Hey,
Sorry I took soooooooo long to update but, well I kinda lost confidence in all of you guys out there actually reading this, there were not many reviews last time, but thanks to all of you who did review. Secondly, I am dying of work overload, so it was kinda hard to actually get free time to do this. Sorry this chapter is slightly shorter then normal, but I still hope you like it. It might be a bit boring, but it'll get better soon, I promise.
Read and enjoy.
"…We lived in Maisons Laffitte for a few years then moved away, we went to Russia, Moscow, and various other places and in the end decided that we liked it here the best and moved back, by that time many of the people we had known the first time we were here had died so it was ok to come back." At that point I paused my long speech to look at each of the Cullens in turn to see if they were absorbing everything that had happened to me in all those years.
"Now we've been back in Maisons Laffitte for 3 years, since 2nde, and I've been best friends with Andrea for those 3 years. I know everything and anything about her, we share all our secrets, I know everything about her and she knows everything about me. We do practically everything together and her family is like my second family. Mathieu, her boyfriend, is like my brother and whenever he can, he joins in on our fun." I looked over at Andrea who was smiling at all the things I was saying, happy to know what I thought about her, although I'm sure she already knew.
"I am in the ES class, the same class as Emmett and uhhh, I never got your name." I said pointing towards 'Red Cullen'. He looked at me dumbly for a few minutes then shook his head and said:
"Oh! Oh! Ummmm…." It seems he doesn't know his own name. "I'm Peter." I looked at him, making sure he was all there, he then turned to the red headed girl and said: "That's Sally, she my 'twin'" He made air quotes as he said twin, I just smiled at them both and then continued with my story.
"Well yes, so I'm in the same class as Emmett and Peter, I actually get along with humans very well, they were kinda scared at first, but then as I got to know Andrea and in turn her friends, people started warming up to me and well now I know almost everyone in the school, and well, I love it here!" I finished my speech with a large smile in Andrea's direction and then sat back down.
The Cullens were all silent for a few minutes and then Edward spoke:
"Bella, I had no idea that this would happen… that you would get changed. I'm so--" I cut him of before he could finish his sentence:
"Yes well, it did and there's nothing you can do about it. I have a new family and new friends now."
Alice's eyes widened and she looked at me and said:
"But, I'm still like your sister right? Please say yes. Just because one of us made a mistake and we were all forced to follow him doesn't mean you have to hate us! We didn't want to leave you!"
"But you did and it will take a little time for me to completely forgive you guys and as for Edward, well…he's still got a loooonnng time to wait before I even think of forgiving or even talking to him for that matter!" I said loudly, looking purposefully at Alice begging her not to interfere, I could tell she wanted to, but with my stern glance and with Bailey's knuckle cracking that could be clearly heard across the whole room she refrained.
Carlisle stood up slowly and turned to Arthur:
"Well thank you Arthur for having us here, we have now cleared up some things. We hope to see your whole family, with Andrea of course, again soon, maybe at our house next time." He then turned to me and said:
"Bella, I'm very happy you're ok, and it's great to see you again and I hope you forgive us for what we did to you, we didn't mean to hurt you." I smiled at him and then walked into his open arms, I felt as if I was getting my 'father' back. After I had pulled away I turned to the other Cullens, giving each a hug, except for 'Red Cullen''s and Edward, telling them that I was glad to see them again. I was shocked when, as I hugged Rosalie hesitantly she pulled me closer and whispered in my ear, so low that I nearly didn't catch it with my vampire hearing, that she had missed me and that she was glad I was ok. As I pulled away I told her I was happy to see her as well and that, yes I had in fact missed her.
Victoire who had stood up earlier led all the Cullens to the front door and told them that they could come over whenever they wanted and as they pulled out of the drive way Bailey, Teo, Arthur, Victoire, Andrea and I all waved to them, some of us with smiles on our faces others with frowns and yet others with scowls.
As soon as their cars were out of sight I grabbed Andrea's hand and dragged her to my room. We sat on my couch and listened to the music blaring out of my Ipod speakers, which I had turned on not two seconds earlier. Finally after what felt an eternity she smiled at me and said excitedly:
"Well! That was entertaining! Their faces were quite funny to watch! Oh! Thanks for saying all those things about me! They made me soooooooooooooo happy!" I laughed at her little rant and then answer still giggling slightly:
"Yes. Well it was all true! Now tell me, do we have anything exciting happening tomorrow at school?"
"Well, it being the second day of the whole year, something will happen and you know what that is!" She said her voice getting lower and lower.
I groaned loudly, knowing exactly what she was talking about.
"Ohhhh. Noooooooooooooo! 'Assemblée génèrale'. That is the most boring thing in the world! Every year we get the same damned speech about how we are one of the best schools in France and that we have to behave well. And they will introduce all the new teachers and do all that boring stuff that bores everyone attending to sleep, well for those who can sleep! This is gonna be torture!" I shouted out to the world as I gestured in all directions to make my point clearer.
Andrea laughed out hysterically at the expression on my face and answered between laughs:
" Well giggle we'll jus-snort just have to laugh make it more laughs INTERESTING!" She was now rolling on the floor having fallen off of the couch right at the end of her little charade.
I stood and helped her up as an idea formed in my brain.
"Andrea, listen to this! You know how they always pick 4 or 5 students in Terminale to explain to the other students how the school year will be and all that kind of stuff, well I'm sure they'll pick either you or me or both of us! So I was thinking we could…"
Hope you liked it!
