The alarm clock rang, but I couldn't move, the bed felt so warm and comfortable. I could hear the rain outside, which didn't happened very often in Phoenix, but when it did, it brought a really comfy morning feeling, and that only made me want to stay in bed.
It was another Monday of the month of March, I should be getting ready for school, but this just felt so good, that I allowed myself not to move for few more minutes.
I liked school, I like spending time with my friends, but what I liked most, was that in school I could almost be like any other teenager, almost. Because deep down I knew, I was not a normal teenager. How many seventeen year old girls have to worry about shopping for groceries, or make sure that the electricity bill has been paid?
How many seventeen year old girls, had to be the ones to drag their mother out of bed to get her to go to work on time? Not many!
When I was at school, I tried my best to pretend that I was just a teenager just like the rest, and there were moments I almost really felt like one.
After a few more minutes of laziness, I got up, went through my morning routine, shower, getting dressed and so on… and went to my mother's room to wake her up, I was surprise to see her bed empty. So I went downstairs and the smell of pancakes filled my nose.
When I got the kitchen my mother was wearing apron, and the counter was filled with dirty appliances. My mouth fell open and I almost fainted with shock.
"Good morning Bella, did you sleep well?" – I was still in shock and unable to answer.- "would you like some pancakes? I tried my best, but I don't know if their actually eatable."- I was still in shock. Believe me, I loved my mom, and almost expected anything from her, anything except been a normal mom. This was something new, I looked at my mom and she was smiling, oh, and I knew that smile well.
"So what's his name?"- I asked, as I took my seat.
"I don't know what you are talking about, Bella, can't a mom prepare breakfast for her daughter just because she loves her?" – Oh…this was worse than I thought, this was serious.
"Yes, a mom can do that, but when that mom is you, that is an entire different thing."
"Are you telling me, that I'm not a normal mom?"
"Yes!" – I said smiling-"And that's why I love you so much!"- Her face lighted up at the sound of my words and a big smile appeared on her lips.
"So what is his name?"- I asked again, while I taste the pancakes, which tasted weird, but I try my best to swallow, with a smile, because I wanted an answer for my question.
"Are they any good? I tried this knew recipe, and added some extra ingredients."
"Their fine and I'm waiting for an answer."- She looked me in the eyes and the big smile was back.
"Oh! Bella, you are not going to believe what happened" – Here we go… - " I met the cutest guy, he is a bit younger than me, but he doesn't seem to care about age. His name is Phill, and guess what? He is a baseball player. He just got hired for the local team, to which I don't even know the name, but that's not important. The important thing is that he asked me out, and we are having dinner tonight, is that wonderful?
Oh yeah! That's great. My mother in love, AGAIN? Shouldn't, I be the one who was supposed to fall in love? I was the teenager here! What king of a world was this, where my mom, dated more than I did. I guess if she was the "teenager" in love, someone had to play the adult, and that was me.
"So you will be ok, been alone tonight?"
"Sure! Don't I always?"- I try my best to hide the bit of envy I felt, how I wish I could fall in love that easily. The boys my age were so boring, they only thought about sports or sex, sports was a universe unknown to me and sex was a not present thing in my thoughts or maybe none of the guys I had dated arouse those kind of feelings in me, or maybe I was destined to become a lonely lady, maybe one of those weird cat ladies.
I looked at the clock and realize I was running a little late- "We need to go, or we will be late."
"Oh! I should just clean all this mess"- She said sheepishly.
"Don't worry; I'll do it, when I get home."
"Really? You are such a good daughter! I'll probably come home a little later than usually; I'll be going to the hair salon."
"Ok mom, don't forget to lock the door when you leave".
I walked to my truck, an old Chevy red dusty truck my dad had given me, it wasn't the dream car for a teenager in fact it was probably the oldest car in the parking lot, but it worked and it took me where I need to go, so that was fine with me.
When a got to school, I parked in my usual spot, and realize that I was later than I thought, there was no one in the parking lot, except for this speeding silver Volvo that went by me, just as I got to the back of my truck, and obviously there was a puddle of water, and obviously the Volvo's tires when trough it, and spread the water all over me. All over my favorite jeans, that were now, all stain with muddy water. I was furious! I did not know to whom that car belong to, but whoever it is, is going to be sorry…
I walked faster and looked around to see the car wrongly parked right in from of the main office building, I could hear the bell ring, but I was beyond furious, and I just had to inflict all of my anger into someone else.
I saw a tall, brown haired guy rushing from the building and going straight to the car, oh. I was so ready for this, and he was not going to get away with what he had done. I didn't care who he was, didn't even bother to look at his face, my anger was blinding me.
"Is this your car?" I asked with all the mighty of my anger, I swear if I could have any special super hero powers, I would be exploding that shine Volvo with lightning bolts from my eyes.
"Yes, can I help you?"- A sweet, calm voice answered. Oh, no! You are not sweeting your way out of this.
