I woke up this morning to the pouring rain, and honestly it started to give me a headache. I took some Advil in our small little bathroom that we shared, and then took my morning shower. Once I was out I realized that it was only six in the morning so I decided to make breakfast for dad and me, but he wasn't there. I was confused until I walked into the kitchen and saw a piece of white lined paper sitting there. I walked over and picked it up, and it read; Isabella, I think I am going to start calling you Bella. Anyways, I had to leave for work at five thirty this morning, so I didn't get a chance to see you at all this morning. If you want there is cereal in the cabinet. Have fun at school today. – Charlie
Wow. Um okay then. I got some cereal and sucked it down. I ran upstairs to brush my teeth and try to get through the haystack called my hair. Once I just decided to put it up into a ponytail I saw that it was six thirty and I needed to start walking to the high school. I had butterflies in my stomach and I was fighting with myself to just walk out the door. I took a good few deep breaths and walked out into the windy morning. It only took me about fifteen minutes to get to the high school and I was rather surprised by that. I looked at the school and it was no bigger than my middle school down in Phoenix. Now I know that I won't get lost that much in this school.
I walked up to the main office building and was suddenly hit with a burst of warm air, and how thankful I was. The room was rather small, and then to make it even smaller I saw there was a counter cutting the room in half. I walked over to the counter and saw a red-headed lady looking at the computer screen. I cleared my throat so then she would know that I was here and so then I could actually speak. She looked up from her computer and saw me standing there, shivering, and smiled.
"How can I help you? I am Ms. Cope." She said this in a business tone and I just looked at her. She raised her left eyebrow and then I knew that I was getting on her nerves.
"Um. H…Hi. My na…me is Isa…bella Swan. I am new here." Damn it Bella, now you have done it. She probably thinks your "special". Great going.
"Oh. Well hello dear. We have been excepting you. Here is your schedule and you need to get this signed by all the teachers and bring it back in the afternoon. Oh. I almost forgot, here is a map seeing that you are new, you will love this map for all of today." She smiled and handed me the papers that I needed and I smiled back at her although it was a little cheesy. "Have a good first day." I ran out of the room after that and sat on a bench outside. Thankfully it wasn't raining, but the gray clouds above threatened to let rain down.
I looked down at my watch and realized I only had about fifteen minutes till I had to get to my first class. I went to look at my schedule and then look at the map. "Trig, Trig, Room 204, Building 3." I muttered this to myself and went to the map and found it instantly. I know that I didn't want to be looking at the map all day so I just ran to my first class and waited outside. I looked at which direction I should go from here to get to second period. I sighed when I had to go back the way I came from and go to building six which is right next to this building. The warning bell rang and I was thankful. I walked in my first class and sat down in the back, in the dark corner, maybe no one would notice me if I sat here. DAMN IT! I have to get that paper signed from the teacher. I walked up to the teacher with my stuff just in case that seat was taken.
"Um. Excuse me?" He looked up at me and then realized that he didn't recognize me, so I continued, "I'm Isabella Swan, I'm new. I need to know where my seat will be. Oh. You also have to sign this so then I can bring it back to the office by the end of the day." I prayed that I got the corner seat in the back and he wouldn't introduce me, I already hate math, so he couldn't make this worse.
"Hello Isabella. I am Mr. Gray; your seat is right here in front, and um. Oh yeah. I am going to introduce you to the class once I sign this." He snatched the piece of paper out of my hand and signed it. Great, up front AND introductions. This is wonderful. I rolled my eyes before he handed me the paper back to me. I sighed and turned so then the class could see the plain boring face that was going to be here for the rest of high school. "Excuse me class." He paused and no one looked at him. He simply grabbed a ruler off of his desk and slammed it, and he mouthed "Sorry about that". I simply smiled and the class responded to the ruler. "We have a new student in our class. Her name is Isabella Swan, and you will not be pressuring her into doing anything." He emphasizes the not in his sentence and I look at him glare at a strawberry blonde sitting in the seat behind what I assume is mine. I blush and shyly walk over to my desk, trying to get the attention off of me.
I can feel their eyes burning into my back, and I am so ready for the bell to ring. Mr. Gray starts class and puts s projector up for us to copy notes, I copied them down, but I already know all of this so after I just doodle in my notebook. About fifteen minutes later the bell rings and I am the first one to dart out of the classroom. "Isabella!" someone is screaming my name and I turn to see the strawberry blonde running towards me. I had to bit my lip to keep myself from laughing at the way she runs. It's like a duck quack quack. She walks up to me with desperation in her eyes. I just bit my lip harder. "My name is Jessica Stanley and Trig is so annoying. I would like you to be my friend."
