Chapter Three:

Little Things Can Start Big Problems

When me and Karla stepped off of the bus she immediately started looking around for some one.

"Karla." a boy, who looked more like a man then a boy, came up to Karla.

"Edward!" she exclaimed, jumping onto him into a big hug, which he returned. Once they released each other, his eyes darted around to every face. When he came to mine, his eyes narrowed. I stared back into his ice blue eyes, which scared me, but I knew they were fake. He was pale white, making his black spiked hair look shocking. It took Karla a few seconds to figure out what he was glaring at.

"Oh right, Bella, this is Edward Knight, we've been friends since freshman year." she introduced, grabbing my wrist and pulling me closer. Edward didn't smile, he apparently didn't like strangers. Karla frowned a little.

"Edward...this is Belladona...she's new here and she needs some friends!" Karla suggested and he shrugged, holding his hand out and we shook hands.

"Well then...if your a friend of Karla's I guess your a friend of mine...nice to meet you, Bella." he said, his voice a little deep. I nodded, and he let go of my hand, instead making it swing back and forth by his sides.

"C'mon Karla...and Bella. We don't want them thinking that we're skipping school." Edward said, a hint of laughter in his voice. Karla giggled, and towed me inside. I guess I was still kind of nervous. We walked inside and I almost stopped in the middle of a crowd and stared at everything. It was HUGE. For a medium sized town, this high school was probably the biggest in the world. The ceiling looked miles away and once you walked a little farther, the halls seemed to never end. Karla showed me the main room where we eat and wait until the proper time, we still had ten minutes until classes officially open. I don't know how it happened, but I found I was alone in a huge crowd. Edward walked away silently like a shadow and the last I saw of Karla she was skipping away and greeting some other senior girls before the back of her head was lost in the sea of heads. I started getting shoved as more people started coming. I actually tripped on my own foot and fell on a boy, who before was telling his friends a joke, until she knocked him over.

"Sorry!" I had to raise my voice a little for him to hear me over all of the students, yelling across the room to other friends. He grinned as his friends started edging away.

"It's cool." he said, he was kind of short, came about the same heigth as me, and kind of thin. He had what looked like a sorta light shade of black hair that looked as if some one had just ruffled his hair before I ran into him. His eyes were an odd color, a mix between green and hazel. I think I was lost in his eyes.

"You okay?" he asked, worry striking his face. He probably thought I hit my head on his back or something when I tripped...I blushed a deep scarlet and looked at my feet. He grinned again and held out his hand, which I eagerly took.

"Tofu Suloven at your service, ma'am!" he leaned over and kissed my hand, then released it and bowed, laughing as he went. He was joking I knew but it was still gentleman like. But there was one thing I was curious about...

"Your name is...Tofu?" I asked, wondering if there was a hidden reason that I wasn't getting. He laughed again, his smile was brilliant...

"That's just what the guys call me. My real name is Zackery...but you can call me Zack." he said fondly. I smiled. Then I frowned.

"I'm guessing your not in any of my classes, huh?" I asked, sighing a little. I kind of already knew the answer...

"Depends, I'm a sophomore." he shrugged. I stiffled a groan.

"Freshman..." I muttered, disapointed the first time today that I wasn't in the same grade as some one. He grinned.

"Well maybe you'll get lucky? Mr. Rutherford is one of the science teachers for freshmans." just then the bell rang loudly. I had to hold my ears, Zack frowned and looked irritably at the source of the bells. "Well, I'll see you after class, bye!" and with that, he ran down into a hall. I watched him until I couldn't see him any more. Then I hurried to my locker. I had no difficulties with my locker, but I had troubles finding my classroom. I ended up being five minutes late to my first class, which irronically was Mr. Rutherford's science class. He just smiled when I entered, muttering my appologies as the whole class eyes were on me. Mr. Rutherford had a young face, no older then at least 25 years old. He had a crew cut jet black hair with brown eyes similar to mine. If you looked closely you could see the slightest hint of very strong muscles...talk about a hot teacher...

"That's alright, Belladona wasn't it? Beautiful name. Now you sit next to Alexia." he showed me to a seat at a group of tables in the middle of the room. I sat down next to a blond ugly girl, her face reminding me of a derranged pig with what looked almost like black buttons for eyes.

"Alright...now as some of you might already know, I am Adam Rutherford, and I will be your science teacher this year. Now we're going to have a very fun year, I can feel it. Now...Alexia, would you tell me why you have a box with you?" Mr. Rutherford asked and all eyes turned to her. Alexia, who had been quietly gloating to some friends at the other table about a box she held in her hands, glowered at Mr. Rutherford.

"They are presents from my daddy! It's a cute mousey he got from his work. My daddy is VERY important and works for the Umbrella corporation!" she bragged, and every one looked at the white mouse with green eyes in the box. Even I was kind of impressed, the Umbrella corporation was the biggest in the world. It worked with technical items and medical supplies. Mr. Rutherford on the otherhand, was less impressed. In fact, I almost thought I saw a shimmer run across his now hardened eyes, as if going threw something painful...

"Well then..." his voice reflected his eyes just the slightest bit, enough for the hairs on the back of every students neck, including mine, to stand on edge. "Why don't you put that away, and never bring it into my class again...no pets aloud, you see..."

"But--OW!!!" she screamed, as the mouse had suddenly jumped up and bit her hand. Before any one could blink, the mouse had left using the crack in the wall. A girl jumped from her seat and rushed over to Alexia. The girl had waist length black hair and curious purple eyes.

"Alexia, are you alright?" she asked, examining Alexia's finger but Alexia pulled it away quickly from her and pushed her away, trying to follow the mouse. Alexia had tears in her eyes.

"Daddy's gonna kill me!" she sobbed and, sitting on her knees next to the crack, sat there and cryed while the girl tried to comfort her. Even I felt a little bad.

"Molly? Molly, what happened?" the girl sitting across from me, who had been sitting next to the girl who rushed over to Alexia, asked. She had a strange neon green color of hair and her hair was so long she would sit on it if she didn't move it to the side. But what really caught her attention was her eyes, which were a silver color. She was blind.

"Don't worry Tenshi, Alexia just lost her mouse...I told you to put it away...here, let me see that cut." Mr. Rutherford said kindly, kneeling next to her and trying to take hold of her hand, but Alexia rudely pushed him away, and ran from the classroom. Mr. Rutherford stared after her, then, sighing, helped the girl named Molly up and returned the front of the class. While Mr. Rutherford was trying to straighten himself up and calm the now whispering class, the girls Tenshi and Molly looked towards me.

"Hi." Molly greeted in a whisper.

"Hi." I returned.

Tenshi stared in my dirrection, which was kind of creeping me out. Molly followed my returning gaze and her eyes fell on Tenshi.

"Oh, we should introduce ourselves. My name is Molly Hudson, and this is my best friend, Tenshi Yasuragy." she introduced and I nodded.

"Belladona." I said blandly. After that we turned back to Mr. Rutherford.

The day went by quickly, almost like a blur of color, I was amazed to find that I was in my bedroom in what felt like moments later. I was exhausted, the day was full of learning rules that all schools shared, yet they repeated every year. I hope tomorrow will be a bit more exciting...

Hey guys! Sorry it took a while to update but here you go! I had to organize this carefully, having like five new characters to add. So keep in touch! Trust me, things will get more interesting.
