A/N - Sorry that this is such a short chapter. I hope its good, it will start to get better next chapter. I decided to throw Lauren in there to spice things up, hope you all like. :)
I did not follow Jasper, Alice and Edward out, I decided that I needed to walk by myself and think. As I walked out of the auditorium I looked down the halls, trying to figure out which way to go and hoping Mike would not find me. I decided to take a right, hoping my History class was down this way.
I was not being myself at all; I was being an outgoing person on my first day. I know that I wanted to become a new person, forget my past completely, but I also did not want to be a completely different person to where I was not comfortable with myself. I know the old Bella would not go on that stage and sing her heart out; she would try and get out of it. And by golly, she would not grab Edward's hand.
"Hey, are you lost?" A sneering voice called to me, I turned around and found a tall blond staring at me with an evil grin. I looked around me and found that I was nowhere close to classrooms; I must have been in the janitor section.
The girl came up to me and held out her hand, "My name is Lauren," I took her hand and she guided me the other way, "And you are Bella Swan." She said over her shoulder at me.
I nodded as she dragged me with her, she stopped before an empty room and turned to me, "I saw you singing up there with Edward Cullen," Her eyes glared at me at the name of him, "He's taken, by me." She said, straightening up, "So…" She grabbed my shoulders and pushed me into the empty room and slammed the door, "This should put you in your place to stay away from my man."
"Great." I said to myself, "My first day and I am already the victim of a bully." I surveyed the room. I was in a very small classroom with the windows closed. I walked to the windows, thinking this could be my way out. I looked down to find that I was on the third floor, "Great."
I went to my backpack and rummaged for my phone. I found it and went to the contacts; of course I would not have anyone's phone number yet. I could not call my dad since he was working. I looked to see if I had the school's number and of course I did not.
The door swung open and a tall figure stepped into the room, I screamed and threw my bag at them. The figure caught my bag and I ran out the room as fast as I could. But I was not fast enough, the figure grabbed my around the waist.
"Let me go!" I screamed. The figure put a hand over my mouth.
"Bella. Please. Stop." The figure spoke, "It's me, Jacob." I calmed down and slumped against him. He set me down and handed me my bag. I looked down at the ground as he handed me my bag.
"Thanks, sorry about that." I looked up at my old friend and smiled, "I did not know you were back in Forks."
Jacob shrugged and smiled, "Dad wanted to come back, he missed this place so much." Jacob was such a calm person; tan skin, dark hair and brown eyes. He was a very comforting person, and I needed that.
I gave Jacob a hug and smiled, "It's been a…weird first day for me." I said, laughing just a bit.
Jacob smiled and threw his arm around my shoulders, "Well let's talk about it over lunch."
I stepped back and looked at Jacob, "It's lunch period already?" Jacob nodded, "Also, how did you know I was in here?"
"I'll tell you at lunch."
I set my tray down at a table in the corner of the cafeteria as Jacob said, "You are in my History class, when you did not show up, and the teacher sent me out to look for you. I passed Lauren in the hall and all she said to me was third floor. And then I found you."
I nodded as I sat down and slowly started to eat my food. I felt eyes on me and looked up across the room. I saw Alice, Jasper, Edward, Lauren, and two other people at a table directly across from us. Edward was looking at me, almost like he was shocked. I saw Lauren move next to Edward and put her hands on either side of his face, and planted a kiss right on his lips.
I looked back down at my food and pushed things around. I was pulled back to Jacob talking my ear off. I have known the kid when I was little and it was nice to have a childhood friend here.
The bell signaled that it was time to go to the next class. I tossed my food out, which I barely touched and began to walk down the hall. Jacob grabbed my arm, "Where are you going? It's an early release, no more school today!" Jacob flashed a smile and I smiled back.
Jacob walked me to my car and we said our goodbyes. I noticed that I parked next to Edward, who making out with Lauren on his passenger side door. So much for breaking my heart, Cullen. Why did I just think that? I did not have feelings for him, he was good looking. Maybe I am just jealous? I cleared my throat so I could get to my door. Edward jumped back and looked at me, eyes widening.
"You guys are making out in front of my door, I'd like to go home, please." I said, not making any more eye contact with them.
Edward walked to the other side of his car, Lauren throwing open the passenger door and slamming it into mine. My head snapped up, and Lauren flashed another evil grin, "Whoops. Sorry, Bella." She spat at me. Edward was standing with his drivers door open, looking at Lauren, more like glaring at her.
I waited till she was in Edward's car and opened my door, not even looking at the scratch and possible dent. I started my car and headed home, not looking at anyone anymore. I realized throughout the day, my good mood dwindled into a depressing mood. That was never a good sign. I blasted music in my car, trying to lift my spirits before I got home to Charlie's twenty questions about my first day.
I pulled into the driveway and made my way inside the house. Charlie was pacing in the living room wearing a worried look on his face. I set my things down and walked towards Charlie, "What's wrong, have a bad day at work?"
Charlie stopped, looking at me, "Bella, I think Phil knows where you are."
The smile on my face fell fast. No he cannot know where I am. My vision became very blurry as tears filled my eyes. I felt Charlie's arms wrap around me, this cannot be happening to me.
