Tanya POV:
I woke up starving this morning, I decided to skip dinner last night hoping it would make me look skinnier in my too snug uniform. It didn't work.
I was standing in front of my full length mirror. The outfit the girls had picked out for me was cute, on the hanger, but on me it just hugged all of my unwanted curves. I wanted to cry. I was so excited about this day and now I just felt ugly and fat.
I grabbed my Nokia and dialed Rosalie's number. After two rings it went straight to voice mail. Stop being a baby. I scolded myself in the mirror before I began to put on my make up that Rosalie had taught me how to properly apply.
Kate POV:
I barely got any sleep last night. I could feel the thump Irina's headboard made against the wall as her and her boyfriend Royce did god knows what. And then I thought about Rosalie and Royce. When she had stayed behind yesterday I know it had something to do with him. Why was she going after him, he was dating Irina? And was Royce actually starting to like Rosalie? I mean if he didn't then why would he want to talk to her a second time?
These questions plus the thumping against my wall were to blame for the dark circles I had underneath my eyes. I tried to cover them with concealer, but it wasn't working. I called Rose to see if she had any concealer I could use. When I called it went to voicemail after one ring. Did she just ignore my call?
Alice POV:
I woke up feeling great and full of energy. I did my hair and make up perfectly. The outfit the girl's had chosen looked so cute and I felt so good in it. Only one thing. I was tempted to wear my red heels that matched the cardigan. I mean Rosalie was wearing heels so they where obviously fashionable and I was the shortest one in the group so it would make since that I should wear heels.
I examined my two choices. The brown Anthropologie boots Rosalie had picked out for me. Or the red leather heels that would match Rosalie's and make me look taller?
I decided to call Rosalie, but it went straight to voicemail. I shrugged and put the boots on while packing the heels in my purse.
Bella POV:
I woke up feeling extra crappy for some reason. Then I found out why, I was on my period, GREAT!
I was in need of a serious confidence boost so I decided to call Rose, but it went straight to voice mail? That was odd, but I followed Rosalie's advice anyway and took a Midol so I didn't end up a crying mess in the bathroom with cramps by the end of the day.
Rosalie POV:
Every single one of the girl's had called me this morning it was so annoying that I eventually just turned off my blackberry curve. I plugged in my ipod touch the pink ipod dock Jasper had gotten me for Christmas last year and let the speakers blast my favorite songs.
When Hilary Duff's new song Coming Clean came on I belted out the lyrics so loud my mother knocked on my door and told me to knock it off.
I finished applying my mascara and then stood back to take a look at my full self in the mirror. My Forks Libiton Academy Uniform was tight in all the right areas and loose in the others, it fit perfect surprisingly, usually they never get school uniform sizes right. The navy blue boyfriend blazer that Tanya picked out was the exact same color blue on our uniform so it matched perfectly. I latched my Tiffany's necklace clip and brought it around so the charm was in front of my neck. Then I slipped on my white L.A.M.B heels and sprayed my Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume.
Damn I look even hotter than usual. I looked at myself one last time in the mirror and did a 360 degree spin. Yep perfect.
I skipped downstairs to where Jasper was already eating his usual morning breakfast, a bowl of Rice Krispies and Soy Milk because mom wouldn't buy 2%. I grabbed a bowl and snatched away the cereal before Jasper could poor himself another bowl. He stuck his tongue out at me and I mirrored his expression.
"So who are you riding with to school?" I asked as we ate our breakfast.
"Emmett and Edward"
Awh, yes Edward Cullen had been visiting his family in Chicago all summer, it was unfortunate not getting to see his angel face everyday, but Edward was an asshole so I managed.
"You riding with your new groupies?" Jasper asked as he slurped the milk down from his bowl.
"Of course" I replied making a disgusted face when he burped after downing the entire contents of his bowl.
It was 7:55 and the girls would be here any minute so I grabbed my new white Jansport backpack and headed outside to the Land Rover.
