The Hardest Secret

Chapter 2:

I woke up to my alarm clock going off and I hit it to turn it off and I stood up, feeling zombie-like and walked towards my cupboard and ran into a wall. I opened my eyes and remembered I was at Charlie's now and not at The Gold Coast in Australia with all my friends and family, well just my mom and Phil.

I walked to the Amoir in the corner and got out a pair of jeans and a black a white button-up shirt and my waterproof jacket. I got out my bra and panties and walked to the bathroom and locked the door behind me and then undressed and filled the bath up and then got in and soon I turned into water and then my mermaid form and I just sat in the bathtub waiting for the time to go by and when I was ready to get out I pulled out the plug and rolled over onto my stomach and held onto the sides of the tub and lifted myself out and onto the floor and started drying myself down with my towel. When I was dry and had my legs back I pulled on my clothes, brushed my hair and left it out and then walked downstairs, ate some breakfast and then went back upstairs and brushed my teeth it was time to go. It was raining so I had to get my raincoat.

I got my school bag and walked downstairs and got my car keys and opened my car and got inside and put my bag in the back and drove to school.

The school wasn't that hard to find, it had a massive sign saying Forks High School, that was the only indication that it was a school.

I wasn't used of not having to wear a school uniform. I had to wear a school uniform at my old school where Cleo, Emma and Rikki go to, along with Zane, Lewis and Ash.

I pulled up into a free parking space and noticed that everyone in the school parking lot was staring in awe at my car. The car was tinted so no one would see me.

I quickly grabbed my school bag, which was a light blue and had Wavezone written on it and got my necklace out of the front pocket and put it on.

The girls had a different necklace, there's were more like a pendant and were silver with three waves on the back and had a gemstone on the front and they opened up and there was a picture of all of us together and a picture of the three mermaid's before them and me.

I got out of the car and everyone's jaw dropped, I smiled and put my bag on and shut the car door and locked it and then walked to the Administration building and got everything organised and got my timetable.

It was still early so we didn't have to go to classes right away and everyone would be spread out everywhere. In the cafeteria, in the parking lot or on the oval so I decided to go on the oval.

I noticed Alice, Edward, Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie there and Alice ran towards me.

"Hey Bella," she said politely. "Come sit with me and my family."

"Uhmm okay then," I said. Alice grabbed my hand and I felt the coldness of her hand. It was like touching ice or something but I ignored it and allowed her to drag me over to where her family sat under the tree. I looked up at the rain and quickly ducked my head under the hood of the rain coat. I didn't want to get wet or a single drop on me because then I'd be a mermaid and everyone would see what I am and I would expose me and the girls, well just me because the girls aren't here and I'd be under a microscope while they'll be wondering where I am or what's happened.

"I forgot to tell you, yeah I'm Alice Cullen, I'm Edward's twin sister and Emmett is our older brother. Rosalie and Jasper are twins and they are Hale's," Alice said smiling.

"Cool car," Rosalie said smiling.

"You seen my car?" I asked her.

"Yeah it's amazing. I heard the engine is terrific and it runs really smoothly," she said grinning.

"I know, except even the smallest bump in the road is like a huge one because it doesn't weigh that much," I said smiling at her.

"It would be fantastic to drive!" she gushed.

"I could let you drive it one day, as long as you promise not to crash it," I said to her.

"Of coarse I wouldn't and yeah that would be awesome, thanks," Rosalie said smiling brightly.

I heard Alice's high pitched musical laughter. "Yeah Rose is the mechanic in the family," she said.

"Really?" I said pointing the question at Rosalie.

"Yeah," she said smiling. "I'm good with cars."

I noticed that Alice was sitting next to Jasper and they were holding hands and Rosalie beside Emmett and they were too close to be just more than brother and sister, Edward seemed to be the odd one out. "Are you two together?" I asked Alice and Jasper.

Alice nodded excitedly. "Yeah and Rosalie and Emmett are inseperable, except when it comes to baseball and other games, they get very competitive," Alice said laughing. Jasper and Edward were laughing as well. I chuckled a little.

"Why did you move to Forks?" Rosalie asked.

