Bella's Notebook

This was just a random idea I had, and I figured that I may as well write a story out of it. The first part of her Notebook entries will be her school assignments and the second part is her daily journal entry. I'll probably do one entry in the journal for every week unless I get an extremely fantastic response. Bella's a little OOC in this story. She's kinda more depressed at first because she's just left her mom and the city she loved. You'll see her character develop and the writing develop as the story continues on. Pretty please review, I thrive off of them.

Oh, yeah. I don't own anything. Duh. If I did, then I wouldn't be writing online, I'd be out making millions.

In gym today, I managed to make a complete fool of myself, hurt my partner, and ruin the name of tennis all in ten minutes! Thank goodness my partner…Mike, I think it was, had a good sense of humor and just laughed it off. Unfortunately, the day started out even worse. After I got my schedule I went back to my truck (a lovely gift from Charlie) and studied the path for my classes. I kept my head down the whole time because I could feel everyone just staring at me. It was horrible.

Then, when I got to my homeroom class Mr. Mason, my teacher, gawked at me and I blushed like a complete idiot because there was nothing else to do. It seemed like Charlie must have told the whole town that I was coming. After homeroom I had Government, Trigonometry, and Spanish: in none of which anything spectacular happened.

Then came lunch. Lunch was…interesting, to say the least. I sat with some of the kids that I'd met in my classes. Don't get me wrong, they were all nice, and that wasn't the problem. The interesting part of lunch came when I noticed the Cullen's (a family of beautiful people, adopted by the Doctor at the local hospital). A girl sitting next to me (Jessica, if my memory serves me correctly) noticed me outright staring and giggled. Those are the Cullen's, she told me, they always sit there alone. No one has ever dared to go over there.

Then she pointed out each of the beautiful people individually and gave me the basic information and history of each. All of them were amazingly gorgeous of course, but the person who really caught my eye was the youngest boy, Edward. He has the palest skin (even paler than mine if you can imagine that), striking copper hair, dazzling topaz eyes, and a lean-but-muscular-at-the-same-time physique. He was so stunning and elegant that I think I almost started drooling right then and there. Finally I snapped back into focus when he turned and caught my eye. I quickly looked away of course and Jessica sniggered at me. She told me not to get my hopes up because Edward Cullen didn't date.

The rest of lunch went like anyone would expect. I was stared at, people called me Isabella (I corrected them), and everyone offered to show me around. Finally the bell rang and I was free of the ogling and into my next classroom. I had Biology next with Mr. Barner and had planned to get there early, but unfortunately, I got lost for a few minutes and slipped in just as the bell rang. Mr. Barner didn't look pleased with my late arrival and handed me a book, pointing to the only seat available: the seat immediately next to Edward Cullen.

I ambled down the aisle to my seat and slumped into the chair. Edward Cullen's knuckles turned incredibly white and his face was pained. I looked at him to say hello and see if he was ok, but he stared straight ahead, not even blinking. His teeth were showing and I felt like I should have been scared, but I wasn't. I bent my head down, blocking my face with my hair, but he only tightened his solid grip on the table. Moving my head to the side, I quickly smelled my hair. Nothing out of the ordinary there, it was just my normal strawberry shampoo fragrance. Did I really look that horrible? I must have because he obviously didn't like the way I looked, and with how perfect he looked, anyone would look horrible in comparison. I slithered lower into my seat and just looked straight forward, taking notes.

After class Mike, my gym partner, came over to me and offered to walk me to gym as that was my next and last class of the day. I agreed, happily, wanting an excuse to talk about something besides Edward Cullen and figuring he'd probably ask me all about my interests. Boy, was I wrong. He wanted to know if I'd stabbed Edward Cullen because he'd never seen him that upset before. I told him no. I didn't even talk to him. He shrugged that off after a few minutes of talking about the Cullen's and we arrived at the gym. I left to the girl's locker room and he went to the boy's.

When we made it out, it went pretty terribly as I said before. My poor gym class never saw it coming. I looked over my syllabuses for each class on the way out to my truck and figured each would be pretty easy. There were no advanced classes here and I'd been in all advanced classes at my school in Phoenix. Anyways, now I've got some homework to do and then I'm going to make dinner for Charlie. I've decided to place myself in charge of all cooking duties as the only food that Charlie is capable of making is fried eggs, bacon, and toast.

So, what did you think? I was thinking of just going through Twilight until right after the meadow scene and then be done with this story. Do you think I should do that or should I finish Twilight all the way? Should I even go through New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn as well? Anyways, please review and tell me what you think. I probably will update by September 2nd at the latest, but I'm generally very busy and will only normally be able to update once a week, especially with school starting up again now

And one last thing, if you've read my other Twilight story, No Way Jose, please go and vote on my profile whether or not I should continue it. I've kinda lost my energy on that one, but if someone was encouraging me…who knows…?
