Chapter 6

Setting In

I decided to run to school by myself this morning…I needed to think I needed to analyze.

Of course that the time that I was transformed into a vampire it had to be the time I was obsessed with playing "detective." When we are transformed our interests, likes, and dislikes don't change

I didn't even stop to say hi to my siblings I was going to be quiet today. I wanted to try a new experiment anyway. I wanted to see if I could go all day without talking…well only answering to people who spoke to me first and answering in only a two letter sentence. It also didn't surprise me that Edward was talking to Bella (as usual when he came in in the morning).

I walked past the main office and saw the swabs used for blood tests and then I saw one labeled "period 5 Banner." That wasn't a good sign it meant that they were probably doing blood testing during bio. I would have to tell Edward at lunch (that is if he was speaking to me yet).

When I reached AP algebra I was forced to sit down next to Cassie Cook who always copies off of my paper and is always asking me if Jasper is still going out with Alice.

"Hey Hazel" she said as I sat down.

"Hi Cassie" I said trying to sound polite.

"So did Jasper and Alice break up or something because I heard Rose saying that…" Rose! Oh so now they were on nickname basis. Rosalie would get a kick out of that. The only one that called her Rose was Emmett.

"No Cassie Jasper and Alice are still going out" I said in a bored tone.

"Oh OK I thought Alice and Rose told each other everything though?" Cassie asked.

"We tend not to talk about each other's love lives" I said still trying to hide my irritation since it was obvious I was the only one in my family forever alone.

"Speaking about love life is it true that Edward asked the chief's daughter Isabella Swan out?" Cassie asked.

"Um…not that I know of" I said.

"Really but I thought that you and Edward were really close?" Cassie asked.

Now I'm getting frustrated.

"Yeah I guess but like I said we don't talk to each other about our love lives" I repeated and Cassie just rolled her eyes.

"Do you mind if I copy off of your homework I was too busy taking pictures last night with my friends to do work?" Cassie asked.

"Sure…why not maybe you shouldn't ask me anymore I think you can just take it" I said and Cassie glared at me.

In gym it wasn't much better I was mocked by my whole team while we were playing basketball

"What's the matter can dwarf not reach the net?"

"Is little dwarf gonna cwy?"

"Does dwarf need to go to counseling again?"

I didn't even do anything I just took it and started thinking about how much Cartman harassed Kyle. I needed a refreshing view of South Park when I got home.

Biology and Politics classes passed without any problems and then I got to lunch. Lunch was the place where my siblings and I "conformed" together. Yes the only time I ever conform with people is when I'm with my siblings but that's different.

So anyways I walked into the cafeteria and stare around. I try to not notice the way Jenna Bright is looking at me. I try and not notice the way she starts banging her fork and knife on the table and starts shouting. "DWARF! DWARF!"

I am relieved when Emmett steps in and says "HEY! I'm the only one who's allowed to call her that!" except he says it as if he's joking but serious at the same time. That gets Jenna to shut up.

"Thank you" I mutter in a voice too low for humans to hear.

"You're welcome…dwarf" he says and I slug him.

"I just saved your ass big time so I get to do whatever I want…word" Emmett said.

"No and stop trying to act so cool because you got swog…that's word" I said and he shook his head.

Alice, Jasper and Rosalie were already at the table and we were waiting for Edward to come it was a while before anything happened so I tracked him and was amused but shocked to find that he was sitting at another table…with Bella Swan!

I looked at him and thought what the fuck are you doing? I thought you couldn't be around her he just raised his eyebrows in a "there's more to the story" type of way. I then remembered biology.

"Oh yeah there's a blood lab in biology today…saw the boxes in the office. Make sure you ditch" I looked across the cafeteria for his reaction and he just smirked and nodded.

"What are you doing?" Bella asked him.

"Nothing" Edward said casually and I was on the verge of laughing while Edward just shook his head at me.

Bella followed his gaze and saw me. Just to annoy Edward and to be polite I waved and she waved back.