"My mom and Phil they've gone on holiday to Florida. I was from Australia and I loved it there. We lived at the Gold Coast and we had this very pretty house, not too far from the shopping centres and not far from the beach. It wasn't far from the school either. They were all in walking distance. Phil is a baseball playe, not very good at it though, minor league though, and he went to Florida on a business trip along with a holiday for my mom and my mom usually stays home with me but she misses Phil, so I decided to stay with Charlie for a while. I could've stayed with my friends but I just thought that it'd be easier to go to my dad's and you can't really ask for a refund on a plane ticket," I said to them smiling and they nodded along.

"I love your skin colour it's soo different and pretty," Alice said.

"Yeah I never used to be this tanned but it was the sun that made me go tanner," I said smiling and showing my teeth. I hardly smiled and showed my teeth but it was only on occasions.

"Hey," I heard someone say from behind me. I stood up and turned around to see a girl who had wild, frizzy, curly hair, and her hair was a dirty blonde, and who looked very snotty and not very pretty, but still a little pretty, she was tall and she had a slim figure that was athletic and not very curvy. But I shouldn't talk I had a pretty athletic figure but she had no breasts, whereas I did.

"So your the new girl. Rebecca isn't it?" she asked sarcastically.

"Yeah I am the new girl and my name's Bella," I said rudely. I noticed the bottle of water she had in her hand and I decided to play a trick on her. I made a claw shape with my hand and made sure my hand was by my side so it didn't look very suspicious and used my power of Gelidkinesis to make the water turn into jelly-like substance and made it a little thicker by making the claw even more tighter and almost a fist.

"I'm Lauren, just so you know. Don't mess with me or you'll regret it," she said threatening.

I smiled evilly at her and wishe Rikki was here to heat her water up and Emma was here to unscrew the lid of her water bottle and Rikki could make the water squirt out and Cleo could stop the water from getting on us and it'd go all on them. I could picture it in my mind already and I had only just met her. "Well you don't wanna mess with me either or I'll mess with you right back and I won't be the one regretting it, you will," I said to her and she went bright red from anger.

"Calm down Lauren," a short girl with brown curly hair that was more neater than Lauren's said. The girl had a very curvy figure and was really pretty.

"Oh shut up Jessica!" Lauren said snapping at the girl and she flinched back a bit.

I put my hand in a claw again and I used another one of my powers, Mecokinesis, to explode the jelly out of the bottle and it went all over her and I laughed as she screamed. The other two girls jumped away from the jelly and I stepped back away from it. Lauren was covered in the jelly-like substance.

"You wil regret this!" she screamed at me.

"I didn't do anything though, I was standing here and I guess it just got too hot or something and exploded so you can't blame me for your mistake," I said laughing. Jessica and the other girl was laughing until Jessica turned and glared at them. Lauren stormed off.

I turned back to the Cullen's and they were laughing. Alice looked at me with mischief in her eyes and I grinned at her and she grinned back.

"How did you do that?" she asked.

"You seriously believe I did that?" I asked her.

"Well didn't you?" Rosalie asked.

"No," I lied.

Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie and Edward all looked at each other suspiciously and then looked at me. "Okay then," they all said in unison.

I heard the bell ring and I quickly got out my timetable and seen I had English in B6, and then I had Trigonometry in E 17.

I noticed that the two girls from before were still standing there. "Hi I'm Jessica, and don't worry about Lauren she's all talk no actions," Jessica said smiling.

The other girl was a tall red head that had straight hair and had flawless skin that didn't have any freckles and her skin was clear. "I'm Rhiannon," the girl smiling.

"What class do you have?" Edward asked from behind me.

"English in B6," I said.

"I have that!" Jessica said almost nearly shouting it. "I can walk with you if you want?" she suggested.

"Sure," I said.

"We'll see you at lunch if you don't have any of our classes," Alice said smiling and waving goodbye. Edward smiled at me and waved at me.

"I gotta go Jess, okay?" Rhiannon said.

"Yeah you don't need my permission," Jessica said and waved goodbye.

Jessica and I walked ot English in silence and sat down at an empty table up the back with people staring at us the whole time, well mostly staring at me. We waited in silence for the teacher to come and we didn't do much in that lesson, just poetry and learning more about it along with writing and othere stuff that I had already learnt at my other school in the Gold Coast.

