Me: Sorry if it took me too long to update, I meant to do it last night but my parents flight to Ireland was canceled after their first plane to Newark had already landed. Safe to say they have to stay for another week and they got to fly back to the Carolinas ;p

Emmett: okay that's nice and all but seriously…WHO CARES! Get on with the story. Come on get to the good part already!

Edward: Emmett don't be rude! And what do you mean by the good part?

Emmett: Me of course! I didn't get to do much in the last chapter except act like a pack mule, which is so not cool by the way

Me: sorry Emmett but to be honest to make a really adorable pack mule. But enough with the silliness, I do not own anything twilight related, not even the characters, they belong to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer now lets get on with the story!

Chapter 3: Fuck my life

The weeks after my return home seemed to fly by. Leah never did get the chance to take my out for a torturous make over I mean shopping trip. Don't get me wrong she was off bed rest and my little niece/nephew was doing fine, it was my fault actually. So far in the course of the three weeks I have already been to the emergency room four times. The first one was from me tripping over a toy and falling down the stairs (I learned that falling up the stairs is less painful), Dr. McGreevy was very happy to see me again after so long (apparently not many people make return visits to the ER, who knew!). The second and third visits were so not my fault. Emmett thought it would be cool to play a family game of football and I ended up getting tackled by Em, Jacob, Sam and Emily (the sad part was Emily and Jacob were on MY TEAM!), when we went to get my sprained ankle looked at I met the new Dr. Carlisle Cullen. Boy was he a looker, for some reason he seemed really familiar but I couldn't put my finger on where I might have seen him before. He had the kind of face that a movie star would envy and I could tell his slightly graying blonde hair was natural, no one could buy that color blond (I should know, Renee went through the blond fad while I was living with her). The third trip to the ER was because Emmett forgot about my ankle when I had it propped up on the couch and he sat on it. I got to see Dr Cullen again, he thought it was funny. My fourth trip to the ER was because I fell out of the tree next to the house. Seth and I were playing Dragon Ball Z and he was using a beach ball for his Kamehameha wave and when it got caught in the tree I went and got it for him. Dr Cullen was once again my doctor and he was the one to put my broken wrist in a cast (and yelled at me for climbing a tree with a sprained ankle, apparently he thinks I have a death wish). For my last week remaining of summer I had to stay indoors and try not to hurt myself any further. And thanks to my wrist I couldn't even play my flute to occupy my time and holding a book open wasn't so easy either so I mainly sat with Leah while Jake, dad and Sue were at work and Emmett hung out with Seth in the back yard. It wasn't till the day before school was to start that I got my cast removed and was allowed to use a brace (A/N my sister broke her wrist last year and only had to use a cast for a short amount of time, it was more of a fracture but both my sister and I are clumsy as hell, its where I get my inspiration for all the crap that happens to Bella.)

All that leads me to today, where I am sitting in the kitchen trying to eat a bowl of Fruity Pebbles waiting for Emmett to finish getting ready so we can drive together in the "Red Hurricane", or the Cane for short (yes I named the truck, Emmett wanted to call it the Rolling wonder because it hasn't died yet but I didn't want to upset the truck, no one messes with the Red Hurricane!). The key word is trying to eat because I was woken up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 (school doesn't start till 8 people!) and that is not enough sleep for any teenager. I was having another one of my wonderful music camp dreams where me and lover boy were getting to know each other pretty well out by the lake when I was awoken by someone jumping on my bed and screaming.

"Come on Bells! Wake up wake up wake up! I wanna get to school early so you can meet my friends!" Emmett whined as he continued to jump up and down at the foot of my bed. Note to self, lock my door before I fall asleep tomorrow and find out how the hell the bed didn't break….

After the rude awakening and dad yelling up the stairs that Emmett better not break the bed, I managed to run to the bath room first and get ready for the day. Hence the waiting in the kitchen part. Where it took me only 15 min to get ready it seems my second favorite brother took forever in the morning. It was already 7 in the morning for crying out loud! And here I thought he had friends to meet! But I was in no rush to head out to Forks high home of the Spartans. I haven't seen most of the other students since middle school and let me tell you I wouldn't mind never seeing them again. School for me always sucked, don't get me wrong I always had really good grades and the teachers always liked me because I was the only Swan that didn't get sent to the principles office on a daily basses, but the other kids were another story. For some reason I just don't seem to be able to make friends with the kids who weren't in my music class. I did stay in touch with Angela and Ben, they were actually my friends and they were really sweet kids to hang with. Okay now its 7:15 and still no Emmett. I got up and put my bowl in the sink as I made my way to the bottom of the stairs to yell for him to hurry up if he wanted to meet his friends he would have to leave soon. I have no fear of waking up the rest of the house hold because they are all either at work or are heavy sleepers (no joke a bomb could go off in the back yard and no one would hear it).

