𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐘 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒, seeing as how the Thornes' appearance had made things a bit grimmer than they have ever experienced. The mere mention of their father, Armand Thorne, from when Miracle had warned Ryan confirmed their assumptions that he and their family really do have a rather dark prestige surrounding them.
If she, the youngest of the Thornes, can be as fearsome as she was earlier, the others couldn't even begin to imagine what the rest of her family's fury would be like.
"Proceed to an available seat, Ms. Thorne." The professor said after he had given back the slip that he signed.
Her class at the moment was Chemistry, and in all honesty, it's one of her favorite subjects. She told herself that she needed to do well in this subject considering that she aspires to be a doctor someday. Having knowledge about Chemistry as a doctor is an important thing considering that the human body is one big sequence of chemical reactions.
Miracle's hazel-brown eyes scanned the room for a vacant seat and, rather conveniently, the only available seat was beside the honey-blonde vampire, Jasper Hale.
What do I do. What do I do. What do I do. Miracle thought over and over again. It was either she suck it up and take a seat next to Jasper or run the hell out of there like a crazy person.
She's had enough crazy for one day. Besides, why was she even worried? It's just Jasper. Just the newest vegetarian vampire in the Cullens that could rip her throat out for even being in the same room as her. No big deal.
Miracle sighed deeply before clenching her hands around the book she's hugging against her chest and started walking towards the honey-blonde vampire.
"Hey." Miracle greeted as soon as she reached him.
Instead of greeting back, he turned his head and looked away from the girl, clenching the edge of the table in front of him as he did.
"Or...not hey." Miracle muttered before sitting down next to him.
She felt him slide his chair away from her a little, still without taking a glance at her. It made her furrow her eyebrows as she watched his rather awkward actions that are aimed to get away from her.
The whole class, despite Miracle's best efforts to focus on the lesson, she was unable to concentrate. The only thing she did the entire one hour watched in silence as Jasper tries desperately to get away from her as much as he could. And it was annoying her.
"Jasper-" Miracle tried to talk to him but, of course, the bell suddenly rang and Jasper was out of his seat instantly.
Miracle watched with wide eyes as Jasper practically ran out of the room. Shooting her eyebrows upwards, she took all of her things off the table and ran out of the room in an irritated manner.
Going out, she almost bumped into the pixie-haired Cullen as she just stood outside the room Miracle was in.
"Oh-" Miracle muttered as she suddenly entered Alice's weird and overly enthusiastic bubble.
"Hi, Miracle!" Alice said, her smile as bright as ever.
"Hey, Alice." Miracle responded, unable to match the vampire's enthusiasm.
"I've been wanting to talk to you." Alice said.
She then took it upon herself to link her arm around Miracle's and started walking, not without the brunette girl looking at the vampire beside her with a confused expression.
"What's up?" Miracle asked, her voice hinting curiosity and awkwardness.
"I just want you to know that I'm so excited for us to be sisters! I can't say the same for Rosie, though. But if you think about it, Rosie doesn't really like anyone. Nevertheless," Alice rambled on before they stopped and moved to stand in front of a very confused Miracle. "Having our families together would be so exciting! It would be like...royalty. And I have the perfect wardrobe for that."
Miracle couldn't help but look at the pixie-haired girl with her wide-open eyes and cocked eyebrows. She stayed like that for about five seconds before she managed to locate her tongue again.
"I'm...sorry. I didn't approve of a fixed marriage or anything when our families had an agreement, right?" Miracle asked.
"No, silly!" Alice responded with her ever-so-cute smile.
"Oh, thank God." Miracle breathed, a smile forming on her lips as she became relieved.
"It's not fixed. It'll come naturally." Alice added before she walked past her.
"Wait, what?" Miracle muttered as she whipped around only to see Alice walking away from her in a rather energetic manner.
Even though Miracle could only see the back of Alice's head, she knew that the pixie-haired vampire has a wide-smile plastered across her face. It was already a given.
As the pixie-haired vampire proceeded to skip around the hallway, Sebastian just got out of another classroom and nearly bumped into her, which makes it the second time Alice almost bumped into someone.
