A: N- So… People are wondering who the mysterious note leaver is… and sadly I cannot tell any of you for a few more chapters. Sorry if you all hate me now. One of you were right though and I really want to tell you who it was but then I know you all will go into the reviews and read their review and find out who it is and I just can't have that happening. So anyway, here is chapter 2.
Chapter 2
"Take this time to realize
That you always force a smile
In the midst of trial
And everything is always right
And I think that it's time
This battle must be won
But you pushed it aside
Pushed it aside
Pretend that it's gone…"
~Circles- Paramore~
The parking lot was empty except for one other parking spot taken up by the annoying girls red truck. Gosh, darn it. SERIOUSLY! What did I do to piss the fates off?! She smiled at me as I passed her on my way to the office. I hesitantly smiled back, thinking what the hell; do I have a stalker now? The receptionist looked up from her papers when we walked into the office. I held the door open for the annoying girl. Must-be-gentleman-even-if-it-kills. See, now mom would be proud… I have not thrown her across the room yet. I winced, that would be a good start of school wouldn't it? The receptionist raised an eyebrow at us as the annoying girl shifted on her feet. "How may I help you?" She asked kindly. When it looked like the annoying girl was not going to say anything I took it upon myself.
"Hi." I smiled at her, the smile that I had perfected and made me look so cute (all according to Wyatt) but could get me anything. She smiled back attentively. "I'm Chris Halliwell and this is…" I trailed off giving the annoying girl a look of prompting.
"Bella Swan." She muttered glaring at me slightly. Probably for forgetting her name, three times in a row. Well, I never understood the need to remember names of the people who I pray never to see again.
"…Bella Swan." I finished repeating what she had just said. "We're here to pick up our schedules or paper work or whatever it is we need to pick up." The woman's eyes sparkled. More gossip… oh the ladies at the salon will love this. Oh and he's just a charmer. He reminds me a bit of Dr. Cullen's son, Edward I think. Yes, very much like him, very chivalrous. I tore myself from her thoughts shaking my head with a small amount of anger. I hate being gossip.
"Of course!" She said in cheer. I resisted the urge to glare at her back as she turned away from us and scurried around the office. She returned not a few minutes later with two clipboards. "Here you go. Just fill these out right over there." She advised us with a smile. I had to force a smile back (which looked more like a cringe) before taking mine from her hands and walking over to the office waiting seats. I took the pen from the top and began filling out the questions.
23. What do you want to do once you leave Forks High School? What the hell? Why the hell should that matter to the administration? I shook my head in frustration as the questions became more personal.
32. Who should we address any school letters to? My ass; didn't Grandpa already fill all this crap out? I glared at the paper, willing it to incinerate… sadly that was not my power. Darn.
I sighed once I was finished and stood up from the seat. I walked over to the receptionist's desk, placing the clipboard there. She smiled before handing me a map and highlighting the best routes to get to all of my classes. I thanked her and grabbed my bag up from the floor, leaving in a hurry. I really hate this school.
"You're the new kid right?" I jumped at the sound of the honey suckle voice to my left. I glanced over my shoulder, stopping in my walk into the school. A girl with short pixie cut black hair danced (and I mean literally danced) over to my side. I glanced around the area I was in. "You silly." She said with a laugh. I swallowed before nodding hesitantly.
"Yeah." I said slowly. She seemed like a very perky person. She smiled at me… she had perfect teeth too… they must have some really good dentists here.
"I'm Alice."
I looked at her strangely. "Chris." She laughed.
"No need to look so scared Chris, I don't bite." Not humans at least. Her thoughts hummed. I hid that thought away for later.
"I'm just not used to meeting people." I said calmly, finally regaining my composure. She smiled again.
"Do you need any help getting to your classes?" She asked not even bothering to listen for my answer as she grabbed my schedule out of my hands.
"Um…"
She looked very happy at the first class. "Great!" She exclaimed.