"Emmett Jackson Swan if you aren't down here in 5 min me and the cane are leaving without you!" as soon as I finished my sentence he was at the top of the stairs.

"Sorry if I want to look awesome for the first day of senior year. Not everyone can just throw on a t-shirt and jeans and walk out the door." Em told me as he got to the last step. I turned and went back into the kitchen to grab our lunch boxes and head out the back door (yes I said lunch boxes, Seth would only get one if Emmett and I did so Em got Transformers while I picked Beauty and the Beast. Seth ended up getting a lunch box with some dude on it who had tools with eyes on them, talk about creepy). I went to get into the drivers seat when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"No way in hell are you driving to school." Stated Emmett as he took the keys out of my hand and redirected me to the passenger side of the truck. "I actually want to make it to school before the tardy bell rings thank you very much."

"no fair Em, I want to make it to school alive. You drive as though you have a lead foot half the time. How embarrassing would it be if dad or Sam had to pull us over and give us a ticket again?"

Emmett rolled his eyes at me as he walked around back to the driver's side and got in. "First of all that only happened once and no one else was around. And secondly, you are in no condition to drive because with your luck you will hurt your ankle again just by putting it on the gas peddle."

"Emmett, it was my left foot that got hurt, not my right." But I knew there was no arguing with him. He was older and bigger then me so if it came to a physical fight I was screwed with a capital S. Let's just say the ride to school was a quiet one.

When we got there the parking lot looked like it was starting to fill up so Emmett ended up parking next to a shiny Volvo that was right next to the entrance of the school. The Volvo looked really out of place next to the mini vans and trucks that the other students were driving. Standing in front of the Volvo was a tall blonde girl who looked like she could be a model and a short pixie looking girl with brown spiky hair who was jumping up and down like Seth when we let him have too much candy(finally it looks like there is someone who is shorter then me out in the world! Okay she looks to be about 5 ft even but when our short you take what you can get). Once the car stopped the tiny one wasted no time in running over and opening my door followed by putting me into a vice grip of a hug.

"HellothereyoumustbeIsabellaitissocooltofinallymeetyouwehaveheardsomuchaboutyoufromEmmettandourdadijustknowthatwearegoingtobethebestoffriends!" Holy shit what the hell did this girl just say? It sounded like complete and total gibberish. The blonde saw the look of confusion on my face and took pity on me.

"I apologize for my sister she can get a little hyper sometimes. You should see her when she drinks a red bull." By the blonde's small grimace I could tell that the pixie looking one shouldn't be given sugar either. "What Alice was trying to say was that it is nice to finally meet you after hearing about you for so long form Emmett and our father."

That's when it clicked. "Oh you guys are Dr Cullen's kids. I heard a little bit about you from Doc and Em." Now that I think about it they both had Dr Cullen's blue eyes and the Blonde had the same hair color. "If the hyper active pixie is Alice then you must be Rosalie." She nodded her head in agreement and I have to say that its no wonder that Em likes her she seems so sweet and the fact that she is a bomb shell makes her exactly his type.

Emmett finally got out of the truck and walked over to us carrying my instrument case and our book bags considering we put out lunch boxes away in our book bags already (it took him so long to get out of the damn truck because he was too busy laughing his ass off at my reaction to the pixie who still had me in a vice grip of a hug…I am going to need air sometime people!).

It appeared as though my silent prayer was answered because the car driver side door of the Volvo opened and a velvety voice that sent chills up my spine called out. (The good kind of chills not the bad kind of chills that you get when you watch a scary movie).

"Ali, let the poor thing go you are going to suffocate her!" the voice was masculine and even though it sounded like he was chastising her he didn't sound angry. Alice quickly let me go and gave me a small smile.

"Oppose sorry Isabella I didn't mean to get so carried away like that. I just get so excited when I meet new people that I forget myself sometimes." Thank god she talked a bit slower this time. "No problem" I told her "and please call me Bella, Isabella can be quite a mouthful to say all at once." I then turned around to thank my rescuer when I froze. Fuck my life!