"Oh, Alice." Sebastian said.
Alice's eyes seemed to twinkle at the sight of the brunette vampire before she responded quickly.
"Hi." Alice simply replied.
They stayed there with each of them possessing awkward positions, not knowing who should talk or at least move away first.
Sebastian scratched the back of his neck as Alice nervously squeezed the book she was hugging her chest. It looked like both of them was planning on waiting for the other to do something and it was becoming awkward by the second.
"Sebastian!" Alice and Sebastian heard Parker call out as he approaches them.
With his hands shoved inside the pocket of his pants, he reached the two with his eyes narrowed at the two.
"I better get going." Sebastian told Alice.
Parker couldn't help but cock an eyebrow at how polite and awkward Sebastian was being around Alice.
"Oh, right. Miracle's just down the hall, by the way." Alice said, pointing behind her as she as well moved in a rather uncomfortable way.
"Thank you..." Sebastian said, slowly losing the tensed shoulders he had. "I'll see you around, love."
Alice gripped her books tighter as she fought the urge to smile wider and brighter than ever before when his thick British accent and the way he called her love made her non-beating heart flutter.
She knew that it was pretty common for British people to call people 'love', but still, it never failed to make Alice imaginatively blush.
Sebastian and Alice gave each other genuine smiles before Sebastian finally managed to walk away with Parker. However, Parker couldn't let what just happened slide.
"What was that?" Parker asked as he and Sebastian walked down the corridors of the schools.
"What was what?" Sebastian innocently asked.
"Sebastian, you and Alice literally exchanged lovey-dovey eyes." Parker replied, an amused grin playing on his lips.
Sebastian looked over at his brother as he narrowed his eyes. "I cannot believe you just said 'lovey-dovey'."
"Well, Miracle's kinda rubbing off on me." Parker said as he thought about why he said that as well. "But still, it is true!"
"It is not." Sebastian argued.
"Whatever floats your boat." Parker just responded before they finally dropped the topic, much to Sebastian's relief.
That was when they saw Miracle standing in the middle of the hallway as she stared blankly ahead, still trying to decipher what Alice just said.
"Miracle?" Sebastian called out, snapping her back to reality.
After zoning out, she shifted her gaze towards her brothers, her confused and astounded facial expression not wavering.
"I think I'm getting married." Miracle blurted out.
═══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ═══════
"I really am getting married to one of them! Why won't you believe me?" Miracle said as she and Sebastian drove back home with Parker and Olivia are in the motorcycle in front of them.
"Because it's ridiculous, Miracle. Perhaps Alice was joking." Sebastian said.
"She can see the future!" Miracle exclaimed. "Plus, why would she be joking about that?"
Ever since her talk with Alice, Miracle hadn't shut up about the possibility of her getting married to one of the Cullens every time the four siblings would get together in between classes.
Now that school was over for today, Sebastian is stuck with a frantic Miracle.
"Miracle, you're not getting married, I assure you." Sebastian said.
"You mean, not yet?" Miracle corrected.
"No. You're just not getting married." Sebastian said.
Miracle glanced at him with an unamused look. "Wow. What a brother you are."
"I'll give you fourteen cats." Sebastian said, a teasing grin on his lips.
Miracle ignored her brother's words and continued to rack her brain about who it is that she would get married to.
"It can't be Alice since she already said that we'll be sisters. It can't be Rosalie or Emmett since they're together. Definitely not Carlisle or Esme. So, that leaves...Emo Twinkle-toes or Curly Fries." Miracle explained to herself as they pulled over in front of their home.
"Emo Twinkle-toes and Curly Fries?" Olivia asked as she and Parker got off the bike.
Miracle and Sebastian climbed out of the jeep and approached her sister.
"Edward and Jasper." Miracle responded before she groaned in frustration and continued to explain while they entered the mansion.
"I don't like any of them. Edward's too intense. He furrowed his eyebrows too much when we first met him and I swear he formed a unibrow. As for Jasper, well, I liked him before because he saved my chips. But earlier today, he couldn't even stand being around me. It was annoying." Miracle said.
