Chapter 5
I saw that Edward was away from Bella and Alice had whisked Nessie away for shopping for a while. I thought I'd go and talk to him now. I was almost to the threshold of the room he was in. "Hello Austin," Edward said. My god that mind reading thing is weird. "What's on your mind?"
"You should know shouldn't you," I said sarcastically.
He chuckled a little bit. "That's true."
There was silence for a moment. "That was an odd dream you had," he said inquisitively. "Do you have any idea who it was in it?"
"Nope," I said simply.
"I see. So you want to be a vampire, eh?"
"Yes."
"And you want that, so you have endless time?"
"Yes."
"You've read the… books about us, so you know of the intense pain of the venom."
"Yes, I do."
"And you know how bored you will be with the inability to sleep."
"Yep, I know that too."
"You still want to be one of the eternally damned? Even knowing all of that?"
I took a deep breath before responding. "Yes."
"If I had any control over you, I'd strongly advise against it."
I had a puzzled look on my face. "But," he began. "Since I do not have any say in your choices, I will ask Carlisle to bite you."
"Thank you," I said calmly. I had tried my hardest not to show any emotion during the entire exchange of words. I walked back to the small house in which I resided with AD. I opened the door and came in to see AD watching some Resident Evil movie. "Where've you been," AD asked curiously.
"Talking with Edward," I said in an emotionless tone.
"What were you talking about?"
"A personal matter," I said simply.
He had a puzzled look on his face for a little bit and then he went back to his movie. I walked into my room and decided to make some music on the Mac book. (A/N: with Mac books, you can make music on a program called Garage band) I made some good music—good to me that is—and began to read a Manga book.

We had school today. I still hadn't heard from Edward about the Vampirization. I got all the books I would need for school into my backpack. I also packed my sketchbook into it. I figured I could draw at school. We had been in Forks for a few months; it was really getting on in the school year.
I decided to ride with Jasper and Alice. Alice was driving and yakking to Jasper about something; she was talking too fast for me to tell what she was saying. Jasper just sat beside her silently; just listening to what she had to say. I didn't ride with Emmett and Rosalie because frankly, Rosalie scares me.
I started thinking about what the thirst would be like when and if I became a vampire. AD rid in the same car that I did. I didn't notice we had gotten to school until AD threw a wad of paper at me and it bounced off my forehead. "C'mon Austin, we're at school," He said loudly.
"I'm comin', I'm comin'," I said in a bored tone.

The classes went by so slow this morning. Thank god it was finally lunch time. Like usual, we sat at the same table as the Cullens as everyone else stared at the table and as Edward had once told me, wondered what made us so special. I glared at one of the staring people and he was taken aback at first, but then he glared back. I looked back down at my food and continued to eat. I noticed that people only stared when they thought we weren't looking. Little did they know, the Cullens eyesight was so good, they always saw the people staring at us.
All the girls had flocked to Edward and Emmett. My god, those people are such fan girls, I thought to myself. Edward chuckled a bit and the girls that had gone to him went in closer in hopes of learning why he chuckled. I looked over at Bella, who had an annoyed grimace on her pale face. She was obviously wishing that she could be alone with Edward.
I looked over to where AD was. He—along with a bunch of other guys—was staring at Rosalie from a distance. Sure they all thought Rosalie was hot, but they didn't want to get her or Emmett—especially not Emmett—mad in any way.

School was finally over and I went over to the small house that AD and I lived in. I was just about to go in when Edward came up. "It's time," he said; a calm mask on his face.
