Author's Note: Okay, here's chapter two, hope you all enjoy. Also, just want to say, if you guys are going to ask questions I, of course, want to answer them. However, I can't do that if the person asking is a guest or anonymous, unless I remember the question long enough to put in as an author's note. Speaking of, to answer someone's question, I have no idea how I keep track of my stories despite having so many, I just do. My brain's kinda weird like that, sorry to say. Now, onto the story.
Chapter 2
Edward had no idea what to do. Not only was one of the most deliciously smelling humans right next to him, but she was now currently sleeping on him as well. No one in the class seemed to notice, and while Edward wanted to notify someone, he didn't want to risk breathing in the girl's scent and losing control.
It was agonizing. While only a few minutes passed until someone noticed his predicament, it felt like an eternity. An eternity where Edward was too afraid to breathe or even twitch.
Only halfway through class, Edward couldn't take it anymore. He had no choice but to ease out from under the girl, but it was only when her head hit the desk that the teacher finally noticed.
"Not again," Mr. Banner huffed. "Kids always falling asleep in class...and it's only her first day!" He walked over, and without further warning, slammed his hand on the desk loud enough that Edward almost winced. Yet the girl didn't even stir. Grumbling even louder to himself, he spoke loudly. "Isabella Swan! Wake up, your nap is over!"
Every kid in the room was laughing now at the sight, as Bella once again didn't twitch, despite Mr. Banner saying her name over and over again, louder and louder with each time. Finally, Mr. Banner had enough, and looked ready to call in the principal. Instead, a light of realization came over him, and Edward watched as the teacher hurried over to the teacher's desk and checked out some papers.
"She has no medical problems..." Mr. Banner mumbled to himself. The relief over not having a possibly dying student was short lived, however, as he quickly turned beat red. "Then why is she falling asleep in my class?!"
It wasn't the teacher's voice, but something nudged at Bella, urging her to wake up. She complained at whatever feeling that was dragging her from her happy dreamland, but the feeling was insistent. Bella really had no choice but to open her eyes, since the feeling was just getting too annoying.
She met a dark golden gaze as she yawned, as she stared curiously into them. There was another thing that looked so familiar to her.
Mr. Banner once again slammed his hand on her desk, startling the surrounding students. Bella, on the other hand, didn't so much as blink. Instead, she looked down at the hand, then followed the arm attached to the hand to find a very beat red face looking at her.
That color is really unattractive on him. It's a shame, as seeing that color on people is funny, Bella mused as she stared sleepily up into her teacher's eyes.
"What. Do you think. You're doing. In. My. Class?" Mr. Banner demanded, slowly and angrily.
"Sleeping," Bella stated bluntly.
Edward let out a strange choking sound that thankfully no one noticed, due to everyone staring at Bella like she had the biggest balls on earth. If Edward's throat hadn't been burning so badly, he might have actually laughed out loud. This strange human girl really was quite interesting.
Mr. Banner turned an interesting shade of purple, one that actually looked better on him than the red did. "Principal's office, now!"
Bella made a weird face, realizing how much of a pain talking to the principal would be. Still, it would be a better situation than having the man in front of her throw a fit, so she grabbed her bag and got up.
Halfway out the door, Bella paused and turned slightly around. "Don't hate the player, hate the game," Bella said, giving the room a peace sign, before walking out the door. It wasn't a hurried walk, either, but a slow, leisurely one that would have made her get caught in the biology teacher's explosion of fury. Thankfully for everyone in the room, it took him too long to realize what was happening, so Bella was already down the hall before he could react.
Should I really go to the principal's office? Bella thought to herself, just imagining the lecture that would unfold. Do I really want to do this to myself? Realizing that not going would only cause even more problems later, Bella let out a long, drawn out sigh and decided to go anyways.
The lecture was long and boring, and Bella almost fell asleep a few times, but she was eventually released. She headed toward her next period a minute before the bell rang, looking at her schedule as she walked.
Gym...me and Gym...me in Gym...would anyone really want me in Gym? I would be saving everyone a lot of trouble if I skipped...avoiding lots of injuries...I'm really doing everyone a lot of good here...maybe even saving the world, or at least the school… Bella thought proudly to herself as she promptly turned around and went in the opposite direction.
"Jasper, hold your breath," Jasper heard his wife whisper from several classrooms over, just in time as a brunette girl walked into the library.
"Sup, stranger?" Bella greeted the blonde boy as she passed by him. She lingered on his golden eyes––which seemed to be a common color here in Forks––and wondered why they also looked familiar. Not just because she saw it on a few other kids today, but because of something else as well. Pausing fully, she plopped in front of him and said, "Were you perhaps a girl at one point? Or do you plan on becoming one?"
