~I did delete She Makes Me Wonder because; I believe I did not put my heart into it like my previous story. I told myself never to do that again and, listen to my heart. So no more 'She Makes Me Wonder' it's a new story. I hope you enjoy
BPOV
I walk to school. I walk to school with shaking legs, and a nervous stomach. What if they never changed? What if they found out another bad part of me? These thoughts do not help me. I could not even drive to school because; I thought my lack of concentration would kill me more quickly. My phone starts to buzz and I open it and read a text sent by my marvelous boy friend (no romantic relationship).
Jake: Hey, good luck. Show those people you've changed. You're not the other girl anymore.
I smile to myself and close my phone. I continue walking; it's surprisingly not raining today. But it's still foggy. My phone starts vibrating again. I look at my mother calling.
"Hello?" I ask still walking.
"Bella, Is that you?"
"No mom, it's an oompa loompa." I mumble.
"You're not an oompa loompa!" She yells into my ear.
"What if they-"
"They won't. Show them my Bella I've seen these past few years. They'll shut up." I chuckle.
"Yeah, guess so, bye."
"Bye love ya."
"Love you too mom." I click the end button and look at Forks High School. I still cannot believe I agreed to come back here. Memories start swirling around, dizzying my brain and making me more nauseous. Not much has changed since I moved away in fourth grade...well, except which school I now go to. I sigh and make sure my body is not dead...yet. I walk to the office. I am greeted with warm air as I walk in the stuffy office. The secretary looks up and her face lightens.
"Bella!" She says. Oh God no, it's Ms. Red. She used to adore me when I was in second grade, then she got transferred here. I almost forgot. She hugs me, then quickly lets me go, looking at me in the eyes. "How are you?" I ask.
"I'm good." I lie; I'm not good. I feel really sick, like I smelled or saw blood.
"That's good..Oh yes, here you go! There's a map, your schedule, everything you need!" She says stuffing papers in my face. I smile and take them all.
"Thanks, bye." I say walking away.
"Bye-bye!" She giggles. I roll my eyes and look at the map. I turn a corner and bump into a rock. Of course, I walked into a wall huh. I fall over and look up. It was not a rock, it was a guy. A gorgeous, beautiful, and sexy, guy. With bronze hair, green eyes, perfect body. The perfect guy; my fantasy guy. I shake my head clearing my thoughts. I have a boyfriend! I yell mentally at myself.
"Oh sorry, I didn't see you there." His smooth voice says, he takes my hand and zaps me.
"Ouch!" I jump.
"Sorry, here." He helps me up. "I'm sorry, I feel like I've seen you before what's your name?" Oh......no. I just remember, my number one bully had the same eyes, the same hair.
"No one," I mumble coolly. I walk off. That was Edward Cullen, had to be. No one else has that hair. At least, no one I've ever seen. I went to English, my stomach knotted tighter as I walked in. No one else was there. Good, I would rather like to avoid introductions. The teacher walks in and her eyes widen as she sees me.
"I'm sorry, who are you?" She asks raising her eyebrows. I sigh.
"I'm Bella Swan I just transferred here um...I moved back." She should know my father, chief Swan.
"Oh your Charlie's daughter," She says, her face lighting up. "Just yesterday I got a speeding ticket from that man!" I held back my laughter.
"Ah-hah." I nod and bite my lip. The students came in, piling in one by one, each one I remember.
"Hello." Oh great. Mike Newton. You have not changed one bit huh. "And who are you?"
"I'm Bella Swan...you remember...do you?" I ask trying not to stutter.
"No way, Isabella Marie Swan?!?!"
"Just Bella, please."
"The ugly duckling actually did turn into a swan huh." Girls in front of me whisper giggling. I clench my jaw. This is not going to be a good day. My cheeks turn blazing hot and think; it's these peoples fault I'm like this. I didn't have to be as shy as I am right now.
"What did she do? Plastic surgery or something?" The other girl asks.
