Biology
I turned around and went to my teacher.
'Sir, would you mind if I go to the administration first? I have to ask for my school schedule.'
'Of course, but make sure you are quick, we'll start walking.'
So I went around the corner and did a silent thank you for the sign that said administration.
'Excuse me, miss. I'm Isabella Swan, the Chiefs daughter. Is my school schedule here?'
'Yes, I remember the Chief saying about his daughter to Forks. Well, let's see. I've got your schedule right here, and I would like it if you ask your teachers to sign this paper. Once all of them have signed it, just bring it back to me.'
'All right. I have to go now. Bye.' I went back to follow the class. I was the one walking on the end of the row now and I didn't mind. This way nobody would watch me. In front of me I saw a boy with too many muscles. He was tall and looked like a boxer. Next to him another boy was walking and he had blond hair. The boy that had watched me angrily was now laughing.
'Did you see her fall? Hilarious. I can't believe-'
I tried to keep my distance so I walked slower. Obviously, they didn't know I was walking right behind them. And I didn't want to hear the rest of it. I watched my hand and the wound wasn't looking that bad. I had forgotten to clean it. I suppose there was nothing I could do about it now. I would be so glad if it didn't infect.
I hadn't realised I was walking a bit faster now and was rather close behind the boys again.
'-you, Edward? You can't say shit like that. You don't even know her,' the boy with too many muscles said.
'Oh, come on, Emmett. You saw her yourself,' the laughing boy said. 'She looked like an idiot. I don't want to know her. She's not handsome enough. She looked like a ghost, with that pale face. And those ridiculous clothes, she clearly doesn't have any taste. Tanya is much more handsome to tempt me. Hell, I'd rather take Jessica.'
'Edward, don't say that,' the blond guy said. 'Those things could really hurt a girls feeling. Where is she, I thought she was in our class?'
'Don't care about hurting her feeling,' Edward said. 'And don't care about where she is.'
Cruel. Horrid boy. Yeah, well, I don't want to know you either! I tried to walk slower, but I tripped over a rock and fell on one of them in front of me.
'What the hell,' Edward said.
Suddenly, all three of them turned around and watched me find my balance back. When I looked up, I saw the blond guy and Emmett looking worriedly, but Edward took of his jacket. He brushed the back of it, as if I had made it dirty, and put it back on.
'Watch it, you. Don't touch me like that again! If I-'
I walked past them, pushing the blond guy and Emmett a bit aside, until I was out of his hearing reach. I didn't care what he said. But I also didn't want to hear it. I've had enough of this guy. I really had hoped it would be a little better here. But it was just as worse. I felt like crying. Crying for hours, like I hadn't done for years. No, I would suck this up too. He would thing I cried because of his words, but that's not it. I wanted to cry because I hated this place. I hated it so much. I wanted to go home and talk to my friends on the computer. Talking to them always made me strong again. My friends supported me and were kind to me. I was strong, because I hadn't eaten for a while now. I smiled to myself. How much would I weigh now?
I looked around and I was feeling a little better. It looked like we were at the location we had been heading for. The rest of the people had stopped walking and were starting to talk now.
'Alright, listen up everybody. Form groups from 3 or 4 and you all know what to do. I'm here if you have any questions.'
I was looking around, to see everybody get started. I noticed Emmett watching me. 'You wanna join our group?'
I was about to say no, since I most definitely didn't want to spend any time with Edward, when Edward suddenly said:
'If she joins us, I'm out of here.'
'Edward,' Emmett said.
'Yes?'
'Shut up,'
He looked stunned. Emmett suddenly grabbed my arm and we walked away from Edward. He whispered, 'Don't worry about that douche bag. He had a fight this morning with dad. I'm Emmett by the way and this is Jasper.'
'Call me Bella,' I said.
'And that over there,' he pointed to Edward, 'is Edward.'
I turned around to see Jasper and Edward behind us. I was just in time to see Jasper hit Edward on the head. Edward looked annoyed, but suddenly the unthinkable happened. Edward smiled. At me. I looked behind me, I was sure he was smiling at those girls he mentioned before. Nope. Nobody was behind me.
