Hiya, so... I'm really sorry about not writing the next chapter,but I have been MEGA busy and my lap-top's been broken and stuff. But anyway, here it is; Chapter 2, and I promise that I will try and update more regularly, but unfortunately school can kinda get in the way.
Chapter 2.
Meeting the new kids.
(Bella POV)
Beep... beep... beep...
My hand slammed down on the annoying noise of the alarm clock, it was six am and time to get dressed for school... Greeeat. I got up and walked to my wardrobe, what to wear... I picked out some black skinny Jeans and a Paramore band shirt. I walked over to my mirror and frowned at my hair, it was never manageable, never looked perfect, boring colour...stupid hair. I dragged a brush through it deciding I had finally gone insane. I was getting pissed off with my hair. It's not my hairs fault just...eugh Bella SHUT UP. Great now I'm talking to myself.
"Bella come on we gotta go soon!" Emmett shouted banging on my door.
"How long is soon?" I called back
"5 minutes" Eugh five minutes before heading to hell... or as some people call it school. I walked back over to my dresser and started quickly applying on eyeliner; I rushed into the bathroom and quickly brushed my teeth.
"BELLA, NOW!" Emmett shouted from the bottom of the stairs. I ran back to my room and managed somehow to catch the edge of the door-frame and go face first into the floor. "Bella?" Emmett asked.
"EMMETT I'M COMING JUST WAIT!" I screamed, frustrated with myself for falling, hoping I didn't have a bruise on my face. I grabbed my bag, cell and IPod and rushed downstairs.
"Finally, what happened up there?" He asked
"I fell"
"Of course" He chuckled. I grabbed my plain black hoody and put my converse on.
"Ha ha" I said sarcastically "What happened to wanting to go?" I said walking out the door, he followed.
"Seriously Bella, It's a wonder you're not disabled" I unlocked my truck's door, and got in.
"Shut up Emmett I'm seriously not in the mood." I said annoyed at him, I slammed the door, started the engine and left him standing there, next to his car staring at me in confusion. I wasn't usually this snappy but I was extremely nervous. Just wondering what life at school was going to be like.
It didn't take long to find Forks High School it was just of the high way, like everything else in this small town. I entered through the gates and noticed a sign saying 'Front Office' I guessed that was where I had to go, I found a parking space and got out of my truck, using my hoody as a shield against the drizzling rain I half ran to the front office.
It was cosy and warm in the little office, green plants covered pretty much every surface and there were files and papers everywhere. A small woman with red hair and glasses looked at me curiously.
"Can I help dear?" She asked.
"Er... I hope so, I'm Isabella Swan?" It sounded more like a question. The woman's eyes lit up in recognition.
"Ah yes, you have a brother don't you?" She asked.
"Yes, he won't be far behind me"
"Okay, so Isabella..."
"Bella"
"Sorry?"
"Call me Bella"
"Oh okay, Bella, here's your schedule and map" She started highlighting routes to my classes which I was grateful for, Bella and maps don't like each other. "Here's a slip that you'll need to get signed by all your teachers and... that's it, I hope you enjoy your day" She said with a kind smile, I did notice, however, that she gave a wary look at my clothes. Eugh, not this again...
As I left the room, still immersed in my inner-mind ramblings, I walked into Emmett.
"Hey Bells" He grinned
"I'm not talking to you"
"Aw come on Bella"
"Nope, see you at lunch." I said giving him a classic 'Bella glare', and I walked away into the crowds of people. I saw our new neighbours outside and kept my head down, Emmett had obviously met up with them before school. I let my hair fall round my head whilst walking past them, none of them looked at me apart from the green eyed boy from yesterday, I blushed and walked away, grateful he hadn't drawn any attention to me.
I walked through the hallways whilst hearing the whispers and encountering the gazes of my classmates. I managed to make my way to English with . He signed my slip, gave me a booklist and sent me to the back of room to an empty desk. I scanned the booklist and realised gratefully that I had read everything, this would be an easy class. English passed without an incident as did Government. Nobody asked me any questions or talked to me and I asked no questions and talked to no-one.