Standing no more then 10 feet away from me was the guy who has been haunting my dreams for the past year, my mystery guy from camp (you know the one, I fell on him the very last day). He stood at maybe 6ft or 6 feet 1 inch and he still had the messy bronze hair that I remembered him having, only slightly shorter. His emerald green eyes looked right at me and I was afraid for a moment. I was afraid that he would recognize me from my most embarrassing moment, but after a minute he broke eye contact and looked towards the school entrance. I think he might have been annoyed at the fact that I was staring at him with my mouth hanging open. I shook my head and closed my mouth looking to see if the others had noticed me drooling. Emmett was talking to Rosalie about something so they weren't paying us much attention, but the little pixie was looking back and forth between my dream guy and me with an amused smirk on her face. She took it upon herself to introduce us.

"And this Bella is my big brother and Rose's twin Edward. They are only a little over a year older then me. I think you might have a few classes with them, especially music if that flute case is yours and not Emmett's."

Edward. His name is Edward. Oh my fucking god! This must be Emmett's friend Eddie that he had been telling me about over the last couple of years. I hope for his sake that Emmett never finds out he is the guy who has been the main feature in my dreams.

"Hello" I managed to stammer out. He didn't say anything to me, just kept looking at the school. He most definitely was much more polite in my own little world then in reality. I was turning back to Alice when I heard a girly shriek that I would recognize anywhere. It had to be Tanya. And I was right because soon after the annoying sound a bleach blonde tramp came running over and wrapped her arms around Edward. I watched in gut wrenching pain as Edward turned his head down and she stood on her tip toes to reach into the kiss. Again I shall say fuck my life. Just my luck that I finally found the guy and he already has a girlfriend. Not to forget that said girlfriend was bitch who made my middle school years hell on earth.

"How rude! She doesn't even say hello to the rest of us!" Alice put her hand on my arm and turned me back towards her. "Hey Bella let me see your schedule real quick I want to see if I have any classes with you."

"Um Alice aren't you a junior?" I asked with a confused expression. She obviously knew I was a senior if she made the comment earlier about having classes with her older siblings.

"Nope" said the pixie as she somehow managed to get my schedule out of my book bag without me realizing it. "I'm like you. I managed to skip a grade in Elementary school so we all ended up being in the same grade. We were never in the same classes until we moved here though, isn't living in a small town great?" and here comes the jumping again. " Look here we all have lunch and gym class together! You, Em, and Rose have English first, then you have math by yourself, followed by Spanish with me, lunch, biology with Edward, Band with Edward and I then Gym!" I think I am getting used to the fast talking because I actually understood all that. Wait a minute how did she know what classes everyone has?

"You have only seen my schedule how do you know what classes everyone has?" she is so weird but I think I might actually like her.

She looked at me as though she was talking to a small child, "Bella you are so silly. I already looked at and memorized everyone else's classes."

Tanya and Edward finally dis-entangled themselves and Tanya finally looked at me. She did a double take as though she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Well if it isn't the ugly duckling pretending to be a Swan." She faked looking excited. We will just say that there is no where in hell that she could ever make it as an actress.

"Hello Tanya long time no see" everyone was looking at us then and boy did Emmett look pissed.

"I see your mother finally got tired of you as well and sent you back. What a pity and here we all thought you might have found a place that would actually accept you. And what a record, only three years till she returned you." Yeppers she hasn't changed a bit, the hoe is still a bitch. I glanced at everyone else again. Rosalie and Alice looked confused, I would have to explain it to them later what she was talking about. Emmett looked as though Tanya was very lucky to be a girl because he had one hell of a murderous look in his eyes. The one look that I couldn't understand was Edward's. He looked mad as well but I don't understand why. He didn't remember me from last summer, and he doesn't know me so he cant be mad at me for upsetting his girlfriend. Can he?

I didn't have much time to ponder his reaction or say anything back to the wicked witch of forks when the bell rang signaling the start of the first day of classes. Tanya shot me one more glare before linking arms with a still pissed looking Edward and headed inside the school followed by the rest of us. This should be fun.