I swallowed before taking back my schedule when she handed it to me. "What's so great?"
"We have our first few classes together. Then you have Trig with Rosalie and Government with Jasper. Then we have the same lunch period, I don't think they'll mind if you sit with us. You have Biology with Edward after lunch and gym with me and Edward after that!" She rambled.
"Who's-" I began.
"Oh! Rosalie is my sister and Jasper's my hus- boyfriend." I filled away her hus- in my head for later.
"And Edward…" I prompted her to continue, raising an eyebrow.
"He's my brother too!" She skipped away causing a few people around us to stare. "Well come on slow poke! We don't want to be late!" A few people looked at me shocked as I scrambled to pick up my bag and throw my book and schedule in it. Best not to keep her waiting.
Edward stared in surprise and awe as Alice jumped away from his silver Volvo (even if I don't know cars it's been mentioned enough what kind of car he has) and towards some kid who none of them recognized. "What is she doing?" Rosalie voiced their thoughts for them all. Jasper poked his blonde head out from inside the car, his eyes following his wife the whole time.
"That's one of the new kids." He filled in for them.
"Like we couldn't figure that one out on our own." Emmett rolled his eyes from his spot near the door. "Why's she talking to him though?" Edward shrugged as his eyes followed his "sister" and the new kid. He looked a little freaked at the way she was acting but followed her anyway. He had light brunette locks that fell across his face in a layered cut. He could not see the boy's eyes.
"You know, don't you?" Rosalie asked giving Jasper a hard glare. He smiled back at her.
"Even if I did I wouldn't tell you. You two are a bunch of party poopers." They could tell the good mood of the students was affecting him. He smirked at her before popping out of the car and closing the door with a small slam. Edward glared at him with malice. Alice would have my head if I told them.
-Chris' Point of View-
My first class was English, which was not that bad, but was definitely not my favorite. The teacher made me stand up in front of the class and introduce myself to everyone. What the hell was I supposed to say? Hi, I am Chris Halliwell, I have two people living in my head and I am a witch. A real witch with real powers, you see that book over there? Yeah that one. I could cause it to fly across this room with a flick of my hand, want to see? Alice smiled at me from the third row through out my whole forced out "Hi, I'm Chris Halliwell." That is all I said, and the teacher looked pretty put out before handing me a syllabus and telling me to take a seat behind, who but Alice.
"You did good." She whispered as I passed her. I snorted with slight laughter at the thought. As much as I hated to say it she was becoming likable.
Next class was Latin. The teacher I loved, she was very kind, never forcing me to talk in front of the class. She was ecstatic, however, when I defined some Latin word correctly. She then started rambling off a whole bunch of words asking me to define them, it was not hard, but it was embarrassing. To make it worse annoying girl was in my class, staring at me with wide eyes throughout the whole episode. Must-not-strangle-anyone-who-stares-must-not-become-Wyatt. I forced myself into thinking.
The next class was trigonometry, which I hate with every fiber of my two beings. The teacher dismissed me with a wave of their hand and told me to sit in the back next to a blonde girl who could easily be mistaken for a model. She had her notebook open, but was writing nothing. She seemed to have the air of I-am-better-then-you surrounding her. I shook my head in exasperation at the girl. She turned her gaze onto me. Her eyes were a light honey, and somehow reminded me of Alice. I dropped my bag by my chair before falling not so delicately into it. "Hey." A voice whispered to my left, the blonde was sitting on my right. My eyes fell onto a boy leaning across his desk next to me. I raised an eyebrow.
"I'm Kevin." They said, "Kevin" had light brown hair and brown eyes. I nodded before glancing back at my notebook. My "neighbor" was tense; I could tell she was listening in on our "conversation"
"Mhmm." I muttered looking up to the front of the class, feigning attention. A piece of paper hit me in the shoulder. I looked back at the boy.
"I was talking to you." He said as if he was the best person in the world.
