Another Day

It's been three days since Alice 'spilt the gossip' and she's is still apologising about Edward and Tanya. She kept on telling me that fairy tales always have happy endings but I just rolled my eyes and ignored her. My life wasn't a fairy tale. I was never one for fairy tales, its load of rubbish if you ask me. She can't expect me to think that I will get with Edward soon because that's the way I want my fairytale to end. There is a big difference between fairy tales and reality and my reality says that Edward has a girlfriend and that's that. I sat on the back seat of the bus waiting for Alice, Edward and Emmett to get on. Alice sat next to me and Emmett and Edward sat down the front.

"I don't bite" I said to them. It was my way of inviting them to sit down the back, although I wasn't sure they would get what I was trying to say.

"Are you sure? You look kind of scary to me," Emmett teased. He and Edward got their bags and moved up the back. We were giggling as they struggled to move up the bus as it was moving. Edward threw his bag onto the seat making a loud thud noise. We all looked at him and then he started laughing. His laugh took my breath away. I was determined to let him go but it was harder than I thought. There was something about him, and i didn't know exactly what that was but something about him made my life bright. It made me forget about her death, it made me happy and has made me escape the darkness.

"So how are you settling into a girl's school," I said to them.

"Technically it's not a girl's school anymore," Edward replied

"It was three months ago," Alice said. She moved close the Emmett and started talking leaving Edward and me together.

"Alice told me about Tanya. I hope you don't mind me knowing," I said to him.

"Alice tells everyone everything, I have gotten used to it," Edward sighed.

"She's a very lucky girl," Edward turned and looked at me but I didn't want to face the awkwardness that was to come. I turned my head and face out the window and Edward was silent.

"Yeah well, I'm lucky to have her. I don't think I was her first choice," he laughed. I smiled back but did not answer. I soon changed the subject and Edward and I kept on talking throughout the bus trip. I kept on 'interviewing' him and he seemed like he didn't mind. Rosalie and Jasper were waiting for us at the front doors when we got off the bus.

"You really need to convince dad to let you drive, you could car pool with Emmett, Alice and Edward," Rosalie said to me with a smile on her face. I knew that Alice preferred to catch the bus then drive to school but I never ask Emmett or Edward. I know it's a weird thing to ask about but really it was out of curiosity.

"Why don't you two drive to school?" I asked. They both looked at me and then turned their heads and looked at Alice cuddling up to Jasper.

"Alice?" I asked.

"Yeah," Edward said.

"Oh, catch the bus big brothers, I need someone to look out for me," Emmett said adopting an Alice Voice.

"What?"

"She wants us to catch the bus so she can annoy us. The whole brother thing is her excuse," Edward said.

"Oh, right," Edward, Alice, Rosalie and I had our lockers in the same area. Emmett and Jasper were up the hall.

"Crap, I have religion first," I said.

"What the hell?" Emmett asked. "I didn't know this was a Christian school,"

"It's not," I replied. "It's more like an elective offered for Christian students. My dad made me do it but I guess its okay. I mean it's only once a week," Emmett looked entirely confused.

"I'm doing it as well big brother," Edward said to Emmett "Mum told you about it and she wanted you to do it. Are you that dumb that you can't remember?"

"Oh yeah, I remember. It's the program that I really didn't want to do because I'm not going to become a priest when I'm older," Emmett chuckled.

"There is no way I'm becoming a nun, it's just-"

"A good thing to study," Edward cut me off. Emmett laughed and slammed his locker. Edward and I just looked at each other. We made our way to religion with the whole nun and priest remarks still coming from Emmett. Our teacher Mrs Brush was sitting at her desk at the front of the class while everyone settled themselves in. She stood up reviling that she was around 5.3, well into her thirties and was a bit on the chubby side. She had short brown hair and dark eyes. Edward got us seats at the front of the classroom. I sat down next to him and within seconds, Mrs Brush started talking.
"Good morning girls," she said. We were silent. "Ha I forgot, we have gents in the classroom now," she laughed to herself and made her way to the board.

"Was she trying to be funny?" I whispered.

"I hope not otherwise we are in for a long year," Edward replied.

