He sat up and whistled with appreciation. He turned and looked me in the eyes with his just-fucked hair and smiled a smile so sexy, it should be illegal. And then I saw them. Two, sharp, dagger-like teeth, with blood, my blood dripping from them.
I screamed a deafening scream and sat up. This was the third time this week that I'd had one of those dreams, and they keep getting worse. I glanced at my clock. 8:30.
Shit! I can not afford to be late on my first day at a new school!
I flew out of bed and tripped over.
Shit!
I stumbled towards my wardrobe and picked out a pair of jeans and a plain T. I was brushing my teeth as I was trying to tame my hair into something that looked more like my hair and less like the haystack it was now. I sprinted downstairs with my rucksack and swiped the note that was lying on the kitchen table before running out the door. I didn't have time for breakfast. I jumped into the car and slung my rucksack in the passenger sear as I put the key in the ignition and started the car.
As I was driving towards school, I stuffed the note in my pocket. I would have to read it later. I glanced at my watch. 8:50. OK, so I might just make it if I speed up just a little bit. I pressed my foot down and my truck creaked and rattled as it sped up.
I managed to arrive five minuets early. I sighed with relief as I slung my rucksack over my shoulder and walked over to the main school building.
Once I had my timetable I set about finding my first lesson. What was it again? I glance down. Oh, English, my favourite subject I thought happily. I glanced down again. T3? Jeez, how the hell am I supposed to find that? I moaned quietly and continued walking. I was interrupted from my reveries when a boy ran up to me.
"Swan, Isabella Swan, right? You're the new girl, right? Hi I'm Mike, school editor." He held his hand out to me and I hesitantly shook it. I was vaguely aware of a severe blush rising to my cheeks.Why? Why me?
"Bella, please." I smiled.
"Cool, Bella." He said, toying with the the word. He seemed awkward for a moment, but then continued his sentence.
"So, Bella, what's your first lesson?"
"Um...English?" I replied whilst looking down at my timetable. Why did I need to do that? I already knew what my first lesson was.
"It's in T3, do you know where that is?"
"Yeah! Do you want me to walk you there?" I thought quickly. I had no idea who he was, but I was in no place to be turning down such offers. And I really didn't know where my classroom was.
"Um...sure?" My blush was receding slightly, but was still there. Why am I blushing? I mean, he was cute, but I'm not attracted to him. I'm just blushing.
"So! Here we are! T3." He finally said after we finished walking. He had been rambling non stop about the school, the people and mostly, himself all the way here. I didn't really listen to any of it. I was too busy thinking about my disturbing dream that I had last night.
"Bella? Bella!" I snapped back into the real world to realise we had arrived. I flushed Scarlet.
"Yeah. Oh sorry, thanks, see you later...Mike is it?" I smiled weakly.
"Yeah, it's Mike. Sure, later. Oh, and are you OK Bella?" There was a trace of upset on his face, I wasn't sure why.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks again Mike." I smiled again, but it didn't reach my eyes.
"Cool, no problem. See you later Bella. Bye!" He smiled and walked off to his lesson.
"Bye Jake." I walked into my lesson and sat down and started to unpack my stuff.
"Jealous." I heard from my left hand side. I jumped and looked up at the girl next to me. She had medium length, light brown, wavy hair. She was pretty, she had pink cheeks and a friendly nature. After the initial shock, I warmed to her immediately.
"Um...Hi?" I smiled at her as I finished putting my stuff on my desk and looked at her.
"Sorry! Hi! My name's Jessica!"
"Bella"
"Wait, Bella as in Isabella, as in Isabella Swan? The new girl?"
"Um...Yeah?" She sat back in her seat momentarily then looked at me again.
"Wow, how did you manage to get him on your first day? I've been trying since grade 2. That is so unfair!" She slumped in her chair once more and scowled, but light-heartedly.
"I hardly got him, he just showed me to English..."
"Oh please, he was totally into you...unfortunately."
"Well I don't see why he'd go for me, you're much prettier than me..."
"Oh shut up!" She giggled childishly looking rather smug. "So, anyway..." She continued talking for the rest of the lesson, I couldn't get a word in edgeways.
I had almost all of my lessons with Jessica, and all too soon it was lunchtime. Jessica told me to sit with her and I saw no reason not to. As she sat down, she introduced me to the other people on the table, but I wasn't really listening. She then began to tell me all about where all the cliques sit. The lunch hall was completely jam-packed and all the tables were full, minus one, which was completely empty.
"What about that table?" I asked nodding in the direction of the empty table.
"Oh..." She grinned sheepishly and blushed. "That, that's the Cullen table..." She had turned to jelly in a matter of seconds.
"Who are the Cullens?" Confused as to what had turned her into such a liquified state.
"Oh, they're..." But I didn't hear any more, I just saw a group of two, no four pale-skinned people, walking towards the empty table, chatting animatedly. And then I saw a fith person just behind the others.
I gasped as all the blood left my face.
"...Oh, and that's Edward, isn't he...Bella? Bella? BELLA!" She was shouting but I couldn't hear her. I felt faint.
It was him.
