Edward's POV
It has been two years since a witch from Ketchikan turned me human again.
Not only I became a human, I was also younger I could feel it, I asked her why she did it, she said so I could enjoy my life, whatever that meant.
I thought it would only affect me but to my surprise when I returned home, all my family got affected as well, not entirely though they had some vampire traits in them.
Alice could still see the future, Jasper could still interfere with your emotions, they were all still strong, didn't have to sleep but they could if they wanted to. They were glitchy vampires I used to say, and they would all laugh at it.
I was the only one that got younger maybe because I was closer or because she wanted to, I don't know, it is still a mystery.
My father was absolutely fascinated by the fact that I was younger and human, of course he ran some tests to determine if I was completely human and to figure out how old I was, we weren't certain but I was shorter, slimmer and my voice didn't quite sounded the same.
After the tests Carlisle said I was in fact 100% human, he couldn't believe it. He also said I was around 13 years old I was baffled, so where my siblings it was a weird new situation.
My mother couldn't hide her happiness, of course she was still concerned but she was relieved and happy to see me enjoy life again and to watch me grow up literally.
I had to rely on my family to look for answers, because there was no way they were going to let me go find answers by myself, with my new age and being just human it was impossible.
After months of them looking everywhere for the witch and a solution to this, they came up with nothing, it was like she never existed.
Carlisle was worried about me so he came into my room one day to talk to me, he told me he wasn't sure if I will ever be like before and that maybe he could try and turn me back again if it was possible, but I had to grow up a little more maybe to 17 again if I wanted to, but in the mean time I had to enjoy my life, I had to enjoy being human again and enjoy the small things life offer.
At the beginning it was confusing and I didn't know how to deal with the situation, but my father's words made me want to go on and enjoy my new life, I had no other option I accepted it as it was.
We moved to forks again due to the fact that no one could see my new age self.
I went back to school and became a normal human teenager, I was supposed to start in high school with my other siblings but since I regressed to a 13-year-old I started in 8th grade.
I didn't mind it either it was easier and something new to me, I had the best grades and was a good student, the teachers and the school staff liked me but that came with its own burden, not all of the students liked me.
Now two and a half years later, I'm going through my sophomore year of high school, it was not going so well either though.
I have always been a little introvert, I like my own personal space and I like to hang out with my family only.
They say I live in my head a lot sometimes, they are probably right, more now ever since I lost my gift I've had this peace I haven't had in a long time.
In high school though being like me only means one more reason to be bullied.
In 8th grade there was this kid that always annoyed me but when we started high school he became unbearable. He was always bothering me, mimicking me, making obscene sounds even though I ignored him most of the time I didn't like him at all.
Mike Newton the blonde hair boy that talked only because he could, he ran his mouth like a water stream, looks like he doesn't even think about what he was going to say next he just says it, that was him the kid that always got on my nerves.
I saw him and his buddies after school the other day cornering a girl, they were making her uncomfortable, you could notice by the way her short answers were trying to end their conversation.
I decided to come closer and do something;
"Elly I was waiting for you, are you coming?" I said out loud,
They turned around surprise by my prompt appearance
"Aaah, yes I'm coming" she responded immediately.
Ricky and Tony both turned to looked at me and gave me a threatening stare, like if I could care less about it I gave them a cocky side smirk and we walked away.
"Thank you so much Edward, they were insisting on wanting me to go with them to Mike's cabin, I wanted to get away from them but they were surrounding me"
"Don't worry I'm glad I could hell you, I don't like them either" I smiled at her
"I think that no one does" She chuckled,
"bye Edward thanks again" she said when she saw her friends coming our way.
The next day as soon as I arrived, they all surrounded me. I was not surprised, Ricky the big fat dude that smelled like onions said "Hey there Eddy boy" I hated when they used that nickname, I winced.
"what's up guys? are you guys hurt I didn't let you take that girl against her will?" I was standing in front of him, "you guys are disgusting" I said wrinkling my nose
"Calm down there Edward, we were not trying to do anything we just wanted to party she would have make it more fun" Ricky now really uncomfortably close to me said as he winked at the others,
"maybe you can join the party some time too, I'm sure it'll be fun" Tony said and all of them were laughing at his stupid joke.
I turned to leave because I saw Alice coming our way, and as I walked away I could hear their mocking chicken sounds but I decided to ignore them.
Tony, Steve and Ricky, were seniors, they were big guys part of the football team, Mike was a sophomore just like me a little shorter than me too, he didn't seem to fit in with them but they kept him around because his parents have a cabin in the woods were they could party and drink alcohol without getting in trouble, they thought they ruled the school and bully everyone they didn't like.
