Chapter 2

BPOV

The disgusting truck has stuttered all the way to school, making everyone stare. At least I look hot today! Imagine if I had a stray hair! I pull into the front entrance and leave the truck outside the front door. If someone doesn't want it there they cancrush it or clamp it! To be honest I would thank them!

I walk into the reception checking my reflection in the glass mirrors as I go past. I flick my silky hair back and stride up to the desk. There's a podgy lady talking on the phone. It cant be that important. She doesn't look smart enough to add two and two let alone have an important phone conversation.

I clear my throat noisily. She glances up and places her hand over the mouthpiece of the phone.

"Um, can I help you? Only I'm slightly bu-"

"Ok this is more important than calling your mother so put down the phone." She raises her thick eyebrows. Seriously has she never heard of plucking?!

"Actually I was on the phone to a governor." She sounds a bit annoyed to be honest. Oh well. I take the phone out of her hands and drop it.

"Yeah, whatever. They can wait. I'm Bella Swan. You know talk of the town, new girl in Forks and all of that." I raised my eyebrows expectantly.

"Ah, yes Charlie's girl, right?" Ugh I will throw up if anyone else says that!

"Yeah, yeah well do you have a timetable for me or what, Miss?"

"Uh it's Mrs actually, Mrs Cope."

"Yeah, whatever Miss. So do you have a timetable or what? Only I need to go introduce myself to everyone." Did she not know how important it was to announce who you were before a dorky teacher tried to do it for you and tells everyone to be nice? Come on!

"Ah yes, here you go. Your first lesson is in-"

"Yeah, yeah I can work it out okay Miss? Oh and by the way…that shirt is gross!"

And with that I stroll out of the room. What a woman! Seriously she has NO fashion sense! At all!

I look at my timetable and find my first lesson. Calculus. Great. Let's just say I'm not the most academic person.

I walk out into the parking lot and look around. Ok this sucks! They are actually all dweebs! I don't actually think there is a single bicep in this place. Apart from that girl over there who's trying to lift a van. Weirdo.

I guess I'll have to make do. I walk up to the hottest guy in the lot. He wasn't much but hey he was the best there was.

"Um, excuse me?" I use that high, simpering voice that guys just seem to love. He looks up and his eyes widen a bit. Well what can I say. I beat all the girls in this lot by a mile!

"Hi!" His voice squeaks a little in a kind of weird way. I guess he's in shock. These jeans are pretty tight!

"Hi, I'm Bella! I'm new here! I was wondering if you knew where my first class was?" A little flutter of the eyelashes…

"Um, sure!" He seems to have recovered a bit! " Let me just see your timetable…" I move to his side and hold the timetable out in front of him. I squeeze up close and lean over his shoulder. I can see his hand shaking on the paper. It's hilarious.

"Oh you're in the same class as me! " He sounds absolutely delighted! This is so easy. Mind you with the way the girl's round here look he cant get many dates! "I'm Mike by the way, Mike Newton."

We start walking and he tries some small talk.

"So, uh, you moved from Arizona right?"

"Yeah Arizona. I lived in Pheonix. How about you, have you always lived in Forks?" Surely he must be dying of boredom if he has!

"Yeah my family's been here for generations! I was born here and I've never left here."

"What like not even on vacation? You've never left Forks? Aren't oyu sick of being trapped in this tiny town with nothing to do?" How can he not have been on a vacation? I go every time school ends. Or I did with my mom. I guess it'll be different with Charlie. He's like poor! Seriously my bedroom is miniscule!

"Nope I've never been on vacation. Don't get me wrong I've been to Seattle and Tacoma but thats the furthest I've ever been. My folks dont have much money." Yeah judging by the crappy little car he was standing by thats true enough! It was worse than the truck of horror!

We arrive at a tiny building and head inside. Its very small and smells slightly of moss or something gross like that. I hang up my leather jacket outside the classroom and head in.

There's a balding old teacher standing at the front of the class behind a little wooden desk. He looks up as I walk in and widens his eyes slightly. Its quite amusing. I flash a quick smile at Mike and head over to him. I lean my hands on the desk.

"Hi I'm Bella, Bella Swan. I'm new here!" I flick my hair over my shoulder as his eyes light up in recognition. I love the way everyone round here knows who I am!

"Yes. Right. I'm Mr Varner. I'm your calculus teacher." No duh! "Here's your textbooks. Please sit over there next to Miss Stanley." He grumpily indicates an empty desk. I glide over to the desk and sit next to a reasonable looking girl. Obviously nothing compared to me but hey. She was probably one of the prettiest girls in the school. Not that that was hard!

I dump my stuff next to her and swing into my seat. She's a tiny girl with curly hair and pretty eyes. She will be about the best I can get in this place so I reckon she'll be an ideal candidate for my first friend.

"Hi there. I'm Bella, Bella Swan. I just moved here from Pheonix!"

"Hi I'm Jessica. I've heard sooooo much about you. My mum knows your Dad quite well! They've been talking about it for ages. Your Dad seems so thrilled to..." I let her babble on pretending to be interested. She has to be one of the most boring people on the planet! I suddenly realise she's stopped talking so I ask one of my most vital questions.

"So is there a Varsity Cheerleading Squad or what?" Please, please, please

"Oh yeah we have a team! I'm on it! I'm a flyer! So do you do cheerleading then?" Thank God!

"Yeah I've done it since I was 4 as well as tumbling. I was national champion for both when I was 14! So can I try out do you reckon?" Her eyes are like huge dinner plates.

"You were a national champion??!!!" she squeaks. Ouch I think she might have just broken my ear drums!

"Uhuh" I say nonchalantly. It seems to impress everyone! "And I've competed at World Championships 6 times."

"Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod we have to tell Miss Racknell! She will flip!!!"

"AND SO WILL I MISS STANLEY IF YOU DO NOT PIPE DOWN THIS INSTANT!!" Mr Varner is red in the face yelling at her. I smirk. As soon as he turns around I turn back to Jessica.

"He's a bundle of fun isnt he? So shall we see this Miss Racknell at Lunchbreak?" I'm whispering just in case.

"Yes yes yes yes yes!!!!! She will be so excited!! Our team might actually win something!" By the end of the sentence her whisper has turned into a squeak again. She'll have to be careful or...

"MISS STANLEY!!!!!"

A/N Hope you enjoyed that chapter! It shows a bit more of bitchy bella! Next chapter will be at the cheerleading tryouts!
