Today I was going to be starting school with the others. It's a private school, so I was expecting uniformes, but was pleasantly surprised when I was told that there was none. I dressed in some ripped black jeans and a black t-shirt that read 'Don't follow in my footsteps I run into walls'. I wore my trusty black converse, that were older than dirt, and threw a beanie on top of my bed head. I grabbed my supernatural devil's trap drawstring backpack. This probably wasn't going to be allowed but hey, a girls gotta try right.
Walking downstairs. I find Mrs. Cullen making breakfast in the kitchen and Edward sitting at the breakfast bar, reading a textbook. I walk in and am instantly handed a plate. I give a weak smile and start to plate my breakfast. I take one of the empty seats at the breakfast bar after grabbing a glass of orange juice.
Emmett is next to join us in the kitchen. He's drumming to some random beat in his head as he moves around the kitchen, banging on anything and 's not really paying any attention as he steps up to the counter, so when he takes my orange juice I get pissed.
"Hey, dude, what the hell?" I ask standing up on the chair to reach across the bar to grab my orange juice back from him. He looks confused. "You can't just grab a girls juice," I glare.
"Sorry Princes, didn't notice it was yours," He smiles. I glare some more, taking a drink from the glass after wiping the side he drank out of. I set it back on the counter with a grimace and shake my head, it's been contaminated it's no longer good. I slide it back over to him and he just smirks, drinking from the glass where I'd just drank from.
"Bella, you'll be going to school with Alice this morning, she'll show you around and make sure you get to your classes," Mrs. Cullen smiles. I nod, letting her know that I heard her, not really thrilled about having to have a tour guide.
Alice is the last one to come down the stairs, just in the nick of time, she's dressed in a off the shoulder white shirt and a fancy floral skirt with a large brown lace up belt thing. She has short brown heel boots on her feet and she's carrying not only a large over the shoulder purse but also a fancy red leather backpack. She grabs a piece of toast and kisses Mrs. Cullen on the cheek before she leads to to her fancy, yellow porsche. She drives at what feels like an illegal speed and then pulls into a parking lot of a castle like building.
Rainier High School looks like what you'd expect a fancy private school to look like. Large, brick, and over-priced. Students are standing around in the parking lot in groups, and you can instantly tell what the cliques are. Athletes, Nerds, other social groups... I'm not really use to seeing cliques, at my old school it was either you were friends with everyone or no ones friend, mostly cause we were all miscreants, and juvie wasn't into friendships so the high school social ladder was new to me.
"Come on, I'll show you to the office," Alice says grabbing all over her bags. I just shake my head, why does she need two large bags for school. She climbs out of the car and I follow suit, instantly I can feel many pairs of eyes on me. GREAT! Looking around I find where the eyes are coming from, a group of Jock looking boys are looking in my direction. They are checking me out mind you but I wasn't going to let that continue, I flip them off and they laugh, doing the pushing things guys do, is that a show of dominance or just the testotaton?
Alice and I meet at the bumper of her car and she loops her arm through mine, dragging me towards the school. She talking a mile a minute again and I barely catch anything she's saying. We walk into the school and into what I'm guessing is the main office. She walks up to the secretary whose name plate says Shelly Cope. Alice clears her throat to get the old woman's attention, okay she's not that old, but she's older then Mrs. Cullen.
"Good morning Alice, what can I do for you this morning?" Mrs. Cope asks. Then she notices me. "Oh hello there dear,". I gave her a closed mouth half smile with raised eyebrows.
"Shelly, this is Bella," Alice said gesturing to me. "She's new here,".
"Oh yes! Of Course! I forgot we had a new student starting with us today," Shelly said, digging through some papers on her desk. She grabbed a few sheets of paper and handed them to me. "These are your class schedule and a map of the school, I've highlighted all of your classes for you so they are easier to find," She smiled pointing to the papers. She handed me a card lanyard that contained a few cards. "This is your student ID card and lunch card. Your student ID will get you into the science labs as well as into the school if your late for any reason, and your lunch card is used to pay for your lunch," Well duh!
After a few more minutes of talking and getting everything sorted out, Alice lead me to my first class, history, which also happened to be hers. She lead me to a desk and made me sit down in it. She took the one next to me and she continues to talk. Other students sart to fill the classroom and soon enough the bell rings, the teacher walks into the room and close the door behind him.
"Good morning class," He says in a monotone voice. "Alright so to start off class today, we first, have to give a warm welcome to our new student, a Ms. Isabella Swan," He says looking around the room, when he finds me he points at me, then waves me over with the crock of his finger. I reluctantly stand up and walk to the front of the room. "Now Isabella, why don't you tell us about yourself,".
I look around at the class, some look intrigued, but most are bored. I sighed and look down at my feet.
"I prefer Bella," I say looking at the teacher. He nodded for me to continue, I sigh annoyed at this childish introduction game but otherwise keep quiet. The teacher sees that I'm not going to say anymore and sends me back to my desk.
There's only about two weeks left of classes before exams, so I don't really understand why I have to come here, but it's not like I missed 5 months of school, I know what's going on in the curriculum, basically I just have to write the finals and I'm done my grade 10 year. Alice and I work together on the review booklet that Mr. Slade handed out. Alice is pretty smart so between the two of us we fly through the pages assigned to us.
