Chapter 2 – Seriously, Edward
"We are not going on camp," Rosalie fumed. "Emmett McCarty Cullen! If you make me go anywhere near that stupid place, I swear..." her threat trailed off. I cringed into Edward.
"Do we have too?" I asked. He looked down at me, curious.
"You're siding with Rosalie?" he asked in disbelief. I turned away.
"Students, please," the principal started. "Now as you leave the gym, take a permission form and the information sheets. You are dismissed, go to class," we stood up and were out the door before anyone else. Rose and I hadn't gotten forms, but I knew that Edward and Emmett would have picked ours up. I stomped off to English and took a seat at the back of the class, next to the wall. Edward sat next to me and pulled me into a hug against his shoulder. Alice shuffled a table and chair over, so she wouldn't have to sit next to some creepy kid. The rest of the class came in and gawked at us, me now sitting on Edward's lap. How had I gotten there? I was angry with him.
"Sorry love, but you're so cute when you're angry," Edward murmured into my ear. He bit my earlobe gently and I giggled.
"Gross guys," Alice said, disgusted. "Emmett's Jeep is empty, go there between classes," she huffed at us. We laughed, causing everyone to look at us. I slid off Edward's lap as the teacher came in. She introduced herself as Mrs Cheney, and I wondered if she was Ben and Angela's granddaughter. Probably, she seemed nice like them. However, when she announced that our book was Wuthering Heights I decided to ignore her. Sure I liked the book, but I didn't have to listen to her. I could recite the whole thing.
"Edward," I whined. He looked at me. "I don't want to go camping," I complained. I had looked at the note quickly. We were going to Goat Rocks, we'd keep the bears away, and we were staying for ten days. There was no electricity, the only water was the river, and all the girls were in one tent and the boys in another. The ten days would be hard for none of us, except if someone hurt themselves, and there was bound to be one clumsy person in one hundred and eighty.
"Bella, don't you think it'll be fun?" he asked.
"Seriously, Edward; you think this will be fun?" He nodded. "Okay, so a bunch of humans and Rose, Alice and I in a massive tent, and we can't sleep. We have to eat something in ten days, they'll get suspicious. I don't get to see Nessie for ten days. There will be no sex, which you know will totally kill Emmett in one day, think about the rest of us in ten. There is no closet big enough for Alice, and no car to generate electricity. Honestly, how do you think we'll survive?"
"We are resourceful vampires love, I'm sure we'll find a way around the, uh, problems." He and I both knew he was losing, and I smiled. There was no way on earth I was going camping.
I was still very much like the human Bella, but when you live with two shopping-addicted girly-girls for sixty years, it kind of rubs off on you. I couldn't stand mud, dirt on my clothes or getting my hair messed up. I was basically afraid of dirt, something that the boys, Jacob and Seth all laughed about constantly.
"Edward, Alice would agree that camping is a bad idea. Check the future," I ordered. We both turned to Alice, who concentrated for a second. She grimaced.
"Sorry, can't see," she replied in a high, musical voice. "I think Nessie or a wolf intend on coming to school," she added, seeing Edward's face. She didn't have to say it, of course, but I hated when they shared silent conversations. I couldn't stand the intimacy of it; it was my thing to do.
"Uh, I hate half-breeds," Edward exclaimed, way too loudly for our conversation. Everyone turned to stare at him. Alice and I laughed.
"Mr Masen, could you please tell me what is going on here?" the teacher asked. She seemed a little annoyed, in a did-you-interrupt-me way. Oh, she would get it.
"I'm sorry Miss, we were talking about dogs," he said. He dazzled her at the same time; I heard her heart rate go up about ten times. "It does seem to fit with that story of course," he added politely. I was so glad he was mine; he seemed so perfect just then.
"Yes, of course," she left us alone. The class ended, and two girls walked up to us. They had peroxide blonde hair, short skirts and clingy tops. For god's sake, this was Forks!
"Hey," they said seductively to Edward. He rolled my eyes. "I'm Ally, what's your name?"
