That morning had the same routine as the last. Get up, get a shower, brush my teeth, get dressed, eat, and run to my truck. I turned up the heat so I could warm up. It was still raining so my day was awful already.
When I got to school I went straight to my first period class, I did not make any stops. Class started like it always did and Mr. Makon began teaching on something that I wasn't paying attention to. Then she walked in. She was beautiful; with dark brown hair that went a little higher than her waist. Her height was probably about 5'7 and she was slim. She wore a zip up sweat shirt that read Hollister across it and blue jeans. I looked around the room and then noticed that the only empty seat was in front of me.
There were two things that scared me about this girl. One was that her skin was more pale then mine. The second thing was that her eyes were scarlet red. This wasn't good. She walked over to Mr. Makon and showed him her note and got him to sign her card. He did and assigned her the seat in front of me. She gracefully strode to her seat and sat down.
I sat and starred at the back of her head the rest of the class period wondering why this was happening. I finally get rid of all the vampires in my life and then another waltzes right in. Finally the bell rang and as I stood to leave she turned to me.
"Awful weather out, don't you think?" Her voice was smooth as silk.
"Yeah, it is." I tried not to look like my depressed self; she saw right through me.
"Are you okay, you don't look the best. You look rather sad." She looked genuinely puzzled. "I'm sure this weather will clear up soon, nothing to be upset over."
"Oh, yeah." I just starred at her.
"I'm Annalyce by the way." She smiled while extending a hand.
"Isabella, but I go by Bella." I said taking her hand and shaking it.
"Nice to meet you Bella. Oh, and do remember it is only weather, don't let it affect how you live your day. There is, after all, no day like today." She gave me a warm smile and walked away.
"What a good way to think about life." I thought to myself as I quickly walked to my next class. I was a little disappointed to find that Annalyce wasn't in my next class but didn't worry to much over it.
I hadn't seen Mike much today, I guessed that he was to busy flirting with Annalyce to talk to me today. Actually that suited me just fine.
Come lunch I looked around the lunch room and found her sitting alone. I didn't have a clue as to why she would do this. I am sure everyone would be willing to be her friend. As I walked with my tray of food I heard a voice call out to me from a distance.
"Bella!" Her voice was like angels wings. It was glorious. I turned and then walked towards her.
"Hey Bella." Would you like to sit with me today?" She smiled. "I do hope you are feeling better. It actually appears to be clearing up"
That was the phrase Edward used on me the first time he wanted me to sit with him. Once again I fought tears. "Yes, I'm feeling a little better. Thank you." I then sat down in front of the goddess and I felt stares boring into my back. Then I remembered Edward, and what this girl was.
I suddenly turned to glance at where their table was. All four of the Cullens were staring at me and this gorgeous girl. Oh, how I missed them all, but I couldn't go back I wouldn't go back.
"Bella what are you looking at?" Annalyce asked me while looking around me at the four magnificent beings looking at her and me.
"Nothing." I lied spinning around and looking at her. When Annalyce saw what I was looking at she froze. Her eyes studied them for a long time; soon I broke what ever it was that she had been thinking about.
"I need something else to drink." I quickly lied. "This is nasty." She looked at me and nodded her head. I quickly rose and went into the cafeteria.
As I stood by the drink machine Edward came up behind me and hissed into my ear. "What are you doing hanging around her. You know what she is I am sure." Of course I did, but I right now I was mad. I did not want to talk to him, what was it that he didn't get?
"Yes, Edward I do, but it isn't your job to protect me anymore. I can make stupid decisions if I want. Remember you wanted me to live like had never met you, but then when I try to; you won't leave me alone." I think that hit him hard. I felt bad now, but I had to stand my ground.
"Well, I'm sorry for caring for you, Bella. I miss you, Bella, but I am willing to hurt myself for your happiness." His eyes were huge. They were filled with pain and sadness; something no one but me would understand.
"Goodbye Edward!" I yelled as I walked back over to my table. When his family heard this they all looked at me in confusion. All but Rosalie, she didn't trust me before and I am sure she still did not trust me. Rosalie was worried; worried I'm sure that I would tell their secret. Obviously she did not know me; I would never ever do some thing like that to them.
I quickly walked back to the table at which Annalyce was still seated; her expression now matched Rosalie's perfectly.
"Who is that?" Annalyce asked me as I was sitting down. I quickly turned to see where she was pointing. It was the Cullens.
I tried to make it sound like no big deal. "That's Emmett, Alice, and Edward Cullen" . I told her pointing out them each specifically. "They are biologically related. Then there is the Hales, Jasper and Rosalie. Their brother and sister too." I pointed the other two out and turned around.
It then occurred to me that they were probably listening to my conversation with Annalyce. Right then the bell rang and I almost ran to gym.
To my horror I found that Annalyce was in my gym class. "This can not be happening." I thought. I was actually staring to like this girl. I would never be alone with her, but I still liked her.
After gym class I noticed that I had managed to get by with only a couple bruises. That was really good news. The rest of the day flew by and before I knew it I was sitting in my truck about to leave.
"Bella, do you think you could introduce me to your friends?" This beautiful girl was asking a lot of me and it was very hard to not give her the answer she wanted.
"No, we aren't speaking." She looked shocked by my response.
"Oh, alright Bella, I'll see you at school then." She gave me a half smile and walked gracefully away.
Once she was far enough away from me I gave my car some gas and drove off towards my home. When I arrived Charlie was sitting in the living room watching a ball game.
"Bella, is that you?" That was really starting to test my patience.
"Yeah dad, it's me." Was my only response.
I trudged up the stairs to my room. I turned the knob and walked into my room. Someone was waiting for me there, but how had they gotten in when I had locked my window?