"Um. Sure Jessica, I guess that I need friends anyways." I chuckle, but it's a nervous chuckle that most people see through, she however, didn't. "Well Jessica I have to go to," Think Bella, Think! Oh. Got it. "History in Building six. Sorry, bye." I waved at her and ran so then I wouldn't have to have another conversation with her.
The rest of my classes in the morning went like with running to the back, remembering the slip, getting introduced, and running out the door with some student screaming my name. I rolled my eyes at the commonness. I wish that I didn't have to be here. There is nothing here anyways. I walked into the lunch room with Jessica and then just sat with her. She looked upset that I wouldn't talk. I don't want to talk! Can't I just eat and pretend that I am not new? I really wish you were a dog and I could shoo you away. You, Jessica Stanley, are SO annoying. I sighed and answered her questions with not a lot of details and just stared at my food. I swear that there was a guy rubbing my back, but that eventually just faded when I looked at the kid sitting next to me. Great Mike Newton the annoying guy from my English Class. I hate this kid, he is just too hopeful. I want you to just run while I give you a death glare. "Why are you touching me Mike? I don't really appreciate this you know?" I sighed this all out just in time for him to realize that I was getting annoyed.
"Sorry Bella. I thought that that would calm you down. You seem tense. I can't help but try to comfort-" I cut him off.
"Well please don't do that again. I really don't like certain people touching me. I am not interested in you anyways, so will you just back off and try to not touch me again?" I gave him an innocent smile and he smiled back. That is just sickening. I looked back at my food and heard him move out his chair and walk away. Thank you! Jessica just started starring at me like I was insane. "What Jessica? I really am not interested in him, I think you are though. You should go for it." She looked at me puzzled. "Are you okay Jessica?"
"Sorry. Yea I am fine, and how could you tell that I like him?" She really had no idea that I could sense this on people, so that is good.
"Well, I saw you getting kind of angry when Mike was trying to comfort me, and I just realized it." I spat the word comfort out of my mouth like it was the worse word ever. "And instead of making me comfortable, he made me rather uncomfortable, and he looked way too hopeful whenever he looked at me." I looked out the window and saw two couples and a boy, well more like a man, walking towards the cafeteria. "Hey Jess? Who are they?"
She looked out the window and saw who I was talking about and I gave her a puzzled look. "Those are the Cullen's. Doctor Cullen's foster children since his wife can't have children from what I heard. They moved here from Alaska or something. The first couple is Roselie and Emmett. They are like together, together. And the next couple is Alice and Jasper, and Jasper always looks in pain." I just stared at the four people in wonder. Then the boy that I had been looking at before walked in. "Oh. That's Edward. Don't even try going for him. Apparently the girls in this school aren't good enough for him." I swear that I saw him smiling as Jess said the last sentence.
"Oh. Okay. I just wanted to know seeing that they entered the cafeteria last today." And Edward looks extremely cute. I wonder why Jess is so stubborn about Edward Cullen. I looked back at her to hear her giggling. Apparently I was missing something. "What Jess? Sorry I was zoning out." This just extended her giggling I guess because now it was turned to full blown laughter with her trying to sit up right.
"Ed…ward is looking…at you!" I hissed at Jess and she just stopped laughing right after it came through my teeth. "What? Can't I have a laugh Bella?"
"You are so funny. HAHA. Now let's get on with our lives shall we?" I looked over to the table that the mysterious five sat down at and looked at each one. Jasper looked happy now, but before he looked in pain, and the girl sitting on his lap, Alice I believe, looked like she was having a blast over there. Emmett just kept starring at his girlfriend Roselie. Roselie was just starring back at him, and I kind of felt self-conscious about my looks looking at the blonde. I shuddered and saved Edward for my last look. He is so gorgeous! Stop Bella, he won't think about you like that and you know it, don't get your hopes up. He just smiled a crooked smile when I looked at him and I thought that he somehow heard me, but I am crazy right? I looked back at my table, blushing and then saw Jessica yet again laughing her head off. "What? I can stare can't I? Ha ha. Okay so maybe I should stop before I get too caught up." I picked at my apple that I had on my tray and then a minute or two later the bell rang. Thank you! Now I can get away from the raving Jessica. Maybe I shouldn't be friends with her. Oh who knows. Right now she is the only friend that I have, so I have to keep her.