My morning classes went by quickly and I walked to the cafeteria with Jessica and as soon as I walked in there I got bombarded and nearly knocked over by Alice.

I soon realised that for such a small thing Alice was very strong. "How was your morning classes?" Alice asked.

"Boring," I replied. "I alread done that stuff at my old school," I explained when she looked at me questioningly.

Alice laughed. "I guess that's good though," she said smiling. Alice led me over to the far table up the back where her family already was sitting and the only seat left was the one next to Edward so I sat there while Alice sat next to Jasper on the other side of me.

We just talked for awhile and the weather started clearing up and the clouds were still there but it wasn't raining any more so I took my raincoat off and put it in my bag and quickly dried my hands from the water.

"What do you have for the next three periods?" Alice asked.

"Uhmm I'll check," I said and grabbed out my timetable. I unfolded it and seen I had Biology in Science Lab 14, then I had double Sex Ed in Conference Room 1, then lunch. "Errr I have Biolody in Science Lab 4, then I have double Sex Ed in Conference room 1."

"Yeah we all have double Sex Ed after that class, and Edward has Biology too so you can go with him," Rosalie said.

"Errr Okay then," I said and Edward walked to Biology with me.

"The only spare seat is next to me, so you can take that," Edward said.

"Okay then," I said and followed him to his seat and sat down next to him and he faced me and smiled.

"So how do you like the weather here? It's got to be soo much different then Australia," he said.

"Yeah it's a lot different. I don't really like it, I prefer the sun and I hate the rain," I said to him being honest about every bit except the rain. Well the only reason I don't like the rain is because the water make me a mermaid and that's the only reason.

Edward laughed. "I guess that's to be expectedm considering you basically lived your whole life in Australia," he said smiling. He had this weird mischevious look in his eyes. I only just realised that his eyes were more of a ocher brown colour today than gold.

"Yeah it's very different. I should totally kidnap you and drag you there," I said jokingly and he laughed.

"Oh my gosh check out Cullen, he's talking to the new girl. I wonder if they know each other and were friends before she even came here," I heard someone whisper.

"I know they sat together at lunch," I heard someone whisper.

I heard the door open and I turned to the front of the class and watched as the teacher came in with a whole tray of microscopes and what smelt like fish. It almost made me vomit in my mouth. The fish were practically my cousins, not that nobody else knew, or that I would tell them. "Okay one person from each table come out and get a microscope and set it up at your table," the teacher said.

I stood up to get the microscope and Edward put his hand on my shoulder and pushed me back down. I looked up at him and he smiled. "I'll go get it," he said.

"Uhhh... ... ...errr... ...uhmmm... ...okay," I said nervously. Real smoothe Bella, I thought to myself and mentally slapped my hand to my forehead. I heard Edward chuckle as he left to go get it. I seen Lauren up the front getting a microscope and she started flirting with Edward and he just looked at her disgusted and I laughed a little and he looked towards me as if he had heard it and smiled. I closed my hand into a claw again and made the water in the fish tank explode and it went all over her and saturated her while everyone else jumped back. Luckily there wasn't anything in the fish tank, just water and decorations. Lauren screamed and dropped the microscope on her foot and I started laughing so hard that I slipped and nearly fell of my chair but someone caught me and I looked up to see Edward standing there grinning at me and I smiled up at him and he smiled down at me.

"You are one extraodinary girl," he said with a wicked glint to his eyes and I smirked.

"I've heard that before," I said smiling. I quickly got up and rightened myself on the chair and made a mental note to never do that again. "Where's the microscope?" I asked.

"Here," he said placing it on the table in between us.

The teacher looked at me and said. "Oh I thought we had a new student here today," he said smiling. "What's your name?"

"Bella," I said to him.

"Hello Bella I'm Mr Mason," he said smiling. I smiled back. He placed a few different containers in front of us and there was a fish in each one and I looked at it in disgust. I could imagine that as me and I felt vile rise up my throat. If I wasn't careful that could be me one day, or my friends. Mr Mason finished handing out the rest of the containers of fish and then went up to the front to construct the class. "Okay what you have to do today is to decide which fish you think is what and some of them aren't fish, and you got to use the microscope to discover what is on the fish," he said.