At home that afternoon, I was getting something to eat when I heard my siblings coming to the kitchen.
"Hey Edward, is everything alright? I saw what happened at school, I heard everything they said you know" Alice said behind me, "if you need some help, we can tell Emmett and jasper they will scare the heck out of them"
Jasper and Emmett gave each other a side smile placing their fist in their other hand "yes bro we could... you know give them a little piece of their own, is not like anyone would say anything everyone hates them, isn't that right" Emmett bragged
"WHAT, no you guys stay out of this the last thing I need is my older brothers to come on my defense, that will make it worse I'm telling you"
"Are you scared there little bro?" Emmett said smiling through his words
"NO, I'm not, leave me alone" I said raising my voice and walking away to my room.
At school; "Hey class good morning we have a new student Bella, please behave and be nice to her make her feel at home" Mr. Simon said
I turned to look at her and she looked at me too, she walked my way and chose the seat next to mine because it was the only empty one.
I gave her a smile and she smiled back, we started talking and she seemed nice, I liked her.
She was quiet, only said a few words and kind of awkward like me, she just moved here from Arizona.
Even though I only had two classes with her, I looked forward to those two classes now. We have been hanging out since then.
She was easy to talk to, she couldn't care less about material things or the way she looked or how her hair was every second of her day and she was beautiful what else could I ask for, I was liking her more not as a friend but as something else but I didn't know if she felt the same way.
My sister Alice and I went to lunch, Alice was a senior already and she didn't had lunch at the same time as me, but she change it so she could be with me on her last year of high school.
Other times we were in the same grade but since my age regressed that changed and also because she felt bad about me.
I was looking for Bella everywhere in the lunch room, I found her sitting with the most annoying and pretentious girl in school "Jessica" to be honest she would be the perfect match for Mike they were both selfish and superficial.
Angela was talking to Bella, she was smart and sweet, I liked her at least her and Bella were alike I could see them being close friends. I decided to walk towards Bella but then Erick and Mike joined, auugh Mike! what is he doing there, he was getting on my nerves.
"Edward", my sister's voice got me off my head "Let's sit here" I found a spot she smiled. "Yeah, this is fine, thank you Alice" but I continued to look towards her table, I was looking at Mike too, I saw how he was flirting with her, making him be the center of attention so she could look at him.
I knew Bella would not like him, the way she is and what I know about her she was not a match for him, but I wasn't sure of that so I was starting to feel jealous. I wish I could read their minds right now.
"Edward are you even paying attention to me" Alice said
"Nope, sorry"
she smacked my hand "ugghh Edward" we laughed in unision.
"So, Edward you have been so distracted, what's wrong?"
"Nothing", I brushed off
"No , I know you and there is something going on, what's up? Is it about that new girl Bella right? she is pretty you know, I can see you like her"
"No… what no... aaamm, is not about her" I could feel my blood in my cheeks
"Relax Edward I won't say anything to her, is just that I saw you looking that way intensely"
"Yeah, it is not because of her, it's because this stupid guy Mike and his friends, they think they're the shit, pardon my language sis"
"Edward have they done something to you? Huh is weird ever since your human I don't have many visions about you and if I do, they're blurry" she said worriedly
"No, no they only wish to do something"
"don't downplay this Edward, I know how you are, you may think is nothing important but"
"Shshsh Alice" I cut her off "everything is fine DONE"
"Okay if you say so but if I see or hear something I don't like I will say something Edward"
"Okay mom" I laughed
"ja ja ja" she said sarcastically rolling her eyes.
Days passed but over and over, again and again, Mike, Tony and the others kept on bothering me, bumping into me, pushing me around and calling me names, I was not afraid of them, but I would avoid them if I could, I was getting tired of them.
Except for Mike he seemed to shrink whenever he was alone, he didn't seem as confident and tough as when he was with the others, maybe he was afraid of them but why did I care he was a jerk too.
Alice of course said something at home because we were sitting at the dining table chatting and getting up to date with my family when...
"Edward, how is school son? I haven't heard much about your day, what's up? My father sitting next to me said out loud, trying to sound casual but I knew instantly where this conversation was going, "Good, it's been good" I could see everyone now starring, it made me uncomfortable.