"You know I can hear you right?" I spit. They look back, Jessica and what's-her-name the one who always gave me the stink eye. They both roll their eyes.
"Why did you come back?" Jessica sighed dramatically. "We didn't ask for this punishment."
"If you don't want me to punch your fake nose you would shut up." I mumble crossing my arms.
"What? Did you just call my nose fake?" Jessica asks.
"It's fairly obvious it is fake. Your nose used to be all long and now? It's shortened. Definitely fake." I laugh.
"It could be I just grew to fit my nose." She says turning away.
"That is highly unlikely." I say laughing. Payback is the sweetest victory-I'm not done just yet.
"Hey guys! Bella's back!" Mike yells waving his hands in front of the entire class, the class clown still, like always. They all looked at me, the guy's eyes lightening and the girl's eyes narrowing. Why don't they just take a picture? It lasts way longer than I ever will. My cheeks flush bright red, reminding me of a traffic light, no wonder they used to call me that too.
"Welcome back Bella!" Eric whistles.
"Yeah thanks." I mumble, why are they being nice to me? Now? The class went on and then the bell buzzed telling us to go to our next classes. I took my new book, Romeo and Juliet, and put it in a backpack. I stood up and began reading the schedule. Only two more classes until lunch. Lunch…Eating...In front of them...I want to puke.
"Hey do you need a guide?" Eric asks. Then Mike comes to me.
"Do you need me to show you around school?" Mike asks.
Ben now comes up. No one ever changes in this place do they? I still see their evil little faces laughing at me. "Hey Bella, nice to see you. You need-"
"I don't need any help. Especially! From any of you!" I say walking away.
"Bella's back."
"Did you hear Bella's back?"
"Where is she?"
"There."
"Oh my God! She changed!"
"I know."
"Ugly duckling-"
"Turned into a Swan...surprised me too." people whisper.
"Bella's back."
"Holy...."
"No way."
"Bella...you know...she's back."
"You know I bet they didn't even realize I can hear them all whispering about me." I mumble entering art class. The classroom that was buzzing with excitement fell silent as the door shut behind me. Kids looked at me. All familiar faces…well, except for one. I decided to sit in the back with the girl that I was not familiar with.
"Um hello, who..wh..who are you?" She asked shyly, I looked at her. Longish hair, a little past her shoulders, she was pretty. "Wait. A-a-are you Bella?" She asks looking at me.
"Yeah," I sigh. "You've heard?"
"I've heard things like: 'Bella's back' but I didn't know who you were."
"Who are you?" I ask.
"Angela." She says blushing a little. I wonder if she got picked on-or if she was just shy.
"Nice to meet you Angela, you're the only one here whom I don't already know." I chuckle.
"Really? You must be popular then." She says smiling.
"No. Not really. They only know me because they all used to bully me."
"Oh…Sorry I didn't mean to-"
"It's alright," I say smiling warmly at her. "I've changed since then."
"Oh…well, that's good......I…I...I think." She says smiling. "I can't speak today for some odd reason."
"You seem like you can speak fine today." I say smiling wider.
"Everyone keeps picking on me for my stuttering." She admits.
"Well, you just said a sentence without stuttering. Is it possible you're shy?" I smile
"Very, I mean I could die from embarrassment every day, I want to make friends; I stutter so no one gives me the time of day to let me know them! I say one sentence and they roll their eyes and walk away! No one has the patience for me. And I am rambling on." She takes a deep breath. "Sorry."
"They are all idiots." I laugh. "You're speaking fine now."
"Yeah."
"It didn't take long for you to speak normally."
"I know but, they have zero tolerance for shy people. You're the nicest person here." She says putting a pencil on paper.
"It does not surprise me that no one's changed. They are all so immature!" I laugh. "What are we doing?"
