Chapter one: Samwich for Two?
"Bella." a whisper. "C'mon sweetie it's time for your first day of school." My first day of kindergarten.
Mom. My eyes fluttered open and I blinked the sleepiness away. Monday already? I jumped from my warm bed and cold needles pricked all over me. Mom laughed as I tripped over what seems like thin air heading to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and tried to ignore my reflection in the mirror and failed. I looked myself over - All 3'6 of me- and sighed. My hair was in massive knots. I grabbed a hairbrush and went to the room where my waiting mother was. She set me on her lap and she took the brush and got most of the knots out.
"Mommy?" I asked. My voice was quiet and sleepy. "Yes my Bella?" She still combed through my hair.
"What if I dun make any friends. What if no one likes me.." I trailed off. Mom shifted my weight to her other leg and sighed. "You'll make friends. I promise. Now let's get you dressed. Daddy wants to say goodbye to you before you go." I nodded. Mommy was probably right. But what if she wasn't? Maybe breakfast will distract me. As if on cue my stomach growled fiercely. I giggled and ran down the stairs.
Daddy sat at the table with a newspaper. He was fully dressed, except his gun was not with him. Daddy was Chief Swan: Police Chief of Forks. I jumped up on his lap and smiled, a gap where my front tooth used to be. "Hey kiddo!" Daddy said setting the paper down. "Excited?" he asked. I nodded. "Mom told me your worried about making friends." Suddenly my face turned hot. "Things will be okay. I promise." He said and kissed my head. I exhaled dramatically and jumped from his lap.
I ate cereal and decided I should get dressed. I wore a white shirt with a picture of a cat. It said "Stop staring. I know I'm Purrrrrrrfect!" I laughing quietly at the joke and put it on along with a pair of jeans and a light brown sweatshirt. My new 'Hello Kitty' backpack lay undisturbed on the ground. I ran to it and picked it up.
"Bells, ready to go? I'll drop you off on my way to work" Daddy asked me. I sighed and nodded my head. He picked me up with little effort and flung me onto his shoulders. I smiled at my silly daddy. I waved goodbye to my house and got into daddy's police car. He always let me ride in the back, and I always played cops and robbers.
I breathed white, cold mist onto the window I was nearest to. I traced my fingers in it and signed my name. Bella swan. Mommy had taught me to sign my name a few weeks ago, knowing it would come in handy for school. Before I knew it Daddy's car stopped, waking me from a daydream I was having. He laughed at the expression on my face, and I began laughing just because he was. I got out of the car and shivered. Boy, was it cold today!
The sun shone through the clouds a little, barely hitting me, and I covered my eyes with the shadow of my right hand. I exhaled and a puff of white came out. I giggled. Daddy kissed me on the head and waved at me sheepishly at the street. Wasn't he even going to walk me to my classroom?
"Sorry Bells, Kinda late. Ask a teacher to take you to your classroom. Room 395 Mrs. Joowit. I love you. I promise pizza after school!" Ugh.
I walked alone
toward where all the kids where. I finally made it to the sidewalk
when I felt something hard against my left ankle. I fell over and
scraped my knee up. I tried to find the source of the thing that had
caused me to fall, and there was a boy about 3 feet taller then me!
Probably because I was on the ground.
"That wasn't nice at
all." I scowled. The boy giggled and smiled an ugly smile. "My
names James. What are you gon' do 'bout it Squirt. Gonna go tell your
MOMMY?" He said wiping a fake tear with his finger. I felt my
eyes get warm and I glared at him. My breathing came faster. I wanted
to make him sorry. This was a strange feeling. I don't know a lot
about emotions. Anger?
"Leave her alone!" said a quiet voice. I didn't know who the voice came from, but I was relieved to hear it. Thank Goodness. "Or else."
All the boy's laughed at the small but fierce voice. How could they laugh like that? "Make me." Said one of the boys.
Then I saw him. He was about 14 inches smaller then the bully and had bronze hair. He had a brown long sleeve shirt on and blue pants. I couldn't see his face, but I knew it was red by his voice. "Leave. Her. ALONE!" he yelled. Even his voice - small but loud - was heard on the other side of the playground. Everyone turned to face us and the bullies faces turned white.
"Okay, okay man. Sorry Jeez! Just messing with her." They said running off. I still lay on the ground when I noticed the smell. Salt and rust. Ugh! Blood. As if this day couldn't get any worse.
"Are you okay?" The boy asked kneeling down to me. His eye's were pretty. Emerald green.. "You hurt your knee. I'll take you to the nurse."
