When I woke up, it was sunny. There weren't any clouds in the sky. I yawned, got up, and got dressed in my Hollister jean capris, a pink cami, and my purple (with pink eagles) zip up hoodie from American Eagle. Then I sprayed my favorite perfume, Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Strawberry Fizz perfume and put on my Strawberry Fizz lip-gloss before putting it in my front pocket. After I looked myself over in the mirror, I went downstairs to eat my breakfast, a granola bar. I wasn't ever that hungry for a full meal, so I always had something small. After that I brushed my teeth, grabbed my jacket and keys, slipped on my pink ballet flats, stepped outside, and locked the door.
I walked down the driveway to my shiny silver Volvo. I loved my car. It was just like Edwards. I got it after I finally convinced my dad that we needed new cars, so he got himself a Mercedes and I chose the Volvo. It took me 15 minutes to get to the school going 80 mph.
When I got there, the first thing I saw was that there weren't a lot of cars. Am I really that early? I thought to myself. I decided that it was better than being on time because I still needed my class schedule and my map. So I got out and walked until I found the building that said FRONT OFFICE. The second I stepped in I felt like I was going to suffocate; the room must have been about 85-90 degrees. There was a red haired woman sitting behind the counter. As I approached the desk, she looked up and gave me a warm smile. I smiled back and she said, "Name?"
"Lillian Bale. It's my first day and I need my class schedule and map."
"Ok. Here you go.
Oh, and you have to take this to all of your classes and get the
teachers to sign it. Have a nice day."
Before I turned around
to leave I replied, "Thanks. You too."
I was still really
tired, so I decided that I wasn't going to memorize the map and
schedule. I just looked it over once and realized that I had the
exact same schedule as Bella. Oh, well. I decided to push those
thoughts aside and I walked back to my car and just listened to the
radio until the parking lot was almost full. Then, I walked to my
English Lit class, which was in Building 3 and walked into an almost
full classroom. There was a short man at the blackboard writing Mr.
Mason. I handed him the slip and he signed it and immediately
turned back to the black board, never looking at me. I scanned the
room and found a desk in between a boy with russet colored skin and a
girl with brown curly hair. As soon as I sat down the girl turned to
me and said, "Hi, I'm Jessica Stammer. You can call me Jess. Are
you new here?"
"Hi, my name's Lilly. Yeah, I just moved
here from L.A."
"You look like you'd be from there. You're very pretty and tan."
"Oh. Thanks."
Suddenly, the russet colored skinned boy, who I assumed was from the reserve, turned to me and said, "Don't worry about her, she's just a busybody."
"Ugh. I am not! I've never seen her before so I figured she was new and that she'd want someone to talk to and hang out with."
"Whatever. I'm Jacob Black." He leaned across the aisle so I could shake his hand.
"Hi, Jacob." Wow. His hands are really warm. Why does his name sound so familiar? Oh, well. I thought.
"You can call me Jake."
"Ok. Jake." All of my nervousness was gone. Now my feeling that I was going to like it here was confirmed. Mr. Meson talking broke me out of my reverie.
"Here's our class reading list." Jake leaned across the aisle once more so that he could set the white piece of paper on my desk. I sighed; I had already read all of the books. "Right now we're on Harry Potter. We're talking about whether it should be banned or not."
"Well, Ms…. Bale." He said looking down his list. "What do you think about the "Ban Harry Potter" topic?"
"I think that there's no reason to ban Harry Potter. It's not trying to get anyone to try witchcraft. It never has Harry, Ron, Hermione, or anyone go around saying 'Magic is amazing. You should really try it' to muggles in the story. I believe the rule at the school is that they're not aloud to use magic outside of school, so wouldn't that be not promoting it?"
"Touché. Now, Mr. Black…" I stopped listening after that and just thought about the rest of my day. I was sort of looking forward to going to the rest of my classes and meeting people. I finally started paying attention when the bell started ringing, echoing through the hall, the door kind of muffling the sound. I started picking my books up when a little piece of paper fluttered down from my notebook. It said:
If you'd like someone to help you around, I'd be happy to help.
Jacob
I saw that Jacob was sitting in his seat looking at me, so I shook my head, telling him that I'd love to be shown around by him, after all, he seemed nice enough…and he was really cute. Jessica had finally collected her books and she asked me, "Do you need some help getting around?"
"No, that's ok. I've got it covered."
"Ok." She left, but not before giving me a funny look.
"What's your next class?" Jacob asked.
"Um…" I had to pull out my schedule. "Government in Building 6."
"Mine's in Building 7 so I can walk you there."
"Ok." I couldn't
think of anything else to say to him. I wanted to start a
conversation, but I didn't know what I could talk about.
Thankfully, he started talking.
"Why did you move here?"
"My dad's a doctor and he got transferred here."
"Oh, that's cool. Better than my dad."
"What does your dad do?"
He hesitated a moment before answering. "He used to be a cop."
"Used to be?"
"Yeah, he had an accident. One night he was chasing a guy out of a house and he went up on the roof and it was snowy. He fell and was paralyzed and decided to quit the force."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"It's fine, don't be. He's really no different then before. Well, here's Building 6. Have fun."
"Oh, I will, defiantly."
I stared at the door and then went inside.
The rest of the morning was boring. The rest of my morning classes were Trigonometry and Spanish, where I met Angela Weber and Mike Newton. I like Angela; she was really nice, but Mike Newton kept hitting on me and it was pretty annoying. The line that really annoyed and sickened me was when he said, "You know, there are 206 bones in the human body. Would you like one more?" School was very boring so far and I wanted to go back home, but what made everything better was that Jake met me after my classes and helped me around. We had the same Lunch period so we got our food, he got a whole tray full of food and I got a slice of pizza and a Diet Mountain Dew and sat with Angela and Jessica. I was looking around the cafeteria and noticed that there was a fully empty table, but I didn't dwell on the thought. Instead I thought about how I had the rest of the day ahead of me. Sooner than I'd like, the bell rang and it was time for Biology with Mr. Banner, which I had with Angela. We walked to class together and talked about random subjects and when we finally got there, she took her seat next to somebody who I didn't know and I had to go get Mr. Banner to sign my slip. After he did, I looked around the room, and there was one lab table open. I took my seat and spaced out. Luckily, the teacher didn't call on me.
Now I was headed to my last class of the day, Gym. Jake walked me to the gym and told me good luck.
"I'm going to need it. I'm really clumsy." Then I walked into the changing rooms and walked out after a couple of other girls had gone into the gym. Just my luck, we were playing basketball. By the end of class, I was very proud of myself. I only got hit in the head once and fell three times. As soon as class was done, I ran out of the gym, tripping over air, and changed. Then I walked out to see Jake leaning against my hood. "Sweet car." He was staring at it lovingly.
"Thanks. I like to go fast." I figured he didn't have to know the second reason why I bought it. Just then, Mike Newton came up to us.
"Lilly. I was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies with Jessica, Angela, Ben, Eric, and me? We're going tomorrow to the 7:45 show."
"Oh, well, I just told Jake that we could hang out. Would it be all right if he came?" Jake gave me a questioning look and I answered by giving him a "go along with it" look.
Mike looked slightly disappointed but agreed.
"Ok, so Friday night, 7:45? We'll meet you guys there." I was thankful that Jake was going along with this.
As soon as Mike was out of earshot, Jake turned to me. "Well, I guess I better go and get ready for tomorrow night."
"I'm sorry. I just didn't want to be mean and I didn't want to go. You were just right there. I have to go too. Bye Jake."
"Bye, Lilly."
On the ride home I couldn't think of anything but Jake.
