I said I would hopefully have the next chapter up today and somehow I managed it! Woo! Hope you enjoy it.

Homeroom consisted of nothing but the constant chatter of everyone catching up with each other. It was boring beyond words. I lay my head on my arms which were resting on the desk in front of me and tried to block out the annoying voiced of Jessica and Lauren, the school gossips. Lauren liked to think she was Queen Bee but most people just thought she was a slut. She has already dated quite a few jocks and currently had her eye on Mike and was currently telling Jess all about it. Urgh, high school drama. I rolled my eyes.

My phone vibrated from my pocket making me jump up in shock before sneaking it out.

Hey Bells, you have gym first lesson right?

I grimaced. I had a record of being clumsy and uncoordinated, which is true, but during summer Emmett had made sure that my balance during sports improved so now I didn't fall over...as much. This however didn't make it any better for me. I still hated this class. I double checked my timetable and read what I had first, Gym. Emmett was right.

From: Bella

Hey, yeah unfortunately. What a great way to start the first day back! Note: sarcasm.

I got the reply back less than a minute after I had sent it.

From: Emmett

I'll meet you in front of your locket. See ya in 5.

Wow. The time had actually gone pretty fast. I may have to get Emmett to text me everyday during homeroom.

As soon as the bell went, I shot up out of my seat, walked out of the door and went down the hall to where my locker was. We usually met here because mine was a lot easier to get to than Emmett's and he hardly ever needed to go to his. After a minute or so he joined me and we hurried to gym.

"Welcome back students. For the next few weeks we will be doing Volleyball and Basketball. So let's get you into groups. " Oh joy.

I was put into a group with Jessica and Lauren was on the opposite team. These girls had something against me. Lauren kept spiking the ball in my direction knowing that I wouldn't be able to return it and then once Jessica saw what Lauren was doing she 'accidently' hit me on the head when it was her turn to serve and she and I were on the same team!

Once the next team came on, our team went off and I went and sat in the bleachers. A few minutes later I was joined by a slightly sweaty Emmett.

"Hey Bells? How's it going?" I shot him a dirty look.

"That bad huh?" His booming laugh echoed around the gym making a few people look in our direction.

"It's okay squirt you'll get the hang of it and then will be whooping their asses." I smiled at his efforts but didn't believe him one bit.

"I highly doubt that"

We sat there for the rest of the lesson before changing and getting to next class.

The day remained pretty boring until we got to lunch. Emmett steered me to the lunch line and I grabbed a slice of pizza, an apple and some water. Emmett loaded his up with pretty much everything before leading me to the table. When we sat down, there were a couple of people already there including, to my dismay, Mike.

Just as I started eating my pizza, Lauren and Jessica came and sat down opposite me giving me a look of disgust.

"Hi guys...Bella." Lauren added to the end with a side glance to me. "Did you guys hear? The school is competing against a couple of other school's in the area. They say that our entire grade has to compete in at least one event."

"Event? What sort of competition is it?" She had obviously caught Mike's attention.

"A sporting competition." She purred. "Football, volleyball basketball, soccer blah blah blah..."

"When you say the entire grade do you mean..." I asked hesitantly before she cut me off.

"Yes Swan, the entire grade which includes you. Damn, we don't stand a chance if you're playing. If I were you, I'd see if there was any way to get out of this. I don't want the whole school suffering because you suck at everything." She sneered. The table quietened down and everyone looked at Lauren in disbelieve.

I was about to snap. My hands were balled into fists and I was ready to pounce at any point. Emmett put a comforting hand on my shoulder and I turned to look at his face. His face was calm however his eyes were burning with anger.

"Lauren?" She turned around surprised that Em was actually talking to her. A grin was placed onto her face.

"Who the heck do you think you are? Bella is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. So she may not be very stable when walking a flat surface and gym is not her strongest subject. That doesn't mean that she is not good enough to compete. If she tried, I'm sure she would outshine you easily." That wiped the smirk off her foundation covered face.

The table fell into a shocked silence before Lauren stormed out followed shortly by Jess. We all watched her until she was out of the room before returning to our lunches.

"Thanks Emmett." I smiled up at him returned it.

"Don't listen to that sleazy flirt Bella. You'll do fine." Ben, a quiet but really sweet guy said. The rest of the table agreed and then started talking about the tryouts...again.

Well there you go. I have already started the next chapter so I will update as soon as possible tomorrow. The new kids will turn up soon. XD Please Review and tell me what you think.
