Chapter 4-
Edward POV
"Rise and shine, Edward!" Alice's voice rang as she pulled my bedroom curtains apart. I blinked rapidly and groggily sat up.
"Alice, why do I have to get up at," I looked to the clock on my bedside table, "eight in the morning?" I groaned as I rubbed my eyes tiredly.
"Because Edward, school starts at nine," she reminded me incredulously as she realized that I had forgotten when I smacked my hand to my forehead. Alice then threw me a pair of dark blue jeans and a light blue sweater before gracefully exiting my bedroom to give me some privacy. I slowly dragged myself to the bathroom and showered. As I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I tried to tame my messy hair without much success. I sighed before returning back to bedroom to grab my backpack off my chair and headed down to the kitchen.
I greeted Esme who was placing boxes of cereal onto the countertop as I walked into the kitchen as she kissed me on the cheek and poured a bowl of cereal for myself. Soon enough, Emmett came running into the kitchen and impatiently grabbed a bowl twice the size of mine and started pouring different cereals into the bowl. I chuckled as I watched Emmett before Alice came strolling in. She rolled her eyes at Emmett who was munching greedily on his cereal and grabbed a granola bar for herself. Carlisle had already left earlier on for his shift at the hospital. After having finished eating our breakfast, we headed out to my Volvo, after giving Esme a hug each, and headed for school.
As I pulled into the parking lot, I realized that Rosalie and Jasper had just driven in as well as she slid her BMW next to my Volvo.
Bella POV
I got off my truck and looked around the parking lot looking for the Cullens and Hales. Just then, Edward's Volvo, followed by Rosalie's BMW rolled into the parking lot. Edward, Emmett and Alice filed out of the Volvo while Rosalie and Jasper got out of Rosalie's BMW. I headed towards them quickly as I smiled at everyone in greeting.
"Hey, how are you feeling on your first day of school?" I smirked as he groaned and shook his head.
"I'm really dreading it," he replied. Alice immediately hooked her arm through Edward's and dragged him off to the main office while the rest of us just followed behind them.
"So Bella, where were you yesterday? I called you but Charlie said you were out," Rosalie asked casually. At the mention of yesterday, I immediately blushed.
"You were out with Edward weren't you?" Emmett asked as he wriggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"What makes you say that?" I asked as I tried to hide my blushing face away from them.
"Well, according to Alice, when Edward came home, he was smiling like an idiot," Emmett replied as he started laughing at me. I just scowled before walking faster as I caught up with Alice and Edward. As all of us entered the main office, Mrs. Cope looked up at us before settling her surprised eyes on Edward.
"Good morning Mrs. Cope! This is Edward and he has just transferred here," Alice chirped while Edward smiled softly. Mrs. Cope nodded her head understandingly and smiled at him before digging around for the required documents. Finally, she pulled out two pieces of paper.
"This is has all of the important details you need to know and you will need all of your teachers' signatures on this form. Do remember to return this form at the end of the day," Mrs. Cope explained as she handed the two pieces of paper to Edward. He nodded and all of us headed out of the office.
"Uh, where's locker number 28?" he asked as he read the form.
"My locker's right next to yours. I can you show you the way," I offered. He agreed and the rest went their separate ways. We settled into a comfortable silence as we made our way to our lockers.
"What's your first class?" I asked curiously as we opened our respective lockers. Edward shuffled around as he placed some of his books into his locker before pulling the piece of paper out of his pocket.
"I have English first. Then I have History, Mathematic followed by lunch and Biology. I have Gym last," Edward listed out all of his classes in sequence. I smiled as I realized that I have two classes with him. Unfortunately, one of those two classes happened to be Gym and I am sure that I would make a complete fool of myself with my constant tripping. I snapped out of my reverie as Edward chuckled. I stared, confused, at him.
"You were in a daze. Is there anything wrong?" He asked, still looking amused. I started blushing then.
"You'll find out soon enough in Gym," I muttered. He just chuckled once more before waving to me to head for English while I headed for History.
Edward POV
As the day passed by, I made some new friends, Mike, Tyler, Ben and Eric while there were some girls who were over-friendly. I mentally cringed at the memory as the girls flirted with me. However, the lessons were bearable as I had already learnt everything back in Chicago but because of that, I became bored easily during the lessons. I sighed as I waited for the bell to ring. I breathed out in relief and grabbed my books before heading towards the cafeteria. I made my way towards Alice who was waving frantically at me from a table at the far end of the cafeteria. I smiled at everyone as I took my seat next to Bella.
"So, how has school been so far?" Jasper asked me, having seen my relieved expression as I entered the cafeteria.
"It's been okay. Though, I'm quite uh, disturbed by Jessica and Lauren. They were too friendly for me," I admitted. Everyone immediately started laughing at me. I groaned and buried my head into my hands. Bella just patted my back sympathetically, still laughing at me. As they kept on joking and teasing me about Jessica and Lauren, lunch time passed by much too quickly for my liking. As we parted separate ways again, Bella and I headed for Biology together. I gave Mr. Masen my form before taking the only unoccupied seat, next to Bella. She grinned happily at me as I sat down. We had a lecture for Biology which seemed to drag on but eventually, it ended and both Bella and I headed for Gym together.
We separated to go to our respective locker rooms. We were going to play badminton during Gym and I finally understood what Bella had meant earlier on as she managed to hit others as well as herself during the game. I chuckled as she hit herself for the second time with the racket. The bell rang and we were dismissed as we headed to the locker rooms.
I waited for Bella outside of the female locker room for a few minutes before she came out rubbing her forehead, one of the many spots she had hit using her racket during Gym just now, all the while wincing at the pain. I walked up in front of her and took her hand away from her forehead before softly rubbing the bruise which had now turned to a dark blue color. She gasped softly and, afraid that I had hurt her, I removed my hand and apologized.
"It's alright," she assured me before laughing to herself, "I told you you'd find out in Gym. Being clumsy is one of the reasons why I hate Gym," I laughed along with her. As I opened the door for her, she muttered a quick thanks before waving goodbye. I waved back and headed to my Volvo where Alice and Emmett were waiting for me. I realized that Rosalie and Jasper had already left, seeing as how Rosalie's BMW was nowhere to be seen.
I sped home and went straight to my bedroom to start on my homework. When I was almost done with my homework, it was already dinner time and I headed down to the dining room, where everyone else was already seated. I quietly slid into my seat. While Emmett recounted my experience with Jessica and Lauren, Esme and Carlisle laughed at my expense as I faintly blushed in embarrassment. I quickly finished up my dinner and excused myself, wanting to finish up my homework. I was feeling drained by the time all of my homework was done and decided to just change into a pair of boxers before crawling into my bed to get some well-earned rest.
