I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
~ Elwyn Brooks White
I awoke to a screeching alarm clock, damnit I'm going to be late. Jumping up I ran to the closet and threw on the first thing I grabbed, looks like jeans and a t-shirt again, Jacket cant forget that. Oh how I missed the warm, sunny days of Phoenix. I brushed my teeth in such a hurry I'm sure it wouldn't count. Grabbing my bag I made a bee line for the door. Bye dad I scram as I slammed the door behind me almost dropping my keys.
Ugh why does it always rain here! Ok Bella calm down, its just the first day of school and oh well if your late, its not worth getting in a accident over. My truck roared to life and I made my way to Forks High, the road seemed very familiar than last year. Its hard to believe how much my life changed when came to live with my dad. Parking in the first available spot, I began looking for a pony tail holder to tame the mess of hair I forgot to brush.
Breath Bella I kept repeating to myself as I made my way to homeroom, not to late the first bell just rang. I was glad Jacob (my boyfriend) saved me a seat near him, I swear he gets bigger every time I see him its bad enough he towers a foot over me already. Jeez Bella you think you would care about how you look. said Jacob sarcastically. I looked down at my outfit to see my moms old Van Halen t-shirt and a pair of worn jeans, totally fit for 90's grunge. Har har Jacob I said with a little wink. He smiled revealing this fun loving person, God that was the Jacob I missed, the one that I grew up with. Quiet down ms. Swan and mr. Black said Mrs. Harrison.
Jacob made the football team last year and letting it go to his head. Mr popular now and somehow in his mind I should be the girlie, cheerleader type, everything I wasn't. Thinking about it just made me wish he dump me and ask Jessica out, because that's who he wanted me be. Well technically he wanted Rosalie Hale, but he wasn't even good enough for her. She would put angels to shame, the most beautiful person in the world, well one of them her twin Jasper was second to her. I was surprised when she started dating Emmit Cullen, he was more like a big teddy bear than a God that would fit with that goddess.
Mrs. Harrison passed out our schedules impatiently, almost like she wanted this day to end faster than me. My schedule was alright other than PE (not good for clumsy me) right before lunch at least I got into Advanced Biology. Jacob leaned over peeking at my schedule and said at least we have PE together. Just great the world was dooming our relationship some more, we are growing apart and now we wont even have time to spend with each other. Not with his football schedule and my work schedule (part time but still clashes with his). I tapped Angela and asked about hers, at least I have all but Bio with her. She was jealous that I got into a senior class being a sophomore. I wish she would have kept the awwing to a whisper because just then everyone was giving me too much attention. I heard Jessica talking about how she wished she could have been in that class because of Jasper Hale. She always had googly eyes when she talked about him, to bad he was dating Alice Cullen. Alice reminded me of a pixie, with her short spiky hair and ballerina like clothes. She was a little weird at times but no one would dare to make fun of her out loud with Emmit as her older brother. The bell rang as Jacob was making fun of how bad I will be in P.E.. Oh how he knows just how to make me feel good about me. I smiled and made my way to English with Angela.
We got to English before the bell rang and took two seats in the back. Angela looked at me with questionable eyes asking me why I let him talk to me like that. nervously twiddling my fingers I just said because he is just like that in front of people knowing that was a lie and I think she did too (I was a bad lier) but she looked at me and said ok. I knew she would drop it after that. Lauren and Jessica walked in rambling on about how they had to get the perfect Homecoming dress even though it was 2 months away. Jessica was hoping Mike would ask her to the dance, though Lauren said I hope Jacob dumps Bella soon bc I didn't want to have to spend time pretending to be nice to her like Tyler told her. That bitch I mumbled hoping she heard me, I know she saw me when she walked in. If my eyes could kill it definitely would have made hers slow and painful. Bella, Angela whispered to get my attention, just let it go. OMG! Lauren said to Jessica I almost forgot we have a new student, a Junior. Dr and Mrs Cullen is fostering this totally gorgeous guy, I so would like to see him naked. Jessica was soaking up her gossip like a sponge. He seemed a little shy, reading Hemingway I just hope he isn't a freak like Bella, turning to give me a smug smile. I so want to kick her ass. He is too gorgeous. Jessica was hoping they had a class together to see this guy asking for all the dirt, but all Lauren knew his name Edward Mason. Saved by the bell or was it, fuck P.E..
