Chapter 7: Britney

Nessie's POV

Carlisle called Marty in and he lectured both him and I. He lectured us about the dangers of our eating habits and all the health issues that I was now at risk for because of my high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high sugar levels. He gave us so many pamphlets and lists of easy to make healthy foods and excercising that I lost count of how many we had now.

"I'm also going to prescribe you medicine Nessie" Carlisle said.

"Medicine for what?" I asked.

"It is to help you lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. It is urgent that we get these levels lowered as soon as possible" he said. "I also want to see you back here soon to check on your blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol levels"

"Okay" I said.

Carlisle then let us go. I went and picked up my prescriptions, which also I flexed painkillers for my ankle. Marty helped me get into the car and drove home. We ate dinner as soon as we got home. I savored my four chili cheese dogs and chili cheese fries before I went on a diet of rabbit food.

Then I went upstairs, which was quite a task thanks to my ankle, and began to work on my song that's due on Friday.

I sat there for a long time trying to think of something but nothing came to mind. I got up and started pacing my bedroom racking my brain for some sort of inspiration. But nothing came.

I opened my window. Maybe some fresh fall air will help me think so I looked out of my window and longed to climb onto the tree that grew next to my window. I would have climbed out had it not been for my ankle. I had always been a good climber except I've lost count of how many broken bones I have had over the years from falling out of trees. Although they always healed in a week which people found really strange. I could never figure out why. Okay so I break the weird scale both mentally and physically. I mean honestly I think an alien from planet Mars could fit in better than I could. I sighed deeply as I gazed at the forest that surrounded our street.

A twig snapped and caught my attention as I focused my eyes deeper into the forest. I gasped as a saw a quick flash of russet fur then nothing else. It was probably just an animal I told myself. God I need to stop reading science fiction comics from my brother.

I ran my tongue over my front teeth which apparently were a lot shaper than the average tooth. So I was what a vampire? I dismissed the idea. Vampires don't exist.

I closed my window. It was getting pretty late and I had school in the morning. Maybe a good night's sleep will help me think of a song for Friday. I got ready for bed as I was still trying to think of an opening line for my song. Ugh this was harder than I thought. I just kept coming up blank. I sighed as I got into bed and pulled the covers over me and snuggled up under them. I let my eyes shut as a drifted into a peaceful sleep.

What seemed like only minutes later it was morning again. I got out of bed. Rather slowly and reluctantly I might add. I was afraid to face Britney at school today. I still had not forgotten that she was going to get revenge on me for having told on her. Then there is the fact that I'm injured which won't help me at all.

As soon as I got to school I saw Britney who looked rather angry, and I had a feeling that I knew why. Thankfully she didn't see me. It was imperative that I avoid her at all costs. Well, I always avoided her, but now it was especially important.

As I walking into the building I felt several eyes staring at me. When I looked back I saw the Cullen kids staring at me. What was their interest in me? I'm not that interestin. In fact, I'm not interesting at all. Bella started shaking when she looked at me. She looked like she was fighting back tears. Edward had to hold her steady. I don't know why, but it made me sad to see her that way. I a very strong desire to go over there and comfort her. But I chose not to. We're complete strangers, so it would be a bit odd if I just went over there and comforted her.

I saw Edward whisper something into her ear. Then she looked at me shocked. The bell for class chose that moment to ring.

I tore my eyes away from the Cullens and began walking to class. I didn't pay much attention to what my teacher was saying. In all honesty I really didn't care. Edward and the short pixie like girl seemed to be paying more attention to me then to the lesson. I really wished that they would stop staring at me.

In English I had a writing assignment to do. I nearly got another detention because I got into it with my teacher over a couple of 'spelling errors' which cost me quite a few points. My teacher even went as far as to call me stupid for my spelling mistakes. Well excuse me for growing up in London where many words are spelled differently then their American counterparts. I just haven't learned all of the words that were spelled differently.

I left that class just boiling with rage.

"Nessie?" I heard someone say.

"What?!" I shouted as I slammed my locker and nearly broke it.

It turned out to be Monica. She flinched under my murderous gaze. I instantly felt guilty.

"I'm sorry" I apologize. "It's Mrs. Dodd" Mrs. Dodd was the name of English teacher. I had never had her before now but I've heard she was terrible.

She sighed "What did she do?"

"She decided to embarrass me and call me stupid just because I used the British spelling for some words on an assignment" I felt the rage build in me as I thought of the whole incident.

"How is it that she is allowed to do that?" she said. "It seems so wrong. You should report her. Honestly you should" Monica said.

"I don't know" I said. "I don't exactly have the best reputation with anyone around here"

"But you've never lied before" she said.

"Well that's true" I said.

"Nessie what is wrong with your ankle?" she asked with concern coloring her voice. She must've noticed the way that I was walking.

"Twisted it pretty badly last night" I then went on to explain exactly what happened last night.

"Where is Erica?" I asked.

"I don't know. Maybe her class is getting out late?" she answered.

The first thing I noticed when we had gotten to the cafeteria was that Sammy was sitting with Bella. Bella wasn't sitting with her family. I thought that was kind of odd. When Bella noticed that Monica and I were there she smiled and invited us over as well.

We got our food and started walking over there.

I didn't realize who I was walking by until it was to late. Britney stuck her leg out in front of me and sent me sprawling onto the floor and Monica landed beside me. I nearly screamed out in pain when Britney knocked her scorching hot soup all over me.

She and her friends laughed. "Oops, I'm sorry" she said with a devellish grin. "I'm just so clumsy"

I felt the tears begin to form in my eyes.
