To Cross the New Divide

So for the next couple of weeks I’ve been hanging out with Jessica and her friends. They are absolute sweethearts, especially Angela, she was so sweet. Erik, Mike, and Tyler, made my day whenever they did something stupid it always made me laugh. It took my mind off all of the other stuff. “Hey, So tell us what Atlanta is like,” Tyler asked.

“Uh, well Atlanta is really beautiful, the trees, it was perfect climate, except when it got past the normal, then It was hot.”

“Have boyfriend back in Atlanta?” Tyler asked putting an arm around my shoulders. I gripped his wrist and pushed his arm back him.

"Yeah," I said. It was somewhat the truth. He was a total sweetheart, but I found out he was in love with my best friend. So I broke up with him, and told him to chase down the real love of his life. I was happy they ended up together.

"Sophia Swan?” I turned and came face to face with a pretty woman with dark brown hair and matching eyes. “I’m Mrs. Setterian, Can I talk to you for a moment?”

“Uh sure,” I looked over to Angela. “Who’s she?”

“School Councilor.” She whispered just before I left. Oh dear lord tell me I was not in trouble…

She lead me to her office and told me to take a seat. She sat on the other side of her desk and typed on the computer before turning her attention to me.

"Miss Swan, I‘ve been in contact with your dean and she has told me that you are a senior in college, is this correct?” I nodded my head, but I was so confused.

"Mrs. Setterian, what is this regarding, am I in some sort of trouble?” She shook her head quickly.

"No sweetheart your not, but I just wanted to ask you a couple of questions.”

"Oh, okay, um, shoot I guess,” She took out a notepad and a pen before turning to me.

"Okay so you are indeed a student at Georgia State correct?” I nodded. “What are you grades in school?”

“Uh, college or High school?”

"Both,”

“Uh for High School I’m making straight A’s and for College, I’m balancing an A-B average,”

"How high of an average would you say?” I pursed my lips and sighed.

"About a middle to high level" I said, grinning like a lunatic. She smiled and nodded her head.

She asked me a couple of more questions before dismissing me. As I walked out I couldn’t help but feel a little confused. What information did she need and why?

I walked back to the cafeteria and began back to my pervious seat. I saw Eric, Angela, Jessica, Mike, and Tyler all waiting for me. "So, how much trouble did you get into?" Mike asked. I shook my head. “None, she just wanted to talk to me about my grades and College courses.”

“Your in college?” Erik asked. I nodded my head slowly.

“Yea, uh when I was younger, we’d always go to Italy during the summer and my family would, excluding my parents, forced me to study mostly all summer, so when I was a freshman in middle school we took this proficiency exam and I began taking college courses all through high school, and I skipped my junior year, so really I have a few more months left and then I go back to Georgia after I graduate from here, and then I’m out of College," I rambled.

"What's going on? I'm so lost," Mike said. I smiled, and leaned in close to him.

"I’m extremely smart, and I’m graduating College at the end of this year.” I said in a very slow voice.

He nodded, “I knew that,” I patted his cheek before standing up.

“I’ll see y’all later, I’m going to head to class.” They said there byes as I walked away once more. I walked around and stumbled as I hit someone or something. I put my arms out to steady myself and saw that it was Emmett Cullen.

"Sorry about that, you okay?” put my arms back to my sides and looked at him

"Yea, Thank you," I said. He nodded before a look of thoughtfulness crossed his face.

"Don‘t we have Chem. together?" He asked. I smiled and nodded as I began walking and he following on my side.

"Yea, that was were I was heading, before you so rudely bumped into me," He scoffed and smiled. His smile was very cute, it was like a Childs. He even had dimples.

“No you bumped into me,” He argued. I stepped in front of him as we reached the door of the classroom.

“Excuse me?” I asked in a slightly husky voice. Apparently according to my grandmother, I have a voice that could stop a war if I used it right.

“You ran into me,” He said with a small smile. I leaned away and smirked.

“Sophia Swan,” I said holding my hand out. He brought my and hand up to his lips before giving a swift kiss.

“Emmett Cullen,” I smiled and took my hand back before walking into class.

I ended up sitting next to Emmett because the two of us hit it off almost immediately. He was making me laugh so hard, I tears in my eyes. The walked in Jasper and Rosalie. Emmett had introduced me to them both. Jasper had shaken my hand while Rosalie had only glared at me before taken the seat in front of me.

I looked to Emmett and he told me not to worry about it. I leaned forward and took a glimpse of her shoes. “There Vince Camuto, I heard those were limited addition,” Rosalie turned around and raised an eyebrow. I raised an eyebrow back and crossed my arms over my chest. She smirked and we began talking about different designers before the teacher started class. I smirked as I heard Emmett say “Lord help us all,”

After school was finally, I gathered up all my books and began to walk to my locker. I grabbed some of my text books. I was about to walk away before a voice stopped me.

