Chapter 3.
First day at school.
Last chapter:
That night I fell asleep with Sunny in my arms and a smile on my face. I was allowed to bring Sunny with me. What more could I want?
"Beep! Beep! Beep!" What is that? Make it stop mom. It hurts my ears! I turned over and stopped my alarm. "It was just my alarm clock. It's supposed to wake me." Oh. Well I'll try to remember that. I got out of bed and got in the shower. When I got out, fully dressed, Sunny sniffed the air. I love how you smell when you come out of that room. "Thank you Sunny. Now let's eat breakfast."
Charlie had already left so the kitchen was empty when we got there. I got some egg and bacon for me and just bacon for Sunny. We ate in silence and just enjoyed the calm and quiet. Once we were done I put the plates in the sink and I ran up to get my schoolbag. "Come on Sunny." I let him into the car and drove to school.
We arrived ten minutes before everyone else, just like principal Porter had asked. We walked into the office and waited for him. "Ms. Swan, please come in." He said when he opened the door to his office. I got up and walked over to him. "Hi principal Porter. I would like you to meet our new mascot, Sunny. Sunny come here."
Sunny came walking in and barked happily at Porter while waggling his tail. The moment principal Porter saw Sunny his face broke out in a big smile. "I'm glad you convinced me. I have a feeling this will be great." I just nodded my head in thanks and smiled. "Hello Sunny, are you ready to bring this school some school spirit? Give me a howl if you are." He said while sitting down so that he could look him in the eyes. Sunny lifted his head towards the roof and let out a long enthusiastic howl. Porter looked so happy that I wouldn't be surprised if he broke out in a happy dance, but since he was the principal in the presence of a student, he only clapped his hands and smiled.
Five minutes later the school bell signalled for first period to start. Porter took his office microphone, which he used when he announced something over the speakers. "Attention please. May all student and faculty meet in the gym immediately. I have a big announcement to make. Thank you." He turned to us and smiled. "Well Sunny are you ready to meet the school?" He barked and howled to show that he was. It seemed like that was exactly what Porter wanted to hear because his face broke out in a smile again.
"Good morning. Today I bring you some happy news. Last night Ms. Swan called and came up with a great idea. It appears Ms. Swan have found our new school mascot. He will accompany Ms. Swan in all of her classes, but also on Friday practise and every swimming contest. I want you to please welcome our new mascot SUNNY!" Principal Porter said. "Go get them cub." I whispered to him. Will you come with me? "Yes, just run up to principal Porter and I'll follow." Ok mom.
He ran up to where Porter stood. When he was at his side he howled again. I followed not far behind him with a big smile on my face. He seemed to enjoy the attention. I walked up next to him. "So what do you think? Do you think he can be our mascot?" Porter asked. In response nearly the whole student body yelled "YES!!!" "That's what I thought. Now back to class." He said dismissing them. He turned and smiled at me. "That means you too Ms. Swan. Please make sure Sunny behaves. I don't want to give the teachers any reason to get rid of him." "Of course. Come on Sunny, let's get to class."
When I arrived at my English class I knocked on the door before entering. Sunny right behind me. When they saw Sunny they began cheering while the girls went all "Awh..." "I wondered when you two would arrive. Please take your seat." Mrs. Lighe said while pointing me at my seat next to Edward. When I sat down I heard Sunny growl at Edward. "Sunny, stop growling at Edward." I told him in a soothing voice. I could hear some snickering but didn't mind. Fine, I'll stop growling at him, but that doesn't mean I like him. Edward just huffed and looked annoyed.
"Can't you control him? I don't like being growled at by my girlfriends pet." He said in an annoyed tone. "Well, I can easily fix that. But I don't think you would like it very much." I said. I didn't like him telling me what to do with Sunny, or him calling him my pet. He was so much more than that. I got so angry that I began shaking slightly and I got all warm. Calm down mom. If he does that again I'll just do something to his shoes. When Sunny said that and lay down at my feet I calmed down again, but I was still burning up. I didn't feel warm but when I touched my arm I could feel how hot it was. And what was up with the shaking?
