Chapter 2: Just Great

"OW, OW, OW, OW!" someone yelled. I stopped dead in my tracks because no one lived in this back street of forks except the chief of police, and he lived here alone. I tried to ignore as it was none of my business until I heard the voice again.

"Help me, please, anyone?" I followed the voice and then I found her. There was a girl, well I think she was a girl, trapped underneath three lots of bicycles.

"Oh my god, are you ok?" I asked as I was taking the bikes of this poor girl.

"Yeah, I'm ok. I've had worse, thanks." I couldn't see her face; her hair was everywhere and she was wearing a grey hoddie that was so big that it didn't show off the curves of her body at all.

"That's fine. You're just really lucky I was riding by otherwise, who knows how long you could have been there for."

"Yeah, thanks again. I'm just a really big klutz."

"So, are you riding to school?"

"Uh, yeah, it's my only transport until I get a car. How about you? Do you ride often or is this just a onetime thing?"

"No, I ride all the time unless it rains, then I'll take my car. Even then I'll ride just to get away from her."

"Why?"

"Because I'd rather take my time getting to school and it's the only time I get to think to myself. My family is a bit full on all the time. Yeah, so I better get going."

"Yeah, thanks again."

With that I left and continued riding to school. Then I realized she was riding behind me. We were on the last hill where I stopped and waited for her. She knew what wanted and smiled as I said, "Ready, Set-" I was cut off when she yelled 'GO' and she was off. I was a bit stunned at first but it didn't take me long to get back on track. She was quite fast for the little bike she was on, though I caught up in no time and took the lead I reached the rack first, but she wasn't far off. As she got there, she skidded and nearly went over the handle bars. She would've if I wasn't there to catch her. When I touched her, I got this little spark. It wasn't a bad spark. Actually, it felt pretty good. I put her on the ground and waited for her to be stable and I let go of her.

"Oh, thanks again. I'm not sure I'll be doing that again."

"Don't worry. I'll be her to catch you." Wait, did I just say that?

"Thanks. Maybe we can try again tomorrow if you ride."

"Yeah, maybe."

"Well, see you later." She said and we both went our own ways.

School felt it was going forever and it was only Lunch. I still had two more subjects left for the day, biology and Spanish. I couldn't wait for biology because I had an entire desk to myself and I already knew all the stuff we were leaning so I just got to sit and relax.

When I got to the lunchroom, I found Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett sitting at our usual table, all sitting beside their significant other; Alice and Jasper, and Emmett and Rosalie, Jasper's twin sister.

"Be ready here comes the B.I.T.C.H," said Rosalie.

"Um, Rose, honey, B.I.T.C.H is not a word, it's just letters. What are you talking about?" Emmett questioned. That got everyone laughing though Emmett looked confused.

"Oh, Emmett, how do you spell bitch?"

"Rose, don't swear."

"Just spell it, Emmett."

"B.I.T.C- oh, okay, I get it now. Who's the B.I.T.C.H?"

"Tanya."

"Oh, she isn't a bitch, she's a whore." And with that, Alice started in on her usual rant about Tanya.

"Hey guys, please don't. Not today. I'm already questioning our relationship." I just couldn't do it today. She had already pissed me off and she still expected me to say sorry when she started it. The only thing I said was that she goes around selling herself, which is technically true. She may think I don't know but she uses all the guys to her advantage, and then once they have done something for her, they have a full-on make out session. I heard this in the boys' locker room where Eric Yorkie was going on about how good of a kisser she is. That day I went off on her about it and she promised me that it was only the one time. I was dumb enough believe her that time. Though today in PE, Mike Newton was saying how he got lucky yesterday with her.

"Why what has she done this time?" asked Jazz.

"Oh, you know the usual. Sleeping with Mike Newton, that's all."

"What?!" they all yelled at me. I was about to explain until Tanya came and sat down. "Hey, Hun. I'm sorry about earlier. I was just really upset." I couldn't be here. If I spoke, I was going to blow, so I just got up and walked out.

I heard footsteps behind me, high heels clicking against the floor. It was Tanya.

"Tanya, I just need to be alone at the moment to work some things out"

"Is it me is about this morning? I said I was sorry."

"Just leave me alone now and I will explain later."

"Fine." With that I went into the music room where no one was so I went to the piano and let all my feelings out: anger, sorrow and, most of all, relief. I knew what I had to do. I had to dump Tanya. I hadn't notice I had started to play something different, something lighter. I knew I wasn't supposed to be in the music room, but I never listened. I always had after school detentions because I came in here but I didn't care. This relaxed me. No one knew I could play, not even Alice. When I got detention for being in here, I just told them that I didn't do my homework or I forgot it.

"That's beautiful. You play as good as Beethoven." It was the girl from this morning. She still was wearing that stupid hoodie so you couldn't see her face.

"Um, you are aware you're not meant to be in here, right?"

"Aren't I? I'm sorry. I just heard the music and it just drew me in. You are really good"

"Thanks. You're the only one to ever notice or to know I play so please don't tell anyone"

"I've told you more than once, Mr. Cullen that I don't want to see you in here. Last time it was you and Miss Denali and this time it's you and Miss Swan. What are you doing in here?" said Mr. Banner angrily.

"Oh, sorry. I was just singing to myself and Mr. Cullen here told me that I shouldn't be in here, that's all."

"Well, maybe Mr. Cullen here can tell you more of the dos and don'ts of the school in after school detention."

"Yes, Mr. Banner." He gave us another stern look before he turned around and left the room.

"Wow, I have never had someone do that for me before, even if it still got me detention. Last time with Tanya, she said I dragged her in here, and I got detention for two days. The first one was for being in here and the second one for not keeping my hands to myself. Thanks for trying."

"You're welcome."

"So do you actually sing?"

"Ah, when I'm by myself and no one is around to hear, then yes, I do. But in front of people, I don't."

"Well, maybe you could sing for me one day since you've already heard me play." I smiled up at her when I realized that it wasn't just put on for a show. I was actually smiling. I was just about to ask for her name before the bell rang.

"Well, I should get to class. I don't want another detention on my first day."

"No, we wouldn't want that. Maybe I'll see you in detention?"

"Yeah, I guess you will. Bye"

"Hey, what's your name?" I called after her but it was too late. She was already gone. I picked up my things and went to class. I sighed when I remembered that I had Biology now with Mr. Banner.

Just great.
