Whoo! It's the weekend! Gawd, this week has been so weird! First of all, I only had 3 days of school, second, I feel like it's only Wednesday, and thirdly, I have to go to synagogue tonight. I haven't been to synagogue in years! Lol weird, right?
Well, here's the chapter you've all been waiting for. Although, aren't you waiting for every chapter!
Chapter Seven: Periods
BPOV
I walked with Jasper till we reached the building. He was going into the class to the right and I was in the left, so we parted ways. That was the first time it occurred to me that he might be older than me. What if he had a girlfriend? He was pretty hot, it was expected. But I really hoped he didn't, and if he did, did he have a twin brother?!
My class was Trig. Ugh, I hate math. I mean, I was pretty good at it, at Geometry at least, but Trig made no sense. What was with all the tangents and cosigns? It sounded like something my mom would sign if she got a divorce! Cosign, cosigns, signs…
This was the only class I had to stand up and introduce myself. I was a little nervous, I mean, what if someone recognized me and didn't believe my very bad lie? But I'd managed to make it through the speech with only a little bump as I told them my name.
I almost ran to the safety of a seat in the back. A girl, short with curly brown hair, turned to me and said, "Hi! I'm Jess! Do you wanna sit with me today at lunch?"
I paused before answering. What if Jasper was going to ask me? I figured since he hadn't already, I wasn't promised anything, so I agreed and she asked to see my schedule. I handed it over and she scanned it quickly.
"Cool! We have second and third period together! Oh! And eighth! Cool!"
She seemed like the really bouncy type. I guess that was common here. Math sped by relatively quickly. I had learned this all at home; we were one chapter ahead. I silently thanked Gawd for that. At least I wouldn't have to study to catch up to math.
The bell rang and I tried to run out to Jasper but Jess grabbed my arm and offered to show me to our next class. I smiled thinly, but didn't say anything. She took my smile as acceptance and dragged me out and toward the building next door.
A tall girl with mousy brown hair joined us. "Hi, I'm Angela," she murmured. She seemed quieter and softer than all the other girls I'd met so far. I liked her automatically. She seemed like a good second-in-command.
Hey! I'm just getting prepared! These girls should be worshipping me any minute now…
JPOV
Bella didn't meet me after class and I breathed a sigh of relief. I really didn't need some girl clamping onto my arm at this moment. Edward did, not me.
I set off for my next class with only a glance behind me. I saw Bella emerge, being dragged by Jessica Stanley. Poor girl, Jess was pretty possessive.
My next class was in the main building: Tech with Alice and Emmett. It was my favorite class and I couldn't wait to tell them all about my encounter with Bella. Alice might freak for a little while, but she'd calm down once she saw that if she thought I was cute, she'd have no problem with switching to Edward. He was one hot hunk of man-meat, or so I've heard…
Alice was already there, and she'd seen that I had dirt. I swear, that girl may be short, but when she gets hyper she's six feet tall. It's scary… but I love her!
I took my seat and didn't say anything. I wanted to wait till Emmett was there. Alice, on the other side of the room, was practically touching the ceiling!
The bell rang. Emmett was late, again. I figured he was somewhere with Rosalie. Jeez, will those two ever learn that it's just not possible to have sex in a school closet in only three minutes! Vampire speed or not, it's just not gonna happen.
Class started but I wasn't paying attention. Alice kept sending me whispers that our classmates couldn't hear. It was bugging me so much! I told her to calm down, that I'd tell her later. I made sure to send a wave of peace over her, just in case…
Emmett finally waltzed in ten minutes late, hair disheveled and clothes wrinkled. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what he'd been doing.
He handed his pass to the teacher and took his seat next to me. "Yo, Jazz, why is Alice looking like she's about to pop a blood vessel? Something you're not telling," he joked.
"I was gonna tell her, but you were late. I want to tell you all at the same time." The teacher was explaining how to use the sander—something I'd done endless times. I zoned out and tried to calm Alice down.
He finally stopped talking and dismissed us to our work. Alice ran over—pushing the limit on human speed—and almost wrung my neck in anticipation.
