Chapter two: School

Today was my first day of school. I wasn't all too excited till I remembered Bella telling me she would help me out. With a boyfriend like hers, I knew she might be popular. What better way to start the new school year than hang with the cool kids.

My mother woke me from a deep sleep around six in the morning. It killed me to wake up. The one thing I hated in the world was waking up earlier than ten.

My body was still in asleep mode and I took a warm shower, trying to use some cold water, to wake up. It worked perfectly, I wanted to go back in the shower coming out. The air was freezing cold!

The outfit I chose to wear for my first day laid out on the floor. I picked up the pink tank top slipping it over my head, my breasts peeping out a bit, black jeans, and pink high heels. My hair was such a mess I just left it down, water trailed from my mid shoulder to my back. Sometimes having hair this long was not a good thing.

A pink choker with a faerie hung around my neck, as pink plastic bracelets wrapped around my wrists. I was all for accessories and everything. A long thin silver chain hung around my neck, a peace sign at the end that dangled under my breasts, I wore it everyday.

I added lots of black eye liner around my eyes, the sharp crystal blue popping out amazingly. My eye color was always my favorite part of my body. The blue was always hard to miss and looked awesome with black eye liner around them.

Kelsey met me in the kitchen, eggs and bacon waiting for me on the counter. I sat down, setting my pink backpack on the chair next to me. My mother kissed my head and watched as I ate.

"You excited for you first day?" She asked, pulling her hair in the usual pony tail.

"Meh, its just school mom," I took a bite of my eggs, adding more pepper.

She laughed. "But a new school! The kids are supposed to be very friendly. That's what the sheriff said last night,"

I tilted my head to the side. She seemed a little intrested in the sheriff.

"He told me when his daughter came to Forks, everyone was excited for her arrival. They'll do the same to you, I know it!"

Kelsey seemed too eager for me to leave. "Right, but I'm going to go early so I don't get lost,"

"Have fun Avril, I love you!"

"Me to,"

I shut the door behind me, rushing to my car. The sooner I was away from my crazy mother the better.


The school wasn't half bad. I parked my car in the parking lot, some kids already arrived. The main building was pretty close.

I started walking towards the building, regretting right away about wearing heels. Some kids stared at me. Probably wondering who the pink chick was.

The receptionist was no where in sight. I set my backpack by my feet and waited patiently for someone to help me.

A woman with reddish hair sat in front of me, filing papers quickly before helping me. I smiled warmly, hoping she didn't think I was a freak.

"Hi, my names Avril Love. Today is my first day," I hoped my name sounded familiar.

Her lips curled into a smile. "Hello Avril, I have your schedule right here," she handed me a piece of paper with classes on it. "Also here's a map. You might want to go the routes I wrote down on their to get to classes quicker,"

I smiled. "Thanks, but I hate maps. I can find my way," I handed the map back.

Her smile turned into a frown. She all of a sudden seemed to hate me. A fake smile replaced the frown. I always hated women like her.

"Come back at the end of the day with this slip signed by all your teachers,"

"Fine," I grumbled. "Goodbye,"

"Good luck!" she wished out of politeness.

As soon as I headed back to my car I noticed people surrounding it. My car didn't look like it was on fire, and it certainly didn't seem wrong earlier. I didn't like all these people looking at my car.

I pushed through the people and opened the drivers door. Everyone watched as I gathered a few things for myself, shoving them in my backpack.

Bella and her boyfriend soon joined the crowd. I let out a sigh of relief, maybe they could explain my situation.

"Glad to see you made it. Nice crowd," Bella said jokingly. She must have had the same experience I did.

"What is everyone staring at? They act like they never seen a Challenger before," I said. People were so fucking weird out here. Who hasn't seen a classic car before? They needed to get out more.

Edward smiled. "Most kids have never seen classic cars like these. This is a very beautiful car though,"

My head jerked towards him. I had no idea he was a car freak like me. We could probably talk about cars if we ever hung out. Bella could learn a few things to. She seemed she didn't know anything. Now that I mention it, I never caught his name.