"We are supposed to be drawing faces." She says biting her lip in concentration. "Mine's ugly. Oh, yeah she outlined some of the stuff for us; I'll go get you a paper." She stands up and walks to the front desk. She grabs a piece of paper, then comes back, and hands the paper to me. "You have a pencil right?" She asks. I nod. I began to draw eyes and lips. And then the bell rang. I picked up and left with Angela.
"Bella's back."
"Oh there she is! Hey Bella! What's up?" Someone yells. I turn and see Jasper. Jasper Hale, he is one of Edward's 'soldiers'.
"Hi." I say and turn back to walk to my next class. I look at the schedule. Okay room 150. It was Modern Algebra II. I sigh. I hate this. I enter 105 and everyone stares at me...AGAIN! I thought it was rude to stare. Is there an exception for me? Oh, I feel honored.
Modern Algebra was boring. To be frank, I already learned this, Forks has to catch up. The bell rang which meant everyone was ushered into the cafeteria. Great. I follow the crowd and sit down in a seat. I'm not hungry. I take out a book to read-Wuthering Heights. I put my feet on a chair chuckle at myself.
Then everyone starts whistling when they walk past me. Well, every guy that is. I tighten my fist. Then I look up when I hear a tray slamming on my table. I look up and see Mike, and then Jessica. I take a deep breath. "Now, why are you guys sitting here?" I ask.
"This is our table." I roll my eyes and sit in the back near the window. And then I hear another tray slam down. I look up and see Edward Cullen.
"Um, why are you sitting here?"
"This is my table."
"Is the whole cafeteria assigned?" I ask. He shakes his head.
"Then I'm not moving, I sat here first. Go find another table." I laugh.
"But this is where I always sit."
"How am I supposed to know that?"
"If you're not moving, I'm sitting." He says pulling out a chair; I put my feet on there.
"So sorry, this table's full."
"What's your problem?"
"I am crazy, and you?" I ask smiling up innocently.
"I don't have a problem."
"Oh, come now Edward." I say standing up and picking up his carrot cake off of his tray. "Everyone has a problem."
"How do you know my name?"
"You haven't figured it out?" I ask laughing. "Here's a little clue." I smash his carrot cake in his face. Like he did to me, then I stick my finger out run my finger down his cheek and lick some of the frosting. "Yummy, my favorite," I say laughing. "Or at least it was." I spit. He grabs his napkin and begins cleaning his face.
"Why did you do that?" He asks quietly.
"Why? Do you know who I am now?" I ask, he raises his head and shakes it. "You put carrot cake in my face telling me to get away from this town." He cocks his head to his left. "You'll know soon enough." I whisper walking away. I go into the bathroom stall and lock it. I did it. I stood up for myself, and it felt good. I wipe tears away and chuckle. These are not tears caused from sadness, but extreme happiness.
"Bella, are you in there?" Angela's voice asks quietly. I come out of the stall and smile. "Oh God Bella, what happened?"
"I smashed cake in Edward Cullen's face," I chuckle "And it felt really good."
"Ha!" Angela laughs. "I want to see!" She takes my hand and we both run back into the cafeteria. Edward cleaned most of his face up but there was still white frosting on his cheek and some in his hair. "Oh my God, you are my savior." Edward was reading though, my book, my Wuthering Heights book. I forgot to take it with me to the girl's bathroom. This is going to go great!
EPOV (I couldn't help myself! I like both point of views)
Who was that girl? That girl the put carrot cake all over my face? It's not like I'm going to go screaming and yell: "my beautiful face! Some strange girl put carrot cake all over my beautiful face!" But still.
"Hey Edward, I heard some girl put carrot cake all over you and then licked some off! I had to see." Jasper laughs at me as I wash the frosting off. "Who did it?"
"I don't know, I've never seen that girl in my life and to top it all off she said I smashed carrot cake in her face telling her to get out of Forks."
"That sounds familiar." Jasper says
"Are you saying I did that to a girl?"
"It rings a bell."
"Well, if it rings a bell you should be able to tell me who it was right?"
