Chapter 4: First Day of School Part 1
I woke up the next morning to the rain pattering on my window. Today was my first day of school, no doubt that I was going to be stared at.
It was slightly awkward being situated in this new house. I got up early not really sleeping, and I headed to the bathroom. I quickly brushed my teeth, washed my face, and ran my brush through my hair then threw it up in to a ponytail.
I had to get a ride with Lauren, so while I waited I read My Father Had a Daughter for the seventh time. (An: That's an amazing book ever get the chance read it)
We arrived at school after Lauren took an hour and a half to do her hair (not much differently than mine). The other girl Jessica, I think her name was, came up to us she looked me up and down and snickered. I looked at her outfit, plaid mini skirt, blue v-neck long sleeved shirt, and black ballet flats.
"People aren't used to out of the norm" I murmured. I decided to wear something a little more outlandish, baby blue and black striped leggings with combat boots, black jean shorts that went down to my knees, a baby blue corset over a black sleeve shirt. At least I matched.
I started to drift away form Lauren and her Mom's beat up old green Sudan. I got to the cafeteria doors and just waited for class to start. I saw Emmett's Jeep and Edward's Volvo pull into the parking lot and everyone got out.
Alice was the first to spot me and I'm sure if she could faint she would Edward laughed really loud probably reading her thoughts. I could practically hear what she was thinking, something along the lines of "OMG, don't scream, clear your head. This girl needs desperate help, shopping is in order."
My mom and dad weren't at school today they were probably hunting or doing other various nefarious things I really rather not think or know about.
Alice stormed up to me. "You. Me. Shopping." She couldn't even form a complete sentence before Jasper pulled her away calming her with his extra talent.
Emmett and Rose laughed, and Rose said "I really hope you like shopping because wearing what you are wearing it is pretty much a plea for shopping."
I groaned and mumbled "I hate shopping."
"Well I'll save right after school, we'll hunt or something that does not involve shopping." Edward whispered in my ear. I don't know if he was purposely trying to make his voice drip with sex, but that's what sent a shiver down my spine.
Edward was staring at me in a weird way I couldn't quite decipherer. I looked into his golden eyes and they smoldered into mine. I didn't realize that we were standing in close proximity, our faces just inches away, until the Emmett cleared his throat.
I broke away blushing scarlet. Rose giggled.
At that moment Alice came back totally happy and calm, Jasper followed behind her with a slight lipstick print on his lips.
Before anybody could say something to Jasper, Alice danced up to me. "Guess what I just saw" I opened my mouth to say something but she cut me off. "You and I are going shopping." She squealed.
I groaned 'stupid, stupid, stupid shopping.' "Plus I'm sure Melanie will love to spend some time with her daughter." She smiled.
"Ya, Alone" I mumbled. Emmett, Edward, and Jasper snorted at my comment and Rose giggled. Alice glared, but her glare was cut short but a vision. Although I never seen her have a vision I was pretty sure because she got a really blank look on her face while she was trying to glare at me.
"Bella, you should go get your schedule right now." She said suddenly
"I'll go with you" Edward said, I didn't object. As we were walking away I saw Lauren and another boy were approaching Alice, Emmett, Rose, and Jasper.
"Who's that boy?" I asked.
"That is Mike Newton; He already has a crush on you after one glimpse." Edward said with a smile.
I looked back again "Oh" I said trying to hide my grimace. Edward just laughed as he opened the door to the office.
"Good Morning Ms. Cope." Edward greeted the Lady behind the desk with a dazzling smile.
"G-g-good m-morning Edward" She stuttered though her greeting. I hid my laugh with a cough.
"Oh, you must be Isabella Swan. Suzy has talk so much about you coming. Welcome to Forks High School."
"Uh, Thanks, um, can I get my schedule please? Oh and please call me Bella." I said feeling really awkward.
"Yes. Yes you can. Just give me one second." she said as printed off some things. She hand me the papers.
"There you go. Now bring this piece of paper back to me at the end of the day with all your teacher's signatures on it." She instructed.
She flipped the papers "and these are your class and-"
Edward cut her off "Thank you Ms. Cope. I will gladly show Bella around the school."
"Oh, all right dear. Thank you." She said. As we where walking out she mumbled something like "He's too young, too young."
Edward smiled a crooked smile that made my heart skip a beat.
"I'll see you at lunch Bella." He said when we were outside. I was about to ask why, but a notice almost no students were in the parking lot and the bell rang.
"Oh, ok bye Edward." I said as I walked to building three for my first class.
My first class was uneventful except for an ever persistent nerd named, Eric.
"Bella if you ever need a tutor I will happily be yours. As you know I have a 4.0 GPA, and this is one of my…" I tuned him out. I kind of did feel sorry for him in a way, not many people liked him, I could tell.
My second period went along fairly fast, I noticed Jessica trying to get really friendly with me. "So Bella, me and Lauren are going shopping later do you want to come with us?" I was startled for someone who didn't really like me and- oh, wait a minute there is me and then there is Edward, Lauren likes Edward. Wonderful things happen when you put 2 and 2 together.
"No thank you, Jess, I already got other plans." I refused as politely as I could; she seemed to not catch the slight sarcasm in my voice.
My next block was gym 'ugh can life get any worse, and for the love of all things holy that just cruel and unusual punishment.' But today we didn't have to change because we were doing our dance unit. One sarcastic word for that: Joy. (An: I know this isn't here schedule in the book but I altered it to fit the story.)
But somehow the class didn't seem that bad, because when I walked in I noticed Edward standing near the corner waiting for the bell to go to signal the start of class.
He must of notice my smell because he looked up smiled and made his way towards me.
"Hi love." He said. He really didn't seem to notice that he just called me love. Hell, I wouldn't have noticed if I was wholly human. He seemed startled for a second finally catching his error.
"Oh, um…uh what I meant to say was, err, ah," He tried to redeem himself. I just laughed.
"It's ok Edward, no big deal." I said, thank God for being half vampire. My heart always kept a normal pace.
He laughed nervously back.
"So what do you do in dance?" I asked him.
"Dance" He replied lamely with a crooked smile. I just glared.
"Um…Waltz, Jive, Polka, and Hip-hop." He said after taking notice to my glare.
"Wait do we need partners?" I asked alarmed, if I was uncoordinated enough to trip over air who knows what I would do to other people.
"I'll be your partner" He added quickly. "Last year was so bad even the instructor, who's a guy, want to dance with me. You should've heard his thoughts." He said with a shudder I just laughed.
The instructor came in the gym.
"Hello everybody, Now grab and we will review the waltz from last year." The man said. He was older - mid 50s - with grey hair and glasses. He had dancing shoes on which I thought were the funniest things in the world. Really how many old men do you see wearing dancing shoes? I couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Edward asked me.
"His shoes" I whispered. He took one glance at the instructor's feet, and started snickering.
"And 5…6…7…8, 1, 2, 3, 4…" The instructor started counting. And to no music we started dancing. It was too easy to dance with Edward; he was pro to the max.
The period continued on the funniest part would have to be dancing the Polka with him.
"Well that was fun!" He laughed afterwards, when we were on our way to the cafeteria for lunch.
"No kidding!" I laughed with him
I walked with him into the cafeteria, and I did not except what was waiting for me there.