“Sophia!” I turned and found Alice almost skipping to me. She stopped about four feet in front of me.

“Can I help you Alice?” She held out her hand and In it was my sketch book. I gasped and took it from her.

“You left it in art this morning, so I wanted to give it back,” I wrapped my arms around her in a hug.

“Oh my god, thank you,” I said as I pulled away. “Literally, I would kill myself if I lost this,”

She laughed that laugh that always sounded like wind chimes. We both then began walking out to the parking lot. She stopped in front of the red BMW I was parked to.

Rosalie and Emmett walked over to me as I tossed my stuff in the back seats, but not before I grabbed my phone.

Rosalie jumped on top of the trunk of my bar and sat there as the Emmett stood at my side. Alice, Jasper, and Edward all came over after a few second. I saw Rosalie look at my car and smiled.

"Is this an Audi r8?" She asked, running her finger over the car lightly. I nodded.

"Uh huh, sort of congratulation present for doing well in school, that and for my sweet 16," I said, with a cocky smiled. Rosalie jumped down from my car and took a place by Emmett. We had started talking about something but I wasn’t really paying attention. I heard my phone beep and looked down at the message.

abbiamo bisogno di parlare presto, la mia fidanzata …

I gulped, and slipped my phone back in my pocket. "Everything okay, Sophia?" Alice asked. I plastered a fake smile on my face.

"Yeah, every thing's fine. My parents attorneys, trying to figure out what I want to do," I lied. It was kind of the truth. I looked at my phone again at the time.

"I got to go, guys. I'll see you tomorrow," I said, waved at them, and then climbed into my Audi. I backed out of my parking spot, and pulled out of the parking lot. I threw my phone in the seat next to me and sighed. Why did he have to text me now, I mean really, and I didn‘t even he could text, probably had someone do it for him. I then heard the song on the radio that was my dedicated song by my grandmother and my father. Loca by Shakira

Loca
Loca
Dance or die

She's playin' dumb all the time
Just to keep it fun
To get you on like (ahh!)

But you should see what she does with it
She keeps it down low (down low, down low)
I can never get enough (oh no, oh no)

She gives me the runaround,
But I stay chasin'
But I mean, yo, I'm in love
With a crazy girl
But it's all good
And it's fine by me
Just as long as I hear her say, "Ay, papi"

And I'm crazy, but you like it (loca, loca, loca)
You like that it ain't easy (loca, loca, loca)
I'm crazy but you like it
And I'm crazy but you like it (loca, loca, loca)

You're the one for me
And for her no more
Now you think she's got it all

I guess she doesn't know the things
That I do to please you

I sang along to the whole song, and then heard my phone ringing, I looked at the caller ID and sighed. This day couldn’t get any better. I was so lucky I had pulled into the house before I decided to answer this. I swear this man Is going to be the death of me one day. I know it, him and all of his weirdness.(Sophia/Mystery Person)

“Hello?”

“Ciao tesoro, come stai oggi?”

“I’m tired, cold, and a little annoyed, this better be important,”

“Volevo solo vedere come stavi, non hai chiamato in un po 'e ci siamo preoccupati,”

“I’m fine, I promise, I have to go okay? I love you, bye,”

I didn’t give him a chance to respond because I knew he would want something else. I loved the man dearly but, he is just a little kooky.

I walked up the stairs of the house and unlocked the door. After locking the door as I entered, I ran upstairs and dropped my bags off on my bed. I decided to take a quick shower before I started dinner. And let me tell you that the shower felt so good.

I walked out of the shower after I wrapped a towel around myself and turned off the water. I walked to my bedroom and changed into a pair of pajamas and tank top. I pulled a sweater over that and threw my wet hair into a bun. I took out my contacts and put my glasses. I grabbed my laptop and ran downstairs. I then began on dinner.

I put dinner in the oven and then ran to my laptop so I could finish some papers for my other school. I heard the front door open, and Charlie's booming voice call out, "Smells good, Sophia!" I smiled.

"It'll be done in about twenty minutes," I called back.

"Good, that gives me enough time to clean up!" He called back. I continued letting my finger glide across the keyboard as I continued to type my thesis. It took me to the middle of my sophomore of both high school and college to finally sort everything out. And with me skipping junior year of both, well it was all the more easier, but it got harder and some points, but I was graduating this year and I couldn’t be more happier. When I heard the beeper on the time, I set my laptop down and took dinner out of the over to let it cool. By that time Charlie came downstairs.

"How was work, Charlie?" I asked. He nodded and took some baked potatoes I made.

"It was work. How was school?" He asked. I smirked.

"It was school," I mocked playfully. After I was done eating I began cleaning the kitchen and sent Charlie upstairs for some sleep. I then walked back to the couch and finished my thesis which I was thankful for, it had been so difficult. I sent the paper to my teacher and shut down my laptop and walked upstairs .

I closed my bedroom door behind me, and fell on my bed, face first, falling asleep instantly.