"Hi, I'm Edward, this is my girlfriend Bella and my cousin Alice," he said. They stepped back on girlfriend. They paused, so Edward relayed their thoughts at vampire speed.
"He's hot, and I'm prettier than her," he said mimicking her annoying tone. "I thought they were siblings?" he said in another voice. We stood up and walked away, leaving them shocked.
I went to gym, extremely irritated. Alice was a little behind me. We went to the change rooms, where she provided me with a Gucci tracksuit and sneakers, and we went out to the room. It still stank, like always. We were picked for teams, and Alice and I were the last ones left, so we were separated. Edward and Jasper would not be happy. We went over to play soccer, and I saw that my team mainly consisted of guys. Great!
"Hey gorgeous," an African-American boy said. I glare. "What's with the face?" he asked, laughing.
"I have a boyfriend," I replied. He looked surprised, but continued.
"Who gives about your boyfriend babe? Not me, and I bet you wouldn't tell," he winked suggestively. Yuck, that was disgusting. How typical of a human boy, thinking I'd be willing to get with them. I wanted to kick his balls, but Alice spoke to me from across the room.
"Hey Bella," she said, and I knew only I would hear. "Leave his balls to Edward," she said once she had my attention. I laughed, which gave the guy the wrong impression.
"You see babe, you'll have fun." I just walked over to the only other girl on my team, who glared at me.
"Hi, I'm Bella McCarty," I said, smiling. She looked at me like Lauren used to.
"Why did you try and steal my guy?" I bet she was related to Lauren, her voice had that same annoying tone.
"I really wasn't," I started, but she walked off, muttering about bitches and payback. I didn't bother listening. I just started kicking a ball around, but then I got annoyed when I thought about the kids at this school, and I kicked the soccer ball so hard it went through the roof. Carlisle was going to kill me. This stuff only ever happened to Emmett. I turned to the shocked faces of my classmates. "I guess it was old," I said feebly. The coach, as well as the rest of the class came over.
"You did this?" asked the teacher. I nodded, and he stared at me in awe. The guys in my class did the same, and the girls looked at me like I was some kind of freak. Well girls, I am a vampire...
"What the hell?" the bitch from my team asked. I rolled my eyes.
"There's this thing, and it's called force," I said. She shot me a glare, while most other people laughed. I smiled.
"Miss McCarty, if you would please get your father, damaging buildings is against the rules," the coach said. I was about to go, but Alice told me quickly to cover my face and dry sob. I agreed with her, this could be fun. It definitely had the potential.
"I can't believe you did that!" Alice exclaimed. "Her Dad died a year ago," she ranted. "Damn inconsiderate people, some of us are sensitive," she said. I guessed she thought this would make people leave us alone. I doubted it would work.
"I'm sorry Miss McCarty; do you need to leave the class?" Aw, the teacher was so sweet; little did he know he had just let out two very frustrated vampires. I wondered what kind of havoc Alice planned on wreaking with 'permission'. We nodded, and then left, heading over to other buildings.
"What, Alice?" I asked, shortly after we were out of sight.
"We're going to Carlisle," she said. I questioned her sanity. What did we need our 'father' for? "I'll ask for permission not to go on camp," she explained, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "It's silly to go, and I really don't want to," she said. "Think of my clothes!" she exclaimed. Good old Alice, she was on the right side. Suddenly, the loudspeakers blared to life.
"Good morning students," said the principal, who I had found out was Mr Buchan. "I would just like to tell you that the freshman/sophomore camping trip is now compulsory. It has become known that several students do not wish to go, and this is now a mandatory part of your schooling. We will be camping at a field in Mount Rainier, it will be fine," he stressed the last part, he wasn't even certain. Wait, a field, in Mount Rainier? This was getting way old.
"Did he just?" I asked Alice. She nodded solemnly. Oh, Emmett would be getting a kick out of this.
Hey, I know this was crap, but I had to get Alice on the good side, and make Bella and the Cullen's (Masen's) hated by the rest of the school. The soccer ball through the roof, well I was inspired by some stuff that happens in good old PE. Please, please, please review, especially if you favourite or story alert. I really would like some constructive criticism, or even just a 'that was great'.
