Chapter 4

Once I finally arrived at school I parked the car and got out. The weather was still chilly and so I wrapped the thin sweater a little tighter around me. I had arrived to school ten minutes before the bell, that let us enter the school, rang. The good thing about being a well liked student was that I got special privileges. I rung the bell that connected to the office so that the secretary could answer.

"How may I help you?" the secretary asked on the other end.

"It's Bella."

"Oh, Bella you're quite early today. I'll let you right in darling just give a second." After waiting for just a couple of seconds the door unlocked and I walked into the school, and was consumed by the warm air. I was finally capable of feeling my face.

I smiled at the secretary as I passed by the office, and she waved back. I was on my way to my locker, when my head began to hurt again. I had to stop for a second for the sudden pain, and take a deep breath before I continued. As I was walking I started to feel a little dizzy, but I ignored it and continued walking. When I finally arrived at my locker, I tried to unlock my lock, but the numbers where hard to see, and so I just winged it and guessed the numbers I was turning. I finally opened my locker and started fixing my books. All of a sudden my head starting hurting again, but this time so did my stomach. I wanted to scream but I couldn't because right at that moment Catherine walked up to me and the bell rang. Everyone began to pile in the hallway, and it began to get really noisy.

"Hey you okay? You look a little pale?" Catherine asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine… just a little tired is all." I didn't look at Catherine, because I knew she could tell that I was lying.

"I don't buy that for on-" I cut her off before she could continue.

"So what is the surprise you wanted to show me?" I asked her.

"Oh, so I was talking to Steven and Kelly, and guess what?" she asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Umm… I don't Catherine, can't you just tell me. I'm not really in the mood to guess."

"Well Bella if you must know," she began and I just rolled my eyes at her, "we got permission from our parents to go on that school trip during Christmas break to that cabin with our English class."

"Oh, that's cool. I hope you guys' have-"

"Don't even start with that. You're going as well."

"Cathy, come on you know I want to go, but my parents won't let me. Not after the accident."

"Don't you Cathy me, you're going. Bella, the accident happened a long time ago. Your parents can't keep you on a tight leash forever. And besides it's not like you asked your parents if you could go. You're just assuming, and that does not count."

"Fine! I'll ask. But! I don't make any promises."

"EEPP! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You won't regret it. I can promise you that." Cathy hugged me and when she let me go she started jumping and clapping at the same time. She was really short, and so this made her look like a little child, and I had to laugh.

"What?" she asked totally confused.

"You look like a pixie when you do that," I said as I continued to laugh. Cathy stuck out her tongue at me and said whatever before she walked away to her first period class Art. That girl could draw.

When she was half way down the hallway, and I was closing my locker she yelled "By the way, you aren't completely wrong on the pixie thing." Then she winked and walked away. I shook my head and headed for English. That girl said the weirdest things sometimes, but not only her Kelly and Steven always said weird things as well. Lately they have been doing it a lot, but I think it's just because they are all just weird. I loved them anyway.

"Hey girl, what's up?" I turned to find Kelly smiling at me. She was a really pretty girl. The most beautiful in the school. She dates the school's track star, Alex. He is a tall guy with a very well toned body. He would scare anyone, if they didn't really know him, but he's actually really nice.

"Hey Kelly. Did you finish your essay for class?"

"Yup, after I had dinner with Alex I went home and finished it. Wasn't that hard if you ask me." Of course it wasn't. We had to right a paper on our family and heritage. Yeah sure I have my parents, but I was so distracted in knowing my true identity that I couldn't really concentrate on my essay.

"Sure was." I smiled and went to take my seat. Just as I was taking out my books, I heard the voice that made my heart skip a beat, and then made it go on overdrive. I put my books on the table and leaned on my hand as I waited for the class to start. From the corner of my eye, I watched as Edward walked down the aisle of desks and took a seat two seats behind me. Cherl was always out so that left an empty seat between Edward and me. I finally looked down, and couldn't help but feel my heart break a little. We never spoke to each other, but over the course of two years I have developed a crush on him. Kelly spoke to him all the time since Alex was his best friend. Oh and did I forget to mention that Edward is also Kelly's twin brother? And I should probably just put it out there that Cathy is their other sister. They're triplets. Yet I only talk to Kelly and Cathy. Edward and I have never had much to talk to each other about. Even though his sisters were my best friends, he never hung out with us. He had his own group. He was very popular, along with Alex and Steven. People loved those three boys. They are sweet, smart and kind. I talk to Alex because he dates Kelly, and Steven is one of my best friends since Cathy and him started dating like five years ago-he always knows what to say and when to say it- I have a feeling those two will last a life time, and I'm not kidding when I say it either. I have the same feeling for Kelly and Alex. They just make the perfect couples.

Finally the bell rang and class begun. I think that at some point I fell asleep, because next thing I knew I was having that same dream I had of me running. But when the bell rung again to signal the end of class, I woke up still not knowing what or who I was running from.

I got out of my seat and started packing up. My head was throbbing but I ignored it. I got out of class and I saw Alex and Kelly talking while looking in my direction. They looked as if they were talking about me, but I wasn't sure, and I really wasn't in the mood to find out. I turned to go to my next class when I bumped into something hard. When I looked up I found myself looking into bright green eyes.

"I'm sorry I didn't see you. Are you okay? You look a little pale?" Edward asked me.

"No it was my fault I didn't see where I was going, and yeah I'm fine, just a little tired is all. Sorry again." And with that I continued to walk to class, but not before I turned to see Alex and Kelly talking with Cathy and Steven. Both couples staring between Edward and I, and then just like that that all walked into a classroom. But I must have been seeing things because last time I checked there wasn't a classroom I there, there was just a wall.

I'm hallucinating, or this headache is much worse than I thought. People can't walk through walls.

I guess I have to get my eyes checked.

That is the longest chapter I've written so far I think. I know it might be a little confusing, but I promise to try and clear things up as I go along. AP exams are coming up next week and I'm just busy with a lot of things. I promised that I was going to finish this story and I will. Just give me time. Again reviews encourage me to write sooner. Any suggestions? Do Alex, Steven, Kelly, and Catherine remind you of anyone? Again I sadly don't own the Twilight series.
