Chapter Three
Anna
I woke up on the cool grass the next morning. I checked the time on my phone and sighed in relief when it said '5:42'. School doesn't start for about another two hours. That gives me enough time to take a shower and dry my hair. I quickly ran to my Jeep and jumped in. I started up the car and quickly drove home.
I quietly snuck in through the front door and headed up to my room. I heard the shower going and I quietly cursed. I still hurried to my room and closed the door behind me. 'It seemed as if no one noticed that I was gone.' I felt a sharp pang in my chest at that thought. I felt tears come to my eyes but I quickly wiped them away. This wasn't anything new. Charlie never even knew that I snuck out of the house. I shouldn't even expect Bella to notice either.
I sighed and went to my closet to choose my clothes. I picked out a dark blue pair of jeans and a black pullover hoodie with the words 'Vampires Suck!' in jagged red letters and a fanged mouth with red lipstick opened, like it was ready to bite. I set them on my bed and grabbed my towel. The shower stopped awhile ago so I quickly walked to the bathroom and jumped into the shower.
A few minutes later, I got out and checked the time. It was 6:13 so I rushed to get dressed. I ran to my room and bumped into Bella on my way there. I muttered an apology and ran into my room. I threw on my underwear and clothes before going to blow dry my hair. It took about a half hour to do so, but it was worth it. It looked so full and shiny, I loved it! I looked at the time again. '6: 43 ' I sighed and threw on my knee high black boots before grabbing my bag and keys. I heard a truck pull up and Charlie called Bella downstairs.
'That must be Jacob with Bella's new car.' I thought before grabbing a water bottle and running out to my car. I ignored the small crowd near the bright orange pick up and got into my glossy black jeep. I started the car and began driving to hell- I mean school. I sighed as I parked. My stomach growled loudly as I got out. I sighed and planned to get something to eat at lunch. Everyone's eyes were drawn to me as I hurriedly ran towards the doors.
Bella pulled up after I got to the doors and everyone's eyes turned to Bella. I sighed thankfully, feeling a pang of understanding as she uncomfortably walked towards the door. I walked to the office and asked for my slips that I was supposed to get. I needed to give them to the teachers in the senior classes.
I didn't know why, but that's what the guidance counselor told me to do. I hurried to my first class after getting my slips, which was senior's History. I entered and sighed in relief when there was only the teacher and one guy sitting in the back.
I handed the slip to him and he nodded before telling me to find a seat. I decided to sit in the far back, which happened to be next to...Robin Cullen?! I didn't know how I couldn't recognize him. How could I miss his unmistakable black spiky hair?! He gave me a curious look with his golden eyes before opening his mouth.
"You're a junior aren't ya? Why're ya in 'er?" He said with an Irish accent. I blushed and stuttered out,
"I-I guess I g-got good e-enough grades." I said lamely. He raised an eyebrow before chuckling.
"You're cute ya know that?" He said and he laughed some more when my whole face turned cherry tomato red. I gave him a half-hearted glare before taking out my History notebook. He chuckled again before taking out his stuff. 'Erika's gonna be so shocked!' I thought excitedly. Erika always admired the Cullens and would have done anything to learn more about them.
Students came in and all of them stared at me. I felt myself begin to panic and my heart rate picked up speed. My hands began shaking and I felt like I was gonna throw up. All of a sudden, I felt my panic and fear go away. All that was left was a feeling of calmness. I blinked and something made me turn to my left.
I looked at Robin and he was looking back at me. He gave me a small smirk before turning back to the teacher as he addressed the class. He called my name and internally I was nervous. However, outwardly I had a blank face and voice while I did my introduction. I sat down as soon as I was finished and the teacher began class.

Anna
Class was boring as fuck. The teacher's voice was monotone and annoying. I practically bolted when class was dismissed but was stopped when I felt someone grab my wrist. I turned around and was surprised to see Robin.
"I never caught ya name." I blushed at the attention we were getting but whispered my name. He smiled and let go of my wrist.
"See ya la'er then Anna." He said smirking as he walked off. I got some jealous and curious stares from most of the kids in the hallways but ignored them and went to my next class, and one of my least favorites. English.
I sighed as I entered into class and handed the teacher my slip. I was the only one in the class so I took a seat at the far, far back. I instantly missed Erika. We shared most of our classes last year, but this year we only had two classes with each other, one of them being a free period and the other being Creative Writing. The difference in classes only made me miss her even more. Luckily, she would be back on Friday. Just another four days until she comes back. I can make it till then! I nodded determinedly and grabbed my phone from out of my bag. I plugged in my headphones and turned on my music.
They're coming creeping from the corner
And all I know is that I don't feel safe
I feel the tapping on my shoulder
I turn around in an alarming state
What am I losing my mind~?
I really think so
Not a creature in sight~
And what you don't know-
I felt a tap on my shoulder and jumped up. I took out my earbuds and looked at the person who tapped me.
"Hi, I'm Alice Cullen! I can just tell that we're gonna be great friends!" She said giving me a huge smile. I blinked, what is with me and the Cullens? First Robin, now Alice? They never talked to me before, what's got them so interested in me now?
What the heck is going on?