When First class ends Alice directs me to my math class before we go our separate ways, when I arrive at my math class I do a quick introduction with the teacher. He doesn't seem to care too much about my new student status and just points me in the direction of an empty desk. This class is once again just spent doing review. I'm not the greatest at math and spend most of the class grumbling to myself.
"X equals 5," A voice to my right states. I look up to see a blond man look over my shoulder. I glare at him and he holds his hands up in surrender. "Sorry, just trying to help," He says.
"Well, thanks, but I don't need it," I hiss.
"I'm Jasper," He says holding out his hand for me to shake. I glare at it and turn back to my work.
Jasper leaves me alone for the rest of class but when the bell rings for lunch he walks up beside me in the hall.
"So, your staying with the Cullens," He states. I give him a questioning look. "I'm Alice's boyfriend, I've heard a lot about the girl moving in with them," He said. I nodded my head in understanding.
We make it to the lunch room and stand in line together, he tries to make conversation but I don't care for small talk. At some point Alice joins us, hugging Jasper around the waist since she's too short to reach his we've paid for our lunches Alice drags me to what she calls her regular table and tells me to sit in the seat next to her. Jasper sits on the other side of her and throws and arm over the back of her chair.
"So how's you first day going so far?" Alice asks excitedly. I shrug, I hadn't talked to anyone else other then these two and my teachers. "Well I'm sure your day will only get better from here,".
Edward joins us at the table a while later and he and Jasper start talking about stuff. I sit quietly in my seat and just kinda look around. This school is very big on sports, judging by the amount of varsity jackets littered around the cafeteria. Edward and Jasper included.
"Hey Princess, how's school going?" Emmett asks coming out of nowhere and sitting next to me. I glare at him for the nickname. Do I look like a fucking Princess?
"Where's Rose?" Alice asks Emmett. Who's Rose?
"Why should I know, she's not of my concern anymore," Emmett says with a mouth full of food. Alice rolls her eyes, whether at what he said or his lack of manners I don't know.
"Rose is Emmett's on and off girlfriend," Alice says seeing my confused look. I nod in understanding before turning back to my food. I'm just ready for the day to be over, this place is too high school for my taste.
When lunch ends, Edward walks with me to the science lab, I have to use my ID in order to get into the room, Edward says it's so they can keep track of who's coming in and out, I thought it was odd, but whatever.
I hadn't gotten to do all the cool experiments when I was in juvie so when the teacher announced that we were going to do some today I was excited. There had only been one open spot left in class and it was next to the nerdiest kid I'd ever met. He was terrified of me, only telling me his name was Milton. He was awkward and shaky while we did the experiments, almost to the point I was worried he'd drop something, but I just left him alone, if I'd tried to do anything it would probably scare him further.
The class was fun and I was disappointed when it was over. I was one of the last to leave because I had a free period for the rest of the afternoon. The teacher was happy that I'd stayed back to help her clean up. I guess I got on her good side, that could be a plus.
Leaving the chem lab I wondered the halls, the building new old, meaning it had been re-built to look old, the original building had burned down in a fire a few years back. I eventually found myself in the hallways of the trophy cases. Most of them were football or Lacrosse but there were a few from the girls field hockey team as well as academic stuff, I didn't understand most of them, other then the debate club. I came to a stop in front of a picture that looked to be taken back in the 80's it was of the football team at the championships. I scan the names on the bottom and surprised to see Swan. Odd. That names not very common. Looking up at the person the I'm disappointed to see a blond guy. Mom also had blond hair so I'd have to had gotten my colour from my dad. It's rather unlikely that a natural brunette came from two blonds.
I spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around, the school was huge and I don't even think that I had gone to every corner of it by the time the bell rang.
When it was time to leave I made my way towards the closest door, too bad I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and ran into one of those poles that go between the doors.
"Shit!" I hissed to myself holding my now bruised forehead. There were a few people laughing at me but for the most part everyone ignored me and continued walking. I dust off my hands on my jeans as someone bumped into me. Oh for God sake.
"Watch where you're going," The guy said. I turned to chew him out but stopped when I noticed who it was. "Oh hey Princess," He smirked. "Your shirt is very accurate," He pointed out.
"Did you just call yourself a wall?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. He seemed really in thought about that. "Don't hurt yourself," I smirked. He glared. I turned and walked away with a triumphant smile. One point Bella! I continued walking till I got to Alice's car. She and Jasper were currently in the middle of a heavy make-out session on her car. Eck!
I cleared my throat but they either didn't care or didn't notice, so I just stood there like an idiot waiting for them to finish. Emmett walked up beside me and smirked when he noticed Alice and Jasper.
"Jealous?" He asked with an eyebrow wiggle. I pretended to gag and he let out a bark of a laugh, this caught Alice and Jaspers attention.
"Sorry Bella, didn't notice you," Alice giggled. I raised my eyebrow at her. "Ready?" She asked. I replied by walking over to the passenger side. She unlocked the doors and gave Jasper one more kiss before getting behind the wheel.
She was a terrifying driver. I swear she nearly hit 6 vehicles and that was just in the parking lot. I was very relieved when she pulled into the garage at the house.
"Wanna study together?" She asked me as we walked into the house. I shrugged, I wasn't much of a studier but I guess it wouldn't hurt. "Great, I'll meet you in the library," and then she was gone. I shrugged and walked into the kitchen in search of food.
