"Have a great day, Bella," my daddy said as he gave me a kiss on the head. I flashed him a fake smile. He just laughed and patted my back, he knew me too well. I scooted myself out of the back of the police cruiser (I swear it haunts me) and landed my feet onto the pavement. The school was tiny (well everything in Forks is tiny).
I turned around and stared back at my dad as he sat in the driver's seat. He smiled at me, "It'll be fine Bells, its kindergarten not prison, and I'll pick you up after school. Love you baby," he told me as I stared at him. I gave him a very unconvincing nod and he sped down the road and off to work.
I looked around outside to see if I had a chance of running into the forest without the teachers catching me. Of course there were about a million teachers waiting out front welcoming the new students to school along with the parents that walked their kids up to the door, unlike Charlie. I hesitated before walking up the short pathway to the doors to the building.
Here goes nothing. I settled at a slow pace staring down at my shoes as I approached the front doors. I must've caught a loose piece of gravel and went flying towards the student in front of me. It sent us both flying down to the ground. I peeked up at the other student lying on the ground. He had a look of disgust on his flawless face. His topaz eyes sparkled as he brushed off the dirt that covered him.
"I'm so sorry," I mumbled as I started to stand up.
"You should…" he stared at me. I felt like I was melting staring into his topaz eyes. Suddenly, his eyes turned dark and had a wave of terror come over him. He looked…hungry. He got up and ran faster than I thought was humanly possible for a kindergartener.
I scanned the crowd of people looking for him, but he was no where to be seen. I let out a sigh. What a perfect way to start the beginning of the school year. Trip into the most perfect boy I have ever seen and have him runoff like I was some kind of monster. I hope no one else saw…. I picked myself up and straightened up. As a walked through the metal doors I tried to forget about him, but he was not the forgettable kind of person.
As soon as I walked in the door a name tag was stuck on my shirt. Isabella Swan. I groaned. I hate the first day of school. There were teachers lining the one long hall, looking at our name tags and then their lists, and instructing the door we were supposed to go into.
The lady looked down at me and then searched her list. While she did this I spent my time looking for the mysterious boy I accidentally ran into this morning. I stood on my tip-toes searching over the bobbing heads of students. No luck. I look back up at the lady that is tilting her glasses up, to get a better look at the sheets of paper in front of her
"Now sweetie,…," she started in the cute little talk that parents talk to there 3 year olds in.
"Bella," I corrected in the most annoyed voice I could conjure up for a 6 year old.
She stared back at me slightly annoyed. I smiled at her with my adorable smile. She shook her head and pointed to the first door. I slowly walked into the tiny room glancing around slowly, the ugly mixture of colors carpet on the floor, the walls filled with posters, the wooden tables placed randomly around the room, and the tiny chairs scattered around the room, there were a couple kids already in chairs talking amongst themselves, at the front of the room was an lady that looked to me like she was in her early 50's, she had light brown hair that had tons of little grey streaks, she had a smile on her face as she sat at her desk waving to the students that entered, our teacher.
I groaned, she must've heard me because she started waving like crazy to me. I groaned again. She stood up from her chair and came walking towards me with that way to perky smile on her face.
"Hi I'm Mrs. Clearwater, your teacher and you must be," she gazed down at my name tag, "Isabella. Hello and welcome to kindergarten." She said like this was supposed to be a happy place.
"Bella, I prefer Bella," I said as I have said a thousand times before.
"O I'm very sorry, Bella," smiling at herself for calling me the right name. Great, the teacher is a little overconfident, "well let's see where you are going to sit…," she started grazing around the tables. I, also, looked at the tables. Great they also have name tags on them, how could this get any worse, "Isabella Swan, you sit right here," she stated pointing towards a chair. I let out another small groan as a stared at the colorful name tag taped to the table.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll have to fix that, but it should do for now. You can just sit here and wait till the rest of the class shows up," she told me.
I gave her a slight nod and sat down, pulling my grubby backpack off and setting it on the floor in front of my feet. I put my hands in my lap twirling my fingers around, glad to be free of teachers and pesky students for once.
