The weekend passed by really fast. All that took up my time was unpacking, cleaning, and making dinner for Charlie and me. After every meal, his mood tended to raise a few notches, but I guess that's normal considering that he had been eating out of pizza boxes and take out containers for years.
The alarm went of and I groggily opened my eyes to reveal a dark bedroom. I groaned in protest as I turned off my alarm and looked out my window. The sky was dark and the rain was still pouring. I was so happy that Charlie bought me a truck. It would have been hell to walk to school in the rain.
I grabbed my bag of toiletries and a change of clothes and dragged my feet to the bathroom. I shut the door behind me and I looked at my face in the mirror. I had dark panda circles under my eye. I hadn't been able to sleep all weekend. The rain hitting the roof kept me up. I turned on the tap and made the water as hot as I would stand. The steady stream of watery goodness woke me up as I washed my hair in my Strawberry scented shampoo. I grabbed a bottle of my new body wash. It smelt like freesia and sugar cane. The hot stream turned to cool and I reluctantly got out of the shower. I dried myself off and dressed in a pair of not too snug jeans, a blue t-shirt and a white zipped up hoodie. I quickly towel dried my hair and brushed it straight. It was the first day, but I wasn't trying to impress anyone. I added a little bit of mascara to my top and bottom eyelashes to open my eyes more.
When I was done I looked in the mirror and sighed.
"Why even try." I mumbled to myself. I opened the door and the cool air made me shiver.
"Bye Charlie!" I yelled not knowing where he was. When I reached the kitchen to grab a glass of juice there was a note on the fridge.
Good morning Bella. I left to work already.
There is money by the door, buy your lunch.
I'll be home at 5:30. I'm looking forward to dinner!
Charlie.
I smiled slightly and headed for the door. Sure enough there was ten dollar's waiting for me. I grabbed my coat and key's and ran to my truck. By the time I reached the shelter that was my truck I was drenched. I stuck the key in the ignition and sat there till the cab was filled with warm air, then I made the 5-minute drive.
I pulled into the parking lot in front of the school. It was pretty much packed except for one stall beside a Yellow 2006 Chevy Cobalt SS/SC. I was nothing but shocked that a car as nice as that was found in this little town.
I parked as far away from the Cobalt as possible, afraid to scar its perfect exterior in anyway. After a few moments of gawking at my dream car, the bell sounded so I had to rush to the office.
"Late on the first day, great." I mumbled walking through the doors when I heard a musical laughter come from behind me. I turned around no one was there.
After getting my schedule, locker number, combination, school map, and pink slip for my teachers to sign, I arrived at my locker. Quickly but neatly I arranged the books I didn't need and stuffed away my coat.
It took me a while but I managed to find my first class. I walked through the door and instantly regretted being late because all eye were glued on me. I could feel a blush coming on so I took a deep calming breath to suppress my embarrassment and walked towards the teacher to give her the slip.
"Isabella Swan," read the teacher as a quiet murmur wisped its way amongst the students. "Chief Swan's little girl! Charlie told me you were coming." The teacher beamed as he shook my hand. A giggle spread through the class making me gulp.
The teacher ushered me to a seat in the corner beside a girl whose name I learned was Jessica. She was very nice, but I could tell by her voice that it was semi forced, but I pushed it aside and acted just as friendly.
Physics went by very quickly. And before I knew it I was standing in front of my biology teacher. He signed my slip silently and gave me a desk second from the back and to the left. I sat on the side away from the counters. If I had an accident I would rather not fall head first into the counter or a bunch of beakers.
The seat beside me was empty but not for long. Shortly after sitting, a baby cute boy with blond, perfectly arrayed, spiked hair sat next to me.
"Hi I'm Mike Newton." He said with a smile, shoving his hand in my face. I took it and shook it.
Mike kept up the conversation for about ten minutes asking me questions about Phoenix and my old school, until he noticed some one walk through the door.
"I will see you at lunch Bella." Mike said, his voice suddenly painted with a hint of sadness and jealousy I noticed the chair beside me being shifted and I looked up to see a beautiful boy.
His hair was jet black and it fell messily over his beautiful topaz eyes. They were unlike I had ever seen. Captivating, mesmerizing. His eyes showed that he had some Asian in him, and his skin was unbelievably pale and flawless. His nose was tiny, but not too small. It fit him perfectly. His jawbone was very pronounced and his neck was beautiful. Not too slender, and his Adams apple was noticeable and made him even more appealing. Around his neck was a simple silver chain. He was wearing a tight gray t-shirt, which showed his sculpted chest a little and jeans. Around his wrist was a silver bracelet. It was beautiful in it's simplicity, but contrasted greatly with his perfectness.
He sat down and gazed at me from the side. Just then had I realized that I had been staring at him intently for, god knows how long. The corner of his mouth twitched up slightly to reveal a small grin that took my breath away. I felt red, creep up my neck and make home on my cheeks. As soon as the blush settled, a blank expression fell over his features and his jaw tightened and fist's clenched. His eyes showed anger and fear. It startled me so I whipped my head to my hands in my lap and allowed my hair to create a curtain between me, and the beautiful creature sharing my table.
I snuck a peak at him and his expression was the same. I don't know what I did, but his expression made me want to run. The class dragged on ever so slowly that when the bell rang for lunch, my stiff shoulders relaxed ad the boy shot out of his seat and darted at the door.
"What did you do to piss off Zaden Sharp?" Mike asked stepping behind me, a little too close for my liking.
"Staring at him, didn't you see Mike?" said a blond girl stepping up to mike; my throat tightened. Not only did she see, she also made fun of me for it.
"Lauren!" Mike warned "Never mind Bella its lunch anyways." I nodded meekly as I heard Lauren snickered but followed us to the lunch room.
