First Thing
|Twilight|
:::
|Angel's POV|
I didn't want to roll out of bed yet. I cherished the solid block of sleep I got the night before but last night I didn't sleep too well. I was a little worried actually. I was the new kid amongst kids who grew up together practically. I was going to be the talk of the school along side Bella for the next little while. Frowning I finally sat up. I felt around for the remote to my twinkle lights and turned them on. I then trudged over to my dresser and flipped on the ihome. I selected my personal playlist and tapped the random icon on my phone screen. The song Panama by Van Halen started to fill the silence.
Dancing around I dressed myself for school. I decided on a white crop top that said "Me? Sarcastic? Never!", a cute high waisted pleated skirt, and a my iconic black high tops.
I paused my music when I heard a knock at my door.
"Come in!" I yelled finishing my mascara and eyeliner.
"Hey honey I'm heading out now. You have fun at school and please for the love of all that is holy, don't get in any sort of trouble," dad kisses my head.
"I won't I won't," I applied my lip balm and smiled sweetly.
Dad then turned around heading down the hall. After I tied my hair up in high pony, I finally headed to the kitchen for breakfast. I decided on a meal bar and an apple.
While eating I scrolled through my texts. Mom hasn't texted me at all. Figures, she probably doesn't even realize I'm gone. I had a ton of texts from Audrey, Katie, Talia and Elliott telling me good luck and that they missed me. I smiled softly before looking at the time. It was seven already. I then heard the sound of a car horn.
Bella.
I snatched my back pack and my keys locking the front door. I then opened the passenger side.
"Long time no see," I swung my body into the truck cab closing the door smoothly.
"I'm glad you agreed to show up with me. It'll make this less awkward," Bella smiled softly.
"No problem. Our dad's are friends so why wouldn't I try to be friends with you?" I reasoned.
I spent the car ride talking to Bella about miscellaneous things while also trying to convince myself that I could confidently walk through the parking-lot and not let the fact that I am the new girl intimidate me at all. It did help knowing Bella was also as new as I was. As soon as we pulled up I felt a bit better. It was about the same size as Katy Taylor back in Texas. Big but not big enough to intimidate. Bella and I looked at each other and walked out together towards the school.
People were staring, but more at her then me. I don't know wether to be relieved or a tiny bit insulted. None the less we both found the registrars office and got our schedules. Bella was a little bummed that we didn't have any classes together but I promised her that I'd sit with her at lunch.
"Good luck Swan," I gathered my bag with my schedule in hand.
"Yeah, I'll probably need it..." she sighed not ready to face the high school population.
We finally parted ways, me going into the building and Bella going to her truck to move it to the student parking. I entered the cafeteria looking for a sign that would direct me to building two. I had English IV with . After I had found where I was going, the rest came fairly easy.
English wasn't bad. For the most part people left me alone. I only had two people in that class that went out of there way to talk to me, both of them being male (go figure there). They weren't as annoying as I thought though. One of them was this really sweet and sensitive guy named Nick. You could tell he was a mama's boy and I could appreciate that. The other was a little more macho but still held the same kindness as nick, his name was Danny. Danny also happened to be apart of the swim team here at Forks High School. I played with the possible idea for joining swim like I had back in Houston but decided against it for obvious reasons. The both of them asked me to be apart of their group for the editorial analysis activity and I accepted seems how they were polite enough to ask me.
When first period had ended we all exchanged Instagrams. I was happy that I made friends so early. It gave me hope that I'd actually be ok.
I spotted Bella and made a bee line for her. Bella was currently staring at her school map so I took my opportunity to scare her.
"How was you're first class?" I asked her in a breathy voice and Bella jumped whisking around towards me.
I let out a short burst of laughter before forcing myself to calm my roll.
"Some should seriously put a bell on you and my first class was alright I guess. Everyone was approaching me and asking me about my life. I don't like being the center of attention though," Bella spoke walking next to me.
"I have to agree with you there. As much as I like talking to new people, the spot light makes me more than a little queasy," I smiled.
"You're Angelique McDouglass and Isabella Swan right?" We both paused turning towards the new voice behind us.
There was a nerdy looking Asian boy with dark hair and brown eyes smiling at us. I guess it wouldn't hurt to humor the poor guy. He probably didn't get much attention from the opposite sex.
"It's Angel and Bella but yes that's us," I spoke confidently.
"Where are your next classes?" He asked enthusiastically.
"I have AP history with in building five but I've got it from here. Bella on the other hand could use a little help seems how I found we squinting at her map earlier," I teased.
"I'm Eric by the way and be happy to help you if you need it," Eric turned his attention to Bella who was staring at me with a "You goddamn traitor" look.
"I gotta scoot if I want to get to class on time but I'll see you at lunch Bella!" I called darting in the direction of my class room.
I would feel bad for abandoning her but honestly, I didn't. Eric was nice, don't get me wrong but that was just too nice even for me.
Now... Where the hell am I?
