Selena was crouched awkwardly on her stool in front of her canvas. Face almost pressed against it as she carefully painted the red of the dress she was painting. Barley breathing so she wouldn't mess up, because getting red off of white was a pain.
Selena had always loved the way red and white had contrasted, something about it beautiful and destructive all at once. Rosalie couldn't help but be mesmerized as she watched the girl paint the scene. The way she barley moved unless to take more paint onto the brush and the way her nose scrunched when she was concentrated.
Rosalie was so mesmerized by the human she didn't hear Max enter the house until they were down the hall. Without looking back she jumped from the window and ran into the forest behind her house.
"You're supposed to be sleep for another 10 minutes." Max said as they entered the room and approached Selena. "But I'm guessing you didn't sleep at all."
"Sleep is for the weak." Selena muttered, causing Max to sigh. "Move you're in my light." Max obligated the girls wishes and moved to sit on the bed.
"I'm going to go make breakfast, get ready now."
"You don't have to cook for me." Selena said as she pulled back from the canvas to see how she progressed over the night.
"Nova said too, plus it's good practice for my future wife."
"Fine." Selena said standing and stretching her back popping and cracking. "Where is Nova anyway?"
"Cheer stuff."
"Right."
-
"So the teams decided already?" Kayla asked Logan and Selena as they sat at the lunch table.
"Think so." Logan said. "I mean honestly it looks pretty good."
"Let's just hope it plays good." Selena said. "I want candy." She reached her hand out to Scarlett who tended to carry a whole stores worth of candy in her bag. "Thanks love." She leaned back against Max who she was using chair, due to lack of chairs.
"No problem." Scarlett responded and went back to working on her homework.
"First football games Sunday. Whose coming?" Ty asked.
"I'm game." Selena said. "Who you playing against?"
"Bulldogs." Matt said with a mouth full of food, making Selena cringe.
"Ouch heard they're captain huge. Like hulk huge." Max said.
"We'll win." Tyler said confidently. "Besides bigger don't mean better."
"Getting the feeling we're not taking about football anymore." Nova said making the table snicker. "Well we have to go we're the cheerleaders."
"Gonna be cheering for me baby?" Ty asked her.
"In your dreams."
"Always."
-
"Alright to start this year off right we're going to be doing a project." Lydia, the chemistry teacher said to the class, only to receive groans of protest from most of them. "Perfect, partners are you're seat partners. Use this period to plan, due in two weeks and then we'll do a week of presentations." Another round of groans was heard. "Now get to planning."
Selena reached over the desk to grab the pile of packets for the kid in front of her. She grabbed one for Rosalie and one for herself before passing them back. She hands Rosalie hers and starts looking through all the requirements. She lets a sigh escape and Rosalie laughs a little.
"So what do you want to the project on?" Rosalie asks the human, who shrugs in response. "That's not very helpful." Selena smirks at the joke.
"Whatever's easiest honestly." Selena tells her. "Less work. Good grade."
"Fair enough." Rosalie crosses off some options. "Anything in particular your interested in?"
"In chemistry?" Rosalie nods. "When it ends." Rosalie has to bite her laugh to stop a laugh. "Sorry I'm being annoying."
"Not really." Selena smiles at her. "How about this one." She shows Selena the page on the battery project and engines.
"I like it."
"Then that's settled. When can you work on it?"
"Whenever you have time. Except before 6 this week, soccer." Rosalie nods. "Oh and the football game this Sunday."
"That's fine."
"You coming to the game?"
"Probably not." Rosalie says packing her bag, the bell was going ring soon. "Not really my thing."
"Fair enough." The bell rings and the two walk out together. "See you at practice?" Rosalie nods and Selena waves before walking away.
"That was cute." Rosalie turned to see Jasper and Emmett standing behind her, grinning like maniacs.
"Shut up. Both of you." She said turning her nose in the air before walking away.
"I didn't even say anything." Jasper argued.
"You were thinking it." Rosalie snarled at him.
"Why Rose I didn't know you could read minds." Emmett said. "Seems you and Edward are more alike than you let on."
"I will end you."
"Children be nice." Jasper said sending out waves a calm. "Let's go to class now."
-
"My parents can run faster than that and they're dead." Selena yelled at the field of soccer players. Her own set team included. "Pick up the pace or you'll be running suicides till you actually die."
"Don't you think you should be a little nicer?" Jason asked looking the older girl.
"Nicer doesn't win games." Selena told him. "Hey Max, you won't get a future wife if you don't pick up your feet." Max responded by flipping her caption off.
"Swan seems to be doing well." Jason commented. "Better than any other prospects."
"I know."
"Fuck you for poaching her."
"Language." Coach said as he came up behind the two. "Hey Lorenzo, you skipped my class you don't get to try out, get off my field." Selena laughed a little as she saw the junior who decided to try for JV get booted. "Ridiculous."
"Damn that's tuff." Jason said.
"Not like he was any good anyway." Selena said shrugging. "Alright break time." The players on the field stopped some collapsing. "Swan come here."
"Yea?" Renesemee asked as she approached Selena.
"You're doing well, I just wanted to know how you feel about the team."
"Oh they seem nice enough. Although Kayla is kinda aggressive."
"In general or to you?"
"General."
"Yea that sounds right. You'll get used to it, she's really competitive." Renesmee nodded. "We'll get ready security half's about to start." The vampire nodded and jogged back to the field.
"I see you run a tight ship Reno." Selena turned around to see the Cullen Hale Swan family standing behind her. The one who spoke she remembered as Emmett.
"Best way to keep it running." Selena shrugged. "Now excuse me I have a group of spirits to crush."