"Oure.." I meant to say sure or okay but was too busy trying not to vomit on the angel. "I'm um.." I lost my trace of thought as we entered the office. The lady at the front desk gasped and went to open the door to the nurses office. "Bella!" I thought finally. The boy laughed and my body shook. Maybe it was his body. Oh well..
"Hello Bella, Darling. Go lay down on the bed over there and I'll bring you an Ice Pack." I walked over - more like got carried over to - the bed and the crinkly paper made sounds from my weight. Soon the nurse came back with a baggie of ice. She looked me over again and put a band aid on my cut. She looked at the boy and raised an eyebrow. "Need something?"
"I'm supposed
to take Bella to her class when she leaves. Teacher said so." He
smiled a crooked smile and I laughed when he looked at me. "Okay."
Was all she said.
Finally the bell rang and I sighed and sat up.
My head felt a lot better. The nurse nodded her head toward the door
and went back to her work at the desk. Me and the boy left and I
sighed when I remembered I had no clue where my class was. I stopped
walking and he noticed. He turned around to me and gave me a funny
look. "You okay?"
I nodded and looked down at my feet. I didn't know whether to wave goodbye to look for my class, ask him if he knew where it was possibly, or run off crying to the bathroom. So instead I turned and started walking back to the office. He was soon in front of me his eyebrows facing down making a 'V' shape. I stopped and tried to read his face.
"Class is about to start. Aren't you going to class? You are okay aren't you? I'll take you back to the nurse if y-" I interrupted him. "No, I don't know where my class is. I have to ask the office... Sorry bye." I said trying to escape but he grabbed my arm and spun me around softly. "I can help. What class?" I smiled at him not meaning to and quickly blushed and shook my head.
"Um.. Mrs. Joowit. Room 395. I have no idea where it is or..." I stopped when I saw him smiling ear to ear. "That's my class too. Let's go." he said. I had never felt so much relief!
We got to the classroom and there were only a few desks open. I quickly headed to the one in the back. The table with nobody at it. I opened my backpack and started looking for a pencil and my notebook so I could doodle. Suddenly the table shifted. 'He' was there. I smiled. Me and him weren't...Friends... Where we? I quickly let go of that idea and thought of another. I still didn't know his name.
"What's your name.?" I asked without thinking. I blushed right away as his head popped up with interest.
"Edward. Edward Cullen." He smiled a crooked smile. Just then the teacher came by with a smile and touched me on the shoulder. It was unusually cold. I shrugged away from it and Edward laughed at me. She just went on smiling and touching other people's shoulders. Weird..
After about two more hours about rules and other stuff about school it was lunch time. The teacher dismissed us and everyone ran to the back tables where we would eat lunch everyday for about 9 months. I dragged my feet and sat at the very end. I was alone again and it was horrible. Where did Edward go..? I pulled my notepad from my jacked pocket and began doodling things like cats and dogs. One was a drawing of a boy with a crooked smile. I closed my eyes and smiled at my stick figure. Suddenly a shadow came over me and I whipped my head up in time to see Edward giggling behind me. I slammed my notepad shut and turned bright red.
"I'm back. Sorry. My sister Alice is in the other classroom and she forgot her lunch. I gave her mine.." He added looking at the brown bad sitting on the table in front of me then shifting his gaze back to me. "I'm not hungry though!" he said. Just then his stomach growled and he glared down at it. I smiled and reached for the bag. I sighed when I saw it's contents. Just an apple, a turkey sandwich, and a cup of pudding with a spoon. Edward never took his eye's off me, but I knew he was thinking about the contents of my bag.
"Want some?" I asked breaking the sandwich in half. Edward looked at it for thirty long seconds then shook his head. How silly. He was obviously hungry. "I can't eat it all by myself." I said smiling for his sake. He looked up from the sandwich then sat down next to me at the table. Edward nodded and I passed him the bigger half.
"Thanks."
"Mhm" I said chewing a piece of the sandwich. He took a small bite then smiled.
"Can I ask you something?" He asked me. What could he possibly want to know from me? I froze where I sat and my curiosity screamed at me.
"Yeah?"
"Well, um..." Edward was looking for words. "I wanted to know if you would like to... Uh. Be my... friend? Maybe sorta kinda.." He asked looking down at the table and never looking up.
The smile on my face this time wasn't fake. I wanted to throw myself at him. "Of course!"
We both smiled at each other and moved closer together. We chewed our sandwiches in unison.
My first friend.
