Bella's POV
I climbed out of my truck. As soon as I stepped foot on the parking lot, I could feel the gazes of people. They didn't even feel the need to look away when they knew that I KNEW they were looking at me. They were unashamedly ogling me. It made me feel a little uncomfortable. Just then, Alice came skipping up next to me.
"Are you going to thank me?" she asked.
"Thank you for what?" I answered knowing full well what she meant.
"I know that you know what I mean. Now say it Bella before I make you stand up on the water fountain and announce it to the world." Alice's threats always scared me, so I literally got down on my hands and knees worshiping her.
"Get up before you stain those jeans," she said.
And with that we headed indoors where heads turned wherever we went. I knew Alice was pretty and all but they really should have some self-preservation and dignity.
"Why do they keep staring at you, Alice?"
"Oh, they're not staring at me. They're staring at you my dear Bella."
For a moment I had forgotten that I had changed. Last year, no one really talked to me that much with the exception of Alice and Angela. I looked down and realized that I had reinvented myself. I was no longer the geek no one gave a second glance to. I had curves, and Alice and I (mostly Alice) found clothes that fitted to my body perfectly. No more baggy clothes for me. I needed to show to everyone that I was no longer going to keep my mouth closed during those long discussions in English. I was going to voice my opinion and not care who thinks what about me. This was the new Bella.
I already had my locker number and schedule, so I went to grab my textbooks to put them in my locker. School had always been the one place in my life where I knew where I belonged, but now that that had all changed, this year was going to be different. This year was MY year.
I arrived at my new locker and tried to juggle my books while opening it. This didn't turn out so well, and the books toppled to the floor.
"Need some help," a velvety voice asked in my ear.
I turned around, although I already knew who it was that had spoken to me. I just stared.
"Are you new here?" He asked as though he had the right to talk to me.
How the hell dare he talk to me after all this time? I was beyond angry. This is exactly what I told him. At first he looked shocked that I had yelled in his face then he must have realized who he was talking to.
"Bells, is that really you?"
With that I turned and walked away. He didn't deserve for me to talk to him. I found Alice talking to some cute, tall, blonde haired guy. I would apologize for interrupting later.
"Al, can I put my stuff in your locker? I was talking to Edward and he got me so angry that I walked away without putting my books in my locker. I-" Well, apparently, I didn't need to talk any longer because Alice had opened her locker for me while I was giving her an explanation that she didn't need.
"Thanks Al, I owe you."
"You don't owe me anything Bells. I just want to be there when you tell him off."
"I'll try my best. Thanks again Al," I said while turning my back to walk away.
With that, I headed to homeroom. I had Mrs. Jefferson. Great. I heard that a lot of people hated her. Especially my brother, Emmett. He hated her as a teacher but enjoyed playing jokes on her. I knew that once she saw my last name on her roster she would insist that I get transferred out of her room. My brother made her life hell as much as she did to his. Some of the things he did to her were hilarious; some were embarrassing even to me. One time, he rode his bicycle into the classroom only to fly threw the window. When I asked him why he did it, he said he "wanted too see Jefferson's reaction if he actually did it." Great reasoning Emmett.
As soon as I passed the threshold and entered the room, Mrs. Jefferson's gaze immediately flickered to me. Oh no.
"You must be Ms. Isabella Swan. You're teachers have told me so much about you. They absolutely adore you. I just hope you are the polar opposite of your brother. He was… interesting," she spoke softly with a smile. Okay, not the reaction I thought. She didn't sound like a fire breathing dragon that Emmett described. In fact, she seemed like a great teacher. I think I was going to like her.
"Believe me, Mrs. Jefferson. I am nothing like my brother. Sometimes I don't even think he is my brother. I think he was adopted," I said with a grin.
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship Ms. Swan. Just keep your brother away from my room," she said, her voice slightly shaking.
I just smiled and took a seat in the back of the room. With my luck you can guess who walked into the room just then. Edward freaking Cullen. This was going to be one hell of a year.
Okay so this is my first fanfic ever. I know that I have some places to improve. Review and give me some tips to help me out. Thanks.
