So hey, it's the THIRD chapter. Meh, it's a bit longer then before, but not exactly UBER long. . Nothing really happens, just some... foreshadowing a bit. I hope you catch it, haha. It's not very hard, though. x
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or these wonderful characters. I wish I did though. D; But hey, who doesn't wish that?
"Ah yes, back to school again, for another year," Jasper said quietly while parking the car. The parking spot was at the back of the parking lot, but none of us really minded. The only thing we minded was to shove ourselves into the mandatory jacket for the weather that billowed around us. I definitely didn't need it, but I also didn't need the questions asked about why I wasn't wearing one.
"You look beautiful today," whispered Edward, as he held my hand, as we walked across the parking lot, making our way through the cars and trucks. I looked up at him, and smiled.
"Well, you look handsome today," I whispered back, happy that we were together.
I remembered when I was always comparing Edward and me to things, but now, it felt like we were equal. Yes, I wasn't as beautiful as Rosalie, but I definitely wasn't Bella Swan either. Not that I had a problem with how I used to look, I was just more… secure with the one I had now. Not that anything truly changed about me. My hair was still the same colour, but it was much more… luscious and able to do stuff "without so much trouble" for Alice, as she put it before. Yes, my eyes were no longer brown, but a bright topaz, which finally came after the red from my irises faded away, with the lack of human blood.
Not that I didn't kill a human. I did, much to the dismay of me. It was when I was a newborn, unable to control the thirst that overcame my body. Not even Emmett's favorite could crave the feeling that I had—it was too much. Edward, Alice, Emmett, Jasper and I were hunting, in a remote area that they thought was remote… But as Edward once said, once we let our senses took over; our minds weren't exactly… there.
There was a man, camping alone, for a reason none of us could understand… but he was there, and I killed him. Of course, they all tried to stop me, but with my newborn vampire strengths, I got them off. It was already too late for the man, once they caught up with me. The only comfort I got out of it was that he was alone.
It took awhile for Edward and me to get over it, but… so much longer for Edward. He felt it was his fault, that I killed a human; something that wouldn't have happened if I stayed human. It took awhile for me to convince him that it wasn't his fault, and he finally accepted it wasn't entirely his fault after many days of arguing with him. That wasn't definitely one of my favorite memories.
I sighed as I looked around. Alice and Jasper were walking slowly to their homeroom, not holding hands, but definitely not far away from each other. Edward was by my side, holding onto my hand, looking worriedly at me.
"Bella, are you okay?" he asked, moving himself in front of me. I had to raise my head to look up at him. Something that didn't change when I became a vampire was my height, something that I found sometimes bothersome.
"I'm okay, I'm just… remembering things," I finally let out slowly, looking into his eyes. Something flashed in his eyes when I said that…something that I didn't like.
"Edward, I'm not regretting the decision I made when I decided to become a vampire, nor am I remembering when I was human!" I said quickly, not wanting him to think that I regret becoming a vampire—which, I didn't. He looked at me closely, and gave me a hug.
"I know Bella, I'm just worried about you," he murmured quietly into my hair, my face against his chest. I was surprised when he said that. Worried about me? Why?
I pulled away, unwillingly, to look at him.
"Worried about me, but why?" I asked, curiously.
He looked at me before answering.
"Bella, Alice had a vision of you… regretting something. We don't know what, but she saw it. I assumed it was because you became a vampire…," his voice faded once he saw my face.
"You think I regret becoming a vampire?" I asked slowly, looking at him, waiting for a reaction. Nothing came.
"You think that I regret wanting to stay with my soul mate? You actually think that? How many times do I have to tell you, it isn't that?" my voice was rising, but not enough for anyone to truly hear what I was saying.
But, there was a pack of girls, who asked Edward out many times, who were close enough to see my face. Because, before I could finish the rant I had whenever Edward mentioned I was guilty, he moved to kiss my cheek.
"They think we're finally regretting the move to get married finally," he whispered fast and slow, acting like he was kissing me. I turned my head to look at them, and sure enough, they were walking away, talking amongst themselves, saying that I was probably wanting to not be with him anymore. I sighed.
