Chapter 7.

I stared back into Alice's green orbs as she continued to tap her foot impatiently waiting for an answer.

"There's nothing to spill Alice, he walked me to the office to get my schedule." I said leaving out the holding hands part even though I knew she saw it. She didn't look convinced.

Her petite face twisted into a smirk. "Uh huh. Well, why were you guys holding hands." Dang, I knew she saw it. I racked my brain for an explanation. I decided to go with my old reason.

"Well, uh, he grabbed my hand and I didn't want to snatch it away because I didn't want his feelings to get hurt." I eventually stammered out. I didn't lie. It was technically the truth.

She seemed to believe me this time as her face turned back into a smile.

"Okay Bella, I believe you. But let me see your schedule, I wanna see if we have any classes together." she snatched away my schedule as her eyes quickly scanned it. Her smile widened. "Oo! You have PE with me 2nd period, 4th period literature with me, and you have 7th period lunch with all of us!" she squealed as she handed the information back to me. "You have 1st period with Rose so you should go catch up with her before she leaves. See you in 2nd!" she gave me a quick hug and skipped off toward Jasper. I walked over to where Rose was standing while reading a book.

"Hey Rose." I greeted. She lifted her head up from her book and smiled.

"Hi Bella. Get your schedule?" I nodded.

"Yup, I have 1st period with you so I was hoping I could walk with you." I asked hoping she said yes, I really didn't want to wander these halls alone with all these people staring at me.

"Sure thing Bell. Lets go, class starts in 2 minutes." she replied as she linked her arm with mine and walked toward the class. We reached the classroom just as the bell rung and Rose introduced me to the teacher.

"Hi Ms. Greene, we have a new student." she said as gave my arm a quick squeeze and reported to her seat. The teacher turned toward me.

"Ah, yes. Hello sweetheart, what's your name?" she asked in a sweet voice. She seems nice.

I smiled. "Isabella Swan, but I go by just Bella" She turned toward her computer and entered something into it, I was guessing it was my name.

"Hello Bella. I'm Ms. Greene, welcome to Forks High. You can take a seat." she dismissed but quickly called me back "Oh, wait, do you have a brother that goes here as well?" she asked. Dang, does everybody know Emmett?

I ran a hand through my hair and turned back to face her. "Yes. Emmett Swan." a wide smile spread across her face.

"I thought you looked like him, and I recognized the last name. I had your brother last year, he was a sweetie pie, a jokester, but a sweetie pie nonetheless." we both laughed as she signed my conformation paper. "You can sit next to Rosalie if you want. I know it helps be near someone familiar when you're in a new place." I smiled and retreated back to my seat. Yes, I definitely like her. I walked toward the back of the room where Rose was seated. I took a seat in between her and a petite brunette girl. We exchanged a smile as I pulled out my notebook and began to copy the notes on the board. As I copying my notes I felt a finger tap my shoulder. I turned to the source of the tap which ended up being the brunette girl sitting next to me, who was now smiling a 1000 watt smile.

"Hi. I'm Nicole Clark, but everybody calls me Nikki. You're Isabella right?" she had a very high bell like voice that reminded me of Alice's.

I returned my smile and stuck my hand out to shake. "Yeah, but I just go by Bella. Nice to meet you." she shook my hand and ran a hand through her chest length hair.

"Well Bella, how is your day so far?" she asked as her hazel eyes danced with friendliness. I was beginning to like her, she was nice unlike some of these kids who keep giving me weird looks.

"It's good I guess. I keep getting looks from everybody but that's pretty much it." I said shyly/ Ms. Greene shushed us and told us to continue our notes so we switched from talking to passing notes.

Yeah, the people here aren't used to having new kids. But don't worry about them, they are pretty nice once you get to know them. Well, except Tanya Denali, shes probably the biggest bitch that yah seen thus far.

I laughed silently at that as I replied to the note.

Yeah, my friends told me about her this morning

When she was giving me looks. I'm just

Going to stay out of her way.

I passed the note back to Nikki as I continued to copy the notes on the board. I glanced over to Rose who looked bored as hell with her head resting in her hand while she wrote down the notes. I giggled and finished my notes. I looked around to see everyone still writing, I guess I finished early. With my new found free time I leaned back in the chair and relaxed as I waited for the note to be returned. A minute later I felt something poking my arm I looked over to see it was Nikki trying to give me the note.

Ha, good luck with that. If it isn't her bothering you,

It'll be one of her posse members,

Lauren, Jessica, Lindsay, and Rachel.

