I would like to warn you of the OoCness that will be found in this story. One complaint that it's OoC, I will throw a tantrum. Hahaha. :) Love you all. But I'll love you more if you review. ;)
So basically, Bella here isn't shy. She's just…normal and not THAT clumsy, I mean she can do sports decently, but she still has her clumsy moments. I based her off my friends and I (who, coincidentally acts just like my BETA and her friends as well! Ahaha. Thanks for everything Skweek!) Because it will be easier for me to continue the story and characterize Bella, thus faster update!
Btw. Jake and the La Push gang are in Forks High. Remember…no werewolves or vampires? Just humans. Plus, I don't want to make Jessica and Lauren be best friends with Bella because they are Edward junkies. Plus, Leah is best friends with Bella. Emily will probably be a bitchy bitch here. Niayaha. :) Basically this is a very stereotypical view of a high school. But hey I think every high school has this. I know mine has.
I think this chapter sucks. But I just had to find a way to introduce Bella. Next chapters might be longer. :)
Chapter 2
If we compare school stratification to medieval England…
Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and Alice would be the noblemen and women.
Now what we have here are the "peasants."
The normal ones.
The outcasts would probably be called slaves. Or prisoners of war...
Isabella Swan or Bella as she is preferred to be called, is normal. She's not an over achiever, not a part of any varsity or organization. She's just Bella. She doesn't consider herself extraordinarily pretty, like Rosalie or Alice, with her long, wavy brown hair or doe brown eyes or pale complexion. She's just Bella.
Angela is her best friend. Blond and tall and nice. She never fails to keep Bella sane. She first met Bella when she shared her milk with Angela when hers fell onto the ground.
Jake Black is an old friend of Bella from her childhood days (her dad is best friends with his dad). Jake has a rebellious streak, sometimes cutting classes because he got too lazy.

Bella Swan was walking in the hallways of listening to her Sony Ericsson Walkman phone while singing with Rooney.
"I have you and you have me…." she trailed. Till she stopped in front of her locker. Her friend, Angela Weber was already there in the locker right beside her's.
Angela was looked like she was mouthing something to Bella, who looked at her curiously. Angela pointed to her ears. Bella grinned sheepishly before taking her earphones off.
"Singing to 'When Did Your Heart Go Missing?' again Bella?" Angela sighed.
"Yup. When did your heart go missing?" she sang again, amused. "So what were you saying earlier?" Bella asked, looking down at her earphones.
"They had to be noise isolating." Angela sighed, Bella grinned.
"It…enhances the musical experience."
"You and your reasons. Tsk tsk."
"What did I do now?"
"Nothing. I was just asking if you did the homework on Spanish?"
"We had homework in Spanish?" Bella asked incredulously.
"Yes, that one in the worksheet Ms. Sanchez gave us."
"Oh. Erm, I can always do that in Lunch or Homeroom….or I could copy from you." Bella gave Angela a puppy pout. Angela looked away.
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please? With sprinkles and ice cream on top?"
Angela gave in and sighed. "Alright, alright. Just stop giving me that face. With your lazy attitude, the grades you get never fail to astound me."
Bella shrugged. She was just an average student. But she knew she could do better. If she turned in all the work that was given to her, she'd be an honor student, but she's basically too lazy to do anything, so she just does well in class. Recite. Get high quiz scores. And do projects or homework that she doesn't find boring. But mostly she just spends her time not studying. Instead she browses the web, download songs, chat, playing that online game World of Warcraft, or you can see her nose up in a book, even during classes (Ms. Jameson still hasn't given her Pride and Prejudice back yet. Tsk tsk). Or spending some time with her friend at her house, the mall or any of her other friends' houses.
"Well, it's a good thing we have all classes together," Bella said as she opened her locker to get out her Trig book. "Where are the others?"
"Let's see. Jake's most probably with Quil Ateara and Embry Call, Leah is with her boyfriend Sam, Eric is somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight."
"Oh. Alright. Wanna head to Trig already? You know how bitchy Mr. Varner can get when we're late. He goes, Oh Ms. Swan, Ms. Weber why are you late? Don't you have some sense of urgency? What happens if there's a fire? Would you still be walking like you're walking in some garden? I think not. Now you better hurry up because your tardiness is disrupting my class. Go on. Move, move. Faster." Bella dropped her voice in an attempt to sound like her Trigonometry teacher, Angela rolled her eyes at her best friend. You just don't know what goes in and out of Bella's mind.
Randomness is never a bore.

Angela and Bella arrived just in time when the bell rang. Mr. Varner was already at the desk, waiting for everyone to settle down.
He finally stood up and started to talk. "Good morning class. Today we're going to discuss laws of sine and co--"
Just as he was about to finish his statement, there goes Eric Yorkie, panting by the door.
"Sorry I'm late Mr. Varner, I had to pass by the--" Eric said as he held out his tardy slip.
"Mr. Yorkie, what are you doing just standing there? Don't you have some sense of urgency? What happens when there is a fire? Would you still be walking like you're taking some wondrous stroll in the gardens? I think not. Now you better hurry and find your seat, you're disrupting my class. Go on. Move. Faster now." Mr. Varner told Eric. Ah the famous Varner prep talk to tardy students.
Bad for you Eric. Shudidu.
Bella stifled a giggle while Angela rolled her eyes, signing to Eric to sit beside them. Eric glanced at Bella as he sat on his chair, beside Angela.
"I'm glad to provide you this morning's entertainment Bells," Eric said as he scrunched up his face.
"Thanks Eric! Hey, you should feel better; at least I won't be falling asleep in Trig today." Bella grinned at him.
"Bella just did the Varner prep talk earlier. Never really expected for him to do it today. Thanks to you." Angela was beginning to stifle a laugh as well.
"Gee thanks guys," Eric said sarcastically as Varner continued with his lesson on the laws of sine and cosine.
"As always Eric." Bella remarked.
Eric sighed as he brought out his notebook and began writing down notes. "Some friends you guys are…"
"What are you two doing?" Bella peeked at Eric and Angela.
"It something you wouldn't know Bells, it's called copying notes," Angela responded.
"Oh what is this 'copying notes' you speak of?" Bella mocked.
"Something we know you wouldn't do." Bella nodded and grinned. Indeed, copying notes was something she's not fond of doing.
"Hello? What are the textbooks for? And why were Xerox machines invented?" Bella mocked exclaimed. "You see? I'm here to put modern technology to good use." She grinned, her two best friends could not do anything besides shake their heads.
The bell can ring anytime now…