"I'm sorry Bella. Are you alright? I didn't mean to upset you." He said while he touched my cheek. "Wow Bella, you're burning up. Let me take you to Carlisle." I got mad again. "No thank you. I am perfectly healthy. I don't need a doctor. And until you stop being a jerk towards Sunny and I you can stay away from us." I began shaking again, he got a concerned look on his face. "Okay Bella. But if you begin feeling sick please go see Carlisle." "Fine" I said and huffed. Mom calm down, he's not worth it.
In my next class I took a seat as far away from Edward as I could get. When he saw that he looked like a lost puppy, but Sunny seemed happy so I didn't think more about it. Class dragged by and when the bell finally rang signalling lunch I picked up my things and went over to Angela. "Hi Angela, can I sit with you guys today?" She looked surprised that I wanted to sit with her at her table. I usually sat at the Cullen table and sometimes she would join me. "Sure. So this is Sunny. He's a real sweetheart. What happened?" She asked while we were walking towards the cafeteria.
"Well I had an argument with Edward and went for a walk in the woods to calm down when I found him. He was stuck under a fallen three and hurt his paw. When I brought him to Emily he kind of adopted me. And I didn't have the heart to leave him at home today so I called principal Porter." I said as we got in line. "Oh, well he was lucky then. He couldn't have found a better person." She said and smiled. I agree. Sunny said and barked. Angela giggled and smiled.
I got some chicken for me and Sunny. For some odd reason I was feeling really hungry. "Wow Bella. Didn't you eat breakfast today? That's a lot of food you got there." Angela said while eying my big pile of food. "I'm just really hungry today. I guess it is all the stress." She nodded her head and mumbled "yeah."
When I sat down next to Angela at the end Jessica looked surprised. "Have you and Edward broke up or something?" she asked with hope in her eyes. "No, I just wanted to sit with you guys today. Besides Sunny doesn't like Edward. And I don't think I can handle a starring contest between my boyfriend and my pet." I said in an annoyed voice. I didn't like how hope was shining in her eyes when she asked me if we broke up and I didn't like to call Sunny my pet.
"Oh sorry. So why Sunny? Why not something else?" she asked. "Well he is like the sun in my life, and with as little of it as we see here in Forks I figured I needed my own kind of sun." I said while smiling affectionately at Sunny who was eating his chicken. "That's so sweet. Well I think he'll be a good school mascot, and the name kind of fits." She said in a false sweet voice while patting Sunny. I don't like her, she seems fake. I knew Jessica was fake but she was one of Angela's friends so I tolerated her.
Just then Mike sat down opposite of me. "Hi Bella. Would you like to see a movie with me?" He asked with what he believed to be a seducing voice. Sunny growled and I felt my temper flare up again. "Mike, you know I have a boyfriend already." He looked disappointed but then smiled again. "Well I got to try at least, but what do you say about getting together the old gang and go see a movie in La Push on Friday after practise?" I knew that Edward wasn't allowed in La Push and I believe Mike remembered that too. "Sure Mike but can I bring some friends?" He looked over at the Cullen's before smiling at me again. "Fine, as long as it's not one of the Cullen's."
I didn't plan on taking any of the Cullen's, but my cousin Jake and his friend Embry. All their friends had left them and they needed someone else to hang out with. Besides Embry was one of my best friends, he helped me when I had a crush on Quil. Well even with Embry's help nothing ever happened. I wasn't slutty enough for him to see me as anything other than Jake's cousin. But then I had to find out what to do with Sunny. I knew I couldn't bring him with me or leave him at Uncle Billy's. That's when the thought hit me. Emily!
When there was five minutes left of lunch I got up and went outside to call Emily, Jake and Embry. "Hello, La Push vet. What can I help you with?" "Hi Emily. How are you?" I said. "Oh Bella. I'm fine, how are things with you and Sunny going?" "great, that's actually one of the reasons I called. Can I ask for a favour?" "Sure, what do you want?" she asked surprised. I usually didn't ask for favours. "I'm going to the movies down in La Push on Friday with some friends from school and Jake and Embry, so Sunny has nowhere to be. Do you think you could look after him, I don't trust him with anyone else." "Sure thing Bella. I would be delighted to watch him for you. Just come over with him on your way to the cinema. See you on Friday. Bye" "Bye Emily, and thanks I owe you." Well now that was taken care of. I just had to call Jake and Embry.
