A/N: 'THOUGHTS'
Throughout Trig and Spanish class, I acting the same disappointed and ashamed. Disappointed because I truly that Jasper will not speak to me again. Not only have I disrespected him but also Alice and Rosalie. I really didn't mean to harm him or cause them to all become alert. I feel ashamed because I felt afraid of him even knowing the struggles he goes through every day. And throughout the two classes, Bella tried asking me what was wrong with me. But I just sadly smile and shook my head, saying I didn't want to talk about it. She understood and let it alone,... for now.
After Spanish class, it was time for lunch and Jessica told us to follow her to the cafeteria. When we got our food we once again followed Jessica like some lost little ducks. Jessica lead us to some empty table and we all sat down. A few seconds later Mike joins our table and he sat next to me. He smoothly turns to us with a very dashing smile. I knew it was him because everyone looks like they did in the movies.
"Well hello, ladies. Jessica, who are your new friends?" Mike asked not even looking at Jessica.
"This is Annie and Bella Swan," she said. I turn to her and she had this jealous look. I turn back to look at Mike and he staring at Bella.
"Names Mike. I am friends with Jessica. So we're also friends" Mike said. And just like what we did with Eric, Bella and I turn to each other wondering the same. 'Is he for reals?' Before we had a chance to speak, Eric suddenly appears and squishes into a seat next to Bella and Mike. Eric puts his arm around Bella and turns to Mike.
"Yo Mike, you met my homegirls Bella and Annie," Eric said with a cheesy smile. Mike's smile fell a little and he cleared his throat.
"Oh, you're homegirls?" Mike asked. And just before Eric could say anything the same African-American boy from the morning came and kissed Bella's cheek.
"Nah my girl," he said pulling Mike's chair out. Eric laughed as Mike fell to the ground and the boy ran away. When Mike got up he ran towards the boy. Jessica turns to Bella and me.
"It's first grade all over again, and you guys are the shiny new toys," Jessica said annoyed.
"Well, we are new. What you expect?" I asked. Jessica gave me a bitch look before looking down at her tray. Bella smiles at me and shook her head. Suddenly, a flashbulb blinds me and I am pretty sure the others as well. I look up at the one who took the photo and there was sweet Angela smiling at us.
"Sorry about that. Needed a candid for the feature" Angela said sitting down next to Jessica. Bella was going to decline and tell her that she didn't want to be in it but Eric beat her to it.
"Feature's dead, Angela, don't bring it up" he turns to Bella.
"I got your back," he said before leaving our table.
Okay, that was rude and well that was Eric, I guess. Angela's smile fell and dropped her camera down looking disappointed.
"Guess we'll just run another editorial on teen drinking," Angela said disappointedly.
"Sorry. There's always eating disorders or speedo padding on the swim team" Bella suggested.
"Wait, that's a good one," Angela said. I watched as Jessica and Angela talked about who could be in the new feature. They were so getting into it and honestly I was too. Well until Bella nudge my side causing me to turn to her. However, she wasn't looking at me but on the other side. I turn to her direction and now I understand. She was staring at the four most astounding people we have ever seen, the Cullens. And just like in the movies, they all walked in the cafeteria in slow motion as though tell the others, look at me I'm devastatingly beautiful and you're not.
They all moved through the room with absolute effortless grace. And unlike in the movies, the girls took a seat at a table far away from us. The boys went to the line and grabbed some tray of food. It was funny to watch them get trays like a normal person. When they approached the line suddenly it spread wide opened for them to get in. As they were heading back to their table Jasper briefly turn to me which made me turn away real quick. I didn't want him to think I was some kind of creep.
"Who are they?" I heard Bella ask.
I knew what was about to happen and I wasn't really paying attention. Jessica was gonna go into full-on gossip mode and spilled all the juicy gossip about the Cullens. She going to explain to Bella who they are and give her some few 'tips'. I looked down at my tray and played around with my apple. I felt like someone was staring at me so I looked up and saw that Jasper was staring at me. I send him a small smile and looked right back down. Few minutes passed by and I still felt like someone was staring at me. A few seconds later Bella nudge me again. I looked up at her and she nods her head towards their table.
What the hell, when did he get here? I thought to myself. I saw Edward staring at Bella confused. 'Is he trying to read her mind?' i thought. And suddenly Edward quickly turns to me with eyes wide. Holy shit he could read my mind?!
Edward must have whispered something because now the Cullens were all staring at me. Omg, I gotta do something. What that can't be true. No one can read minds that impossible... right? I mean no one has that power to read others minds. Unless... Wait, it is possible!" I saw him stiff a little. It's possible because im doing it right now. I'm just reading my mind.
He must have said something because Edward relaxes and so does the others. Wait no, everyone can do that. But wouldn't it be cool to read someone else mind? I mean I wonder what it feels like reading someone else's mind. how do you even know you're reading someone's mind? Does it sound like white noise or what? Omgs, imagine reading all their dirty thoughts. Mmm, I wonder what everyone in this room is thinking about? I thought, looking around the room. Well for starters I am positive that the girls are probably thinking about screwing the Cullen's boys or about make-up. I see Edward crack a smile.
Eww, imagine seeing someone else's fantasy about you. That's so fucken gross. Seeing what they want you to do to them., EEWW. Having a full image of you talking dirty to them, having you grind on them, having front roll seat on their action.. I see Edward nose crunch up in disgust. I laugh silently. I don't think I can have the balls to stay quiet. I believe I would full-blown laugh right there and then. And probably make myself look like a freak laughing out loud at nothing.
Once again I felt someone nudged my side. I turn to Bella and she was staring at me confused and amused.
"What?" I asked.
