The morning after, part of me did not want to believe that the day before ever happened.
Everything seemed so unbelievable to my mind. Nevertheless, the other part of me was happy that it wasn't only a dream.
It felt as if I was living in an actual fairytale in real time.
Yet, I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I now knew that I was in love with my best friend.
Furthermore, my best friend that I was in love with was a girl and not a boy — the gender I thought was my only preference.
Not only that too, but the girl that I was in love with was also a vampire.
How could that even be so? How was this even true?
Vampires shouldn't exist in the real world, that shouldn't even be possible — but it was.
Even though Alice was a vampire — a creature known to only drink the blood of humans in storybooks and horror films — I still wanted to love her.
I even began to wonder if my feelings for her started way before that very day that took place yesterday — that likely was true, though I believed my true feelings for her were finally accepted by me when I decided to kiss her, thus making the feeling stronger in my heart for her.
I was eager to know what Bella thought of all this, now knowing she was in the know of this as well. However, I did not plan to reveal yet to Bella about me and Alice's "relationship" and what all happened the day prior.
To Bella's knowledge, in the meantime, Alice and I were close friends and nothing more — that was all I was comfortable with her and anyone else knowing for now.
Although I was terrified that Edward was going to hear all about it in my mind and possibly mention it to Bella — revealing my own secret — I still felt an inch of hope that he would also know from my thoughts how important it was for me to keep this between me and Alice for the time being, which would hopefully keep him from saying anything.
That same morning, I wasn't planning to drive my car to school as customary, as Alice offered the previous day to drive me there with the desire to spend more time with me — a thrilling proposal I couldn't decline.
Yet, the apprehension I felt wondering how other students at school would react increased the closer the time ticked to Alice's arrival.
I had already informed my mom about my transportation plans that morning before she left for work — she was of course skeptical of the idea at first, but decided to let it go, as she had no reason to worry about Alice or any of the other Cullens seeing as how much good things she had heard about them, confirming they were not bad influences to her daughter.
