OK!! I updated in a day woooh. Even though I had to work today. How amazing am I? ... SO yeah, thank you to all of those who reviewed! Even if you just say "Keep updating" or something, it is incredibly motivating. So PLEASE, if you want to see this done review!
Thank you again :)
The day had not gone as bad as I thought. Depending on your version of "bad". I had met someone though who showed me around some of my classes. Her name was Jessica. She had a lot of the same classes as me, so she wasn't going too out of her way.
I noticed that the people here were not actually repulsed by the idea of a new comer, but the opposite actually. They have seen the same faces since their first days of school, and they were probably excited to see someone new. I noticed this as more and more people would come up to me and introduce themselves and try their hardest to help me around.
Jessica was walking beside me on our way to the cafeteria. She was talking animatedly with her hands flying in different directions. Something about the teacher we had last class who made her answer a question while she was trying to talk to me or something.
To tell the truth, I was a bit relieved that I found someone at the school already. As much as I'd have liked to say before that I was going to go through this school year unknown and undetected, it's kind of nice to know someone. I didn't have any friends in my old school and that was three times larger than this school. Funny how things work.
We pushed the large doors of the cafeteria opened and I was automatically hit with the familiar smell. It's weird how every cafeteria smells the same. We made our way over to the line-up with Lauren and Angela behind us, two girls Jessica had introduced me to. I quickly paid for my food and looked around for a place to sit. Luckily there were a lot of empty chairs and tables. I started to make my way to one at the back of the room when Jessica grabbed my arm.
"Where are you going? Do you want to sit over here with us?" she asked with a confused look on her face. "Um, yeah… sure."
We made our way over to a table relatively in the middle of the cafeteria.
"Hey Bella! Do you mind if we sit with you?" I turned around and watched Mike's large grin plastered on his hopeful face. "Yeah, sure." I looked over to see if this was alright with Jessica, but noticed she was still starring up to Mike. I'm pretty sure it was OK by the look in her eyes.
As everyone settled down to eat I looked around at the different faces around me. There were still a bit of people who I noticed were looking over in my direction. After looking around a bit I was unnerved with myself that I realised I was looking for someone. Ever since this morning right before class when I bumped into the boy with the gold eyes I couldn't stop thinking about him. Not in a stalkerish type of way… but just I couldn't get over his eyes. They were marvellous! Never in my life had I seen anything like them… How unfair to have given eyes to a boy who was already extremely good looking only to make him that much better than everyone else.
Finally I found this exact pair of eyes, sitting at the very edge of the crowd at a table with equally good looking people. I was shocked to see that they all had the odd glowing paleness as I had noticed with that boy earlier. There were a lot of people around them stealing quick glances at them, but not full out starring as I was. I realised that this must have been the popular group in the school.
"Hey Jessica, who are those people over there?" I asked quietly, leaning towards her so that she might hear.
She must have known who I was talking about, because automatically her head shot up in their direction. "Oh them? Those are the Cullens. They're extremely good looking but don't get your hopes up. They don't date anyone out of their own group." She turned back into her conversation with Lauren as if this was old news. I thought about our conversation earlier and remembered how he said he would see me in Biology. I had a sudden hope that he would.
And as he said, he did.
I walked in my biology class right after lunch and my heart skipped a beat. There he was sitting at the back of the room his arms folded casually over his chest. He noticed me watching him as I passed to go up to the teacher and he smiled.
God I wished I wasn't so foolish. I wish he wouldn't bait me like he was. He must have known what affect he had on people.It was like he had these games in his mind. He was a spider with his web trying to catch unsuspecting girls.
With a new determination I walked up to the teacher and introduced myself. He pointed to the empty stool next to the boy with the gold eyes. I sighed. This was going to be a lot more difficult than I thought.
"Why hello, again." He greeted me as I put my bag down beside the stool as I slid on. "I looked up quickly, willing myself to look away automatically. "Hi."
"I hope you found your English class easily enough." He said while pulling out his books and laying them on the counter in front of us.
"Yes, I did thanks." Short and sweet.
He seemed unsatisfied with my lack of talk, but instead of pushing me, he went silent as the class began.
The class was surprisingly easy. Most things they were going over I had done back in Phoenix. The boy beside me had not only looks, but was smart also, answering every question the teacher asked him. I learned his name was Edward.
When the bell rang, I took no time to pull my books and binder into my bag and running out the door only to turn behind me once to see the confused look on Edwards face.
What a strange day, I thought. Definitely not what I had expected. Surprising myself, I looked forward to the next day to see what it would bring me.