"Nah, I'll let you figure it out for yourself. However I'll give you a hint. After you put carrot cake in her face and yelled at her to get out, she never came back."
"That does not ring any bell."
"That's another clue."
"What is?"
"Ringing bells is your clue." I look at Jasper like he's crazy.
"Ringing bells," I repeat he nods. "Bells."
"You're getting warmer." He laughs. We walk back into the cafeteria and I see her book I pick it up, Wuthering Heights. What an odd name. I open it to the first page and start reading before I know it, the bell rings and I dump my tray in the trash and walk to Chemistry, book in hand. I sit down and then I raise my head and see the crazy person who put carrot cake in my face. She looks all superior.
"I want all of you to welcome Miss Isabella Swan." The teacher says. That name rings a bell, where have I heard it?
"Just Bella," She corrects smiling warmly. She is Bella Swan. Of course, why didn't I see it before! She came back? Wow, she came back. Oh God, she came back! What am I going to do? I tormented her for the longest time, that's why she put carrot cake in my face. I did that to her! She hates me. No question about it. And I live right next door to her now. This will be great! Note sarcasm. Should I ignore her? Should I beg on my knees for forgiveness? Okay, that I will not do (beg for forgiveness I mean).
"Bella, please sit down next to Mr. Edward Cullen over there," He says to Bella. "I'm sorry; you two will have to share a textbook until further notice." Her eyes widen and then she turns her head slowly and looks at me. She takes a deep breath and begins walking. She trips on nothing and falls over. Her cheeks inflame and she stands back up. Damn that cute blush, that's what, got her into that mess. She sits next to me and puts her hair down between me and her.
"Why so shy all of the sudden?" I whisper to her. "I mean you did put carrot cake all over my face and now you're being shy? Ha, that's funny."
"Shut up." She hisses at me.
"But you're the legendary Bella Swan! Everyone's talking about you I bet."
"Yeah," She chuckles. "Saying I turned into an actual Swan and not an ugly duckling anymore. By the way, thanks for that nickname."
"What nickname would that be?" I ask.
"You were the first one to call me Ugly Duckling." She spits. Oh that's right.
"Well, then you must be happy that everyone is calling you a Swan now." I say.
"Yeah, reminding me of everything is just great!" she whispers sarcastically.
"Can't we just forget about it and move on?" I ask smiling hopefully.
"What! Forget about five years of my life? Not likely." She says and then she begins reading over my shoulder; such a close proximity. I sneak a peek at her, she's actually really attractive. And she smells great. Not to mention her voice. I shake my head, no hate her. I have to hate her. She has to hate me that's how it works. But…all those years ago…
"You came here to meet your mommy and daddy?" She giggles. "That's silly; you should know who your mommy and daddy are right after you come out of your mommy's belly."
"No! I'm here to meet my new mommy and daddy." I cross my arms frowning.
"What happened to your other mommy and daddy?" She asks sitting next to me.
"They died." I say tears threatening at the corner of my eyes.
"I'm sorry," She whispers.
"What?" I ask.
"I'm so sorry!" She suddenly hugs me, making me go on the ground. "I'm sorry." She cries. A minute later we are sitting up again.
"You don't have to cry." I say. "I'm not crying. Stop crying."
"Mm…Edward?"
"What?" I ask.
"Are you sad?" She asks looking at me. I nod slowly. She kisses me on my lips. She retreats. "Whenever I'm sad my mommy kisses my cheek…but that wasn't your cheek huh." She blushes. I kiss her on her cheek and she blushes even more.
"Edward, come on." Esme ushers me to my new home.
"I have to go." I say she hugs me.
"I will never forget you." She whispers and then lets me go.
The bell rings and I jump out of my seat, taking my book with me and her book.
"Hey! Edward!" She yells after me in the hall. I roll my eyes and turn.
"What?" I ask smirking.
"Can I have my book back?" She asks already irritated with me.
