As the sun rose so did I. I needed to prepare myself for my second day at Forks High School. While I was getting ready my thoughts kept drifting towards Edward Cullen. The vampire that had changed me, the vampire that now knew who I was and the vampire that I like.
Wait, like? I don't think I like him in a romantic sense but he is utterly gorgeous and caring, for a vampire. All this thinking was just confusing me so I changed the direct of my thoughts to how I was going to survive school today.
There were a few things that worried me,
Everyone now knew that I looked like the Cullens.
The attention I would get from the male students.
The glares and bitchiness I would get from the females.
That my wound hurt like a bitch and I was still energy drained.
If Edward and his family were alright and how they would react to seeing me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
School started in half an hour so I decided to leave early so I could avoid getting extra attention. I jumped downstairs and entered the kitchen to say goodbye to Charlie.
"Bells, how are you feeling?"
Even if I couldn't read facial expression the worry in Charlie's voice said it all. He didn't want me to go to school today. I realised with a sudden thought that Charlie didn't know about Edward Cullen being out creator. Probably better not to tell him or we'd be moving VERY soon.
"I'm feeling great dad! I'm going to take the bike today so I can get to school early and not draw attention ok?" I hated lying to Charlie but I needed to go to school today.
"Alright Bells BUT remember what I said! If anything happens you come straight to me."
"Yes dad I will. Bye!" I gave Charlie a kiss on the cheek, grabbed my backpack, mounted my bike and set off towards school.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had to admit that I was riding with a little vampire speed and I got to school in about 2 minutes flat, but hey at least there are only a few people around gawking at me like I'm an inhumanely beautiful alien. Well not alien but close, very close.
Before a crowd could gather to stare at me I bolted at human speed for the school oval as it was the closest secluded area.
When I arrived at the oval I spotted a tree with big sturdy branches and climbed up and onto one of them. Since I had around 25 minutes til school started I laid back on the branch and rested. My wound was still paining me but I could deal with the pain, at least it had stopped bleeding. Charlie and I had talked about why my blood was blue but all we could come up with was that since I didn't breathe and my body didn't need oxygen, all the red blood cells had become deoxygenated and turned blue.
I was so lost in my thought that when a twig snapped somewhere nearby I jumped up in surprise. Trying to find the source of my fright I looked around.
"Isabella." I knew that voice, how could I not it was all I could think about the past day. It was Edwards.
Looking down our eyes locked and I breathed a sigh of relief. He was fine and I guessed his family was too as they were standing 10 meters behind him.
Edward must have been confused by my relief as his face read 'Why isn't she screaming and running and shouldn't she be resting because of her wound?'
I chuckled slightly, "Edward I'm sorry about yesterday I over reacted and I realised that I have no need to be afraid of you anymore".
He must have thought I was mad because I hopped down and hugged him and said 'thankyou'. Well obviously not mad because he hugged me back and said in a pained voice, "I'm so very sorry about everything that has happened between us, can we start over?"
I stepped out of his embrace and put out my hand.
"Hi, I am Isabella Elizabeth Swan. Nice to meet you" Edward was smiling and I couldn't help but smile too, what can I say his smile was dazzlingly contagious.
"Hello Isabella, may I call you Bella? My name is Edward Anthony Cullen and this is my family." I nodded at Edward calling me Bella and watched as he gestured his family toward us. I noticed that they all had butterscotch eyes, they were all vegetarians.
"I'm Alice Brandon and this is my husband Jasper Hale!" Alice was small for a vampire and had short, styled black hair. Jasper was tall and had sandy blonde hair. I smiled at both of them and they smiled back.
"Hey! I'm Emmet Cullen and this beautiful thing is my wife Rosalie Hale." Emmet was well built with short brown curly hair and looked like a massive teddy. Rosalie on the other hand was just perfect with long blonde hair but she was glaring at me and I looked away. I knew that someone would be mad about being thrown backward into a wall.
Just then the school bell rang and I said goodbye as I didn't want to be late to class. I wanted to finish high school at least once with good grades.
As I walked to English I smiled, maybe living in Forks wouldn't turn out to be so bad after all.
