Long Day

Chpt 4

Long day.

Ok for you HP fans, you have to know that in my story Hogwarts and Moldyshorts took place during the 1500's.

If you think about it nothing would change in the HP story at all. Not like technology played a role in the story. So everything happened but Harry didn't age and everyone died of old age but he lived on. How? Why? You'll have to read the future chapters.

Alice made it to first period English with plenty of time to spare. In retrospect this was probably a bad idea. People generally ignored her, stealing glances when they thought she wasn't looking. However, that was not the case this morning. As more student filed in she could feel their eyes on her. It was almost a repeat of when she and her family had started here. She could hope they were simply admiring her outfit or her boots, but she was pretty sure it was the parking lot. Stupid boy. Gorgeous? Yes, Great body? double yes, Awesome car? Hell ya. "Grrrr" "What a total jerk". When she looked around she realized she had spooked the students closest to her. She gave a small smile, making sure to show no teeth and started doodling on her binder.

She saw some girls approaching. This was not going to end well. The blond in the lead spoke up "So Alice who was the guy with the cool car?" Her name was Laurie, she was blond, slim and a cheerleader nuff said. She was considered one of the popular kids and so had a small following of hanger-ons. Of course it would be her. Laurie's little click generally gave her a higher opinion of herself, and so she tended to be a bit braver then the other high school sheep. Alice smiled, watching the fear cross most of their faces. "He's a friend of my dads" She tried to make it sound sweet, but was sure she had failed. "A little young to hang with your dad don't you think? What is he like 18-19?" Laurie was obviously not going to let this go. " Oh! Maybe he's an interm the hospital?" said one of the girls. "Sure wouldn't mind being examined by him" came another one of the followers. Judging by the amount of giggles the rest of them agreed. "Where's he staying?" "Why haven't I seen his car around town?" "What kind of car was that?" the questions were coming at her like bullets from all sides. The visions were building in her head until she snapped. "I don't know" she shouted "I just meet the guy in my shower this morning" as soon as the words left her mouth she didn't have to read the future to know she was screwed. She turned to see all the eyes in the room starring at her. It was amazing how scandal could make them all overcome their fear of her. "It's not what you think" she tried saying "He was taking a shower and I needed my hot iron" she could see this was not helping "He had a towel on for Pete's sake". Augh! This was just getting worse. She put her head down on her desk wondering if there was ever a case of a Vampire dying of embarrassment.

After a few more questions from the school interrogation squad, Mr. Mason finally showed up to stop the madness and to start class. Alice breathed a sigh of relief "Safe for now "she mumbled. Glances into the future only showed more of the same. "Maybe if I tore one of their arms off they would leave me alone". She contemplated the look of surprise on Laurie's face as her arm was forcefully removed and smiled. This thought was soon discarded of course since it would draw attention to her family. The smell of human blood would probably be a bad idea to. In fact aside from total chaos the only choice she could see was more questions. "Stupid boy" she thought for the hundredth time. She saw up to lunch and as before things went fuzzy about that time. She figured that choices hadn't been made yet. The bell drew her from her thoughts. She had spaced the whole period, they probably all thought she was daydreaming about Darian. Like she would ever do that, in fact he was about the last thing on her mind.

The next two classes were much the same. By third period the rumor mill was in full swing. Alice tried to simply keep her mouth shut and even glared at a few people. Darian was everything from, her bodyguard because the Cullens were really in witness protection. That was why they all had the same look, it was plastic surgery. The Crime Lord that Mr. Cullen narked on had tracked them to Forks. Then there was the one were he was a Prince of a small European country and was planning on marrying Alice. She snorted at that one. The girls talking had stopped to look at her before going back to their gossip. Oh yes a vampire princess, sounded like a bad teen novel she thought. Laurie said that he was probably a protégée or something and was really a doctor since he had an expensive car. That he was working with Dr. Cullen on some special case. Alice actually giggled at that one. She couldn't line up the guy eating Coco puffs with one in a lab coat. This just caused another volley of questions which Alice pointedly ignored.
