I own nothing except the crappy Ford Explorer as old as I am that I'm not even allowed to drive for three more years.
Ahh, first day of school. I'm gonna enjoy this. Leah and Jasper would be here in two hours to pick me up. Jasper would pick Leah up and come to my house, since Emmett wanted to have the Grand Am he and Leah shared to himself for the first day.
I jumped out of bed and got in the shower. Having picked out my clothes the night before, I was able to wash, and condition my thick hair.
The outfit I picked was a pair of black shorts, hot pink tank top, black cropped vest, white knee high tube socks with pink stripes at the top paired with my black converse, and my black leather fingerless gloves, they had little roses on the wrists. I used to only wear black, but, since I've lived in Phoenix, I learned to incorporate some more color into my clothes.
I stepped out, blow dried my hair and straightened it. I picked through the little basket on my bathroom counter and found what I was looking for. Pulling by bangs back, I pinned the little hot pink bow there to hold it back.
I ran downstairs and started making a massive breakfast for me and Charlie. Pancakes, bacon, hash browns, eggs and toast.
"Mmm, mmm, mmm! That smells so good." Charlie came down in his uniform and dug in. After a while he left, and Leah and Jasper came to pick me up.
"You look awesome!" She squealed. She was wearing bright purple skinnies and a button down similar to the one I wore yesterday, just multicolored. She scrunched her hair and put a thin black headband in it. Jasper waved at me from the driver's seat and I smiled cheerily, waving back.
"So do you!" I replied. We got in his car car and drove to school.
I put in one of my old cd's in the cd player. I started singing one of my favorite songs, 'Hate My Life' by Theory of a Deadman.
So sick of the hobos, beggin' for change
I don't like how I
gotta work and I hate how my wife is
always up my ass I hate my job, all of my rich friends
They just sit around and get paid
I hate all of
the people who can't drive their cars.
Bitch you better get outta
the way
Before I start falling apart
She always wants to buy brand new things
But I
don't have the cash.
I
hate everyone to the bitter end.
I never get laid? I still hate my job I hate my job, all my rich friends I hate that I can't tell
when a girl's underage So, if you're
pissed like me I hate my job, all my rich friends So much at stake
Nice guys always loose
How could she have another headache?
There's always some kind of excuse
My boss is a dick
I don't get paid nearly enough to put up
with all of his shit
I
hate everyone to the bitter end
Nothing turns out right, there's
no end in sight
I hate my life
You know, I tell her she's a nice piece of
ass
Then her daddy punches me in the face
Bitches, here's what you've gotta do
Put your
middle fingers up in the air
Come on and sing "Fuck you"
I hate everyone to the
bitter end
Nothing turns out right, there's no end in sight
I
hate my life
Can't catch a break
I
hate my life
No, it's nothing new
hear "it sucks to be you"
I fuckin hate my life
The song finished just as we were pulling into the school parking lot.
All the kids were randomly milling around the lot when parked. I got out of the car and was bullshitting with Emmett, who approached us after he and Rose got out and she was talking with her friends before going back to the car for a minute.
"Damn! Bells, you look great!" Em whistled.
"Back off, Emmett. Rosalie looks like she wants to tear your manly bits off." Leah laughed as a fuming Rosalie stormed over.
"Emmett, why the hell were these in your car!?" She yelled, holding up a lacy yellow thong. Jasper and I were rolling on the ground, laughing so hard, I thought Jasper would piss himself. We were grabbing and holding onto each other for dear life as we were giggling so hard big, fat tears were rolling down our faces.
All color drained from Leah's face and we all turned to look at her, Jasper and I still chuckling.
"Hey, Lee." Her boyfriend Sam Uley came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. The color from his face drained, except from the pink that stained his cheeks. Rosalie was still ranting to Emmett, waving the thong around in the air like a madwoman.
I can already tell what happened. Leah and Sam probably did it on her day with the car and forgot her underwear, hence the yellow scrap of lace Rosalie was so red in the face about. Jasper and I looked at each other again, seeing the realization in his eyes. We burst into peals of laughter again, howling like hyenas.