Ok lunch is in 45 minutes I counted down the minutes as I dressed for PE. I can't believe coach is making us dress out and play volley ball, it's the first day for Pete's sake. I heard Jacob joking with his buddies when he screamed out "Bella try not to hurt anybody" laughing out loud with the others. How can so much change from last year. Remembering how much fun me and Jacob had together before football. Class passed surprisingly fast for everyone making sure I didn't get the ball. Afraid I would hit them, how they knew my clumsiness so well. Lunch Finally!
Jacob and I walked to lunch hand and hand, for a brief moment I remembered why I was still dating him. We got our food and made our way to the table with his friends. Why he had to ruin it by making a comment about how I will turn into a rabbit bc I don't eat meat. Jacob you know I'm a vegetarian, I said angrily! Damn you don't have to act like your so smart bc you got a senior class, hell you are the one that failed last year "ms. I'm supposed to be a junior" said Jacob defensively. Everybody bursted out laughing making me sink a little lower. You know what Jacob you can go to hell I'm done as I grabbed my plate and stormed out. I herd Angela call after me, I didn't stop until I made the girls room. I couldn't hold it in there, how can he be so mean to me. We grew up together and he was always a good friend to me. Angela told me I was too good for him and how they can be such jerks. I smiled at her letting my tear stained skin come into view, I wasn't said for breaking up with him but for losing the guy he used to be. I splashed cold water on my face trying to clean up before next hour. Thank god I was in a class full of people that didn't really know me.
Ok Bella Swan perk up, this was the class I could be totally me. No Jacob followers to pretend to feel sorry that we broke up. A smile came to my face as I walked in the class room. Mr. Banner was assigning everyone to seats which made it easier on me for not really knowing anybody. Third row Ms. Swan, you to Mr. Mason ordered Mr. Banner. Just great I thought so much for not being popular anymore I sit right next to the new kid. I didn't really look at him until he began to introduce himself "Hi my name is Edward its nice to meet you". Holy smokes Lauren was right he is gorgeous statuesque face with two dimples that highlighted his smile, emerald green eyes, and golden brown unkept hair. "Hi I'm Bella" I said nervously biting my lower lip. I must look like a idiot. Mr. Banner was going over the classroom rules and the only one I heard was your lab partner doesn't change no matter what. There is a god I thought. I stared at this guy the whole period I bet he thinks I'm a stalker weird chick. The bell rang and I was sad to have to leave this beautiful man. Shit I thought this was my class I had to figure me out, oh well I have the afternoon off.
The rest of the day flew by mainly because I kept day dreaming getting to know this new guy that was my lab partner. Three o'clock finally I was making my way to my rusty truck, home awaited and I couldn't wait to get to a place were I didn't have to be disturbed. Fuck Jacob was leaning against my truck, What do you want I barked at him. What has gotten into you, you are never mean to me, he made a sad puppy dog face and I almost forgave him. No Jacob don't you can't make me feel worthless and expect me to stay. I think we are to different people and should just be friendly with each other. Really do you even know who you are, he said loudly. This was your last chance don't come running back later because I wont take you back Bella. I could see the hurt in his eyes but I don't even want to see him again after how he made me feel. I watched him storm away and realized the whole school witnessed our fight. Just great I thought another thing to give me much unwanted attention. Just then I saw him with Alice and Jasper looking curiously, I bet he is asking about me and getting wrong information. I haven't been myself since Phoenix.
I'm new to this FF and writing my own stories. So bare with my grammer, I was told writting would improve that.
Please tell me what you think, I plan on adding Edwards POV and tell a little more about what happened in Phoenix in the next chapters.
