I've Changed

Chapter One: I've Changed

Ok, I know that I'm already working on a lot of other stories but I've had this idea in my head for a while and I wanted to get it out before I forgot. I'm going to put up two chapters and then I'll ask which set up you like better. So I hope you like this.

"I heard that we got a bunch of new kids today. Do you know anything about them?" my bother, Jason asked me as he and my friend, Megan, sat down at the lunch table.

"I know that they made Alec suddenly leave school this morning," I replied, taking a bite of my pizza.

"What do you mean they made him suddenly leave school this morning?" Megan asked, glancing at where the new kids were sitting.

I shrugged, "He caught one glance of them and said that he didn't feel good, and then he left."

"How do you know that is wasn't just a stomach bug?"

"Because of the look that he got when he first saw them. It was almost like he knew them form somewhere or something."

Megan and Jason shrugged and started eating their lunch. About fifteen minutes into lunch, Megan's brother, Caine, sat down with us. None of us asked him why he was late because we already had a good idea of why. Last week he had put Krazy Glue on all the keyboards in the library and the week before that he had pulled the fire alarm three times. Taking the last drink from my PowerAde, I stood up and walked to the trash to throw my garbage away. Looking at where the new kids were sitting, I saw that they hadn't taken a bite of their lunches this whole time and lunch was almost over.

Suddenly one of the boys looked at me and said something to the girl that was sitting across from him. The girl looked a little like a pixie. The girl said something back to him before waving at me. Waving back, I shudder and walked back to my table. When I sat down, Jason looked up at me and opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off whit a "don't ask" look. He shrugged and went back to eating his lunch. Sighing, I put my head in my hands. Only tow more hours left of school and then I would be out of here, then I would be able to go home and relax. The bell rang and I stood up, following the other students that were making their way down the hall to their third hours. Only Spanish II, chemistry, and a walk home left, I thought, and then this day will be over.

"Hola Skye," Señora Morgen greeted me as I walked into class.

"Hola Señora," I replied, heading over to my desk.

At my desk, I opened my backpack and took out both my Spanish book and my binder. There was a quick start on the board but I didn't get mine out right away. Sitting down, I closed my eyes and set my head down on my desk. Just when I thought I was going to fall asleep, someone tapped me on my shoulder. Looking up, I blinked at the bright lights.

"Are you okay, Skye?" Señora Morgen asked, looked concerned.

I nodded, "I'm fine. I just got a really bad headache all of a sudden."

"Do you want to call home?"

I shook my head, "No, I'll be fine."

"Are you sure?"

I nodded and she walked away. Putting my homework from the night before on my desk, I laid my head back down. Señora Morgan let me rest my head on the table during the whole hour. I could hear and feel people talking and moving around me but I didn't left my head. After awhile, I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder again. Lifting my head, I saw Señora Morgan standing there. "Class gets over in a few minutes, there isn't any homework tonight."

I nodded and sat up. My homework was gone from where I had set it down on the table and instead, there were a dew handouts and graded papers in its place. Putting my things in my backpack, I stood up right as the bell rang.

Even though my next class was right across the hall, I had to walk all the way back to my locker for my things because we weren't supposed to bring our backpacks to chemistry. Opening my locker, I switched out my backpack for my chemistry book and binder. Closing my locker, I started back down the hall towards class. Right as I was about to walk into the classroom, someone grabbed my arm. Turning around I saw that it was my brother.

"What do you want, Jason?"

"Are you okay?"

I nodded, "I just have a headache. Is that all you wanted to ask?"

"No, I wanted to tell you that one of the new kids has chemistry with you."

"Okay, now go before you're late to class."

Walking into the class, I sat down and waited for class to begin. A moment after the bell rang, the pixie like girl from lunch ran into class with a pink slip. She went over to Mrs. Wilson's desk and gave her the slip.

"Sorry I'm late; my schedule got changed again at the last minute."

Mrs. Wilson nodded, "That's okay, I understand. Why don't you introduce yourself and then have a seat in and open desk."

"Well, my name is Alice Cullen and my family and I just moved here from Juno, Alaska." (1)

Mrs. Wilson nodded and motioned for Alice to take a seat before she walked to the center of the front of the class, "Okay, today you will be taking notes and doing a lab on moles, not the animal. You lab will also involve a little bit of hopscotch, after you are done with the lab, you can pick up your homework that I am going to leave on my desk."

