-Rosie
The first half of my day was a total bust after the parking lot scene. I had Spanish first period which I already spoke pretty fluently and second period I had English with an annoying perky girl named Jessica something or other. She was talking all during class while her 'boyfriend' Mike drooled over me. I chuckled as she tried to invite me to lunch but I declined smoothly.
As I walked with the crowd towards the lunch room I kept my eye out for the raven haired beauty. As soon as I walked into the lunch room I felt eyes on me. I turned to see who was staring and found five pairs of eyes on me. I flipped my hair pretending not to care as I strutted towards the back door. I wasn't really hungry anymore. I had lost a lot of weight since he started hurting me.
I walked outside and sat down on a bench not really minding the nippy November air. I sighed remembering my 18th birthday is next month. I never really liked my birthday, all the attention was too much for me. At least I only had to endure this stupid town for a year, and then I could go to NYU for their music program.
I fell so deep into thought that I didn't notice someone sit down next to me. I looked up and my breath stopped as did my heart. My beautiful raven haired beauty was sitting next to me.
"Hi I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Alice, Alice Cullen." She said in a voice that made my knees knock together.
I felt a bit flustered as I heard her name for the first time. What a beautiful name to match a beautiful girl. I looked at her again and she was looking at me expectantly.
"What?" I asked quietly and she laughed a beautiful laugh that sounded like bells.
"Your name?" she asked still laughing and I blushed.
"Oh yea right sorry, my name is Isabella Swan but I like to be called Bella." I said.
"Well nice to meet you finally." She said and then froze at her words.
"What do you mean finally?"
"I mean uhm… well everybody has been buzzing about you and I wanted to meet you." She explained in a rush.
"Oh yea." I said.
I saw movement over her shoulder right by the edge of the forest and I squinted seeing it was human figure. My blood ran cold as I saw Phil standing there across the school yard grinning sadistically. His eyes were a disconcerting shade of scarlet and he looked paler than he was before. I scrambled off the bench and looked back to where he was sanding to see he was gone.
"Bella are you ok?" I heard Alice ask but all I could focus on was whether I was just crazy or he was really there.
"Sorry Alice I gotta go." I mumbled rushing back into the lunch room and through the doors out to the hallway.
I heard her call after me but I just ran to the nearest bathroom. I found it empty so I shut the door and flipped the lock. I slid down the wall and sat in the corner hugging my knees to my chest. Neither of the explanations for why I saw him were good, either I'm insane or he's back. I shook with quiet sobs and wondered what I did to deserve this. My wrists were all scarred because of him. My body had been filled with drugs because of him. Many times I had tried to take my life because of him and now I just wanted to try again.
I knew there were some cliffs at LaPush with some great rocks on the bottom. Or I knew I had a bottle of Xanax in my purse or that switchblade. All of these options swirled around in my brain until I heard the bell ring. I got up wiping away my tears grateful I put on waterproof make up. As soon as I stepped out of the door I saw Alice standing there looking worried. I gave her a strange look.
"Are you ok Bella?" She asked me.
"Fine, why?" I asked shortly.
"I don't know you just seemed frantic when you left." She said.
"Why do you care?" I asked in a cold voice.
She flinched and looked up at me with hurt eyes "I thought we could be friends." She whispered.
"Fine friends it is but understand there's something's I don't tell friends." I said with a clipped tone.
"Same here." She said letting her eyes fall to the ground.
"See ya later then Tink." I said smirking at the nickname I gave her.
I walked to my next class which was biology and made it right on time. As soon as I sat down at the only empty desk Alice rushed in and took the seat next to mine smiling at me with her perky attitude on high. I pulled out a notebook not really caring about the lecture the teacher was giving. Poetry seemed to be my good point today so I started to write.
A blade cutting up my wrist
A slippery cliff I'll jump from
I won't be missed
Pills that slide down my throat
An overdose of course
And I'll be afloat
Death swirls in my mind
So enticing
So divine.
I looked up from my dark poetry to see Alice staring at my paper. I flipped it over and she looked up at me worriedly but I just gave her an annoyed look. The bell rang a while later and I gathered my things off walking down the hall to the gym. I had packed workout clothes and tennis shoes in my bag just in case so I told the coach I could dress out today.
I walked over to my assigned locker and Alice walked in a while later walking right up to the locker next to mine. I didn't know whether to be happy she was here or annoyed. I sighed and started stripping down to my bra and panties. I looked at Alice to see her in her bra and panties also. She was staring at me intensely and her eyes had turned black.
"Alice are you ok?" I asked her and she nodded looking away from me.
"You sure?" I asked her. I touched her shoulder and immediately pulled my hand back feeling how cold she was. "You're freezing Alice. What's wrong?" I asked looking at her.
"I'm fine Bella." She mumbled.
I then actually realized the lack of clothing she had on and I got distracted by her small yet beautiful body. She had curves and an average chest with good legs. I shook my head and put on my tank top, shorts, and tennis shoes. I walked out of the locker room and started doing laps like everyone else was doing. I was in pretty good shape from exercising three days a week back in Phoenix.
Alice caught up to me easily and ran a little faster than most. I gave her a weird look and she slowed down. I ran faster winking at her and she rolled her eyes easily running ahead of me. I ran trying to catch up to her but damn was that girl fast. The coach blew his whistle and we all stopped. I looked over at Alice and she winked at me. For the rest of class we played volleyball and my team one when Alice hit the ball and I spiked it getting us the winning point.
Me and Alice walked into the locker room together high fiving and talking about the game. We got dressed and redid our make-up quickly before getting our stuff and walking out of the school. I was glad the day was finally over.
"So Bells you want to hang out this weekend?" Alice asked walking me over to my bike.
"Uh I'll have to ask my dad but yea sure." I said smiling. She grinned at me bouncing on her heels. "You know Tink you have a lot of energy." I teased and she stuck her tongue out at me.
She handed me a piece of paper "Here's my number text me when you find out if you can go or not."
I grinned and mentally cheered, I got the girl of my dreams number. Funny thing is that she's literally the girl of my dreams. I grabbed my helmet after shoving my bag in the storage compartment. I swung my leg over the bike and turned back to Alice. She was looking at me intently and she moved closer.
"Bella?" she whispered leaning in.
"Yea?" I asked closing my eyes and leaning into her.
"About that poem in biology." She said and I jerked away like someone had slapped me.
"It was nothing Alice I have to go though." I said pulling on my helmet and turning on my bike.
"Bella wait." She pleaded.
"Forget it Alice."
I pulled out and sped down the road not really caring about speed limits. Today had been long enough with too many confusing parts. Maybe I should just check myself into the nearest asylum. The thought made me chuckle as I sped away from the town towards LaPush. The cliffs sounded like I nice place to be.
So there you go 3rd chapter! Review please!
