Chapter 3 – Pixies on Packing
BPOV
Alice and I ran home straight away. So I missed Trig, it served Edward right for dumping me in this hell-hole trip. Everyone always thought we were the perfect couple, but we secretly got revenge on each other all the time. Nessie and Jake weren't at home, but I could hear Esme. We ran up to her office.
"Why aren't you at school?" Esme asked as soon as we opened the front door. We didn't bother with pleasant greetings anymore, it got old pretty quickly.
"They're-making-us-go-on-camp-and-stay-in-a-tent-for-ten-days," Alice said so quickly that I almost had trouble hearing. Esme seemed to understand, and she laughed.
"Oh Edward already called me girls, I think it will be a good experience," she said. I turned to face her, and sure enough, she was serious. What?
"Esme, I really don't want to go," Alice and I whined.
"Suck it up, you're both old enough," she replied. I walked out the door and looked at Alice, who appeared to be in shock.
"Alice?"
"No more MTV," she said to Esme. I chuckled lightly.
"Whatever bitches," she said. I looked at my sister. Did our mother just? That was plain weird. I swear Emmett must rub off on people. Alice just nodded, seeing my question in the future.
"Hey, I have an idea," she said. I lifted my eyebrow quizzically. "Shopping for camping clothes!" she exclaimed. I moved back in horror. Some of their ways may have rubbed off on me, but I still hated shopping.
"No, we have school," I said. I decided to play my I-am-still-helplessly-in-love card. "I haven't seen Edward in two hours," I whined. She dragged me back to school at vampire speed. We were there, in time for our next classes, within two minutes. I walked over to Edward, sitting dejectedly in the corner, right next to the wall. He didn't seem to notice my appearance until I sat down.
"Bella, would you care to explain why you and Alice were both missing, and Alice is reciting Japanese songs in her head?"
"No." I let it sit, 5-4-3-2-
"Please Bella?" There went my trusty husband in our argument stage. I refused him twice and he whined like a little girl. Or like Jacob, I guess.
"Fine," I said harshly. "Esme dearest refused Alice and my pleas for help, because a certain Edward called her, and this same Edward made it mandatory." He chuckled.
"It wasn't me, it was Emmett," he said, at human level. I wondered why, until I heard Rosalie's hiss. Ah, our family was listening, wonderful. I scowled at him, he was annoying me. He rolled his eyes and I turned away, until the same girl from gym class came up to him and started talking. I decided to let him sweat it out.
"Hey, I'm Melina Marks," she said. I wondered if Lauren's kid had married Austin's. It was likely. This town would all be inbred in another fifty years.
"Edward Masen," he replied. He could hear her thoughts at the moment, so I shielded her. He huffed at me and I smiled.
"So, I was wondering, you might need someone to sit with at lunch, and so I want to invite you to join me," she said. Edward looked bored.
"Melina, my family and I would prefer our own company; I don't think they'd like it very much if I sat with you."
"Who gives a damn about family?" she asked, surprised.
"I do," I said. She was annoying me to death. "And Eddie here would hate to annoy his family," I said. "If you sit with her I will never let you near me again and I will let Nessie get married," I added at vampire speed. I heard Emmett chuckle, he must have been in a room nearby.
"Yeah, but Edward wouldn't mind sitting with his future girlfriend," Melina insisted, glaring at me. Edward looked nervous, and I chuckled.
"Oh darling, you might want to talk to his current girlfriend first," I said. "Oh, you already are," I said and then started making out with him. The teacher chose that moment to walk in.
"Public displays of affection are banned in this class," she said. "Now, you appear to be new, so you are forgiven. Next time, save it for somewhere private." We both cam up, and she looked surprised. "Ah, actually, take it to a psychiatrist," she said, seeming disgusted. "I don't know for sure, but I thought that it was illegal to, umm, be involved with your brother."
"That's why I'm not kissing Emmett," I said. Edward laughed. The teacher looked a little grossed out, so I just let it rest. I guessed she was alright, she reminded me of someone, but I couldn't tell who. She was around sixty-five, tall, had hair that was brown and greying and she seemed nice. There was a very distinct quality about her.
