OMG! I'm so happy that some people are actually reading my story! Thank you so much! I am so happy. Please review, they make me happy. Thanks for reviewing, BellaTonks. I also apologize for any bad grammar :( Bella might be a little OC in this chapter, though.

I don't own Twilight, New Moon or Eclipse. I just own Mary, Chris, and Daniel Hamley.

Previously"Get lost? The school's a frickin square!" I whispered to Mary. She chuckled, and then led me to our first class.

We arrived at Math just seconds before the bell rang. Mary and I walked up to the teacher, Mr. Madley. "Ah, fabulous! New students! Always a pleasure." He boomed. I could already see that this could be a problem. How could anyone be so cheerful at eight in the morning?

I faked a smile at him. Mary cut in. "Hello Mr. Madley! I'm Mary and this is Bella." She kept talking, but I tuned her out. It was something about how his tie seemed to match his shirt. Arg, I felt like screaming. I wanted to sit down. Mr. Madley and Mary seemed to be getting along. It made sense, I guess. They both were very cheery, sometimes to the point of annoyance.

Finally Mr. Madley seemed to realize that he had a class to teach. Mary and I walked to our shared desk in the back of the room. I managed to tune out both Mr. Madley's droning voice and Mary's constant whispering in my ears, which was quite a feat.

After what seemed like forever, the bell rang. I was out the door in less then a second. I had to get out of there! "Whoa, slow down. What's the rush?" Mary had apparently followed me.

"Nothing. It was just the thought of having to sit through those boring classes. For the rest of my life. It just kind of depressed me." Suddenly Mary's head was resting on my shoulders. Mary might be way over-enthusiastic about stuff, but she was good in situations like these.

Somehow, without me even saying anything, she knew what I was talking about. She knew what I really meant. She knew that I meant that there was nothing to look forward to, nothing to get out of bed for. After he left, there was nothing worth living for anymore. She knew even thought I acted like I didn't care; I acted like he had not hurt me, that he had. He had hurt me. Bad. She knew I was trying to fool everyone, including myself. She knew me better then I knew myself. And it was times like these where I was grateful for that, for not needing to explain why I was hurting. Why I was always hurting.

Mary didn't say anything; she just let me wallow in my own pool of sorrow for a little while. Then she told me, "You're wrong, you know. There's always something to live for." I looked up at her. She was right. I had got up in the morning, hadn't I? I had gotten up for her and Chris. And maybe even for myself, just a little bit. There was something to live for.

"Yeah" I agreed.

"Let's get to class." We started walking. Suddenly, I heard Mary draw in a sharp intake of breath.

"What is it?" I asked, looking around wildly. Something was wrong.

Mary's eyes were huge. "We're not the only ones here." Did that mean—

"There are other vampires at this school."

Sorry, little bit of a cliffy. But it's a little obvious who the other vamps are. Well, at least to me it is. Oh well. Anyway, next chapter is a lot more exciting. This was a short, little filler chapter.
