Yeee! i finally wrote something.. i think im going to write regularly now :D hope you like it !!
‘Contacts?’
‘In green. Yes.’
‘Enough to last the day?’
‘Yes.’
‘Books?’
‘Yes. Yes. Yes! Anymore questions Alice?’ I snapped. I know I shouldn’t. She’s only trying to help.
‘No. I think you’ve got everything. Were taking my Porsche so go get in. Jasper’s already there waiting.’ Instructed Alice while dancing over to Esme to say goodbye. When I say dance, I mean literally dance. Alice doesn’t just walk, she glides or dances or prances.
I had the walking, the talking even the behaviour of humans sussed and out of the way. Blink, breath, fidget and move. I was the new Cullen, and as the rest of my brothers and sisters had ‘graduated’ I will be all on my own. I know it will be tough. Another freak to stare at. I’m just going to have to hold my head up and push through it. I want this though and I want to be able to at least seem normal. As I slide into the Porsche Jasper turned the key and it responded with a purr. That low purr, so soothing. I relaxed and melted into the leather seats with a low sigh. I could tell Jasper was trying to relax me as well so I welcomed the calmness and closed my eyes. What if they all hate me? What if I do something wrong? Will I find some new friends.
‘Harley, you will be fine.’ Jasper murmured from the front seat.
‘Really? Alice said it will be fine but I’m still not sure. What was it like Jasper? All of the humans?’ This time he turns to face me.
‘It can be… difficult. At first I didn’t think I could cope, but it got easier. Just be yourself, well not totally yourself because your vampire, and people will like you for who you are.’ Jasper could be very helpful at times.
‘Thanks J.’
‘Anytime’
‘Ok! Everyone ready?’ Chirps Alice and she slides into the car.
‘Think so. Now let’s go before I change my mind.’ And with that Jasper puts his foot down on the peddle and we’re off. Vampire speed.
So I check in, get my time table and papers and head off to first class. Mathematics. I was always good at this when I was human and now I had my super brain I knew it was going to be easy. When I came in I took the first free seat in the back corner of the classroom. I don’t know whether it was me just being self-conscious or if it actually happened, but people’s eyes seemed to follow me from the front to the back. Just staring, not talking. When I started to take out my books a girl from the other desk came over and quietly sat next to me.
‘Hey. You must be new. I’m Bethany but Beth for short.’ Using human speed I turned to smile at her. When my eyes met her face I instantly recognised her soft hazel eyes and long brunette hair. She was pretty but in a cute way. Her faded freckles over the bridge of her nose along with her thick eyelashes gave her the cuteness.
‘Hello. I’m Harley Cullen. That’s right, the new girl.’ I mumbled. I guess I better get used to ‘the new girl’.
‘A Cullen, Huh? I didn’t realise there were 7 of you.’
‘No. Always been 7 of us.’
‘Oh. Well, nice to meet you Hayley. Hey, if you want we could have lunch together and I could show you around.’ How nice? I thought she would avoid me instantly.
‘Um, thank you. I would like that. I have Biology before lunch so I’ll meet you outside there.’
‘I’ll see you then.’ And then all talking died when Mr. Franck walked in and started the lesson. As I said it was easy. I had already done the work back when I was human.
At lunch I met Beth and we grabbed lunch and got talking. When we were done she took me off around the school and we talked some more. We ended up at the swimming pool where swimming pracise was going on.
‘Oh! Swimming practise. Hey, you will want to see this Harley. Tristan is ace!’
‘Tristan, who is he?’
‘We’ve known each other since we were little. He is like my best friend but this is what he does. Swim. It is all he ever does to be honest! He is the school champion.’
She dragged me in and we quietly took a seat while we watched him do lap after lap. He didn’t stop, just kept on going. His arms were so strong. He did the butterfly stroke and all I could do was watch intently at how he effortlessly glided through the water. I could see why he was good. When he finally came up for air and sat on the side, Beth dragged me over to say hi.
‘Wow Tristan. Getting better at that butterfly every day’ Beth said as we wandered over. He looked up and what I saw stunned me. He raised his head to look at Beth, thinking she was alone, but his eyes met mine and held me there. Those eyes. I could have drowned in them. A darling shade of deep blue and framed by thick, black eyelashes. His hair was wet but still amazing as it flicked out in all directions. It was a sandy-blonde with lighter and darker blonde entwined in. Droplets of water spilled down onto his lightly tanned skin and then continued to slide down his front and over his perfectly framed body. This perfect boy was beautiful.
‘Hey Beth’ He mumbled, still staring at me.
‘This is Harley. She has just joined us.’
‘Hey’ I almost whispered but he was still staring.
‘Oi! Tristan. Snap outta it. Be nice and greet Harley like the gentleman you are’ giggled Beth.
‘Oh. Sorry Beth. Since when have you been my mother? Hey Harley, Tristan. A pleasure to meet you’ Then he took a small bow and faced Beth.
‘Gentlemanly enough for you Miss?’
‘I believe so. Now go dry off and head off to lesson. I’ll meet you after school in the parking lot’ demanded Beth with a superior smile.
‘Yes my lady. Bye Harley, I’ll see you around.’ And with that he turned and walked into the changing rooms.
‘Wow girl. He’s got an eye for you.’ Beth commented.
‘And I see he obeys you a lot.’ I giggled. Beth laughed too and we walked out chattering about how she has ‘trained’ Tristan to even carry her books. By the end of the day I had tried to find out as much about Tristan as I could. He is the school’s top swimmer, him and Beth have been friends since kindergarten and are nothing more, he doesn’t date even though he is admired by almost every girl in the school. As I walked to the Porsche all I could think about was Tristan. Alice sensed my mood and smiling to her self knowingly, ill have to fill her in soon.
‘Contacts?’
‘In green. Yes.’
‘Enough to last the day?’
‘Yes.’
‘Books?’
‘Yes. Yes. Yes! Anymore questions Alice?’ I snapped. I know I shouldn’t. She’s only trying to help.