My next class was Biology with a Mr. Banner? Yes, that is his name. Anyways, as I was walking to the class, I saw someone that was there before me. I couldn't tell who it was from a distance. Please not Mike, I almost hit him in lunch, NOT MIKE NEWTON! I walked slowly up to the door and looked to my left as to who was standing there leaning against the wall and saw the handsome Edward. Oh god. He is in my class. I hope that he sits on the other side of the room so then I don't have to be distracted by his presence. I swear if he even manipulates my grades it will be his head. I walked into the classroom to find Mr. Banner and found him instantly. I gave him the same introduction that I gave to the other teachers and sat down in the seat that he was pointing at. Then Edward walked in and took his seat. Shoot. He is sitting right next to me, just my luck! And look at the girls starring at me, they are just starring at me with envious eyes. Can someone just let me run out of this classroom? I better not have an introduction to this class. Then I felt paper hit my elbow and I looked at him with a puzzling look and he just smiled. I pictured him in my mind, the unique bronze hair, the pale skin, and the perfect teeth when he smiles at me. What is there not to like? I sighed and looked down at the note that he wrote and was surprised that his writing was neater than mine.
Hello. My name is Edward Cullen. I saw you today at lunch. Where are you from?
Yea I noticed that you were starring at me, or actually the girl that was sitting next to me said that you were. I am from Phoenix. What did you do to Jess to make her hate you so much? I heard him sigh before he replied.
She asked me out on a date and I wasn't interested in her at all. I see that all the girls are starring at you enviously because you get to sit next to me. Don't worry, they are just jealous! So what are you doing here in this boring town of Forks?
Ha ha, thanks for telling me that. Well I kind of had a choice, but it was to either live with my father here in Forks, or move to Florida with my mother and her new husband. I really don't like talking about my mother…at least not at this moment. Why do you live here? I am totally into him talking to me, I mean seriously, who wouldn't. I know who, Jess. Ha ha.
I moved here with my father and mother since my dad got a job at this hospital, most people are totally thankful that he came seeing that he is a very good doctor. I am surprised that you even asked that. This is honestly the longest conversation that I have had with anyone since I moved here to this school. I usually just talk to my siblings.
So I am the only real person you talked to in how many years? Ha. You know my name right? Seeing as you just started a conversation with me.
Silly Bella, everyone here knows your name.
Just then Mr. Banner started class and I was thankful. The entire time that we were writing notes from the board my mind just kept wandering to him. Gosh this is going to be one long class. I sighed and just looked at the board. Once I looked at Edward to find him already done with his notes and looking at me with curiosity, or lust? I couldn't tell, but I just looked at the board again to copy the rest of the notes down. The bell rang right after I got the last sentence down and rubbed my aching wrist. I sighed and was thankful to get out of this class. I ran away from the classroom and was thankful for not tripping while on the way to my last class, GYM. The one class that I am horrible at, everyone will learn quickly to not try to run in front of me. Haha. They will learn about my klutz self soon enough. Then I heard the voice that I was dreading.
"Wait up Bella! I want to talk to you about something." Can't this guy get things straight in his mind? I DON'T LIKE YOU! ARG!
"What do you want Mike? You know how I feel." He sighed while trying to think about something to say.
"I was kind of wondering if you only said that because you were angry about me touching you. I re-" WHAT THE HELL?! All I want is peace and quiet from you and you give me the opposite.
"Mike, LISTEN TO ME! I DO NOT LIKE YOU, IN FACT, I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER LIKE YOU LIKE THAT. CAN YOU JUST TAKE YOUR LITTLE BODY AND MOVE SO THEN I WON'T BE LATE TO MY FIRST DAY OF GYM? I AM REALLY NOT IN THE MOOD TO HEAR YOU ASK ME OUT OR BEG FOR FORGIVNESS. JUST MOVE!" As I was saying this I regretted every word and knew I would see Jess after school and she would be pretty mad, but right now I just want him out of my sight. He just looked at me confused. I let out a frustrated sigh, "Look Mike, you are just not my type. Now please move so then I can get to my class. I really don't want to be late."
"Oh. Okay. I will not give up though. You will have to deal with me until you say yes." He gave me an evil smile and walked to the side of the door to let me in. "See you in class my dear."
"Mike, just shut up and get in the gym!" That was someone whose voice I didn't recognize and was thankful because he just obeyed. I smiled and the rest of my school day was great.
