A/N: Once again sorry about how short the last chapter was! I'll try and make this one longer. Kensie ;D
Chapter 3: How To Ask
"Vampires?!" I laughed. Did he honestly think that I would believe that? " You have got to be kidding"
"Isabella Swan, why would I lie to you? Especially about something like this!" Charlie suddenly became very serious. "I swear I would never lie to you."
"I'm sorry dad, it's just," I paused trying to think of the right words, "If they trully (sp?) are vampires, how can the be around humans? Don't vampires drink human blood?"
"Not all vampires are monsters. There are many vampires who refuse to drink human blood, like the Cullens."
"But why?" Wait, was I really going to believe this? I guess it is the only thing that makes since...
"I'm not quite sure about that. I guess you would have to ask one of them. I'm sure they would be more than willing to tell you all about it. That is, if you keep your promise and dont tell any one." I sighed knowing that I would have to talk to the Cullens, but what was I going to say? I doubt if I just walked up and said, "Hey my dad said you guys were vampires, is that true?", I would get an honest answer.
"Alright Char- dad, I'll try and talk to them about it, but I just hope I wont make a complete fool of myself."
"You won't Bells." Charlie smiled reassuringly. "Now I'm going to go back to the game. If you want to watch it with me, it's the Suns vs. the Spurs."
"Nah, its okay dad. I'm not really into sports, thanks though." I said as I walk up the stairs. Tomorrow ought to be interesting, I thought as I got ready for bed, but hopefully it wont be mortifying.
oOoOoOoOo
(The next day at lunch...)
When I entered the cafeteria I glanced over to see if Edward was here. Much to my dismay, he wasnt. So that meant I would have to ask one of the others. I decided that I would talk to Alice about it. She looked friendly enough.
Once we got our lunches, I decided to approach Alice about whole ordeal. "Bella over here," Jessica said when she noticed me walking over to where the Cullens sat.
"I'll be right there," I said making sure Jessica didn't follow. She stared at me strangely and then decided to go sit down with Mike and everyone. Alright Bella, you can do this. Just go up to Alice and ask...if you two could talk after school. Yeah that's it. That way it wont be as bad, rather than just asking her in front of the entire school. I sighed, this was going to be hard. "Hey, Alice?"
"Yes, Bella?" She smiled up at me. What is it with small schools and gossip? I think everyone knows who I am without even having to be told.
"I was wondering if I could talk to you after school. I have some questions about some... things." I said hoping she would catch that it wasnt school related.
"Of course, where do you want to meet?" She caught on quite quickly, I noticed.
"Um...how about in the parking lot?"
"Alright, I'll meet you there!" She said unusualy chipper.
"Thanks," I smiled and walked back over to where Jessica was saving me a seat.
"What was that all about?" Jessica instantly started interrogating. Probably looking for something new to gossip about.
"Oh it's nothing. I just need to talk to Alice about something." You could tell that Jessica wasn't satisfied with this answer, but she didnt press the issue any more. I was glad she didnt, too. I was to busy worrying about how Alice would react when I asked her if what Charlie said was really true.
