Hello people of the universe. It has been awhile… soz guys the reason for my not updating is the fact that me bffl Ella-Ava Rose AKA 'Affarie Ava Mai's computer broke down a few days after this story started. I didn't want to continue writing without her so I stopped writing. Thankfully she got a new computer for her 16th (can't believe she's 16 already) and now we can write although I won't be writing every day or anything. I need to be in a certain mood to write. Lmfao! :D

Another day of school: another day of purgatory.
At least that's what I thought until the Cullen's came into my life. Now it was as if everything that had happened before meeting the Cullen's had faded and didn't even matter anymore.
Which I knew was probably bad because I had a decent childhood that many unfortunate people would love to have. I knew it was best to try and remember my life as a human but I didn't see the point. My life was only going to get better as a vampire so why try to remember any previous lifestyle. To keep me humble?
Probably.
I would miss my mom though. And my dad. And Billy, Jake and all my friends from forks and phoenix. Knowing that the end was coming made you appreciate the time you had with the people you loved.
I talked to my mom at least twice a day now and instead of going to the Cullen's on the weekends I stayed at the house with Charlie, hanging out and just talking about the most boring of stuff, like the weather.
But that was just us, and I was going to miss every minute of it. I think that most things that I would like to remember are the little things: like my mom's middle name, or my first pet's name. If I forget something big then the Cullen's could just fill me in on it: but what if it was something so small and insignificant that Edward hadn't ever bothered to ask me and therefore he didn't know?
What then?
I guess I'd just have to deal with whatever I was given and be grateful like everyone always says you should be.
It's strange how when you have an eternity stretching out before you, your brain tends to go into overdrive instead of calming down and thinking 'well I have all eternity for thinking, so let's relax' but maybe that's just something I think of. And we all know that my brain works weird.
Even knowing that within a matter of months my whole life would be changing that didn't mean that my school or social life did. I still had to go to school and do the same thing every typical high school student did. Excluding sorting out plans with their vampire-boyfriend's sire/adoptive father about the best way to transform into a vampire yourself.
Yeah, everything except that.
Carlisle had suggested, in one of our many talks that I try and spend as much time as possible with each member of the family, individually. Something about walking up as a vampire and knowing more about people than their names and faces:
Which, granted, I didn't mind at all. I loved the Cullen's. They were all family:
even Rosalie.
But I was still hesitant at first. I knew Alice would be fine talking to. I knew practically everything about her already. But it was the others I worried about.
Esme would be okay I suppose but I was used to talking about cooking recipes and gardening with her. Not actual serious stuff. Same for Emmett and jasper.
Rose I just didn't talk to plural.
Now here I was after school, sitting down on the couch in the Cullen's sitting room, across the way from none other than beauty queen Rosalie Hale.
I mean she was gorgeous. It was totally obvious that everyone knew it too. And Emmett was very lucky. He had to know that because even if I wasn't sexually attracted to her, I sure as hell knew that if I was a guy I would be. Which is a weird topic of conversation but as already mentioned I am weird after all…
"So Rosalie" Carlisle started. "why don't you start off with telling Bella what kind of hobbies you like?" in case you're wondering everyone thought it best not to leave Rosalie alone with me. In case she got angry… And ate me.
"I like…" Rosalie stated, looking off at the scenery, outside the window. "Emmett, sex with Emmett, role-play with Emmett, angry forest sex with Emmett-" Carlisle quickly interrupted Rosalie telling her to say her real hobbies then apologizing to a red-faced me for her rude behaviour.
"Fine" she pouted, folding her arms. "I like cars, baseball, clothes and killing bambi"
"That's better Rosalie" Carlisle smiled happily. "Now Bella what do you like?"
"Umm" I hesitated. "I like reading, listening to classical music, history and photography" Carlisle smiled in encouragement. "What material do you enjoy reading Bella? He asked. "um, mostly Jane Austen. Shakespeare plays had a great plotline in a sense but all of his plays relate to one another which can get boring after a while so while I like him, he's very repetitive which gets annoying after a while." Rosalie had angled her head away from me but I could see her looking out of the corner of her eye. "Shakespeare was a jackass" she commented, suddenly.
Carlisle looked positively gleeful that we were interacting but all I could think to respond with was "you're not that old, are you?!" Carlisle's smile faded but Rosalie's head turned so that her eyes could assess me. She suddenly smirked "no Bella. I'm not that old. But even Shakespeare's plays were around then. We may not have used them in schooling but everyone had heard of his plays. And how anti-feminist he was. How he portrayed majority of female characters like overbearing, hyper children, demanding until they got what they wanted and drove their men to their deaths. Therefore, in my books, he was a jackass." I gaped at her because that, single alone, was the most amount of words Rosalie had ever uttered with me in the room. I was a bit frightened actually because I didn't know what to say next. Neither did Carlisle.
