"I CANT BE WHO YOU ARE"

. . .


The  rest  of  the  year  had  gone by fairly quickly for Clara. It was the end of May, soon it would be summer time. Clara faced the common stressful peaks of high school life, finals. But it wasn't a worry like most human teenagers, because unlike the children who studied and studied to get perfect marks. Clara had to ensure she coasted along, she couldn't get perfect or even near perfect marks. It would be to obviously, even suspicious. So her worry was for how many she needed to get wrong.

But besides that, things were fairly quiet. Bella and Edward still had their strange relationship. And Clara had yet to see Paul after their last goodbye. She knew this was the safest option for him, this would ensure his safety and his life. She didn't have a clue if the word got to Charles of her where abouts. But she couldn't risk it. Not now. Not ever.

"Ball- tonight. You in?" Alice asked, her excitement radiating off of her body. The pixie like girl gave her sister a grin before pointing to the stairs ahead of them. "It's supposed to storm, Bella and Edward are coming."

"Don't you think it's a little dangerous for her.. What if she gets hit- have you met Emmett? His aim is terrible, almost as bad as his jokes." Clara said listening to two sets of footsteps come bounding down the stairs. One louder than the other. "Hey Bella, hope he wasn't bothering you."

Edward rolled his eyes at his little sister before giving her a mischievous grin. "She will be fine, no one will hurt her. You sound like me, I think we've been spending to much time together."

"Bella this will be your future. Choose wisely or else you'll be like me in 50 years." Bella gave the red head a grin, she already enjoyed her company. Almost as much as she enjoyed Edwards. "So who won that bet anyways? She's still alive and well- damnit Alice you won again didn't you."

Alice walked in front of Clara with her eyebrow raised proudly, a mischievous grin set on her cute face. Clara groaned loudly, her head rolling back dramatically. "I could've looked into the future but I didn't. You should be disqualified."

Edward and Bella left the room silently, Edward shaking his head on the way out. "I won."

"Actually I won " Alice huffed crossing her arms. "I bet she'd make it in one piece, no injuries no nothing and they'd be happily together. You bet that he'd talk to her eventually but she'd somehow end up hurt, nerves from being around Edward. But none the less hurting herself. And Emmett- well he guessed her arm would fall off and that's not entirely possible. Edwards not that crazed, so we all knew that wouldn't happen."
