready to leave. For someone who thought I was human, the speed that he was driving at was ridiculous. However, I easily matched his speed of 150mph.

About 15 minutes later we pulled up into a driveway which led to a huge mansion (a Cullen must) that was similar to the one back in Forks. This was definitely the work of Esme.

I got out of my car and met the Cullens at their front door. Rosalie, who was standing next to me turned and said, "I really love your car. It's amazing I wish I had one. Although I may not look like it, I'm crazy for cars. I would love to be a mechanic. Would it be possible for me to check out what's under your hood?" She asked with a pouting lip and pleading eyes.

"Of course, knock yourself out." I agreed and handed her the keys to my car. "However, if there is even a scratch on my baby, you're buying me a new one." I threatened. She practically agreed and ran to my car.

I then walked inside with the rest of the Cullen's. I followed them into the kitchen where we found Esme. What was she doing there? I know their diet is nothing other than blood. Maybe they were trying to put on a show. I remembered the Cullen's didn't know I knew them, so I had to pretend that I had never met Carlisle and Esme before.

"Hi, you must be Arabella Salvatore. My children can't stop talking about you. They've known you for less than a day, but it feels like it's been years. How are you, dear?"

The one thing I had always liked about Esme was that she was so caring. She didn't even need to know a person in order to act motherly towards them.

"Hello Mrs Cullen. It's a pleasure to meet you. Your children have been so kind, you have a lovely family."

"Call me Esme dear. Everybody does. Mrs Cullen makes me feel so old!"

"Okay, Esme." I smiled at her.

For the next couple of hours, everyone including Esme sat in the living room (how ironic since none of us were actually living human beings) and chatted. So far I have really taken a liking to Esme and Rosalie. But, I hated Alice with all my heart.

A few seconds later I heard a car pull into the driveway, I didn't say anything because they still thought I was human.

"Ah, I think my husband might be back home. His name is Carlisle."


"Who's car is that in the driveway. Rosalie, I hope you haven't bought a new car. You have more than enough." Carlisle walked through the front door, he hadn't yet noticed me. I was surprised, weren't they supposed to be able to pick up a new scent like the snap of a finger. For Vampires, the Cullen's are really slow.

He sat down next to Esme. "Oh hello. I didn't see you there." You think? "Are you one of my children's friends? I haven't seen you before."

"Yes, Mr Cullen. I guess you could say I am your daughter Alices, friend. She took a liking to me quite quickly. She invited me here so that I could meet Esme and yourself. I'm guessing she wanted you to approve of me."

"Well, I approve. Any friend of our children's is a friend of ours, more like family actually. Oh and Arabella, please, call me Carlisle."

"Okay Carlisle." I grinned.

I had decided that I had spent enough time for today with the Cullen's. The sleepover will just have to be planned for another day.

"I'm so sorry everyone, but I just got a text from one of my brothers. They need me home. It's a family emergency."

Though they were sad to see me go, the Cullen's agreed that I should leave. I had been here a while. When I was preparing myself to leave, I noticed Edward giving me some of his creepy glances. Pervert!

As I made my way home, I became lost in my thoughts of the Cullens. Seeing them all again wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. I did still hate a few of them, but for Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett we can make an exception. Neither of them wronged me when I was posing as 'Isabella Swan.' I couldn't wait to hurt the rest of them like they tried to hurt me. Oh what a lovely year this is going to be.
