Graduation

I woke up the next morning with sunlight filtering in through my window. I reached out and stretched looking for Jacob but only felt my covers and a letter. I smiled. Yet again another letter.

Dear Bells,

Congrats.

Love,

Your Jake

Congratulations? I looked over at my calendar. June 18th. Graduation day. I smiled. Jake remembered. He actually remembered. I got up and went to my closet and opened it. Dammit! Those vampires took all of my nice clothes!

"Need help?"

I turned and gasped only to find Alice perched on my window.

"You scared me. Some help would be nice."

She threw me a black plastic bag. I opened it and inside there were at least five outfits.

"Oh, Alice you are a life saver!" she smiled.

"I know." She said but she looked a little guilty.

"What?"

"Ok ,well you can keep the outfits if… you let me do your hair, make-up, and let me pick which one you wear." She said so quickly it took me a minuet to decipher her words.

I really didn't like being a human Barbie but I did need the clothes.

"All right Alice but don't go to over the top please." She squeaked with excitement.

She reached into the bag and pulled out a nice blue dress with some black flats.

"Ok, I want you to wear this under the robe." She pulled output some pale brown foundation, some eyeliner, mascara, and pink lipstick. " I will do the make up for you, and yes I promise not to go over the top." She added when she saw my expression. Lastly she pulled out some silver hair pins, a hairbrush, a comb, and some hairspray out of the bag. " Then I will do your hair." She added looking quite pleased with herself.

I looked at the bag one more time and gave a sigh. " Well, lets get started." I said in a sarcastic enthusiastic voice.

Alice bounced up. "Ok, go put on the dress and I'll take care of the rest." I obeyed orders and she headed to the bathroom.

I went into the bathroom to find that it had been transformed into the same salon as before I went to the prom. Then I was attacked by Alice as she clapped her hands over my eys.

"Alice!"

"I want you to get the full affect of the dress and hair and make up. Now I will sit you in the chair and turn you around and then when I'm done I'll take you to your room and let you look in your long mirror so you can see yourself." She said as she lead me to a chair and spun me.

I felt her get to work immediately. She chattered away for about 20 minutes until I remembered my dream.

"Alice." I said interrupting her. " I had this odd dream last night. I was in a forest but it looked more tropical than the rest of Forks. I saw this guy vampire that was in some of my other dreams –"

"You had dreams about a guy vampire?" Alice interrupted.

"Yes he was in this dream I had and he killed Charlie and sucked his blood and then he tried to attack me but I woke up. Anyways he was in this cave and he was talking to someone. It took me a while to figure out who he was talking to but then I heard her voice and it was…" My stomach twisted with fear at the sound of her name. "Victoria." I whispered.

"This got me thinking. Alice, I think Victoria is behind the whole thing. I mean she was James's mate and she is seeking revenge on me. She knows that she can't beat you alone so she is just creating a bunch of vampires with tremendous strength to help deal with you so she can take me out."

As what I said registered with Alice I saw realization in her eyes and knew I was right.

"Bella, we can't tell Edward or Jacob about this. Not until after your graduation. They are going to freak out." She said mechanically and then clapped her hands over my eyes again and lead me to my room.

"On the bright side you look beautiful. And this is coming from a vampire." She said and then took her hands away from my eyes. I have to say she was right. The dress she picked hugged my body in all of the right places giving me an hourglass shape. The v- neckline went low and showed off just enough of my cleavage so I didn't look to sluty but I also didn't look to modest. The color of the dress also would go great with our sky blue graduation gowns. I moved up to the make up. The foundation gave me a little color once again so that the eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick didn't come on to strong. Last but not leas my hair was put up into a cone. Then my bangs were elegantly braided and pinned into the cone of hair. Then the extra pins were placed in random spots in my hair so that it shimmered. It blew me away.

"Alice." I whispered.

"Do I even need to say it?" I asked.

"No. I know I did good and you're welcome." She said as I started to say thank you.

"Well I better get myself ready. I'll see you at graduation.!" She said and then jumped out of the window.

"Bells. You ready to go." My dad knocked on my door.

"Coming dad." I said back.

I opened the door and my dad smiled. You look beautiful Bella. My little girl is grown up." He said and I could have sworn I saw tears in his eyes. "Come on. Jacob's waiting." He said as he lead my down the stairs. Thank god Alice gave me flats this time.

Jake's reaction was just about the same as my father's. A gasp and a complement. As we all piled into the police cruiser my dad was chattering away just like Alice. He was rambling on about how I had grown up so fast and remembering me making mud pies with Jacob and now we were dating and a bunch of other stuff. I was so happy to get out of that car I will tell you that.

When I got to the quad some deranged short teacher was placing students in alphabetical order. I was next to Jessica naturally. She squealed on and on about how she wished we could have been friends longer and things like that. I had so much on my mind I could only hear certain words but luckily with her she does most of the talking.

Finally the music began and the principal began calling names. It was about 10 minutes into the ceremony when Alice's name was called along with Jasper's and Edward's. It was quite amusing considering they all had different expressions on. Alice's was rather determined, Jaspers was concentrated, and Edward's was… well Edward's was confused.

After another 15 minutes I heard my name being called and walked onto the stage. I grabbed the diploma and shook the principle's hand.

"Congratulations." He whispered.

I smiled and walked off stage. I did it. I was done! I had graduated high school!

Sorry it is so short. I promise i will try as hard as i can to get something up soon!

Please Review!:D