Jasper blinked, startled. Then he just stared for a moment, as he had no idea how or if he should respond. But the girl just kept staring, curiosity gleaming in her eyes as she waited for an answer. Finally, Jasper just shook his head, not daring to breathe.
"Shame," Bella mumbled before continuing towards the back of the library, leaving a very bewildered vampire behind.
Alice's bell-like laughter helped him settle down and stop himself from reacting too badly as he finally dared to breathe.
"She's an interesting one," Jasper murmur under his breath.
"You have no idea," he heard Rosalie mutter, followed by Emmett's muffled laughter from the other side of the school.
"And neither do you," Alice all but sang, despite how low her voice was. "I've already called Tanya. Oh, by the way, the Denalis will be coming down. They'll be here by tomorrow night."
What do the Denalis have to do with anything? Jasper's brow furrowed, but he still smiled, wondering what his adorable little wife was playing at.
"Do we really need more vampires around her? She's the Chief's daughter, and her scent, not to mention I can't even read her mind…" Edward trailed off.
"Yeah, it'll be hard, but it'll be worth it too. Oh, and you're not getting out of Biology Edward, so don't try. It'll just make you run into Bella again later," Alice said.
Jasper was about to ask what his wife was playing at, but was instead distracted by Principal Greene coming into the library, looking pretty upset.
"Ah, shit," Jasper heard Bella sigh, just as Principal Greene caught sight of her.
"Really, Isabella? Even after the talk we had earlier, you're still going to cause more trouble? Why aren't you in class? You know what, don't even answer that. I'm escorting you to class right now."
"But...but...I'm saving people's lives!" Bella protested.
"Oh, and how would going to class be doing that? Really, I never would have thought the Chief of Police's daughter would be such a delinquent!" Principal Greene huffed as he all but dragged Bella out of the room.
It was only a few minutes later that he heard a boy's shout of pain from the gym, followed by Bella mumbling, "I told you."
Jasper couldn't help chuckling to himself, especially when Bella was made to sit out only five minutes after she had entered the gymnasium.
Finally, the day ended. It was actually over, despite the long, torturous hours Bella had endured. And, to make things better, the ones injured in gym didn't include her. Yes, she had been the one to injure many in gym, but she herself hadn't been injured, and that's what mattered. After all, if she got hurt badly enough, it might be harder for Bella to sleep.
Bella had almost made it to her truck, thanks to most people avoiding her for one reason or another, when she caught sight of Emmett and Rosalie. She stared at them for a long moment, attempting to telepathically curse them for not being in any of her classes to make things more interesting. Either they had noticed her staring, or someone had alerted them to it, as they both turned to look back at her.
It was then that Bella noticed that around them were three other kids, and she had seen all but one of them before. They also had the same colored eyes, although the shades varied, which meant they were either related or had some kind of trend thing going on.
Before Bella had even realized it, Rosalie was in front of her. Bella must have zoned out longer than she thought. "Are you going to be okay getting home on your own? I mean, don't you have narcolepsy or something?"
Bella blinked, confused as she realized the blonde was worried over her. "Oh...No. I just burn a lot of energy, which makes me tired, and I get bored easily...I can stay focused long enough to drive. Thanks?"
"I'm not so sure about that." The concern on the blonde's face didn't lessen, and she simply turned to Emmett. "Drive her home, will you?"
"Yes ma'am," Emmett said with an excited grin.
"But then how will he get home?" Bella asked, confused.
"I'll run," Emmett answered before Rosalie could. "It's already part of my exercise routine."
Bella pulled a disgusted face at the thought, making Emmett laugh as he led the girl to her car. The human was quick to hand over the keys, and every vampire watched with amazement as she fell asleep in the passenger's seat before she even closed the door. Emmett had to get out, walk around, and do it for her, and then, with one last salute, he drove the girl away.
"She really is a strange, strange human," Rosalie mumbled, shaking her head as she walked back to the silver volvo and got in.
"You're telling me," Jasper agreed, which only set off Alice's own laughter.
"The sleeping thing is incredibly weird. Maybe we should get Carlisle to check her out?" Edward asked, frowning as he realized how much danger a girl like Bella could get into.
Alice's eyes lost focus for a moment. "That'll only work if we bring her to our house; she'll run and hide if she finds herself in a hospital, and even throw quite an amusing fit. So, it's really up to you guys; are you ready to have Bella in our house?"
Everyone looked very uneasy about that, but strangely enough, they all agreed.
"That's great! She'll be over Friday!" Alice said cheerfully, making every other vampire groan. Already, they wondered if they had made a grave mistake.