"I think he's using you" Rosalie said.

"Nah he wouldn't do that" Jasper mumbled.

"He's using the 'use the cute sister' technique to get the girl" Emmett said "although it should be use the annoying dwarf technique." And I slugged him again while Alice just laughed.

"Oh my gosh did you catch the new episode of Project Runaway last night?" Alice asked Rosalie who nodded.

"Amazing as usual" she said while my brothers and I rolled our eyes.

"Can you please talk about something interesting" Emmett asked.

"Not Sport Prank!" Rosalie snapped.

"SOUTH PARK!" Emmett and I shouted together.

"Oh good grief did you see the way Katie George told Lisa Carlen to quote 'stop acting like a loser'" Alice asked Rosalie (again).

"Boring" Emmett pretended to cough.

"I know we've got to teach her a lesson." Rosalie said.

"Consider it already done" Jasper muttered.

"What?" Rosalie and Alice asked together and Jasper just smirked.

"During Science I made her fall asleep and hit her head on the back of the chair and wake up when it was the next period…ha" he said.

"Um that's not nice" Emmett said imitating Alice who wacked him.

"Nice" I said high fiving her.

"Who told you to talk?" Emmett said this time imitating Rosalie who wacked him again and then he pretended to cry.

The bell rang for next period and I had to go to art to suffer. I figured I would ditch health since I did not need to hear another lecture about 'being safe' and shit.

My siblings and I met in our usual spot since I told them that Edward would be about five second late since he was dropping Bella off at her house. She had gotten sick from the blood typing thing.

I got into the car first since I knew that Bella's scent was likely to be there. Edward jumped when he heard the door open.

Ha I got you this time, there's a first I thought and he smirked.

"Dude, I bet Mrs. Goff thinks you're on drugs because you've been so erratic lately." Emmett said coming in.

"How was your ride in the car with the girl?" Emmett asked.

"Pleasant" Edward said sarcastically.

Emmett took a deep breath "she has quite a scent does she."

Edward growled a little and I had never seen him do that when Emmett said something about someone smelling good.

"Easy I was just saying" Emmett held his hands up defensively and I rolled my eyes…brothers.

The others got into the car and Edward handed Alice the keys to Bella's truck.

"Real smart to ditch class" he said ruffling my hair since I was in the passenger seat.

"Oh like you're one to talk" I said rolling my eyes.

"Yeah but you skipped the most important class I mean think about everything you may have missed…" Edward began but I cut him off.

"Well I guess we'll never know the 'important' stuff I missed in health class…a class you need to take for your drug problems." I said shoving him.

"Uh I'm driving…gosh I need to be careful." Edward said imitating Alice and my brothers laughed.

"Good girl" Rosalie said ignoring Edward's comment.

"Can I put in my new rock CD?" I asked Edward.

"No" Edward said.

"Why?" I whined.

"Because"

"Because why"

"Because it's my car and I control the music"

"Well then" I said and Rosalie laughed.

"I'm watching South Park when I get home." I said and Emmett smirked.

"Well we're taking a detour first" he said and gestured to where Edward was driving. I rolled my eyes since I kind of figured this was coming.

When we got home I went to my room and flipped on the television. I wasn't supposed to be watching TV until I had all of my work done but I didn't care today. A new episode was on it was the one about Kyle's cousin Kyle coming back to help the team lose in baseball. As I was laughing at how Stan's dad kept fighting and the song "You're the best around" kept playing I heard the piano…Edward.

I went downstairs and went to sit by the staircase while watching my brother at the same time. I knew he liked to be alone when he was composing.

"I think you should write one for Bella" I thought to him and he smiled and looked at me before nodding. I guess he had been thinking the same thing. He patted the seat next to him and I walked over. I leaned my head on his shoulder as I watched him compose.

Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, and Alice came over to watch as well "Are you going to tell them?" I asked.

"They already know it's going to happen anyway so why not let it go on a little longer" Edward said in a voice too fast for anyone other than me to hear.

