I woke up early the next morning stretching out my muscles from sleeping in a cramped tent. After having a good hunt that night and sleeping with a full stomach though I couldn't complain. All I had to worry about was surviving my first day at Forks high school. Oh and to act normal and not get suspected by the Cullens for being different. Yup going to be an interesting day.
When I finished stretching I got dressed in my last somewhat clean clothes, ripped blue jeans, a black Paramore shirt, and a red flannel shirt. What can I say I have no style and am a tomboy. I really needed to wash my clothes tonight in either a river or a really cheap laundromat. I grabbed my last granola bar for the road and started my quick and easy jog to "my motel".
Once I arrived I sat down on the curb and munched on my breakfast of champs granola bar. The Cullens must have the best on time record in the world because as soon as I took my last bite of my breakfast a silver Volvo pulled up. As I approached I noticed that today the two Cullen children I didn't get to interact with today I would be riding with. Edward was driving and next to him in the passenger seat was Jasper. I climbed into the back seat where a bright smiling Alice sat.
"Good morning Cam" Alice said in a bright energetic voice.
"Good morning Alice" I responded with a smile. "Morning Edward and Jasper."
"Morning" the two replied. I noticed Edward was staring at me intensely through the rearview mirror. It was really starting to creep me out when Alice saved me.
"So you ready to be the new student at Forks" Alice said with a smirk. She obviously had an idea of what I was getting myself into.
"Well as ready as I will ever be" I replied. "You will save me from the big bad kids though right?" I asked trying to keep a straight pleading face.
"No worries" she giggled patting my leg. "I will save you from the big bad kids." I noticed than we were pulling into the school parking lot and parking next to a red BMW. Rosalie and Emmet were standing outside next to it. I assumed with Rosalie being such a mechanic and the color I would bet the car is hers.
I sighed as I exited thinking here we go. As I got out I noticed the parking lot and schoolyard was still pretty empty so we had arrived early. While I was glancing around my surroundings Alice had come around to my side. Looping her arm in mine she said "Come on Cam I'll take you to the office to get your schedule" and started towing me towards to the school.
I was shocked by her actions but at the same time felt relieved with her next to me. I followed along with my eyes averted and trying to ignore the whispers from the other students. Wondering who I was and about me riding with the Cullens. Once we reached the office Alice did the talking for me and got my schedule from the lady at the front desk.
"Here is your schedule Cam" she said as we exited the office. I smiled my appreciation and glanced down at the sheet with my schedule. It didn't look too bad. I had math, history, english, lunch, biology, study hall, and gym. I think I could live with this. After done glancing at my schedule Alice had looped her arm in mine again and was towing me along.
"I'll show you to your first class. We have history, biology, and lunch of course together. Isn't that great?" she said with a smile.
"Thank you and yeah that's a relief to have a familiar face in some of my classes" I replied.
Once we reached which must have been my destination Alice let go of my arm and I couldn't help be a little sad she did and was leaving me. "Well this is your stop I will see you in enlgish" she said as she skipped down the hallway.
"Yeah thanks" I mumbled even though she was halfway down the hallway. I took a big breath and entered the classroom. It was already filled with students so I walked up to teacher to sign this slip I needed them all to sign and hand in at the end of the day. I mumbled a "Hello" and handed the woman my slip.
She glanced at the slip signed it and gave it back. "Hello, you can take the empty seat in the back. I will have a book ready for you tomorrow so you will have to share today."
"Thank you" I nodded and started walking to the back with my eyes to the ground. I could already hear the other students whispering about me. When I reached the back empty seat it was next to a girl with long brown hair and glasses. She smiled politely to me "I'm Angela" she said as I took my seat.
"Cameron, but call me Cam" I replied with a small smile of my own. We made small talk during class and Angela let me copy her notes. I stuck with my fake story that I told the Cullens leaving out the Cullens and how we met. I really liked Angela she seemed really sweet and like we could be good friends.
As class was ending and I was packing up my stuff "You want to sit with me and my friends with lunch?" she asked.
I liked the idea of sitting with her but I didn't know if I was supposed to eat with the Cullens or find my own. Alice never said anything so I probably shouldn't assume she might want me at her table. "Yeah I would like that thank you" I responded.
Angela was nice of to show me to my next class since it was on her way. Once I walked in and had the teacher sign my slip I glanced around the classroom. It was then I noticed Alice sitting by herself in the back row. She smiled and gave me a small wave. I smiled back and once I got my slip I headed for the back and took the empty seat next to her.
"So how did your first class go" she asked.
"Not too bad I think. I made a friend and she wanted me to sit with her at lunch today" I replied.
Her face slightly saddened with the news I told her. "Oh that's good. I kind of thought you would sit with me and my family at lunch though" she replied.
"I'm sorry I didn't know if you want me to or not. I kind of thought your family get sick of me. I can sit with you tomorrow" I added with hopes it would cheer her up.
She seemed to brighten up with that answer. "Silly, were not sick of you! We just met and are getting to know one another. You better sit with us tomorrow now I'm holding you to it" she replied.
"Good" was all I could reply because the teacher decided to start class than. Class seemed to pass by too fast for my liking. I was so comfortable and relax sitting next to Alice and breathing in her honey and chocolate scent. I was beginning to really enjoy Alice's company and didn't want it to come to an end. When the bell rang I gathered up my stuff and Alice looped arms with again and was kind enough to show me to my next class english. As we approached the class again she dropped my arm.
