The next day, everything ran as normal. That is...until lunch. I found my spot at our table, and Bella settled in next to me. "Edward Cullen is staring at you again." Jessica muttered to us, "I wonder why he's sitting alone today." In perfect unison, mine and Bella's heads snapped over to see Edward sitting away from his Coven. He looked directly at Bella, lifted one hand, and beckoned her to join him with one finger. I glared at Edward hissing under my breath. "Does he mean you?" Jessica wondered, looking at Bella.
"Maybe he needs help with his Biology homework." Bella said. "Um, I'd better go see what he wants." Bella gathered her things and scurried off towards Edward. My eyes never left her back as she made her way towards him. I kept my eyes on them the entirety of munch. I didn't listen in on their conversation because that would just be plain rude. When the bell rang, I stood stiffly and stalked to my next class, which so happened to be Spanish alongside, only now realising it, Emmett. There was an empty seat next to him so I plopped myself down with a huff, crossing my arms.
"What's got your panties in a twist?" Emmett wondered. I glared up at him.
"I haven't heard that phrase in over a hundred years, so can it." I growled.
"I was just trying to be kind."
"I'm sorry. It's just your dumb...dumb brother. He's getting close to Bella, and-"
"Your a protective sister." Emmett guessed. I sighed, nodding reluctantly.
"I don't want her to be dragged into this world." I told him, "One of my first families found out and they were slaughtered, I swore to never let anyone know." Emmett and I were silent the rest of the lesson. When everyone got up and left the classroom, Alice was waiting for Emmet.
"Alex!" Alice greeted, chirpy. I guess she was here for me. "Edward texted me, he said that Bella had to go home early so he gave me the keys for your truck for you to take home." Alice held out a set of keys that were indeed the keys for mine and Bella's truck. I took them from her reluctantly.
"Did he say why she went home?" I asked her.
"Her biology class were doing blood tests." I nodded.
"Tell him thank you for me, but also slap him for me."
"Will do."
