The story Twilight and its characters belongs to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer.
Chapter 3: The Start of My Panic
"Beep!Beep!Beep!" "Mmn..." I moaned awake listening to my alarm. I rolled over to look at the time hoping that it was wrong but it read 6:20 a.m. so it actually was time to up. I hate alarms clocks. It's funny how most people are very dependent on them, yet they hate them with a passion.
I heard a shower going in my parents room and knew that my dad was already up and getting ready for work. So I lugged myself out of my comfortable bed and started laying my clothes out for the school day.I picked out a blue jacket with white luff on the inside, periwinkle jeans, a white long sleeved shirt and light gray Nike shoes, they're so comfortable. After I finished I took a shower. At times like this when i'm still tired and my brain is still foggy from sleep I feel too numb to actually enjoy the shower so I don't really wake up until after I get dressed when timed has passed.
After I got out of the shower I dried off and got dressed. Then I did my hair. I curled my hair into six medium sized curls, the I curled my bang. After I washed and moisturized my face then applied some eye liner to just go around my eyes, so no big lines. Then I put on some yummy white cotton candy lip gloss, turned off my television, grabbed my book bag and I was ready to go. I went down stairs and into the kitchen and grabbed a vanilla breakfast drink and healthy snacks for lunch.
"Dad! I'm ready!" I shouted up stairs but he came out of the living room.
"Okay, lets go. He said.
After we got out the front door I took a look at the neighborhood and saw how grayish it looked. The only real color was the grass and tress the was very green. I took three steps off the porch and slipped and fell on my butt.
My dad who was opening his door turned around when he heard my fall and came over to me.
"Are you okay?" My dad asked grabbing my arm and helping me up.
"Yeah...slippery." I commented about the icy pavement as I patted off the grass from my pants.
"Yeah, it's always like that around here. I'll put salt on the pavement after I get home from work." He said getting into the his side of the car.
When I got into the car I turned up the heat after my dad started the car. Then he drove out of the driveway and we were headed to my new school. Yay...
After driving out of the neighborhood we went through a long road that went was surrounded by thick forest on each side of it, it was kind of dreamy because it looked like it would go on forever. After awhile we got into town and were driving near the school. As we passed the school's sign I thought wow i'm actually going to Forks High school, at least I have something to actually feel good about in a new school. Then my dad pulled into the school's drop off/pick up.
Out the window I saw a lot of kids talking and laughing with each other in groups. I was now time for me to get out. I swallowed my nervousness and got out of the car.
"Try to have a good day, i'll pick you up right here after school alright." My dad said.
"Okay, bye" I said in a small voice and turned to the red break school.
Walking into the school I noticed a lot of people staring at me. Wow this is so embarrassing but kinda in a funny way. It's like on i'm not really that interesting. All of the attention is making frigidity on the inside, but I keep it cool on the outside.
When I located the main office I walked in and went up to the front desk where a lady was busy typing.
"Um, hello." I said softly but loud enough to get her attention.
She looked up from her computer. "Oh, hello." She said then her cheeks stared turning pink. She must easily get embarrassed. I better make this quit to save her from the awkward atmosphere she made.
"Hi, my father enrolled me here last Friday..." I started saying until she interrupted.
"Oh, yes you're Jessica Jones." She said.
"Yes." I answered surprised that she knew my name. She must have a great memory.
She looked down and took a paper from a small black metal storage basket.
"I've got your schedule right here. I am Ms. Cope by the way." She said handing me the paper then said "Just have your teacher sign that and hand it back to me when schools over."
"Mmhm." I said and nodded. Then I just noticed her shirt was a bright orange. I love bright colors. "I like your shirt" I say
"Oh thank you" She said her cheeks turning pink. God forbid I was a guy, she would turn into a volcano.
"Bye." I said then left out of the office and walked into the hallway.
Oh my...It was closer to class time so more people were out in the hallway and now they were staring at me. I looked down at my schedule to avoid eye contact. I didn't notice when someone came up right next to me.
"Hey." I jumped and looked up to find an Asian kid right next to me. "You're Jessica Jones right?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said wondering why was he talking to me? Did I do something wrong.
"I'm Eric Yorkie." Isn't that the same name as the character in..."Also the eyes and ears of this place, and you're front page future material." He continued as we walked. Did he say front page material? He obviously has nothing going on.
"No i'm not any kind of material..." I nervously start to say.
"Take it easy, no future." He says with both his hands out. "But if you need anything else, notes to copy, study partner, or a shoulder to cry on, i'm your guy." He said smiling at me. More people should smile like that. So happy and carefree.
I smile and say "Thank you, i'll keep that in mind."
"I could show you to your next class if you want." He offered. Why was he looking so hopeful?
"That would be a big help actually." I said smiling because I really did need help, once I got lost in a Walmart. Don't ask me how I just did!
"Whose your first period?" He asked. I looked down at my schedule and was pleased that I had AP art.
"I have AP art with Mr. Douglas." I said. He looked a little crestfallen. "You don't have that class." I stated.
"Nope, but I know it is, follow me."He said, and I followed him till we reached our destination.
"Can I see your schedule? " Eric asked me. Then he turned red and quickly said "To see if we any classes together so I can help you around." Dude needs to take a chill pill. I handed my schedule and saw him smile, yup we have classes together."We have Biology together, but I could show you to your next class." He said.
"Sure." I responded. I guess he doesn't have honer and AP classes like me. The only reason I got regular Biology is because they don't have any openings for higher classes.
