Chapter Three: Clocks (Time ran out… now what?!)
I found the school easily enough. In a town this size, I found everything easily enough. It helped that Charlie bought me a car. It was silver 2005 Chevy Cobalt. It was awesome!
When I got parked, I glanced up and realized that no one was there.
Well then, I guess I was early. More time for me!
What felt like a minute later, something knocked against my window.
I glanced up to see a pale white hand and got out. It must be time for school.
"Am I late?" I wondered.
"You'll be right on time. The office is when you go in."
"How did you know I was new here?"
"Deductive reasoning. Your car is the only new one I've ever seen around here, besides ours, so I figured you'd be the good Chief's niece."
"Thanks for the warning." I mumbled as he held the door open to the office.
"That too."
"Anytime," He offered.
He turned to leave, but froze, as if he remembered something.
"Isabella," He had whirled around so quickly I knew for sure that it was him. Good.
"Yeah?" I muttered from the desk as the woman gave me my schedule and everything else I'd need.
"I would be careful if I were you." He murmured. I nodded and thanked the secretary, Mrs. Cope.
By the time I turned to walk out, he was gone. I sighed.
This would end badly.
The bell hadn't rung yet, so people were still milling around, standing by lockers when I walked out of the office. A pale boy with blond hair and blue eyes was talking to another boy who was obviously some type of Asian. Not full, but I could just make it out in the shape of his face.
"I bet you couldn't bag her by the end of the day, Newton." The Asian boy sneered. Newton smirked.
"You're on, Eric, chicks dig the Mikester!"
Wow… I sincerely hope he's not related to Isaac Newton… that surely would be a shame.
"Hey, New Girl!" He hollered. I turned and kept walking. He clearly wasn't talking to me.
"Yo, I'm talking to you!"
Idiot doesn't know when to stop, does he?
"HEY!" He shouted.
THAT'S IT!
I whipped around to face him. He was completely oblivious to the cold glare that had morphed from the impassive look I normally wore.
"You're lucky enough to be my date to the movies tomorrow." He smirked.
I rolled my eyes and spoke slowly.
"First of all, that's not how you talk to a girl. I have a name. Don't bother using it though; I'm obviously out of your league. Second of all… DON'T SCREAM IN MY EARS!" I spat.
Mike gaped in shock.
"That hurt, didn't it?"
He nodded.
"You get the message then."
He nodded and I was on my way, with several others gaping after me.
Looks like I hurt more than his hearing.
Now I'm sitting at lunch with a nice girl called Angela and her friend Ben. The other boys had all howled with laughter at Mike's fail and had practically shoved eachother to sit with the new girl.
Across the cafeteria I could see five figures sitting at a shadowed table that was obviously separated. So the vampires don't play well with others, do they? Four sat and talked, but one was wolfing down food from a lunch bag. He was done and had asked the others if they wanted their food. They looked at him like he was crazy and the tiny girl pushed her tray toward him. I've told him time and again to stop starving himself…
The rest of lunch went smoothly enough and it was in Biology that I encountered my problem.
"Hello, you must be Isabella Swan," The man looked to be in his late thirties, and stressed out, judging by the little grey hairs that are scattered around the sea of black.
"Bella." I corrected promptly.
"Well then, you can sit beside Mr. Cullen." I glanced up and froze for a second. This wouldn't work out well for either of us.
A bronze-hair boy who looked to be 17 with smoldering honey eyes waved me over.
"I'm Edward Cullen. I think this year might be better than usual." He smirked.
No… this wouldn't be good for either of us.
So... moving into the main plot a bit more. Before that was just an introduction. Am I the only one who likes an OOC Bella? Song for this one is Clocks by Coldplay. I love them!
Review, my friends! And remember that kindness makes the world go round.