Almost everyone in the classed groaned, even though we usually finished our homework in class. Getting out our notes packet, we got started. The notes only took about fifteen minutes and we didn't really have much that we had had to write down, just a few problems that we needed to know for the lab that we were going to do. As we put our notes away, Mrs. Wilson picked up a stack of papers from the corner of her desk.

"For your lab today, you and your partner will be weighing a piece of chalk, going outside and drawing a nine squared hopscotch and then coming inside to weigh the piece of chalk again. Before you come back inside to weigh the chalk a second time you and your partner will both have to play the hopscotch once. When you are done weighing the chalk and writing down the measurements, you have to answer the questions at the bottom. When you're done, turn it in and pick up your homework. Any questions?"

"How do you draw a hopscotch?" one boy in the class asked? (2)

"Really Colton, you don't know how to draw a hopscotch?" a friend of his asked.

Colton shrugged, "I wasn't ever cool enough to play with the girls when I was younger."

Everyone laughed, not at him, but with him.

"Okay, for those of you that don't know how to draw hopscotch, this is what they look like," Mrs. Wilson said, drawing one on the board with a dry erase marker. "Now you can get started with your lab. You only have fifteen minutes, and it shouldn't even take that long."

I waited a moment while everyone got up to get their papers and their piece of chalk. After a moment, I got up and grabbed a paper for me and walked to the back of the class where the pieces of chalk where sitting on a lab table. Alec had been my lab partner since he had started, a few weeks late, but now that he was gone, I would probably be doing this lab by myself. Not that this would be that hard. Hopefully I get to do this by myself, I thought, I don't really feel like working in a group of three. The headache that I had had in third hour was still there but it wasn't as bad as it had been and I was grateful for that. Grabbing a white piece of chalk, I found a scale that wasn't being used by another group. Pressing the zero button, I waited a minute before putting the piece of chalk on it. The number of grams went up and then stopped.

"20 grams," I mumbled to myself as I wrote the number down on the paper.

Suddenly Mrs. Wilson and Alice where standing next to me. "Skye, I was wondering if it would be okay if Alice worked with you today since Alec isn't here."

I nodded, "That's okay with me."

Mrs. Wilson smiled, "Great, I guess I will leave you girls alone to get working on your lab.

She walked away and I looked over at Alice. "I already weighed the piece of chalk so now all we have to do is draw the hopscotch, play it once each and then weigh the piece of chalk again when we come inside."

Alice nodded, "Okay, can I draw the hopscotch when we get outside?"

"Knock yourself out." I replied, handing her the chalk.

I walked out of the room and down the hall towards the door that would take us outside by the bus loop. Alice followed me without another word. The hopscotch squares from second hour were still visible on the road. Some of them were so big that the only way you would have been able to play them was if you were a giant or something. Others were like the perfect size but with mismatched squares. Alice started drawing our hopscotch and I watched the other students, wishing that this hour would go by faster.

"I'm done."

I turned around and saw that Alice had drawn the hopscotch perfectly. It was just the right size and all the squares were perfect. It wasn't too big or too small. "Cool, I guess we each play it now."

Looking around on the ground, I found a rock and picked it up, "I can go first."

Lightly throwing the rock, I watched it roll and stop on the number four. Sighing, I hopped my way across, skipping the number four, and then turned around and did the same thing on the way back but with a stop to pick up the rock. Alice smiled as I handed her the rock. She lightly threw the rock like I had and it rolled and stopped on the number six. Alice hopped her way across the hopscotch and back and the only thing that I could think of was that she looked like a ballerina. I shook my head and sighed. No more sugar during school, I thought to myself, you're starting to go crazy. When Alice was done, she threw the rock into the grass that was behind me and we headed back towards class. We were the first group down so we had the room to ourselves when we got back. I went back to my desk and sat down, after a moment; I took out my phone and looked to see if I had any new messages. I did, and it was from Alex. Opening it, I read what it said:

Hey srry bout leaving. Do u want 2 hang out aftr skool?

I smiled and was about to reply when Alice spoke up from the lab table at the back, "It weighs 14 grams now."

