Chapter Six
Edward came back early on Friday night to be with me. He couldn't stay away, he said, and I understood what he meant, because I felt the same way. I told him all about my week and especially Dana, he seemed pleased that I made another friend. When I told him about Mike's reaction to the new girl, he seemed even more pleased. I knew it was because Mike wouldn't be mooning after me anymore.
Edward and Alice drove me to school on Monday. Alice had explained earlier that she and Jasper were going someplace after school and he would be picking her up so Edward and I could be together after our week apart.
As we got out of the Volvo, a sapphire blue Nissan Cube drove up and parked beside us. Dana turned off the engine and hopped out of her toaster-car (I couldn't help it; the car was just so ridiculous).
"Bella!" she chimed, skipping over to us. "Good morning—" she broke off, staring at Edward, eyes wide. "Hello," she squeaked.
"Dana, I would like you to meet my boyfriend, Edward Cullen, and his sister, Alice," I introduced. "Edward, Alice, this is Dana Quincey."
"P-p-pleased to meet you," she seemed about to stick her hand out for a handshake but pulled it back. Apparently, Dana's instincts were picking up on something mine always failed to clue in on.
"Hi, Dana," said Alice, smiling. "It's very nice to meet you."
Edward suddenly stiffened in my arms, he turned to glare at his sister. Wasn't he happy to meet my friend?
Dana mumbled something about needing to find a bathroom and took off.
"What was that look for?" I accused.
"What look?" he tried for innocent but I knew better.
"The one you gave Alice."
He sighed. "Alice is seeing Dana as a vampire in the very near future, it's very clear."
"How?" I asked, turning to Alice.
"I don't know, I can't see that part."