"And just so you know, Bella" Rosalie added "I like photography too."
Later that day…
The day slowly got weirder and weirder since my conversation with Rose ended. And yes I said Rose. Because apparently that's what all Rosalie's companions call her. This according to Edward meant that I was now being tolerated by her. And all because of Shakespeare.
After her comment on photography we hadn't really needed Carlisle anymore. He stayed, but didn't participate. And when we did run out of things to talk about photography we started a conversation about scenery, where the best pictures are to be taken, which lead to which was better portrait or landscape which lead to where in the world we wanted to go.
"I always wanted to go to Majorca" I replied to her question. She laughed slightly under her breathe. "Why Majorca, if I may ask?"
"Because the name sounds cool" I admitted, blushing to which was meet with a stunned silence for a minute before both vampires burst out in a laughter that echoed through the room.
Wiping fake tears from his eyes Carlisle announced that it was getting late and that we could continue our discussion some other time. Rosalie seemed to realise then that she was acting almost like a friend and stiffened up a bit but wasn't cruel when I said goodbye. She even said to have a careful trip home and she'd see me at school! It was so freaky!
On my way out I waved goodbye to Alice, jasper and Emmett and met Edward in his Volvo. After a quick drive home and an even quicker kiss goodbye I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, scoffed mine down and got ready for bed after cleaning up the dishes, eagerly awaiting Edward and what the next day would bring.
"Classes are fine, I'm learning the same old boring stuff as usual mom" I sighed as I picked up a piece of a pretzel Edward had pushed my way. "No mom Charlie is feeding me fine. Yeah Edward's fine too. So is his dad, yeah. No mom! I will not ask him what plastic surgeon he has!"
I sighed again as I looked over at the shaking forms of Edward, Alice, Jasper, Angela, Mike and Ben. Shaking my head I glared at them which caused Mike to lose it and burst out laughing while Angela took the more graceful approach and hid her face in her scarf, blocking her laughter.
"Listen mom, classes are going to start. Yes mom. I know not to drink the water from the science lab, I'd be a fool to tr- you did what!? Why would you drink that? Was it really sour? How long was it out of the fridge for? No, I'd say it's not safe to put it in your tea! Listen, I have to go. Love you too. Yes mom I'll make sure to ask. Yeah, okay bye now. I'm hanging up. Yeah, Bye. Bye. Yeah love you too-" I slumped over when our conversation finally finished.
Isabella Swan: first teenager to get grey hairs over her own mom's shenanigans.
"What did your mom want you to ask?" Alice asked, laughter in her eyes, knowing very well what my mom had questioned about.
"I'd rather not say-" I started, but of course they grew more insistent until, with yet another sigh I turned to Edward, blushing scarlet, and asked
"My mom wants to know which do you wear, boxers or briefs and also your preference in coloured lingerie." I mumbled slightly. Edward also looked embarrassed both quietly mumbled back
"boxers and no preference" to which had Mike chocking from laughter, Angela slightly fanning herself, and Ben clutching his hand to the table, while kneeling on the floor, looking like he was about to pee himself. Alice and Jasper just laughed until Alice let out a little squeal, stood up on the bench and announced in a surprisingly loud voice "it is official ladies. Edward Cullen wears boxers and likes all types of lingerie." Half the cafeteria fainted. No word of a lie.
Looking across the table I sighed because it was totally awkward now wasn't it?
"Um, so what's the plan for today?" I questioned Edward quietly so the other humans in the group couldn't hear him. I was so used to him telling me in advance what we were doing that I couldn't go anywhere anymore without knowing in advance.
"Today's Jasper's turn" he replied.
Well this was going to be fun. Notice sarcasm.
Haley- Okay so we literally are just putting the finishing touches onto this so we're updating it the day we've finished it. Slightly embarrassed to admit that Ella did most of the work for this. Lmao. I just didn't have the enthusiasm. God it's good having someone there that you can say 'okay you go write this chapter for me!'
Ella-Ava- Lucky Bitch! :p anyway so this is like a rush type coz my dad's telling me that I only have a few minutes left on the wifi, so I'll make this quick. REVIEW FOR MORE! :D
Haley- lmfao! The moment your co-writer goes over the end of chapter notes and corrects your own spelling of you name! its spelt 'Haley' not 'Hayley', Ella!
Ella-Ava- Sozzy 'Haley'! my bad! :p was thinking of Hayley from Paramore! Lol
Haley- it's okay, youre forgiven but seriously y'all you HAVE to review… just one… or two… or five….?