"By the way, I'm Miss Weber," she said. Angela's little sister! Well, one of them anyway. Wow, I didn't think I'd know anyone here. I loved the Weber twins, they were pretty cute.
"Hi," we replied. I relayed my thoughts to Edward by pushing my shield away, and he smiled. He had taken rather a liking to the Weber's something about kind thoughts. Of course, Angela was the nicest person I had ever met.
The lesson was pretty boring, mostly about the changes in America since the Obama presidency. I'd been alive then, we'd all voted for Barrack in 08. Ah, a good year. We walked quickly to the cafeteria, arriving at pretty much the same time as our siblings. Alice and Rose were scowling, and despite my lesson, which had been enjoyable, I did too. All we needed was Leah and we could be the PMS club.
We made our way to a table in a corner; hopefully people would leave us alone. I picked up a bagel and water, Edward grabbed a salad and soda. It amazed me how much money we wasted on pretending to eat. I felt the cold air as we arrived at the table. Rose and Alice had given 'cold shoulder' two meanings.
"Ladies," Alice said. "If we are forced to go on this trip we need suitable wardrobes," she said. "I would like to go shopping soon; we only have a week to get everything." The guys struck up conversation, something to do with teachers. They hated shopping conversations.
"Alice, it's in a week, we have plenty of time," I said.
"We're going to Seattle, it'll have to be planned, Carlisle won't let me do that on a school night, god knows why," she said. I heard footsteps arrive at the table and all our conversations stopped. We turned to face the newcomers. There were three; a blond jock, his fake-blond and boobs bimbo friend and a brunette, equally skanky. We were clearly being graced with the presence of Forks royalty, lovely. I wondered if the names had varied from Newton, Mallory and Stanley. I sincerely hope so.
"Hey, like why do you have your own group?" asked the peroxide blonde. "Everyone knows that you get placed in a clique by us," she said. We laughed.
"Like why are you laughing?" asked the brunette. "Kaila is like in charge," she said, a total hero worship thing going on. I hated that.
"Well Kaila," Rosalie said her evil tone apparent. "I would rather drink human blood than sit with you," she said. I guessed it made sense. Dying, eating dirt and sticking pins in our eyes wouldn't do much. Kaila rolled her eyes.
"Whatever," she said, and then turned to our other halves, sitting opposite us. I glowered. "Sierra and I were wondering if you would like to join our table," she asked, looking at Edward. Nobody hits on my man!
"Oh Edward," I called seductively. "I think I left my text books for Biology on the floor in the car. Would you mind joining me?"
"Of course, love," he said. How sweet of him. I stood up, and his arm snaked around my waist. Take that Kaila.
------------------------------
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful, exactly like the rest of the week. I learnt the popular boys name was Kyle, and that most of Forks High hated me. I was with Edward, and I was hot were the apparent reasons behind it. I laughed loudly at that one. On Friday I walked back into the house after hunting with Edward and was attacked, surrounded on four sides, by my sisters, daughter and mother. What?
"Shopping," Nessie explained, bouncing happily. How she was my progeny I had no idea, she actually seemed to enjoy trips to the mall. They forced me into Alice's new Porsche, also canary yellow. We literally sped off (Alice was going 200, 210 mph) and arrived in Seattle an hour later. That was pretty ridiculous really, seeing as it was a four hour plane ride from Seattle to Port Angeles. She pulled up at some mall and dragged me inside. Rose and Esme went one way, leaving Alice and Nessie with me. I guess Alice needed 'extra security' on me now that I could run away.
"Let's go!" Alice squealed. She looked at me like I wasn't fast enough as I dawdled behind her. "We have to get ten full days worth of clothes, which means two outfits per day, in case of warm weather and ten sets of pyjamas. This'll be fun!" She squealed again. Speaking of warm weather, what would we do?
"Hey Alice, will it be sunny while we're there?" I checked with the omniscient so that I could be sure.