"Jasper will be in your english class. I will see you in biology" she said as she skipped down the hallway again.
"Okay cya than" I responded sad to see her go. I walked in and handed over my slip. Once I got my slip back I noticed that once again there only one empty seat and it was in the back next to Jasper. I beginning to think the Cullens sit by themselves. As I took my seat I gave a Jasper a small smile "Hey Jasper".
Jasper gave me a struggled small smile back "Hello Cam" he replied. We sat through enlgish class without saying another word sitting in comfortable silence next to each other. When class ended I said a small goodbye and we headed in our separate ways.
I was kind of nervous for lunch to sit with Angela and her friends. Angela seemed very nice but I wasn't sure about her friends. I entered the cafeteria and got in line. I was only able to get a slice of pizza and apple with the money I had. Not nearly enough to tide me over but it was all I could afford. As I paid for my food I glanced around the cafeteria looking for Angela. I found her waving at me from a table and walked over.
"Hey" I said as I sat down in the seat next to her.
"Hey" she responded back. "Hey guys this is Cam. Cam this is Mike, Jessica, Lauren, Tyler, and Eric. They all greeted me and I greeted them back. Angela than started filling them in about me from what she learned in class. I took that time to start eat my lunch and glance around the cafeteria. It was then I saw the whole Cullen gang stride in. It's still memorizing to see them. They are all so beautiful especially Alice.
"I see you noticed the Cullens" the girl named Jessica said. I must have been gawking too much. "Don't waste your time on them they are too good for everyone" she said. All I could think of was how could that be they have been nothing but nice to me. If they were like that why were they being nice to me? Jessica seemed to love to talk and gossip because before I could even respond saying I know who they are she kept going on. "Emmet is the big one and the blonde next to him is Rosalie they are seeing each other. It's sick that they do that."
"They are adopted Jessica, it's not sick cause they aren't related" Angela replied.
Jessica not caring for the interruption kept going on. "The blonde one is Jasper and the little girl next to him is Alice. Those two are dating too. And last but not least is Edward. He is the only single one but apparently is too good for all of us. So don't even try" she finished with her gossip.
Alice is with Jasper? I guess that makes sense. A beautiful girl like Alice would never be single and Jasper was a very handsome man. The thought of Alice not being single saddened me terribly. I kind of figured Emmet and Rosalie were seeing each other. Them all being adopted made sense now. "I'm not interested in Edward and I already know the Cullens" I managed to reply to the gossip queen. With that said the whole table got really quiet and stared in me disbelief.
"How do you know the Cullens" Lauren asked snobbily.
"They have been nice enough to show me around school and town. They even gave me a ride to school" I replied to the snobby girl. Really it was none of their business.
Everyone continued to look at me with some shock. I just continued to eat my food and ignore them. They soon got over it and were back to talking about other stuff while I ignored them stuck in my own thoughts. I couldn't help not get over the fact Alice was with Jasper. When lunched ended I tossed my garbage and headed towards biology.
Once I finally found biology on my own I walked in giving the teacher the slip to sign. I glanced around the room than finding only two empty seats. One seat in the front where Edward sat and the other in the back with Alice. Once I received my slip it was an easy decision. I walked towards the back where Alice was. Edward might be a nice guy I don't know but he kept staring at me and it creeped me out.
As I approached the back Alice smiled at me and I couldn't not smile in return. "So how was your lunch" she asked as I sat down.
"Not too bad. Angela is really nice but I'm not sure of the others" I replied. She just nodded her head to my response.
"So what do you have plans for after school today" she asked.
"Probably finish whatever homework I don't finish next hour and definitely need to do some laundry. What about you?" I asked.
"Oh. Well probably homework and spend time with my siblings" she replied.
"Hmm" was my response. By than the teacher started class and our time was spent taking notes. When class ended we started packing out stuff up.
"Hey Cam, we'll meet you out at the car at the end of school okay?" Alice asked while we were on our way out the door.
"Sounds good to me. I will see you than" I replied as we parted ways to go to our separate classes. I spent majority of my study hall in the library doing all my homework I have received for the day. Thankfully the teachers were being nice today and I didn't have a lot. Gym class wasn't very spectacular. All I did was get assigned a locker today and would start to participate tomorrow. So all I did was sit on the bleachers and watch them play volleyball. I used to love gym class back at my school but now I don't think it will appeal to me much anymore after the change I went through.
Once gym class ended I gathered my stuff from my locker and dropped my slip off at the office. By the time I reached outside to the parking lot most of other students have already left. Alice being true to her word was leaning against the Volvo with Jasper and Edward already inside. I smiled and got in the backseat like she did.
"So how was your first day at school? Was it that bad?" she asked with a smirk.
I laughed at her question. "No it really wasn't that bad at all. It was nice to be back in school kind of" I replied.
"Good" she replied with a smile. With that we had already arrived at the motel I was supposedly staying at. "We will pick you up tomorrow at the same time tomorrow. Okay?" she asked.
"You really don't have to drive me around you know. I can easily walk to school" I replied.
"Don't be silly we will see you tomorrow morning. Bye Cam" she said.
"Stubborn people" I mumbled. "Alright I will see you than. Bye" I said and closed the door.
I could see and hear musical laughter at my remark as they pulled away. I couldn't help but smile when hearing it. Once they were out of sight I took off for my campsite. I couldn't help but think how lunch with all the Cullen children tomorrow would be very interesting.
Well took me awhile to update but here it is. Thanks for the reviews and reading!
