I sat in the cafeteria with my family. It was Rosalie's idea that we always enter the room late. She seemed to think that we were better than the humans despite the fact that she envied them and their ability to have babies. People stared at us like they always do as I thought back to how the day had previously gone.
My day started the way that it usually does. I came back from my morning hunt and went to take a shower. As I entered the bathroom, I was hit with another vision. It was her again the girl with the blonde hair. I had been having visions of her the past two weeks. They were usually just short pieces. I obviously didn't know who she was but I was one to listen to gossip. Naomi was big source of gossip. Being able to heart everyone's thoughts allowed her to know things and she also liked to stay up to date on current events. I had been hearing that we were supposed to get a new student today. Apparently that was a big deal at Forks High because most people don't move to Forks. It was supposedly a huge deal when we moved here but then people just started to leave us alone. Having been at much bigger schools people didn't seem care as much.
We arrived at school just in time to get to class. Usually everyone was already there and we didn't really socialize much. We were never partnered up for classes because everyone seemed to be afraid. I mean they had to the right to be, especially if they knew what we really were.
So the rumor around the school in the morning was that Chief Swan's niece was at the school. I knew that he had a daughter from the times I played nurse with Carlisle to help get my blood urges under control. Being a nurse wouldn't be so bad compared to some of the other jobs that I had the past.
That brought us to lunch. We always got food even though we never ate it. According to Naomi reading the minds of the other students, it was terrible anyway.
Across the table, Jessica Stanley was talking to us. She had definitely expressed her disgust about how she didn't like the fact that Emmett and Rosalie as well as Naomi and Jasper were dating. They were actually married to be honest. I then noticed who they were talking to. It was the blonde girl from my visions. I looked over to the table and she looked at me. Our eyes met.
"That's Alice." I heard Jessica remark. "She's the only one who's single and she's kind of weird but she also doesn't date."
I thought back to the time that Jessica had a huge crush on me. Naomi told me that had very interesting sexual thoughts about and I don't think I wanted to get involved with her. I looked to Naomi whom I was closest to.
"What's she thinking about?" I asked.
"Well she thinks that you're beautiful and she's a little annoyed how every guy in the school seems to be hitting on her." Naomi answered. "She's the one from your visions, right? Are you gonna talk to her?"
"Not in front of the cafeteria." I answered before I was sucked into another vision. It was another short one. It basically involved her walking to biology with Mike Newton. I was in biology with Mike Newton. I also knew that I was the only one who didn't have a lab partner.
"So Elle, are you enjoying your first day?" Angela asked. So her name was Elle: French for girl
"Well it's not like I expected school to be." Elle responded.
"She spent a time watching shows about high school." Naomi told me. "I'm pretty sure that this is the first school she's ever been to."
"That's a pretty good contrast to us." I remarked.
"All I know is if you two are gonna be making out, I wanna watch." Emmett said as he was promptly smacked by Rosalie. Emmett was a goofball and Rosalie wasn't exactly one to like his snarky comments.
I began to head toward the biology room. I liked to get to all of my classes earlier because detention was definitely not an option for any of us.
Naturally I was there when Mike Newton walked in with Elle. I wasn't Naomi or Jasper but I didn't need to be to know that he wanted her. Thankfully she didn't look that interested.
"Please take a seat next to Ms. Cullen." The teacher said as I noticed Elle walk over and sit down next to me. She had an adorable blush on her fact that I don't even think that she knew about.
"Hi." I told her. I thought it would be polite for me to introduce myself. "I'm Alice Cullen."
"I'm Elle" She responded.
"So you're Chief Swan's niece?" I asked as she nodded. "I wasn't aware that he had a niece."
"Well he and my daddy aren't exactly on good terms." She replied. "How do you know him?"
"My adopted father is friends with him." I said as I was hit was the delicious smell of her blood. Okay Alice, be strong. You don't need her blood. "So what is it that you like to do?"
"To be honest I don't have many hobbies." Elle responded. "My daddy didn't exactly let me have much of social life."
"I see." I commented. "Do you like to shop?"
"I don't have much experience with it." Elle replied. "That whole no social life thing meant people bought my clothes for me. But I do need to go shopping after school."
"I want to go shopping after school." I responded "But I don't have a car. Maybe I could possibly go with you. I do know what some of the best stores around here are. By the way I love your Gucci purse."
Elle put her fingers by her lips for a second as she was considering my proposal. This would be a good time to have telepathy like my sister.