"Right, this term, we will be focusing on the different religions of the world. Who can tell me some of the major religions in this world?" Edward put his hand up straight away. I just looked at him. Okay, show him that you are smart. Christianity is one of the major religions in the world. There you go, put your hand up. I put my hand up as well. I started to think that everyone would be considering me and Edward as nerds; sitting at the front and first to put our hands up. I laughed to myself.

"Yes, sorry I don't know your name. These things happen when new students move to this school," Ms Brush said.

"It's Edward Cullen and my answer is Sikhism," he said. Wow, I don't even know what that is.

"Aaah, we smart have a smart cookie in our class," she said. Right, I've had enough. I put my hand down and then just sat there. Ms Brush looked at me but I looked out the window instead.

"And your name? I don't remember you in any of my classes last year," Mrs Brush said glaring at me.

"Bella Swan,"

"You had an answer I see, what is it?" she asked.

"Christianity was my answer," what was her problem?

"Christianity is definitely a major religion-" Mrs Brush turned around and walked over to the board and started talking about Christianity. Edward nudged me, I turned and looked at him then we started laughing. Mrs Brush turned around and glared at us.

"We are not off to a good start Mr Cullen and Miss Swan," she said. The whole class was silent for while. It was so awkward. I really wasn't going to enjoy Religion. The bell went and we were the first ones out the door. It was a good thing we didn't have Religion until next week. We bumped into Emmett and Jasper in the hall. They were both seniors. Rosalie came from drama.

"Why on earth do I only have two classes with you guys?" Rosalie asked. I walked over to her and gave her a hug.

"It's okay darling, we still love you,"

"Ha! How was Religion?," Jasper said laughing.

"The most retarded lesson ever," Edward replied.

"What? I thought you were religious. What was all the crap you gave me in the morning about how good it is to study religion," Emmett said coming closer to Edward.

"Yeah I am religion, I just don't like Mrs Brush,"

"Oh okay then," The bell rang and we were already late for class. We parted and ran to English. Our teacher Ms Gunn was old and I swear she was going deaf. She kept on talking about who knows what and everyone else was talking on top of her.

"This is so gay," Rosalie said. I was startled by her voice because I was actually trying to pay attention. English was my best subject. I turned to look at her when a paper plane from behind hit me in the head.

"Oops, sorry!" said someone from behind. I turned to look at him. He was slim, had blond hair and his books read Mike Newton.

"Apology not accepted. You should be listening to the teacher not throwing planes. Where was that going to anyway?' I asked. James just looked at me.

"Ms Gunn's head," he said quietly. I realised the whole class was silent, yet Ms Gunn was still talking.

"You are trying to get in her bad books on the first lesson?"

"Making paper planes is fun," Mike replied. Edward was laughing.

"Oh I'm sorry; I thought this was high school not kindergarten," I replied and turned around. Edward and Rosalie started laughing so hard that Edward fell off his chair and Rosalie hit her head on the desk.

"Excuse me? What is the matter?" Ms Gunn asked.

"Sorry Ms Gunn. Please continue," Rosalie said and Ms Gunn continued. Edward got up and sat on the chair. His hair was all messed up. He tried to fix it but Rosalie ended up fixing it for him. I was last out of the classroom. Edward and Rosalie were going to meet me outside as I had to talk to Ms Gunn about today's lecture, which I missed. Mike was still outside the classroom when I came out.

"Hey, I was just wondering; did it hurt?"

"What?" I asked. I started walking towards my locker with Mike trying to keep up with me.

"You know, when you fell from heaven because with a face like that you must be an angel,"

"Bye Mike," I said as I walked away. That boy made me sick. I walked over to my locker and Edward was waiting for me. He was listening to his IPod and tapping his fingers on his locker to the beat. I opened my locker, threw my books in and closed my door. I got a huge fright when I saw Emmett hiding behind the door. Edward was laughing again and then I started laughing.

"What was that for?" I asked.

"Oh nothing, just felt like scaring the crap out of you!" Emmett said tickling me and then walking away. I shook my head. It was nice having a friend like that.

"Yeah I know, I could kill him too," Edward said. I stared at him.

"True he has a weird mind but he's not the type of person you would kill," I said. Edward just laughed.
