A/AN: I'm extremely sorry for not updating since God knows when. I was so busy with school and everything and, I honestly (to all of us who are still in school) think we were all busy. So, Here's 'Seniors' chapter 3. I'm trying to start writing Letters again, its hard though. I'm going through immense writer's block, apart from schoolwork was one of the main reasons I couldn't write anymore. I saw New Moon and it's great! Chris Wietz is my idol and I loved when he said "Never trust a vampire, trust me." and then when they were voting he was like, "I don't think this is a very –…" and Bella was like, "SHUT UP!" haha Thanks a million! Happy Reading!

Chapter 3: Seniors

"Were Seniors today!!" Alice smiled. Rosalie and Emmet weren't going because they were supposed to be in College now so it was just Jasper, Alice and I.

"Let's go!" Alice chirped as she put my outfit from yesterday on. Purple skinny jeans, black spaghetti strap tank, purple/black stilettos, and a neon pink aero hoodie. Alice was going to get me a scarf, but she said it didn't go as good as she thought it would. I slung my Jansport backpack around my shoulder and pulled out in my new car. I had the exact same Lamborghini Diablo except it was silver now. Alice rode with me today, as well as Jasper as we pulled into the school.

"Oh my gosh." I whispered. He was talking to some guys in a black hoodie. A girl winked at him and he smiled back a little and ran inside the building. Two girls were sitting on a bench gossiping as well.

"I heard the new girl that the Cullen's adopted is a replacement!" One girl gossiped.

"Yeah! I know, they like killed Isabella Cullen and now they adopted Elizabeth or something, Tyler and Lauren met her! They said she's beyond beautiful." The gossiped more. I slammed the car door shut and walked in with Alice and Jasper.

"Remember, poise and composure." Alice whispered into my ear. I nodded and we all walked in.

"See you in homeroom." Alice smiled sadly as I went to the office. Déjà vu.

"Hi! Dear, you must be the new Cullen." she smiled going through files.

"Your half sister, Alice Cullen is delighted to have you here." Mrs. Cope smiled at me and gave me a slip.

"Have every teacher," She started.

"sign this and at the end of the day give it to me." I finished for her and took the slip walking to homeroom. Mrs. Moore was my homeroom teacher this year, as well as my artistic life teacher. I wasn't even sure what that was. I slipped in the class and saw Edward had this class to. The room was dead silent as I strolled gracefully to Mrs. Moore's desk.

"Hi. You must be Isabella Cullen." She beamed at me. Oh shit.

"Oops, that was the paper from last year." She chuckled and pulled out another paper.

"Elizabeth Cullen." she smiled looking up at me.

"That's right. I prefer to be called Lizzie though." I smiled up at her.

"Wonderful! Settle down, class. Miss Cullen would like to say a few things about herself.

"I'm Elizabeth Cullen. I'm Alice's half sister, different moms. Anyways, my favorite books are the classics, Hamlet, Pride and Prejudice, Romeo and Juliet and I enjoy all kinds of music. Especially classical and heavy metal." I smiled and sat down.

"Interesting." Mrs. Moore finally said after I sat down. I sat next to Lauren and Alice. Edward sat behind us.

I wonder where she got that lip gloss, it's really pretty. – Lauren

I smiled and pulled out my small Vera Bradley make up case.

"Have you ever heard of this brand? It's called candy lips." I smiled.

"Oh! It's beautiful. Is that what your wearing?" she asked curiously. I nodded and she requested to borrow it.

"Oh yeah, knock yourself out. It's getting old anyways." I smiled and she took it graciously.

"Okay class, this past weekend you had a report to do. On your favorite artist. Edward, go first." She smiled and I quickly paid attention.

"I did my report on Vangoh." His voice held no emotion or expression.

"Vangoh became very depressed and sad with his life. I did my report on him because I feel the same way. I rather die then live this life anymore than I have to." He muttered and sat down. My heart ached at his sadness. I hope I didn't do this to him.

"Miss Cullen, your excused of your report. Alice Cullen, next." She smiled.

"I did my report on Leonardo De Vinci." She smiled.

"Welcome class! Settle down." Mr. Kiff smiled at us as we hurried to seats.

"Miss Cullen, Elizabeth Cullen is new in our class. Come up and say a few things." He motioned for the board.

"I'm Elizabeth Cullen, call me Lizzie, Liz or Liza. I'm from Minnesota originally and Alice Cullen is my half sister." I smiled and sat down quickly.

"Jolly Good Show!" Alice smiled trying to do an English accent.

"Alice." I muttered smacking my forehead. It was free period, right before lunch and we were sitting in the hallway underneath are lockers. Alice paid the office fifty bucks so I could get a locker right next to hers. The bell rang and we stood up. Alice told me her and Jasper always sat with Edward, and then this girl Mallory. I had Edward's photo in my locker, it was of me and him. I was on a piggy back and he was rolling his eyes.