I was glad when lunch finally rolled around, it meant that I would get to see Emmett and finally talk to someone. I wondered where we would sit, knowing him he had probably made friends already. Emmett wasn't as anti-social as me. I pulled my ipod out of my bag and turned it up so loud that it would hurt any normal persons ears, but I had grown use to heavy bass of the music. I walked into the cafeteria and was met by the curious gazes of the whole school. I blushed, put my head down and let my hair cover my red face. I tried to concentrate on my music as I got my food, but I could still feel the stares boring into my back.
Once I had my food, I turned around to look for Emmett, of course he decided to sit with our new neighbours. Including the gorgeous green eyed boy. Emmett caught my eye and grinned, I glared back. I thought about not sitting with him, just to avoid awkward introductions and conversation. But I really didn't want to sit on my own. Reluctantly I went over to where he was sitting.
His mouth started moving but no sound was coming out. I realised ,with embarrassment, that I still had my IPod on full volume. I pulled the earphones out.
"Sorry" I said.
"Hey Bella" Emmett said with a grin "Sit down" I looked at the faces around me which were all smiling at me (probably out of pity I suspected) all except one. The green eyed boy was looking down at his food with his IPod on, full volume. I envied him.
After dithering for a second I sat down with my tray of food.
"Okay Bella this is Jasper" He said pointing at the lean blonde boy from yesterday.
"Hey" He said with a smile. My returning smile was timid.
"This is Alice"
"Hi Bella!!" She said enthusiastically with a huge grin.
"Er, hi"
"And this is Rosalie" Emmett continued.
"Hi Bella" She said kindly.
I half-smiled "hi."
"And that is my anti-social brother Edward" Alice added. Edward didn't look up, his music was too loud. "Edward!" Alice scolded. I heard Alice give him a swift kick under the table and he jumped.
"Ow!" He said glaring at Alice and taking one earphone out "What was that for"
"Say hello to Bella" She said. He glanced at me.
"Hello Bella" Then he put his earphone back in. I couldn't help but grin, but swiftly hid it. But he didn't look back up just concentrated intently on writing in some book.
Alice sighed impatiently.
"Sorry about him Bella he's rather anti-social"
"You should see Bella once she gets into one of her moods" Laughed Emmett. I glared at him and fiddled around with my food more. I really wanted to just do what Edward was doing but I thought it would be rude to ignore these three people that were trying to include me in their conversation.
"Not hungry Bella?" Asked Jasper. My head shot up, shocked by his kind regard.
"Er, no not really"
"So Bella do you like school so far?" Asked Rosalie.
"It's okay" I shrugged "but I guess schools always gonna be the same...boring" They laughed at that and I smiled timidly. To be honest I didn't think it was that funny, which just drew me to the conclusion that they really did pity me. I noticed that Edward had turned his music down, probably trying not to irritate Alice, I wouldn't want to.
"So Bells what lesson you got next?" Emmett asked.
"I've got...Biology" I said grimacing, science bored me.
"So has Edward!" Said Alice grinning "You two can walk together!" I looked up at Edward and he stared back at me. I looked down and flushed red. The bell rang to signal the end of lunch and I got up awkwardly.
"See you at home Bells!" Called Emmett. I sighed and got out my map, tracing the neon yellow line with my finger.
"You don't need that, I'll show you the way" Said a velvet voice from next to me. I looked up and was met with a pair of green eyes. I could see from here that he had the faintest hints of eyeliner on.
"Er thanks" I said awkwardly. Edward started walking and I followed.
"So you moved here from Phoenix?" He said
"Yeah I did."
"Do you like Forks?" He asked
"Sure, It's ok I guess"
We walked in silence through the school hallways. I kept my head down, not wanting to attract any unnecessary attention. Edward stopped in front of a door and gestured for me to go in. I did so hesitantly, not catching the eye of any of my fellow students and going directly up to the teacher. didn't bother with any formal introductions, he signed my slip, gave me a book and sent me to the only available seat...next to Edward.
God I was gonna seem like such a stalker. I thought as I made my way to my seat. I managed to catch my converse with the edge of the lab table and stumble. A couple of girls near me sniggered and I immediately felt the heat rise to my cheeks.
"Hello" Said a male voice. I looked up and came face-to-face with a baby-faced boy. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, his cheeks were a little chubby as if he hadn't quite lost his baby fat yet, he was in between me and my desk. "My name's Mike Newton, you must be Isabella?" He asked.
