Thank you guys so much for the reviews and everything! It means a lot to me! This seems kinda like a filler chapter to me. And by the way, anytime I mention Bella's schedule (or anyone's for that matter) I didn't get it from the book, I made it up.

Chapter 3

My body could feel the cold gym floor beneath me. Everything was pitch black and my whole body was freezing, apart from my head for some reason. After what was just cold and dark, I was aware of voices around me.

"Oh god, I killed her didn't I!" I could hear Mike's voice. Wait, I'm dead? My mind tried the putting together the words. "She finally does something right in gym class and I have to kill her." No, I'm pretty sure this isn't what death feels like.

"Mike stop, she's not dead!" I heard Evey scream angrily. Good, then I'm not dead. I felt hands brushing my hair out of my face over and over again on my slightly elevated head. "Izzie, Izzie, wake up!" She said worriedly. I finally managed to flutter open my eyes. I saw her staring down at me, the back of my head was leaning on her bent knees. Then I became aware of the throbbing pain in my head.

"Oh, ow…" I whimpered.

"Oh Izzie you're awake!" She rejoiced as her head came down onto mine to hug me. She let go of me and my hand went back up to feel my head again. Along with the throbbing it also stung a little.

"Hey, is that blood?" Tyler pointed a finger to my head.

"Oh man," Evey said as she began to assess where Tyler pointed. "Yeah, it is. I'd better get her to the nurse's office now." She then moved her hands out from under me, relocated one arm behind my back, and the other under my legs. "Where is it?" Next thing I knew I was being lifted off the ground.

"Who-ah!" I made the word into two syllables due to shock, and I wrapped my arms around Evey instinctively. "Put me down, you can't carry me!"

"What does it look like I'm doing?" She quipped. Then Mike cut in.

"Whoa, Evey, maybe you should let me take her." He sounded slightly worried and anxious, but impressed too.

"No, I got her." She didn't sound like she was starting to get tired at all. "So, which way is it?"

"Uh, two buildings to the left." He answered sounding unsure if he should really let her take me. Well, I knew wasn't going to let her.

"Hey!" I shouted. "I can walk you know!" Evey barely glanced at me and continued speaking to Mike.

"Thanks." We started to make our way out of the gym. She had completely ignored me!

"Hellooo!" I spat. "Put me down!" I yelled. We walked a couple more feet and the gym door closed behind us.

"Ok." She answered simply. I could feel the ground under me again. What? Just like that? "Well," She began, sensing my confusion. "I'm sure one of those boys would have loved to have an excuse to get there hands on you and help you. I just figured with you having a boyfriend and all you wouldn't like that." Huh, that was considerate. But I didn't remember telling her about Edward.

"I didn't te-" I was cut off by tripping over my own feet, but Evey caught my arm and helped steady me.

"Guess I'll still have to hang on to ya though. You did hit your head really hard."

"Evey, I didn't tell you I had a boyfriend." I accused. She looked at me as if she was puzzled to why I was asking the question.

"Well, obviously you did." She said as we walked into the nurse's office.

"No, I-" The nurse walked in then.

"Hello, what can I do for you kids?" She asked.

"Well, we were playing tennis, and one of the balls hit Izzie's head and knocked her out. I think she's even bleeding." Evey urgently stated. I rolled my eyes; she made it sound worse than it was.

"Oh my! Well, lie down on the bed there, I'll get you an ice pack." I let out a sigh and went to lie down on the bed as the nurse turned to Evey. "Could you sign her in please?" Evey nodded and went over to the sign in sheet. Then the only person that could make this experience not completely horrible walked through the door.

"Edward!" I shouted joyfully. Evey's head shot straight up.

"Bella, I came as soon as I heard." He said in an urgent tone as he walked over to where I was laying.

"And how on earth did you hear about it?" Evey spat at him, glaring as she did.

"News travels fast at this school." Edward politely stated as he turned to meet her gaze, but kept a friendly smile doing it.

