That Year
Stupid school. Stupid Jessica who goes to my school. I hated her. With a burning passion. I had been friends with Jessica when I first arrived at Forks High School. Yeah she seemed nice.
Right. Like something could go good for me for once.
Charlie came into the room and stared at me for a second. "Bells. . . You need to get up. You know you have to go to school." I kept my head burred in my pillow. "Yah sure. OK." I got out
of bed when Charlie wouldn't leave my room and ate without eat eating breakfast. I looked like a mess. I didn't even stop to brush my hair on my way out. "Bye." I called sullenly to my
dad. I didn't wait for him to answer.
I jumped in my car and was prepareing myself for a horrible day. When I got to school, I realized how early I was. There was no one here except…. Jessica and Mike. I felt like puking. I
hated them. I still remember when it happened. *FlashBack* I got to Mike's classroom and waited for him like I always did after school. His teacher, Mrs. Zorman, let the the students out 10
minutes later than she always should. When the person I had loved since I first started at Forks High School came out of the room, my heart fluttered, but I suddenly became nervouse. He was
looking at me in a weird way. It was his –don't want to deal with this right now- look. "Hey Isabella." He said without enthusiasm. Isabella? Isabella. . .? Since when did my boyfriend call me
'Isabella'? "Yes Mike?" I said nervously. "Listen. . . . we need to talk. . . in private." He went on to say. "OK?" I said slowly. He put his hand on my back and guided me to the empty gym. "You see,
Bella. I liked you when you came here because, well I liked to chase girls. . . But you see, I am no longer like that." He said looking into my eyes uncomfortably. "What?" I whispered. "Yah." He said
looking down. He ammediately purked up to say, "But the plus side to this is that I am now going out with Jessica, who I have like since first grade." He said as if that would cheer me up. I ran out
of the gym, tears steadily rolling down my cheeks. I ran into Jessica. "Woah, Bella. Going somewhere?" I glared at her. I grabbed her arm and dragged hear into the empty music room next to her locker. She giggled as if we going to a rollercoaster. "What. . . Why?" I said, tears streaming down my face to Jessica. She laughed and took her hand and flipped her bangs out of her face. "Well you see, Bella." She started. People have been telling me I need to see for a long time and it was starting to annoy me. "I was fine when you first started going out with Tyler, because I was going out with Jacob. But you know me. I can't stay with a guy that long. . ." She said as if this were obvious. "So. . . I dumped him. And when I saw you and Mike, well, everyone thought you guys were the cutest couple, so. . . Well you know. I wanted him. Don't be upset Bella. I will still be friends with you." She smiled as if she were being very generous. I glared at her for a few seconds, but when that didn't damper her mood, I slapped her across the face and then ran out of the room. *End of FlashBack* So you can see why I'd be a little mad at them right now.
