AS if this day couldn't get anymore hectic, I was assigned to spy on the one who could kill me. What would make her say that? I don't know. Seems to me she hasn't been thinking clearing lately. I had no idea how to do this. Megan had gotten the easy job. She got to follow the girl who fell over her own two feet and was unaware of her surroundings. I followed the bloodsucking mindreader. Great. As if I could do that.
So far, I thought I was doing a pretty good job. He probably thought I was another kid going to class.
Mini-gasp. . Unless he was reading my mind now. Probably not. I mean, I usually beat the odds. Maybe my mind blocks out his weird sixth sense out. But if it didn't, I know I was so messed up.
" Are you going to take a seat today, young lady?" Our math teacher said, cocking an eyebrow. Please, I could go way higher.
I looked up. " What?" I said, but instantly regretted it. I had forgotten that I had new teachers now.
" Sit down." The teacher said to me.
" I... where do I sit?" I asked, looking around for an empty seat.
He scoffed. " I dont know what's with your best friend and you.. She came here earlier not knowing where her seat was. Right there, behind the young man." He said, pointing to the left-side of the classroom.
Genius teacher. There's more than one... oh. Great. Right behind Edward.
This would make me look too suspicious.
I walked unusually slow to my seat. I sat down, to be as casual as possible, I said something. I thought it'd be less awkward.
" Hi." I whispered.
No answer.
Well , now I see how Bella must've felt. Getting the cold shoulder from Edward must've been really insulting. I was undeniably clueless of the work. Thank God I hadn't really gotten called on. I didn't want to attract anymore unnecessary attention to me. When the bell rang, I couldn't have sprang out the room any faster than I had.
I caught Megan coming out the class, laughing with three guys.
Mike, Tyler and Eric.
I caught her arm. " What the hell?" You've made friends?" This was so unfair. She always did things that were unpredictable.
She shrugged." Yeah so? Bella's friends. I'm making progress. What about you?" She started squinting at me, making me instantly want to lie under pressure.
I scoffed. " Uh, YEAH. Sure, Tons of uh, progress."
She narrowed her eyes again. " That's a bunch of bull shit."
I sighed. " Edward's rude, okay? Biology finished. Bella's way more easier." I whined, pouting my lips. I probably looked like a whore but I didn't give two shits.
"Okay,Okay, Just don't get to close to Edward." She said, whispering.
I scoffed. " Wha-What are you saying?"
"Well I may have forgotten to mention that, uh, well you kinda attract a lot of mosquitoes for a reason." She said, softly so no one would hear her say something that sounded so stupid.
"What the hell do mosquitoes have anything to do with this?" I said harshly.
She groaned." Uh blood, idiot. Your blood."
I was a little confused... as usual. "Oh-So? What do you mean, i dont get- OH! You did not forget, Megan!"
She laughed a little.
" You just wanted me to forget and not chicken out. Goddamn, it worked.
She shrugged. "Just do it. Let's go."
The rest of the school day was pretty uneventful. We were just stuck afterschool. That is, once we had realized that we had absolutely no idea. where to go. Ah. Our ignorance was neverending today, wasn't it?
We had no bright ideas. Where were we going to go? What were we going to do?
" Hey!" Megan said.
"Lightbulb time?" I asked.
" Yep" She said."Check for money. Maybe we inherited something from these girls."
I shrugged, shuffling through the bag.
"Uh,lip gloss,eye shadow. EW!" I said, eyeing the disgusting item.
"What?" She said, looking over.
"Tampon!" I threw it behind me.
She laughed "Just like your bag!"
I narrowed my eyes."Hey...wallet." I handed it over to her.
She opened it."Jackpot."
"What are you going to do anyway?"I asked.
She scoffed"Um,oh I don't know, go to a motel!"
I gasped. "Oh, that's way better then what I was thinking?"
She glared"What were you thinking?"
"Camp out in the woods or something."I said.
She grabbed me. "Let's go."
Megan's POV
We found this stop off motel like a mile or two from the school. It was so creepy how everything was like...deserted in this town. Oh,yeah, did I forget to mention...
We totally hitched a ride. Scariest shit ever.
"This is the most clean motel I have ever been to!"Alyssa exclaimed.
I scoffed"Have you ever been to one?"
