A/N Writer's block + busyness + laziness = a very annoyed Cindersarah. Anyway, I've had several ideas for this story, and these ideas create a maze of interesting strings that crisscross each other…making it very hard to figure out an ending of my liking. So, this chapter is more of a setting the stage… but hopefully soon I'll throw in some shockers that will make your jaws drop. :P Anyway, enjoy.

Chapter Ten (Edelle's POV)

3 and 1/2 years later…

I heard knocking at my door and rolled my eyes, "What?" I asked as I continued putting my black eyeliner on.

"Your mom wants you to hurry up," Aunt Rosalie's voice came filtering though, "She wants Grandpa to measure you two once more just to be sure you guys have stopped growing."

I sighed, "Whatever. I'm almost done." As I heard her footsteps walk away from my door I examined my look, smiling at my reflection in the mirror. I knew my parents (and Alice) would freak at my outfit choice for school, but I thought it would help distinguish myself from my sister. I was wearing a black zippered tank top with a leather jacket undone over top. I was wearing an army green mini skirt with slashed leggings. I finished off the outfit with black high heeled boots with zippers all over them.

I picked up my green messenger bag, careful not to mess up my hair, which was in a very complicated yet very cool looking design at the side of my head. I had twisted my hair to spell swear words out, all in different ancient languages no one at the school would know…except my family. I opened the door and walked down to the living room, eyeing Carlisle with barely veiled annoyance, "No thanks Grandpa. I don't want you knowing my bra size." I fingered my rose ring, smiling as I did so. This ring had a tiny miniscule defect; a tiny piece of metal was rolling around inside it. A vampire would be able to hear it barely, but would probably just pass it off as nothing. It helped me keep my powers twenty-four hours a day, though I kept a few other dangling things on me at all times just in case. I was like a walking musical percussion instrument.

I returned my attention back to the conversation, which was about my clothing. "Edelle, I don't want to hear all the guys' thoughts about you. I already have a hard enough time restraining myself from killing those boys who look at your mother." Edward glanced at Bella, who rolled her eyes lovingly.

I wrinkled my nose, "Uh dad, I have to hear those thoughts too. However, I still don't understand why you guys aren't going to university."

Rosalie sighed and slung her arm around my shoulders, but I shrugged it off. Reflex, I suppose. "We want to stay close to you two, and you haven't gone through the experience of high school yet."

I exchanged a glance with Renesmee, "So we miss a bit of drama, don't we have enough of that already?"

"You're going to high school, we're going to high school. End of discussion." Mom gave me a firm look.

I rolled my eyes and I hitched my bag higher up on my shoulder, "I'm going. Renesmee, are you going to get a ride with Jacob or me?" She smiled at me and I nodded, "Jacob then. Nice choice of an outfit Sis."

She was still wearing pajamas. She stuck her tongue out at me, "I'm getting changed moron."

I hid my laughter and headed to my car. I hadn't wanted anything fancy, so my car was a clunker, a 1991 Toyota Celica. However, only Rosalie and I had revamped the entire engine, so it was able to compete with the rest of my family's cars. I tossed my bag into the passenger's seat and gunned it towards the school, taking the routes no cops were near. We had moved to one of the many houses under the Cullen name, a house in Seattle, so we were still close enough that Charlie could visit us. I headed to the high school and parked in the student parking zone.

I glanced at my watch and realized that I had some time, actually, more like an hour before normal kids actually started coming to school. I groaned, noticing that my car was the only one in the parking lot. Even teachers weren't here yet. Perhaps a little hunting before school… I opened the trunk and pulled out a long sleeve plaid shirt and jeans to change into, so I didn't get blood on my school clothes. Most people would be a little freaked out by that. I took all my jewelry off, only keeping my ring on.

I got back into the driver's seat, driving to the edge of Seattle. I parked, made sure no one was watching, before booking it into the forest. I snagged an elk and elegantly bit into his neck, wrinkling my nose at the taste. I'd rather have human blood, but Dr. Carlisle had cut Renesmee and me off years ago. Didn't want us to get attached I suppose. However, hearing Jasper's occasional thoughts about it didn't help.

I had finished hunting and was sitting on the ground, just listening to the birds chirping before getting tackled from behind, hearing Jacob's voice, "Hey Nes…" He stopped, seeing my amused green eyes looking at him, "Uh, hey Edelle. Is Nessie with you?"

I stood up, wrinkling my nose at his smell, not knowing how Renesmee handled it. It wasn't as bad as our family thought it was, but it smelt like he hadn't taken a shower for awhile. "She's at home, waiting for you. You'd think you would have realized it was me." I complained.

"Sorry Edelle," he sheepishly apologized, "I was excited in seeing Nessie, and tackled you before your smell registered."

"Uh huh. You need to stomp pouncing on people with similar DNA. I mean, I understand me since I look so similar, but my mom too?"

Jacob froze and glared at me, "How the hell did you find that out? Who was thinking about it?"