"I see no sunny days," she said. "We'll be in the middle of the forest, duh."
"The Rainier field, duh."
"Jeez, I thought we were going shopping," Nessie complained, effective in getting Alice to drag me off to some designer store. Oh goody.
------------------------------
"Edward, can you help me with this stuff?" I called as soon as we were in the garage. He was there five seconds later. Good old vampire speed, you were never left waiting.
"Umm, do you really need this many clothes?" he asked, looking into Alice's car. Alice looked at him like he was crazy.
"Honestly, what is it with you two and being happy wearing old clothes? It's really weird."
We rolled our eyes at her together and set off to picking up my bags, all sixty of them. I was going to kill Alice. I took them all into Edward's room, and was about to make use of the bed when Alice came in, with a heck of a lot of suitcases. What?
"Edward, just leave. I'm packing you tomorrow," she said. I guess she mind-threatened him, he ran out the door pretty quickly. She turned to face me, her eyes glittering. "Okay Bella, we have a different suitcase for each day," she said, matter-of-factly. What?
"Why do we need one for each day?" I asked. This was getting really weird.
"Well," she began. I was in for a long rant. "I kind of have decided that you have two pairs of shoes, two bottoms, two tops, two jackets, good clothes with another pair of shoes, a pair of pyjamas and a new set of lingerie every day, which you need anyways, but whatever."
"Umm, Alice, why do I need three outfits for one day?"
"Because I am the all-knowing one who says that you day," she replied in a frustrated tone. "Between you and Edward, I should get my own TV show for this."
"Pixies on Packing, I'm sure it'd be a hit," I said sarcastically. She threw a suitcase at me.
"Here just pack what I give you okay?" I obliged, knowing something really bad would happen if I didn't comply.
------------------------------
On Monday morning, we were all ready to go. We had gone on a family hunting trip, we wouldn't get thirsty. I had all ten of my suitcases in the car along with Edward's five, we had to take three separate cars to school this morning, and Esme, Nessie, Jake and Carlisle had to come along in the Mercedes to take the cars home. I was one hundred per cent ready for this trip.
"I'll miss you all," Esme said, beginning to pout. "Be nice, and call me whenever you can." We hadn't bothered to tell anyone that the Rainier field had fantastic cell phone range. All of us had the latest version of the iPhone, so that when Emmett broke one, we could still call home.
"Bye Mom," we all said, and then hugged her at the same time. We hugged Carlisle, said a polite goodbye to Jake, and then talked to Nessie in couples. Her Aunties and Uncles went first. Rose handed her a phone and Emmett bear hugged her, before they both kissed her cheek and said bye. Alice and Jasper handed her what looked like a credit card and some books, and they departed in the same way as Rose and Emmett. That left me standing in front of my daughter.
"I'll miss you," I dry-sobbed. I hadn't done it often, and it still felt weird. Nessie had actual tears on her face.
"I love you," she said. I hugged her, and Edward wrapped his arms around both of us, in a family embrace.
"Hey Nessie, there's a present waiting for you when we get back, okay?" we asked.
"Thanks," she said.
"Call us," I replied, and then we made our way over to the bus. There seemed to be a hold-up.
"We cannot take forty-five suitcases just for your family," the principal shouted.
"Jeez, hey Emmett, will you go in your Jeep with the bags?"
"Sure Ali, come on Rose!" Emmett headed off to the Jeep, and put all our bags in there. It looked kind of stupid. But, now we had a car that we could head off in, and use for electricity. I loved Alice! The rest of us hopped on the bus, in seats that faced each other. Oh, how fun would this excursion be?
Hey, wow that was long. I'm sorry that it took so long, but I really had to get them to be going on camp for chapter four, and I have been really busy with school work. My teachers don't seem to care about the fact that I do have other things to do than three science projects! Sorry about the wait! I'll update the next one as soon as I can, but I'm making each day one chapter, so it might be pretty long. Any ideas, anything that you think I could put in the story, please review! Oh, and if you know any good stories, please tell me. I love reading them as much as I love writing them!
