Beau had Mike with her to walk to her biology class, the boy tried despretly to start up a meaningful conversation but Beau didn't feel like talking so she gave him blunt, and boring answers. She felt a little bad, seeing as Mike was being so nice to her, but she just didn't have it in her to talk to the boy in depth about arizona or even about her favorite books to read, she just wanted some time alone, but she doubted she would get that at school.

They entered the small rectangular buildings, each one looked so much alike besides to the small number by the door and sometimes how they were decorated inside was different, this one had a fake skelton in the corner of the room next to the teachers desk, dressed in a suit, and samll name tag that said 'GREG' on it in big bold letters. She wondered if the name was given by the teacher or the students. Her eyes flickered from the skellton to Edward who was sitting at a table by himself spinning pen, he looked up metting Beau's gaze. Beau felt herself unsure of what to do so she gave a smile, as she walked closer to the front desk past the fan sitting by it, a bit of her hair blowing from its place.

Edward gripped the table as the overwhelming smell hit him. He closed his eyes and turned his head away in attempt to stop the smell from taking over him anymore then it already did, to his dismay it didn't work. Beau noticed the shift in behavoir and furrowed her eyebrows as the teacher signed her slip.

"and you can take a seat..." glanced around before genturing to the seat next to Edward "right next to over there" he said.

Beau could of swore she saw the boy cringe before intensly staring at nothing out the window. Beau took a deep breath trying to collect herself before walking over and sittint down, placing her backpack on the floor next to her. She tried to hid the fact she was looking over at Edward by hiding behind her hair and taking small glances. The boy couldn't of been further away from her without jumping out the window, he was pressed against the wall part way off his seat stairing intensly at her with his black eyes. Beau felt a small bit of fear spark in her, she wasn't scared of Edward, she was wondering if she smelt bad. She sniffed at her hair, which smelled like her coconut shampoo, then her cloths, which smelt like the prefum she forced her self to put on every morning.

Again she glanced over, she noticed something that she could only describe as hatered toward her in his eyes... did he judge her that quickly? she hadn't done anything to him, she hadn't even said hi and head already juding her? how dare he judge me without even knowing me. At this Beau gribbed her pencil slightly tighter, and tried to focus on the teacher at the front of the class. But she couldn't, not when Edward black eyes were burning holes into the side of her. I'm going to give him a peice of my mind when class is over. She had made up her mind that she was going to ask this boy who didn't know her what his problem was, however when the bell rang he was gone, faster then she could ever even hope to move, she sate there looking after him and unfortunetly Mike was able to get to her before she could pack up.

"Did you stabe Edward Cullen with pencile or what?" Mike asked.

"Sorry?" Beau asked putting her bag back over her shoulder.

"I have never seen him look that pissed before" Beau noticed Mike seemed happy about that.

"Yeah... I don't know what his problem is" Beau huffed.

"That's all the Cullen's, they think their so much better then everyone else" Mike said as they walked out.

"Oh?" Beau asked.

"Yeah their a bunch of anti-social rich kids, that won't talk to anyone in this school besides each other just because their adoptive parents have money" Mike said "Carlisle Cullen's the only socialble one in that family" he added.

"Carlisle?" Beau asked as they started walking toward the main building again.

Mike seemed board of the conversation but Beau couldn't help but be intrested, and hoped that she could get Mike to give up a bit more information.

"He's a doctor here, he's pretty good at what he does, he did my check up for me, he's really nice so I'm surpised any of those kids live with him" Mike said.

"I see" Beau mumbled "...Hey thanks for showing me around Mike, I know I haven't been the most talkitive but honestly I was kinda hoping for people to just ignore me today... but you haven't been so bad" Beau said, realizing she should try and show some gratitude toward the boy.

Mike lite up at that and gave a big smile "No problem, anytime you need me, I'll be there!" he said before glanced at the door of the main building "I should get home, I have a work, but I'll see you tomorrow Bella!" he said before waving and cheerfully running off.

Well if I can make one guys day... Beau walked into the office, freezing when she sees Edward Cullen standing at the front desk having what looked to be a heated conversation with the respetionest.

"There has to be something, anything to replace that hour, I don't want to be in biology anymore, I'll take anything, anything you have" he seemed to demanding and pleaing with the women all at the same time.

"I'm sorry but we don't have anything" said.

