AN:Thanks to all of you guys who reviewed and to all of you who have subscribed this story as favorite or for story alerts. Sorry for the long wait but I had to deal with all the things that come by enrolling at college and I unfortunately didn't have time to write, and when I did I was just too exhausted or the words just wouldn't come.
If anyone would like to be my Beta that would be awesome because right now it's just me. Please PM if you are interested
Now without further ado...

Gym
We entered the locker room still hand in hand, only parting with a gentle squeeze to her hand when I had to go change into my gym clothes she had to go talk to the teacher to get her locker combination.
When I came out of the locker room most of the class was already outside waiting for the teacher to tell us the plan for the day.
As soon as the teacher, came out of his office he told us that we were going to play dodge ball. 'Great, at least in this game you actually have to hit people with balls... Let's just hope I hit the other team' as soon as I finished that thought Alice came out wearing really short shorts, and I couldn't help but stare at those beautiful ivory flawless legs; however, when I noticed I wasn't the only one staring at her I felt this burning inside me and I heard a sound that reassembled a growl leave my lips. 'What the fuck was that? Am I jealous of all those bastards staring at Alice? And what was that fucking noise? I didn't even know I was capable of creating that kind of sound' I was cut off from my musings when I felt soft skin brush against my right hand, and when I looked to my right to see the owner of the hand lightly brushing mine I saw those mesmerizing golden eyes that I was expecting, because of the tingles that ran up my arm and through my body at the light touch of our hands. She smiled up at me and I couldn't help the stupid grin that grew on my face. I didn't notice we were the last ones standing without a team; I was so lost in her eyes.
"Swan!" I heard coach Clapp yell at me, "You are in Newton's team" I groaned silently because even though I liked Mike, he liked me a little too much, and I'd much rather spend time getting to know Alice than fending off Mike's advances. 'I mean... What part of 'I'm not interested in your parts' can't he understand?' I've been out and proud since the beginning of high school, and while everyone else didn't give damn, he still couldn't get that nothing was going to happen between us in like... ever'
I was walking to my team's side of the court when I heard coach Clapp again, "Cullen! You are also in Newton's team. They are going to need all the help they can get if Bella is on their team" 'Geez! Thanks coach!' I thought while I felt my cheeks heating up. I looked back and saw Alice walking a few steps behind me with a frown on her face. I didn't have time to ponder or ask her why she was frowning because as soon as I crossed the line that separated the teams I heard coach Clapp blow his whistle indicating the start of the game.
I managed to grab a ball that I instantly hurled towards the other team and surprisingly managed to take out one of the girls on the other team that was a little to slow to react. After that surprising movement I managed to keep taking out people without getting hit; I could tell that a lot of people were surprised by that, hell I think I was the most surprised of all, usually I'm one of the first ones, if not the first one, to be taken out of the game, and yet here I was, Bella Swan, taking out people and dodging balls without even breaking out a sweat. Finally there were six people left on the other team and only Alice and I on our team.
"Ok class! Given that this match has turned rather interesting I'll make you a deal" we heard coach Clapp say, and we paused to hear what the deal was, "The team that wins will not have to do any laps for the rest of the month!" As soon as he said that the rest of the class started cheering for the people on their team. 'Greeeeaaaat. No pressure there...'
Somehow we managed to take out the rest of the other team, and as soon as I took out the last player on the other team the rest of our team rushed towards use while I rushed to Alice. I took her in my arms and spun her around; I was so excited that I didn't care that I had only just met her a few hours ago and I was already being all touchy feely, which is super weird since I'm not like that at all with anyone else. She started giggling and I stopped spinning so I could concentrate on the most beautiful sound to ever grace my ears, I wouldn't have even realized that I was still lifting her off of the ground, she was super light, if it hadn't been for the reason that her eyes were at the same height as mine. We stared into each other's eyes and even though she had stopped giggling I could still see the merriment dancing in those beautiful honey eyes. I felt one of her hands clutch at the hair on the nape of my neck, and I instinctively looked down at her ruby red lips just to see a velvety tongue peek out to moisten them; I forced myself to look back up to her eyes which had darkened considerably; however, I didn't have time to ponder this because just then the rest of our team crashed into us, making me release Alice, which made me realize that the previous exchange had happened in just a few seconds, but felt like minutes, like everything had slowed down.
"Bella's team is free to go change" we heard coach Clapp say, "the other team must do six laps around the basketball court before leaving." A groan from the other team was heard while we walked towards the locker rooms.
I was about to go into the locker room when I heard coach Clapp call my name, so I walked back towards him.
"Yes coach?" I said when I was in front of him.
