Here is another chapter, I own nothing about Twilight. Please review.
This was a first, Bella stood next to a handsome guy who smiled right at me as I made my way to them, Theo walked with me his own hand touched my back as I chuckled. "Still not Bella, my feet stay on the ground," he also laughed making Bella melt, her face turned from stern to mush.
She introduced us, "Caprice this is Tyler, Tyler my cousin, Caprice,"
He nearly crushed her in the death van, if not for Theo she would have died now anger seeps in into every vein. With power my fist fly's into his face, there is now blood on my knuckles and a bruise already forming on the upper part of his right eye. "You nearly crushed my cousin with your van," seething as the Silver Volvo of doom pulled in and Rosalie and Alice hurried over.
I stood over him, "Lucky a fist is all you're getting,"
Bella gave me a look, "Temper,"
The day was normal, or normal now but at lunch, I take my tray sitting with Bella and Theo who are at the table with the rest. The only seat was next to Edward, "Sorry, I'm late. Rosalie, I am thinking a midnight blue but want to add some flare to it, make it shimmer,"
Her face thoughtful, "Agreed,"
Alice gave us a look, so I add. "Alice, can you do the interior on the cab?"
She bounced, "Yes!" a bubbly melody voice. "It will be perfect and much safer for Bella," she finished.
Poor Bella, but I knew she was happy with the truck and knew it needed some work and with us three girls it is safe and a literal beast. Picking up the slice of pizza up making eye contact with Emmett who looked ill if a vampire could, he looked away as I snorted. "Pansy," his eyes snapped back to mine as he picked up his own food, but Rosalie smacked it down.
"No, you had to vomit for an entire night to get that garbage out. Caprice, please,"
"Fine,"
Edward was smiling, and it made my heart flutter before I could control it.
I put the Snapple lid on the table taking a swig, the cap vanished I scan the floor until I just drink the rest. Now as we arrived in class together, his chair was angled toward me.
Mr. Banner started class at that moment. I tried to concentrate as he explained the lab we would be doing today. The slides in the box were out of order. Working as lab partners, we had to separate the slides of onion root tip cells into the phases of mitosis they represented and label them accordingly. We weren't supposed to use our books. In twenty minutes, he would be coming around to see who had it right.
"Get started," he commanded.
"Way to easy," muttered under my breath, everything about these classes is easy.
Edward chuckled.
"Ladies first, partner?" Edward asked. I looked up to see him smiling a crooked smile so beautiful that I only stared at him like an idiot.
"Or I could start if you wish." The smile faded; he was obviously wondering if I was mentally competent, and right now I wasn't.
"I can go, no problem,"
I was showing off, just a little. I'd already done this lab, and I knew what I was looking for. It would be easy. I snapped the first slide into place under the microscope and adjusted it quickly to the 40X objective. I studied the slide briefly.
My assessment was confident. "Prophase."
He gave it a once over coming to the very same conclusion.
He swiftly switched out the first slide for the second, and then glanced at it cursorily.
"Anaphase," he murmured, writing it down as he spoke.
I kept my voice indifferent. "May I?"
He smirked and pushed the microscope to me, he was right, but I gathered he was. "Seems we both know this,"
We traded slides marking them down each time, we finished even before Theo and Bella who every so often made these eyes at each other. Mr. Banner came to our table then, to see why we weren't working. He looked over our shoulders to
glance at the completed lab, and then stared more intently to check the answers.
"So, Edward, didn't you think Caprice should get a chance with the microscope?" Mr. Banner asked.
"Actually, she identified three of the five."
Mr. Banner looked at me now; his expression was skeptical.
"Have you done this lab before?" he asked.
I smiled knowingly. "Not with onion root."
"Whitefish blastula?"
"Yeah."
Mr. Banner nodded. "Were you in an advanced placement program in Greece?"
"That's very correct,"
"Well," he said after a moment, "I guess it's good you two are lab partners." He mumbled something else as he walked away, it sounded rude and took it as rude.
He asked, "You came from Greece?"
"I did, I studied overseas since I was six,"
He looked surprised.
"You live with your father?"
I paused for a long moment, and then made the mistake of meeting his gaze. His dark gold eyes confused me, and I answered without thinking. "I do, and you ran off to where?"
"Alaska," he hated to tell that, but he did. Mr. Banner called the class to order then I tried to appear attentive as Mr. Banner illustrated, with transparencies on the overhead projector, what I had seen without difficulty through the microscope. But my thoughts were unmanageable.