"God! Knock it off, Skittle Face!" Leah yelled at me. I sobered up. She only called me that when she was mad at me for laughing at her, and my face was as red as a red Skittle. Jasper continued laughing his ass off. "Hey, you, too, Goldie Locks." He fell silent along with me, though my shoulders were shaking with silent laughter and he was hiding his smile behind his hand.
Emmett's eyes grew wide and his face turned a murderous shade of red. Uh-oh. This isn't good.
"You son of a bitch!" Emmett grabbed Sam by the collar and threw him up against Jasper's car.
"Em, don't. She's eighteen, for Christ's sake. She can make her own decisions." I shook my head and loosened his grasp on Sam's shirt. Emmett was so protective over us girls, he'd flip out if he figured out I wasn't a virgin either.
"Okay, now that we've all established that Leah's a big girl, Rose, you can stop your yelling, you're causing a scene." Emmett got back in her face.
"Sorry, Em Bear. Forgive me?" She pouted. I'm really starting to like Rosalie.
"Of course. Just don't do it again." He kissed her soundly and it almost wanted to make me gag. He's basically my older brother and he's making out with Rosalie.
"We've gotta go in." Jasper said through his chuckles. I'd already gotten my schedule the night before, so I went to first period art, that I had with Victoria.
We sat together and goofed off the entire period. Everybody was so shocked when I introduced myself. Tanya was in that class, too. She was snickering and I glared at her.
I had math with Leah and we were throwing notes to each other the whole time until the bell sounded. I stalked off to English, which I had with Jasper, but I also had to deal with Edward. I was sitting beside Jasper and in front of Edward.
"What do you want, Cullen!?" I nearly shouted as he poked me in the back for the thousandth time in the past minute.
"What ever do you mean?" He smiled as the teacher approached us.
"Bella, Edward, is everything okay?" She asked quietly. I remember Miss Keats. She is only about twenty-five and was the only one who stuck up for me when me and one of the Cullens got into it on school ground. All the other teachers never dreamed of punishing the Golden Boy until she started teaching.
"Yes." We both mumbled.
"Okay, keep the noise level down." She winked at me, chuckling slightly. The next period was lunch. Jasper and I went to lunch to meet the rest of them. We were laughing about nothing in particular when we went into the cafeteria. The lights were dimmed and a projection screen covered one wall. Everybody was instantly silent.
"Okay, attention, attention!" Tanya stood on a chair with her hands cupped around her mouth to make her voice louder.
"It turns out we have a returning student! We have made this video to welcome back Isabella Swan." On the screen, was my eighth grade picture. My eyes nearly disappeared behind my rosy cheeks and my metal lined teeth were shining in the flash. The picture went into a video. I immediately recognized it as the Halloween party in seventh grade me and Leah had gone as 'The Blues Brothers.' She was tall and skinny, I was short and chubby, so we made the perfect pair.
The video went off for a few seconds and came back on, showing me, uncharacteristically huddled in a corner while Leah ripped Edward a new one.
The person behind the camera approached me and started insulting me. My brown eyes lit up with a fire. I jumped to my feet and took a solid swing at who ever it was. The camera flew from their hand as I tackled them. I saw a flash of black hair so it must have been Alice.
"How dare you? You spoiled little shit!" I yelled, my face actually looking pretty scary. The video switched off.
The screen came to life again. It was of Leah and I in my room. We were jumping around to "Room 21" by Hinder. Miss Keats was the lunch monitor and she was just starting to say something to Tanya, but I shook my head at her.
It was pretty embarrassing, but I had to show them they couldn't mess with me. I jumped up onto a table adjacent to the one Tanya was on and started dancing and singing. I could hear her scream and laughed as Leah joined me. People were laughing, but not really at me.
"Thank you for that little production, Tanya Da-skanky. Yes that was me. But all of you remember in sixth grade gym class when we were playing basketball, I accidentally knocked her on her face and her water bra busted and left a huge stain on her shirt. She cried and cried that day." I shouted, adding a few laughs of my own. A wave of laughs resounded across the cafeteria.
"Okay! Okay! Break it up!" The principal yelled. Tanya, Leah and I got down from the tables and went back to eating like nothing ever happened.
I wonder what the other half of the day is going to look like?