"Tell meeeeee!" she screamed.
"Ok, come with me." I headed over to our usual station; it was separate from the rest of the class.
The followed and I explained the whole "Bella in love with me" thing. I swear Alice was already plotting how to kill her when I told them about her stomach flips.
"I. Will. Kill. That. Fucked. Up. Druggie." Alice said with clenched teeth. I was getting really worried. Bella was needed alive if we were ever going to get her and Edward together.
I explained that to her and she seemed to calm down, at least a little. I finished my story with telling her about Jessica and how Bella seemed to be doing okay. She wasn't as bitchy as Alice had made her seem, maybe she and Edward would work!
EPOV
I may have been outside and as far away as it was possible in a school this size, but I could still here their thoughts. Alice, Emmett, and Jasper's that is. They were plotting how to get Bella and me alone together. I felt like I was going to faint, or kill someone. Since the first one was impossible, I tried to think of an alternative, killing someone wouldn't be good for my reputation.
I really didn't see how I was meant for that surgically enhanced Barbie doll. I mean I wasn't some Ken doll. I was Edward, meant for no one. At least, that's how I thought of myself.
So, while I was trying to concentrate on French, despite the fact that I'd learned the entire language three times already, I was assaulted by the nasty, dirty, R-rated thoughts of Emmett and the happy, perky, PG-rated thoughts of Alice, and the confused, bored thoughts of Jasper. So far I liked Jasper best.
I tried searching for an unfamiliar voice, Bella's, but I couldn't find anything. Maybe she was too unfamiliar or too out of reach. I wasn't sure, but something was wrong.
BPOV
I sat next to Jess and Angela in English. The teacher had given me a list of the books we were reading this semester. I briefly checked it over: easy. I'd read most of this stuff in my old school, and the ones I hadn't were classics that I knew a lot about. Maybe getting through this year would be easy! It was only six months anyway.
Six months, only six months in this fire pit of hell. Oh Gawd help me…
English and Spanish passed in a daze of images of New York, the gossips, the scandals, and the fun. Oh how I missed it.
The bell rang, shaking me out of my daydream. Lunch was next. I pulled my phone out and sent a text to Tiffany: Hey Tiff! What's up?
I needed a familiar voice, or should I say familiar text.
Jess showed me the way to the cafeteria and I got into line to buy lunch. All the options looked disgusting. Well, I guess even 3,000 miles away, some things never change!
Tiffany's POV
I had called every famous relation of Bella's and every person who knew her, no one had any idea where she was. I smelled a rat, a well-hidden rat. I figured since no one who knew Bells knew where she was, I had no choice but to go to the center: Bella herself.
Luckily, Bella reached me before I could reach her. Hey Tiff! What's up? Her text read, ha! She had no idea what was up. What was down, though, was her reputation and credibility. I was going to be the new It girl in New York; I was going to make sure of that.
I texted her back: Nothing, whr r u? Maybe she would slip up and lead me to a story!
Until then, I had parties to go to, people to see, and hot guys to make out with…
JPOV
After fully relating my story and telling her everything, I let the gears in her head turn. She had so many plans up there, all with one goal: get Edward his dream girl. Wow, and I thought Esme was obsessed with getting him hitched!
I turned on the machines and started sanding my car. We were making Derby cars this month. Simple, but fun, and we could race them at the end of the month. I held the record for fastest car in three schools and I was hoping to make this the fourth.
Emmett was next to me and I could feel his excitement. He and I weren't really sure what was going to happen next in this crazy situation the It girl had caused, but he was going into it with a positive attitude. Me? I was just trying to make it through half-alive and with a girlfriend who hadn't gone senile!
I worked for a few minutes before the bell rang. We had lunch next, where Edward finally got to get a good look at Bella 'Swan.' He wouldn't talk to her, but he would stare at her incessantly. Edward was so predictable…
This was a really long chapter, so no complaining! Ok, the end was filler, sorry. I just wanted to hit my longest chapter so far…
Review please! Next chapter is lunch and biology!