He gave me a minute to say something else before he spoke again, with his lips in a thin line and his eyebrows furrowed "Are you sure? Alice mentioned something about some kids giving you a hard time at school"
I turned and rolled my eyes at Alice,
"These kids..." I paused and took a deep breath "They are not giving me a hard time exactly, is just that every time I bump into them, they always have something dumb to say, I just ignore them, they are annoying"
Of course he didn't believe me, but he didn't push that's something I loved about Carlisle he always gave me my space
"Do you want us to go talk to the principal or someone at school that could help you?"
"Yes, Edward is the only way those kids will stop if you don't say anything they will keep doing it may be not to you but to others" my mother said looking concerned
"No mom, seriously if something else happen I let you know promise".
The conversation ended there I did not mention anything after that and they didn't push either.
I usually ride with Alice but sometimes I need space a word she doesn't know, I walk sometimes to get away form her.
I'm still working on my license my parents are afraid I will get into an accident but I miss riding my car.
This time Emmett went to pick me up from school he wanted us to go see the cars so I could pick mine. When he arrived he got in between of Mike and I, stopping a fight that was about to happen after he had said something about Bella, I pushed him against the wall outside in the parking lot.
Emmett was more than ready to get into action and have a fight, but that made me mad I don't need him or anyone but no one get that.
One day after school, they were sitting in the football field looking at the cheerleaders practice, so I decided to walked to them and asked what the hell they wanted and to leave me alone but all they did was lough at me pissing me off, Tony stood right in front of my face I could smell his stinky breath
"Hey Eddy I have a question for you, your dad is Dr. Cullen isn't?"
"Why do you care who my father is" I said clenching my fist,
Ricky now also standing next to us "It might come in handy someday Edward you never know" he lough and turned to see the others.
I was felling the anger running through me at this point but I held my breath to control myself.
"yeah watch your back Eddy," one of them said
I was about to do something but in the corner of my eye I saw Emmett and Jasper walking towards me, "oh no not now" I thought
"What? are you too scared Edward that you had to call your brothers to come save you" Ricky said in a mocking tone
I don't need nobody's help I can take you all on my own, I threw myself on top of him throwing him on the floor punching him in the face, I landed a few blows but then I felt one on my face too, I fell to the floor face up and all of the sudden I had all three of them on top of me kicking and punching me and then I heard Emmett and Jaspers voice close and all of them took off running.
They got caught by the cheerleaders coach, she took all of us to the office, my parents were called of course and I went home with them.
In the car nobody said a word but I could feel my fathers eyes looking at me through the rear view mirror.
We got home and I hurried up to avoid questions and them, but as I was about to go up to my room my father called me I was expecting that of course
"Edward can we have a word son" he said in his soft concerned voice
I went back to the kitchen table where my mother took a seat
"Edward, what happened today? is not like you to start a fight son"
I placed my head down not looking at them
"Edward you are not in trouble, I know who you are and you must of have a reason for this don't you" my father asked with furrow brows
I was silent for a moment and when I was about to say something Alice came and said everything of course "ALICE", I didn't need to read her mind to know she'll do it.
She explained how I have been bullied by Mike and the others since last year and how annoying Mike is, she even told them how I try to avoid them at school, she made it sound like I was afraid or scared of them.
My mother looked at me with her soft eyes that speak loud words I didn't have to read her mind either to know what she was thinking "Edward, why didn't you say anything sweet heart? We could of have done something sooner"
"No mom this is only school stuff, I can fix this on my own, I can just keep ignoring them everyone does everything is fine that's it no big deal!"
"no that's not true" my father cut off
"Edward if it was something easy to fix you would have deal with it differently, not getting into a fight with them. That tells me you were really stressed by them that's why you reacted that way, why didn't you say something?" He put a hand on my shoulder and looked at me in the eye "come on let me take care of that cut would you" his expression softened and he gave me a small smile
"I don't know why I didn't say anything it wasn't important okay, can I go take a shower now it has been a long day, you can take a look at my lip after" I wanted to get out of that conversation. He let go of me and I walked towards the stairs I could feel their stares and their worry but I knew my mother would come to my room more later she always does, it hurt me to leave her worried without an explanation but I couldn't be there anymore I wanted to be alone.
After a few days later my family had finally stopped asking me questions, but I knew my parents told my siblings to keep an eye on me, ever since I turned human I feel like they all care too much for me, but it's okay I guess I understood the fact that human life is so fragile, so many accidents and illnesses I don't blame them.
I have ignored the guys after the fight day every word, every sight, every mock against me I have decided not to pay attention to them and everything seemed to stopped, I think they got bored now that I don't fall in their stupid games.
I have no rights over any of these characters, I just like to write stories about them.
