Annabelle's POV
Oh my GOD!
I have to go to gym with uncle EMMETT?!
This can not be happening. This can not be happening. This can NOT be happening!
Dad just chuckled under his breath and led me outside, and waited for uncle Emmett with me. It took him like 5 minutes to get here, and when he did, he patted me on the back. Well, I'm sure that was his intention, but it came out as a smack.
"Ready for gym?" he asked, and I nodded my head slowly. I will not die. Hopefully?
"See ya later, Eddie!" uncle Emmett called over his shoulder. We left dad struggling to hold back laughter.
We got to gym fairly quickly. We went through the cousin routine and got badminton rackets from a cart nearby.
Everyone was practicing today, so we started smacking the birdie around. It was actually really fun, uncle emmett proved to be a great challenge. Luckily, my awesome batting skills came in handy then.
By the end of the class, we were half dead from laughter. Uncle Emmett had hit the birdie hard enough that it made a hole in the gym wall. It was hilarious watching him scramble around looking for something to cover it up with.
We put the rackets away and said goodbye. He gave me directions to my homeroom, which I had with dad, and I made my way there quickly. I met him in front of the door, and I followed him inside and to our seats.
The teacher gave us the period to read or talk, so I turned to dad.
"So, how was your day?" I asked, and he shrugged.
"Fine. Same old same old. How was yours?" he asked, and I shrugged back. Then my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out and read the text:
"TheRose: Hi Annabelle! What's up?"
I laughed, and let dad read the text. He chuckled, and I texted back:
"IControlYou: Not much. Just sitting here talking to dad. What's up over there?"
We waited for the next buzz:
"TheRose: Nothing exciting. We're having free time, as I assume you are too."
I sighed, and replied:
"IControlYou: Yeah, we are. What's uncle Emmett doing?"
I remembered they had the same homeroom. A few minutes later, my phone buzzed again, and we read the text.
"GummyBear: Hey Annabelle!"
I had to hold back screaming with laughter.
"IControlYou: Uncle Emmett! What's up with your IM name?"
I mean, seriously. Teddy bear fit him perfectly, but gummy bear?!
"GummyBear:Hey, gummy bears were my favorite snack when I was growing up. What about yours?"
I shrugged. He had a point.
"IControlYou: My brothers got a hold of my cell phone and decided my power needed to be seen by everyone who texts me."
I hissed under my breath when I remembered what my brothers did. I had just put my name in the phone when I got it, but when I went out hunting, they took it and changed my name.
"GummyBear: Well, it fits, I guess. Tell your dad to text me."
I showed dad the text, and he got out his phone. Man, what is with texting in this family?
"IControlYou: Hey, aunt Alice. What's going on over there?"
I texted aunt Alice, and I hoped she was having free time, too.
"Shopping-Pixie: We're having free time in our homeroom. Are you?"
Wow, everybody is having free time. I was loving this school already.
"IControlYou: Yeah, we are. Mr. GummyBear and I have been texting back and forth. Other than that, all is normal."
I'm pretty sure I could hear her laughing, but I couldn't be sure.
"Shopping-Pixie: Him and those damn gummy bears. He used to actually try and eat them, but stopped when he realized he'd probably kill himself from gagging. Hold on, your uncle Jasper's going to text you now."
Wow, another person texting me. Shocker. Then dad showed me the text uncle Emmett had sent him:
"GummyBear: Hey, did Annabelle tell you about the gym incident? Because if she did, it was an accident!"
I laughed, and he gave me a strange look.
"What gym incident?" he asked.
"Uncle Emmett tried to beat me at badminton, and hit the birdie so hard it made a hole in the wall." I tried to remain calm, but I was laughing too hard by the end. Then my phone buzzed.
"JazzyTheCowboy: Hey, Annabelle. What's going on?"
I laughed even harder at uncle Jasper's IM name that uncle Emmett's.
"IControlYou: JazzyTheCowboy? That's very original."
I could just envision him sighing, or maybe I was actually hearing this. I'm pretty sure they're too far away for me to hear, so maybe I'm crazy.
"JazzyTheCowboy: Your aunt Alice changed it."
I know what that feels like.
"IControlYou: Ah."
Then the bell rang, and me and dad got our stuff together and went out to his car. We waited until the others came from their classes.
"Hey, gummy bear!" I called, and his booming laughter echoed off the trees. We greeted each other, and my phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered. Man, I really need to start checking the caller I.D.
"Hey, Annabelle. I lost my fishing rod, and I was wondering if you could go over to my friend Billy's place and get a spare one?" grandpa Charlie asked.
"Sure, no problem." of course it was no problem, but I really wanted to go home. Grandpa Charlie gave me Billy's directions and I started twisting my chain from grandpa Carlisle in my fingers. Man, I couldn't keep my hands off the thing.
"Alright, see ya soon." I said, and hung up.
"What was that about?" aunt Rose asked, and I stuck my phone back in my pocket.
"Oh, grandpa Charlie just wants me to get a spare fishing rod from his friend Billy's place in La Push." I told them, and they all exchanged looks.
"What?" okay, what was I missing now?
"We can't go to La Push. There's a treaty that keeps us off their land." uncle Jasper explained. I "oh"-ed. We were all deep in thought for a minute until I came up with an amazing idea, if I do say so myself.
"I got it! What if I don't tell them I'm a Cullen? I'm sure I'll tell them I'm a Swan, but I don't have to tell Billy I'm a Cullen!" it was so obvious!
"That's a great idea! But you're Annabelle Swan to them, got it?" uncle Emmett directed. I nodded.
"I'll go back to the house with dad and get my car." I said, and we left. The drive home was silent, and when we got home, I turned to him.
"Alright, I'm going, see you soon." I said goodbye, and got into my car. It felt unfamiliar and it had been a while since I've been in my baby. I started the engine and backed down the driveway.
Luckily, I managed to remember the address grandpa Charlie had given me, and got there easily. I parked in front of the small house, and rang the doorbell.
Teehee there's another cliffy! Hope ya enjoyed it!
