We got home, Bella was still angry about what happened at the nursery. She goes to put her bag down, though it falls to the floor with a thud. "Your mom called, again," Dad tells us
"You know it's your fault, you shouldn't have told her about the almost accident, you finished?" Bella asks gathering up Dad's mess.
"Yeah," She walks toward the sink, "I suppose you're right, she always did know how to worry,"
"That is for sure," I mumbled
"She seems different, she seems happy," Dad said, "Phil sounds like an alright guy," I sat in the chair in front of him.
"He is," I said, playing with my ring, Bella laughs walking out of the room. I shrugged at my dad. The school the next day came quickly, as did lunch, I sat on the floor in the music room tuning one of the guitars. I started plucking the cords, forming a familiar intro to the Seven nation army.
I'm gonna fight 'em off A seven nation army couldn't hold me back They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I'm talkin' to myself at night Because I can't forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette
I finished the song, I heard someone clap. I turned to see Jasper. I placed the guitar down. "Oh, I wasn't expecting anyone to come in here," I said, tucking some hair behind my ear nervously. I traced my finger over the instrument.
"I don't normally come here, I just noticed you weren't at lunch," He walked over taking a seat on the floor directly across from me. "Play something else," he encouraged, I picked up the instrument, playing a few chords to some songs. The lunch period went by fast as we sat in the music room, laughing and talking.
Bella dragged me out to La Push with her friends. I sat in the van with Angela and Bella, Angela being someone I could stand. "I keep thinking that Eric is going to ask me to prom, and he just doesn't," She told us I frowned. Angela was a sweet, beautiful girl.
"Why don't you ask him?" I asked she looked at me "I mean you are a beautiful girl, he'd be a fool to say no," I told her she smiled
"You think so?" Angela asked I nodded smiling at her
"Yeah, I do," She blushed a group of 3 boys walked up to us, Jacob is one of them.
"Bella, Lilith," He greeted, smiling more so at my sister than me
"Jacob, hey, this is Jacob," Bella introduces him to Angela and Jessica "What are you like stalking us?" Bella asks Jacobs laughs
"You're on my Rez remember," he said causing me to laugh, "Are you two surfing?" I scoffed
"Bella, surfing never," She pushes me passing Jacob a strand of licorice.
"You guys should keep Bella company, her date bailed" Both Eric and Mike get defensive, "She invited Edward," Jessica says through a giggle. I glare
"How many times did you ask Edward on a date, Jessica?" I asked a scowl that crosses her face as she looks at me
"To be polite, that's it," Bella defends herself
"I think it's nice she invited him, nobody ever does," Angela said
"Yeah cause Cullen's a freak," I roll my eyes, silently cursing Bella for bringing me with this band of idiots.
"You got that right," One of Jacobs friends agree.
"You know them?" Bella asks
"The Cullens don't come here," that was overwhelmingly cryptic. Jacob glares at the other boys. We started walking. Bella and I on either side of Jacob.
"What did you friends mean by, you know, the Cullens don't come here," Bella asked as I looked out on the shoreline. I looked back at Jacob waiting for his answer.
"You caught that huh?" I snorted, "I'm not supposed to talk about it," I furrowed my eyebrows
"We can keep a secret," Bella said, looking at him
"Really it's like an old ghost story,"
"Well, we want to know," I said to Jacob
"Okay, um, did you know Quileutes are supposedly descended from wolves," Bella started questioning that statement "that's the legend of our tribe," Jacob continues
"What's the story of the Cullens?" Bella asks as we make it further down the beach.
"They are supposedly descended from this enemy clan, my great grandfather the chief, found them hunting on our land, but they claimed to be something different. So we made a treaty with them if they promise to stay off Quileute land, then we wouldn't expose what they really were to the pale faces," Jacob recited the story
"I thought they just moved here," Bella said
"Or moved back," there was a loud scream that caused Bella to jump. I chuckled at her as we watched Mike chase Angela with a dead animal
"So what were they? Really," Bella asked
"It just a story, Bella," he then motioned for us to move, though I know this wasn't the last I'd hear about this story.
