"Lanee!", Emmett called at me up the stairs, "You have to go or you'll be late for your last day of school!"

I groaned and threw my books in my bag in one motion. I rush down the stairs.

"I've told you not to call me Lanee! My name is Alana!", I snap at Emmett.

"Whatever, little sister!", he teases.

I raise my fist to punch him.

"Alana Rose Cullen!", our mother, Esme , calls appearing in the room, "Don't even think about it!"

I lower my fist, "Of course not, Esme."

She pats me on the back as I walk past, "Good girl!"

Emmett laughs, "Esme told you!"

"I heard that Emmett! Quit picking on your sister!", Esme calls.

I climbed into the driver's seat of my Altima. I check my reflection in my mirror. My long brown hair fell in perfect curls around my perfectly pale face. I'd been frozen at sixteen in 1935, same year as Emmett. My eyes were the same golden color as my siblings.

I pulled a thing of foundation out of my bag and dabbed it under my eye to try cover up the dark circles under them.

"You don't have to do that.", Jasper laughs from beside my door, "None of the rest of us go that far in our human charade!"

I threw the foundation back into my bag and laughed, "I'm nothing if not through. You riding with me or Edward?"

He looked around for Alice. I hated it when he did that. It always drew my attention back to the sickening love bond between them.

I must have been quite a matchmaker as a human, because in this life I could not only feel current relationship bonds but I could feel future ones.

Jasper and I watched as Alice got into the backseat of Edward's Volvo.

"I guess Edward.", Jasper laughed.

"Fine.", I say starting the engine.

"Alice wants you to come straight home after school today so she can pick out your outfit for the graduation party tomorrow.", Jasper says.

I groan, "She was serious about that!"

"She's very upset by not being able to see who's behind Seattle. I think it's best if we humor her with this. Besides, most of the attention will be on Bella."

I laugh. Edward's accident prone human girlfriend would love that. She hates parties or attention of any kind.

"Fine. I'll humor her!", I groan.

"Thank you!", Jasper smiles, sensing my distress. He grinned and walked over to join Alice in Edward's Volvo.

Jasper, Alice, Edward, and I were 'graduating' for probably the 100th time. This would be Bella's first and only. I pulled out of the garage before these strong ties of love could make me sick.

It's sucked that I'm the only one that didn't have a bond like that and I've had to spend the last 80ish years feeling all these bonds. I couldn't blame all these people. Everyone deserves happiness.

Too bad what I didn't know was when I find my bond, it would complicate my existence more than ever.