Alice started playing along with Edward and I watched as well. After a while Edward played Esme and Carlisle's song.

"Oh yeah guess what Jasper? Peter and Charlotte are coming to visit on Monday" Alice said cheerfully. I felt my brother's shoulders tense.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"They're coming to Forks?" he asked nervously.

"Relax it's not their first visit" Alice said.

Edward sighed and I knew what he was thinking. Alice did too "They never hunt here you know that" she said.

Edward muttered something that I couldn't hear "Do you want to go early?" he asked Emmett since they had plans to go hunting.

"I thought we were going tomorrow morning?" Emmett asked.

"We're coming back by midnight Sunday it's up to you when you want to leave." Edward said and I just shrugged.

"Okay fine let me say goodbye to Rose first." Emmett said.

"Then say goodbye to Cartman." I said jokingly and Edward shook his head while rolling his eyes.

"Who the fuck names their kid Cartman?" Rosalie asked.

"His real name is Eric they just call him Cartman" I said.

"ROSE! Watch your language!" Esme scolded her and Edward just looked at her smugly. I wacked him.

"What?" he asked.

"You know what." I said and he just scowled.

After Edward and Emmett left the house got quiet (didn't it always). Jasper and I played a game of chess and Alice kept whispering to him what move I was going to make next.

"Could you not?" I asked her.

"Sorry" she said.

After chess Rosalie and Alice begged me to watch Mean Girls with them and I agreed since it was a funny movie. "You go Glen Coco!"

I spent the next day playing my guitar then watched some First 48 hours with Jasper and Alice. Although Alice kept commenting about what was happening because she could see what would happen.

When midnight on Sunday came I was excited to see my brother again. He didn't come home. Emmett did but not Edward. I sat there waiting all night but he still didn't come. I was confused yet angry. I tracked him…he was at Bella's house. It figures. He was watching her sleep.

My brother really had flipped.

Then the reality once again set in that I wasn't really a person…just a dwarf. Maybe Rosalie was right maybe Edward was just using me so Bella would like him but he never did that…he wouldn't do that.

I sat in my room and played the guitar some more. I put on my IPod and listened to my playlist. After that I went on my computer and started making some DJ mixes on my computer.

I didn't see Edward until Wednesday. We weren't supposed to go to school since it was sunny on Monday and Tuesday.

Edward secretly followed Bella around for those both days making sure she was OK because Peter and Charlotte were in the area.

I went hunting on Monday but on Tuesday I did nothing…literally nothing. I went on the vampire accessible only website trying to see if any vampire my age was created and was single. I didn't find anything but I didn't think I was trying.

I was just going to have to accept the fact that I was forever alone. It was good that Edward and I had each other while everyone else had a mate but now that he found Bella I was sent back to the recycle bin.

I was happy for Edward though…I was. I was always happy for someone else whenever good stuff happened to them. I was just wondering when my turn would come? It seemed like I just had bad karma.

Karma was a bitch sometimes.

I went on my blog that had a bunch of quotes on it.

"Karma's a bitch get over it" I wrote and silently it was a message to myself.

Sometimes I felt like I was stumbling through my life. Like I could never find a stable place to be. I was searching for something but I wasn't sure what…now I was.

After being all lonely for such a long time I was finally starting to change. I was never like most kids my age and I guess now it proved it.

I quickly pushed the thoughts out of my mind. I couldn't wallow in my sorrow forever.

I walked past Edward's room and heard him talking to himself "Bella isn't mine now but I have to be her protector…at least temporarily."

My eyes widened…Edward had promised me that he would be that to me from the day I was born…was he forgetting about it. It sure looked so now.

I knew I was just jealous because I didn't have a life and now Edward did but I was allowed to be…angry right.

I jumped out the window of my room. I needed to kill something and fast before I went on a rampage killing innocent being. I suddenly remembered that I had a report for politics that was due tomorrow. I would work on that…get my frustration out that way…haha.