Ugh. they aren't as bad as Tanya.

But they are still annoying as hell.

Who are your friends?

Great, she has a posse. This girl is getting more annoying by the minute, and I've never even met her. I scribbled down my response and tossed the note back to Nikki.

Ew, a posse? Yeah, she sounds like your typical bitch.

My friends are Alice Cullen, the girl that's sitting next me Rosalie,

Jasper Hale who's a grade up, Edward Cullen,

And my brother Emmett who's a senior, with

Jasper.

I passed the note back to Nikki and watched as she read it. Her eyes widened as she turned to face me. I felt the confusion on my face.

"Your friends with the Cullens and the Hales? And your brother is Emmett Swan?" she mouthed. I nodded slowly, are they considered the populars or something? I mean I could totally see them as being the "A class" of the school.

Just as Nikki was about to say something the bell rang as everybody jumped out of their seats and ran toward the hallway. Gee, they must really hate this class. I stood up and gathered my stuff as I waited for Nikki and Rose.

Rose groaned as she got up from her desk. "Ugh, I hate this class. All we do is take notes every damn day." she complained as she flipped her golden blond hair. Nikki came to stand in front of me as she looked at Rosalie almost timidly, I couldn't blame her I was intimidated at first too.

"Hey Nikki, this is Rosalie, Rosalie, this is Nikki." I introduced while pointing to each of them as I said their name. Nikki shyly waved while Rose flashed a big smile.

"Hey Nikki. I can believe I haven't talked to you until now, I mean we've practically sat next to each other this whole year." Rose said in a light hearted voice. Nikki looked shocked.

"H-hey Rosalie. I know, I mean I've seen you around but you were always with somebody. Most of the time the Cullen's or Bella's brother." Nicole stuttered. Rosalie let out a tinkling laugh.

"Call me Rose. And yeah, I've known Alice and Edward forever, Emmett's my boyfriend, and you know Jaspers my older brother." Rosalie explained as we walked out of the classroom to report to period 2.

"Oh okay, well I have Spanish, so I'll see you around Bella, bye Rose." Me and Rose waved goodbye and walked toward the locker rooms.

"Damn Rose, Nicole looked so intimidated when she walked up to you. Are you guys considered "the untouchables" or something." I said with a laugh. But I really wouldn't be surprised if they were. They were just too beautiful and people always judge a book by its cover.

"Ha, pretty much. I don't know why though, just because we are hot doesn't mean that we are automatically bitches like Tanya and her clan." she flipped her hair in a mock show off way. She was right, they were all gorgeous. I definitely didn't fit in with them. By the time I had snapped out of my thoughts we were standing in front of the locker room.

"Okay Bells, go up to Coach Clapp and tell him you need a uniform and a locker assignment." Rose instructed. I nodded as she walked over to her locker. I walked up to the rather toned guy who I was guessing was Coach Clapp. He looked up from the clipboard he was looking at and gave me a smile.

"Hello young lady, how can I help you?" he asked in a gruff voice.

"Hi, I'm Isabella Swan. I'm a new student." I replied with a smile.

He looked back down at his roster and added my name to the list. "Hello Ms. Swan, welcome to FHS. Follow me to my office so I can assign you a locker and get you a uniform." I followed behind him to his office. He dug through what looked like a closet and fetched me a size small. I looked at the articles of clothing that was placed in my hands, the shorts could be classified as "booty shorts" and I could tell the shirt would be rather tight. Isn't the point of changing in PE is to wear comfortable loose fitting clothes?

The coach was searching through a drawer trying to find me a lock when he abruptly stopped and looked up at me.

"Wait, did you say your last name is Swan?" he asked. Oh lord, here we go, someone else recognized me as Emmett's sister.

"Yes" His eyes widened. Was Emmett really that big of a deal here?

"Is your brother Emmett Swan?" I nodded. A huge grin spread across his face.

"Oh my goodness! You're the Bella he was telling me about after practice the other day. You know he's one of the star players on the football team right?" The grin still hasn't fell off his face.

"Yes, I saw him and the other guys play last Friday. But I didn't know he was the star player." I responded while shifting from foot to foot. I was really tired of standing here.

"Yeah, him along with Edward and Jasper is the reason why we are going to state." he said while finally handing me a lock and a piece of paper. I nodded as if to say "cool" as I took what his outstretched hand was giving me.