While waiting I watched as Edward and Emmett arrived in Edward's dad's navy blue jaguar to take them all to school. They both waved at me and I waved back with a wink. Jasper came out gave me a quick hug and then got into the back seat of the car with Emmett.
I spotted Kate walking towards me and honestly, she looked like shit. I expected a lot better from her. She was the prettiest one in the group, besides me.
"I called you" said when she reached me.
"My phone was dead" I shrugged. Then I smirked at her. "Nice bags" I added.
She glared at me. "Irina and Royce where keeping me up all night banging against my wall." She growled out.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
"That's fucking disgusting" I spat out.
Kate looked at me surprised by my anger, I just played it off with the old Irina's a bitch so she did I it on purpose to make you mad routine. I went to grab my Blackberry and send out a very nasty worded text message to a very unfortunate receiver, but of course I forgot it in my room after I turned it off. I didn't feel like going to get it and I surely wasn't trusting Kate too, so I just left it. The other's arrived shortly after Kate and we all piled into my father's sleek, white Land Rover and headed for Forks Libiton Academy.
Kate POV:
I was in the backseat sitting in the middle between Bella and Tanya. Alice had to sit on Bella's lap since there wasn't enough room. I was just looking at the scenery as we made our way through Forks and to the Academy. Honestly, I was still shook up by how angry Rosalie seemed earlier. I mean I knew she liked Royce, who didn't, but the way she acted when she found out, she acted jealous. Oh. My. God. Was Rosalie Hale jealous. Nope just wishful thinking on my part. Jealousy was not a quality Rosalie possessed. Besides she had nothing to be jealous of, her life was perfect.
Mr. Hale slowed to a stop and everyone took a deep breathe as they opened the car doors. They all piled out onto the front steps of Forks Libiton Academy. Rosalie got in the middle and lynched arms with me and Bella, while Alice and Tanya filled in the outer parts. Rose gave us the perfect confident smile and began to lead us up the stairs.
People turned and stared. Whispers could be heard around the courtyard, but it only fed my confidence. By the time we walked into the courtyard it was as if everyone was waiting for our arrival. People where turned facing the entrance and as soon as they saw us and gawked for a few seconds they turned back to their friends and whispered to them about us. It made me smile.
We passed Jane Molina and Chelsea Ware on our way to our first class. Rosalie gave them the evil eye and I just smiled at them. They where so jealous, everybody was. Once we reached the 7th grade building we all separated to go to our first period class. Lucky for me I had Bella with me.
We walked into the Algebra class that advanced 7th graders and average 8th graders shared together. To my brilliant surprise Edward Cullen was in this class also. I grabbed Bella and quickly took the seat behind Edward before anyone else could. Bella sat beside me to my right. I spent the time before the bell rang ogling Edward and talking to Bella, turns out we both had crappy mornings.
When the final bell sounded a tall, skinny man walked in. He wore green pants, with a brown belt, and the ugliest patterned shit I've ever seen, but his face was that of a sweet old man.
"Hi class I'm Mr. Cramer" He introduced himself. That was about the only part I paid attention to. The rest of class Mr. Cramer spent talking about all we would learn in Algebra this year while me and Bella passed notes talking about how cute Edward was.
When the bell rang I said goodbye to Bella and headed to make next class, English.
Tanya POV:
My first period had gone by without incident. It was art and I sat at a table with a girl named Shelby, she seemed nice enough but Rosie would probably call her a loser, and I am not a loser anymore, therefore I can't be friends with losers. I kind of felt bad though because every time the girl tried to make conversation I just stuck my nose in the air snootily and mostly ignored her, but answered with a few head nods here and there.
It was now second period and I had basic math because I wasn't smart like Rosalie, Bella, Kate, and Alice who all had Algebra.
I walked into the classroom nervous as to where I was going to sit. The classroom was mostly empty except for a boy wearing a black hoodie over his uniform with the hood pulled up covering his face. He sat in the farthest comer of the classroom and next to the window. I sat as far away from him as I could.
