Then next morning, Chel and I got up bright and early, so we would be awake and in control when we went to school. We ate a quick breakfast, just a granola bar washed down with Mountain Dew (A/N BEST EVER!) And with that, we set off to school in the Honda, our bags were both black and awesome. We headed to the central office, and saw the lady at the counter.
"We're Bella and Chelsea Swan!" I said brightly, and her eyes lit with understanding. Of course we had to be the only new kids in this small of a town, in the middle of the semester. At least we wouldn't be behind… We'd been moving around the country, with some nomads Charlie had known. They'd been like siblings to us, they'd often been at our gigs. They were pretty much honorary members of our band. As we went to our first class, which was English, we gave our slips to the teacher to sign(don't remember his name…) and he had us sit wherever we wanted. We heard the rustle of fabric and saw EVERYONE turn to look at us. The class passed quickly. On the way to our next class, a boy with black hair caught up with us.
"Hey, I'm Eric." he said.
"Hello." we said at the same time. "I'm Bella,"
"and I'm Chelsea!" We said, sounding like we were one person with two names, our introduction sounded like one sentence, no hesitation. We did this every time we met someone new. It usually unnerved them. It did Eric.
He looked kind of freaked out and offered to take us to our next class, which we also had together. The only classes we didn't have together were the two periods after lunch. I had Biology then Gym, and she had Gym, then Biology. The rest of our morning passed rather quickly, and we went off to lunch, ushered to a table by a boy named Mike Newton, and a girl named Jessica Stanley.
As we walked in, we smelled the LAST thing we would want to smell on our first day at a new school: other vampires. We froze for a fraction of a second, but kept walking, no human would have noticed. They might have though. We glanced around, their gazes said they did notice, and I automatically shielded Chelsea. Just in case. We carefully acted like there was nothing strange going on. Mike was staring at Chelsea.
Chelsea glanced over and pointedly looked away. She looked to the right, and ended up looking over at the 5 vampires.
"who are they?" She asked.
Jessica and I glanced over. I hid a grimace. One of them- the one with reddish-brown hair- looked over. He stared for a bit, then turned back to his siblings, and I heard, "Stanley's telling the new kids all anyone knows about us." I hoped my eyes didn't look too hostile. But a blonde haired boy frowned, and they all turned toward him. "the new kids are feeling a bit wary… and hostile?" He said the last part as a question. They talked for a bit, considering whether we knew. Of course we knew. But they would have no way to tell if we knew.
"The Cullens." Jessica said, sighing. "The big one is Emmett, he with Rosalie, the blonde. The little black-haired one, Alice, is with Jasper, the blonde guy, he's Rosalie's brother. The bronze haired one," I could see her getting kind of excited, like she liked him, "Is Edward. He's the only single one. But he doesn't date. Apparently no one here is good enough for him." Jessica said. I wondered when he'd turned her down.
We sat down, and mike and Jessica were chattering at us. We were laughing at appropriate moments, but we were also talking under our breath to each other.
"What should we do?" I asked.
"well, I say we see if we have any classes with them, and talk to them there." Chelsea said.
"yeah, but how would we talk to them?
"How are we talking now?"
"Oh, duh…"
"You are so slow sometimes."
"Hey, I'm a little quicker than you!"
"Yeah, in math, but that's academic."
I tried not to pout, it would be childish.
Lunch also passed quickly and I forced a smiled as I walked into Biology. I smelled the bronze haired one, Edward, and as I passed a fan in the classroom, he stiffened, and suddenly looked very predatorial. I shook a tiny bit with suppressed laughter. I gave the slip to Mr. Banner, and was ushered to the seat next to him. He looked murderous, and I was struggling not to laugh.
The class period passed quickly and he stood up a fraction of a second before the bell rang. I stood up slower, happy that I'd gotten to talk to him. I met up with Chelsea in the hallway.
"you smell like a full, which one?" she asked as we made our way to our lockers.
"Eddie." I said, finding a nickname for him. "He's thirsty."
We laughed, as we parted ways, "Bye!"
I enjoyed gym, any class I could run, maybe not full speed, but at least go semi-fast, was a fun class. I was recommended for the track team, but I declined, saying I would be too busy with family stuff.
Mya and I met at the office, hearing Edward asking for another science period, anything but sixth hour Biology. We were giggling quietly about it a we walked in. He turned at the sound and said, "Never mind, I'll just have to endure it." We struggled to keep from laughing harder, and handed her our slips.
"How was your first day, dears?"
"It was fine, Ms. Cope!" we said in perfect unison, unnerving her once again.
We loaded into the Honda, and saw a silver Volvo, that we suspected was him, tearing out of the parking lot. We burst out laughing.
"this is more fun than I thought it would be!" I laughed as we drove out of the parking lot, "Other vampires being here is funny, instead of threatening."
"Especially since they have no way of figuring out what we are, unless we tell them, or they see us hunting, etc." Chelsea laughed as well. We got in the door, finished our homework, and munched on some pancakes, and washed it down with the best drink in existence, second to blood, Mountain Dew. We crashed as soon as we could, and the next day at school, he wasn't there. The rest of them were, but he wasn't. He wasn't there for the rest of the week either.
We laughed the weekend away, while they remained confused, and on Monday, at lunch, he was there.