It wasn't even a minute later that I feel the presence of someone in front of me; I look up and see a petite girl standing in front of me. She smiles at me and I return it with a forced smile of my own.
"Hi, my name is Jessica, and your going to be my best friend, okay?" she says in an especially perky voice. What is with all these overly excited people?
I stare at her with an are-you-serious look on my face. She obviously isn't that good at reading body language because she is still staring at me with a smile plastered on her face. I shrug. She giggles and runs to the other side of the room to another girl with long straight blond hair. They started laughing repeatedly at something. I glanced back at the tables that were quickly filling with students.
As I waited for school to start (something I never thought I would be doing) a group of four kids walked into the classroom. They were the prettiest people I had ever seen, with their flawless pale skin and their perfect features, they looked like angels. One of them was a skinny blond who looked pissed off more than anything. Next to her was a muscular boy who looked way too big for a 7 year old. On the left was a tiny, pixy-like girl who had spiky black hair, who looked literally like she was bouncing off the walls and next to her was a taller blond boy who was completely calm-looking trying to focus really hard on something in the corner of the room.
I started to look over to the corner to see what the boy was looking at when I saw a beautiful bronze haired boy walk in past them. I was staring at him in shock and excitement, both for the same reason, he was in my class! I'm sure my mouth was hanging wide open because the group of kids started giggling.
I closed my mouth and blushed uncontrollably, but I still couldn't help myself from staring into his eyes. I guess he didn't see me because he just kept his head down, looking like he couldn't wait for this day. Sorry to disappoint you, but this is the 1st day of many that we are going to be trapped in this prison, referred to as kindergarten.
He must have heard the other students laughing, because he quickly picked his head up and stared at them. When they didn't stop he had a look of confusion on his all-too perfect face, he turned around to face me and immediately his whole body went stiff.
Embarrassed, I turned around to face my table. I could hear him yelling in a voice almost too fast for a human, to the students, friends?. Half of them just kept laughing.
Mrs. Clearwater walked up to the students and started the whole introduction just like she did with me. Did she memorize what she was going to say to the students, because it sounds like exactly what she said to me. They also politely nodded and smiled at her.
Once she was done, she pointed out various spots in the room where they were assigned to sit. The short one was assigned to sit right next to me. Great. She practically leaped all the way from the door to the seat right next to me. She gave me a huge smile that reached up to her eyes. I smiled back, not nearly as big though.
"Hi, my name is Alice, and it looks like were roomies!" she said merrily.
A little frightened I replied, "Umm…this is kindergarten. I don't think we live here." After I finished, I thought maybe I would had come off as grouchy. True, I was, but this was the first day of school and I didn't want to be friendless all year.
She only giggled and exclaimed, "I know silly, but look," she said pointing the gap between our two chairs, "we sit right next to each other!" she practically screamed.
By then, many students had arrived and a few more had joined, Alice and me at our table. Two boys, whose name tags said that their names were Mike and James. I think they were having a staring contest but I wasn't sure.
I looked around the room hoping for a quick glance at the mysterious boy. Unfortunately, he was sitting on the other side of the room staring down at his lap, still looking tense. I sighed. There goes my chance of ever talking to him.
Looking to my left where Alice was sitting, I remembered that I hadn't properly introduced myself. As I began to say the whole "Hi I'm Bella" stuff, the teacher started talking.
"Since it's the first day of school and all, I wanted all of you to just relax so, I say we have some fun!" she said excitedly, "first, I have some questions that you can ask all your table members, so you can get to know each other a little better, so you can be on the fast track to making some new friends!" Great, just what I need.
Mrs. Clearwater then began to give us examples of what kind of questions to ask. You know those simple ones like, "What's your favorite color?".
She then started walking around making sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to.
Alice turned towards me, almost starting to ask me a question. Then, a look of confusion flew over her face. She immediately looked down towards the name tag on my shirt. She relaxed and raised her eyebrow. I was scared.
"So Isabella…,"
