Their Firecracker Of A Queen {3}

Chapter Eight

Graduation day, I've been waiting for this day for the whole year and now it's finally come. I was currently in the school hall with all the other students, wrapped in yellow robes as tradition for graduation. I sat between Rose and Bella, Rose's hand entwined with mine as we watched Jessica say her speech in front of the large crowd.

Bella bounced her leg out of nervousness, she never did like being the center of attention. I gave her a smile when she caught my eye and she returned it slightly.

I didn't care to listen to Jess's speech but I clapped at the end out of respect, wasn't much before I distracted myself with looking at something else and miss the entire speech.

As all the graduating students walked on stage I prayed this would be the last time I would have to be stuck at a school like this, even if I did find my mate's here. Maybe I could do some travelling soon, see the world for once, maybe go and see my family in Volterra.

I grinned as I walked off stage and into the waiting arms of my dad, "I'm so proud of you, of you both." He told us as Bella walked over to us. I grinned and spun around happily, I guess Alice is rubbing off on me with her constant happy behaviour.

"Someones happy." I heard, I turned on my heel and saw Emmett standing there with a cheeky smile. I giggled and jumped into his arms, he spun me around with a chuckle. I was so happy to just be out of this place, so I could spend more time with my mate's until they had to go back to school.

"I am." I squealed, "this is my first time finishing school." I whispered to him, he raised an eyebrow making me smirk.

"Come on you two, we've go a party to attend." Alice said as she joined us with a grin of her own. I nodded and said bye to dad before following my mate's out the door and into their car.

As night fell, people started to show up for the party at the Cullen house. I stood in the corner of the room not really wanting to be here, my arms crossed showing I didn't want to talk as I watched everyone else have fun.

Hess and Ange waved in my direction and I waved back, they went back to dancing in the middle of the room making me smile.

"Are you not having fun?" I looked up and saw Jasper standing next to me with the same pained look.

"Not really. Parties aren't really my thing." I told him with a sigh, "what about you? You seem more pained than usual. You'd think everyone's happy mood would make you feel better." I glanced at him, watching as he smirked at my remark.

"Yes well, their not all happy. And some emotions are making me quite uncomfortable." He explained, I laughed knowing what he meant.

"I know, I feel them too." I nodded in agreement. "I'll see ya in a bit. Looks like Alice wants you." I told him, pointing over to our mate who was looking at Jasper expectantly. He nodded and left while went in the opposite direction.

I watched as teenagers danced around the room, enjoying their adolescence while they still can. I admired their carefree spirit, they knew nothing the world and how it really was.

As I walked I accidently collided with a figure almost making them fall to the ground. I quickly caught there arm and balanced them. And, of course, it was Bella.

"What a surprise it is that I run into you, little sister." I chuckled looking over her awkward stance.

She rolled her eyes playfully, cheeks flushed from embarrassment, "yeah, yeah. Make fun of the clumsy one." She said with a small smile. Bella turned her head, something catching her attention. I looked over and saw Jake with Embry and Quill.

"What are you doing here?" Bella asked as she walked over to them, I followed close behind wanting to know what this was about.

"You invited me, remember?" Jake gave a lopsided smile but I'm guessing Bella didn't want to hear it.

"Was my right hook to subtle for you? That was me uninviting you." Bella told him making me frown I confusion.

"Wait, what?" I cut in but was ignored as they kept their gaze.

"Look, Bella. I'm sorry. About, you know, the kiss." I looked at Jake shocked then soon turned into a glare, "and your hand. I'd blame it on the whole inner animal thing, but it was really just me being an ass. I'm really sorry." Jake finished his speech.

I stepped in front of Bella to finally get his attention. I glared at the boy, arms crossed as if I just found out my child did something horrible, "You did what, Jake?" I raised my eyebrow.

He gulped visibly as he looked at me, Embry and Quill seemed to back off, slowly making their way over to the other side of the room. "I, uh, may have... kissed your sister." He scratched the back of his neck.

"What the hell were you thinking, boy?" I sighed and backed down knowing it wouldn't help to yell at him when he didn't really do anything wrong, he liked Bella but she didn't like him back. It hurts.

"I bought you two something. Graduation presents. I made them myself." He then pulled out two bracelets from his pockets, they gleaned in the party lights. He handed me one and I smiled at it.

"I can't believe you made this." I clasped the bracelet around my wrist, another piece of jewelry to add to my collection.

"Wow. You made this? It's really pretty. Thanks." Bella told him meekly looking down at her new gift. This was so thoughtful, I finally had something to represent the pack and I loved it.

I was cut off from my thoughts when I felt Bella grab my arm and drag me with her. I frowned and saw that we were walking towards Alice who was staring blankly into space, I'm so glad that doesn't happen to me.

"Alice, what did you see?"