"Hi Bells. I thought you were at school." He sounded so excited that I couldn't stop the smile that forced its way onto my face. "Well silly, I'm at school, but have you heard of lunch?" "Of course I've heard about lunch, my favourite time of the school day. But what's up?" I could hear his smile trough the phone. "Well, me and some friends from school are going to the movies in La Push this Friday and I wondered if you and Embry would like to come?" I heard him sigh. "Bells, when could I ever say no to you?" "Well you said no that one time I wanted you to go shopping with me." I said while laughing at the memory.
"Bells, you do remember that you had dressed me up in a pink dress, braided my hair and put on some make-up before you decided that I was girl enough to go shopping with you?" Now I was full out laughing, he actually looked better as a girl than a boy back then. "How could I forget. I still got the pictures. You looked so lovely, wonder what the guys would say if they saw them?" I heard him swallow and laughed again. "That's one of the reasons I can't say no to you. I'll come. Do you want me to ask Embry or do you plan on calling him yourself?" "I'll call. See you later, I'm gonne come over and make you some food later today. Bye." "Bye Bells."
Only Embry left. "Hello?" "Hello, did you get my Call?" I asked while snickering at our joke. His name was Embry Call, but no one but me was allowed to make fun of it. "Izzy! Do I still make you dizzy?" We both laughed at his usual greeting. "Hi Em. Long time no see. I'm actually calling to ask if you wanted to go to the movies down in La Push on Friday?" "Sure Iz, but who's coming?" "Well, it's me, Jake and some of my friends from school." "Oh. Are you going over to Jake today?" I laughed, I knew what he wanted. I was famous for my good cooking skills down in La Push. "Yes Em you can come and eat my delicious food. But I'll have to go to class now. Bye Em." "Bye Izzy." He said and we hang up. The school bell rang and I went to class.
I took my place in biology next to Edward. This was the only class I couldn't sit somewhere else. Sunny didn't seem pleased. Neither was I for that matter. Then Mr. Banner came in with a television. "Today we are going to study the moon and its phases. And please no howling at the full moon Sunny?" He barked to show that he wouldn't. The whole class sat in shock. Mr. Banner just told a joke! He never tells jokes. Well if I was looking for proof that Sunny would be a good mascot and raise the school spirit I wouldn't have to look any more. He had already raised the school spirit, both students and teachers loved him.
"Just go to sleep if you like, I'll wake you when class is over." I whispered to Sunny. Thanks mom, I was beginning to get a bit tired. Mr. Banner turned off the lights and started the movie. I wasn't paying attention, but when the full moon appeared on the screen I felt a strange humming go through my whole body and I got the urge to lay back my head and howl. I managed to contain the urge, but just barely. The humming didn't stop until the full moon disappeared.
What was that? First I'm running a temperature but don't feel cold. I was actually only sitting in my t-shirt while the rest of class was huddled into their thick sweaters. Second, every time I got really mad I began shaking. Like there was something on the inside that wanted out. Third I was eating abnormally much and I was still a bit hungry. And fourth, just by seeing the full moon on a screen my whole body began humming in a good but strange way. Also I got the urge to howl at it, like if I was a wolf. Then a thought hit me. Was this all happening because of the bite I got from Sunny? Just like in the movie Wolf? I shook my head. Get real Bella.
"Sunny wake up, the class is over." I said while trying to gently wake him. He lifted his head and yawned. He was just so cute. Now it was time for my most hated class. Calculus with Mr. Varner. It's not that I didn't understand it or was bad at it. It just took too long to find the answer and I didn't have the patience. Luckily for me class went by fast, and before I knew it the bell rang signalling end of class.
"Come on Sunny, let's get to swim class. But don't jump in the water no matter what. Coach Clap will have you thrown out then." Fine, I won't jump in the water. I smiled. "Coach Clap can you take Sunny with you to the pool? I don't think it would be a good idea to take him through the locker room. I promise he won't go in the water." He smiled at me and agreed. I liked swimming. If I had P.E. I would have failed, but I was pretty good at swimming. The coach liked me because I didn't skip class when I got my period or fake it like so many other girls did.
I went and changed while Sunny followed Coach. Entering the locker room I heard the girls gossiping in the other end. "Did you see how they sat apart in class and lunch? It's about time they broke up. I don't know what he sees in her." Lauren said while shaking her head in disbelief. "Well I think it might be because I didn't throw myself at him, and I stood up to him. Besides I believe he likes girls with an IQ over that of a duck like yours." I said while passing them. They all looked shocked. I could feel my skin heating up again, and the shaking was back.