"Did you just see what you did to me? Look at me, look at my jeans? Don't you know you can speed in a parking lot! Don't you know people might be walking by, and end up like this!
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…this is my first day and I was running late…
"Do you think I care? I am running late, and you don't see me driving around like a lunatic, like I own the place." – Was he smiling? He was smiling! I couldn't believe it!
"Do you think this is funny? Look at what you've done!"- the bell rang again making me realize how late I was, I had to run to class, before it was too late. "This isn't over, you hear me!" – I said as I turned around and started running towards the main building, but because I was so blind with fury, I tripped on the step and almost fell down. In my back I heard a chuckle, before I could turn around; he was gone in his shine Volvo. The school was not that big, I would soon see him again, and he would regret the decision to come to this school.
I walked into the classroom as quietly as I could, but Mr. Verner had already started and gave me a "Glad you could joins us Ms. Swan" look, as I took my seat next to Jacob.
Jacob was my best friend, we had been friends since kindergarten, we were inseparable most of time, except when Jacob was in love witch happened a lot lately. What was with boys and teenage hormones?
"What happened to you?"- He said with a smirk.
"Some jerk racing to the parking lot. Can you believe it?"
"Which jerk? The school is full of them."
"This one is new"- It occurred me, that I was so blind with rage, that I didn't remember what he looked like, I only had a vaguely idea of what he was wearing.
"Ms. Swan would you and Mr. Black have something to share, with the rest of us?"
We both said no, and smile at each other. I tried my best to pay attention to what was going on in class, but this was starting has a weird day, I mean waking up to mother who's in love, come to school and be showered with mood by a jerk. I stared to pray for the day to end fast.
When class was over a gather my stuff and followed Jacob outside, the hall as usually was filled with students, talking about their weekend experiences, the hottest guy, the hottest girl. You know teenager talk.
"Have you heard the news?" – Jessica said as she almost trough me to the floor with her excitement. Jessica was one of Jacob's ex-girlfriends; they dated for a while and thought they were better of as friends, so she eventually became my friend as well. She was very popular because she was one of the first girls on school to get boobs, and she was very proud of them, and known to show them off a little too much.
"What news?"
"You know Mrs. Johnson our English teacher has been sick, right? So she asked for an early retirement, and guess what?"- She said; making one of those girly screams. So our English teacher was retiring, what was so great about that?
"What's so great about that?"
"Oh! Bella! The new teacher, that's what so great, he is smoking hot! He is like the cutest guy I have ever seen, I mean; he looks like one of those magazine models."
"And what is so great about that"- Jacob said, obviously a hot new male teacher, was not a good topic of conversation for a guy. Ignoring him Jessica continued…
"I wonder how old he is, because he looks so young and gorgeous, wait until you see him, Bella, can't wait for our class? This is going to be so great!"
The bell rang, and I was saved from Jessica's delusional dreams about the new teacher. What difference did it make, how old he was. He was a teacher!
The rest of my classes went by really fast, and lunch time was finally here, throughout the morning the new teacher was the topic of every conversation. With all the talk about him, I was starting to become curious about him.
I had scan the hallways looking for the guy I had seen in the morning, he was still going to hear some…but I never saw him again.
I got my lunch and went to our usual table, our little group always set in the same table since the beginning of the school year. Sitting around the table were my best friends ever. Jacob and Mike represented the jocks, because they were both in the football team. Eric and Ben kind of represented the nerd team, because they both were into the chess club and comic book club and that kind of thing.
Angela (also Ben's girlfriend) and I who were in the school paper, and Jessica (also Mike's girlfriend) who was the popular type, these were my closest friends, and every day we shared our experiences, our difficulties and our lunches.
"So, Bella are you ready to meet the new teacher? I hear he is really hot."- Angela said – "Do you think he is going to take over the schools paper, like Mrs. J. did?"
"I don't know, maybe…"
"Oh…my…God…"- Jessica said pronouncing word by word, and looking at the door, I looked around the cafeteria and all the girls eyes were in the same direction, I followed their eyes to see the school Principal next to a tall, brown haired guy, the guy from this morning! Since when does the Principal give tours of the school to new students, and then it hit me. It hit me like a thunder hits a tree right in the middle of the trunk, ripping it apart and leaving it broken and burning.
There was no new student, only a new teacher, my English teacher, a teacher I had called lunatic hours early… I felt my life leaving my body… "Bella are you ok? I know he is hot, but…"
"Th..th..that's the new teacher?" I asked trying to come back to life.
"Yes, Mr. Cullen, Edward is he's first name I think" – Oh, no, no, no, no, no. this could not be happening, this must be a nightmare, I must still be in bed.
"Oh…my…God, is he looking this way?" – Jessica asked and ended my illusion. I looked at the door and yes he was looking our way, he was looking at me, and he was smiling, and now the Principal was looking at me too. I felt my cheeks burned as I died of embarrassment. He was probably telling the Principal about the way I welcomed him this morning. This is by far the worst day of my life.
Hope you liked it, and if you did review and let me know!