When most of the students had arrived and I thought this class would be as easy to deal with as art, Jane Molina walked in and gave me that evil smile of hers. She took the seat that was two desk in front of me and a row over. When she was seated she turned around and glared at me. I adjusted uncomfortably under her gaze.
When the teacher came in he introduced himself as Mr. Ross and then began roll call.
"James Thadford."
"Here." said a smooth, sexy voice.
Everyone in the classroom turned to see who it was. I had never heard the name before he had to be new here. When I located the owner of the name I was surprised. It was the boy in the black hoodie that sat in the furthest corner. But that guy seemed so creepy and that voice just wasn't that of a creepy person. When I turned back to look at him I realized he was staring at me from under his hoodie. I checked to make sure there was nothing on my face, no; uniform, no. Nothing, but he was still just staring.
"Tanya Richardson" the teacher called.
"He-here." Great I stuttered. I was so embarrassed I put my head and my hands and took a deep, calming breath before looking back at James, but he wasn't looking at me anymore, or at least I didn't think he was. His face was completely covered with his hood.
"Jane Molina"
"He-here" Said Jane in a high nasally voice, purposely stuttering. Everyone laughed at her joke that she made at my expense. Mr. Ross fixed her with a hard look to which Jane fixed him with a smile.
Now I could really just die. After Mr. Ross finished roll call he began listing the classroom rules. I mostly ignored him until I heard his voice grow louder.
"And no hoods!" he yelled as he pulled the hood on James's jacket off of his head revealing a short ponytail of blonde hair. James looked mad and glared at Mr. Ross as he retreated from James desk. Then he turned his glare on me. I quickly looked away and kept my head mostly down for the rest of the class period.
The bell couldn't have come soon enough and when I was about to leave my exit was blocked by none other than Jane Molina and Chelsea Ware.
"How desperate must Rosalie have been to let your fat ass join her clique" asked Chelsea.
Jane laughed along "I don't know, but she's not the worst I mean have you seen the rest of those girls?" Jane asked and they both began laughing.
I wanted to stand up for myself and tell them to both go to hell. I wanted to stand up for my friends and tell them that they were better friends than those two could ever have and that they where just jealous because Rosalie was prettier than the both of them combined. But I couldn't I just remained frozen there as they took turns taking jabs at me and my friends.
When they were finally done I was left in tears standing in the doorway as their laughing forms retreated down the hallway. I grabbed my purse and bolted for the bathroom.
Rosalie POV:
I was sitting on a fallen tree in the woods behind FLA waiting for him to show up. I know it's wrong to skip class especially on the first day, but this was really important. I checked my Juicy Couture jelly watch to see what time it was. 10:30, third period was half way over by now he's obviously not coming stupid bastard.
I jumped off the tree and brushed my butt off before stealthily sneaking back into the school. Instead of heading for my locker I decided to go to the bathroom. In there, I found Tanya crying.
"Tan what's wrong?" I asked.
"Jane and Chelsea are so mean" she chocked out between sobs.
Seriously? She's crying this hard about those two losers. Tanya was sweet and I loved her and all but she was so weak. Anytime anyone would look at her funny or say something not quite right she got all depressed for the rest of the day. She really needed to learn to stick up for herself and stop expecting me to do everything for her.
"Tanya stop crying" I said.
It took her a few minutes, but she finally calmed down.
"I'll take care of Chelsea and Jane, but this is the last time you've got to learn to stick up for yourself."
She nodded in agreement and I helped her clean her face and redo her make up.
"Hey Rosalie what are you doing out of class anyways?" she asked as I was putting the finishing touches to her top layer of eyeliner.
"I was going to get a drink of water and decided to stop by the restroom, the teacher won't even notice I'm gone though" I lied smoothly.
I confronted Chelsea and Jane in the cafeteria where there where many to witnesses to their embarrassment. I marched right up to their table where they along with some loser sixth grader's sat.
"Mess with my friend's again and you're dead" I growled.
The younger girls at the table starred at me wide-eyed and people from the other table's where turned in their seats to watch the show.
"Really?" Asked Jane confidently "What are you going to do?" she asked slyly.