"Hey." I heard him whisper. It must've been to a girl or something.

"Wait. Is that me?" he whispered again.

"What? Is he looking in a mirror or something?" I whispered as I turned around to see him next to Alice, pointing at the picture in my locker.

"What?" I whispered.

"That's me! With her." He whispered.

"That's my cousin. Bella Swan. Were related." I murmured.

"Oh." He whispered.

"Wait!" he muttered and pulled Alice aside.

"She's a vampire too, right?" he asked her. Alice nodded and then he asked another question.

"Are they really related?" Alice nodded again and he gasped.

"Yeah. They don't really look alike, but they have the same facial features." She smiled and glanced at me as a tear rolled down my cheek. He wasn't mine anymore.

"How is she crying?"

"Their cousins. Elizabeth's powers is every power. They were both the head of Volturi. Bella never told you because Elizabeth was in hiding from the world." Alice murmured. I walked over and smiled.

"Let's go to lunch." I whispered shakily and we both walked to lunch.

"Hey. Ah, are you okay?" Edward murmured while Alice and I sat down at the lunch table.

"I'm fine. It's just, I miss my cousin and my boyfriend died." I whispered. What a lie. In a way he did though, Edward wasn't Edward anymore. I slowly got up to get lunch and out of the corner of my eye I saw a girl that probably was Mallory pull Edward into a hug. Has he moved on? Alice would tell me, right. Right?

"What'll it be?" The lunch lady smiled.

"Um, one coffee, and a cinnabon." I murmured.

"Okay, here you go." She smiled and called out, "Next." I gave myself hunger and sat down next to Edward. Alice hurried to sit next to me on the other side while this Mallory girl settled to sit next to Jasper.

"Mallory, Edward, this is my sister and Bella's cousin – Elizabeth." Alice introduced me.

"I like to be called Liz, Lizzie or Liza though." I said softly.

"Why can't you just pick one nickname?" Mallory sneered.

"I don't know. My mother – she died from breast cancer – used to call me Lizzie and Liz but my father – who died in a car accident – called me Liza. I couldn't ever really let go of those names." I whispered quietly, my eyes downcast.

"Oh." She whispered. She was speechless.

Alice put her hand on mine, comfortingly and I mumbled something and Edward looked disgusted.

"Is there something wrong, Edward?" Jasper asked, his voice full of authority.

"No. Nothing at all." He responded.

"Um Liz, Edward, come help me with something." Alice murmured and we both stood up. She took us to the vending machine and he stared at me.

"What?" I whispered.

"Don't what me! You two need to get along. Edward, Bella had a cover story to. Stop acting disgusted. Liz's parents did die, and she's mourning over them. Cut her a break. Just because Bella died doesn't mean you need to make everybody else's life hell." Alice muttered and pulled me away. I shifted my head and saw him with his arms across his chest, eyes downcast.

"Alice, was that necessary?" I asked her as we sat down. I noticed he walked over rather slowly and sat down next to me.

"It was." She muttered.

"What'd you guys get anyway?" Mallory asked, amused.

"Umm… Nature Valley bar." I smiled pulling up a granola bar.

Jasper laughed out loud while I just smiled and put it down.

"Yeah. Okay." Mallory chuckled while I quickly connected Alice and I's minds.

Alice!! Are they a couple? – Bella

No, it's just like he's her sister. She's not but they've known each other since they were littlies. Mallory secretly likes him, but he just thinks of her as a sister/friend. He really likes you though, he has a crush on you he's just afraid of admitting he might've moved on from you when you were Bella. – Alice

Oh. I feel bad for him. – Bella

Will we ever tell him? – Bella

Not sure. – Alice

I sipped some coffee and Edward tried to start up a conversation.

"So Liz – if it's okay if I call you that – you said you were from Minnesota originally, right?" he asked curiously.

"Yes. I was. My parents name's were Clara and Theodore." I murmured before I had a chance to stop myself. His head snapped up and his eyes went wide.

"Any siblings?" he asked.

"Trent and Macy." I whispered sighing. Shoot!

"Minnesota though, not New Jersey?" he asked. Me as in Bella was from New Jersey. Elizabeth was from Minnesota.

"Yeah." I whispered and took a large bite of my cinnabon.

"Your favorite color?" he asked curious again.

"Um, I like purple, black, blue, red, pink, yellow, orange, green. Basically all colors." I smiled.

"Cool." Mallory said, putting herself in the conversation.

"Yeah." I agreed quietly and Edward looked up with something in his eyes. Perhaps admiration?

