"You know, you really should be more grateful for what you have, you little brat," the voice screamed in Hanna's head.
Hanna shot out of bed, the sheets suffocating her as she fell from the comfort of her fluffy pillow fort. She rubbed her temples. She got out of bed and felt the difference in the air. Tanya and Alex were home.
Hanna hopped into the shower and washed her hair. When she got out, she quickly got dried off and got dressed.
"Hanna, get down here please." Tanya called up from the kitchen. Hanna scuttled downstairs and winced when she noticed that she had forgotten to put away her medicine.
"Whats up Tanya?" Hanna asked, her voice light.
"Would you like some breakfast?" She asked, her voice also light. Alex had already left for work.
"Nah, I got to get going. How was Italy?" Hanna asked, pulling her book bag from the couch and making her way back to the kitchen and opening the box of her medicine. She placed a bottle in her back pack. The bottle was the same design as any small bottle of soda.
"It was okay. Alex treated me nicely, took me swimming and to fancy restaurants."
Hanna nodded. All she wanted to do was leave at the moment. "Sounds very charming. Well, I hope you don't mind Tanya, but I have to get to school," Hanna said quickly, leaving before Tanya could give a response.
She wrapped her scarf around her throat and got in her Corvette, the heat and music instantly coming on when she put her key in the ignition. Hanna drove quickly to the school and kept her jacket pressed firmly against herself as she made her way into the school. She went to her first class, Language Arts, and hung up her jacket and the stuff she didn't need at the moment.
Up until lunch, it went like this. Hanna kept to herself and fighting a fruitless battle against the cold. Edward didn't look at Hanna once during their classes together. Somehow, that was worse then his hostile voice and glares.
At lunch, Edward and Alice sat at a table away from their siblings. Hanna glanced their way and Alice caught her eye. Alice grinned when she saw the bottle peeking out of Hanna's book bag, but frowned slightly when she noticed Hanna had no lunch. Hanna sat next to Edward, across from Alice. Hanna made it seem as though she didn't notice Edward just an inch from her. She took the glass bottle from her bag and twisted off the cap and took a quick swing. She smacked her lips.
"You know, I don't even know what this is," Hanna pointed to the bottle, "I just know it helps me and it tastes good." She grinned at Alice.
Alice motioned for her to pass over the bottle. Hanna handed it over. Alice sniffed at it, and her nose wrinkled. Alice passed it back with a look of disgust on her face. Hanna got up and grabbed a straw. When she came back, she put the straw in the bottle and began sipping at the clear liquid in the bottle.
"Do you know what it is?" Hanna asked Alice. If Edward was ignoring her, she could do that same back.
"Yeah, but I'm not allowed to say," Alice smiled secretly.
"Pfft, whatever. I'd take it you aren't going to tell me either, huh?" Hanna asked Edward, the first time she paid any attention to him all day. His eyes rested on Hanna and Hanna stared back, transfixed by his eyes. They were molten gold today. A smile pulled at his lips.
"No, I'm not allowed to say either," he said. "But then again you don't tell me anything either, do you Hanna?" Hanna knew he was talking about when she switched bodies with him and she wouldn't tell him anything about it.
"Then I guess we're both searching answers then," Hanna finished her medicine and got up, throwing out the bottle and walking out of the cafeteria.
She heard footsteps behind her, but Hanna didn't turn around to see who it was. Hanna turned and gasped at the closeness of Edward. His nose was almost touching hers. His eyes trapped her own and kept her still.
"You really shouldn't be so dramatic," he breathed.
"You shouldn't be so close," Hanna murmured, her heart beating quickly. Probably too quickly.
"You mean like this?" If possible, he got even closer to Hanna, their noses touching, their lips almost touching.
"Yeah, like this," Hanna breathed. She had to get away. She didn't want him to know about her being able to where ever she wanted, that she could just think of a place, and be there the next second. She had to get him away.
Hanna closed her eyes and arched her neck, her lips pressed against Edward's. They stayed like that for a few seconds, then Edward leaned down more, so their lips were pressed together tightly.
Suddenly, Edward was across the hallway, breathing hard. Hanna looked at him, her lips tingling delightfully. She closed her eyes and the next second was sitting on a rock, her legs off the side of the cliff she sat on, the waters below her churning dangerously. Hanna sighed. There would be a lot of questions to answer shortly.