When Sunny saw me he noticed me shaking and whined at me. What happened? Please calm down mom. Do I need to bite someone? I shook my head to show Sunny that he wouldn't need to bite anyone. I began to calm down when Lauren came in and glared at me. I felt my anger boil up again, but this time I managed to control it by focusing on Sunny. It helped.
I was standing on the diving board ready to take off as soon as Coach yelled GO. I was swimming freestyle against Lauren. My favourite, but Lauren was on the swim team so I knew I couldn't beat her. My thoughts were cut off when I heard Coach yell "Get ready! Set! GO!". And I was in the water, swimming my fastest ever. When breathing in air I heard Sunny howl at me to go faster. I pushed myself a little bit more and swam past her and touched the wall. When I looked up Sunny was jumping around in joy and Coach was smiling at me while the girls stared at me in shock. "I wasn't ready. And she started too early." I heard Lauren whine next to me. "that's too bad, but that's how it is sometimes. And I can assure you that Ms. Swan did not start too early."
It felt good to beat her even though I knew she would get back at me in one way or another. At the end of class Coach Clap came over to me with Sunny in his heels just as I exited the locker room. "Ms. Swan I was impressed today and was wondering if you wanted to be a part of the team, it would make it easier to bring Sunny then. Besides Ms. Mallory was beginning to fall behind the other swimmers and wouldn't have a chance at winning this year. So what do you say?"
I enjoyed swimming and dad always told me to find something to do in my free time, so why not. But this was not something I would just jump into, no pun intended. "Can I have some time to think about it? I don't want to rush anything. Maybe I can practice with you next week and then decide." I said while patting Sunny. "Well, that sounds reasonable. See you at practise next week then Ms. Swan." He patted Sunny then left.
On my way over to Uncle Billy and Jake I went grocery shopping. Unfortunately Sunny had to stay in the car while I got the food. I was going down the chips isle when I ran into something. Before I got the chance to lose my balance a hand reached out and grabbed me. "Hey are you okay?" A deep husky voice said. "Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't see where I was going." When I found my balance he let me go.
I looked up to see the whitest boy I've ever seen, except for vampires though. He also had black hair cut in an emo cut, which was really cute on him. He was wearing all black and had tattoos up his arms and some piercings. Then at last I came to his eyes. They where forest green.
"Hi I'm Bella, are you new here? I don't believe I've met you before." I said while shaking his hand. "Connor here. I just moved here last Friday. What high school are you attending?" he said while smiling. When he smiled he showed his dimples. I thought I would faint from all this cuteness. "Forks High. You?" His smile got even bigger when he heard the name of the school. "Me too, I'm starting school tomorrow, but I believed the Quileute people went to school down at the reservation." I laughed, he really had studied this place before moving.
"Usually, but I'm only half Quileute. My mother is Norwegian. Besides my dad like it here in Forks." He nodded and smiled again. We continued to talk while I got the food I needed. When we got out he helped me with the bags. That's when I noticed that he didn't have any car. "Hey Connor do you want a ride? Home now and to school tomorrow?" "Thank you. I would love that. I was actually worried that I had to walk to school tomorrow and it's supposed to rain here all the time." "That's fine, but I have to warn you. You'll have to share space with someone else." He looked at the car then back at me. "Don't worry there will be enough space for the both of you. You see I've adopted a wolf cub. He's not dangerous and I bring him with me everywhere. I hope that's okay?"
He got a look of awe on his face and went over to the side Sunny was on and opened the door. First he looked disappointed but then he smiled again. "Hi there cub I hope you don't mind me catching a ride with you?" Sunny barked and licked his face. I like him, he seems lonely though. I can see it in his eyes.We jumped in and drove off.
He pointed the way to his house. When we arrived I couldn't help it but laugh. "What's so funny?" He asked while looking at me. "Well it seems you are my new neighbour." Then he laughed too. He got out and waved goodbye. "See you tomorrow."
On the drive down to La Push I couldn't stop thinking about Connor's disappointed look when he saw Sunny.
AN: Who is this Connor? Why did he look disappointed? Well you'll have to wait for the next chapter to know.
please review.
until next time