"What you mean what? You were laughing" she said.
"I was laughing?" I asked and she nods. I turn to look at Edward who had a smirk on his face. Fuck, I wasn't laughing silently. I turn back to Bella and smile.
"Just thinking,"I said and she raised her thin eyebrow at me.
"Do I want to know?" she asked slowly.
"No, no you do not," I said smiling at her.
The bell rang making us get up. Before I left the cafeteria with Bella and the others I turn to the Cullen's table. Edward was staring at me with a smirk and the others were all smiling at me. Yeah, it'll be cool to read someone's mind. I thought as Edward smiles at me.
During Chemistry, Rosalie and Emmett sat across the room from me. I sat next to some boy named Jake. He was pretty cute, about 5'9, hazel eyes, dark brown hair and pale skin. Throughout the class, Jake and I were talking and having fun. I would often glance at Rosalie and Emmett's table and they were glaring at Jake. I didn't know what that was about but hey, whatever. In gym class, Bella accidentally hit Mike on the head. I thought it was funny but apparently, Jessica and Bella didn't.
After class, Bella and I went to the main office. Bella wasn't acting like her self. I asked her what was wrong but she didn't say anything. I already knew what happened since she had Edward for Biology and we all what went down. Edward finally smelled Bella's blood and he wants it but he can't have it without killing her and the whole classroom.
We entered the admission office and saw Edward trying to change his class. And just like in the movies, Edward gave Bella a hate-full glare. Bella moved behind me and I glared right back at Edward, Dick.
"I'll just... endure it," Edward said through gritted teeth.
He left the office and bumped into me. What the fuck? I thought. Bella quickly hands her slip to the lady in front and left the room. I gave my slip to her and followed Bella out. As we walked out to the front yard many people were staring at us, making Bella hurry. I turn to look at Edward who was with his family staring at us. Once again I glared at him. Asshole, I thought and Edward turn away. Once Bella and I got in the truck starts the engine and took a deep breath, her eyes well but she fights it, and she getting mad.
"Jerk," she said as she drives off.
After school Bella aId i went to meet our father at the local coffee shop. The waitress Cora and Waylon came and greeted us. We talked some and when they left Cora brought out our food. Bella turned to dad as I bite into my double cheese bacon avocado burger.
"So... you eat here every night?" Bella asked.
"Easier than washing dishes" dad said.
"I, um, can cook," Bella said. Dad looked at her, confused. Wondering whats happening.
"I do the cooking at home, well in Phoenix.- Mom's not so great in the kitche" Bella states.
"Yeah, I remember," Dad said. Bella and he both laughed, probably recalling a memory where Rene messed up dinner. While they were both sharing a sweet moment, I was sharing a delicious moment with my amazing burger.
"And I can bake," I said looking at them. Dad smiles and Bella rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, but you bake for 50 people," Bella said
"What? I like baking, it's fun and I like eating desserts" I said biting into my burger.
"And I still wonder how you don't gain any weight," Bella said.
"Beats me,"I said shrugging my shoulder and biting into my burger.
"So girls how was school? Meet anyone?" dad asked. Bella and I shared a look and dad narrowed his eyes. Bella looks back at dad and nods.
"A few people," I said.
"... Do you know the Cullen family?" Bella asked and dad looks up sharply.
"Are people talking about them again?" he asked seriously. Bella and I shared another look.
"Umm, no.?" Bella questioned.
"Well, sorta,"I said. Dad deeply sighs and drops his fork.
"Just 'cause they're newcomers, don't mean that we can just talk about them. We're lucky to have a surgeon like Dr. Cullen at our podunk hospital. Lucky his wife wanted to live in a small town. And lucky for me his kids aren't like a lot of hell raisers around here" dad said.
"... okay" Bella slowly said
"You really like them,"I asked. Dad looks up and nods at me.
"Yeah, I do. And besides, I don't like narrow-mindedness" he said.
With that, he returns to his food and silence falls. I turn to look at Bella, silently asked 'what just happened?' Shaking her head she returns to her food. And since everyone returned to their foods and didn't talk I did the same. After dinner, Bella and I went back home. Dad was called to the station again.
I was up in my attic room when I heard Bella called out to me. I climbed down the stairs and went to her room. She passed her cell phone to me.
"Hello?" I said.
"Babygirl, how are you?" mother asked.
"Hiya momma, I am good and you?" I asked smiling.
"Bad darling-"
"What why? what happened?" I asked getting worried.
"Mom lost her power cord... again," Bella said doing her trig homework. I laugh and I heard mom groan.
"I didn't lose it okay. It ran away" mother said making Bella roll her eyes.
"Anyways, tell me more about your school, girls. What are the kids like? Are there any cute guys, Annie? Are they being nice?" mother asked and Bella sighs.
"They've all been really... welcoming, " Bella said lying. She pushes her homework away, getting mad at Edward again.
"Hey, whats the matter? Annie, are you protecting your little sister?" mother asked,
"By two minutes," Bella said but we ignored her comment.
"Momma you know I am. But since we're new, some people don't know us and they don't know how to act around us" I started saying and Bella gave me the 'are you for reals' look.
"But don't worry they'll warm up to us," I said looking at Bella.
Bella rolled her eyes and continued to do her homework but I continued to talk to my mother. Eventually, I had to click so I can get started on my homework. Bella and I told our mother goodbye and goodnight. We both promised to text each other when she got her a new power cord. I turn to Bella and she points her finger at me.e
"Don't say a word!" she said, making me sigh.
"Fine but when you're ready to talk about it you know where to find me baby sis," I said leaving her room.
"You're older by two minutes" she screamed out and I smiled.
"And don't forget"I screamed back.
