"Okay, so why did you bring me here again?"
"Oh… uh I'm not actually sure, did you want to bandage up her ankle or something Sam?" Abi replied
"Nope" He replied, popping the P, shortly followed by the fizzing of the can opening that he had pulled from under the bar.
"So?"
"So I thought that introducing you to this place would be like payback for knocking you out cold" I smiled at him and leaned back into my seat. Abi joined me on the sofa, taking up the whole three seats of space that were left, Sam looked at her sprawled out before shaking his head and moving towards a chair at an angle but before he could sit his phone started ringing. I chuckled at the ringtone; I mean who wouldn't laugh at a rugby player with 'Holding out for a hero' as their ringtone? He quickly pulled it from his pocket and answered. At which point I lost interest and turned back to Abi.
"Looking forwards to school the day after tomorrow?"
"Really? What do you think?" was her reply, I just chuckled.
"So what classes do you have?"
"Oh shit, I have no idea, I haven't been to reception yet, have you been?"
"Nope, do you want to go now then?" She nodded and we both stood up together. She mouthed something to Sam, who was looking thoroughly confused at whatever he was being told on the phone, before she dragged me to a door that we hadn't come through. It opened up to a long corridor, carpeted in plush red velvet with an old patterned cream and greenish grey wall paper and old portraits hanging up on either side of the wall. It was lit the whole way along with modern LED spotlights that surprisingly didn't look out of place. There was probably enough space for two people to walk through side by side comfortably and it visibly sloped downwards before coming back up. As we walked along I noted the absence of any windows, presumably we're taking some kind of underground passage then.
"So what classes did you ask to take?"
"Chemistry, biology, English and history"
"That's a curious choice" Abi butted in before I could ask her what she was taking "What do you want to be then?"
"I don't know, I was thinking maybe law or something in natural chemistry, or maybe and English teacher, I think I'd like that though I'm still not completely sure, what are you supposed to be taking?"
"Chemistry, biology, physics and maths"
"Ewww, why?" Gradually the path sloped upwards again
"Well I'm still deliberating between mechanic, biochemist and lawyer"
"Well those are hardly related"
"I know, do I look like I care? And excuse me little miss hypocrite, law, science and English are even less closely related!"
Now I could come up with a witty response but I think my childish side will win and so I stuck my tongue out and replied with an oh so mature
"Whatever" She simply opened the door and pushed me through. Once we were both out she slid the panel back in to place and did some other stuff that involved ropes and hooks which, when she was finished, meant the door panel was no longer visible and presumably now locked. I turned around and found the door to the office not five paces away, I spin back again to where we just came out from and all I can see now is the door to the music block a little further down.
"Of course, what I've actually always wanted to do is be a fire-fighter but nobody else knows that"
"Why?"
"Why do I want to be a fire-fighter? Because when I was younger there was a fire in the house across the road from us and my mum was sending me over with tea for the people recovering outside that were okay when I saw a section of the wall come flying apart from the building that was collapsing and out ran the fireman with a girl that was probably about eight in his arms and as he handed the girl into the medics arms she coughed, blinking back in to consciousness. It was at that moment, when I saw the man's smile from knowing that he'd saved a life, that I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life." I swear that girl could convince anyone with that story.
"So what's stopping you?"
"My uncle was a fireman, not that he was around much, but he died, my mum wont let me because she doesn't want to lose me too" The emotionless tone with which she replied caught me off guard and I didn't really know how to respond, and so I was somewhat glad that the woman at the desk wasn't busy as we walked through the doorway towards her desk.
"Hi there girls, how can I help?"
"Can you find our timetables for us, I'm Abigail Brown and this is Bella Swan"
"Sure thing" She turned to the computer to her left and with a few small clicks something came out of the printer behind her. She passed them to us and smiled "There you go, if there are any problems just come and see me"
"Thank you" We both called as we left. Before we'd even passed through the door Abi had taken my timetable off me and was comparing them.
"We have Chemistry, biology and lunch together"
"Awesome"
"Oh, and we have to sign up for a Friday afternoon activity, school finishes at ten past two and the school runs all kinds of random activities. Last term Sam and Jasper signed me up for Ballet so I have to get them back this year. Oh, that and Chris is running self defence classes again which will be awesome… and probably hilarious"
"Hilarious?"
"Well last year he flipped Eddie when he tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention and then when he was trying to demonstrate how to break an attackers hold he chose me to demonstrate on and couldn't break my grip, that was fun" By this point I was in hysterics and she soon started laughing too.
"Hang on, by Eddie do you mean Edward Cullen"
"Indeed, the very same!" was the reply before another round of laughter.
Without noticing it we had somehow made our way to her room and stopped for a moment while she opened up the door, surprisingly it wasn't locked. We went inside and the unlocked door was explained as there on the sofa sat Joe and Emmett shouting at a cricket game on the TV. Now I swear Emmett's not supposed to be here but it apparently hasn't stopped him yet.
"Hey guys, where've you been?" Joe said, diverting his attention momentarily from the screen.
"Rugby game, unconscious, picking up timetables, the usual really" I answered.
"Awesome" was his reply before turning pack to the game. A couple of seconds passed before he turned back to me
"Wait, did you say unconscious?"
Okay, so i do feel really bad about not posting in soo long again but... well i'm not really sure what happened, i've been crazy busy trying to get ready for going on tour to italy with one of my orchestras and all the practising involved with that, i had thought i would have more time with rugby season being over and thus only having to coach fitness sessions every two weeks or so but no, my dad (also my boss) decided to give me extra shifts at work so things didn't really work out in favour of my free time. There have been a few other issues but i don't think you'll want to know about those
Oh, and i've had about eight pieces of coursework to do in the last three weeks or so which has taken up insane amounts of my time but these are really all just excuses that you don't really want to read so we'll just go with i'm a bad person and i'm sorry
Omg, has anyone seen the new transformers movie? It is so unbelievably awesome! I have a giant posters of all of the transformers around my bedroom, to go with the pictures of my favourite cars and... twilight posters? yeah, my room is just so stylish, lol
I spose you might be wondering what Bella is doing with all of the people that aren't straight from twilight but i needed some people to play with that it doesn't matter so much if something happens to them (not giving anything away of course) and from now things will probably go back to the plot and i'll stop taking Bella all around the school doing very little, but you know, sometimes she just gets restless.
I won't make any promises this time cos i just feel worse if i can't make them so i'l just try to update as soon as possible, of course, more reviews might help? *hint hint*
Thanks to all you wonderful people who've reviewed, you really do just make me smile so much! :D
Review?