I rolled my eyes. "I couldn't tell." I whispered back, turning my gaze back to the board. Another piece of paper hit my shoulder. I suppressed a glare as I looked at him.
"What did you do to get one of the Cullens to talk to you?" He asked.
The girl beside me tensed, if possible, even more. "Jealous?"
He snorted. "Hell yeah. You going to make a move?" Was this guy for real?
"Why? You want in?" The girl beside me growled slightly.
He smiled. "You bet."
My gaze turned hard. "Pervert. Just because I talk to her doesn't mean I want to jump in the sack."
He looked shocked. "Why you little-"
"Is there a problem Kevin?" The teacher asked him, raising a grey eyebrow in her general vicinity. Kevin shook his head embarrassed, shooting me a glare. The girl next me sent me a thankful look before going back to her notebook. If only I knew why she was thankful.
The end of class took too long. I had doodled excessively, a nasty looking demon. The one that had attacked a while ago, the reason why I was here. This reminded me that I had to call Wyatt and dad. I stared at my desk for a while before standing up and shoving my notebook into my bag a little too hard. The girl was standing outside the class shifting anxiously from one foot to another. Her eyes snapped to mine. "Thanks." She said as if it hurt her to talk to me.
"For what?" I asked her fixing the strap on my bag. She shifted her gaze to the room next to ours.
"Telling Kevin to shove it. You stood up for my sister when you have only just met her. It's really nice." She muttered. I cannot believe I am doing this. I heard her thoughts echo. Wait so she was Rosalie?
"Are you Rosalie?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. She nodded.
"And you are?"
"Chris." I said with a small smile. "You are nothing like Alice." I pointed out. She laughed.
"Surprised you noticed." She checked her watch. "See you tomorrow."
I smirked. "Yeah, tomorrow." She then left me standing in the hallway for a minute before I realized I had to get to my next class quick or else I was screwed. It would not do to be late on the first day.
Government/History sucks. Worst class ever. Not only is annoying girl in it but the teacher… talk about being a royal asshole. In addition, he smelt… of bad aftershave. I had too keep my magic under control throughout the whole class. It is not a good sign when I have to do that. Not to mention that the person I was sitting next to (who looked a bit like Rosalie I might say) was shooting me confused glances throughout the whole class. Did I smell or something? I officially hate this class… oh so very much.
Lunch… oh how I love you lunch. "Chris!" A happy and perky (and familiar) voice attacked me when I exited the room. "Hey sweetie." She said pecking the boy; I had sat next to in class on the cheek. He forced a smile his eyes shining in pain. So this was Jasper.
"Hi Alice." I muttered shifting from one foot to the other. She smiled at me before grabbing my arm.
"You're sitting with us today, right?" She seemed to already know my answer seeing as to how she was already dragging me through the hallway and into the cafeteria. I nodded dumbly as I straitened my black shirt with a nervous glance. I do not like crowded places all that much. She walked over to a nearly empty table before forcing me into one of the seats. Jasper sat down with ease, still looking somewhat worried.
"I'm going to get some food." I said slowly before standing up with my lunch money in hand and walking toward the line. I grabbed an apple and a water before paying and leaving the line. Alice watched me with concern as I said down at the table.
"That's all you're having?" She asked staring at my apple with disdain.
"What?" I asked slowly looking down at the apple myself. Nothing was wrong with it.
"Why don't you have more then that?" She asked again.
"I'm not all that hungry."
That is not good. A familiar voice said in my thoughts. I mentally glared. Shut it, Wy. I said back.
Mom would not like it. He said again.
Well, mom is not here.
Good thing too, or else you would be screwed. Seriously, though, you should definitely eat more then an apple.
I am not hungry Wy.
I do not care. Eat more or I am going to have to go there and shove something down your throat. I moaned slightly to the words before standing up from the table to get something else. Alice looked confused and she shared a look with Jasper who was frowning in thought.