"Seeing as your previous record in this class is not that great I thought that I could exempt you from this class for the rest of the semester after this incredible display of ability" coach Clapp said.
I didn't know if I should have been offended that he wanted to get rid of me or if I should have been gratefu,l because come on! A semester free of P.E? Hell yes! I tried to keep the smirk off of my face when I responded, "That would be awesome! Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure. You will have an A for the rest of the semester, now get out of here Swan" he said with a small smile on his face.
"Yes sir!" I said, and jogged towards the locker rooms to change. I was the only one there seeing as it was the last class of the day and everyone wanted to leave as soon as possible, I being one of those people, quikly changed my clothes, grabbed my stuff from my locker, and rushed towards the exit.
"Those were some impressive skills back there" I heard from behind me as I came out of the gym. I looked back only to see Alice leaning against the wall besides the door I just came through.
"Yeah well, I wouldn't get used to it" I said.
"Why not?" she said raising an eyebrow at me.
"Well for starters I'm not athletic at all" I said, which caused her to snort skeptically "No, I'm serious. That's the reason coach Clapp put you on the same team as I in the first place; because I usually end up taking out people from my team. Which is also why coach Clapp just exempted me from P.E for the rest of the semester." I finished with a smile.
"I see..." she said returning my smile. She was about to say something else when we heard someone calling her name. We both turned to see the owner of the voice and I saw the blonde curly haired guy from earlier in the cafeteria standing besides the silver Volvo from this morning waving at her. "I have to go" she said looking back at me.
"Yeah me too" I said, and we both started walking in the same direction seeing as our transportation devices were side by side. She looked at me with a quirk of an eyebrow and kept walking. When we got to my bike I stopped, and put my leather jacket on, "See you around?" it came out of me more as a hopeful question rather than a statement.
"You bet..." she said with a smile on her face. I smiled at her before putting my helmet on and backing out of my parking slot sparing a glance towards Alice who was watching me intently, before pulling out of the parking lot completely.
The trip home was uneventful, as always. I parked my baby on the garage, took off my helmet hanging it on the handle bars, and headed inside the house. I dropped my keys on the table besides the door, put my jacket on the coat rack besides the table, and headed upstairs to my room. Entering my room went straight to sit at my desk, dropping my back pack besides me, and turned on my computer. As soon as my computer finish loading I instantly open iTunes and fired up some music. Crawling from Linkin Park came blasting from the speakers and I began to sing along as I pulled my stuff from my back pack, and started doing my homework.
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling
I stopped doing what I had been doing when I felt a pull inside me. The song kept playing on the background.
I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure
I heard some rustling outside my window so I stood up and started walking slowly towards it.
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem.
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure
With my heart trying to beat out of my chest I looked out the window only to find a branch staring at me. I released the breathe I was holding and went back to my desk and my homework.
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
(Confusing what is real)
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling
(Confusing what is real)
I sat at my desk and kept trying to do my homework while music kept playing in the background. It turned out incredibly difficult to focus on my homework when all I could think about was a pair of honey eyes and a blinding smile, and the fact that every time I started to really focus I would feel this prickling on the back of my neck as if someone was watching me, which was incredibly creepy and somewhat impossible since my room was on the second floor. I shrugged off the feeling and went back to my homework thinking that I was being paranoid.
When managed to finish my homework I put everything I needed for the next day back on my back pack and then headed downstairs to make something to eat. I made some simple pasta with marinara sauce and ate in silence at the table. When I finished eating I washed the dishes that I used and went back up to my room. I threw myself on the bed and grabbed my ipod from my nightstand, because I just can't live without music in my life, and closed my eyes. There listening to music and with nothing else to do I finally allowed myself to go over my day, from the moment I met Emmett, to his weird behavior, to his interaction with Alice during art class, to actually meeting and talking to Alice, to her holding my hand all the way to gym, to my surprising show of athletic abilities, to Alices eyes changing color, to her smile, and finally to the feeling of being watched while doing homework, and came to the conclusion that today was one of those days that just didn't make sense, but that change your life forever. 'Like the day my mom died.' As soon as that thought came I opened my eyes and stood up so fast that I thought I was going to fall back because of all the blood rushing back to my brain, but nothing happened. I changed out of my clothes and into my pj's, turned off the lights, and got into bed. Thinking about my mom was my cue to stop thinking, so I closed my eyes.
'I hope tomorrow is not as weird as today...' was my last thought before I drifted off to sleep.
AN: There you go guys. A little bit longer than my previous chapters to compensate for the wait. You know what to do! Review and let me know what you guys think. :)
