I knocked on the door with a shaking fist, kinda disappointed that Jasper had to leave me so quickly.
The door opened in a flash, so fast I could have sworn I saw a little flash of lightening.
The man who I assumed as the teacher asked me, "Young lady, may I ask, your name please?"
Hesitantly I stated my name quietly. "Uh... Bella Swan...Isabella Swan. Uh, are you Mr. Banner?"
He smiled brightly at me and said, "Yes I am. Well just a minute. I have to check and make sure you're in my class." He put on his glasses and held the clipboard up in front of him. "Swan, is it?" I nodded, and he took his index finger and started dragging it down the page. "Stanley...Stoke...Stuart...ah here we are. Isabella Swan."
He moved out from the doorway and waved his hand out in front of me, and gesture to walk in.
Okay Bella, you can do this, I thought to myself.
I took a step forward, walking into the classroom – playing the role of a cottontail rabbit – to a lot of hungry lions, waiting to pounce upon their prey.
Pictures of lions attacking their prey and ribs and red stuff everywhere just intruded my mind.
"Would you like to introduce yourself, Bella?" Mr. Banner asked. I quickly shook my head. "Okay, well, how about you sit...right.........there, right beside Mr. Mike Newton, please. Only if you don't mind."
Actually, I do mind. The boy name Mike Newton had brown stuff all over his face, and was eating something under his desk. He was pretty thick, too. I silently shook my head as everyone stared at me. I looked down as the teacher cleared his throat. "Well, Isabella –"
"Bella."
"Well, Bella, you can sit right there beside Jacob. He'll help you through the year, but only if you need any."
"Okay," I said as I made my way to sit beside this "Jacob" guy. I felt eyes boring into my back as I walked, but I tried my best to ignore them.
I sat down beside him, loudly dropping my tote on the floor by accident.
Anyway, this Jacob had nice, beautiful long hair. He almost made me want to braid it up. He had black, cold eyes, and russet-brown skin. He was very attractive, but just not as attractive as Jasper was.
"Hey, I'm Jacob...you must be the New Girl, obviously. Now, a couple tips of survival for this place. Number 1: Don't walk in the halls without a pass. Some 5th graders might come out of no where and start talking random horse manure about you, they can do this because they have the longest lunch period; number 2: This school is beyond rude and beyond mean, so don't talk to anyone you don't know, or there will be consequences; and number 3: Never wear black unless you're emo, or goth. 5th graders hate black, for some reason."
Wow. I blinked twice. "Has anyone ever thought about telling the principle or something?"
He shook his head and sighed, slouching back in his seat. "Anyone who's ever experienced any of that has never told anyone, because they knew that the 5th graders would find out and get really angry. That's why I make sure that I have a pass, don't wear black, and don't talk to anyone I don't know. I still have a couple bruises from some dudes hitting on me..."
"Oh my gosh...that's horrible..." I shook my head in disbelief. I wonder if Jasper ever did any of this... I hope he didn't. He was way too nice to do something horrible.
All of a sudden, he burst into laughter, throwing his head back and almost falling out of his seat. "I'm only kidding! Every grade has the same lunch period and recess time. Boy, did I have you!"
The teacher sent us a pointed glance. "Jacob, I expect you to follow the instructions on the board: Social Studies book, read pages seventeen through twenty. Most of you has had me last year, I expect you all to act like it. As for you, Miss Swan, I want you to do the same. Social Studies text book, pages seventeen through twenty."
"Okay," I said, picking up the thick text book in front of me. It was so heavy. But at least I only had to read three pages. When I turned to page seventeen, the chapter was called, "The Start of WWI". I did not want to learn about World War One, but apparently, I had to.
Once the whole class was done reading, we started on math.
Oh, I just love math. It's my favorite subject.
We were working on multiplication and division. How weird for me that Addition had become more difficult now that I'm very familiar with multiplying.
Mr. Banner wrote problems of both on the chalk board, and he wanted us to solve them. He gave out candy to whoever got them right, and I was one of those lucky people.
After math, we moved on to science. He had to talk about the food chain, and different animals being a carnivore; omnivore; and herbivore.
Then, we learned about mimicking and camouflage, which I don't really see a difference between the two.
After science, it was time for lunch. Gosh, I was so hungry, all I could think about was eating. I grabbed my purse and walked out of the classroom, my head down. I watched as my feet kept disappearing under my white skirt, suddenly feeling someone tap my shoulder.
I turned around to find a smiling Jasper, and I smiled back.
"How was your day so far?" he asked. But before I could respond, someone else answered for me.
"Oh, it was just fabulous, thanks for asking," Emmett said.
"Emmett, can't you tell she's afraid of your colossal-ness? I mean, look at her. Every time you come near her, she shakes."
I looked up at Emmett really quickly, then looked back down, and cringed into the arm of Jasper.
"What did you say to her to make her cry?" Jasper asked him.
"I said –"
"Hey Emmett," I flirtatious voice said. I turned to the direction of it, and looking the person up from the toe-showing heels the the blond hair on her head. She waved at him, then continued her steps, swaying her hips in a real attractive way.
Emmett's jaw dropped. "Yo Jasper, what do I do to get a nice honey like that." He pointed at the girl, still looking at Jasper.
He shook his head. "Emmett, that's Rosalie. She's as gross and nasty as Lauren Mallory but hey, if you want to be with her then go ahead. Don't say I didn't warn you. Now move, I have to escort Bella to lunch."
We walked past Emmett, on our way to the double doors ahead of us.
"You can sit anywhere you want, but I prefer you sit with me so you know how to survive this school the whole time you're here," he said in my ear. "You have paper and pencil?"
I nodded silently as we moved closer to the double doors.
"Okay. Now, when we walk in here, do not look around. That'll make everyone talk about you. Just go straight the the lunch line, okay?"
I nodded again as we paused at the double doors.
"Alright, here we go."