"Right, thanks." I out my phone down and wrote down the number in the next space on the paper. After filling out the questions at the bottom, I handed the paper to Alice so that she could look at it. She thought one was wrong so we fixed it and then turned it in. Sitting back down at my desk, I took my phone back out so that I could reply to Alec.

Sure, that would b gr8. I'll bring u ur hw.
Wher do u want 2 meet?

"Who are you texting?"

I jumped and turned around. Alice was perched on the desk next to me. "Just a friend, he went home earlier because he wasn't feeling very well." I replied as I put my phone in my pocket.

"Is he just a friend or a boyfriend?"

"Just a friend."

Alice nodded and went back over to where she had been sitting at the beginning of class. I opened my book to the section that we were supposed to be reading and answering questions from, and waited for Alex's reply. I was about to get up and grab myself a piece of paper when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I took it out and read what Alec had sent.

I'll pic u up in front of the skool.
We can go 2 the trails n walk around
If u want.

I smiled and replied.

That would b great.
C u then.

I put my phone away just as Mrs. Wilson walked into the classroom. She glanced at us as she walked past but didn't say anything to us. Getting up, I walked up to the front of the class and grabbed a piece of lined paper. I started working on my homework so that I wouldn't have any to do tonight since it was Friday. Slowly, everyone else made their way back to class and started working on their homework too. Soon, the class was so quiet that the only sound you could hear was the sounds of pens and pencils writing on paper and the sound of pages being turned. Glancing at the clock, I saw that we still had half an hour till school got out. Sighing, I went back to my homework.

When I finished my homework, I glanced at the clock again and saw that we only had five minutes left. Smiling, I put my book and binder in my backpack. Standing up, I put on my backpack and walked over to Mrs. Wilson's desk. "Do you think that I could have Alec's homework? I'm going to be seeing him after school today."

Mrs. Wilson nodded, "Sure that would be great. You can let him copy your notes that we took down. He doesn't have to do the lab since he wasn't here." She took the papers from the absent folder and handed them to me.

"Thanks," I said, taking the papers. "Do you think that I would be able to go to Alec's other classes and get the work he missed from his teachers?"

"That's fine with me."

I smiled, "Thank you." I left the class and headed to Alec's classes to get all of the work that he missed.

The bell rang when I was getting Alec's work from his last teacher. I wasn't too worried about how long I was going to be stuck here since I was getting pick up by Alec. And I didn't have to go back to my locker either since I didn't have any homework that I needed. The teacher handed me Alec's work and I put in my backpack with the rest of Alec's work. Walking out of the class, I headed down the hall towards the front doors of the school. I was just about to go out the doors when I felt a hand on my arm. Turning around, I saw Megan standing there.

"Do you want to come over tonight? My mom said that it was okay if you and Jason came over."

"I was planning on hanging out with Alec tonight, sorry."

Megan frowned but nodded anyways, "That's okay, maybe we can hang out later this weekend."

I nodded, "Maybe."

Opening the door, I walked out and looked around for Alec's car. The sky was gray and cloudy and I hoped that it didn't start raining while Alec and I where walking around the trails. Spotting Alec leaning against his car, I walked over to him. He smiled and stood up when he saw me walking towards him.

"How was school today?" he asked, opening the car door for me.

I waited until he was in his seat to answer, "It was okay, I was partnered up with one of the new girls in Chemistry since you weren't there."

"Which new girl?"

"Her name was Alice Cullen. She's kinda short with short, spiky brown hair. She reminds me of what I think a pixie would look like."

Alec nodded as he out onto the road. "Can I tell you something about the new kids? Something that you have to believe, even if you don't want to?"

"Sure, what is it?" I asked, puzzled.

"You can't trust them. They'll try to turn you against me."

"What do you mean?"

"I've met them before. A few years ago at an old school that I went to. We weren't the best of friends back then; we weren't friends at all actually. Back then I was a trouble maker. They would probably think that you shouldn't hang out with me because of how they saw me act back then."

"Have you changed since then?"

"What do you mean?" now it was his turn to me puzzled.

"Have you changed between then and now?"

Alec was silent for a moment before looking at me and nodding, "Yeah, I've changed."

Okay, the next chapter is going to be in more than one person's P.O.V. I already have it written up in a notebook but I have to type it up on the computer now and I don't know how long that it going to take. I'm still working on my other stories, but I will try to get the next chapter up for this as soon as I can.
