Chapter 3: New Friend
I jerked up from my bed. It was a Monday and I hadn't heard my alarm clock go off. I looked at the clock, my eyes nearly bulging as I saw the numbers blinking, as if mocking me. What a way to start the morning, I thought as I rolled my eyes.
I slammed down on the clock and ran to the bathroom, splashing water on my face and brushing my teeth and then hair quickly. I ran back to my room, putting on my clothes quickly, along with my socks and shoes, grabbed my bag and was out the door in mere seconds.
I was going to be late, I told myself as I raced down the streets at an unusually fast speed for me. Just watch when I crashed into a tree, I thought as I laughed to myself. I made it into the parking lot, and as I looked at the clock, I saw that I still had two minutes to spare. If I hurried, I would make it, I thought smiling to myself.
I spied a parking space that was closet to the buildings and made over to it quickly without being too unsafe. Right when I was about to take the parking spot, a car flashed in front of mine and slid into the space easily. I groaned in frustration, mentally cursing at the teenager but then I realized it was a girl I did not recognize and she was just as worried as I was.
I rolled down my window and asked, "You're probably new here. The office is that way to get your slip and schedule. Either way, I'm sorry to say, you're going to be late," I said with a sincere tone.
"Aww! This is my first day too. I'm sorry I took your parking spot, I didn't notice you until the last minutes," said the stranger, a look of apology on her face.
"That's all right, I was going to be later anyway. How about I show you to the office and get you to your first class?" I suggested which made the girl grin with appreciativeness.
"I would like that—" she paused, not knowing my name.
"—Bella," I answered for her.
"Thanks Bella, I'm Kiki," said Kiki as she walked along the sidewalk to where I was to park. I parked quickly and got out to stand with Kiki. "How late did you wake up?"
"About seven minutes ago," I replied as I chuckled. If I had a faster car like the—stop it Bella, I thought to myself. No more. "You?"
"About the same. Ten minutes," said Kiki as I walked her to the office. We both laughed together as we entered the office. "Hi I'm new here," Kiki announced making Mrs. Cope to look up from her romance novel surprised.
"Oh, you're the new student. Hold on; let me print your schedule out. I'm sure Bella will explain the rest to you since she transferred here last year," said Mrs. Cope as she handed Kiki her things and we quickly left. (AN: Is that her name? I don't remember and I couldn't find it in the book. If she has no name, I have just found a name for her!)
"Okay, let's see what do you have first?" I asked as I looked at her paper. She had many if not all my classes, I cheered mentally. I knew already that she was going to be a good friend. "Perfect!" I said as I looked at her excitedly, "You have all the same classes I do."
"That's great! Now I don't have to feel awkward about not knowing anyone."
"Now when we get in each class, you will have to get all the teachers to sign this slip of paper," I explained pointing at the paper, "And some might try to announce your arrival to the whole class."
Kiki groaned, having the same reaction I did. Kiki and I quickly walked the rest of the way to our room and when we opened the door, we interrupted Mr. Berty's lecture for English. I apologized quickly, sitting down in a desk that had an empty seat next to it.
"Okay class we have a new student here today. Her name is Kierstin—" started Mr. Berty.
"—Kiki," Kiki she interrupted, correcting the name. Kiki easily made her way over to the seat next to mine. Mr. Berty ignored Kiki's act and greedily went on with his lesson.
Everything seemed to go by so fast until Kiki and I were finally at lunch with our trays of food. We were at their table because it seems like everyone is afraid of them. I didn't mind though as long as I didn't think about it too long.
"Well I must say, you have made these past few classes bearable," said Kiki as she started to eat her food. I nodded my head in thanks and focused on my apple and orange juice. Should I eat lunch today or not, I contemplated with myself. I guess I should, I thought as I took a bite of the apple.
The rest of the day went by faster than usual, considering Kiki and I had group projects in the rest of our classes and ended up being partners in every single one of them. In fact, as we got outside we were laughing; well more like I was laughing at her.
Mike had asked her out and I told her how hard it was for me to get him to lay off before he actually got the picture. Thank God Mike had directed his gaze elsewhere, I thought.
"It's not funny!" exclaimed Kiki in a angry voice, trying to contain her laughter, "He seems like he's a boy. Am I going to be nagged by him the whole year?"
"Well probably and then he might follow you to college too," I hinted with a laugh as Kiki groaned.
"Thanks a lot Bella. What a friend you are," Kiki said stomping off to her car. Before she got in though, she waved to me, a smile on her face and sped out of the parking lot.
I shook my head and smiled to myself. Kiki was really a wonderful person to hand out with. Right then, I felt a buzzing in my pocket. It was probably Jake I thought as I picked up the phone and said, "Yes Jake?" (AN: I don't think that Bella has a cell phone in the books but I got her one so live with it lol…)
"Hey Bella how was your day?" asked Jake, probably lounging on his couch and watching some TV. Oh and I could forget that he probably had snack piled high next to him.
"Good. I made a new friend. Her name is Kiki and she's new at my school. She's really nice and funny. I wish you could meet her. Maybe I'll invite her to the beach Saturday and we can meet up with the pack," I advised as I started my car and carefully pulled out.
"Yeah, all right. No signs of bad weather on the weekends here," said Jake in his usual happy voice.
"Are you going to be able to come over today or can I come over?" I asked in an excited voice.
"Sorry Bella, I'm working again," answered Jake in a miserable tone. I knew he didn't want to be away from me as much as I did him. It was like we were joined together at the hip.
"All right then," I answered, hearing the disappointment in my own voice. "I'll see you tomorrow then." I decided today it would be easier to hang up. A day without Jake was so hard, I thought to myself as I contemplated what I was going to do to keep myself busy at home.
I got home and immediately started the dinner, making a pork tenderloin with some rice and asparagus. It was easy enough but it would mean that I would have to sit and wait and I wasn't going to stand that.
I did chores around the house, finished my homework and other simple tasks before dinner was finally ready. By that time Charlie was home and I had already made a plate for him in my boredom.
I took some for me, piled the plate as low as I could without alerting Charlie I wasn't eating enough food. I ate my food quickly in the living room with Charlie, trying to distract myself from my thoughts.
"Charlie I'm going to go to bed; I'm tired," I stated and yawned for affect.
"All right, Bella. Have a nice sleep," Charlie responded without looking up from his game. I quickly ran up the stairs, washed my face, and brushed my teeth before getting into bed and immediately going to sleep.
At least tomorrow I was going to see Kiki was the last thought I had before I slipped into sleep.