The subject was immediately dropped when they entered the mansion and saw a circle platform in the living room with a mirror surrounding it. There were several tuxedos and ball gowns with different styles hanging on multiple clothing racks as a couple of tailors arranged them.
The four siblings examined the room with creased foreheads as they tried to figure out what was happening.
"What's this?" Parker asked, eyeing the whole room.
"Good, you're all home. We need to get you fitted." Veronica said as soon as she caught a glimpse of her adoptive children and approached them.
"Ver, what's this about?" Olivia asked.
Armand took it upon himself to answer once he had entered the living room.
"We're hosting a house-warming ball this Friday. Invitations are already sent out to all families in town." Armand said as he approached them, his posture as perfect as ever.
"All families?" Miracle asked.
"All families." Armand simply answered. "You four should begin getting fitted."
The four siblings shared glances before they walked further into the living room as they were assigned to each of their tailors to fit them.
The rest of the Thornes have finished getting fitted and they saved Miracle for last, making sure that she gets the perfect gown considering that the house-warming ball would be the first-ever ball she will attend.
She was currently standing on the platform with what she can only assume was the twenty-seventh dress she had tried since she stepped on to the platform.
"I want curly fries." Miracle muttered as she looked at herself with disgust, not liking the navy-blue gown she was wearing.
"You want Jasper?" Parker asked.
"No! I meant literal curly fries." Miracle said.
Though, Jasper won't be too bad. Miracle thought.
Armand, who was sitting on the couch with a newspaper in hand and a pipe in his mouth which helped in his cravings, looked up from the paper and he eyed the youngest Thorne when he grasped what Miracle was thinking.
"Miracle." Armand called.
The brunette girl turned around and faced her family with the navy blue gown still on her body.
"Yes?" She asked.
The head of the family narrowed his eyes at her as he took out the pipe from his mouth.
"Jasper Hale?" He asked, a curious expression on his face.
Miracle forgot that Armand was the only one able to read her mind, therefore, he read what she just thought. This caused Miracle to widen her eyes a bit as she looked over at her siblings, seeing them look away.
"Wow. Thanks for having my back." Miracle said before she rolled her eyes, averting them towards Armand who was still anticipating an answer.
Armand wanted to hear her say it from her mouth than from her mind.
"Alice told me that I might be getting married soon." Miracle said.
"What?" Armand asked, his eyebrows shooting upward.
"She was just joking!" Sebastian chimed in.
"You're not getting married." Armand said.
"You mean, not yet?" Miracle corrected.
"No. You're just not getting married." He responded.
"Oh, come on! It's not like I'm letting him...razz my berries." Miracle said, the sexual innuendo making her family look up at her with disgust.
"What the bloody hell?" Sebastian commented.
Miracle scanned the facial expressions of her family as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Frost my cupcakes?" She said, asking if they prefer the recent sexual innuendo to the previous one.
"Ew, Miracle, stop." Olivia said.
"Tickle my tail feathers?" Miracle continued, a teasing grin appearing on her lips.
"Miracle." Parker warned.
"Rock my rump." Miracle said, doing a little sexual riding motion as she grinned.
"Miracle!" Veronica exclaimed.
"Cup my coconut?" She continued.
"Miracle Blair Thorne, say one more sexual innuendo and I'll accidentally throw this pillow at your face." Armand said, not in an angry manner, but rather in a demanding manner.
"All right. Fine. Geez, just bringing a little humor in the family." Miracle said.
The family went back into doing their own things. Sebastian reading a book, as usual. Parker and Olivia being the sweetest couple. Veronica picking jewelry that would match her gown. Armand proceeded to read the newspaper and Miracle placed her hands on her hips as she continued to think of more sexual innuendos.
"Ooh! Poke my hontas?" Miracle said.
"Miracle!"
My mom was watching Grey's Anatomy and this scene came up with Callie saying all these sexual innuendos and I was cackling for maybe ten to fifteen minutes skskslsosksjwnssj. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!