'Well hello Bella,' Edward said very nicely, extending his hand 'but of course you can join our group. We'll have a lovely time. I'm sure of that,' and when he didn't withdrew his hand, I quickly took it and shook it once, but he squeezed my hand quit hard, so I had to pull it out of his hand. Auw. It was the hand with the wound. He didn't mean all that crap he was saying. I wasn't going to fall for his lies.
I saw people walking to the big lake until the water was around their knees. They had catching nets and put it on the bottom of the lake and made a movement from left to right, until the thing was full with crap. They brought that to a bucket that was filled with water and flipped the net in it. The crap got out and this way they could easily grab the bugs and put them in smaller pots, which were also filled with water. I watched them with one eyebrow crooked. Did they really want me to do that?
When I saw Jasper filling the bucket with water and Emmett grabbing crap with the net, I couldn't see Edward anywhere. Better. I didn't want to be around him. Sigh. I was feeling a little dizzy again. Breathe, Bella, breath. I really had to take those vitamin pills better. Every time I took one, I threw it up. I didn't mean to. Maybe I was allergic to them? I was starting to walk toward the trees, because I really wasn't capable to hold it in anymore. When I was far enough, so nobody would see me, I let it all out. Bile. Disgusting. I wanted to drink some water. I got even dizzier when I heard a voice behind me. A voice saying:
'That is just nasty! Come on, Edward. I don't know what's wrong with her. I hope she'll choke,' said a girl's voice.
'It is nasty,' I heard him say, 'but you go along. I won't be long.'
I heard footsteps walk away. And nausea took control of my body one more time. This was not the time for vomiting! I don't know how long I stood there, with my eyes closed, hoping he would leave too. God, this is so embarrassing. Then I heard his voice, saying:
'Too bad.'
Why didn't he just leave? I really didn't need anyone right now. I just wanted to be left alone. Is that to much to ask? I clenched my fist in my t-shirt, shaking slightly. Damn it, I had to ask.
'Too bad what?'
I heard an evil smirk and then I heard him walk away. I turned around to watch him. Jerk. Can't even be accurate. At least he's leaving and that's all I wanted.
Suddenly he turned around, watched me right in the eye and said:
'Too bad you didn't choke.'
I kept watching him, eyes gone wide. He watched me with so much annoyance. What did I do wrong? I sucked in a breath with my mouth open and this time he turned away and kept on walking. I don't know how long I stood there, trying to breath. Why did this hurt me so? I don't care! Not about him! He really is a douche bag. I shut my eyes, until the water in them got back in my eyes. I wasn't going to cry. I leaned against a tree, just breathing. Pretending I was dead. I groaned out loud, but decided I couldn't stay here.
I walked back again to see Edward collecting some bugs and Jasper inspecting them. Emmett was back in the water again.
'Oh there she is,' Edward said. 'Where were you, Bella? We were all so worried.' I went to my bag and took my bottle of water. I drank until the foul taste was out of my mouth. 'Emmett, you shouldn't have all the fun, give the catching net to Bella. Hey, Bella.' I closed my bottle, and put it back in my bag. Asshole, he just wanted to get my jeans wet.
'Bella,' he called me again. I wasn't going to look at him. 'I'll help you.'
Emmett got out of the water and looked at me confused. 'You wanna do this? The water is pretty cold.'
Edward looked at me, challenging. I was so mad at this guy, so I took the challenge.
'Yes, sure,' I told him.
I took the catching net and started to walk to the water. I wasn't going to go far. Edward walked behind me. When I was far enough to see a few tadpoles, I put the net in the water and started to take some of the dirt on the bottom. Dizziness was coming again. I tried to remain still for a few seconds. Everything was spinning faster. I felt someone push my back and I walked a bit further to the water. Now my jeans were wet until my knee. Behind me I heard Edward say 'Woops' and kicked me in the back of my knee. It didn't really hurt, but I did fall in the water. Emmett was right, the water was cold. I heard someone call my name. I was about to call back.
But then I thought, just for a second, I thought 'What's the point?' and then I let go. I stopped fighting to get up. And then I fainted. But not before I felt the water fill my lungs.
Few minutes later
'Bella, breath!' someone said. 'Come on, yes just like that.'
I felt awful. My head was hurting. My throat was burning. I coughed a few times, getting the water out of my lungs. Then I made the mistake to open my eyes. People were staring at me. What was their problem? They were just getting their wish fulfilled. In front of me was Emmett. So he was the one to get me out of the water?