Beau noitce Edward tense again, leaning against the counter, for some reason she guessed that his eyes probably closed for a second.

"Just a second dear" said.

"Just... never mind forget it" Edward stormed away from the front desk, away from Beau and a very worried looking .

The respenst shook her head before giving Beau a smile and Beau forced onto her own features before putting down the slip.

"have a good first day hun?" she asked.

Beau couldn't help but glanced after Edward who was long gone "yeah... it was good" she mumbled. She got everything she needed done in the officed before being able to leave the school finally.

Home felt amazing after the day Beau had. She wanted to be alone for a little bit, and lucky for her Charlie wouldn't be home for another couple of hours. She walked upstairs and sat down on the desk chair, logging into the computer, it took forever to bootup, then she sat for another twenty minutes listening to the horrible dial up sound that computer made. Defintly looking at some laptops. Beau grabbed her phone from her bag and turned it back on, several notification of missed calls from her mother made her sigh. She clicked on the notification and called her back. As soon as the phone was picked up Beau started.

"Mom calm down, I just got home"

"You didn't call or text me last night, not even an email I got worried" her mother worried voice came through the phone "anyway how was school?" she asked after a few moments of coming down.

"its was... okay" she said with a small sigh.

"What's wrong are the kids in school being mean?" she asked.

"No mom... everyones been really nice" Beau said shifting her phone to hold it between her shoulder and her ear as she logged into her email.

The first email at the top of the list was James' that he told her to look at, Beau clicked it.

"Then whats the matter?" her mother asked.

"Nothing mom, I'm just still getting use to everything" Beau admitted.

"We can always bring you home"

"No mom, I'm fine really... I like it here" she lied through her teeth, Beau had never been a good lier but she didn't know what else to day.

Beau's eyes flicked to the email that had loaded up.

I think you need to check this out, don't get mad at me.

- James

Beau frowned a bit before clicking the link, she knew it would probably take forever to load but she had her mother on the phone to calm down. She gently started a swaying motion in her chair as she talked, taking the phone back into her hand.

"Are you sure?" Renee asked.

"Charlie likes that I'm here" Beau said "I already made some friend" she steered the conversation another way.

"Really, well tell me about them!" her mother seemed excied.

"Well there was this girl named Angela, she runs the school news paper, she's really down to earth and nice to me" she said "then..." she paused to think "Mike, he's really nice, he showed me around the school" she said.

"Oooh a boy, is he cute?" her mother urged.

"Mom... no, I really don't thin-" Beau eyes went back to the screen reading the title of the artical, the slight swaing motion she had going stopping.

"Bella? What is it? is something wrong?" her mother voice broke her attention away from the screen.

"No... No mom, I have to go... homework and stuff, and I told James I'd call him after school" Beau said.

Beau was quick with the goodbyes before grabbing the mouse and scrolling through the artical, skimming it for the most part.

When she got to the bottom of the atrical she quickly grabbed her phone and went to the messages between her and James.

Whats this all about? I'm not... I can't be... James we have talked about this once before! Why are you bringing it up again now?

You won't even say it will you? Beau its fine, and I'm bringing it up again because I see you, I know you, I've known you for a long time... I want you to be comfortable is all. Can you tell me that without a doubt your comfortable and sure of who you are?

Beau paused reading the text again before leaning back into the chair and thinking for a moment.

No...

Why are you so scared that you might be transgender?

There it was, that word, one that sent panic to Beau's heart, she didn't know why it scared her so much, the point where she couldn't even read the artical completly. She couldn't be... She was scared beyond belife that she might be, and she didn't know how to calm that fear in her. She always stifled all her feelings about it down.

The I... I can't be... I don't want to be damn it! I want to be normal, I have to be, the cheif's daughter can't be transgender, it would kill my mom

But what about you Beau?

Beau felt tears prick her eyes and she cursed at herself before hearing a car pull up outside. Fuck is that time already? she quickly got up and looked out the window to see her father poilece car parked in the drive way next to her truck. Beau quickly closed out of the browser and shut off the computer.

James Charlies home, we'll talk later

Beau started down the stairs when her phone when off once more.

Beau, you know its not the worst thing you can be... I'll love you no matter what and always be there for you, and your father is probably just so happy your with him that he'll accept just about anything... and god your mother loves you to much to lose you over something you can't help... you don't have to decided now... but please look more into it and think about it. Be you Beau, even when the world doesn't understand it.
