Chapter 3: Class
Sorry it took me so long! I wrote this a long time ago, but both me and my beta were on holiday, so it took a little longer
then I had planned.
The next chapter is supposed to be up much sooner.
Enjoy!
Surprisingly enough I woke up myself. I yawned and streched, like every morning. I sat up, and tried to remember.
Oh. Great.
Today was my first day of school. In a public High School.
I stood up, and noticed my uniform on the chair at the corner of my room, together with a note. I grabbed the note and read it.
Dear Princess,
I'm sorry I'm not here to wake you and dress you.
Your dear friend Alice sent me away this morning.
She said she would take care of everything from now on.
I wish you good luck with that.
I'll see you in class.
Anna
I shook my head, laughing. This was typical Alice, I had learned yesterday.
I put on my school uniform, and brushed my hair. Then I walked to the kitchen to get me a cup of tea.
Surprisingly enough Alice sat there, fully dressed. Rosalie sat there as well, but she was still in her pyjama's.
Rosalie yawned again, and Alice giggled when I followed.
"Alice, why did you sent Anna away?" I asked her, still a bit sleepy.
"Well, I can take care of you too. This way she can sleep late as well." Alice said cheerfully.
"Alice, please stop being cheerful or I'll turn your smile around." Rosalie threatened.
I laughed. Rosalie was not a morning person.
"So, how late is the first class?" I asked.
"Our first class starts at 11." Alice answered, trying to be quiet and not-so-cheerful.
I nodded.
Yesterday I found out that we had a few lessons together: English literature, Music and Arts History. Only Alice had Design, Rosalie had Maths and Architecture, and I had Arts itself.
Anna had the same as I had, Joshua the same as Rosalie.
I yawned again. "What's our first class anyway?"
"English." Alice and Rosalie said in unison.
I moaned."Are you going to answer me in unison for like… forever?"
"No."
"Yes." Rosalie and Alice said together.
"Ugh.." I said, leaving the kitchen with my tea. I went back to my room, and grabbed my stuff to get ready for class.
When I left my room, I saw Alice and Rosalie were waiting for me. Surprisingly enough Rosalie managed to get ready in the few minutes I had taken to grab my stuff.
"Okay, let's go!" Alice said, practically bouncing. But after Rosalie's look she stopped and looked guilty.
"This is it, our English class." Rosalie said when we entered the classroom.
I just nodded, and looked around.
My eyes were immediately drawn to some guy in the back. His hair was not brown, not blond but some kind of bronze color. His beautiful emerald eyes bore into mine, and I felt the urge to look away.
I followed Alice and Rosalie, who were going to the back as well, only at the other side of the class.
"Wow. That guy is hot." Rosalie hissed, wich made me gulp.
If Rose liked that guy, that meant I didn't stand a chance. Nobody ignored Rose. She was just too perfect for that. I wouldn't be noticed at all.
I sat down, alone. Alice sat next to Rosalie, both laughing. Rosalie seemed to be awake now.
I sighed, and looked around again. The class started to fill up. Then I noticed Anna and Joshua, entering the room. I gave a quick wave to let them know I saw them.
Anna exchanged a look with Joshua, and then he nodded. I raised an eyebrow when she sat down next to me.
"What are you doing?" I hissed.
"Sitting next to you. This way you are protected. I'm doing my job, you know." She shrugged. "You better get used to it."
I sighed, giving up. She was just too stubborn. If she had a thing in her mind, it was way too hard to get it out.
I looked at the bronze-hair-green-eyes guy again, and noticed he was glaring at me.
When I glared back, I thought I saw his cheeks turn a light shade of pink, and he looked away.
Then some huge guy sat down next to him. They seemed to know each other, because they gave each other a short nod, and then they turned to the teacher, who was about to start class.
"Welcome, students. Welcome to this English class…"
He started talking about how this year would look like. It was so boring I started to think about the day I was getting married.
Somehow my eyes drifted back to the guy in the corner. Our eyes met and I immediately looked back at the teacher again.
During that class I didn't listen to a word the teacher said. I only kept glaring at the guy in the corner, and a few times I caught him glaring at me too.
When the bell rang, I followed Anna and Alice to the next class.
Suddenly I heard two voices behind me, and I instinctively knew that one of them was his.
They were talking very low, but I could still hear them.
"You have to be careful, man. You have to stop."
"I know what I'm doing. This is different than before."
I shivered when I heard his voice. It was a bit like velvet, and sweet. I surpressed a smile that wanted to spread across my face.
I wondered what they were talking about. Obviously something that he shouldn't be doing.
I sighed. Boys are impossible.
That night Rosalie, Alice and I sat in the living room, talking about our day.
"That guy from English class… he kept looking at me. It made me feel uncomfortable, but also.. Well.. I don't know.." I admitted.
"Bella, do you like him?" Rosalie said, teasing me.
"Of course not, Rose! She only saw him once!" Alice snapped at her.
Surprised, I corrected her. "No, I saw him four times today."
They both glared at me, causing me to giggle.
"We have English, Music and Arts together. You didn't see him during Music?" I giggled again. "I guess I can find him everywhere, even when there are a thousand people around us."
Rosalie and Alice exchanged a knowingly glare. "What?" I asked.
"Rose may be right, Bella. But watch out. He might be different than what you see on the outside." Alice said, as if she was lost in her thoughts.
"Alice, do you know this guy?" I jumped up.
Then the doorbel rang. Rosalie stood up and opened it, while I kept glaring at Alice.
She didn't seem to notice it.
"Bells!" Both Joshua and Anna entered the room.
The rest of the night, they stayed with us. We watched a movie and ate popcorn.
I dropped the subject I wanted to talk about, but the glares Alice gave me were a sign this wasn't over yet.
Sorry for the short chapter, but there was nothing more to say. The next chapter will be longer, I promise.
Tell me what you think!
