Chapter 1: Edward Cullen go away!
Her hair was always in place and glossy. Her face was blemish free and makeup perfect. Everyone that went to Forks High loved Bella. The guys wanted to date her and the girls wanted to be like her.
School was getting ready to start. People were getting to their seats. I took my usual seat in the back. When I looked at the seat to my right it was empty. Looks like Alice is going to sleep in. I took out my cell and started dialing the number to my best friend, Alice. When someone called my name I settled for just texting her instead. Where are you?! I pushed the buttons furiously and sent.
"Bella, I need help with my trig homework. Can you come here for a moment?" Jessica Stanley asked me. Jessica was a nice girl, when she didn't hate you that is. I had been nothing but good to her so she thankfully didn't dislike me in anyway.
"Sure." I said easily with a smile and made my way over to her desk. My black shiny heels made a tapping sound as I approached her. Don't fall… smile. Oh God don't fall! I wobbled slightly, but no one noticed. Typical Monday morning sleepiness that needed to be worn off.
My worn out sneakers would have been much more comfortable, but I was the example of the perfect girl. I had been keeping this act up since I moved from Phoenix when I first started my freshman year in high school.
Earlier that year my mom, Renee, had married Phil, a baseball player. They were always somewhere going to games, trying to get Phil signed to a team, or on vacation. I needed some regularity in my life. To achieve this regularity I moved to Forks to live with my father, Charlie.
My first day of High School where I knew no one was the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me. There weren't many people compared to the school I would be going to, but they still scared me. Jessica Stanly was one of the more intimidating people. She seemed to have it all together. She knew everyone, even some of the seniors. And everyone seemed to know her to.
I wanted that. I didn't want to be the flaky new girl that was consistently falling like I was last year. I wanted to show everyone that I was someone. One thing led to another and sooner than I knew it I was the girl with perfect grades, nails, and attitude.
"Hey, so what question do you need help with?" I asked when I reached her. I always stayed up extra late studying the next chapter in most of my classes. I worked incredibly hard on my studies almost as hard as I worked on my grace and athletics.
"Well actually…" Jessica started with a smile, "I don't understand this entire chapter. I've tried to understand it but… Do you think you could tutor me after school some time?" She continued smiling.
"Oh! Sure I can. Well since there's a test on Thursday, how about we meet somewhere Wednesday. Ok?" I put my hands in my jean pockets and heard the door open. Alice scrambled in along with the other members of the class.
Jessica nodded looking pleased and I went back to my seat. Alice was already sitting down looking very happy. When I sat down she nearly jumped on me.
"Oh my God! Bella we're getting a new student! And he's supposedly gorgeous and smart and in our grade. I can't wait to meet him. Maybe he'll like shopping!" She was practically bouncing in her seat and smiling so wide I'm surprised her teeth didn't fall out.
"Alice chill out!" I couldn't help but laugh. The door opened again and the teacher, a man in his forties with hair going gray and blue eyes, named Mr. Markovets walked in with someone following him.
This had to be the new kid that Alice was overjoyed that was coming to school. I had to admit that he was quite cute. His bronze hair looked slightly tousled, but it was a good look on him.
Everyone in the class looked up at him. I felt bad for him. When I was in his place I remember how self conscious I felt. I really did pity him. I looked to my left and there happened to be an empty seat. Then again there was also an empty seat next to Jessica and Eric.
The new boy was being introduced by Markovets when I caught the look Jessica was giving him. Trying to be perfect also entitled that you don't make the first move, you always let the guy do all the talking. Talking and being friends is one thing, but Jessica was pretty much hitting on him in the middle of class. Some girls are so overly desperate, how embarrassing.
"This is Edward Cullen, he just moved here from Alaska. Try to make him feel welcome." Mr. Markovets said in his quiet and slightly monotonous voice. Edward moved towards the seats, all eyes on him. He made his way towards the back. Towards me! Ok, the seat next to me, but still it was in my direction.
