Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot.
that night was uneventful. I slept on the floor, and she slept on the bed. Bella seemed very restless, like she wasn't used to sleeping by herself.
the next morning, she woke me up far too early
"hey sleepyhead! get up or you're gonna miss school!"
"ugh, 5 more minutes"
"nope! up now!"
"fine..." I got up slowly stretching, it was odd, I didn't usually sleep in my shirt, but I didn't want to frighten her.
"how much time do I have?" I asked yawning
"we have to leave in about 20 minutes if we don't want to be late."
"I dont mind being late."
"I figured, but I do so get your butt in gear"
"ok" I got up and went down stairs and got my clothes out of the dryer. then I went back upstairs, and asked
"hey, Bella can you step out of the room so I could change clothes."
"oh, sure thing" she left shutting the door behind her
I pulled the too big shirt off and stretched my wings out
"I'll probably have to tell her about these soon enough" I muttered to myself. then I pulled off my pants and put on my clean ones. I pulled my wings back in, and was about to put my shirt back on when Bella walked into the room
"what the schist do you think you're doing!" I yelled before I really thought about what I was saying.
Bella stared at my face, before she looked at my torso
"Oh my God! what the hell happened to you Nico?!" I guessed she was referring to the multitude of scars covering my torso.
"nothing." I muttered to the ground. then I shrugged my shirt on to stop her ogling. "now do you want something or do you just normally burst in on people while they're getting dressed?" my tone full of acid. while I said this I pulled on my jacket to hide the slits in my shirt.
"Nico, what happened to you? your entire torso..." she looked horrified, and she didn't seem to have heard what I just said.
"that's none of your business. just leave me alone" I walked out of the room, brushing her to the side none too gently. she looked like she wanted to continue arguing, so I said
"we're going to be late if you don't hurry." clearly stating I didn't want to talk about it.
"oh, yeah, I guess so. um, my trucks outside." she looked like she wanted to pursue the topic anyway.
"lets go then"
we got into her truck, and I turned the music on, quite loud, so that talking would be hard. when we arrived at the school, I told her that I could find my own way around. I went to the building that Bella pointed out as the administrative buildiing. behind the desk like thing that split the room in two, was an older woman, about 40 with red hair.
"hello." I said
"oh hello dear, you must be Nico."
"yep, that's me!" I made a weak attempt at a smile
"ok dear, here's your schedule, and have all the teachers sign this slip."
"yes ma'am." she gave me a warm smile. I walked out of the office and deciphered the first line of my schedule. History in building 4, shouldn't be too hard to find.
as I walked into the history classroom, an unnatural hush fell over everyone. I walked up to the teacher and held out the slip
"um, the lady told me to have all the teachers sign this." I muttered under my breath. the teacher signed it and handed it back before telling me to sit down.
needless to say, it was a very boring class, and my ADHD definitely didn't like that. I was practically jumping on my chair when the bell rang. the good news? no homework. the next three classes were basically the same. no one seemed to want to talk to me, probably because I was so jumpy and axiouss that my normal aura of fear and darkness that I usually kept in check was coming out.
anyway, by the time lunch came around, I was practically dying of ADHD.
"oh, hey Bella!" I called out upon seeing a familiar face. she was sitting next to someone who was very pale and very handsome. "oh, is this Edward?" I asked suprised
"yes, Edward meet Nico, Nico, Edward." she gestured accordingly.
"nice to meet you." Edward said very formally
"likewise" I said completely informally. I sat down on Bella's other side.
"so" I said trying to make small talk "um, what's hangin'?"
Edward laughed, and so did Bella.
"did you just seriously ask 'what's hangin?'! OMG Nico, that sounded so weird coming from you!" I looked at the ground ashamed.
"don't be sad Nico, we weren't being mean" Bella said after seeing the look on my face.
"no, It's fine. so, what's up?"
"nothing really" Edward answered
"oh, ok then." I said and started picking at the food that I'd gotten.
"Nico! do you want to come over to Edward's house with me after school?" Bella asked
"um, sure." I said, uncomfortable, there was just something off about Edward and his sister. it just screamed monster.
"great! you can meet the Cullens!" I looked at her, wondering if she had the same weird vibe about the Cullens.
"ok, well see you later. I don't want to be late to class." I said and hurried off to biology. surprise! surprise! I had biology with Bella and Edward
'great. now I have to sit next to Bella and Cullen. just wonderful.' why do I have to sit next to them you ask? because everywhere else is full, and I explained that I knew Bella, so Mr. Brunner gave me an extra chair and put it at the table.
the class was the most interesting that I'd had all day. it was about cellular anatomy. 'wow, to think that the gods made all of this... amazing!' I looked around the classroom, everyone was talking, not paying attention. I grumbled "finally a decent class, and no one cares!" Edward gave me a weird look, as if he heard what I'd just said.
after biology, Bella and I had gym. it was awesome. I loved gym class, being extremely athletic from having to fight a bunch of monsters, and I am very fit cause flying burns a lot of calories.
after gym, school was over, so I got in Bella's car and she drove us to the Cullen's house. it was too far from the city for my comfort. when we got there. I heard the family get into a welcoming position. Bella parked in the garage and we walked around to the front of the house. Edward opened the door as soon as we were in view.
"hello Nico" he said quietly
"hey" I said nonchalant.
"so Nico, this is my family. Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett, and my parents, Carlisle and Esme." he pointed them out in turn. Alice was small with black hair, Rosalie tall and blonde, Jasper tall, blondish, Emmett tall, muscular with brown hair, Carlisle tall blonde with a kind face, Esme normal hight, finally someone is! with caramel hair, and eyes that screamed warmth. all of them were extremely pale, and beautiful. and all of they're eyes were the same color a bronze-ish golden-y color. they were definitely not human, but I didn't think they were monsters, at least not the kind I usually met.
"welcome" said Carlisle
"thanks for inviting me" I replied, taking in the lavish room. "so, you guys have a very nice house..." that was an understatement, they're house was amazing. it had so much open room! I resisted the urge to throw off my jacket, run up the stairs and then fly back down. 'stop it Di Angelo!' I told my self.
"so what the hell are you?!" Rosalie asked.
End of Chapter Two.
