Alright you know the drill, Here's Chapter 2, comment, question, flame yada yada yada. And thanks to everyone who reviewed! I really appreciate it :D
2. First Day
Previously . . .
"Um, excuse me, I'm Isabella Swan" She said softly, her voice musical.
"Oh hello! You must be the new student!, I'm Mrs. Cope." She looked up, surprised. She started rummaging around looking for her timetable while Bella stood there awkwardly. She found it along with a map for the school. She showed Bella the easiest way to find her classes. She also gave Bella a slip that each one of her teachers had to sign.
"Good luck dear!" She said cheerily. Bella nodded numbly and walked out saying thanks.
"Well here goes everything," Bella said, preparing herself for another repetitive year.
Looking around, Bella saw that a lot of students had jackets similar to hers. Once again she was thankful that she wouldn't stand out. She hated attention, but the secretary's reaction to her was not the most promising outlook.
Walking towards the cafeteria she was bombarded with a short girl we big curly hair. She had a large smile on her face.
Bella thought she looked a little psychotic.
Only a little.
"Hi! I'm Jessica! You must be Isabella Swan!" She said in an overly cheery voice.
Why are the people here so damn happy all the time? Bella thought irritated. It was only around 8:15 in the morning.
"It's Bella" She corrected smiling softly.
"Oh, well hi!" She said awkwardly, slightly dazed, then left.
Weird...
Bella walked towards her first class, following 2 other students in black jackets. Forks High wasn't like normal schools, instead of one big institute type thing, it was a bunch of portables with numbers on it.
Where's the feel of institution? Bella thought grimly.
As she walked into the portable with the number '2' the girls took off their jackets, two ivory skinned girls, one with blonde hair and another with light brown hair. Bella copied them.
Well at least my skin colour wont stand out here.
Bella's skin was very pale, almost translucent. She was almost as pale as a vampire. Almost. It made her eyes and hair stand out.
She walked up to get her slipped signed. She saw that the teacher's name was Mr. Mason. He gawked when he saw Bella's name, not an encouraging response. Of course she blushed bright red. He sent her to sit in the back with an Asian boy with hair black as an oil slick and skin problems, with a list of books to read. She stumbled and walked towards the back and sat down. She went over the list, she had already read everything.
He turned and smiled widely at her.
Bella smiled back politely.
English droned on and on, Bella knew this stuff backwards, forwards and upside down. Oh how she wished she could sleep.
When class was over she packed up her stuff and got ready to leave, but the Asian boy stopped her.
"Your Isabella Swan aren't you?" He asked, he looked like an overly helpful, chess club type.
"Bella," She corrected, everyone within a 3 seat radius looked over to her.
"I'm Eric Yorkie, what's your next class?" he replied.
"Um, government with Jefferson." She said. She seriously hoped he wasn't going to offer to walk to class. The point was to stay inconspicious, not to parade around flashing lights, dancing naked screaming 'Hey! I'm abnormal!'.
"I'm on my way to building 4, I could show you the way," he said more than he asked. Defiantly over helpful.
Goddamn it...
"Um, it's okay, I think I can manage, this place is tiny..." She started off in her musical voice but was cut off.
"Oh no I insist,"
Aw crap...
"Ah, sure why not?" it came out like a question.
They walked out together, with a good couple feet in between them.
"So your from Arizona?" he asked trying to force awkward small talk.
"Yup."
"You don't look very tan" he stated.
"Eh, I turn red in the sun." She replied
"And you live alone...?" he asked again.
What is this the Spanish Inquisition? Bella thought.
"Yes." Bella replied shortly.
"Why?" he asked blandly.
Bella quickly went over her cover story.
"My parents died in a car accident last year, and my aunt got the life insurance money for me and then left." She said lying smoothly. She wasn't normally a good liar, but she had been practicing, a lot... she had a lot of free time okay?
"Oh, uh, I'm sorry" he said awkwardly.
"It's fine, you learn to move on." Bella said nonchalantly. Eric just nodded.
The rest of the day pasted on similarly, her Trigonometry, Mr. Varner, who she would have hated just for the subject he taught, made her introduce her self in front of the class. She stammered and stumbled her way to her assigned seat. Eric still offered her to walk her to everyone of her classes.
Why wont he leave me alone? Bella thought, slightly annoyed.
Finally she it was lunch time. She walked toward the cafeteria with that annoying girl from the morning. Bella found out her name was Jessica Stanley. Jessica kept on babbling about some type of gossip, when a group of 5 students caught her eye.
There were 3 boys and 2 girls. There was a girl who was short and thin to the extreme with chin length, inky black hair that was spiky all over the place. The other girl was quite the opposite, she was statuesque with wavy blonde hair flowing to the middle of her back. The biggest boy was burly with dark brown curly hair, he was sitting beside the female blonde with an arm carelessly thrown over her shoulder. They were probably dating. Sitting beside the short, pixie like girl was another a blond male. He looked like he was in pain. Across from the them all was a lankier, more boyish of the other 2. He was probably the youngest. He had reddish brown hair, almost bronze, that was in a casual disarray. They were all looking away aimlessly.
