Monday had rolled around and I was getting ready for school. Sunday I didn't go into work, as Carlisle called and said he was taking his children hiking since there was sun. I also took advantage of the sunny day and kidnapped Bella. We went to the mall for a few hours.
The good weather didn't stick around.
Today,the sky was dark and angry, the skies threatening to start pouring any minute. A thunder storm was coming. I dressed in skinny jeans, along sleeved Ravenclaw Quidditch team shirt, and my raincoat. I then slipped my feet into my favorite black boots. Shoving some gloves on my hands and a beanie on my head, I prepared to brave the day. I grabbed my bag and sprinted to my previously unlocked car, and cranked up the heater. I hated being cold.
I drove to school, glancing anxiously up at the sky every time I could.I hated driving in heavy rain. Well, I was scared to drive in heavy rain. After my dad...I shook the thoughts out of my head as I pulled into school.
"Hi Alice, Hi Emmett!" I waved, walking over to the two. Edward, who was now back at school, decided he didn't like me either.
"Hey kiddo!" Emmett smiled, lugging an arm around me in a side-hug.
"Hi Addie!" Alice greeted, also flashing me a cute smile. Alice was like a pixie, small and lithe, with short spiky hair. I had wondered why everyone in the family had those strangely colored eyes, but I figured it didn't matter much.
"Lets get inside before it starts raining." I muttered, glaring suspiciously at the sky. We all ran into the building, and just as the doors shut,
BOOM.
Lightening flashed and the floodgates opened, the parking lot covered in sheets of rain. I couldn't even see my car.
Alice, Emmett, and I went our separate ways to our lockers, however I knew that Emmett would meet up with me just before class started. Another loud bang made me flinch. I couldn't stand thunderstorms anymore, and I used to love them. I clutched my books to my chest, holding onto them as if they were my life line, as I quickly made my way to class.I didn't even say hi when Bella greeted me. I just ran passed her. I couldn't think straight.
I sat heavily in my seat, just waiting for the storm to pass. God, I hoped it passed.
"Adeline!"
I jumped at looked wide-eyed at a concerned looking Emmett.
"Addie,are you ok?" He frowned, his eyebrows furrowed in concern.
"Yeah.I just...don't like thunderstorms." I sighed, taking off my beanie and gloves. I ran a hand through my hair so I didn't have hat-head.
"Maybe you should go home." He suggested. I shook my head.
"No...I can't drive with the weather like this. It's best I stay here and try to work through this irrational fear." I said, nodding my head decisively. I couldn't let my dad's death control me. He gave me a small smile.
"Alright. But don't feel bad if you need to go home."
"I'll be alright, Em." I smiled at him, and then looked to the teacher as class started.
The rest of the day went pretty well. I still jumped at the thunder, but I didn't have any more panic attacks. At lunch, I sat with Bella and her group of friends, who weren't my favorite. Except for Angela, she was sweet. Bella wasn't participating in conversation, too busy staring at the good looking Edward Cullen, who was staring at her,too.
"Bella...take a picture, it will last longer." I snorted, looking at her. She blushed.
"I was staring again, huh?"
