I've decided to post one more chapter before I go for my holiday, just to keep you happy. I'll have another chapter up the first Monday after my return.

Chapter 7
Monday arrived too soon. I hadn't even worked out how to ask him yet.
"I mean, you don't simply go up to someone and ask "Excuse me, but, are you a vampire?" that's just plain weird," I whispered to Diana during English. I had asked Adain to exchange seats with me for this lesson, explaining it to him as "a girls' thing". Good thing he won't question that.
"Well you're the one who wants to know," she replied back. I had let her in on the "secret" since I didn't know who to trust, and I'll explode if I had to handle it myself. I made her swear not to tell anyone or anything. Not even Adain, because letting too many people know would blow things out of hand, and both Diana and I agreed that three was one too many. I knew I could trust Diana to guard my secrets with her existence.
"You're not helping here."
"I know, I mean like, how would I know what to say."
"Fine… Maybe, I should wait for another time…"
"It'll be just as hard. You shouldn't delay the inevitable. It's not like he's ever going to voluntarily tell you or something."
"Okay then, I think I'll go with the flow and cook something up."
A head suddenly popped between Diana and I, "Will you girls ever let me in on the secret?"
"Nope, never, it's just between us girls."
"Fine," Adain muttered quite irritably.

"You won't ever let me know until it happens would you?" I asked Alice as we settled into our usual seats at the usual table during lunch.
There were only three of us as Emmett and Jasper were both hunting, leaving me with Alice and Rosalie. I could only describe it as a nightmare. I wanted t join them at first, but Alice wanted me to stay, saying that a day or two wouldn't really matter, and that Monday was important.
"No, over my dead body," I wonder if she realized the irony of what she had just said.
At least she has stopped playing "banana phone" on permanent loop in her mind; I'd have nightmares of that song if I could sleep. But now, it's even worse. It's the teletubbies' theme song. I think she is purposely trying to annoy me or something.
Rosalie just stared at us blankly, realized that she wouldn't ask anything about it, then, looked away, thinking of herself (again), and admiring her own reflection (as always) on the stainless steel spoon.
The bell rung sooner than it should and it was time for the dreaded lesson.
When I reached the classroom, everyone there was talking amongst themselves. They weren't about to stop anytime soon, as when it came down to Forks High, everyone knows when the teacher is absent, and the substitute teachers never gave a shit about the class. The sub is usually some older teen that gets paid by the hour to "babysit" us, and is here just to kill time and earn easy money.
Bella slid into the sit next to mine, as the sub introduced herself as Ms Lowe, and told us to continue with whatever we were doing as long as we didn't make too much noise or disturb other classes.
Bella looked like she wants to say something, but doesn't know how to ask what I knew she was already going to ask.
Nobody else was even looking at us, not even Mike who was ogling at the subs curvy body. So I decided to get it over and done with.
"If you want to say something, just, spill it out," I said. She really did look cute with that hesitant expression on her face.
"Okay…you know, I said I'll figure out what you are," I nodded, "I think, I know."
"So, what am I?" I asked half-jokingly.
"I sort of heard it from a legend of sorts…I think you are a vampire."
"Okay, and I have a theory about you," I said deciding to switch subjects.
"What?" she asked.
"I think you're a mermaid."
Bella stared and me blankly, blinked twice and went "What?! Mermaids don't exist," then started laughing.
"They don't?" I asked.
"Not really."
"So they do exist."
"No, they don't."
"You're confusing me."
"I guess, but back to my theory."
"Well, if mermaids don't exist, what reasons are there for vampires to exist?"
"I'm not saying that they don't exist."
"And, how do you know that?"
"I just do."
"So are you a mermaid?"
"No."
But there was something about the way she said it, it was so obvious she was lying. "You're a very bad liar, you know that? So, mermaid? Yes, or no."
"Not really."
This was a time that I really wished I could hear her thoughts, to understand what she was thinking.
"I'm now thoroughly and utterly confused."
"and you are going to stay confused. I'm not going to tell you."
"Then I guess I'm not telling you whether your theory was right."
"Fine, then,"
There was a little period of silence, then she stalked off to talk to some of her friends at another table, leaving me to doodle on my notebook. I wonder, why most of our conversation ends in having disagreeing, not establishing anything, and her stalking off.
The lesson ended soon enough, and I had decided that if was going to find out anything I'd have to find out for myself, by myself.
…:::…:::…:::…
School ended soon enough and as I headed out I passed by both Alice and Rosalie, and told them to take the Volvo, I was going to come back by myself later.
They didn't question anything, Rosalie has had decades to adjust to my usual weirdness, and Alice just knows what is going to happen.
The Swan's house was really not difficult to locate, and I found that if I climbed the tree outside her house, I get a perfect view of her room. I could smell that she was cooking something, and then saw her leave her house through the back door.
She entered into the woods behind her house, and I decided to follow her, I kept a distance from her so that she wouldn't know I was following her, and the journey eventually led to a shallow pool of water.
She slowly waded into the pool, and then somehow, she managed to submerge herself fully into the water. And then she was gone.
A gentle ripple of water pushed her clothes out onto the edge of the pool, and onto dry land. The clothes were folded neatly and was dry.
Stunned by what I just saw, I took a step back and accidentally stepped on a branch. It snapped loudly beneath my feet. Then, I took a look at the pool to see the pool staring at me.
I'm not kidding the water was to be looking at me; glaring at me.
Suddenly a wave shot out of the water and the extremely strong current was dragging me towards the pool, and forcing my head underwater. I was being drowned.
Well, not really. I can't actually drown, but I was not being let up for air, and most normal humans would have passed out already at this stage.
A beautiful voice then rang out from the water, Bella's voice. But this voice was more beautiful, more terrible, and filled with anger and rage.
"Who are you intruder?! Why are you here?!" screamed the water, forcing my head out of the pool
"it's me, Edward. Edward Cullen."
At the mention of my name, the current of the water loosened its grip, and I found that I could break free.
A wave swept Bella's clothes into the water, and Bella then stepped out of the pool, fully clothed and dry.
"What are you doing here?"
A/n: I shall be evil and leave you here with this cliffy while I disappear for a week.
Muahahahahahaha