I shrugged and chuckled, "Does it matter? I bet Nessie wouldn't be as amused as I am if she ever finds out you made out with our mom."

He scowled, "She'd understand that it was before she was born, before I imprinted on her."

I scoffed, "You sure about that? She thinks of our mom as the most beautiful person ever. You really think she'd understand when she realized that you loved our mom before she married our dad?"

"You won't tell her, you wouldn't risk hurting her feelings." Jacob looked at me, and I shrugged.

"So," my smirk grew bigger, "I can still bug you about it."

Jacob just shook his head, "Whatever. I need to go back and get my car…"

I shrugged and stood up, "See you later." I ran off, laughing inwardly as I got to my car. I quickly got changed again and set forth to school again. This time, there were quite a few cars in the parking lot, including my family's cars. I sighed and picked up my bag before walking into the school, smiling in satisfaction at the subtle glances that my peers gave me.

The guys' thoughts were more amusing, though infuriating at times. They ranged from thinking I was weird to one thought that echoed in some of the guys' heads in different wording. The main points were, "That chick's clothing is weird…if she only dressed and acted like her sister she'd be major hot…too bad Nessie has that creepy huge guy as a boyfriend." It was amusing how many thoughts were about my sister, or my mom. If I had to do a survey though, most of them were still about Rosalie, though she too had to deal with the 'creepy huge boyfriend' thought.

I knew my family was in the library talking, so I stuck to the cafeteria. I sat at a table and listened to my IPod as I pretended to do homework I had finished within the first week of school. It was a simple task figuring out the whole semester curriculum for my classes, heck, I had next semesters homework all filed away somewhere in my room as well. Call me a keener, but it was more that I didn't want to have to worry about it later.

I knew when Renesmee had walked in when I saw her outfit of the day flash through everyone's' minds that were watching the door. She was wearing a sleeveless, patterned blue dress with a grey cardigan over top. She had some tasteful jewelry but the epic part of her outfit was her shoes. They were a mixture of green and blue, platform shoes with a decorative plastic flower design at the front. Both she and I enjoyed shoe shopping, though I usually went without Alice since she seemed to dislike my choices a bit. I didn't look up from my notebook until everyone's thoughts told me she and Jacob were right in front of me.

I looked at her and smiled, "I liked the pajamas better," I teased, "I'm sure Jacob did too. Less guys would be looking at you and comparing us if you looked like a slob."

She waved her hand at this like it was nonsense, "You'd be thought to be gorgeous too, if you didn't scare the crap out of everyone." She smiled sweetly, her eyes mischievous.

"I'm not letting you copy my homework now." I told her, and her lips turned into a pout.

"Oh come on! It's not my fault I have a boyfriend and you don't. Or the fact that you can hear the teachers' thoughts and know precisely what they're looking for."

"Forget it Renezz." I told her, sticking my tongue out, "Go flirt with a nerd or something."

She grinned and waved a notebook in my face, "Eddie, you already know that I copied your homework while you were doing who knows what yesterday. Why the charade?"

I waited until her eyes involuntarily went to Jacob, as they always did every few seconds, before swiping at it and sticking it into my bag, "So I could do that."

She scowled, "Fine, be that way." She looked at Jacob, "Where should we sit so I can whip up some homework real fast? Here, with the rest of my family….or somewhere private?"

He smiled adoringly at her, "Where ever you want Nessie." I pretended to gag. My little sister just ignored me.

"Somewhere private then. Tootles, elderly maid of a sister of mine."

I snickered before changing my voice to sound similar to an elderly, strict lady…well, as close as my harmonic voice could get, "Don't go off and do some hanky panky. There are people here who will hear your thoughts… ones who would tear off Jacob's limbs if you two showed some PDA."

Renesmee stuck her tongue out at me before hooking her arm around Jacob's and prancing off. I pulled out the notebook of hers and started editing some things, to make it seem different then my work. I knew she and Jacob wouldn't be able to concentrate on homework, and I didn't want her to fail. It made me quite happy knowing my whole family made teachers annoyed at us, and Renesmee was the one who risked ruining my fun. She was smart, but she didn't seem to understand that though she was intelligent, she still needed sleep.

The bell rang and I grabbed my stuff. I put the notebook of Renesmee's in her locker, with a note warning that she owed me a favour, before slipping into my first period class. It was English, and I had it with my parents, which made it a class that dragged on a very long time. Usually I took off my jewelry, but then I had to actually pay attention to the teacher in case he called my name. So, I chose what felt like the lesser of two evils today. I kept my jewelry on, which meant I could have a little fun with my dad…without his knowledge of course.

A/N So? In love with Edelle? Or just find her a royal pain in the arse? Perhaps both? :D Well, I personally think that now that Edward is all lovey dovey and happy, that the Cullens need some attitude that makes their days not so peachy keen. :P Reviews are Awesome, since it helps me remember that there are people out there who have opinions and critiques. :P