"Um, yeah sure," I hand her the book. "Sorry, I forgot to give it back to you."
She crosses her arms. "You wouldn't have given it back unless a chased after you." I chuckle. "What!" I shake my head.
"Nothing," I walk away. "Oh hey," I say before I'm not in ear shot. "Welcome back."
"Yeah well…I'm sure you will be happy to have your emotional punching bag back." She mumbles looking down.
"I promise not to have you as my emotional punching bag," I smile. "Promise."
"Don't think I'll forgive you just because you promise not to pick on me again, don't think I'll just forget like what you did to me," She says. "I will never forget." My jaw tightens in response. I turn and walk away.
BPOV *after school*
I park my red truck next to the Cullen's house. I'm emotionally exhausted.
"What a day!" I exclaim getting out. I lock my truck and hear blasting speakers coming from Emmett's car no doubt.
"Oh hey Bella," Emmett says getting out of his truck and coming over to me. "What's up?"
"Hi Emmett," I say. "Bye Emmett." I turn to my house. Then I see a silver Volvo shooting to the Cullen's driveway. Edward comes out followed by Alice and Jasper. Jasper's arm loops around Alice's shoulder. Alice just happens to look my way and our faces light up. She shrugs Jasper's arm of and runs towards me, hugging me tightly.
"Bella! Bella!" She squeals "Your back!"
"Wow, Alice I haven't seen you in a while!" I say smiling. "How've you been?" I ask.
"I've been the luckiest girl alive." She giggles. "I'm now dating Jasper!" I chuckle.
"Didn't you two hate each other?"
"Well, yes but something changed." She shrugs. "I'm not sure what!" We both laugh. "I heard you put carrot cake all over Edward today?" She asks.
"Yep and I'm proud of it!" I laugh.
"There's my Bella! Well, I got to go. Promise me we will be friends like we used to?"
"Of course!" I say gladly, the more friends the better. She hugs me again.
"Bye!" She says running into the Cullen's house. I go to the back yard and do my homework, after an hour I go into my bag and pull out my black IPod. I turn it on and find myself listening to: High School Never Ends-Bowling for Soup. I begin singing and twirling.
EPOV
"I'm going for a walk." I tell everyone. "Bye."
"Bye!" Esme says and I close the door. I begin walking down my street, the cool breeze hitting my arms.
"HEY!" I hear someone yell, I turn the corner and see Bella dancing and singing and head banging to bowling for soup.
"Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh HEY!

Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh, Oh Oh Oh-Oh…."
She lands on the ground gasping for breath and giggling. She blushes even though no one is there.
"Hey Edward!" Bella laughs. "Look at me! Look at me!" I turn and see her twirling in her backyard. "I can do it without falling!" She giggles and then falls.
"Bella!" I run to her. "Are you okay?" I ask she nods and stands up her cheeks red.
"My mommy taught me a new song. Wanna hear?" I nod. "You are my sunshine my only sunshine! You make me happy! When skies are gray…you never know dear how much I love you…please don't take my sunshine away…The other night dear! When I was sleeping…I dreamy I held you in my arms. When I awoke dear! I was mistaken…so I laid my head down and cried. You are my sunshine…my only sunshine! You make me happy! When skies are gray, you never know dear! How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. "
"That's a sad song." I say pouting.
"No! It's about someone telling someone how much that person loves the other!"
"But she cries in the song."
"Well you never know! After the song, that person might have gotten up and found that other person and they both hugged and kissed forever and ever!" She giggles, hugging her arms while twirling. She sings the song again and she grabs me hands. "Don't let me fall okay?" She orders.
"Okay." I nod and we both twirl around. We sit down and laugh.
"So why are you here?" She asks "My mommy and daddy are at work. Why are you here?"
"I just came to this town to meet my mommy and daddy."
"Edward!" Esme yells, I turn and run back inside the house before Bella knows I was staring at her. I look back outside thanking the universe that Bella came back.
