Since it's been so long I thought I should review… Alice had a vision of Edward leaving Edward for another human girl, this girl is Evelyn. Evelyn goes to their school now and Edward is annoyed and terrified by Alice's prediction. Bella has no idea what's going on. Left off with Edward leaving lunch for science, the only class that he doesn't have with Bella.
I do not own Twilight or New Moon or any of the characters (except the hated Evelyn) because Stephenie Meyer does.
CHAPTER 7
The hallway was eerily empty, which suited my brooding mood just fine. That Evelyn character did not register in my mind as harmless; she had an odd aurora around her that gave me an uneasy feeling whenever she drew near, and on top of that her blood had an unearthly smell that made me queasy just at the thought of it.
I listened to my echoing footsteps hoping that the annoying noise might help me rid myself of my boiling anger. I came to a halt outside the classroom door, taking a deep breath to calm myself never really helped, but out of habit I still tried.
I entered the classroom taking my seat behind the table in the center of the room. I lay my head on the table, already bored. I heard the door open, and the tantalizing smell that had been running through my mind all during lunch, entered the room.
And a sense of dejvu swept over me as she took a seat in the chair next to me, the only available chair in the crowed room. I could feel my eyes growing steadily darker; this was not a day to test my temper.
I edged the chair away from her, clinging to the far edge of the table. I needed to get as far away from her as possible. In a strange sense this seemed normal, as if I had always known this would happen.
This class would be exactly as Bella's first day had been, minus the stalking scene and the insatiable hunger.
" Your Edward Cullen, right?" she asked slowly. Her voice seemed eerily familiar, as if it had once run freely through my mind.
"Yes."
"I'm Evelyn. Your brother, he is your brother isn't he? Well, he almost hit my father's car with a rocket."
I nodded, careful to keep a smile poised on my face. "I'm so sorry about that. Emmett's a real practical joker, he's just not very careful."
She returned my smile. " Oh, it's nothing. No one was hurt so there's no need to hold a grudge.
"Right." I wasn't sure if that would be my choice of action, but then again I was indestructible and had no need to worry about danger. And the fact that Emmett looked as menacing as he did might have helped her decision.
She turned her head back toward the front of the room. Just as I, she seemed to be only pretending to learn. Something in the back of head was telling me that this was not right. That this shouldn't be happening again. But why again? I had never met her before, or had I?
She turned her gaze toward me again, increasing the number of questions that were now running through my mind. Just like Bella, she seemed not to notice the strange feeling of foreboding like most humans did around us.
"Ugh." This girl was really getting on my nerves.
"What's wrong?" I froze in my seat. It wasn't possible for her to hear me. I had made sure to mutter it quietly enough for my voice to go unheard.
" This class is just so boring. You never learn anything." I replied cautiously.
" That's the feeling I'm getting from all my classes today." She smiled, nodding in agreement.
I found it quite odd that she was so easy to talk to; most found my opinions opposite to theirs.
" Was it like this at your old school?" she paused for a moment, seemingly surprised that I had asked her a question.
"Yes, it's always been like this. Well, it's almost always been like this." I didn't question her further; she seemed reluctant to talk about this subject.
The bell rang, taking me by surprise. For once this class had passed quite quickly. I glanced over at Evelyn. She was slightly bent forward, reaching for her bag.
She straightened herself quickly, and strode toward the exit. She paused at the doorway, turning in my direction.
"See you tomorrow, Edward." With a final smile she twirled around and fled through the door.
I stayed seated, staring at the wall, utterly dumbstruck.
Bella's PoV
I didn't understand what was making Edward so nervous, he had never acted like this before. The only good thing about not having art with Edward was that Alice, who in fact was an excellent artist, substituted for him.
This morning I had noticed that Alice had seemed a little jittery this morning, and had had an angry disposition toward Edward. I suspected that Alice had told Edward of a vision, a vision that he had no wish to hear about.
When I entered the classroom I was met by a surprise. Almost no one was present; for once I was not late, but in fact extremely early.
I trudged slowly to my seat in the back of the classroom. At least I would have a chance to talk with Alice without worrying about Edward overhearing.
"Hi, Bella." My head snapped around toward the sound of Alice's voice. As usual her quiet nature had avoided my senses.
"Hi, Alice," I replied meekly, trying to steady the rhythm of my misbehaving heart. She spoke not another word, and as I watched her, her attitude turned sober.
"Alice?"
"Yes, Bella." Her harsh tone inflicted a slight pain to my attitude.
"Never mind," I muttered, there was no use talking her in this mood, it would just cause more trouble.
"Come on, Bella. Tell me." Her voice had softened, but the hardness still clung to the edges. I could tell she was making a huge effort.
Timidly, I spoke up. "I was wondering if you had anything to do with Edward's bad mood, but from your attitude I can tell it was…" I really hopped this wouldn't trigger her temper.
"Oh." She seemed ashamed of herself now that she understood. "Yes, it's my fault. I saw something that he didn't like."
"Alice, what did you see?"
"I don't think I can tell you. Not only would Edward kill me, but it could also be what caused the –" She paused mid sentence, seeming to realize who she was talking to. "Never mind, I can't say anything more."
I let the silence linger, her words had echoed with such sincerity that I had to. For the rest of class neither of us spoke. There seemed to be an unspoken treaty between; we were not to bring this subject to light again.
When the bell rang, a sense of relief washed over me; a feeling of relief that was soon fleeing as I realized that instead of an silent Alice I would have a silent and hard tempered Edward. I couldn't decide which was worse.
I stood walking to the door. Well I guess I'll just have to wait and see, and with a sigh walked through the door and into the rushing mass of students.
AN: okay I know this chapter short just like all my other ones, but if your lucky I might have a chance to update again later today. I write faster if I get reviews just like everybody else, so please review if you want the next chapter out in a few hours. And sorry about any typos I wrote this kind of fast just so I could get it out to all of you who have been asking me if I'm ever going to update.
