Forks High School, Washington, USA, 2005
[Days go by and Bella and Edward stay on a respectful distance. They speak whenever they meet in corridors and Biology, and nod in greeting at the cafeteria, but the girl never seems obsessed with him.]
Edward: I think… I think I'm free?
Emmett: From what?
Edward: The curse that is Bella Swan
Emmett: Hey I think she's pretty nice
Edward: Now she is, but she wasn't in my memories
Emmett: I thought you only had memories of a past life?
Edward: That is correct, but how do you think I know Bella has powers?
Emmett:
Emmett: Wicked

[The siblings are in the cafeteria, pretending to eat lunch. Bella has yet to arrive.]
Edward: Should I be worried?
Alice: About what?
Edward: That Bella isn't doing what she's supposed to do
Rosalie: Shouldn't you be happy about that?
Edward: Of course I am, I'm just worried
Emmett: Speak of the devil and she shall appear
[Bella strolls into the cafeteria and sits down at the usual table. Edward can't help it and listens in on her conversation.]
Bella (making and keeping eye-contact with Edward): Hey guys, I've got a question. Just for funsies, you know? Just totally off the top of my head. Would you fuck a vampire, yes or no? I vote yes
Edward: *chokes on the water he pretends to drink*
Rosalie: You spat on me! I'm going to kill you!
Edward: Hold that thought! Time for an emergency fucking meeting. Right. Fucking. Now
Forks, Washington, USA, 2005
[Cullen Family Meeting #287]
Rosalie: We have to kill her
Edward: I agree
Alice: No! Whenever she appears in my visions she's always so nice! She's gonna be my new best friend
Edward: I see some things never change…
Carlisle: Children! You are overreacting. Let us just move
Rosalie: I'm fucking tired of moving
Edward: I never wanted to come here!
Carlisle: *groans, hides his face in his palms* Why can't you just listen to me?
Esme: *affectionately pats his shoulder*
Carlisle: Thanks
Alice: We're not moving!
Rosalie: Then we'll kill her
Alice: No!
Carlisle: We're not killing anyone. Edward, could you talk to her?
Edward (spluttering): Why the fuck should I?
Esme: Because you have the best relationship with her
Edward: You know what? I'm calling Jacob

Jacob: Why am I here?
Edward: We're going to interrogate your girlfriend!
Jacob (blushing): We barely know each other!
Edward: Then work harder
Jacob: *dies on the inside*
[They knock on the door to Charlie's house. It's a bit after school and Edward knows for a fact the man isn't home. It is, of course, Bella that answers.]
Bella: Jacob? And Edward? I… I didn't know you knew each other
Jacob: Unfortunately we do
Edward: Hey! I'm an amazing friend, thank you very much. How rude
Jacob (scoffing): How can you stand sharing a class with him, Bella?
Bella (snorting): He's not that bad
Jacob: I'm sorry, are we talking about the same guy?
Edward: Aaaaaalright, stop being so damned rude! Bella, could we come in?
Bella: I mean, sure?
[She shows them to the living room, where they all sit down.]
Bella: So, how long have you been friends?
Jacob: We are not fucking friends
Edward: You are still too young to curse
Jacob: *groans*
Bella: Oooh, I thought I was the only one he did that too
Jacob: No, sadly not
Edward: Either way, I've got a question for you, Bella
Bella: Shoot
Edward:
Edward: Howdidyouknowwewherevampires?
Jacob:
Bella:
Bella: Would you believe me if I said I have memories of a past life?
Jacob:
Edward:
Edward: What
