Another move, after a few years in Alaska. Less time than we may normally spend in one place, but it seems Tanya has a crush on Edward; one he certainly doesn't reciprocate. Of course. I mean, if I don't get to him, Tanya certainly wouldn't.

I earn a sigh and an eye roll for that thought.

Our latest destination; Forks. We've been there once before - it is a nightmare of a place to live. No nightlife, constant rain. I suppose I should be thankful for the fact that we can leave the house without drawing any attention, other than what I normally would, but I worry about what it will do to my hair.

I can't complain about the living conditions; our Forks home is one of the nicest, with huge windows that let the light in, far enough away from anyone that we can actually enjoy it. Right on the edge of woods teeming with animal life. But still, it's Forks. What could happen of any interest there?

Nothing. Nothing for two years. Of course, all the boys admire me, as well they should, and all the girls hate me, that's also expected. The big surprise comes mid semester. The new girl. For once the whole school buzzes about someone other than us, well, me in particular; I can't stand it. I like knowing all the children here want me or wish they were me, even though I give them zero encouragement. But now...I listen carefully to the voices around me. Most of the seniors' interest dies out fairly quickly, especially when I make the concerted effort to smile at a few of the guys in my classes. The juniors however are a different story. I'll deal with them later. I sit at the table with my other siblings, marveling at the fact that all the other girls in this school need to cake on the make up and flirt outrageously to get attention, when all I have to do is look at someone, and they're mine. If I want them. I catch sight of my self in the reflection off someone's glasses Yep, Perfection. Edward rolls his eyes.

Hey, if you don't want to know, don't listen.

I run one hand playfully over Emmett's brawn. I can tell he is distracted, losing that arm wrestle against Jasper last night...I send him a mischievous grin, thinking about what I will do later to make him feel better.

Edward doesn't notice. "Jessica Stanley is giving the new Swan girl all the dirty laundry on the Cullen clan."

I twist slightly in my chair, trying to get a good view of myself from somewhere. I've had enough of that girl for one day. Instead I catch sight of Edward, positively gawking at the new girl. I frown slightly; of course it doesn't mar my perfect features.

"Shall we?" I ask, irritated.

Finally, Edwards attention moved away from the insipid girl.

"So is the new one afraid of us yet?" Edward shrugged and Emmett returned to his musing. I rise gracefully, finished with the ridiculousness that is Isabella Swan.

* * * * *

This might be the first time I had ever had to wait for Edward, but I was still annoyed. I couldn't wait to get away from this school, from everyone's obsession with the new girl. Finally, he stalks to the car, a murderous expression on his face, fury radiating off him. He tears out of the parking lot with less finesse than he usually shows, and I turn questioningly to Alice, as do Emmett and Jasper. She ignores us.

"You're leaving?"

I turn to stare at Edward, my mind screaming questions.

"Am I?"

"Oh. Oh..." Occasionally I envy Alice, when I am one of the last to find out what is going on.

"Stop!" Edward groans.

"Sorry...I'll miss you, no matter how short a time you're gone."

I glance over at Emmett, unsure.

"Drop us here." Alice instructed him. "You should tell Carlisle yourself."

We were at the entrance to our driveway. Emmett, Jasper and I slipped out, leaving Alice with Edward for the moment, but only for a moment. As soon as he drives away, I plan on grilling her. She slides gracefully from the car, a worried expression on her face, and stands silently as Edward pulls away. Jasper glides over to her, catching her hand.

"Alice?" I can't wait another moment.

"He has to leave."

I growl in frustration. "That much is obvious; the why of it is the bigger issue."

I feel Emmett move behind me, holding my shoulders.

"He..." I can't say I've ever seen our chirpy bird lost for words. "He wants to kill her."

I let out a huge breath of air. "So? So he does, and we leave this boring place. Big deal. I still don't get what all the drama is about." I start running towards home, more hopeful than I have felt in a while.

So, finally, Twilight DVD comes out here in Oz today...meaning I probably won't post anything for a couple of days. I won't be long, I just have to get my fill of Edward....ah....
