Dia Cullen
She's 15. She's half-vamp. And she's running with the Cullens.
"So how was your first day, Dia? I hope your afternoon classes were better," Emmett asked.
He took my backpack away from me and ignored my shocked expression.
He was not going to give it back anyway so I let it drop.
"Sure, it was better," I said acidly.
"Ooh, that's Dee's sarcastic tone. I know better," Rosalie said amused.
She adjusted the mirror and was ready to start the engine.
"It was terrible. My History teacher was a total jerk-embarrassing me in front of the class. He made me look really dumb-making comments like this girl can't answer a 5th grade question. Hello? I did not grow up with British History in my vocabulary. I lived in a totally different world. Speaking of which, Edward, I'm not from China."
"I didn't have time to read your mind. You never told us where you come from," Edward pointed out defensively.
"Because you might attack my family. I don't trust you as much as I trust the others. Moving on," I waved my hand in dismissal. "Edward did settle everything. Miss Maud's going to tell me the final decision tomorrow."
"Mmm. You're going to get Music. I can see it now," Alice smiled.
"Sweet! Can't be that bad. I might even sign up for a broad way musicale!" I cheered up right away.
Edward cleared his throat. "Speaking of which, little freak, why didn't you tell us this? You saw it coming, didn't you?"
"Yes," Alice answered casually. "So?"
"So? So, she could've avoided all these troubles!"
"Admit it, you're still guilty for having to torture Miss Maud!"
"You tortured Miss Maud, Edward? Oh, you dazzled her, didn't you? How could you? I've never felt so betrayed in my entire life!" Bella shrieked dramatically.
"Bella, love, I was only doing it for Dia. It was for the best. I didn't mean to-"
Bella broke into a huge laugh and everyone joined her.
"Guess what, everybody?" I asked-all perked up by this afternoon's laughter.
We were near the house now.
"What?" they asked in a chorus. Except Edward.
"So this is how you thank me, huh?" he grumbled.
"Come now, big brother. Be a good sport. Anyways, I have good news for you, Edward. I have 3 classmates who have a huge crush on you. What's more? You turned my Science teacher on!"
We all laughed at him some more.
Jasper and Emmett were laughing crazier than we all were and they teased him and exchanged hi-5's with each other.
Bella was nudging at him and he crossed his arms stubbornly.
"Edward, Dia was only kidding," she murmured.
"Right," he mumbled.
"I wasn't!"
And another round of laughter started.
Bella kissed Edward for a really long time I felt my stomach twist. Eww. Two people making out in front of me. Technically, I'm still not allowed into R18 movies.
When they finally stopped, he whispered, "That's two this afternoon."
"I'll make it up tonight," she replied and touched the tip of his nose with one swift finger.
"That's a great way of making up," Emmett commented. "Rose, we should fight more often."
Rosalie just glared at him and drove us to the front of the house.
I still couldn't believe how close the resemblance was to the previous house we had in America.
It was a house built in the last century, white, 3-storied.
Simple but exquisite.
And it certainly didn't look like a home for a family of vampires.
There was a medium-sized fountain in front of it and a manicured lawn with sprinklers on.
No one would expect.
"Esme?" Edward called as we all filed in the huge living room.
She emerged from the kitchen with an apron on.
"You're cooking?" Emmett asked.
"Dia's dinner. So, how was school? Let's start one-by-one. You start, Jasper," Mrs. C led us to the couches.
"Fine," Jasper shrugged.
"Okay," Rosalie stepped out of the cupboard which was really a secret passage leading to the basement.
"Nothing special," Emmett continued.
"Fun!" Alice jumped.
"Hmm," Bella pursed her lips.
"About that ..." Edward began.
"I was afraid of that," Mrs. C shook her head.
"Wait, I'll tell her," I said.
"Tell her what?" Dr. C asked-coming in from the open door.
Mrs. C stood up and they kissed each other on the cheek. Very appropriate in front of their children.
"I know that look," Dr. C teased.
"I uh ..." I rubbed my forehead. "I just had a mild urge to kill my History teacher, that's all."
