"Bella?" I could not believe my eyes. There she was right in front of me and all I could do is stand there and stare. What was wrong with me?
"I am sorry, what did you call me?" Her voice rang through my head like bells. It brought back good memories and at the same time bad ones.
"Bella, Bella Swan?" She stared at me with her new green colored eyes, how beautiful her eyes were.
"No my name is Cody Mannick. Wait are you talking about that girl from Forks who died in the boat ascendant in Florida?" I looked deep into her eyes.
"Yes that was her…." My voice trailed out leaving my sentence hanging in the air. "You heard about her let me guess the news?" She closed her eyes and shook her head.
"No I did not." She looked at me then and said something that I was not prepared for, "I was born in Florida the same day she was brought in, time of dead the same time as when I was born." My body went rigged at that moment, my eyes wide with shock. "I know it sounds weird and all but it is true….maybe I should have not said anything. I am sorry to scare you." Her eyes dropped to the counter beside us.
"No," I cleared my throat, "it is fine it took me by surprise that is all." Someone cleared their throat behind me, Mrs. Rowton.
"Well um anyways, Cody if you could do that, that would be great! You might want to hurry, class is about to start." She pointed to the clock on the wall. She lifted her eyes to met Mrs. Rowtons. She put on a sad smile, that was enough to convince Mrs. Rowton,
"Sure, right. We don't want to be late do we now? Come on…..Edward was it?" She turned and looked at me.
"Yes my name is Edward and of course we don't want to be late, especially on my first day." She really smiled then.
"Okay let's go." She opened the door and walked down the hallway with me in tow. I did not see where we were going or want she was pointing at as we walked down the hallway, I only looked at her beautiful face. When she stopped at her locker I was some what aware of every girl and guy in the hallway because of their thoughts. The girls were all the same,
Damn he is hot. He is a Greek god! Look at his ass! Damn Cody.
The guys were almost the same,
Man I wish I looked like that! Damn he must work out! Damn him, he better not take Cody.
All day it was like that. During class if I got called on I could answer the question but I only looked at her. She hung out with a bunch of guys from football and some girls from older grades. I noticed that a lot of the boys hated me because they thought with me there, they had no chance. Of course I would not let them even if I was not following her around; they had no chance in hell with her. She was smart, not just book smart, but real world. She was athletic and she loved to work on cars. After school she said she would walk me out to my car. All day she had asked question about me, I really never got a chance to ask her. Once we reached the parking lot, she went to her car first.
"You are the one that drives the lotus!" She looked at me in shock and then laughed.
"Yes I am, I am guessing you drove the car next to mine?" She smiled at me.
"You caught me, my family is rich. But what about you? This car is pricey."
"No I am rich too; you're not the only one you know." She opened the door and through in her back pack. 'Anyways I would like to say and talk more but I have to get to football practice, see you tomorrow!" She shut the door and waved walking away from me. Alice, Jasper, Rose, and Emmett walked up behind me.
"Was that Bella, with a tan!" Just then I thought about when I first got here the girl that dove into the water. That is who I saw that day.
"No it was not. Not her body anyways." I thought that deep down; my Bella was still there deep down inside of Cody. I could feel it inside of me. I think when Bella died; Cody was born, with Bella inside her, reincarnated. I climbed into my car with a big smile on my face. My Bella was alive, and this time nothing was going to happen to her this time.
