[Twilight] Vampire's Royal Engagement

Bernice spent 3 seconds thinking about where she should flee: to go back to church, or to rush to her car?It seems that the former option is more attractive.Although God failed to protect her completely today, maybe this time it will succeed?

But the boy's words successfully made him stay in place: "Are you still alive?"

"Of course I'm alive." Bernice was already out of anger, since last night's dance, everything began to go out of order.No matter how hard she tried, these nasty weird things still happened to her.

After Bernice yelled at the strange boy, she began to regret what if he would bite her in anger (Bernes swears, she has no idea where her weird idea came from).

"Okay." The man nodded, and quickly disappeared from the night, as if he had never been there.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Bernice hugged her puppy Nubby and sat from late night until dawn, and then from dawn until the sun rose. She didn't know if she had fallen asleep until the phone rang again.

"Bernice, I called you 20 times—" Janet on the other end of the phone almost jumped up in a hurry: "You must at least let us know that you are still alive." Bernice touched There were at least 30 missed calls on her mobile phone. Bernice didn't bother to look at it and threw the phone on the sofa.

"I'm alive, Janet." Bernice didn't know why she had to repeat this stupid sentence: "I'm alive and well."

"——how did you disappear on Friday night? Everyone suddenly couldn't find the protagonist of the party...Charlotte had to sing for you, you know you promised everyone to show off."

"I'm sorry, Janet," Bernice said feebly, "I just don't feel well all of a sudden."

"Oh!" Janet exclaimed dramatically, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine, Janet." Bernice knew she didn't even believe the words: "How is Joey?" Thinking of Joey's bleeding fingers, Bernice suddenly felt hungry, and she remembered that she seemed It has been a long time since I ate.

"There's nothing wrong with Joey—he just can't find his partner, can you imagine, Bernice?" Janet became furious again: "He's dancing with that stupid woman, Dorothy— —”

"Well, Janet, he can dance with whoever he wants, that's his freedom." Bernice felt very tired: "I want to rest."

"Are you sure you don't need me to visit you?" Janet asked.

"No, thanks." Bernice put down the receiver.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Bernice felt the need to get herself something to eat before she really starved herself to death, and in the kitchen she found a can of potato chips, half a packet of coffee, unopened oatmeal, and an onion. Can't figure out where this onion came from, she is not the kind of girl who cooks for herself, and finally she decides to drink a cup of cereal.

"Wow——" Nubby, who was just born, couldn't even cry, but this didn't stop him from protesting to Bernice.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Nubby." Bernice clutched her forehead guiltily. She forgot that Nubby hadn't eaten all day. She really wasn't a competent host.

Bernice rummaged through all the cupboards and refrigerators, and had to admit that the dog food she bought for Nubby was gone. She glanced at the closed door and felt that she didn't have the courage to go out at all, so she had to put a bowl of cereal Put it in the microwave, hope that will make it a little bit rotten.

"I'm so sorry, Nuby." Bernice scratched his ear. "This is all you can eat." Nuby licked the cereal in the bowl, looking reluctant, but hunger made him give in up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hello." Bernice found that her phone usage has continued to increase recently, and people usually only call her mobile phone.

"Bernice, honey, don't hang up on me please?" It was Lairo, Bernice's mother.

"I wasn't going to do that." Bernice's mood dropped another octave.

"Honey, you must listen to me." Lai Ruo emphasized: "Your father really wants to see you, let us hold your 18th birthday party for you, he even bought your favorite blue rose ..."

"I'll celebrate with my friends, Mom." Bernice was unmoved: "Don't worry about me anymore."

"Bernice, please—"

"You can come to my birthday party, I mean, if you want to come." Bernice felt a little guilty to Lai Ruo: "I will send you the invitation."

"Goodbye, Mom."

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Bernice went back to the kitchen. The oatmeal was cold, but she didn't bother to do it anymore. She picked the green one from her seven-colored spoon and tried to drink it.

"Ugh—" Bernice spat out the oatmeal in her mouth.Why, she left it for such a short while, and the oatmeal went bad. How could it have such a disgusting taste.Bernice emptied the contents of the glass down the drain, and the rushing water washed them all away.

Maybe I'm really starving, Bernice thought.

But she has to go to school tomorrow, she can't really never go out for the rest of her life.She thought of the days when her father sent her to school. Martin was so handsome and promising, always wearing a neat suit and tie, attracting the attention of every little girl.She began to be bathed in the envious eyes of her classmates when she was not yet developed and her appearance was not amazing.At that time, she was so happy, everything was so simple, nothing could shake her happiness, but unfortunately, everything passed.

She knew she would never forgive Martin.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

Bernice jumped on the couch, put the pillow in her lap, and started calling Joey, but he didn't answer.Bernice had to leave him a message: "Joy, I don't know where you are going. Can you call me? I wonder if you can pick me up tomorrow morning? I really need you." Bernice hesitated It took a long time to add the last sentence.She and Joey had known each other for 10 years, and she had never spoken to him so frankly.

Bernice started calling Charlotte again, and since she had nothing else to do, she would like to thank Charlotte for everything she did on Friday night.And, thankfully, Charlotte is just as talkative as Janet, and more gossipy than Janet, so she won't be bored.

"I know what that bitch Jill did to you." Charlotte even chatted with her about the transfer student with great interest. If she didn't know Charlotte well enough, she would think that Charlotte was gloating What: "That's rude. Her daddy's a nigger." As if that said it all.

"Charlotte," Bernice had to interrupt, "that's not a good thing to say about black people."

"I know." Charlotte didn't take her words to heart at all: "They are really dark, aren't they?" Bernice could only smile wryly.

"Anyway," Charlotte's tone meant "stop interrupting me," Bernice had to listen to her: "That bitch's dad is black, but she's nothing like her dad, I doubt Did her mother have an affair with another man?"

"Really?" Bernice agreed.

"Her mom doesn't live with her dad anymore anyway," Charlotte said. "She's probably had three step-dads, all white, and you'd think each of them looked more like hers than that nigger. The biological father. It is said that her current stepfather is as fat as a black bear, he must have a face full of fat..." Charlotte couldn't help but began to use her imagination.

"You know the details." Bernice was skeptical of her words.But Charlotte took it as a compliment, and it made her even more cheerful.

"Why did she change schools?"

"I don't know," Charlotte was very dissatisfied with this: "I mean, neither of her parents moved here, so I don't understand why she went to school here alone..."

"Well, what else do you know?" Bernice was very dissatisfied with today's "big gossip" Charlotte.

"Well, well," cried Charlotte, "I'll find out her little secret, just wait."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bernice and Charlotte talked for more than 2 hours, but Joey still didn't respond. He had never done this before.It seemed that Joy was always there for Bernice whenever she needed it, no matter what time of day it was.

Bernice began to worry about whether Joey had already encountered misfortune. After all, she had encountered some bad things recently, and Joey would not be the protagonist of one of them, right?