Art class was just how I thought it would be. A fun art teacher and a non-judgmental environment because it's AP. seems like the kind of teacher you could talk about anything with. He's always joking with his students. We were make movie posters. I went with Snow White and the Huntsman. Time had passed quickly while I was busy drawing the outlines and the bell ringed. So I just put the poster in my new cabby, then I remembered to have sign my schedule.
"Hey can you sign my schedule?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure." He said taking the schedule from me. "How is your first day so far?" He asked.
"I liked it. I really love art." I said with a smile.
"I'm glad to hear that. I will expect things from you of course." He said handing me back my schedule.
"Oh you will." I said back.
I walked out the classroom to see Eric waiting for me in the hallway. I'm a little tired of him now. What do you expect I don't know the guy yet. When he saw me he looked up and smiled.
"Hey Jessica, how was your first class?" He asked.
"It was good the teachers really nice." I responded.
"Yeah, I heard that he was. Now lets get you to your next period, remember that its AP English with . I never had her class but I had next door to her." He said.
"Lead the way." I say. He nodded.
I enjoyed my next class also. I love literature. They were currently reading the invisible man. I was able to get what the book was about just by them talking about it. It's about a man who is only seen for whats the looks like not on the inside.
Eric lead me to my third period as well. It was American History with . It was boring except that poem we read by Harriet Tubman. Eric again was waiting for me after class. He's got determination.
My forth period was Spanish 1. when I got into class my teaches assigned me to a seat next to a talkative girl her name was Jessica also. She was the opposite of my apparently she was a gossip. I know some people like to stay up to date on other people's lives and stuff, hack could even try that, usually I don't know whats even going on with my family most of the time. But this was different. She likes too slander people's names for her own personal amusement. She reminded me of that girl Jessica from the Twilight book. Now that I think about it she looks how Jessica is described in the book. She was short with brown hair. Her friend faced in front of her was nice and quiet girl. The girl who was gossiping turned to me and looked really perked up and introduced herself and her friend.
"Hey i'm Jessica you're Jessica to right?" She asked.
I nodded. Then she introduced her friend.
"And this is Angela." Wait, what. I started to freakout a little bit. Am I dreaming? They have the same names from the girls in Twilight, in they're in Forks High school! Okay! Okay. Calm down Jess. Maybe i'm over reacting. Angela and Jessica are common names. I have an aunt named Angela and names Jessica. That's proof! Yeah i'm over reacting. Being a paranoid hypochondriac isn't easy. I'm still a little freaked out. I took some calming breaths.
"Are you alright?" Angela asked.
"Yeah i'm okay." I said trying to act as normal as possible. I guess she was convinced enough because she dropped it. Something tells me if I don't keep calm she'll ask again and not let slide so easy.
After the bell rung Jessica asked me if I wanted to set with her and her friends at lunch. I was still panicked so I said I would think about it. She didn't look to happy at first but then put a really fake smile on but she thought I didn't notice.
After putting on my hood to avoid Eric and I headed to the art classroom. Usually the teachers rooms are very quiet and comfortable at lunch. I walked into the classroom. And saw at his computer.
"Hey, ." I said catching his attention. He looked up from his computer.
"Oh hi Jessica. What can I do for you?" He asked.
"Well I was wonder if I could spend my lunch here, is that all right?" I asked.
"Oh, i'm sorry Jessica i'm leaving in like two minutes." He said.
"Aw...bummer." I said. "We'll I guess i'll see you tomorrow then ."
"Yeah see you. And have a good day Jessica." He said as he started packing up his stuff. Then I turned to leave.
It wasn't hard finding the lunch room, I passed it a couple of times on my way to my classes. As I walked in some people stopped what they were doing to stare at me. Okay I know i'm new but that's just creepy. I looked in another direction. I saw Jessica and her friends across the cafeteria. She saw my and waved. I went over to her table to say hi.
"Hey Jessica!" The gossiping Jessica said. Then she stood up and wrapped her arm around mine so she could pull me into the seat next to her. It would be crazy if her friends had the same names as the people in Twilight, really crazy...Hee
"So Jessica let me introduce you to my friends. This Lauren," she pointed to girl sitting on the other side of her. The girl looked very annoyed. I breathed in sharply through my nose. I feel faint. she continued" this is Mike." She said pointing to a blond baby face boy. She had said his name in a special way. "And you've already met Angela." She finished. Angela waved. I gave a very curt nod.
"Hey. " Mike said looking at me straight in the eyes. Then Eric came over.
"Hey Mike, so you met my home girl Jessica." He said.
"Oh your home girl?" Mike responded.
"Yeah my home girl." Eric said.
"No, my girl." Some cute black guy said then he kissed my cheek and pulled out Mike's chair from under him then he ran away because Mike was coming after him. Breathing really deeply I turned back to the table and a flash went off right in front if my eyes. It just freaked me out even more and hurt my eyes. I put my hands to my face.
"I'm sorry I have no other material to do the paper." Angela said.
"Futures dead Angela! Don't bring it up again!" Eric said then knelled my me and patted my back saying "I got your back baby." The scene unfolding in front of me that I knew too well caused my eyes to flutter.
"You're like a shiny new toy in kinder garden." Jessica said.
"That's a odd way to put it." I said breathing deeply leaning slightly away from her.
"I guess I could do an editorial or teen drinking." Angela said disappointed.
In the back of my mind remembering this scene I wanted to suggest something for her but I was focusing on pretending to be calm. Two more periods to go and I get to go home and officially freakout have a panic attack and faint. oh god I hope I vomit. Last time I did I felt a lot better.
Through all my thinking I didn't notice when they entered the cafeteria.