If the first half hour before classes even started was anything to go by my morning should have sucked, right? Wrong! My morning was a blast. In our English class, our teacher went over the syllabus and gave us the rest of the class period to get to know the rest of the students in the class. Emmett and I played paper football while Rose (she told me to call her Rose if I wanted her to call me Bella and she liked my nickname for the bitch, I mean Tanya, apparently Rose can turn into a badass if you piss her off enough, which reminds me note to self: stay on Rose's good side.). It turned out that I wasn't going to have to sit in my math class all alone because my old friends Angela and Ben had it with me (which is good because I hate math). We talked as the teacher went over what to expect for the year and managed to catch up on what had been going on in the last three years. Apparently the Cullen's and Emmett were on the top of the food chain as far as the social higharchy was concerned. Tanya and her followers were tolerated because she was with a Cullen (damn another stab in the heart overtime I hear about the two of them). In Spanish class I ended up seated next to Alice and we wrote notes back and forth during the lesson. It wasn't until lunch that things started to go down hill.

Since our Spanish classroom was one of the furthest from the main building we were one of the last ones to make it to the cafeteria. Emmett was next to Rose, Edward was busy with the wicked witch who was sitting next to him and Emmett, the only two seats left were next to Edward and Rose. Since we both brought our lunch we walked straight to the table and sat down, Alice next to Rose, which left me to sit next to Edward (no pressure or anything to act normal). Not a problem right? That's what I thought at first. It happened while Emmett was explaining to Rose and Alice about my balance issues when someone else decided to put her two cents in( seriously that is all she has to offer, must be something in the hair dye that kills brain cells).

"It's why she will always be known as the ugly duckling around here. Not only is she ungraceful, but she doesn't have the looks that go along with being called a Swan." Yep that hurt, she needed to learn better insults.

Rose just looked at Tanya. "Hunny I wouldn't be talking if I were you. She is definitely much better looking then you." I didn't know if that was a complement or not but I think I will take it. Tanya continued to talk, completely ignoring the comment.

"And what are you doing back here anyway? I thought your mommy took you away. You have no idea how happy we all were when you left. Even Leah and Emmett threw a party. I guess your dad and Mrs Swan were real happy to be rid of you."

"Don't you dare accuse me of such a thing!" Emmett slammed his hands down on the table. "You have no idea what you are even talking about you stupid bitch! What happened three years ago is between my family. Is your last name Swan? Nope, didn't think so." Did I ever mention that my brother can turn scary when he gets mad? Its like watching Winnie the Pooh turn into a grizzle bear with a machine gun instead of a hunny pot. The lunch room got really quiet. I could feel every one's eyes turned to our table and I could feel my face start to get redder and redder. After about 5 minutes I had as much as I could handle of the stares. I quickly gathered my things and left the cafeteria. I spent the rest of lunch in the library.

Biology went well after that surprisingly. I got to have a desk all to myself in the front row. The only problem was that Edward and Tanya had this class and I could feel both of them staring at me from the back of the classroom. I wanted to bang my head on the table to relieve some of the stress (that or knock myself unconscious).

The one class I was looking forward to was band class. I can always find an escape when I play my music. The only problem was our music teacher was sick at the moment and they didn't have a substitute to teach the class. We ended up having to sit in the library and keep quiet. Alice and I spent the time passing notes. She asked me what I was doing over the weekend and when I told her that my sister was taking me shopping she asked if she could come along. I was about to tell her no when she gave me the most sorry looking puppy dog pout I have ever seen (she looked like I ran over her puppy or something). I wrote that she could come along with us if it was okay with her parents. It wouldn't hurt to have someone on my side when I go shopping with Leah, maybe I can get away with not having to try anything on and she can keep Leah from getting out of hand. When the bell was rung I stood up with a groan.

"What's wrong? Do you feel sick?" Alice was walking with me to gym with Edward not too far behind us.

"I feel fine, I'm just not good in gym, I failed it my freshman year at my old school."

Alice just looked at me. "How do you fail gym?"

"Trust me Alice," I started as we went into the locker room to change, "after you see me in a gym class you are going to wish we didn't have the same class."

We quickly changed and ran to the bleachers where the rest of the gang was sitting. Emmett was practically jumping for joy. I started to get very, very nervous.

"We are playing a game you like aren't we?" I asked him.

"yep"

"It involves throwing a ball doesn't it?"

"Yep"

"We are playing dodge ball aren't we?"

"Yep"

"I can hide behind you right?"

Emmett looked at me and started laughing. "Yep but you will have to move fast". I prayed to god that we were on the same team. And as luck would have it….we weren't. I was going to die in gym class.

Fuck my life.

A/N: the next chapter will be in Edward's point of view on seeing Bella and will feature what happens in gym class. Tell me what you think ;p and don"t worry Jasper will be making an appearance soon with in the next couple of chapters.