"Er, yeah. Hi" I looked over to Edward to see his face but he was staring off into the opposite direction.
"So what lesson do you have next?" He asked. He was way to eager for my liking.
"Erm, It's the end of the day, so no other lesson..."
"Oh yeah. So you like Forks?" Eugh this guy was trying way to hard, but I didn't have the heart to tell him to get lost.
"Sure, It's okay" I replied. When was class going to start, this guy was in the way of my seat and drawing attention from the students around us.
"So would you like to go out with me on Saturday?" He asked with a grin.
"But, you don't even know me!?" I said, confused.
"Well a date would solve that problem" He said winking and raising his eyes suggestively. I narrowed my eyes into a glare.
"I'm busy sorry, and anyway you're not my type" I hissed and pushed passed him to my seat.
He stood there stunned, obviously he doesn't get turned down alot. I didn't understand why he even asked me out. We looked like completely different people, he looked like part of the 'popular' crowd where as I... I really didn't.
"Mr. Newton, back to your seat, class is about to start" Drawled from the front of the room. The class passed fairly quickly. I was aware of the whisperings around me, apparently there were already alot of rumours about me. I don't know where from, no-one knew me here.
The bell rang, and I was up like a shot gathering my books in my arms. I was stopped from my swift exit by a platinum-blonde haired girl. She sneered at me.
"Where you going emo?" She asked.I mentally groaned, I did not need this today."Going to cut yourself?" I just stood there, staring stonily at her.
"Excuse me, can I leave?" I asked.
"Listen, Isabella, there are rumours about you. A lot of rumours. About you cutting and stuff..."
"Well none of it is true. No one here even knows me"
"Hm, yes, but you can always tell with your type. Look at you, you've barely talked to anyone, just some anti-social emo, that no one cares enough about" Traitor tears welled up in my eyes; I looked behind me and saw everyone staring at me. Edwards face stood out from the crowd. He had a look of pity on his face. I did not need his pity; I didn't need anyone's pity. With one final move the girl, who hadn't even stated her name, knocked the books out of my arms.
Debating whether or not I should stay longer to pick up my books, I decided it wasn't worth it. I pushed pass the students and ran out of the classroom. My hair flying behind me.
"Bella!?" I heard Emmett shout from somewhere behind me.
I kept running, aware of the stares around me as I stumbled along, Emmett's shouts fading behind me. No doubt that Edward was now telling his family all about the incident. More pity that I really didn't need.
The tears were still making tracks down my cheeks. I made it to my car and pulled the door open. I quickly scrambled into the cab, slammed the door behind me, and drove out of the parking space.
It was on the way home, when my tears had started to subside, that I realized I needed to go food shopping, since Charlie had agreed to let me cook from now on. I quickly did a U-turn and found the closest supermarket.
My tears had stopped now, and I got a trolley and walked in. I liked food shopping. I found it oddly relaxing and it was a familiarity of home. The shopping only took around half an hour and I packed up and started the drive home.
"Bella!" Emmett seemed relieved as I pulled into the driveway. I put on a fake smile and jumped out.
"Hey Em!" I smiled.
"Where have you been!?" He asked concerned.
"Food shopping?" I said, gesturing to the bags in the back.
"What was wrong earlier?" He questioned grabbing some of the bags. I grabbed the rest and followed him through the door.
"Nothing was wrong; I just didn't want to hang around school"
"Well why didn't you wait for me?"
"Didn't know I was suppose to" I said not meeting his eyes and stuffing groceries into available cupboard space.
"Well I distinctly remember calling after you"
"Sorry, didn't hear."
"Hm, well as long as you're sure that nothing is wrong"
"I'm very sure, now if you don't mid I'm gonna go up to my room" and with that I ran up the stairs and slammed my door shut. I stared blankly at my wall until I got up and put my iPod on. I lay down on my bed and looked up at the stick on stars that I had pasted on when I was about four. I remembered those days, when nothing was wrong and my biggest worry was if I was going to get a Barbie for my birthday or not. I missed the carefree days of running around in my garden and spinning so fast I couldn't walk straight. I smiled faintly.
I was awoken from my reverie by a knock at my window which startled me. I looked up and saw the God that is Edward Cullen, standing on my extension, gesturing to me, to open my window. Wow surreal.
