Chapter 3

RRRIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!!!!!!!

First bell sounds as I round the corner to my first class of English at Forks High School. As I get into class I nearly run into the big jock from earlier but unfortunately that doesn't stop the next two kids running into me and then me hitting the jock.

CRASH!!!

I'm seeing stars as a cool hand reaches for my face. It seems to bring everything back into focus as I'm staring at the pixie girl as sound starts to come back to my brain.

"Are.......okay? C.......you get up?" she says in a quiet but sing song voice.

"Give me a minute. I think I just had my head rammed against concrete floor." I mumble.

"That's just my brother Malcolm. He works out a lot at home," she says with a grin. "The name is Jasmine. Jasmine Cullen."

"Are you related to Dr. Cullen?"

"Yeah, he's my uncle! How do you know him?" she asks. Her eyes are studying me awaiting my response.

"I've never met him but my mother got her job here due to Dr. Cullen's reputation. The name's Lir McKirnan." I say.

"OH!! You're Maggie's son! That explains a few things!" she says with a chuckle. She offers a hand which I take as she helps me up.

"Say you're sorry, Malcolm!" as she looks at the jock.

"He rammed into me. He should be apologizing to me!" he says with a bit of anger creeping into his voice.

She bats him on the arm and pushes him towards the desks, "He's sorry, really! Sorry about all that!"

"All right," says the teacher. "Everyone take a seat. I'm Mr. Graham and I'll be your teacher this year!"

He proceeds to go over what to expect in his class. I hear the words "surprise essays" from the teacher as his favorite method of student learning. Great. A couple of times in class I feel somebody drilling holes through my back with eyes and every time I look around all I can see is Malcolm and his angry glare. Fabulous! Enemy number two! This class can't get any worse as I watch the clock.

***********************

RING!

I look at my schedule and map to see where I'm heading to next. Math upstairs. I look around expecting Malcolm to be in my face but he's nowhere to be found and neither is Jasmine. Man they are quick.

As I get to Math, the teacher is standing in front of the door and handing out papers to everyone who enters. I see the tall blonde guy and the super model take a sheet and head inside. As I grab the sheet and head in I see a seat at the end of the class. I sit down as I hear a groan from beside me. I look over to see the super model with the same disgusted look in her eyes.

To her left the tall blonde guy again looks at me, and shrugs. I look back at her, with a smile on my face and make a paw with my hand. I mock slash the air while mouthing the words MEOW!

The blonde boy chuckles as the super model glares harder at me. I shrug and turn my attention back to the teacher.

"I'm Ms Blake and I'll be your Math teacher this year. Now we have a few new faces so I'm just going to do a roll call."

"Amber Dean?" a smallish girl at the front with glasses puts her hand up.

"Jason Grey?" a large black guy puts his hand up.

"Alex Hale?" the tall blonde guy put up his hand.

"Lee Hale?" the super model puts her hand up.

A number of other people put there hand up during this role call until it got to me.

"Lir McKirnan?" and my hand went up. Lee looked over at me with an angry look on her face but turned back to the teacher. Fabulous. Enemy number three.

*********************

RING!

Next up History over in the east building. I pack up my stuff and get ready to go when a hand smacks the back of my head. Ouch! I look up to see Lee Hale wandering past me, swaying as she goes. She makes sure she looks at me and smiles as she leaves the class. Alex again looks at me with that apologetic look.

I beat my feet over to the next building and get into class just before the next bell rings. Before I take the last seat, I notice the last two girls from the office sitting on opposite sides of the desk that is free. I keep my eyes front as the teacher starts handing out his course outline.

"I'm Mr. Smythe, and your History teacher. Now before we start today I would like to do a roll call." he says as he looks down at his list. "Please answer when I call your name."

"Carlie Cullen?"

"Present!" says another sing song voice from my left. The flushed girl speaks!

"Marie Cullen?"

"Here!" says voice of bells to from the pale girl to my right.

More names I couldn't remember even if I tried and then my turn.

"Lir McKirnan?"

"Present!"

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Carlie look over at me. She wears a mild look of distain on her face. Oh well at least she isn't glaring at me, I think to myself as the teacher drones on.

************************

RING!

I gather up my things and get the heck out of that classroom as fast as I can. That stuffy room with one open window was not helping my concentration level in there. It still is as I collide with another body at the door. The other person starts to fall as I reach out and stop them. It's not until I'm looking at those milk chocolate eyes that I realize it's Carlie Cullen. Her face is mask of dread as she looks to my hand, to my face and back to my hand.

"Sorry 'bout that. Wasn't paying attention. You okay?" I say defensively. I should have been watching where I was going.

"Yeah fine. Just let go. Thanks." she quickly spits out. She straightens herself out before leaving in a big hurry.

"Sorry don't know what got into her. She's usually very chatty." says the sound of bells from behind me. Marie Cullen with a small smile on her face is standing right there.

"My fault. Wasn't paying attention. Could of happened to anyone," I quickly blurt out and start walking. "I'm just having one of those days where everything that can go wrong, does go wrong!"

As she follows me, a small chuckle escapes her covered mouth. "I can remember felling the same way at our last school. I was the total klutz until our last year there. Than I seemed to grow into myself!" she finished with a giggle.

"Well your other family members don't seem to be as forgiving. I've now collided with both Carlie & Malcolm and Lee Hale seems to actively dislike me." says I with a small amount of dread in my voice.

"What happened with Malcolm and Lee?" she questions.

"I almost ran into him getting into class but then two other people shoved me into him. God I thought I hit a brick wall." She snickers at me but allows me to continue. "Then with Lee, well let's just say I didn't make a good first impression, I didn't try & help my situation out and she slapped the back of head as she left after class."

"Why she slap you?" she asked quietly.

I repeat the action to Marie that I did to Lee only this time I actually said, "Meow!"

She is now laughing quite a bit harder, "That would do it! She doesn't like anyone saying that about her openly."

"Doesn't make it less true!" I say with a little laugh.

"Touche!" she giggles as we reach the cafeteria. I get in line as she walks off. "Talk to you later!"

"Don't you need to eat?" I ask.

"Yes but our family already grabbed me something so I'll be okay. Thanks for asking!" she says with a smile and waves. She moves gracefully across the cafeteria floor to the table the rest of the Cullens and Hales are sitting at. They begin to chatter to themselves as I head over to the line up. I glanced over once and I could swear they were looking back at me as well. Half of them seemed indifferent to me and the other half very disgruntled. Three guesses who those three are. Ugh!