"Well Ms. Swan, have a wonderful first day. Go ahead and change. But you wont have to play today." Yes! I have always hated PE with a passion, I never understood why a 90 minute class full of injuries was necessary. It was my turn to beam.

"Thanks Coach." I said while I walked out of his office and over to my new locker. I looked down at the paper.

Isabella Swan

Locker 54

Combo: 18-22-19

I turned the lock to the correct numbers until it popped open. I quickly stripped of my normal clothes as slipped into my tight as hell uniform. It was even smaller than I imagined, the shorts were in fact booty shorts just like I thought they would be, and the shirt was no better. Well, I'll just have to deal with it. I tied the shoelaces to my blue converse and closed the locker as I went over to Rose's.

She was brushing her hair into a high pony and tying a blue ribbon that matched the uniform around it. She smoothed her hair one more time before applying lipgloss. Gosh, is she really getting pretty for PE? She must've noticed me standing behind her in the mirror because she swiftly turned around.

"Oh hey B, didn't see you there. Oo I see you got your uniform, it looks great on you." she complimented while giving me a thumbs up.

I blushed. This outfit did not look great on me, all it did was squeeze me to death. "Yeah right, but it looks good on you." I swear Rosalie made me sick with all that beauty. Can't she share some with the rest of us?

She sighed. "Bella, you are gorgeous. You need to stop thinking less of yourself." she scolded as she latched onto my arm and pulled toward the door. I tried to keep up with her fast pace but being the uncoordinated girl I am, I ended up stumbling a few times. I finally made it to the gym safely, well, no major injuries have occurred. Maybe a few bruises here and there..

I took a deep breath and tried to successfully walk across the gym without hurting myself or Rose. I looked around to see everyone staring, I could also hear the whispers.

"Who's the girl with Rosalie?" a soft female voice said.

"Oo, who's the sexy brunette chick?" this time it was a deep male voice.

"Why in the hell did everyone stop and stare, shes is just a girl. God, and she's not even that pretty." I heard a nasty nasal voice say. What the hell is her problem?

I shook it off and continued to walk to my destination, which was a waving Alice.

"Hi guys! Oo Miss Bella, you look amazing in your uniform!" she squealed. What is up with people complimenting me in my uniform? I do not look good in it! I blushed…again.

"Thanks. But you don't have to lie." I said as I took my seat on the hard bleachers. I saw Alice cast a look at Rose who just shrugged. She turned toward me.

"Bella, what is up with you and your low self esteem?" she asked quietly for once. I decided not to say anything. "Bella?" she repeated as I remained silent. I didn't want to tell them that my self esteem was shattered by a boy, a boy I used to love. Jacob. When I confronted him about him cheating on me he claimed it was because I didn't deserve a guy like him. I had always known that. I was just a plain brunette girl who wasn't outgoing and bubbly, I was just…me. When he asked me out on a date I couldn't believe it, in fact I thought it was a joke. When we started dating he would repeatedly tell me how beautiful I was and how much he loved me, my mistake was I started to believe it. But when he broke up with me, he said that he just said those things to keep me. I still don't understand why if I was "so plain" why did he want to keep me? I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Damn, I really didn't want to cry here in front of all these people. Alice who had a close eye on me waiting for my answer was first to spot my tears.

"Oh my gosh, Bella! Why are you crying?" she said quietly but with an urgent and worried tone to her voice.

Rose was the next to catch on, she took the seat on the other side of me and wrapped her arm around my shoulder and squeezed.

"Bella, come on lets go to the bathroom" she decided. Alice and Rose each grabbed on to each of my arms and towed me off toward the bathroom while my tears kept falling. On my way out I was met with worried emerald eyes.

Omg!! I'm sooooo sorry I haven't updated in forever! I have been really busy and experiencing some severe writers block, which I still haven't fully recovered from. -_- Anyhoo, I want to say thanks again for all the favorites, reviews, hits, and alerts I have received! THANK YOU!!! I'm sorry about the name situation but some other names submitted will come into play during next chapter. If your name is not included its not because I didn't like your name, its because I chose names randomly. I only chose 2 people for her close friends, and 3 others as classmates. & another reason your name might not appear is because you submitted your name after I had already chosen names. Do you think I can get…10 reviews for this chapter? I know it seems like a lot but It doesn't have to be long, just a good job, or I like it is good. Or even, an "Ew I don't like this chapter" will be fine as well. Lmao. Okay, well thanks for reading and I will see you next chapter! Review!