'Edward, you take Bella back to school, I think it will-' the teacher was saying.
'NO!' I screamed, interrupting him. I saw him looking surprised at me, but I just closed my eyes. When it was too quiet, I opened them again, only to see Emmett looking at me intently.
'I'll take her back, it's no problem,' Emmett said. Now I was really pissed, can't they just back off!
'NO NO,' I screamed again, hitting him with my fists on his chest. He also looked surprised but not like he was in any pain.
Suddenly I felt stupid. All these people watching me. Aah my head! I closed my eyes just once more.
'Look,' I started. I took a deep breath. 'I'm fine. I'll stay and leave with the rest of you when it's time.' I felt someone's hand go over my stomach. I felt my heart race. Why did he touch me? I couldn't even breath properly so I quickly added, 'Don't touch me, Emmett.' The hand disappeared fast and I was glad. Suddenly a thought flew in my mind. Oh no, no, no. My shirt is wet. I opened my eyes again and looked down. The fabric was sticking on my skin. I shivered. Everybody saw now. Everybody saw my body. I felt exposed. Why didn't I just take of my shirt and let them see everything under it, I asked myself angrily. Someone put a jacket over me and helped me get my arms through it. I opened my eyes again and Emmett was still watching me. He wasn't wearing his jacket anymore. Shit, so I'm wearing his.
I got up, walked to a fallen tree and sat on it. I saw that slutgirl whisper something in Edwards's ear and they both started laughing. Oh let me guess what she just said! 'She didn't choke in her vomit, but she did almost drown and that's even better!' Ha-ha.
I let my thoughts wander. Just collecting them a little and comprehend what just really happened. I got attacked by a rooster. I got lost. I found a weird man giving me direction. I attacked the door. And got seen by my whole class. I got insults from Edward. I got insults from slut. I vomited in front of both of them. And them I drowned. I wish I could have stopped here. But no, Emmett pulled me out of the water, and I got a few more insults. First the teacher thinking I would really go back to school with Edward. Then Emmett really thinking I would go back with him. And it was so awful that they all had to see my body. What would they think now? That I'm even more hideous?
After an hour it was lunch time. I took my apple and just stared at it. Out of the corner of my eye I saw two people sitting next to me. They didn't say anything, and when I looked up I saw it were Emmett and Jasper. When they saw me finally looking up, they asked how I was doing. Fine, I said. I always said I was fine. I always had to lie.
'What happened, Bella? Did Edward do anything? Because I'd be glad to punch him in the gut.'
'Nothing happened. I slipped and fell in the water.'
They were looking at me again. So I added, 'I've been feeling a little dizzy today, so I also fainted in the water.' It was also a bit embarrassing, but hey, I was already caught vomiting by 2 sluts.
'I'm glad I got there in time,' Emmett said. 'You were unconscious for 2 minutes. You should eat something, you're very skinny looking.'
Always skinny, they said. Never thin, or slim. They always said skinny. I wanted to scream 'No, I'm not'! But didn't. And I took a bite out of the apple. And another.
When they were finally looking away, I threw the now half eaten apple behind me.
Emmett got up and walked over to Edward.
'When are we going back?' I asked Jasper.
'Don't know. I hope it's fast, because there really isn't much to do anymore. And looks like it's going to rain. I love this place. It always rains here, but today it hardly has rained. Today's your first day, right?'
'Yes,'
'Tomorrow you'll probably meet Alice. She's my girlfriend. You'll really like her, I'm sure.' He kept on babbling about things. He raised his voice and I looked up again when he said:
'And the rain, it's not so bad. In fact, it's more of a drizzle than anything. And when it's done? Everything is so green and fresh and lovely, it's like the earth is starting anew again.'
'Why are you telling me this?'
'Well,' he said, getting up, 'it looks like you could use some rain.'
That is the most awful thing someone has ever told me! How dare he! Is that really his way of telling I'm looking horrible? I looked back up at him again.
He smiled at me. 'Bella. I'm just saying that you could always start anew again. But you need rain for that.' He walked back to Emmett and Edward.
Another chapter done. I quite like doing this. But writing takes so long! If there are any Grey's Anatomy fans here, I'm sorry! I've taken those 2 quotes quite literally in my story. I hope it didn't bother you to much. I just love Grey's Anatomy's, so this probably won't be the last time.
