Butterfly Kisses was playing in the gym when they got in
"Could I have this dance?" Edward asked as soon as we got inside.
"That depends," I said humorously "On…?" "Weather or not I will be the one you have this dance with." He laughed and smiled. "Of course with you. Who else? Jessica? Yeah right, not tonight. I would much rather take my chances with someone I have to dance for than with someone I barely know."
"Alright, as long as you promise not to let go of me. Even if Jacob comes in telling me not to graduate high school, because there are evil pixies attacking Forks High Graduates." I laughed and he followed soon after.
Soon after the dance was done, it was time for the ceremony. The teachers and principal made their final announcements, and then it was time. They called people in alphabetical order by their first names…which was really quite odd. They called Angela first. Then some girl named Anna, and some more people I knew, just wasn't well acquainted with. My name was 14th to be called. People stared at me and I tripped up the three stairs. It felt awkward being on stage in front of so many faces. There were people there I didn't know. People from different schools I guessed. They must be other people's dates. Jasper was also there. With Alice, of course.
As soon as I walked off the stage, Edward came to calm me down. I didn't even notice that I was hyperventilating.
"I told you I don't like crowds," I mentioned this to him every time he wanted to go out somewhere with a dance floor and he wanted to dance. "I guess graduating wasn't such a good idea after all."
"Does that mean you are going to stay here? In Forks high?" He asked. I knew exactly what he was getting at.
"Oh no buddy, I am coming with you and the rest of your family after tonight." He looked disappointed once again. I really don't think he was having that good of a time tonight. He tried to dazzle me, I could tell. I was not going to fall for that one again. "And that's why…" I mumbled.
He obviously heard, "What, you want people to be attached to you when you are as dangerous as me? You want to be a monster like me? Like in your dreams? I don't want that for you Bella…it's not right. I wish you would wait before the change.
"Edward A.M Cullen,"
"I will be right back, go stand with Alice and Jasper." He kissed me on the cheek and then walked onto the stage.
Just then, everyone looked over at the back of the gym. Tyler was running to the front yelling "EDWARD! I AM GOING TO GET YOU! SHE WAS MINE!" we all started to laugh.
"Well, I didn't see that one coming," Alice said with a smirk on her face, I looked at the evil little smirk and laughed harder, "Or maybe I did and just didn't want to tell you."
