Biology

I was sitting in Biology leaning against the hard marble lab desk. The chair beside me sat empty. No one to fill the hard round seat. I was the only one without a lab partner. Mr. Molina said I was a bright, smart youngster and it would not affect my grades if I did not have a partner. Then again he was right, I've been at this for nearly one hundred years.

I was studying the diagram of flatworms on the board when a sweet yet sickening fume filled the air. Bella had just walked into biology, oh great look at that, I am the only person without a lab partner. Soon enough a delicious, probably tasty human was going to fill the seat beside me. She will not affect my grades, but she could affect my way of life. Not just my way but my family too.

"Hello" she whispered quietly. Her voice was so soft and comforting.

Bella gave her hair a light, but strong enough fluff that I needed to cover my nose. It almost made me laugh when she started sniffing herself because she thought I thought she smelled bad. It was humorous.

Three... two...one, a loud ring filled the room. I grabbed my books incredibly fast and practically ran out of the room. I think I scared her a bit. I was trying to figure out what she must be thinking of me, but nothing. She was a blank, a bad apple, the type of acorn a squirrel would throw away. I got very frustrated. Alice saw me trying to figure it out. She came to calm me down but I pushed her away, a little too rudely. I planned a dramatic scene of me apologizing to her. Giving her time she will see it then tell me not to apologize.

I was right on a rude streak. I stormed into the office and raised my voice a little too high at the secretary. I couldn't switch classes everything else was full. Bella was standing there... for a moment the idea popped into my head that she was stalking me.

I pushed the office door open with my chest and barged down the hallway. I had to get out of here. Out of this state. Not forever just for awhile. I don't know where I'm going to go, Alaska, maybe Volterra. Maybe by the time I get back she will have forgotten me. Ya right what am I thinking I can tell, she's not forgetful, but very stubborn.

"Goodbye Forks, goodbye Bella, for now" I whispered to nothing in particular.
