Chapter 3
First Day
After a week of unpacking and chaos it was the retched first day of school. At least we are starting from the beginning of the year instead of the middle. After slipping on a pair of jeans and green
sweater I brushed my hair into its natural waves and put on some light makeup, just to outline my eyes lightly. Lorraine was running around like a maniac while mom and dad tried to get everyone else
dressed. I walked down to the kitchen and found the lunches packed but no breakfast cooking.
I sighed and started to make toast and eggs, knowing my mom will appreciate it. I heard heavy footsteps coming down the stairs and saw Charlie.
"Hey, wanna help?" I asked but pleaded with my eyes.
He smiled. "Sure." I took over making the scrambled eggs while he covered the toast. "So you excited for school?"
"Uh… not really. Well, we've never been new kids before." I said scooping the eggs into a big bowl and started another batch, knowing there will be no left over's.
"Well if anyone gives you problems just tell me." he smirked.
"Sure. Sure." I laughed. "Maybe we'll have some classes together."
"Probably. So you riding with me in the car?" he asked.
"Defiantly. We just got to be sneaky so Lorraine doesn't find out we're driving there instead of taking the bus."
He laughed. "Of course."
When breakfast was destroyed by Mark's frog, Charlie and I ran for his car and gunned it down the street. I swore I heard Lorraine shouting at us.
When we got to Portland High my jaw dropped in shock. All of the cars were really crappy and old like ours but what shocked me was the school. It basically looked like 4 little buildings next to
each other but separated by some grass and side walks. Do I seriously have to walk outside in the cold to get to my classes?
I looked over at Charlie and noticed he already parked in a space. "How can I do this?" I asked stressed.
"Don't worry. I got your back Ronnie." he smiled reassuringly at me. I hope he does. "Alright lets do this." Those were his last words as he got out of the car, the door squeaking a little and I
followed shortly. We met in the back of the car and started walking to the building that had a sign and said OFFICE. "I wonder if Lorraine had to ride the bus?" I asked thoughtfully.
Charlie chuckled. "Knowing her she probably got mom to drive her." We entered the cozy office that was way too blue. Like everywhere was blue. The chairs, walls, doors, computers, I'm not even
joking. "This room is a little depressing." Charlie said, almost reading my mind.
"Exactly what I was thinking." I smiled. We walked up to a strict looking lady and she raised her eyebrow questionably. "Hi, I'm Ron-Veronica Baker and this is my brother Charlie." I said I bit shyly.
That's my problem, I get to shy around new people, but once you know me I'm pretty wild if I do say so myself. Well maybe not wild, but more outgoing…I guess.
"Oh, yes, isn't a Lorraine Baker suppose to be a Sophomore this year also?" she asked stiffly.
"Yeah, she should be-" Charlie got cut of as our wonderful-notice the sarcasm- sister walked in the door. "Here she is." he finished.
"Alright. Here is you schedule Veronica, you also need your teachers to sign this slip then return at the end of the day. Same with you Charlie and Lorraine." They both nodded absentmindedly
while they were in a heated discussion of why we left without her. Once the lady explained the school a bit more we all walked out into the hallway.
"What's your first class?" Charlie asked me.
"Uhh…History with Jefferson." I said looking at my schedule.
"Me too." he then just decided to take my schedule and compared it to his. Since we still had 10 minutes until class. No one bothered us as they passed which I was relieved. "We have History
, Biology, Calculus, Lunch, and Gym together. We have 5 classes out of 8, so its not bad. Come on lets got to History."
The beginning of my day went really well, since Charlie was in 3 of 5 classes, but it got annoying when the teachers got excited we were twins and made us introduce us in front of the class. I also
met some kids who were nice enough to show me and Charlie where some of our classes were. There was Ashley, who was a gossiper but nice none the less, then Mark who was a little to friendly,
then Natalie who was sincerely nice, and Kevin who was the chess club leader with bad skin. It surprised me how many people were actually being nice to me comparing to my old school. Then of
course Charlie fit right in with the Jocks and made friends right away.
