Chapter 2

I had my jersey on to help with telling Charlie. I walked into the house to see him in the living room watching football. He looked at the jersey and said, "Who's the boy?" I sighed. "I didn't get this from a boy." I said. I turned around so he could see my name. "Then where did you get it-" He stopped when he saw SWAN on my back. "Isabella what is going on?" He asked, using his stern voice. "Dad I joined the football team." I said. He started laughing just like the damn couch. "Bella, honey. You cant play you will seriously hurt yourself." Charlie said. "Watch me." I said quietly and went to my bedroom.

Soon two weeks of football practice went by and today was our first big game. We were against the Phoenix, Arizona school. Which is ironic but I ignored that fact. In the end we won. 46 to 34. I scored half of those touch downs.

I have put on a lot of muscle from all the practices not any weight though.

Another two weeks after that we had another home game. Against Houston, Texas. We lost. 34 to 86. All the guys were complaining and I was also but not out loud. We have another game tomorrow. This one was in Denali, Alaska. And it wasn't a home game. I was completely freaked out. What if the Cullen's are there? I tried not to breakdown completely and stuffed all my equipment in my duffel bag then threw it on my shoulder. Then I walked out of the girls locker room.

I heard people coming up behind me and turned to see Richard, Craig, and Steve. Members of the team, they are complete jerks. And before I knew it they threw me against the lockers. Ouch. "We lost because of you." Craig said. "No, it was a team effort." I responded. They slammed me against the lockers again and I fell to the ground. They started kicking my stomach and I swear I heard some ribs break. "That should teach you not to mess with us. And don't tell anyone or you wont live to 20." Steve said and walked away with Richard. But Craig decided a punch would finish it. And he punched me in the face and I saw stars. He walked away.

About a hour later I grabbed my bag and went into the girls bathroom of the school. It hurt to breath. I looked in the mirror and my eyes widened to see I had a black eye. I pulled up my shirt to see a million black and blue bruises. Great. I got ganged up on by my own team. Can I trust anyone anymore? Silent tears streamed down my cheeks. I went through my bag and was happy to find sunglasses. I quickly put them on to cover the black eye and walked out with my bag on my shoulder.

This is great. Renee marries Phil, I move here. I fall in love with Edward Cullen, he leaves me. I go zombie for months and when I finally come over it I play football. And my whole team hates me so now I was just ganged up on by the team. Great. Just Great. Could this get any worse?
