A Random Little Note from the Author
Thank you everyone!!! Love you all for reviewing and for the great ideas. This one is dedicated to LilMissJules, as it was her idea.
I am now promising to you that I will try to update at least twice a week, unless I'm on holiday, in which case I shall tell you. I have been very bad and erratic recently (mainly down to a school play) but if I have time in the holidays I have no excuse. You are my witnesses.
Bella POV
I remember the day I approached him well. It had been a normal day at school. For everybody apart from me. I could not sit still knowing that across from me was a freak of nature. A creature unnaturally pale who traditionally dresses in black.
Finally it was lunchtime. I was impatient to tell him my findings. Tell him was probably a loose term, yell at him and scream, probably closer. I ran into the forest knowing that he would follow me. He did.
"I know what you are"
My words echoed around the empty silent place.
I heard him draw nearer as his footsteps squelched in the mud. The mud that was everywhere, here in rainy Forks.
"Say it. Out loud. Say it"
Ok, I thought, this is getting a bit out of proportion. I'm only going to tell him an idea I have. No need to be melodramatic.
"Goth"
There was a moment of silence then he replied,
"Was that obvious?"
I have to admit it. I kind of lost it a bit here. He was being so dramatic. And now he wanted to know whether it was obvious that he was a Goth. Something about the impossible coloured hair, reluctance to come out in sunshine and pale skin might have given him away.
"What are you, an imbecile as well? Of course you're a Goth you're even paler than me, and you never ever go out in the sun. What a stupid question…"
I continued in this manner for some time, and when I turned around he was gone. Ugh, he gave me the creeps. I would much rather have to go to the prom with Mike Newton than repeat that experience.