She shook her head. "Only hotels,But on television, they always have roaches and rats."
I scoffed. "Wow"
The television was old, but at least they had cable... sort of. Listen, I wont complain. We're saving a fortune in order to not sleep outside.
"Wait! SVU! Put on SVU." She exclaimed
"It doesn't exist yet." I lied. I knew damn well it did.
"Yes! Season 1 was in 1999. It's 2005." Obviously,she did,too.
"It's not on." I said.
After a while, we shut off the television. First, reception here sucked. Next, people in Forks had horrible television taste. It was sad.
We found iPods in the bags and shuffled through it. we realized how much their music would suck being the fact that it was 2005, and we were seven years ahead. No one we listened to barely existed. Paramore barely existed. Panic ATD too. The only songs that could be enjoyable was maybe rap. I doubt we'd find any of it. These girls were prisses. Not even Green Day. Sick.
"Ugh, this sucks so bad!" Alyssa whined, all the stuff in one bag. I had done the same.
"Stop whining. Just go to bed or... something."
She shrugged. "Fine. I will."
The next morning, we realized that we had to get a move on everything. We were here for a reason, besides our slight idiocy. We had to fulfill it and get home. I hadn't had chicken in we were missing school.
"How are we even going to get anywhere? We can't drive!" Alyssa said
"Um," I thought. For once, her complaining was necessary. "I'll think of something." It didn't take long until I had one of Alyssa's famous lightbulb moments. I always saved us from one of her messes.
But it just wasn't coming to me. They had no public transportation. They had taxis.
Taxis.
"Taxis!" I said
She gave me a "wtf" face.
"Taxi!" I said. "We have money. Taxis exist, right?" I said with a touch of sarcasm.
"Ugh," She groaned. "Why don't these girls have goddamn cars?"
I rolled my eyes. "Get your shit. Let's go."
It took us about half an hour to haul a goddamn taxi. I hated Washington. We couldn't even have drop us off in front of their home. I had no idea where I'd tell him to drop us off.
"Hey, guy driving the taxi", Alyssa asked "Drop us off by, uh, wait".
She tapped me. "Where are we going?"
"Remember from Eclipse? Smh, child, just smh." All I got was a cold look from the driver.
"What the fuck you looking at? Can you just bring us to Calawah Way?"
He hesitated for a second but turned back to say,
"That'll be $85 kid."
"The hell it is $85."
"Either that or get out." Damn, we started looking for through the wallet scrounging up any bills we could find.
"Here take it," I said shoving the bills at him.
"All right then, here we go." He started driving... fast.
"I don't think we should do this," I said.
"What do you mean? What's the worst that could happen?" Famous last words. She's sealed our fate. We are going to die.
"We could suffer a particularly bloody death."
"Oh... They're vegetarians,remember"
"So,what? We're not safe until Twilight's crisis is averted"
"Oh... you mean when J-" I covered her mouth.
"shh...they could be listening"
"What in the hell are you talking about"
"They've got that supernatural hearing, remember...vampires"
"Well, what does it matter, they already know we're coming."
"My turn, What in the hell are you talking about?"
"Alicealready knows we're coming, remember visions" Yeah. Sometimes she has these "I can think" moments. We kept talking about how we would approach them, briefly noticing the sign that said "Calawah Way" 0.5 miles.
Alice's POV
It was one vision I wouldnt be able to explain to the rest of my family. Who were these girls and how did they know so much about us? Surely I wouldn't be able to keep this from Edward for long. As much as he claims to try, he can't help reading our minds. And based on the news he's heard, he hasnt been very happy lately. No one has really been the same.
I hadnt understood. Shouldn't it amtter that Edward would be happy with a human. Even if he did end up killing her- which wouldn't happen, shouldn't happen, shouldn't we give it a chance?
'No."
I sighed. "Invasion of privacy,Edward."
"While I was invading, I saw something." He answered. As I said, I couldnt keep it from him much longer.
"What was that? I asked.
"Who are those girls? What do they have to do with us?" He asked.
"I don't know yet." I said. It wasnt a complete lie.
"I think you do." He said.
"They know everything about us." I confessed.
"Do you think they're vampires?" He asked.
"No,no. "They're not." I said.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier? This could be dangerous." He walked away before I could explain.
