IM SO SORRY that it took me like at least a WEEK to update! But, I made this chapter extra long to make up for it :D
Once again, I don't own Twilight…obviously, because I aint Stephanie Meyer. And I don't wanna be.
Chapter 4
I got up off the bed and sighed. How had my life become so awful? It wasn't always like this. Charlie wasn't always an abusive drunk. I didn't always have to work as a stripper to pay the bills, since Charlie decided that he wouldn't pay for anything besides various types of alcohol. Once, Charlie, Renee, and I had all lived happily together. Then Renee left, and Charlie drank to forget his pain. He loved her so much! And they both loved me. So why did Renee leave, you may ask? She ditched us for Phil, who is now her husband.
I shook my head. No need to think of unpleasant things so early in the morning. I got dressed in my long-sleeve bright green shirt and straight jeans, with a white belt. Then I grabbed my silver flats and, after taking a few pills, went to my truck. I drove to school, and the first thing I noticed was that a yellow Porsche was parked in my usual spot. I parked at the end of the parking lot and attempted to walk normally. I had to keep my secret though, so I stumbled a few times on purpose.
Then, I went to my first period. Then second. Then third. Then fourth. Then fifth. Finally! Lunch time. I went to the lunch line and got food, even though I knew I wasn't going to eat it. I had to keep a good figure to keep my job, and this calorie-filled food would make me gain weight. I went to my table with Mike, pervert, Jessica, bitch, and Lauren, double bitch. I began munching on an apple when I saw him. He was gorgeous. His bronze hair caught the light as he passed the window to go get lunch, and he somehow looked more gorgeous. I leaned over to Jessica and said, "Who's that? He is fine!" Mike gave me a dark look, then answered for Jessica, "That's Edward Cullen. He just transferred here from Alaska with his adopted family, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper." He pointed to a table at the far side of the cafeteria and showed me which person was which. They were the most gorgeous people ever.
I watched Edward walk to the table. He had a great ass. For once, I actually forgot about all my troubles and thought only of the gorgeous man, Edward.
"No, Bella. That's bad. You cannot have close friends, especially not a boyfriend. Charlie would kill you, and them!" I thought to myself.
Suddenly, Edward looked up and caught me staring at him. He looked at me curiously, and I boldly glared at him until he looked down.
I ate an apple, and then walked to the bathroom in the same hall as my next class, Biology. Just as I opened the door, then bell rang. I didn't mind if I was late to class, so I kept doing what I was doing. I closed the door and locked it. I went to the counter and found the empty soda can I had put in my bag at lunch. I lifted up my sleeve past my elbow. I took the top off of the can and put the sharp edge in the crease of my elbow. I squeezed my elbow. The small trickle of blood gave me a rush of relief. I grabbed some gauze from my first aid kit I always carry with me. I wrapped my arm and headed to class.
EPOV (that's Edward for all of you not-so-bright people :D) [I wasn't sure if I wanted to do another pov, but I said what the fuck, why not]
I was walking to Biology when I saw a girl going into the women's restroom. I walked past the bathroom and the bell rang. I was almost to the Biology classroom when I smelled the most delicious blood coming from the direction of the bathrooms. My animal instincts took over and I had to struggle to hold them in. I shook my head and went into the classroom.
Swan is late AGAIN! Will that girl ever learn to follow the rules? Oh look, there's the new kid, Edward Cullen I think.
Mr. Banner, the teacher looked over at me. I nodded my head and continued to the table in the far back. It was the only open table. I guess that Swan girl Mr. Banner thought of sat at this table. I sat down and ignored the thoughts of all the idiots around me.
About 2 minutes later, a beautiful girl walked in and my breath caught. She had brown hair and deep, gorgeous brown eyes. They enchanted me, but also scared me. Her eyes looked as if she had seen the most evil things in the world. She had a great body. I tried to read her mind, but it was blank.
Mr. Banner gave her a look and she glared back. "Glad you could finally join us, Isabella," he said. "It's Bella. And I'm not happy at all to be in this hellhole," the beauty, Bella, reiterated. She then walked to the table I was at and tripped just as she got to the table. I caught her, but at the same time I thought that the trip looked like she did it on purpose. But she wouldn't trip on purpose…right?
"Hello, I'm Edward Cullen"
"I'm Bella Swan; now get your hands off of me!"
I looked away from her gorgeous face and realized that I was still holding her. I let her go and began breathing again. That was when I realized that she smelled delicious, despite all the drugs and alcohol I could smell in her system. She sat down and I looked at her closely. I could smell blood coming from her arm. She caught me looking at her arm and began to look uneasy, so I looked away.
When the bell rang, Bella bolted to the door even though it looked like walking put her in pain. I followed her to the gym and saw her pretend to trip several times. Why would she pretend to be clumsy? This girl was a real mystery. And I planned on finding out more about her.