"Why is she sitting with him?" Emmett whispered to Rosalie as they entered the cafeteria. People ran around their tables with laughing faces and talked. Overall, it was a loud place for someone to be whispering.
She shrugged. "I don't really care." She strutted forward and plopped next to her "sister." "Where's Edward?" She asked politely. Alice shrugged.
"I don't know." She perked up when the brunette returned to the table.
-Chris's Point of View-
Alice smiled at me happily when I came back to the table. I smiled back at her cautiously… she must have been bipolar. "You must know Chris." She said to Rosalie (when did she get here?) and some brunette guy. He was huge… he could rival some wrestlers. Rosalie nodded and smiled at me, something that seemed to surprise everyone who was at the table so far. "That's Rosalie, whom I'm guessing you've already met, and the guy behind her, the big one, is Emmett." I almost stuck out my hand for the guy, Emmett, to shake. He had a booming laugh.
"If you managed to get Rose to be nice to you, you're good in my book." He sat down beside me as Alice and Jasper left the table to get food. She sent him a warning look before leaving. "I don't know what you did to get her to be nice to you but congratulations man." He looked at someone from across the lunchroom.
"Finally." Rosalie drawled. Took him long enough to get here.
"Hey, you mind if we go get some food?" Emmett asked leaving at my nod. I wondered whom they were talking about before whom but annoying girl walked up to my table. AND HAD THE NERVE TO SIT DOWN!
She smiled at me… she did not have perfect teeth. Argh, what was her name again? Maybe if I am nice to him he will not mind me sitting here. Maybe he knows my name now. I resisted the urge to glare at her. "Hi. Mind if I sit here?" She asked… why'd she ask? She was already SITTING HERE! I could not help but want to strangle the girl. Seriously, what was her name?!
"Hi, Bella." A guy's voice said from behind her. She turned around before hiding a wince horribly.
"Hey Mike." She responded as he sat down beside her. I glanced over my shoulder, my gaze falling on Alice who was talking to Jasper in the corner of the cafeteria in rushed manners.
Why is Bella sitting with him? The kid, Mike, thought with disdain. Was that a little bit of jealousy I sense there?
"And you are?" He asked, sounding a bit forced.
Ah what the hell, why would you have to throw my into this? Take your little girlfriend and leave. "Chris." I answered, muttering into my food.
"What did you do to get on the good side of the Cullens?" A new voice said. The girl (where the hell-?) sitting next to annoying girl, Bella, piped up. She had a snooty voice.
I pushed down a glare. "What do you mean the good side?"
"They rarely ever speak to anyone. Let alone new kids." She replied. I nodded with fake agreement.
"Yeah and why's-?"
"Who are they?" Annoying girl, Bella, had the nerve to interrupt me. She was staring at the object of our conversations.
The other girl (who the hell was she?) smiled at her. "They're the Cullens. The pixie like girl is Alice Cullen. The big guy is Emmett Cullen, the guy standing next to Alice, the one who looks like he is in pain, is Jasper Hale. The girl who looks like a supermodel is Rosalie Hale and the guy next to her is Edward Cullen." My green-eyed gaze snapped back to the group that was being talked about. The only one I had yet to meet stood beside Alice with a slight smile on his face. She was holding onto Jasper's hand with a smile, he even seemed to be smiling. The one who I was guessing was Edward snapped his copper colored head to our table. He met Bella's gaze before his autumn eyes found mine. His eyes narrowed in confusion. Something is different about them. The thought finally struck me. Something is very different about them.
"They're all together though." The other girl added in a whisper, as if it was a scandalous secret. I rolled my eyes and went back to picking at my food. The school lunch was not bad, but ever since the poison incident, I never felt the need to eat anything but an apple at school… why an apple you may ask. An apple because it was the first food I had eaten once I woke up at the hospital. "Alice and Jasper and Rosalie and Emmett." I noticed that she had left one person out.
