TWILIGHT: If I Were Bella

-Automatically looking for the nearest haircare store because I'm black and these are unfamiliar territories

-Crying because the nearest store is an hour away and I don't drive yet because I'm from NYC and no one drives there

-Walking up to the school on my first day and being annoyed by all the staring

-"What? Ya'll never saw a black girl before?"

-Almost slapping the shit out of this tall asian kid for coming out of nowhere and scaring the shit out of you

-Ditching Eric Yorkie (Tall asian kid) halfway through the tour because he talks too much

-Going to Biology and noticing the pasty white boy in the back staring hard and covering his nose (Racially motivated?)

-"What do you mean we're lab partners for the rest of the year?! Damn.."

-Getting detention for slapping Jessica because she had the audacity to touch my hair and ask me if it's really mine (And I'll do it again)

-Witnessing the mayonnaise crusader getting all worked up because he can't switch classes

- Him stalking away just saying that he'll just have to "Bare it"...Definitely racially motivated

-Sitting alone at the lunch table when Eric Yorkie shows up with his squad to give me the company I didn't even ask for

-Getting the tea on the Cullen clan

-"They're siblings? THEY'RE DATING???" Sweet Home Alabamaa~~!

-Jessica (She bold AF for sitting near me) tells me about Edward Cullen

-Asking me what I think of him since we're lab partners

-"I mean he's cute or whatever but not during black history month. Ask me again in 14 more days"

*Cue over the top laughter from the entire table*

-Noticing Edward's smirk from across the room (Did he hear me?)

-Edward saves me from getting crushed by a car

-At the hospital I'm waiting with him by the back door

-"Thanks for saving me, you were really fast"

-"I was right next to you"

-"...No you weren't"

-"Yes I was"

-"And the dent in the car?"

-"Adrenaline" (....Gaslight, much?)

-Staying up all night making a conspiracy chart

-Three days later, coming up with the base hypothesis that he's a vampire

-Testing out that theory in class the following day by eating garlic bread for breakfast and purposefully breathing in his face

-Edward matching energy and coming just as close to breathe into my face only his breathe ACTUALLY smells nice....

-Maybe he's not a vampire???

-I got into the larger town over with the gals because I wanted to go to the bookstore and I needed a ride

-Ditching the girls for the bookstore because all I wanted was a ride

-At the bookstore *CUE HOURS OF READING AND RESEARCH WITH BACKGROUND GRUNGEY BOPS*

-EUREKA MOMENT

-"HOLY SHIT I WAS RIGHT!"

-Leaving the bookstore, barely registering that it's nighttime...or the creeps coming towards me

-They're calling out to me and getting closer when some random sports car swerves in front

-Window comes down and it's Edward telling me to get into the car, like wait a minute? How did you find me? Okay he's getting mad let's get into the car!

-He's nagging my ears off and driving a a very irresponsible speed, like I get it your car goes vroom vroom...

-I blurt out that I know he's a vampire

-*Insert screeching stop and face slam against the dashboard here*

-"Yeah, thanks for that, it's not like I didn't already have a concussion"

-"Vampires aren't--"

-"Don't even try to play me--I got the research, the references, and a 20 minute powerpoint to bring it home!"

-"Two years here and not one person has even came close. How did you figure it out?"

-"You're impossibly fast and strong...your skin is pale white and ice cold.."

-"...."

-"Nah I'm just playing, you guys aren't exactly doing the best job at keeping it a secret, I mean I'm sure if anyone actually cared they would figure it out...you're not going to kill me, right?"

-Middle of nowhere + A Contemplative Edward = A terrified MC frantically trying to open the door

-Edward cracks a smile before telling me to relax and that he was taking me home (How does he know where I LIVE????)

-We're asking each other questions back a forth, getting to know each other

-He finds out my favorite color's green...I find out he can read minds but not mine, thankfully

-He finds out I love to read and I find out that the day we met he was fighting the urge to kill me because he thirsted for my blood...#bestfriendgoals

-He stops in front of my house but before letting out he leans over to take a deep ihale of my presence...like seriously I thought he was trying to suck my soul out with his nostrils

-The smell of your blood is so strong

-Realization hit me like a bag of bricks

-"OOOHH So that WASN'T racially motivated!"

-"What?"

-"What??"