"They just can't get that we're together, can't they?" I asked normally, once we resumed talking back to our homeroom. He smiled.
"They think that the spat and the look on your face were too much for me to handle," he replied quietly, looking back at me.
I looked back at him, and laughed.
"I guess they don't know you or me very well," I replied back, calmly, before breaking out into a smile.
Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward and I started the school year like any other school year. How I first noticed the Cullen's back in good ol' Forks High.
We sat alone, in the corner, at the bigger tables, far away as we could from the humans. Of course, near the beginning, there was always the braver humans, wanting, and attempting to befriend us, but we didn't let that happen. The only difference between the first views of the Cullen's and now, was that there were 6 of us, and that we had a good time together most of the time. But, this year, there was only the 4 of us, and we knew it'd be near the same as the previous years—nothing was going to change that much.
It wasn't like my senior year in Forks, where I sat with Angela, Mike, and Ben. There were no humans at this school that we talked to. We were isolated students, but that is what we preferred. Of course, that didn't stop the braver students from trying to ask us out, oh no. There was always the Jessica Stanley's, and the Mike Newton's at every high school; nothing changed there—unfortunately.
At last, Edward and I reached our homeroom. It was one of the smaller classrooms, but we didn't really mind. We sat in the middle of the class, unaware of the people around us. Good thing too, because they looked even more then they usually did, after every summer. I guess because Edward and I got married this summer, we were going to make out like some of the "going steady" couples did, a lot of the time.
But, like Alice and Jasper, we refrained from kissing except on the check in public—all we did was hold hands most of the time, but usually under the table. It wasn't that bad though—I didn't like for the guys to imagine it was them in Edward's place, and I extremely disliked when the girls imagined them in my place. It was frustrating.
After the bell rang, the teacher was taking attendance, and I took notice to his new teacher etiquette. He was nervous, I could tell, and he was even more nervous at the fact there was two beautiful students in his class. How? He kept on looking at us and then looking away nervously and for Edwards smile whenever he did to that.
"Edward Cullen?" the teacher asked, taking me out of my thoughts. His name always did that.
"Here," replied Edward, his voice like velvet, compared to the girls voice before him. Her voice always cracked, whenever he was in her class, because she knew she'd be right before him. I sighed, and looked at him. He was raising his eyebrows, with a smile.
"Isabella Cullen?" the teacher asked, nervous this time. Why would he be nervous?
"It's Bella, and I'm here," I replied, taking my eyes off of Edward to look at the teacher. He blinked before he put an X to my name.
"Thank you," he fumbled, before moving next to the new name.
"He's confused at why we are holding hands," Edward whispered into my ear, answering my puzzled face. I sighed, and turned to look at him.
"Did he think we were brother and sister?" I laughed quietly at that fact.
Edward and I looked different from each other. From our hair, to our body types, but of course, there was the similarities that confused me even when I first the Cullen's; the way they were all exactly alike. The skin tones, and the features, straight and perfect.
As the class resumed, Edward and I silently listened and took notes. Even though Canadian History was something Edward and I both studied before, we still took the notes. Nothing like taking notes that we already took. As the class was coming to a closure, the door opened.
I was surprised. Who comes to this late on the first day? I looked over at Edward, and I already knew it was going to be something not that good. He was tensed, and was already looking at me.
Hey, it's a CLIFFHANGER. Oh, who is going to be at the door? Is it going to be someone from their PAST, or is it going to be some random vampire? Ohh, I wonder who it shall be.
Thanks for those who put my story on their watch list, and for the few that put me on their favorite author! I was surprised, but I liked it. x
Anyways, I'm off. I'll update as soon as I can.
OY. I'm sorry for the thing about Bella's power. She didn't get some cool thing like Alice, Jasper and Edward has. Her private mind was just like... more enhanced. She can just cut out what is going around her, and nothing can really get her out of it, well... except Edward.
Sorry for it being confusing.
Oh, they're taking Canadian History cause they're living in Canada for this fanfiction. I know more about the Canadian education system then the US or anywhere else.
