Chapter 4- First day of school

A loud annoying sound was the first thing that registered in my mind this morning. God I hate mornings.

I groaned and covered my head with the pillow trying in vain to somehow block the noise.

"Wake up sleepyhead." A chirpy voice said, only making me groan in frustration again, wishing to go back to sleep.

"Come on! You don't want to be late on your first day, do you?" The chirpy voice continued.

"Maybe you should try pouring water on her face," a different voice suggested.

Upon hearing that, I quickly opened my eyes and jumped into a sitting position on my bed, trying to process what I was seeing even though my mind was still mostly asleep.

Alice was already up and dressed and Rosalie was no where to be seen, although I could have sworn I had heard her a moment ago.

"Oh good, you're up!" Alice said with a smile. "Now get dressed, I already picked out some clothes for you seeing as we're only going shopping this afternoon, remember?"

"Sure, whatever." I grumbled. Have I mentioned already how much I hate mornings?

Alice then left me alone to get up and I (rather begrudgingly) got dressed and went to the bathroom.

Apparently that was also where Rosalie had been all along so I just tried getting done with it all as quickly as possible as to avoid a talk with her. I knew Alice had said she would loosen up eventually but at the moment it was just really awkward for the both of us.

Breakfast past rather quickly with Alice and the others, and all too soon it was time to head to our classes.

Even though I was close to a nervous breakdown by the time we reached the school building, I took comfort in the fact that I would not have to go through with being the new girl on my own. We had all shared schedules at breakfast and I was pleased to find out that I had at least one person I knew in nearly every class.

In fact, besides Biology and Government, I had Alice in all my classes, and Edward was with me in Biology so really Government was the only class I had alone.

We entered the classroom and sat in our seats. Already I had seen more than a few students shoot curious glances in my direction. Apparently new students weren't very common for this school, and unfortunately for me I was as new as they come.

The teacher finally entered the classroom and spared me from further stares from my fellow students. My first class for the day happened to be Literature, one of my favorite classes, so I actually listened to the teacher and took notes.

Around the middle of the lesson Alice slipped me a note.

SEE I TOLD U IT'D BE FINE UR DOING GR8...I smiled at that, hoping that she was right. After all, all I had really wanted from the start was just to fit in.

A BIT EARLY TO TELL THAT DONT YA THINK?I wrote back to her. She shook her head and smiled to herself, slipping the note back to me.

I could almost hear the smugness in her tone as I read her answer. R U REALLY DOUBTING ME? U KNOW I'M ALWAYS RIGHT.

I chuckled and wrote sarcastically WHATEVER U SAY... She read the note frowning, and it took all my will power to not laugh at the disgruntled face she made. But of course, nobody is perfect, and a few choked laughs that sounded rather like a strangled cat in my attempt to disguise them as coughs escaped my lips.

"Is there a problem, Miss Swan?" The teacher asked, eyes narrowed at me.

"No no, no problems at all. Please continue." I said quickly, wishing he would avert his gaze elsewhere before I started blushing from the unwanted attention.

After giving me another look as if in daring me to interrupt his lesson again, he finally turned and continued his lecture. I kept quiet for the rest of the lesson.

"You're the new girl, Isabella Swan wasn't it?" A very high, nasal voice asked me. I turned to see that the voice belonged to a tall blond girl who was absolutely radiating Class Queen. She was probably pretty but ruined it by caking her face with make up to the extreme and was wearing a rather skimpy outfit that showed more than it covered even though Washington was rather cold this time of year.

Behind her stood two girls who gave me the impression that they pretty much idolized the blond, they were both dressed similarly to her and wore about the same amount of make up.

"Yes I'm her, but I prefer Bella." I said, realizing the blond was still waiting for an answer.

"Well, Bella, I'm Lauren, and these are Jessica and Tiffany." She introduced, all the while speaking in an extremely high voice that was beginning to give me a headache.

"We just wanted to welcome you to the school, you'll find that things work in a certain way here so I personally hope you'll catch on quickly, it'd be sad if we started off on the wrong foot wouldn't it?" Implications I didn't miss flowing freely with her words.

"Of course not," I answered, catching on quickly, no need to make enemies on my first day.

"Good, I see we're on the same page then." She said, while smiling a large false smile and continued on her way. I just shook my head to myself. Unbelievable! Does every school have a Class Queen type girl? Some things just never change, I thought to myself.