They were all beautiful and deathly pale with purple like bruises under their eyes, like they were suffering from a sleepless night, or recovering from a broken nose. What caught Bella's eyes were the colour of their eyes.
Topaz.
They were vampires. Animal drinking vampires. Bella wished that most vampires would choose that life style.
She remembered the time when she met the Volturi about a century ago. Of course they knew who she was, she was able to lift the shield and show Aro her all her thoughts. Aro found her fascinating, the creator of all vampires, the first person to bite a human. Aro wanted to learn everything. He had also offered her a place within the Volturi, but Bella declined,wanting to go off on her own. Plus she found Aro creepy, and Jane hated her guts for not being able to use her power on Bella.
Bella smiled at the shocked expression on Jane's elfin, 12 year-old face when her power wouldn't work.
Jessica caught Bella staring at the Cullens.
"Those are the Cullens and Hales, the burly one is Emmett Cullen, the smaller one is Edward Cullen and the girl with black hair is Alice Cullen, the blondes are Rosalie and Jasper Hale, they're twins."
The one named Edward, head perked up, as if his name was called, and already decided he wasn't interested.
Cullen? Bella thought.
"They're all together though, Emmett and Rosalie, and Jasper and Alice, I mean. They live together too, and Edward doesn't date, apparently none of the girls are good enough for him here. Dr. Carlisle Cullen and his wife Esme Cullen adopted them all, they moved here 2 years ago." Jessica explained, though Bella didn't ask. They were sitting down now.
Carlisle Cullen! I remember him! Bella thought happily.
Flashback
In the mid 1600s Isabella Swan watched from afar, as 23 year old human Carlisle Cullen with a group of humans attempted to kill a coven of vampires in London. Bella laughed silently to herself, humans killing vampires, it was a comical scene. They all had their pitchforks and torches. They waited for one to emerge, and eventually one did.
He was ancient, and weak with hunger. Carlisle being young and very fast led the group after the vampire. He could of outran them but was to thirsty, so he turned around and attacked, Carlisle being his first victim. The others were close behind, so he turned around and attacked to defend himself, successfully killing 3 mean, leaving Carlisle bleeding in the street.
The others had left after the vampire. Bella looked toward Carlisle. She knew he would be a good man, he was extremely compassionate. So instead of killing him, Bella ran there as fast as she could, which was very fast. Picking up the twitching adult, he did not scream at first. Bella ran him to a cellar, covering him with the first thing she found, rotting potatoes.
She knew she couldn't stay with him, townsfolk had discovered. How she wished she could have stayed with him to explain what had happened, but Carlisle was a bright man, he would be able to work through this, so leaving her blessings, Bella took off, hoping that one day she would meet Carlisle Cullen.
End of Flashback
"Bella? Bella!?" Jessica asked waving a hand in front of Bella's face.
"Huh?" Bella asked snapping out of her daze.
"You zoned out for like, 5 minutes" Jessica said with one eyebrow arched.
"Yeah...I've been known to do that," she said awkwardly.
She doubted that Carlisle remembered her, but she wanted to see how he was doing, he didn't have to know.
"So anyway, don't waste your time with Edward, he wont even date me." Jessica said in a snobby voice.
Maybe, it's because you come off a little stalkerish, only a little though... Bella thought cynically. She already had a feeling that Jessica was most likely being friends with her to gain popularity, but with that last statement, she was almost positive.
Lunch had finished, and Bella had biology now.
Walking towards the portable by herself, Eric had to go in a different direction, thank god.
Entering the classroom, it looked like any other biology class room, black desks with two stools. Walking up to the teacher she saw the vampire named Edward. He was looking at her oddly.
Odd... Bella thought apprehensively
She saw that the teacher's name was Mr. Banner, he smiled politely, and gave her a package about no nonsense stuff, then signed her slip. They would get along fine. He sent her to the only empty seat, the one beside Edward Cullen. After he got up and started to pass out microscopes for the onion root lab.
She went and sat down without a word.
"Hello," said a quiet, attractive voice, it was almost like velvet.
Bella turned her head toward the sound, looking into his eyes, and becoming slightly dazed.
"Hi," Bella said in her own soft musical voice.
Edward's eyes widened a bit, no human's voice could be so musical, for lack of better word. He couldn't even read her mind. He wondered if this beautiful creature in front of him was human, then shrugged off the thought. She smelled different also, sweeter than most humans, but not edible.
Bella looked at him with her eyebrows raised. He looked like he just saw a ghost, then looked like he was having a conversation with himself. He would smile at some times, and frown at others.
Weird vampire, I wonder if he has a power... Bella thought curiously as she looked at him.
"My name is Edward Cullen, and your Bella, correct?" He introduced.
Bella immediately wondered how he knew she liked to be called Bella. Everyone else around here seemed to know her as Isabella. She thought it was to long and to formal. Probably had to do with his power.
"H-how did you know my name?" she asked stuttering a little bit.
She did an excellent job at making the vampire race, they were very good looking...
