Yeah, yeah, we all get it, it all belongs to Stephenie meyer… : )
Chapter 3
I hadn't really thought about the first day of school too much. Since Alice, Edward and I were supposed to still be 15 for a while (my "birthday" would be in 2 weeks) Emmet would drive us to school in the mornings. But then there was the minor problem of us not fitting in one car so after much persuasion, Alice and Jasper would be allowed to ride together.
I was lying in Edwards arms when Edward suddenly kissed me and said
"If you don't get up now Alice will run in here and play Bella Barbie for hours on end, even missing on your first day of school."
"Oh, yeah, school… Do we really have to go there? I mean couldn't we just stay home and start tomorrow?" I answered
"Sorry, not going to happen, Carlisle would be rather angry."
When I finally made it down the stairs Alice ran in to me from behind
"Gee, Alice! I can pick my own clothes…"
"No, you can't, because you'd always some ratty old sweats and T-shirt. And Besides I always plan the outfits for the whole family for the first day. And since it's your first time through High School as a vampire, it's extra special."
She dragged me into her over sized bathroom, she had piled all her beauty products onto her marble counter, all of them promised to make your skin natural looking and softer etcetera etcetera…
I never understand where she got her energy for doing all this stuff every single day, but I guess Alice will be Alice. She curled my hair in a way that it was very natural looking and flowed down my back. She also applied a bit of mascara and said.
"Now Bella, I planned your whole series of outfits into your closet, there is a shelf that says Monday, take anything I've put on there and wear it."
I was pretty sure that it isn't in anybody's best interest to argue with Alice so I just went with her.
There were some very dark blue denim skinny jeans, with black boots, and a brown belt. There also was a blue and white striped shirt that looked very good on me.
When I got downstairs Alice mumbled something about how perfect she is in designing outfits but I didn't bother to listen very carefully. I noticed that the whole family was assembled in our oversized living in a loose semi circle. I went there and noticed that Esme had some kind of parcel in her hand. I had absolutely no idea why everyone was there but I had a faint idea that it had something to do with me. Esme handed whatever it was to Carlisle and he walked forward and said
"You must be wondering why we're all here at once, but this is quite important to our family." I looked around and noticed that all eyes were on me, I got embarrassed and I was sure I would've blushed if it were possible. Carlisle continued:
"We thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to give you a present of sorts." He then handed me the box. I looked at it for a moment wondering what it could be, I just didn't understand. When I had peeled the wrapping off it I had just a plain cardboard box in my hands. I just stared at everyone, they all looked like they were waiting for my reaction. That's when Emmet said:
"Just open it already, it's nothing scary!"
When I lifted the lid I saw the most exquisitely carved locked made of white gold on a necklace. After a while of just looking at it I finally figured out that it is the Cullen Crest. It was very similar to the one Rosalie had, but still very different. Then Carlisle said:
"We hadn't gotten anything with our crest on it because we didn't know what you'd want, but then we settled on something that we were sure you would love."
"Oh my god, It's beautiful! Now I really truly feel like a Cullen, Thank You Carlisle, Esme and everyone." Then one by one I hugged everyone. When I finished the round I was told that it was time to leave for school.
Since Emmet was driving we apparently had to take the Jeep because it had the Greatest stereo ever… The ride to school was very short, because like all of us Emmet drives like a maniac.
When we got to the Parking lot, there was no one there yet, I guess we were here quite early. Then I saw Astoria High School for the very first time. It was a big and probably quite old building by the look of it. It was made of Red bricks. We followed the signs that said office and came to the first floor of the building. The office was right by the door on the right.
When we walked in Alice said in her usual happy voice
"Hello! We are new students and our dad Carlisle Cullen enrolled us all. My name is Alice Cullen and I'd like to get my timetable." A friendly looking lady gave us our timetables and a map with the best route highlighted to each class. I compared my time table with Edwards we both had the same except for one lesson, Edward didn't have Drama he had Music.
Edward & Bella:
Trigonometry
Chemistry
Social Studies
Drama / Music
LUNCH
Biology
Gym
Cooking
I had absolutely no idea why anyone would put me in the cooking class, but the fact that Edward would be there comforted me. When we walked of to Trig we were welcomed by an abnormally excited teacher with the name Mrs. Solster. Then I said:
"Were new students, my name is Bella Masen and this is Edward Cullen"
"You can go sit over there, and here are your books, try to keep up. Oh yeah, if you don't understand something don't hesitate to ask." She pointed at 2 desks in the middle of the room.
Edward suddenly looked very tense
"Hey, what's wrong? you seem very tense"
"It's just the thoughts all over the room, you see that boy with the greasy blond hair who's really short?"
"Yeah, what about him?"
"Well, let's just say he is having some very repulsive thoughts about a certain Married lady."
"Its fine Edward, You know that I'll only ever love you, so relax, so let's just TRY to listen to some of the teaching."
The rest of the lessons before lunch, except for the one lesson without Edward went by without any incidents. On the Drama lesson the same greasy haired Blonde boy walked up to me and said
"Hello, my name is James, James Landler, would you like want to go out on a date with me, I know this great restaurant" I noticed that he was trying to be really seductive with his voice but I didn't fall for it. "Yeah, I'm not sure if you noticed but I have a BOYFRIEND, whom I love. So why the hell would I go out with you?" I replied and stormed off. I turned around to see him, vampire speed of course, and saw that he had a dumb founded expression on his face. But somehow I still got the feeling that he would not give up. I'm going to have to talk to Emmett about it, I'm SURE he will figure something out.
