Chapter 10

Alexandra

After playing a bunch of games on the Wii I've never played before, Alec said that I should call Aro. Me, not him because he was too busy playing video games with Emmett and Seth. I sighed, but agreed, happy that Alec had found some friends.

Bella showed me to the phone, and then went back to the living room where Edward was playing the piano. I dialed and Felix picked up.

"Um… this is Alexandra…." I said awkwardly into the receiver.

"Oh hey!" he said, "How's it going?"

"Erm… well Alice said that she needed me to stay for a few months because then she'll be attuned to my future…"

"No prob! Aro expected something like that; but glad you're keeping in touch. I'll pass on the message to Aro, but he's busy right now. And I have to go to, ok?"

"Ok."

"Bye Alexandra, and tell Alec I said that his room makes great storage space. Alright?"

"Definitely. Bye." I said as I hung up the phone. I went back and told Alec who said something about killing Felix when he got back.

A week passed like this, with Alec and I joining the family to hunt. It was weird to hunt only animals, but I think that Alec and I would get used to it. We did miss human blood though; however Edward was super strict about the no hunting humans rule. Seth and Alec became really close, as did Renesmee and I. We were all sitting around watching 3:10 to Yuma when Esme came in a paused the movie.

"I'll put this movie back on in a second guys, and yes, Emmett, I know how much you love this movie," she said, " I'm just letting Nessie, Lexi, and Alec know that they start school in three days, on Tuesday.

Emmett laughed at us, but I started at Alec in horror, while he looked at Esme shocked.

"We have to go to school?" I asked. It had never occurred to us that we would need to go to school.

"Yes dear," Esme replied. "Don't worry, you and Alec will have everything you need, Carlisle and I covered it."

"Thank you so much Esme," Alec said. "That was very generous of you."

"No problem, I want you to enjoy it, and maybe make friends."

Friends, as if. No one would want to be my friend. Alec and I sighed and looked at each other.

Emmett looked at the two of us, laughed again, and put the movie on again. I was soon lost again in the movie.

As the credits rolled, Alice said something that scared the hell out me and Alec.

"Alec, Lexi," Alice called to us as we stood up, "tomorrow I'm taking you guys shopping."

Bella looked at us sympathetically, while Nessie chimed in how she was coming.

"Don't worry about anything," Alice told us, "we got money to pay for it, and I've already got ideas for styles and outfits for the two of you—Alec you especially. You can't go around looking like you just stepped out of a tomb or something."

At that statement everyone cracked up, but Emmett definitely laughed the loudest.
