SCHOOL TIME!!! YAY!!!!
The bonfire came and went in a blur. My mind was elsewhere as we all ate, laughed, danced, and listened to the elders tell stories. The only thing I remember from the stories is everyone was listening intently. I remember rolling my eyes, thinking there was no way any of this was true. It was all fairy tales to frighten kids.
My alarm rudely woke me up at six in the morning. I glared at the time, telling it to rewind so I could sleep some more. Then I looked at my calendar. Yay, first day of school. Note sarcasm here. I got up and took a quick shower, blow dried my hair, and found a comfy yet stunning outfit. I was wearing tight flair jeans with studs down the sides, and a low cut light blue shirt with cap sleeves. It hugged my stomach, and showed just the right amount of cleavage, so I was okay with it. I knew I wasn't the prettiest, but I did my best to try to impress people. After all, I didn't want to be known as the school freak.
I put on some light makeup, mostly just mascara and eyeliner with just a smudge of lipstick, then pulled my hair into a ponytail high on my head. I smiled at my refection, then grabbed my favorite pair of slip on shoes. My blue ones with little bunnies made of velvet put on randomly. I had made them with my best friend years ago. I smiled at the memory, then ran downstairs and out the door, not even bothering to grab breakfast.
Forks High was just off the highway, and there was already a lot of kids there. Everyone already had their clicks, so I just parked my car in a less populated area and walked up to the front office. A lady was sitting behind a desk, and she looked up when I came in.
"Um, hi. I'm Rose Stewart. I just moved here from Lancaster." I said, the confidence in my voice surprising even me.
"Ok. We have your schedule, and a map. We color coded your classes so you won't get to lost, although if you do, I'm sure any of the students would be happy to give you a hand." She smiled and handed me a bunch of papers. Apparently I was also supposed to have all of my teachers sign one of them and return it to the office. I guess they wanted to make sure I stayed in school. I left the office and found my locker easily. There were a couple guys standing next to it, with one of their lockers open.
I did my combination, opened my locker, and put my backpack in. then I grabbed my notebook I used for writing, and my drawing pad and a few pencils and closed the door. Before I walked away, one of the boys stepped in front of me.
"Hi. I'm James. You must be Rose Stewart." He said, holding out his hand. I rolled my eyes.
"Great. One horse town. Everyone knows the new girl." I mumbled. He smiled.
"Well, we don't often get anyone from the reservation over here. They all go to school over there."
"Yeah. So I've heard. I'm sorry for being rude, but I should probably get going. I have English first, and it seems to be all the way on the other side of the school." I flashed him a smile, then turned and walked away.
I heard him say something to his friends, then heard his footsteps following me. Great. Stalker boy, six o'clock.
"Hey wait up. I have English too."
"And how would you know we have it together?" I slowed my pace until he caught up, then resumed the quicker pace. He matched it.
"There's only one English class over there. All the rest are close to where we just were." I nodded. "So, where are you from?"
"What, they didn't have a special news bulletin all about me?"
"Nope. We just knew we were getting a new kid."
"Well, I'm from California. A small unknown place called Lancaster. Or at least that's where I've been for twelve years. I lived here in Forks until I was four." I explained.
"Wow. But you don't have a tan. I thought all Californians would have tans." He looked me up and down. I noticed his eyes lingered on my shirt. Haha, the whole reason I wore it. Yes, I'm an attention seeker at times.
"Yeah, well I used to stay indoors all the time. I was a gamer for the most part, then I spent a lot of time at the mall."
"Cool, what kind of games did you play?" We reached the classroom and he opened the door for me.
"Normal ones. Mario, Halo, Mega Man, anything involving Legos, and any of the Sims collection." We went up to the teachers desk, where I explained I was new and needed him to sign off on my first class. The teacher, Mr. Larry, smiled at me and gave me a seat near the middle of the class, by the windows. I was thankful, considering James said his seat was on the opposite wall. Class started, and thank god Mr. Larry wasn't the type of teacher to make me introduce myself to the class.
My morning went quickly, only English, History and Science. My three worst subjects. James was only in English with me, but he introduced me to Lawrence and Gail, who were in History and Science. Lawrence was cool, knowing when I didn't feel comfortable and shutting up, but Gail couldn't keep her mouth shut for more than three seconds. I had so wished I remembered to grab my Zune when I left for school this morning.
Lunch was different from my old school. We had two different lunches due to the fact that there were so many students, but here, there was only one lunch. I walked into the cafeteria, intent on grabbing some food, and then hightailing it outta there, but someone had other plans. James and Gail ran up to me the second I entered and dragged me over to their table. James asked what I wanted and then had someone go get it for me. Lawrence shot me an apologetic look, but when he tried to get me out of the twos evil clutches, they ignored him.
Suddenly, the room went almost dead silent. The doors had opened to reveal seven teenagers who looked stunning. They even put my trying to look good to shame. I glanced around and all eyes were on them. I poked one of the girls at the table, Linda was her name.
"Who are they?"
"Their the Cullen's. The doctor for this town and his wife adopted them all. Fostering. The blonde girl is Rosalie. She and the big guy, Emmett, they're together. The small one with the spikey hair, that's Alice. She and Jasper are together. He's the one that looks like he's in pain with the gold hair. Then there's Bella. She and Edward are together. But the last guys new. He's never been here before." She looked as confused as everyone else. I stared along with them, figuring that if I didn't, someone would think I was weird. I saw the one named Edward smile a little.
'Wow he's weird. Maybe I'll call him Edweird from now on.' I thought to myself. Suddenly he let out a small chuckle. Definitely calling him Edweird. My eyes were averted from him to Alice, who was staring at me with a puzzled look on her face. Then she turned to Edweird, and they both left the room, leaving the others with confused expressions. Once they all sat down, the room became the noisy place it was before they entered.
"So, has anyone heard anything about two new students?" James asked suddenly. We all shook our heads. I turned back to look at them all, and the last boy caught my attention.
He had copper colored hair that seemed to shine, pale skin, and was dressed like he was going on a date, not to school. He seemed to realize he was being stared at, because he looked up at me. His eyes were golden, and they seemed too old for his face. I quickly looked down, realized I wasn't going to eat much more, and bid the rest of the table goodbye. No one really noticed I was leaving, they were all intent on coming up with stories for the new guy.
I walked out of the cafeteria and down the hall. I heard whispered words from around one of the corners I needed to take to my next class. I hoped they wouldn't mind me just passing by. I turned the corner, and there was Alice and Edweird, having a heated discussion.
