Jasper: Asmin. What are you doing?
Asmin: (looks up sheepishly and tries to hide a spade behind her back) Umm...Nothing?
Jasper: I can feel that you're lying you know.
Asmin: Fine. I was trying to dig up the deeds to twilight.
Jasper: Just give up already. You're never going to own twilight.
Asmin: I know! (Runs of crying)
Jasper: *sigh*
I walked into my first class alone. No Ellyon, Serena, Aura, Adam or even Eter here. I took in a deep breath and handed the note Mrs Cope had given me to the teacher. He signed it and handed I back to me. I had to introduce myself to the whole class.
"Umm... My name is Ever Collan. I'm new here. I just...umm moved here from California." I said, before heading to a seat at the back of the class.
Second Period was better, though because I had all my friends there. The rest of the morning was pretty much like first period. Finally lunch time came.
I walked in with the rest. We were slightly late but that was only because Ellyon had insisted on going into the bathroom to check herself before meeting 'the oh so great Emmett Cullen'.
All heads turned to us and I immediately felt self conscious and blushed. I scanned the hall desperately for a table and was relived to see a girl waving us over to her table.
"Hi! My name is Jessica Stanley. That's Mike, Lauren Mallory, Tyler Crowley, Angela, Ben Cheney, Eric and Bella Swan." she said enthusiastically, as we moved into hearing range.
"Hey. I'm Ever Collan. That's Ellyon Collan, Serena Collan, Aura Collan and Adam Collan." I told her.
"Wow. That's quite a lot of Collans don't you think? And are Aura and Adam together? Is that even legal." She asked.
I knew that Jessica was only being nice to us because of the attention but I found the last question quite rude.
"Well, we are all adopted and because of this, Aura and Adam are technically not related so I think that makes it quite legal." I answered her, in a slightly cool voice. Her face flushed and she nodded quickly before looking down at her food. I noticed that the rest of my group had gone quiet too and were staring across the hall.I looked that direction and saw them. They were the most beautiful people ever. Bella had not described their beauty well enough. Sitting there were the Cullens. My eyes scanned through them. Emmet, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper and Edward. Their beautiful topaz eyes. Their pale porclein skin. They were incredible. My heart skipped a beat as my eyes fell on Edward.
Suddenly, a whole group filed into the cafeteria. "What's going on?" I asked no one in particular. Jessica seemed to have gotten her confidence back because she replied.
"Oh. The elementary school comes here for lunch now."
I saw several elementary school kids moving to tables, feeling intimidated by us big kids. All except two. One was a brown haired, beautiful child who walked straight to the Cullen's table. It hit me and I turned to the others. It was Eric. The character we had created.
Eter was the other child who walked straight towards us with her head held high. The other kids watched her in awe. When she reached our table she hopped on the seat next to me and grinned.
"Hi guys!" she said.
"Hey Eter. Aren't you lucky? Getting to sit with us big kids." Ellyon joked. We all laughed.
"Who's that?" Jessica asked with a disgusted face, obviously not pleased with a 2nd grader sitting at their table.
"This is my sister, Eter." I replied to her.
"But aren't you all siblings? Why did you say your sister if you're all siblings?" Jessica asked again. She was really starting to get on my nerves with all her questions.
"Because they are blood sisters." Ellyon snapped, obviously irritated too.
"Oh." Jessica said.
I turned to the rest of them and rolled my eyes before remembering our main task. I turned to the others then moved my eyes quickly to the Cullens before moving my eyes back to them. They got the point immediately and I mouthed 'I'll go first.' I took in a deep breath and shouted in my head.
'EDWARD!' I looked to his table. No response. I tried again. 'EDWARD!' Still no response. I turned to the others and gave them a thumb down and a grin, signalling that he couldn't hear my thoughts. I looked at Ellyon, signalling her to go next.
She took in a deep breath. After about 3 seconds, Edward's head snapped up to look at her, before going back down. Ellyon, obviously disgruntled at her lack of privacy, gave us all a thumb up, signalling that he could hear her thoughts.
Serena, Aura and Adam all went next and Edward responded to all of them. They all gave thumbs ups.
I frowned. This wasn't good. I was the only one actually protected from Edward's mind reading powers yet I was the one who needed it least. I could protect my thoughts from him easily if I wanted to. The others, not so much.
As we were walking to our next classes after lunch, I turned to the girls, making sure no one was in the hall.
"Okay so here's the plan. Whenever any of you guys are around Edward, I want you to just think 'cheese cheese cheese cheese cake' okay?" I asked them. They all nodded and we left to our next class. I looked through the window of my biology class and saw that all the seats had been arranged in three's and were all taken except one. The one next to Bella and Edward. They had obviously done some changing of the class arrangement and no one had probably sat next to Bella because of Edward. You know the usual bad vibe human fear stuff. I took in a deep breath and walked into the class. All heads turned to me and I found myself feeling self conscious again. I turned to the teacher and he signed my note before, of course, asking me to introduce myself. I took in a deep breath again and started.
"Umm...well...My name's Ever Collan. I just moved here from California. I like reading Tw...I mean books and singing." I said. I had very nearly said Twilight there and I knew that wouldn't end well.
"Well, thank you for joining us Ms Collan. Please take the empty seat next to Ms Swan." The teacher said.
I already expected this but I still felt nervous as I made my way to the empty seat.
"Hi I'm Bella. We met at the table during lunch. This is Edward Cullen." She said. I struggled to suppress a fan girl squeal as I answered.
"Hi it's nice to meet you guys." I said. I noticed Edward was gripping the edge of the table and i felt confused. Did my blood tempt Edward? If it did then that wouldn't be good. As the class went on, I found myself glancing at Bella ad Edward almost all the time, barely paying attention to anything the teacher was saying, considering the fact that they were just doing a recap of what they did last year so if I was called, I would just give the answer Edward gave from Midnight Sun and hope it was correct.
I was jerked out of my thoughts by the teacher who asked "So what would be the product Ms Collan" , obviously hoping I would get it wrong so he could humiliate me.
I just stared before tentatively giving Edward's answer. The teacher stared at me in surprise before asking
"Have you done this topic before?"
"No. I just remember reading the answer somewhere." I said hurriedly. Edward looked at me curiously.
"Oh. Honestly I didn't even know you were listening. I thought you were off in dream land." He replied, laughing to himself. I smiled back weakly, but then I realized something and I nearly screamed in horror. Dreams. Ellyon, Serena, Aura, Adam, Tammy, Eter and I had been transported to Forks. Edward couldn't read my mind. They had another Cullen. My blood tempted Edward. My blood probably smelled really good to the other vampires too. And now I knew why.
The stories I told. This was exactly how I had told them. My stories were happening. The second I realized this, I gasped.
"What's wrong?" Whispered a confused Bella.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." I replied. She looked at me weirdly before turning back to the front of the class.
I spent the rest of the class panicking and hyperventilating and after what seemed like years, the bell finally rang and I dashed out of class, ignoring the confused stares of Bella and Edward. Then I remembered, Bella was in my gym class and I groaned.
