Dream On
Chapter 3
School
The next morning was very long. I was forced to go to school. I hadn't told Heather or Cole about my meeting with Alice in the forest, and I really didn't plan on it. For this reason alone, Heather wouldn't let me stay home, to her, I had no reason for it other than the reminder or Edward, which only brought her back to last night's conversation.
"Come on, Bella, we're going to be late if we don't leave now!" she shouted from downstairs.
I grabbed one of the three shirts I had laying on my couch and put it on, not even really glancing at it. "Coming!" I shouted as I ran down the stairs.
We ran to the school, if anyone asked we would tell them we lived close enough to walk.
We arrived at school in a matter of minutes. "Cheer up Bella." Cole stopped in front of me, pulling my mouth up into a fake smile.
"Fine!" I sneered. I smiled half-heartedly. I was not looking forward to seeing Edward, and I knew he was going to be here, that is, until he saw me. I wasn't sure he would stay. He would get mad and storm off because Alice knew.
We walked at human speed to the administrations office. I knew the Cullens would probably end up there at some point during the morning, but I needed my schedule. Everything was still in the same place as it had been a century before.
"Hello? May I help you?" a young woman glanced up from the paper work on her desk.
"Yes. We're new students here. We're the Smiths." Heather spoke, knowing I couldn't and Cole wouldn't. We had pre-chosen our surname. Heather thought it best if we went with one of the most common last names.
"Of course. I'm Mrs. Wilson," the woman fanned through her documents, "Wow, there seems to be a whole lot of new kids this year."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Cole took a step forward to ask his question.
"There's another family that just moved to Forks also. A Cullen family? Do you know them? It seems their great-grandparents lived here a long time ago and now they're here as well." She smiled genuinely.
It seemed Heather and Cole were frozen where they were. Heather's mouth was even hanging open. "No, we don't know anyone by the name of Cullen." I blurted out before Heather could get her act together.
"Oh," Mrs. Wilson said a little surprised at my words, "well, here are your schedules and your maps. Also, can you please get every teacher you have to sign this slip?" She handed us three pieces of paper each.
"Sure, no problem." Cole said, grabbing his papers.
I grabbed mine and left quickly, trying to avoid Heather and Cole, who would both definitely have questions for me.
"Bella! Please wait, Bella." Heather shouted from the office. "Bella, we don't blame you, just calm down."
I turned around quickly—quickly for a human, that is—and took a step towards her. "Heather, I'm sorry I've put you through all of this but—"
"But nothing, Bella," she interrupted me, "Bella, it's fine, we get it. He hurt you, and it's not your fault. All I want to know is, did you know they were here?" she mimicked my step.
"Heather…" I started
"Bella, just answer the question," I guess I must have nodded, because her next words surprised me, "Why didn't you tell us, Bella?" she gasped.
"You know why I didn't tell you! I don't always need to tell you everything that happens to me!" I shouted at her. I turned around swiftly and stocked off towards my first class, ignoring all the stares I received.
I glanced at my schedule. There was a nicely laid out chart on the page. In the "1st period" category the word Spanish was written. I made way to building six, where Spanish was located. All I could hope for was that none of the Cullens were in any of my classes.
When I arrived in the Spanish classroom I went straight to the teacher's desk. I had picked up some Spanish while living in Mexico a few years previous. Before I made a mistake, I looked down at the name plate on the desk. "Holà Sra. Lopez. Mi nombre es Bella Smith. Soy un estudiante de nuevo aquí. "
The tall, dark haired woman behind the desk, turned around slowly. She looked me over once. I heard a few snickers and laughs coming from the students. "Bueno, hola Sra. Smith. " she smiled at me. "Normally, we speak English in this class unless I say otherwise." She continued with a very strong accent. If I could have blushed, I would have. School had really changed since the last time I went to school. "Don't worry about it Bella." She signed my paper and found me a seat in the back of the class.(AN: I hope the Spanish is right, I used Google translator so, please, let me know if I got it wrong.)
That class dragged on for what seemed like hours. There still hadn't been any sign of the Cullens. Maybe Edward had heard something from Alice's thought last night, after she'd left me. I secretly hope he'd heard what she thought and forced everyone to leave. I know he wouldn't want to endure the awkwardness.
Second period, Biology, was just as dreadful as Spanish had been. I sat through an hour long period, thinking about when I was going to be surprised by seeing a Cullen. I knew it would either have to happen soon or I would be stuck with hating myself for getting worked up about seeing Edward again.
I took four long hours for lunch to finally role around. At that time a day I chickened out and decided I would skip lunch period. I knew Alice would find me eventually.
I decided I would go to the library and read a book. I pulled out a copy of Wuthering Heights—I always carried one around with me—and sat at one of the long rectangular tables.
As assumed, Alice came skipping into the library before long. "Bella? Please, why won't you come downstairs?" she asked.
I shrugged. "I can't, Alice. I just… I'm not ready. He doesn't love me anymore and I can't stand that type of rejection again."
"I've seen it. It doesn't matter what you do or say, you will come downstairs." She sat down in the chair beside me. "He does love you," she whispered in my left ear, "I've seen that too."
I shrugged her off of me. "If I go with you to the cafeteria, do you promise to let me leave if I need to."
She jumped in her seat. "Yes, Bella! Yes! I promise!" she grabbed my hand and yanked me from my chair.
"Shhhh!" the librarian shushed us.
"Sorry." I mouthed at her.
Alice pulled me towards the cafeteria swiftly. I was not looking forward to this, the rejection, the hate, and, worst of all, the depression. I knew my depression would kick back in as soon as I saw him.
As we walked through the cafeteria doors Alice said in a normal, conversational tone, "Edward, look who's here." I looked towards the table Alice was now looking at.
Edward lifted his head slowly. His expression was one of anger. Obviously, he didn't care who it was with Alice. He gave her a death stare and when his eyes landed on me… He smiled? He smiled a true, warm smile. His eyes went from a dark black to a dark golden colour.
I'm not sure what my expression resembled. Something of horror, probably.
"Bella?" he mouthed.
I glanced at Alice just as she nodded at him. "It's her, Edward. This is why I've been singing." She giggled.
He stood and started walking towards us. That was all I could handle. I knew even this would hurt later, let alone if he touched me. I bolted for the door—at human speed—and ran to the forest surrounding the school. I dropped on to the ground and began dry sobbing.
"Alice, don't follow me. Stay where you are. You promised." I sobbed. I knew she would see.
So, that's all! Ummm school starts back up tomorrow so I probably won't be able to update for awhile. Also, on Saturday the 17th, I'm throwing a Twilight party for my friends and me. So Chapter 4 will probably be up on Sunday. Thanks for all the reviewing and stuff. I want at least 7 reviews before I update.