Once it was lunch time I didn't know where Charlie was because he wasn't in my last class, but Ashley was and she was walking me to the Cafeteria. When we got inside I noticed Charlie at the
jock table and he waved at me distractedly. I smiled. I followed Ashley to a table who had a few people at and it was clearly a mixed table since Mark, Natalie, and Kevin were there with a few other
people.
"Alright guys this is like Veronica, but call her Ronnie. Ronnie this is Mark, Natalie, Lance, Lauren, and Kevin." Ashley said cheerfully.
I smiled slightly. "Hi." I sat next to Ashley and Natalie on my other side while Mark was goofing off with Lance and Kevin. Lauren clearly already didn't like me. I looked around the room and my
gaze immediately stopped on a group of 5 people in the corner of the room. They were all inhumanly beautiful as far as I can tell. There was a big guys with short curly hair next to a blonde model, then
a short dark-haired pixie one next to another blonde-haired boy. Then one other boy with a bronz-ish colored hair. He wasn't as big as the other two but boyish and more lanky. "Who are they?" I said
to no one in particular.
Ashley and Natalie looked where I was looking and Ashley started. "The big one is Emmett Cullen and the blonde is Rosalie Hale, then the dark-haired short one is Alice Cullen and next to her is
Jasper Hale who looks like he's in pain. Their like altogether though." she said with a sneer, obviously disgusted.
"Its not like their related though." Natalie tried to fix. "Their all adopted by Doctor Cullen."
I then noticed no one pointed out the other boy. "Whose the one with the bronze hair?"
Ashley giggled. "That's Edward Cullen. But don't waste your time on him, he doesn't date." while I was still inspecting their table the bronze haired one- Edward looked up right to our table. It
looked almost like he heard us. His eyes flashed to a flustered Ashley who looked down, then over to me. I blushed a deep red and looked back down to my bottled water.
"Wasn't planning on it." I mumbled still surprised at his abruptness.
Then Natalie changed the conversation to my benefit. "So you're a twin?"
I nodded my head. "Yeah. Charlie." I pointed him out to them and Ashley took a liking to him immediately. "And Lorraine is in a year younger than me." I added on since Sarah and Jake wouldn't be
in the high school when I would be.
"Do you have anymore siblings?" Natalie asked while the whole table clued in to the conversation. Great, here's the gossip for the next week.
I exhaled heavily. "Yep. I have 11 other siblings." Almost the whole table went silent until Mark spoke up.
"Seriously?!" he said breaking everyone out of their trances.
I smiled a little. "Yep. Nora is 22, then Charlie and I, then Lorraine whose 16, then Sarah and Jake who are twins and are 12, then Jessica who is 11, then Kim who is 10, then Mark who is 9, then
Mike who is 7, and lastly Nigel and Kyle who just turned 6."
"Wow…" Ashley said. I Sneaked a peak up to the mysterious people after my rant and noticed Edward Cullen staring at me with a frustrated look. Once his eyes connected with mine he looked
away with a slightly angry expression on.
I walked to Biology with Mark and Charlie who didn't really get on that well, due to Mark always trying to flirt with me. I was totally new to this and it was slightly uncomfortable and Charlie sensed
that and kept his eye on Mark.
We all walked into the class and I saw Edward there. Great, more awkwardness. Charlie and I got our slips signed by the teacher. "Charlie why don't you sit next to Lance and Veronica you can sit
next to Edward." Even better.
I sighed and walked to the empty lab bench next to Edward. When I sat I noticed Edward go stiff from the corner of my eye. I looked at him, then immediately looked away. His eyes were coal
black and he was shooting daggers at me. If looks could kill I would be on the ground already. I looked down trying to distract myself and saw his hands clenched onto the table. I chanced one more
look at him and saw he was still glaring at me with a slightly pained expression. I couldn't disgust him that bad, could I?
Once the bell rang Edward was gone from his seat and out the door before any one even started picking up their stuff. I shook my head a bit and gathered my stuff.
"Hey you okay?" I heard Charlie say. I nodded. "It just looked like that guy was about to eat you." he said concerned but with humor.
"I'm okay." I lied.
That night I laid in bed thinking what the heck Edward Cullen's problem was. I did nothing wrong to him. I plan to confront him though. Tomorrow.
