The boys first day at school. Also the day when the meet the Swan sisters. Will that very day change everything in their lives?
Edward
"Edward get up, we have 20 minutes to get to school!" I could hear Emmet's voice from behind my door. I didn't realise it was that late until now. I didn't eve realise I fell asleep. I lay there, in my bed, looking at the room and thinking. Thinking how life would change and what would happen if Emmet was right. If I finally had a girlfriend? Just lying there made me tired, but I couldn't fall asleep as much as I wanted to, I think I have the room memorized, every little inch, every small detail about it. Slowly, I pulled back the covers and got up. The sunlight going through the windows hit my skin, I was warm suddenly and felt like I could stand right in this spot forever, just enjoying the warmth.
"Edward! I can hear you're up! Now get out of the room. We're waiting in the car." I could hear Emmet's impatient voice from behind the door. A minute later his footsteps going down the stairs. I quickly got dressed, putting on a pair of jeans, a grey t-shirt and black hoodie. I didn't bother to do anything with my hair, I knew that even if I brushed it, it would look messy later. I opened the door and ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. I grabbed a sandwich from the table, Esmee must have made them when I was still asleep.
"Thanks mum!" I shouted over my shoulder as I made my way to the garage. "It's ok, good luck" I could hear her voice, distant now.
"Im here we can go" I said as I slid into the backseat of our car, Audi R8. It was a birthday present, the only bad thing was that we had to share it between the 3 of us… for now. "Finally. What are you? A girl? Spending so much time getting ready?" Emmet said as he started up the car. Of course he couldn't let the morning start without making any snaky comments. Jasper was sitting in the front seat, dressed similar to me. He was always quiet but I could just tell he was trying to stop himself from laughing. Unsuccessfully.
Forks was a small town. So 5 minutes later we were standing in the Forks High parking lot. "So where to now?" Jasper asked. " The admission building I guess?" I replied with just a small bit of doubt in my voice.
"Come on then. The classes will start soon" Emmet said and started walking towards a big set of glass doors. We had to jog to catch up with him. When we walked in, the smell of a carpet. Disgusting. I looked around myself, the place didn't looks that bad. Just a bit old styled. I wondered where we were meant to go now for our timetable, because the desk was empty. Just as I was thinking that, an old, kind looking women walked in.
"Oh hello there, may I help you?" She said in a motherly voice, smiling at us all the time. I decided I better speak before Emmet had a chance to say anything stupid.
"Yes, we are new here, the Cullen?" I said and smiled back at her, I thought it was only polite to do as. She looked through some files before saying "Ah! Yes, here we are. Jasper, Emmet and Edward yes? Your first class starts in 10 minutes, here our your timetables. Hope you have a good day" She said it with the tone of voice that suggested it was time for us to go and leave her be. And so we did.
" What do you have first?" I asked both of them.
"P.E." Emmet replied. Of course he was going to choose P.E.
"Biology" Jasper replied making a face. "So do I. I will see you later Emmet bye" and walked off with Jasper trailing behind me like a ghost. So where to now? I wondered. The school looked massive, I didn't know how on Earth was I going to find the right room when I ran into someone.
"Oh sorry" I said, and reached out to help the person. It was a girl. She had dark brown hair, she had a pixie haircut. Her eyes were golden, her looked really pale and delicate, like a lily petal. She smiled at me and said "It's ok. Hey are you new here? My name is Alice" The words rushed out of her mouth. I could tell straight away that she was someone really energetic and optimistic.
"Yeah we are, I am Edward and this is Jasper. It's our first day and we're kind of lost" I said and automatically started blushing. How idiotic did it sound? Oh yeah hi we are lost in a school? But she didn't seem to think so. "What have you got?" She asked, but before I could open my mouth to reply, she took the timetable from Jasper's hands and read out loud our schedule.
"Ohh I have biology as well, in the same room! Come on then, fallow me!" She said and went down the hallway. When she walked, she looked a bit like little red riding hood, the only thing she needed was a basket and a big bad wolf jumping out from the corner.
"Wow she's well pretty" said Jasper quietly and started walking. I didn't really want to be late, or alone standing here like a loner so I fallowed as well.
We went down a hallway and took a few turns. It felt like we were in a maze, I will never remember the way around. Finally, we got to a door that said 'biology, room 33 Mr Norman' suddenly I didn't want to go in. I just wanted to go back home and hide, hide for the rest of the school year.
"you ok?" Alice asked with a slight frown on her pretty face. "I'm fine, let's go" I said and reached for the door before I could change my mind and run away.
As I opened the door and made the first step in into the classroom, all the cheerful chatter stopped and everyone seemed to look at me like I was some kind of a freak, an alien.
"Hello, may I help you?" asked a middle aged man with short greying hair. I suppose this was Mr Norman? But again, before I could open my mouth to explain, Alice skipped into the room cheerful as ever and said "Hello Mr Norman, this is Jasper and Edward Cullen, they are new here" I just stood there, nodding and I could feel Jasper behind me doing the same thing.
"All right then, well, welcome to Biology then, I am Mr Norman we were just talking about how caffeine can affect us. Edward, please could you sit next to Isabella Swan and Jasper, please sit next to Alice" He smiled and motioned for us to take our seats. I had no idea where Isabella was until Alice pointed at her and gave me an encouraging smile. She was beautiful. He skin was as pale as Alice's was, her long, dark brown wavy hair fell lightly to her shoulders and her eyes. The same eyes Alice had. They were a light shade of gold, these eyes suggested that they didn't miss a thing. I slowly slid into the lab stool next to her and dared a sideways glance at her. She smelled of strawberries and… was in coconut? Maybe.
"Hey, im Edward" I looked at her and smiled. She seemed… scared. But why? Was I really that bad looking? But after a minute she replied
"Hi, im Bella" Her voice was the most beautiful thing of all, it was so gentle.
"So! Are we ready to start now? Open your books on page 99 and read through the text, after you have read it answer the 12 questions in pairs. You have 30 minutes. GO!" Mr Normans voice boomed across the classroom before I could say anything else to her. Maybe for the better? In case I say anything stupid? So I focused on my work. The time flew past really fast, before I knew it the time was up, the bell rand and Bella ran out o the classroom. I wondered if she was on the running team, or maybe she just didn't want to be anywhere near me. Great. Just as I was packing my books back to my bag, Alice came over with Jasper at her feet.
"Hey there. Ho was working with Bella? Yeah I know she's a bit off but she's awesome when you get to know her." And again, Alice surprised me with all her cheerful chatter, her words rushing out.
"Yeah, it was ok." I said, with no real emotion in my voice.
"So, you guys doing anything at break? Because if you haven't got any plans you can spend the break with me, Bella and Rosalie. She's my third sister, tell your brother Emmet to join as well. See you around!" she shouted over her shoulder and rushed out to her next class. "Guess we're spending the break with them. Text Emmet about it" I said, not sure whether just to myself or to Jasper. But before I could dwell on that more, I went to my second class. Spanish.
Great.