"What do you have next?" Alice asked curiously.

"Biology III with Mr. Varner." I murmured.

"Me too." Edward smiled.

I haven't seen him smile in forever – Mallory

Yes. He's starting to like me again.

"How's the paperwork going?" Jasper asked Edward. My head snapped up at that and Alice gave Jasper a why-in-the-hell-would-you-say-that look.

"Paperwork for what?" I asked curiously.

"The Army." Edward smiled. My curiosity instantly disappeared.

"What?!" I shouted standing up.

"I'm going into the army, is there a problem?" he asked with a cock of the eyebrow.

"All's I know is that my cousin would have killed you for this!" I shouted slamming the chair and running to my locker. I pulled out my biology book's and the bell rang. I hurried to biology and slammed into the chair.

"Hi Miss Cullen." Mr. Varner acknowledged me. I nodded and saw Edward walk in. God, he smelled good. I positioned myself so I was slightly slanted towards him more, but on edge.

"Hi Elizabeth." He tried to smile and sat down. He frowned quietly at being taken aback by the recent events.

"Hello." I coughed out. I batted my lashes at him and he got hypnotized. No hypnotizing humans! I shouted mentally. I quickly stopped and he snapped out of it.

"I'm sorry, about what happened back there." I said quietly, looking up.

"It's okay. You were right though. She'd be furious." He whispered a small smile forming itself in the corner of his lips.

"Your right to. She wouldn't want you to go. You know how I have every power." I whispered. He nodded thoughtfully and I had to tell another lie. All the lies…

"I can see the dead as well. Robyn's task from the above was to make a true friend and end Mathias's life. Isabella Marie Volturi Cullen Swan did that for Robyn and she passed on." I smiled sadly and he nodded.

"Mathias?"

"Thomas. Whom she got raped by." I whispered quietly.

"Oh." He frowned. I nodded sadly and decided to pay attention in class for once.

I quietly walked home with my shoulder strap bag on shoulder. It was a messenger bag but I always referred to it as a book bag. Why do you ask, I was walking? Because Alice said I just had to!! Yup. That's right, I have no idea why I'm walking down…. Jefferson Rd., trying to get home. Do you? No. Thought so. A very familiar looking Volvo came speeding down the road, then stopped as abruptly as it came. I turned around to see who that could be then saw his face. His perfect features into a smirk and he slammed his door shut.

"May I ask why your walking home?" he asked leaning against his car.

"Nature, Alice, my car broke down sort of. Not really." I muttered.

"Nature?" he chuckled.

"Shouldn't you be running at 1,000 miles per hour right now?" he laughed.

"I guess so. I'm not your average vamp." I mumbled.

"Average vamp? You certainly aren't Elizabeth." He chuckled.

"Can I call you Liza?" he asked curiously.

"Yeah. I don't care." I smiled and he put his hand on mine.

"Then Liza, you should probably get in the car. I'll drive you home since you just can't run since your no average vampire." He smiled and helped me in.

"You didn't have to you know, I was getting in touch with my inner nature." I smiled.

"Inner nature? While you got in touch with that did you happen to eat a few squirrels?" he chuckled at his humor and kept speeding down the road.

His speed slowed as he pulled into the driveway.

"Thanks for the ride again." I smiled as I slammed the door.

"No problem, mind if I come in?" he asked curiously. I nodded and let him in.

"Edward!" Alice squealed and threw her arms around him. If I didn't know any better I'd think they had a relationship. I heard her whisper faintly in his ear.

"She's still here."

My head snapped over and my eyes pin pointed directly with hers.

"No she's not." I whispered standing up.

"Yes she is!!" Alice shouted and ran over.

"NO she isn't!!" I shouted and felt Alice's hand connect with my face in a slap.

"Yes she is!!" she shouted quietly, fuming with anger. I held my cheek and cried out in pain.

"What the hell Alice!" Edward shouted and Jasper ran down the stairs staring in horror.

"Alice. Go upstairs. Now!!" Jasper shouted.

I was heaving quietly as I thought about the last time I was hit, Ave and Nathan popped into mind and so did the rape. I shuddered and started to violently heave, my chest moving up and down to quickly for the average person or vampire.

"Jasper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I cried out as he ran over.

"What's wrong with her?" Edward whispered.

"Leave." Jasper hissed.

"No! Liza's my friend and I deserve to know!!" he shouted.

"Leave me alone!!" I screamed.

"Just go." Rosalie whispered coming down the staircase.

"I can't! She's my friend!!!" He shouted, he obviously got to attached.

"BELLA'S RIGHT HERE! SHE'S RIGHT HERE ON EARTH!" I screamed as the heaving accelerated and Jasper just stared wide eyed at me and looked at Edward.

"Can you leave now?"
