[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

"Hey, Martin! Look over there!"

"where?"

"Just to the right of the school gate, that red SUV.—Oh! Damn it, it's gone!—Did you just see it?"

"See! That's a nice car! Don't know whose it belonged to.—Never seen it near the school before."

"I was at school the other day and saw Edmund, the first grader, come down from above.—you know, the black-haired mulatto. He was just adopted by Dr. Karen in town a few weeks ago, so it must be Karen Ren's car."

"That boy is lucky."

"Yeah, he's lucky... But that's not the point, Martin. — Come to think of it, the town's only a little big, and the bus to school every day?"

"You mean he's showing off?"

"if not?"

Wearing a hood, Edmund walked past two senior students with a gloomy expression, and the thermos in his hand almost had several finger-shaped dents.

The boy has only been concentrating on reviewing lately, and rarely pays attention to the people around him, so it wasn't until last night that Alexander ran over to borrow notes from him that he didn't know how much hatred he had drawn. —almost half the school now thinks he's showing off, while the other half thinks Carlisle Cullen is a doting, incompetent parent.

It turned out that Mrs. Gray's hesitant expression these days was because of this.

It seems that he made the right decision today when he chose to get off the car at the corner of the street and put on the hood and walk into the school.

With a sullen face, Edmond walked all the way through the corridor of the teaching building, preparing to go to Mr. Vitra's office to collect his final exam results.

While looking at his watch, the boy climbed up the wooden stairs. ——Emmett said that he would wait for him in front of the yogurt shop two streets away from the school for 15 minutes, and then the two of them would go home together, "not waiting after the expiration date."

His big vampire brother always liked to use the word "overdue" to urge him, so much so that now Edmund felt that he had developed immunity to this word. ——Think about it, if Emmett really left him here alone, Rosalie would definitely lose her temper.

The boy stood in front of the office at the corner on the third floor, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Edmund raised his hand and twisted the dark yellow handle.

"Good morning, Mr. Vitra. I'm Edmund Cullen, and I'm here to collect my results." The boy said to the gray-haired man very politely.

"Oh, Mr. Cullen. —Yes, good students always come earlier." Mr. Vitra took off his reading glasses and put them on the black desk, got up tremblingly and opened the filing cabinet. I took out the one that belonged to Edmund from a stack of leather bags inside, "Congratulations, you are second in grade."

"Second?" Edmund frowned. ——He originally thought that he should be the first.

"Oh, I think so. ——No.1 is Alexander Jones, just two points away from you." Mr. Vitra looked lovingly at the boy in front of him, "It's a bit regrettable, but I think No. 2 is also to be commended.—Well, now that it’s the holidays, relax.—Merry Christmas in advance, boy.”

"...Thank you, Monsieur Vitra. Merry Christmas to you in advance too."

Edmund left the office a little disappointed, and walked down the stairs slowly while checking the paper in his hand. ——Physics and biology all got full marks as he expected, but the chemistry test questions were a bit difficult, and he didn't even have time to check them, so they were lower than expected.His grades in geometry and algebra were mediocre, his grades in history increased by 10 points, his grades in German were about the same as usual, and his grades in English——

The boy stared at the black letter "A" (Note: Acceptable, pass.), wishing to pick it off with his hands immediately. ——Professor Kirk would never give him a grade above "E" (Note: Exceeds Expectations, good.), even if he thinks he answered really well.But this time... Where did he provoke that professor?Actually gave him an "A" directly?

Well, probably because he missed two eleven-inch papers during his recuperation...

Edmund carefully put the test paper and comments back into the leather bag, and was about to leave the teaching building to find Emmett. ——Anyway, this is already the result, there is no other solution other than accepting it, isn’t there?

"Stop, Pace."

Edmund knew who it was who called him, but he was too lazy to look back. ——Looking at the entire school, the only person who still insists on calling him "Pace" is Gail Algernon, who can't get used to him anyway.

"Hey, our Mr. Pace is good now, isn't he?" It seems that Gail did not give up the opportunity to make fun of Edmund because of Edmund's ignorance, but was inspired by it. ——The sturdy boy threw his schoolbag on his shoulders, ran down the stairs in three steps at a time, and rushed out from the right to block Edmund's way.

"Get out of the way, Algernon." The boy lowered his voice and said with some displeasure. ——He was not in a very good mood today, so Gail's move was like adding another layer of oil to his anger.

"I won't, what can you do to me?" Gail raised his double chin and said provocatively.

"you……"

"Come and beat me if you have the ability? Come on!"

Edmund gritted his teeth and stared at the person in front of him, those beautiful blue eyes almost burst into flames.

【Can't beat him!You must not beat him! —Think of Carlyle! 】

[What would he think if he received a call from Mrs. Gray and knew that I was fighting again? 】

The boy forced himself to imagine Carlisle frowning and saying "I'm disappointed in you" to him. —and that made him much calmer.

"It seems that you are very free today." Edmund said with clenched fists. "Better hurry up to Mr. Vitra and get your things than stand in my way here."

"I'm really busy recently. Anyway, my grades are just like that. I can guess it without taking it. ——Don't worry about me, Mr. Pace, I don't want to go to college in the future, because I will become a complete nerd." Gail gave a weird laugh, then jumped up and snatched the cowhide bag from the boy's hand, quickly pulled out the evaluation form inside and glanced at it, "Hey! Your English got an 'A'! —— What a rarity, Pace! I'm giving Professor Kirk a Christmas present for his contribution to your transcript!"

"Give it back to me," growled Edmund under his breath.

"Of course, I'll give it back to you.——As long as you can reach it." Gale raised the leather bag high, and at the same time he didn't forget to raise his eyebrows at the boy. "Come on! Jump and make sure you can reach it."

Edmund gritted his teeth loudly, looking like he might pounce on the boy at any moment and beat the boy hard.

"Don't tell me you've eaten too much lately and can't jump! - that'll make me laugh out loud!"

"...you asked for this!"

However, just a second before Edmund was about to pounce, the cowhide bag containing the score information was taken from Gail's hand.

The boy, who saw all this effortlessly because he was facing Gale, looked up at the handsome vampire standing on the stairs with pursed lips, somewhat surprised.