The annoying girl (BELLA, CHRIS! BELLA!) called her on it. "What about him?" She asked, most likely talking about Edward. Is it possible that he is single? I could not help but choke at that thought. She looked at me surprised as I quickly downed half of my water; I waved my hand for her to continue. Mike (was that it?) smiled at me as I regained breathing composure. I gave him a shaky smile in return.
"Supposedly none of the girls here are good enough for him." She scoffed. I laughed. Turned down. I glanced at him and his family from the corner of my eye. He was smiling slightly, as if remembering the moment. "But they live together." Another scandalous secret no doubt.
"Are they related?" Bella (haha, I got it right this time!) asked suspiciously. Yes, because incest is a problem my dears.
"No." Seriously, what was her name? "Dr. and Mrs. Cullen took them in as foster children." The five of them tensed, Alice glancing in my direction. "Rumor has it Mrs. Cullen can't have kids." She whispered that out too. Kind of happy I do not know her name now.
I scoffed. "And that's a problem why?" I whispered back with a raised eyebrow.
"I think it's very nice of them to take in so many children that aren't their own and manage to love them." Bella said indignantly. I would not.
There were a few moments of tense silence after that. "Have they always lived here?" Bella asked again.
The girl shook her head. "No, they used to live in Alaska, they moved down her a few years ago." Alaska? Who lives in Alaska? I shook my head before getting up from the table and dumping my food off the tray and walking it back to the sink thing for the lunch people to wash.
I had some questions.
Outside the school, I deposited my bag on the concrete and dug out my phone. I typed in the number and pressed send. The phone rang for a while before a familiar and welcomed voice answered. "Hello?"
I smiled, sliding down the brick walls of the school. "Hey Buba."
"Chrissie!" He sounded much happier. I could hear the smile in his voice. "How are you?" He asked hesitantly.
"I'm okay." I paused. "I actually have a question."
I heard him hang something up in the background. "Ask away."
"Do we know anyone by the name of Cullen?"
He thought for a second. "Cullen… I do not think so. I'll ask mom though."
"Okay." I paused again. "I met someone today-"
"Ooohhh, do we like 'em?" He asked teasingly. I glared knowing that he could not see it.
"Very funny. No, but, seriously, she just came up to me and started talking early in the morning and I must have looked freaked out because she said I don't bite."
"And the problem with that statement is…?" He must have been confused.
"I'm getting there. After that she thought at least not humans." I sighed. "There's something odd about her and her family too, Wy. They are the palest people I have ever seen and they had the weirdest eyes. She seems to know my answer whenever she asks a question too. Her boyfriend seems to be in pain all the time. I don't know."
"Maybe they just don't like the sun." Wyatt suggested. I rolled my eyes.
"My instincts are telling me no." I sighed again and rubbed the bridge of my eyes before running a hand through my hair.
"Then… I will look in the BOS for something to help you. Do not worry. I'll get back to you later on tonight okay?" I nodded, even though he couldn't see it.
"Okay."
"It must be time for your next class. Bio right? Anyway, I'll talk to you later. Call me when you leave school."
"KK, love you Buba."
I could hear the smile in his voice. "Love you too Chrissie."
"Hey!" Alice ran to my side. "Why'd you leave so quickly? I wanted to talk to you."
"Oh. Sorry. I had to call-"
"Your brother?" She asked, once again not needing my answer.
I smiled slightly before nodding in affirmation. "Yeah."
"I was going to make Edward walk you to your next class but you were already gone." She shrugged, helplessly.
I smirked back, avoiding the massive amount of people streaming out of the cafeteria doors. "Sorry. I got to get to my next class, Alice."
"I'll see you in gym!" She called as I walked off, smiling over my shoulder. Something was definitely off about them.
A: N- Next class… the dreaded Biology. Oh and please go vote on the poll about whether Bianca should be in the story or not. It would help greatly. Thanks to all that reviewed and who will review! Don't forget to vote on the poll! Am I moving too fast?
