Chapter 8
It turns out it was neither one of us who answered, "Excuse me mum, but may I talk to Mrs. Brandon for a moment?" It was another gorgeous looking man, how many of these people were there coming to our school?
"Of… of course Dr. Cullen." The teacher stuttered. She obviously thought that this Dr. Cullen was hands… wait… Dr. Cullen? OH SHIT! I followed him out of the classroom, my brain going at twice the speed as when the teacher had confronted me. This was the man that had caused my father's anger; this was the man that had the power to tell my secret. I had to come up with something good now!
Once we were out of earshot of the building he turned on me, but not in an unkind way. His eyes were very soft and gentle, almost father like. "Is there something that has happened to you lately, that might affect your health?" He asked me right out of the blue. I had been expecting it, but not with the chances for loopholes like this one had.
"Well, I did fall off my bike last night." I said, attempting to dispatch the questions about the bruises right away, it didn't work. He looked at me with skeptical eyes, and just sighed.
"Well if you ever need to tell anyone anything, let me know, I'm here to help." He then turned on his heels and left. That was extremely strange! I walked back to class and apologized to the teacher before taking my seat beside Bella. The rest of the morning flew past until it was lunchtime.
When we sat down at our table the Cullen's and Hales joined us soon after. Once again Jessica Stanley did not look happy. To my surprise Rosalie sat down next to me and introduced the rest of her family to us.
"That's Edward, Jasper, and this is Emmett." She pointed at each one as she said their names.
"Bella," I pointed at her, "and Alice." I pointed at myself. "I think we've met everyone but Emmett here already." I then fell silent noticing all of them were staring at my face. For just a bit I had forgotten what had happened, last night and this morning. I stared down at the lunch table and fell silent.
Their father had come and asked me about whether I was fine, what happened if they knew? I didn't want to be a freak to them. Especially not to Rosalie, she was so nice.
When I looked up again I thought I saw Edward's lips moving really fast, it looked like he was muttering something under his breath. I then looked up at Jasper, and even though he looked extremely uncomfortable, when our eyes locked there was an almost gentle quality to them. He seemed to understand what I was feeling, even though I had said probably no more than three sentences to him before. And none of them had been directed at him directly. I quickly ate my lunch and waited for Bella to finish. Edward seemed to be staring at her intently, almost like there was something that was bothering him.
I really had to get to class early, so as not to have too many questions directed towards me. I asked Bella quietly under my breath if she minded, she just shook her head and told me she would see me in class. I gathered up my things and said I'd see some of the Cullen's/ Hale's in class later.
I walked out of the building to go to science. But I didn't find a clear path like I had expected, no, Jessica Stanley was standing right in my way. I looked down "Excuse me," I muttered as I tried to duck around her.
"Ah, ah, you aren't going anywhere!"
I looked up at her, "What do you want?"
"You to tell me why the Cullen's and Hales sit next to you and Bella, instead of me." She sneered at me when she mentioned Bella and myself.
"I don't know to tell you the truth." I shrugged and pushed past her, almost breaking into a run as I tried to get to science. I wanted so badly to let her know what a bitch she was, but I decided against it.
I sat down in my seat just as people started to file into the class. I was amazed when I saw Bella walk in, she was talking fairly animatedly with Edward, though Edward seemed interested, it was like he was afraid of her. There was so much space in between the two of them. Jasper sat down across from me, and Edward and Bella sat down across from each other. Jasper saw me looking at him and smiled, while rolling his eyes at Edward and Bella. For some reason Edward shot him a glare. He couldn't have seen could he?
When there was a break in Edward and Bella's conversation I asked them whether or not Jessica had confronted them too.
Edward looked at me, "No, but then again I don't think she'd have the nerve to be a bitch around Jasper. She seems to really like him." I have no idea why but I felt the tinniest jab of jealousy at this.
Jasper looked at Edward, "but not until she asked you out, and you said you weren't interested in her."
Of course as soon as he said this, there was a small cough behind me, I turned to see who it was. Of course it had to be Jessica Stanley, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but notice you were sitting with these losers. I was wondering if you would like to come and sit with me?" It was obvious that the question was directed at Edward and Jasper by the way she phrased it.
"I'm sorry, but I don't speak bitch." I said calmly to her. I knew as soon as I had said it, it was a mistake. She glared at me, and I heard stifled laughter behind me.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but I wasn't talking to you, I think someone's a bit jealous of me." She then stomped off. I was surprised by what I had said, but proud at the same time. I turned around to see Edward, Jasper and Bella trying not to laugh.
"That….was… priceless! Her face!" Bella managed to gasp between laughs.
"Ya, I'm in huge trouble after school." I mumbled, but I couldn't help but to smile. The rest of science we spent talking quietly seeing as it was a work period. We would trade answers, and talk. Both Bella and I found out that Edward and Jasper were extremely smart. I was disappointed when the class ended, and then I remembered that I had gym with Rosalie.
Jasper smiled at me as we were walking out of class. "Make sure Rosalie treats you nicely." He told me.
I smiled up at him, "I will." I have no idea why but I already felt very comfortable around Jasper, Edward not so much, but I was taking quite a liking to Jasper.
I walked into gym and sat down beside Rosalie. "Hey,"
"Hey," she said while smiling at me. She was so beautiful, and yet she wasn't conceited. Or at least so conceited that she hated anyone who thought they were prettier than her. Well that was what my first impression was of her.
We listened to the teacher talk, and then the class passed pretty much as the one the day before had, Rosalie scoring goals, and letting me score some as well, though I wasn't as efficient as yesterday, seeing as I was sore from last night. It was still so much more fun than before the Cullen/Hales had arrived.
Unfortunately reality had to hit me once again, and the class ended. I changed in the bathroom stall as always and bid Rosalie farewell. I met Cynthia at the car and got into the passenger's side. Once again, we didn't talk on the way home. We got out of the car and went inside. We both went upstairs to do our homework.
I didn't get any dinner that night, my parents weren't too happy with me as always. So I wasn't surprised when I heard my father stomp upstairs and throw my door back.
A/N: Oh dear, what is going to happen to poor Alice? Sorry, I think that this story is getting a little slow, so let me know if there is anything you think I could improve on :) Next chapter should be up soon! Hopefully tomorrow!