Once class started I said hi trying to be friendly and he smiled back. That was pretty much the extent to our first 'conversation' if you could actually call it that. Then the questions stated being asked. Most of which I knew, but only a few that I got to answer. It seemed that Mr. Cullen knew everything I did. In fact he knew more! All my hard work to be the best in all my classes was suddenly going down the drain, and it was all thanks to this over achiever. I wasn't the only one who noticed Edward's intellectual status either. Many people, mostly the girls, were giggling when we both raised out hands and he was called.
After class Jessica walked right up to him. "Hi, umm… since you're new in town I was wondering if I could show you around sometime. But in exchange, do you think you could help me with my math?" Jessica shot me a look to say you're-out-of-the-job and smiled back at him. My mouth dropped. I stood up and decided that not having to babysit her all day wouldn't be a bad thing; no it would mean that I could do stuff and have a life. Or study more.
Out of that entire day it looked as though I had three classes with him. The rest of his classes were honors and AP. The last class that I had with him was gym at the end of the day. So I would be seeing him when I arrived at school and when I left. Great. That was sarcasm, yeah I know I should just accept the fact that he's smart but I was having a bad day. Today we were playing volleyball. Not my best sport but I could usually save my team from burning and crashing.
Sports aren't exactly my cup of tea but I can usually get through them unscathed. Today though, I was going to be bruised. Not only did Edward have an amazing spike, which I was the first to learn about face on (the ball hit my nose causing it to bleed), but his sets were also prefect along with his overhand serve.
I was bright red when the incident happened. He called over an apology, but I was fuming. This JERK comes in and is taking my place! He was perfect at everything. Even his manners were perfect. He was being hit on all day but not once did he seem rude or perverted or impatient or… well anything but charming. In one day he had the school in the palm of his hand.
After school I was able to catch up with him. "Hey, Edward right? How was your day?" I asked as sweetly as I could muster. You jerk if my nose looks funny tomorrow I'll kill you with my bare hands! I can't believe the NERVE you have!
He looked at me slightly wide eyed. "Oh hey! You're Bella Swan aren't you? Look about gym, I'm really sorry. I didn't think that would happen. Please forgive me." He looked apologetic. It was so cute that I nearly forgot why I was mad. Nearly being the keyword.
"Oh that? Psht! That's already forgotten. So where do you live do you need a ride home?" I asked. That's when I spotted a new silver Volvo. It had never been in this parking lot, maybe a teacher finally saved upp enough money or something. But this isn't the teacher's parking lot so that means it's his?! It couldn't be… No NONONONO I screamed in my head
"Well actually I have a car." He motioned towards the shiny vehicle that stood out. "But thanks for the offer. I have to go now, so I'll see you tomorrow. Bye." He said as he was starting to turn away. He smiled at me and turned completely around
"Bye." I called after him. I swear I'll be better than you! Edward Cullen… you're such a jerk!
When I got home I tore off my shoes and put my feet in cold, icy water. I took my cell phone from my pocket and put it on the table in the kitchen. I could already see the blisters forming. After 20 minutes of letting them soak I decided to get up.
From there I went up stair to get my bag of toiletries and went to the bathroom. I went to the cabinet for some make up remover and took all that off.
I looked at myself with out the make up. I was starting to break out. My skin was pale and naturally oily. I had dark circles under my eyes from the late nights.
Then I put my medium brown hair up in a sloppy bun. I pealed my legs out of the tight jeans and put on an old pair of stained gym shorts. I then took off the itchy shirt and threw on a baggy ripped one and a pair of sock. The socks had holes in them making me look similar to a hobo. I went down stairs to start dinner.
While walking down the stair I became normal Bella again. I fell… hard. I hit the floor with my face causing my nose to bleed for the second time that day. I got up and went to the kitchen to wipe the blood away with the napkin. Now that I wasn't at school I had to sit down while doing this.
I have serious issues with blood, including my own. I was so dizzy that I couldn't stand. Then there was a wave of nausea. Then someone came through the door, Charlie. "Bells?" He looked at em concerned.
"Blood." That was all that had to be said. He knew how I felt about the matter. Just then my phone started to buzz on the table top. I looked at the ID, but didn't recognize the number,
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey, it's Edward. I-" I cut him off and snapped the phone shut.
Haha yeah i redid some of it. Hope you like! Oh, and I'm half way done with chapter 12, sorry it's taking so long.