The gym was fine for me, Mike was a casualty of Bella. The rain was just a mist as we walked to the parking lot, Theo was everything Bella needed and in turn, she was everything to him it would all work out for her.
I noted Edward was leaning against the front door of the Volvo, three cars down from me, and staring intently in my direction as we walked in his general direction. "Theo guesses you are riding with us," Emmett smiled eyeing my Mustang, Rosalie and Alice are there waiting for me.
I offered, "How about you come to hang at my place, let Bella ride with Theo. That is if Edward wouldn't mind bringing her to my house,"
Bella gave me a smile of appreciation, "I of course will,"
Like that Emmett bounded to Rose as I climbed in, "Let's go," hitting reverse to pull out right in front of Edward, but with his reflexes, she was as safe as safe could be. The road flew beneath my tires as I left the school behind, it was a normal gloomy day in Forks as the rain-slick roads passed us by. "Too bad," Alice chimed in looking over her shoulder.
I snapped, "Fuck," the blue and red lights started flashing as two cops pulled me over, one in front and one in back. "My Uncle,"
I slammed the break taking to the right side of the road, skidding into park.
"Oh, he doesn't look happy," Emmett was going to pay one day. "Rose, you're my besties like Alice and Bella, you going to let him annoy me?" smiling as she narrowed her eyes at him, if wanted I could hear them but with Alice and Jasper everything had to be kept hidden. A small tap on the driver's side window had me looking, "Hi, Uncle Charlie. You know the Cullens, ya know we are on our way to my place, did Bells tell you Rosalie and I are working on her truck with Alice working on the interior?" trying to pour on the charm, he was my only uncle.
He sighed, "Doing eighty-nine in a thirty-five, Caprice," his tone stern.
I gave him a look, "I honestly had no idea, I am so used to the higher speeding limits where my dad sent me,"
Knowing he hated my dad for it, "This is your only warning, get home a storm is coming,"
"Yes, Uncle. Drive safe there are horrible drivers roaming,"
He gave me such a look, "Glad to have you home again, baby girl," he was never a man of emotion.
He turned when I hit reverse faster than possible, nearly hitting the fender of the patrol car behind me before slamming into drive and taking off. "Sorry," but was I really. Taking the long road to the iron gates but instead of parking it in the single building I used for her, I parked in the normal garage. Mine was taken by Bella's truck, Rosalie was out with me as I just pointed to my room. "Have to change,"
Black cropped pants and a cropped white tank top with old greased up sneakers on my feet. I was ready to have fun and get dirty as I walked in seeing them talking, Alice was in some far-off place. "What is shorty seeing now?" I questioned pulling my hair up into a bun, she shook her head and smile.
She handed me an air ratchet, "Thanks,"
I just got to work with Rose as Alice spoke again, my fingers covered in muck from the undercarriage. "Okay how about a nice creamy beige leather with a dark blue trim?"
Rose smiled, and even with grease on her she looked hot, "Yes,"
I echoed, looking like a wreck. "Yuppers,"
I wanted a smoke but knew they be all huffy about it, "Can you please order those parts, have it express,"
"Done," was said right after.
Emmett vanished into my house and that worried me, but in no way did I think he be going through my things. But I had some pictures up that might need to be explained. And I wasn't disappointed either, I heard him in my room and then he might have jumped through my window because he was coming our way.
Rose gave me a look, "You've been to Volterra?"
"Yes, nice place during the day at night it was creepy. I bet you've been too,"
Alice answered for her, "No, we stay away from there and so should you,"
"If you say so,"
Like that it was dropped until Alice jumped up, "They've arrived," I rather hide under the truck but like that Emmett takes my ankle and gives a tiny tug nearly slinging me across the room, lucky he held on and nothing broke as Theo and Edward rushed in looking angry.
I laughed, "That was fun," my own laughter ringing.
Theo helped me to my feet, "I am so sorry, I thought that was gentle to you,"
"Don't worry about it, I am fine, and it was cool,"
Rose touched his shoulder, "We will see you in the morning, sleep well, Caprice,"
I gave Theo and Edward a look, "My cousin?"
"At home," Theo answered.
I shake my head, "Yeah," Edward smiled looking at me. "Are you alone?"
"No, as you see," gesturing to Theo and Alice.
"My apologies, I meant alone as in your parents?"
I answered cleaning up, "My dad is most likely at work, and my mother died the day I graced this world," it still hurt, hurt she died due to me.
He looked solemn once again, Theo put his arm over my shoulder. "Bella told me, I am sorry for your loss but blaming yourself is wrong,"