"Couldn't have possibly been that quickly." She accused.

"It's a small school." Edward said coolly. There eyes never left each other, it looked like they were having a staring contest! Only Evey looked at him in disgust, and Edward just had a blank rather frustrated look, but he was still smiling and being polite.

"Ok…" I started, trying to break the awkward silence, "Edward, this is Evey, Evey, Edward." I made hand gestures as I said there names.

"Pleasure to meet you Evey." Edward smiled and nodded his head sincerely.

"Yeah, a real… pleasure." Evey smirked and her head suddenly turned to the door just before the nurse walked in. She was holding the ice pack but a few other things as well.

"Ok, here's your ice pack. But I'm going to have to clean out that cut before you use it." She turned to Evey. "You can go back to class now. And, oh! Mr. Cullen, what brings you here?"

"Just Bella here, ma'am. I have a free period now."

"Alright… I suppose that's fine." With what looked like some difficultly she broke her stare with Edward to look at Evey. "But you should get to class." Turning to me the nurse began to clean my cut. Evey walked over to me, and I saw that shy look in her eyes again.

"So, I guess you're gonna be going home because of this, considering you should probably go see a doctor or something."

"Yeah, I suppose they are going to make me leave." I realized. But at least I wouldn't have to go see a doctor, I have Carlisle for that.

"Yeah, that sucks… or, is a good thing, cause you get to miss school! That's always a good thing. Heh. Yeah, but anyway…Well, I, I don't really know anybody here, and I was just maybe wondering, if you could like, show me around Forks or wanted to hang out or something sometime?" She tripped over her words, making it sound like this was something very difficult for her to ask.

I was a little surprised by the question, just because it seemed so random. And even if she had just given my boyfriend the glare of death for no good reason and was a little strange, I guess I didn't mind her. And she doesn't know anyone. Plus it would probably be good for me to get out. Why not?

"Yeah, sure. We could do something. There's not much to show in Forks, except rain. But yeah, that could be fun!"

"Oh, thank you so much Izzie!" Edward gave me a suspicious look as Evey wrapped her arms around me to give a hug, being very careful of my head and the obviously annoyed nurse trying to clean my cut. The nurse seemed to be finished cleaning my cut, and stood with a sigh.

"Alright, here's your ice pack. Keep that on your head while I go call your father. And you," she pointed to Evey, "need to get to class now."

"Ok sorry. Well, I'll see ya later Izzie!" The nurse walked into the other room as Evey turned around toward the door right into Edward. I couldn't see, but I imagined her face turned to scowl by the way she said her farewell. "See ya, Edward."

"It was very nice to meet you." Edward said polite as ever. He moved out of her way, although he was still staring at her. She gave him one last scowl and was out the door. Edward turned his attention to me.

"Is she bi-polar?" He asked.

"No. I mean, I don't think so. Maybe. You could probably tell better than me."

"No, I can't actually."

"What?"

"I can't read her mind. Nothing, just like you."

"Really?" Wow, that was weird. "Then how did you know I was here?"

"Mike's mind. I actually watched most of your tennis match. It took a lot of restraint not to run out of math at full speed when I saw you get hurt."

"Peeper." I accused. I hated it when he spied on me in gym class. He laughed. He suddenly stopped, as if remembering something. His one eyebrow stretched to the top of his forehead as he looked at me. "What?" I asked.

"Izzie?" He said as he intensified his look.

"Oh yeah… That's just something she wanted to call me. And I decided to let her."

"Why would you do that? Bella is so much more you! And more beautiful." Ugh, did he really have to say beautiful?

"She just wanted to, I don't know!" I didn't want to tell him it was because I didn't think myself pretty, he would just try and tell me wrong. Then a thought came to me… "Oh yeah, did Alice see Evey coming to the school?"

"I don't think so. She didn't tell me anything about it."

"Hmm… That probably means she's immune to Alice's power too. We should ask Alice though, just to be sure that she can't see her."
