The way that Alec was driving had me surprised that we even made it to school in one piece, I love him but he drives like a mad man and quite frankly it scared me.
I stumbled out of the car after Jane and dramatically dropped to my knees and began kissing the ground. Jane giggle and Alec let a growl rumble threw his chest before lifting me up and kissing my forehead. But even as he did that his irritation didn't dissolve in fact his pose became more rigged and tense. I turned to see the source of his agitation and felt myself tense when I saw the look all five Cullen "children" where giving me.
I couldn't help but think 'what the hell is their problem' when suddenly I was I remembered that I was supposed to go back over and visit with them yesterday night.
"Damn it" I cursed under my breath, "Alec, calm down it's my fault they are mad, I forgot I was supposed to go see them last night. I bet they are more than a bit upset about me standing them up. You would be too." His rigged pose turn gentle as he pulled me tighter to his chest and growled in the direction of the Cullen's before whisking me away to the schools office.
We left the office completely pleased with the whole story of our relation, Jane and Alec where twins and I was unofficially adopted by the family when I was "14". It was one of my more elaborate and dramatic stories which I told rather convincingly to the plump ugly lady behind the counter. She would be depressed for weeks by my families' misfortune which rendered us nearly family-less. Humans where simply too much fun!
Alec squeezed my hand as we headed off to class, Alec was to be joining me in my biology class and Jane was off to advanced chemistry. She was incredibly smart but what happened to simply blending in? I rolled my eyes as danced through the hallway gracefully weaving in out around the human children.
"Come on love, we wouldn't want to be late." Alec whispered in my ear I shivered as his breath tickled my ear. When we got into class I saw that Edward had his things strewn across the entire table obviously to keep my from sitting there, which was fine with me but irritated me, I didn't want him to have the satisfaction of me having to relocate so when the teacher pushed past me and Alec and ordered me to my chair I rudely dropped my things on the table and shoved his over to him in a head of pens, crinkled papers, and a bent binder. Oops I guess I used a little bit too much force when I shoved his junk over.
He growled under his breath and Alec kicked his chair, since the teacher seated him directly behind Edward. When Edward's eyes turned an unsettling shade of black I decided that maybe I should try one of those positive memory shoves I had be practicing recently.
"Edward" I whispered and when his eyes met mine his mind was instantaneously filled with a happy thought being pushed into his stubborn little brain, I could feel him fighting me at first, but resistance was futile so, I whispered for him to just let it wash over him, and for some odd reason he allowed me to. I played him a scene of himself sitting at the piano playing a beautiful tune I could barely place but for some reason pulled at my heart strings. The scene was played to him in third-person like someone else was watching, I closed the vision out and look towards the teacher again. I was hyper aware of both Edward and Alec staring intently at me.
If I could have blushed I would be tomato red. Half way through the lesson I could feel one pair of eyes still gazing intently at the side of my head. Ugh, so much for happy thoughts, I thought to myself only to have Edward whisper back to me, "what? Who are you talking too?"
I choked on my thoughts and turned to him, apparently I was thinking out loud again….
"Me, myself, and I we are having a wonderful conversation." I said too quickly and lowly for any human to hear.
He mumbled "oh" then thought for a second before blurting out what he really wanted to say, "How do you know that song?"
"Song? What song?" I asked him slowly. "The song that you just played me in my head, where did you hear it, how did you even know about it?" Edward asked rather quickly.
"uhm" I stumbled for words the spoke without thinking the first think that came to mind, "I-tunes…yeah that's where I-tunes, only 99 cents……" I let my sentence die there as soon as I realized what I was saying. Edward started at me like I was a ragging lunatic.
I turned back to Alec who raised his eyebrows at me like he was thinking the same exact thing. Embarrassed out of my mind I turned back to the front of the room and rested my head in my hands and let out a deep sigh.
The bell rang and I all but flew from my chair I didn't even bother to wait for Alec I just needed to get away from him and Edward.
On my way to my locker I ran into Alice, I was completely knocked to my bum, as I was looking back to see if either Edward of Alec was following me. She giggled a bit at me as I looked up at her but quickly put on an angry face. "Watch where you're going!" she said sternly before bursting out in laughter and then holding out a hand to help me up.
I gave her a quizzical look before taking her hand and as I soon as I was upright she spoke, "I cannot be mad at you Nicole, I have a feeling that we are going to be very close friends."
"You mean you had a vision?" I asked roughly since I refuse to become friends with my former best friend Alice Mary Cullen. She gave me a weird look probably wondering how I knew that she could see the future. "Let's just say we knew each other in another life Miss Mary Alice Brandon, and that vision of yours, I promise you that it will not under any circumstances become true. Even if no one ever bets against you I will!" I marched away leaving a very stunned Alice behind me.
