Vampire Baseball Pt 1

Chapter Ten – Vampire Baseball part 1: Let the Games Begin

My pen was tapping on my desk, my eyes glued on the clock in front of me. I could see the annoyed glances of my fellow classmates but honestly, I didn't care. I just wanted to get out of here and head to the baseball game... which was ridiculous. How could a single name send such excitement through my body?

The bell rang, my books and other items being thrown into my bag with little care. I knew what it looked like, that I couldn't wait to get over to the Cullen's house. And I wasn't going to lie, I was. I wanted to see who this man was and to see if my reactions were nothing more than a coincidence. And sure enough, as I stepped out of the class, Alice was already there, dragging me along to head out to the parking lot.

"Oh I can't wait! And just wait until I dress you up! I have to make you look beautiful for the first time!" Alice called, skipping to her car. I paled considerably, forcing the girl to stop in her pursuit.

"Please tell me it's not like you dressed me when we met them?" I questioned, hoping beyond hope that we weren't. I hated that dress and it was a relief when I finally got out of it. Alice giggled at my face before shaking her head at me, pushing my body to her car.

"Nope! You'll like this outfit this time! Now hurry up! We don't have enough time!" she squealed, shoving me into her car. I laughed at her enthusiasm as she peeled out of the parking lot, driving as fast as she could to her house. It was then that I noticed the sky, seeing the dark storm clouds rolling in.

"Um, Alice, it's gonna rain soon," I told her. Alice merely hummed, letting me know that they need the cover of the storm to play. I looked at her funny, not sure how to take the news but I decided that I would just take her word for it. But it meant that the showers would probably be harsh here shortly and I really didn't want to be caught in the rain.

"Almost there, so you can quit bouncing your leg," Alice giggled at my enthusiasm, forcing a blush to the surface. I was about to tell her to knock it off but instead I was caught off guard when we pulled up to her house. And by house, I mean a freaking mansion. It was a massive place and it was obvious that it was open and airy. It was like you felt a sense of security, like you could be yourself without judgement. That was how it seemed to me but Alice didn't allow me a moment to even look around as she suddenly dragged me from the car and through the front door. I felt dizzy with how fast she was moving that I didn't even get a moment to say hello to the few people already inside... or to tell the blonde girl to stop glaring at me as Alice took me upstairs and into her room.

"Okay, Alice, don't ever do that again. I'm human, remember?" I doubled over, trying to catch my breath. Alice gave a bell like laugh before she moved me to sit down, supplies for makeup and such already on the vanity in her room. I looked at her in fear, not sure how to respond to her joy but I didn't have a moment to think as she suddenly began to do everything, pausing only once to look at her door.

"Oh, hey Rosalie. This is Mikhaila," Alice went back to work on my face, not letting me look over at the girl who joined us. I heard a snort before a sigh, Rosalie stepping into the room. I felt hands in my hair, my body stiffening before glancing up when Alice finally gave me enough time to do so.

"Hi," I muttered, staring up at the blonde woman. She was absolutely gorgeous, literally a model from a magazine. Her long golden locks were wavy and her lips a nice shade of red. Even her eyes seemed to match her looks, which made me feel insignificantly less as a person because of her.

"Hey," she sighed, running her fingers through my hair. "I'm Rosalie. And I'll be honest with you. I don't like this situation at all but if it makes him happy, then I'm not going to stop it. Just... keep in mind everything you are going to lose. Okay?"