"Okay lets get going," I said to Edward and picked up a container and opened it, looking at the fish.

It was quite large and had was a blue-ish and grey colour. "This is a Salmon," I said to Edward and started naming all the fish and he looked at me shocked, when I turned to him to see if he was writing it down. "What?" I asked him smiling.

"How did you know all that?" he asked.

"One of my bestfriends name Cleo, her dad fishes and yeah I just caught on some things," I lied. I lied about the part about catching on to the things, the only reason I know this stuff is because when you swim with dolphins, fish and all that in the sea you get to know all sorts of fish and what they're called.

"Ohhh okay," he said.

I picked up another container and opened it and looked at the peice of scale and grabbed the microscope and put it under and started looking at it. The scale was a white and it was pretty. I went back through my research of the scales. I looked at Edward writing it all down. "This is the scale of an Angel fish," I said and handed got it out from under the microscope and handed it to him. Edward wrote it all down and I set it out to what we wrote down first and in order and he wrote them all out and I smiled at him, there were over twenty different fish I had said and he remembered them all without asking which one was which. He had a good memory and it made me smile. I moved on to this weird looking thing in a container. It had loads of spiky stuff coming off of it and I could tell what it was without looking at it from under the microsope. "This is a bit of coral," I said showing him it and he smiled and shook his head. I grabbed another container and immediately recognised it. "This is a jellyfish," I said putting it on the end. It didn't take us long to finish and I gave him the real names for the coral and jellyfish and whatever else there was.

After that we just started talking until Mr Mason came over. "Don't stop until you've finished it all," he scolded. "We don't have time for breaks, there's still twenty minutes left of this lesson so you can 't be finished yet," he said.

I quickly leaned over Edward and grabbed his book and he looked at me weirdly and I handed it to Mr Mason. "What would you like us to do now that we've finished?" I asked him and he looked at me shocked and looked through them with a hopeful expression. He looked at Edward. "Mr Cullen it was supposed to be group work," he said looking at Edward.

"I just wrote everything down while she said everything and figured them out because Bella wouldn't give me a chance," Edward said smiling and I laughed.

Mr Mason looked at me. "Well done Bella, you'll definately be giving Edward a run for his money," he joked and I laughed. "Well I have an anctivity you both can do now that your finished," he said. "If you don't mind I'd like to keep this set out the way it is."

"Sure," I said.

"Come with me you two," Mr Mason said and led us up to the front. "Okay I will give you some containers with stuff in it and you'll work against each other to figure it out, it'll be a race to see who get's it first."

"Cool," I said grinning.

"Here's the first," Mr Mason said handing us a container. "Go," he said and I quickly opened it and looked at it and picked it up and inspected it.

"Obviously it's a fish and it's a clown fish," I said smiling while Edward just looking at it with a weird facial expression and Mr Mason smiled at me.

"Correct Bella," he said. "Now how did you figure that out?" he asked.

"Okay the colouring, the size because some fish only grow to a certain size and weight, so yea," I said and he smiled at me.

"Well done. Next," he said handing us another container. "Go."

I opened the next up and seen it was a seahorse. "Seahorse," I said and Mr Mason laughed and Edward looked at me weirdly. "Come on Edward that was easy," I said to him while laughing.

Edward glared at me playfully. "Okay next one," Mr Mason said handing us the next container. "Go."

I looked at the container and noticed it was fairly big and heavy. I opened it and picked it up. What I was looking at was obviously a baby shark and it couldn't be a hammerhead because it didn't have the shape of head as the hammerhead. "White shark," I said and put it down in the container.

"Well done Bella you got three out of thee," he said. "You win."

I looked at Edward and shrugged and heard the bell ring. "Okay now leave your stuff there and I'll tell you what you got right and wrong tomorrow, but Bella and Edward have won because they got it all right and still had ten minutes to go," Mr Mason said.

Edward and I walked back to out seats and got our bags and books. We then walked to our next class which was going to be pure torture. Well there's always the idea of wagging in mind. But it's my first day and it wouldn't be responsible and very good.