"Oh, I think everyone knows your name, the whole town has been waiting for you to arrive." he said with a slight smile. This creature beside him absolutely fascinated him, he wanted to know everything and anything about her, she was different. And then he thought, What the hell?
Bella grimaced, had this town never had a new student before? Rhetorical question.
"But you called me Bella, everyone else here called me Isabella," She persisted, maybe she would find a clue to his power, if he had a power, which he most likely did.
"Do you prefer Isabella?" he asked knitting his eyebrows together in confusion.
"Oh god no, it's just that, ugh never mind" She said dropping the subject, she looked away, grabbing a book from her back pack.
Edward looked away realizing his mistake, he had slipped up. He shouldn't have known that she likes to be called Bella.
Mr. Banner finally came around to their table, dropping off their supplies. Edward quickly set up, while Bella put her book away.
"Ladies first partner?" He asked.
"Er, sure?" when Bella replied it came out like a question.
She looked through the microscope. she didn't need to look at it for to long.
"Anaphase." She said softly.
"May I?" Edward asked looking at her with an arched eyebrow.
"Go ahead," Bella replied looking at him with the same expression. He looked like he frustrated about something, was she doing something wrong?
"It's anaphase," he concluded just as softly.
"Like I said..." Bella muttered.
"So how are you liking Forks?" he asked, forcing small talk.
"Eh, its very cold... and wet," Bella said stating the obvious.
"And I take it that you don't like the weather...?" the question trailed off.
"I tolerate it," Bella said.
"If you don't like it here, then why did you come?" he asked, truly interested now.
"Ah, my parents died in a car accident, and my aunt somehow got me the life insurance money," Bella said void of any emotion. She looked into the microscope again.
More like let me get kicked out of Heaven with out a fight... Bella thought sourly. It was true, her parents Renee, the Angel of Song and Charles, Angel of Silence, who lived up to the name might I add, had not said anything as they watched their daughter fall from grace. She was going to leave anyway though, or try to at the very least. She just didn't expect to get caught.
"The next one is interphase by the way," She said. He wrote it down quickly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't of asked..." he said remorseful.
"It's fine, don't worry about it." She waved it off as nothing, because it was.
How can she take some so, so earth shattering like it's nothing? Edward asked himself. Well, at least he got some insight to the locked mind of Isabella Swan. Too bad it made him even more confused.
They didn't say another word to one another throughout the rest of biology.
Class ended and they went their separate ways.
At gym, they didn't have showers, they had change rooms. Bella always wore a T-shirt underneath her clothes in case she had gym, to cover her wings, but she had gym from now until the end of the semester. Bella could have waited until the first semester was over, but she was getting bored, yah gotta keep yourself entertained when you live forever.
Gym was excruciating, and they had played volleyball. Bella would rather provoke Lucifer himself, they play volleyball.
Bella mentally kicked herself, she had to come mid semester...
Alice Cullen was in that class, they were also paired up for partners.
"Um, I am going to tell you right now, I cannot play to save my life, or the blonde's over there," Bella said pointing at Mike Newton. He had introduced himself sometime between the transition of Biology and Gym. He was overly happy, and very, lost puppyish.
Alice laughed softly, her eyes glittering with happiness, not even acknowledging the fact that Bella's voice and her voice were eerily similar. She did not that she did not smell like your average human though.
"It's okay, I'm Alice Cullen by the way" she said grabbing a volleyball.
"Bella Swan"
The girls practiced their bumping, Alice could have been on a pro team without even trying.
Bella envied the fact that vampires were so graceful, even if she made them like that.
She herself looked like an intoxicated donkey, for lack of better description.
Alice had thrown the ball, Then her face glazed over, her eyes looking distant. Bella bumped the ball, but it bounced off only one arm and she lost control, it was about to hit Alice. Out of impulse, Bella quickly pulled Alice out of the way, with more force and strength than any human could have used.
Alice snapped out of whatever daze she had been in, and looked up at Bella with astonished eyes.
"How did you...?" Alice started to asked, but the bell rang.
Saved by the bell... Bella thought, mentally laughing at the cheesy metaphor.
Bella dashed out of there. For some odd reason, she was less clumsy the faster she moved, so it epically sucked that she couldn't go full speed. Changing quickly, Bella ran out of there and made it to her car. She didn't know what to do, she had never met vampires in school before, and so many of them for that matter. Taking a deep breath, she drove home, seeing the Cullens pile into the Volvo. She could see Alice and Edward staring at her through the rearview mirror.
Reaching home, Bella ran out at human speed and into her house. She dropped her bag and jacket on the floor and plopped herself on the couch.
"What a day," She said to herself.
Review.
Okay that was way longer than expected, anyway I like this chapter, it was fun to work on. So yeah, that took me about 2 days to complete so I'll try to get the next chapter up ASAP.
Is it still in character? Please don't lie to me, if you hate it, say you hate it, if you love it, likewise, and tell me what I should do to make it better. YOUR OPINIONS COUNT!
Oh and I didn't make Bella Edward's singer, if that's okay. I think it's already complicated enough.
By the way, this is strictly Cannon. I hate uncannon stories...