I just smirked. Did they really want to play this game? They knew I would win, I always do.
"You know well enough that I have enough dirt on both of you" I said turning my eyes on Chelsea, "To have you begging mommy and daddy to let you leave Forks."
They both exchanged glances and looked up at me fear etched on their faces. They both just nodded slightly. I smiled as I made my way back over to my table. The cafeteria was abuzz with the news of the confrontation that just took place between FLA's Queen Bee and two former populars'.
Bella POV:
Today had been one heck of a day so far. I had two out of four of my morning classes with the amazingly hot Edward Cullen and I witnessed a Rosalie Hale take down. I've got to admit even that glare had me shaking in my Marc Jacob's flats.
After saying goodbye to the girls after lunch I headed towards my next class, Science. When I walked in there was only one seat left and of course it was next to Edward Cullen. He smirked as I came and sat beside him.
"Stalking me Bella?" he asked.
I stopped dead in my tracks.
"You know my name?" I asked shyly.
"Yeah, your Rosalie's friend right?" he asked hesitantly, but why?
"Right!" He laughed and turned in his seat while the teacher came in did the normal boring intro to this class thing. I just stared at Edward from the corner of my eye the whole time. How was I expected to be able to concentrate on my school work when Adonis himself was in the room.
Kate POV:
So far I had half my classes with Eleazer Campbell. Him and I entered all the same academic competitions, always coming down to a decimal point to decide the winner. He and I used to study together all the time even though he did have that annoying streak in him he seemed okay, but that was back in sixth grade, this is seventh a completely different ball game and Kate Denali no longer associated with losers like Eleazer Campbell.
Alice POV:
Today was the perfect first day. Rosalie was right the boots really completed the outfit. I couldn't tell how many compliments I had gotten on them. It was weird how suddenly people who weren't even associated with swim team knew who I was just because I was friends with Rosalie Hale, but still it felt amazing.
By the end of the day I could see that all of the girls looked on top of the world, except for Rosalie, who should because she totally just took down the two girls that stole her time capsule flag piece in front of the entire 6th and 7th grade. She should be the one wearing the biggest smile out of all of us, yet she wasn't.
I wanted to talk to her tell her I was there for her for anything she needed, anything…
Rosalie POV:
I had all of the girl's over after school to have the after school gossip session. We all got a good laugh at that disgusting looking fleece sweater Jessica Stanley was wearing. And of course the even more pathetic Lauren Mallory. The girl was desperately trying to be cool, she copied every single thing I did. Last year for the first day of school I wore a white lace jacket over my uniform and guess what Lauren was wearing for this year's first day of school? Yes, a white lace jacket.
We laughed at how pathetic those two wore for about an hour. I was trying my best to stay away from my phone until everybody had left to which I had succeeded. By 5:00 everybody was gone and I went upstairs to turn on my blackberry curve.
5 new messages!
I sighed and began to open them and read them.
Rosalie should I wear heels or boots!
That was obviously from Alice. Of course she didn't even think about wearing heels until I had decided to.
Rosie I don't think my outfit is working
That was from Tanya. I almost felt sorry for ignoring her this morning, but I didn't. That girl needed to learn how to take care of herself.
The next to where from Kate and Alice just asking how my day had been so far. I don't know why Kate would've texted me when she knew my phone was at home? Whatever.
The last message was from him.
Meet me park midnight
Should I go even thought he ditched me earlier today? I thought about it over dinner, and during my shower, and while laying in bed trying fall asleep. When it was 11:40 and I realized I wasn't going to be able to sleep until I saw him I hopped out off bed, slipped on my Ugg boots, and climbed down the terrace.
When I got to the park I saw him sitting on a swing checking his phone. I slowly walked up to him, but he heard me coming from the gravel that was crushing beneath my feet. He immediately jumped up to greet me. I glared at him, but it resolved after getting a good look into those precious blue eyes of his.
I hugged him and he hugged me back.
"I love you, Rosalie" He whispered into my hair.
"I love you too, Royce."