"Hmm so you know where the best places to buy clothes for teenagers are?" She asked. The way that she phrased it was a little odd. I don't think that she knew that I wasn't a teenager but it was still odd. I nodded nonetheless. "Okay I guess you can come with me then."
"Did I mention that I have a lot of money?" I added. I was great at predicting what the hot stock would be and the perfect time to sell.
"So do I." She boasted. It seemed like she was a feisty one.
So when school ended, I followed her out to her car. I believe it was a 1992 Nissan Sentra if I'm not mistaken. I can say that I remember when cars like that were in style. A rubber bumper is definitely more practical than the ones they use nowadays but people prefer looks over practically. I can't help but wonder where she managed to get one of these. Oh well at least it's not some beat-up old truck.
"You coming?" She asked. I noticed that she was in the car. I opened the passenger side door and got inside. She started the car and we began to drive.
Okay, so Elle wasn't the greatest driver but after having Emmett drive me around, I would take this girl any day. Emmett almost made me sick to my nonfunctioning stomach. She at least seemed like she was trying to avoid other cars and her speed wasn't really that high. It was a little slow for my liking but most don't drive 102 in a 45.
"So who taught you how to drive?" I asked as we pulled into the parking lot in Port Angeles. There weren't any malls in Forks or anywhere remotely close so we had to drive an hour to get nice clothes. But it was definitely worth it. Gas really wasn't that expensive and you have to pay to look good. I mean Elle already looked pretty good but she could look even better.
"I only had a few lessons." Elle answered. "I didn't hit anything so I would say that this was a pretty successful trip. So what store are you going to take me to first?"
"Well how much are you looking to buy?" I questioned.
"I think I need a brand new wardrobe." She stated. "Most of my clothes don't have a very high school look to them."
Judging by that statement, I wondered something about her. She previously stated that someone else bought her clothes for her. That might mean that she didn't get the best possible…I would have to see. I decided on a store and quickly found some clothes for her.
"So the stall should be big enough for us to both fit in and there's something that I'm curious about." I told her as we both walked into the stall. I watched her undress and noticed that she was wearing a plain white bra and panties. She had a beautiful body but those really didn't show any of it.
"We definitely need to upgrade those." I said.
"What?" She asked as she looked up at me.
"Your underwear." I responded. "It's boring and doesn't do anything for your look."
"Well not very many people will be seeing them." She pointed out.
"I take it you're a virgin then." I said. "Just because people won't be seeing them doesn't mean that you can't wear nice lingerie. I mean there are some that you feel good against your skin."
"Oh I am not a virgin." She told me. "I have definitely had sex with a guy before."
"What did he think of them?" I asked.
"Well I he was kind of nerdy and I think he was a virgin so he didn't really pay attention." Elle explained. I was starting to feel jealous of this guy. "But I did see what some of the girls in gym were wearing and I guess I could use a change for this."
So after she was done buying clothes at that store, I took her to Victoria's Secret. It was the best place at this mall to buy underwear.
"So are you gonna show me what you're wearing?" Elle asked. "I mean maybe I can get an idea."
"Well my undies are kind of fancier than anything that they sell here but okay." I said as I went to the dressing room and came back wearing my Armani lingerie. It was the same style that Victoria Beckham wore in her ads for the company. I personally think they looked better on me.
"Wow." She said. She looked awestruck. Part of being a vampire was being a work of perfection. We didn't have the imperfections that humans possessed and we were made to always look the same. Part of that meant that our hair didn't grow. I cut my hair a long time ago and found that out the hard way. But I had grown to like the pixie cut. "Those look like they were made for you."
"Well they weren't made for me but they a custom fit." I responded. "You won't be able to find anything like this here but I'm pretty sure that we can find something that looks good on you. Your favorite color is blue, isn't it?"
So watching her try on intimates was a little hard for me to take. I hope that she wasn't going to notice that my eyes were starting to turn black. I had to avoid eye contact with her. I don't think that I could stand being this close to her for much longer.
"You know I just remembered that my mother wants me home for dinner." I said out of the store carrying her bags. She frowned at that.
"Okay I'll give you a ride home." She suggested.
"No!" I shouted. "I mean you still some more shopping to do. I'll take a cab home."
"Okay…see you at school tomorrow." She replied.
I didn't know if I would be there or not. I headed out the door and soon into the forest where I began to run and search for a way to satisfy my craving for blood.
So it seems that Alice is not as strong as she thinks. But at least they made it to the mall, even though Elle will be going back alone. To do a chapter in Alice's POV was a plan for this story all along and there will probably be more in the future. Please don't forget to review.