Kids around us started to disappear. "Sorry I didn't introduce my self last time. My names Edward and I love fast cars,"

It was like he was reading my mind. Again the crooked smile appeared.

"What's your first class?" Bella asked, breaking the quick silence.

"Um I think I have," I paused glancing at the schedule. "Mr. Mason, English."

Bella's face lightened up. "Awesome! You have class with me and Edward!"

I smiled in relief more than happiness. "Great, I could never get through today without you probably,"

I couldn't help but act like she was my best friend. Her personality rubbed off on me and she was such a cute girl. Edward on the other hand was a little sketchy for me still. Honestly, I don't understand how someone could look so godly like him.

Mr. Mason watched as the three of us walked to his desk. He wasn't attractive and my hopes for having a cute teacher died. I glanced around the room and noticed Edward was smiling at me. What the hell was his deal?

Bella grabbed my slip out of my hands and handed it to him to sign. I smiled letting him know I was the new one.

"Welcome to class Avril, you may sit where ever," Mr. Mason said signing the sheet.

"Thanks,"

Before I could look around the room for a chair, Edward pulled one up to his desk. Bella sat beside him and I sat next to her on the extra chair. Many people stared as we chatted before class started.

Lunch came very quickly. I already met a few people. Two girls and one boy. Alice was Edward's sister and she looked like a god as well as Angela was just another pretty face. Mike was the other person I met. He showed interest right away. I could consider him, he wasn't half bad looking.

A large group sat at the lunch table. I could be very observant and it seemed there was an invisible line between the table. It cut right where Edward, Bella, Alice, and Alice's boyfriend sat, and I was in the middle of it. Mike of course sitting next to me.

Bella giggled as Mike couldn't keep his eyes off me. Edward was whispering to Bella, making her laugh even more. Alice and her boyfriend sat completely still, not acting like the others.

"So, who are you?" I asked the man next to Alice

Her head perked in my direction. "That's Jasper,"

"Your boyfriend right?"

"Yes," she smiled again.

Mike noticed I was talking and decided to join the conversation. A few girls from the table turned in my direction to.

"What do you have next?" Mike asked. That seemed to be the most popular question of the day.

"Some stupid science class with Mr. Banner," I replied throwing my schedule on the table for anyone else to look at.

Mike's eyes grew the size of dinner plates as his smile reached both his ears. "Me to!"

I rolled my eyes. His enthusiam scared me. "Great,"

"We have that class to. We'll save you a seat again," Bella said giving no chance for Mike to volunteer for a spot.

"Sweet. That was fun in English," I remembered all the jokes we cracked. Bella was actually a very funny person to be around.

Mike frowned. "You can sit next to me if you like,"

"You have a lab partner," Edward interjected. His dark gold eyes snapped towards his direction.

"Oh yeah," he went back to eating, sulking at the same time.


School was finally over! It wasn't the worst but it wasn't the best. If I didn't know Bella, Edward, Alice, or Jasper, I think I could have killed myself.

During last period I met two girls, Jessica and Lauren. Bella told me a little bit about the people in the school, who to watch out for. Lauren was one of the main ones as Jessica wasn't too bad. I talked little, but that was enough for them to invite me to the beach. Something told me I shouldn't go but I agreed to go.

When I arrived home, my mothers car was no where in sight. I opened the door and found a letter on the counter. Her hand writing scribbled all over it.

Avril,

I've gone out for the day. A few people I ran into at the grocery store gave me a heads up that Forks doesn't have anything exciting. People go to Port Angele's. You should stop there sometime. Well see you later tonight. Order in if I'm not home in time. Hope your first day of school was fun. Love you darling.

I threw the note away. There was no way I was going to spend the rest of my day cooped up in my house.

Bella told me earlier in science that if I was ever bored, call her. I took out my pink Envy phone and dialed her number.

She agreed to hang out. Edward was going hunting tonight and she needed something to do. I decided to pick her up since her car was very old and slow.

It was going to be an intresting afternoon.
