The burning finally died down after what seemed like an eternity. I willed my eyes to open and as soon as I did so I was greeted by a familiar face I hadn't seen in weeks. Charlie, my dad. We had finally gotten around to telling him about us. We told him about our inhuman speed, our angelic-like beauty, our impossible strength and our frozen ages. However, we hadn't told him that we're vampires per say, the Volturi was still an ever present threat and told him that we couldn't give away everything but that in time we'd find away.
Charlie stared at me intently and then said "Morning Bells, better get up, you don't want to be late on your first day"
"Dad, what are you doing here? First day of what? Where am I?" I was beyond confused. Something wasn't right.
A look of concern crossed his face as he responded to my questions "Bells, are you okay? Did you bump your head? You're at home and today's you're first day at Forks High. I'll be down stairs but I hope to see you up and dressed in 10"
"Oh" was all I could respond. What happened? First day? I already graduated. Where was Edward? I decided to just go with it and I got up and went to race to the closet to get dressed using my vampire speed but stumbled and ended up doing a face plant on the floor with a big THUMP. "Everything ok?" Charlie called from downstairs. "Yeah Dad, everything's fine". I didn't want him to worry. I had no idea what was going on. I walked at human pace towards my old closet and passed by a mirror on the way and gasped as I saw my reflection. I was human again. My brown eyes bore into me as I took in my old plain self. I quickly checked my wrist for a pulse and sure enough it was there.
I needed to find Edward. The last thing I remembered was the hunt and searing pain. Was it possible I traveled through time and was back on my first day? Or was my life all just a dream? No. It couldn't be a dream it was too real. There was only one way to find out what was going on. I needed to see Edward. I got dressed and did my old human routine headed downstairs.
My stomach rumbled as soon as I entered the kitchen. The last time that happened was a little less than seventeen years ago. I settled for a bowl of cereal and finished pretty quickly. I then headed off for school, again. "By dad" I called as I left the kitchen.
On my way to my truck I tripped and stumbled but managed to regain my balance. I forgot how clumsy I had been as a human. That was definitely something I didn't miss when I became immortal.
I had to drive cautiously because of my now fragile state not nearly as close to speed as a Cullen. When I arrived at the high school I parked in front of the first building with the sigh FRONT OFFICE, just as I did my first day. If this really was some weird time loop I had t play the part of it being my 'first day'.
The inside was brightly lit. I entered the tiny office and the secretary looked up. "Can I help you?" "I'm Isabella Swan" I informed her. I knew already my classes but I needed to have the schedule as a 'prop' as Edward would call it.
I went to my first class and gave the teacher Mr. Mason my slip and he introduced me to the class of course I blushed crimson at all the attention on me. My blush, another thing I definitely didn't miss when I was human but it was what Edward said he loved so much. It was probably the biggest thing he missed about my human days.
When class was over and the annoying bell rung I made a move to get up but was greeted by none other than Eric. "You're Isabella aren't you?" "Bella," I corrected him. I mentally rolled my eyes, this is the part where he offers to take me to my next class. "Where's your next class?" "Government, building 6" I responded. "I'm headed towards building four, I could show you the way.." he began but I stopped him and put on a fake smile, "It's okay, I think I can find my way around" I responded as sweetly as I could. He was way too over-helpful. "Oh ok" he said in a rather disappointed tone but quickly masked it with a half-smile as he said "Well, good luck" and walked off to his next class.
I went to all my old classes and had to re-introduce myself to several familiar faces, one belonging to the one and only Jessica Stanely who was in Trig and Spanish with me. I decided to have lunch with her just like I did on my actual first day.
I had a major sense of Déjà vu when I saw them. Just like they used to they sat in the corner furthest from me, all five of them. Jasper, Alice, Rose, Emmett and of course Edward. This was the point in time where Jessica took it upon herself to introduce them but I didn't listen I was to busy staring hoping that they'd recognize me somehow. "Edward" I whispered to myself. I mentally smacked myself when I realized he would have caught me saying that and his head snapped towards my direction and his eyes bore into mine. He was trying to read my mind. He didn't remember me. My love, my husband didn't recognize me. Tears stung my eyes as they threatened to spill. A look of confusion crossed his face when he realized I was blocking him. I had to turn away, I couldn't take him not remembering me.
I got up to excuse myself. I couldn't have a breakdown here in front of everyone, in front of him. "Excuse me" I managed to say as I got up to dump my plate of food. "Are you ok? You didn't touch your food" Angela said as she pointed to my full tray. Angela was always the observant one "Yeah, I'm just not hungry. First day jitters I guess." I croaked. I then left before anyone else questioned my sanity.
I dumped the untouched food and raced out of the cafeteria not before I tripped on air though, drawing some attention to myself. I left the cafeteria just as the tears started to flow freely.
