Chapter 1; Can I take it back? Please
I do not own any of these people, Stephenie Meyer does.
When my gym teacher announced that we would be starting our unit on ball hockey, I immediately felt sick to my stomach. It might have been my imagination or because I all of a sudden felt queasy but it felt like everyone in the class turned to look at me, but it was most likely my imagination, why would everyone turn to look at the pale kid? And all at the same time, very unlikely.
"Mr Banner" I heard Jessica say "Do you think it's safe to have Bella play?"
Mr Banner looked from Jessica to me, the beautiful girl, to the half albino (I had the skin, just not the hair) "Jessica, it's only fair that every student gets a chance to play"
I saw Jessica roll her eyes than turn to whisper something in her friend's ear, at the same time; they both looked up at me and started giggling. Hum, wonder what they're talking about?
"You know what Mr Banner, I don't think I can play" I said,
'Please don't ask for an excuse,' I silently begged, 'I'm always telling him that I'm not feeling well, I don't think he would buy it again'
"And why is that Isabella?" he raised his eye brow, as if daring me to fake an illness
I felt my cheeks turn red, and found myself speechless, glancing around nervously, I found the perfect excuse, a bright pink piece of paper was taped to the gym wall,
"I'm trying out for the school play" Shit, I wish I could take those words back, me school play? What was I thinking?
"Well, I guess so"
I smiled nervously, what was I thinking, me on stage in front of everyone. I stood up, wobbly; I took baby steps to the door
"Oh, Bella" I turned around, Mike had stood up too "I'll try out as well"
I smiled weakly "Okay"
"I hope we get the leads together" Mike said, staring at me, making me feel very uncomfortable
"Ya that would be great"- not, I would never play a lead with you- you creep!
"Do you know what play were doing?"
"Nope, but we're about to find out" I replied, as I opened the door to the room, and saw what play it was. I felt a scream inch its way up my throat, I managed to force it down "It's a musical" I gasped, abruptly ball hockey seemed so much fun, but there was no stopping now, I took another step into the crowed room.
