Chapter 9

When everyone was ready, we walked out to the cars. Jasper was taking the babies in the truck. I was going to drop the girls off at school/daycare with the Impala. The girls were so excited to see it. Bella, who had arrived last Friday, was taking the old truck Charlie got for her from Billy. She hadn't gotten a chance to meet the Cullens as they were always over while she was in her room unpacking or sleeping.

"Why did you get two new cars but I didn't?" she whined. "You don't deserve it. Just cause you were raped."

"What the fuck is your problem," I asked. "I've done literally nothing to you ever in our lives."

She rolled her eyes and ignored me. Have you ever wanted to hit someone with fourteen buses? Cause I have. She's acted this way our entire lives. I guess today I'm gonna have to have my shield up. I don't want Ed judging her. She can be pretty mean to me, but she's really sweet to others. I want her to have a chance to make friends.

When we got to school, she had walked away from me to go to the office. That's where she met Eric. I had seen him around. He's very nice. I think it's good she met him. Jaz and I made our way to the lunch room with the rest of our family. I heard Bella asking about us, more specifically the Cullens.

"Who are they?" she asked.

"The Cullens," Angela replied.

"They're Dr. and Mrs. Cullen's foster kids," Jessica told her. "They moved down here from Alaska, like, and few years ago."

"They kind of keep to themselves," Angela added on.

"Yeah cause they're all together," Jessica said, gaining the attention of Bella. "Like together, together. The blonde girl, that's Rosalie, and the big, dark-haired guy, Emmett, they're like a thing. I'm not even sure that's legal."

"Jess, they're not actually related," Angela interrupted.

"Yeah but they live together. It's weird," she said. "And, okay, the little, dark-haired girl's Alice. She used to be with Jasper, the blond one who looks like he's in pain. But apparently he dropped her for the other dark-haired girl, Kennedy, who just moved here in August from I don't even know where."

"Yeah I know her," Bella said, rolling her eyes. "She's my cousin. She's from Indiana."

"Really? No way," Jessica said, uninterested. "Anyway, um, Dr. Cullen's like this foster dad slash matchmaker."

"Maybe he'll adopt me," Angela said.

"Who's he?" Bella said, seemingly more interested in Ed than us.

"That's Edward Cullen," Jessica informed. "He's totally gorgeous, obviously, but apparently nobody here's good enough for him. Like I care, you know? So, yeah. Seriously, like, don't waste you time."

"Wasn't planning on it," Bella said, obviously planning on it.

For the rest of lunch, Bella and Ed kept staring at each other. Edward said he was intrigued by her because he couldn't read her thoughts. Damn. He couldn't read mine before and I wasn't this special. Whatever.

At the end of the day, Edward came out of the school looking angry. He said something about Bella being his blood singer and almost losing control. He hadn't hunted in a while as he was always eating human food. A little while after him, Bella also came out looking pissed.
