Chapter 2
Mrs. Lynn, the nurse at Forks High School was very sweet and tender she is in her sixties, but still she's very beautiful. I had been her patient a couple of times. I guess that being accident prone like me one has the tendency to visit the nurse as a daily routine. The room was lit with a bright light, the smell of alcohol and medicine have always make me nauseous; that combine with the salty smell of blood -my blood- made me feel worse.
-"How are you feeling Bella?" Mrs. Lynn asked while checking my pulse.
Nauseated. -"I've been better" I said that just to get out of the clinic, I don't like being on the spotlight and having just looked at the door and seeing a group of students gathering outside the nurse's office made me feel even worse.
"You're pretty lucky Bella, considering the fact that you fell down a flight of stairs. The bleeding has stopped and your vitals are almost normal, but I have asked your father to take you to the doctor and check if you have any concussion just to be sure".
Oh no, Charlie will be mad at me, and my mom; she'll be furious. They hate going to the hospital and the medical bills! I'm sure they can't wait for me to start working to pay for them. "You've called my dad?"
"Yes, of course I called your parents Bella, it's standard procedure, and your father said he'll be here in a couple of minutes".
"Great" I can't wait to hear his lecture.
"Mrs. Lynn, can I go and wait for him outside the clinic? I don't want to take more of your time, I'm sure other students may need you more than I do"
"Oh Bella, you know you're always welcome, though I'll prefer you wouldn't come to visit me as a patient, you have to be more careful"
"I will Mrs. Lynn, thank you for your help" She helped me get off the gurney; I hadn't realized how sore I was until I stood up. I started wondering how I got to the clinic, who was that beautiful guy? My angel, I had to find out who he was, I have to thank him. "Mrs. Lynn, can you tell me who brought me to the clinic?"
You don't remember? I'm glad I asked your father to take you to the doctor and check that head of yours. Well, I don't know his name Bella, I think he's in your class. I'm not sure, it was the first time that I met him, and he looked worried. He seemed rather fond of you, I think he might be outside waiting for you. Why do you want to know?"
This is news, I don't remember having any good-looking guy as a friend, I wonder who could that be. "I want to thank him for carrying me all the way to the clinic, I'm glad he found me" As I finished my explanation I walk to the door. I am intrigued about the mysterious boy with beautiful eyes, I don't remember seeing him before, I wonder what his name is, I wonder if he's really in my class... maybe he's the new student everyone was talking about in school. They say his family comes from France; apparently his dad was transferred to work in Windsor Merging, a marketing consulting company, subsidiary in Forks. I can't imagine being transferred in the middle of the school year, he must be feeling as an outcast.
I decided to sit and wait for my parents outside of the clinic, I was starting to feel dizzy, maybe I do have a concussion after all. I look at my watch it was noon, I'm famished! I haven't eaten anything since I had breakfast, maybe I could get something from the vending machine. As I walk to the vending machine I have the feeling that someone is following me, I've never walked in the corridors during classes, I turn around and see no one following me, maybe I'm paranoid.
I get some cookies and a juice, mmmmmm this is great, I love apple juice. On my way to the clinic I gathered my bag and some things from my locker; I'll call Angela and ask her if we have homework. I continued walking, the feeling of being followed returned, and I start walking faster and faster. I turn around to check if someone is behind me, and I trip, before I reach the floor someone grabs me just in time and I scream, but his hand muffles any sound. My heart is pounding quickly, I can't make any sense of what just happened, as I try to look at the person that is holding me around my waist, I realized that he's the same guy that rescued me before. When I try to ask for his name, the voice of my dad echoes my name, I'm in more trouble now, being the Chief of Police he doesn't have time to waste, I have to hurry before he finds me.
The sneaky boy helps me gather my stuff and gives me a shy smile. "Thank you" is all I managed to say, and I start my way to the clinic wondering if I should be fond of or afraid of the mysterious boy.
