Isabella Marie Swan ✴ "Stella" ([personal profile] self_composed) wrote2012-10-01 04:08 pm

some people are this impressive without magic, but how?

It has been six weeks since Bella sent out her applications and it is now the end of March. She has been on the soccer team since that time, winning the one game they've had against the team from the Quileute reservation, and has introduced Charlie to her flute (he's nonplussed but proud), and has been keeping straight A's in everything.

She has received four rejections (Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Princeton). The other schools are still quiet on the subject of applicant Bella Swan. Except Stanford.

Stanford thinks she is interesting, and would like to interview her in person, when would be convenient for her?

Hmm.

[Hey Alice. If anybody asks you, would you mind telling them you bought me a motorcycle?]

She can drive herself to the airport.

[Sure!] he says cheerfully. [What kind and when?]
edgeofyourseat: Dancing wildly, grinning. (⑹ ride it where I like)

[Fuck yes!]

He turns invisible and zooms up out of his lair.

"...I don't know who I want to fuck more, you or the bike," says a stunned and delighted Alice.
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, possibly fake, mildly creepy. (⑸ playful as a pussy cat)

"I promise not to fuck your bike," says Alice.

He does not promise not to go home later and think about fucking it. Mmmmmm.

(Promising something doesn't mean the same thing to him that it does to most people. The promise, by itself, is meaningless. What he's saying, the thought behind the words, is that he acknowledges she doesn't want him to do that and therefore predicts that he won't. He isn't paying much attention to this definition at the moment, but it's still there.)

"And I am glad that you are keeping it, because it's fucking awesome and so are you."

"...A motorbike this sexy that's also unstealable is gonna get noticed," Alice points out.
edgeofyourseat: Explaining or agreeing. (⑼ gotta be cool)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-10-01 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mm," says Alice. "Guess it's not that likely that somebody really determined is gonna try."
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, possibly fake, mildly creepy. (⑸ playful as a pussy cat)

"The only thing a car alarm ever does is annoy the fuck out of people," Alice asserts.

...Alice cracks up.

[I love you,] he says by brainphone, because he is laughing too hard to use out-loud words.
edgeofyourseat: Dancing wildly, grinning. (⑹ ride it where I like)

Alice gives the bike one last lingering look, and then follows her. That thing is gorgeous. And it suits her perfectly. He wishes he could actually get her a present that cool. But it's pretty much guaranteed that anything he might think to provide is inferior to what she could wish up for herself.
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-10-02 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Cool," he says, and starts inventing hilariously implausible lies to cover for this imaginary person, because that is what he would actually do in that case.
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, friendly. (⑵ extraordinarily nice)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-10-02 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Yup," says Alice.
edgeofyourseat: Hand to back of head, uncertain. (⑾ whatcha doin' tonight)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-10-02 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
"I so don't care," he says. "Oh, uh, people are really gonna think we're fucking if you show up to school on that thing. You cool with that?"
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-10-02 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay, cool."

A few things click in his head. Presents; beautiful things; designing for function and form.

"Hey, can I make you hot clothes?" he asks, already running through possibilities in his head. Dresses, various lengths; suits; assorted other items.
