When I reached Forks high School, there were only two other cars parked there. One was a shiny silver Volvo, and the other was a beat-up white mercury. Ooh, a Volvo. Sexy. I thought sarcastically, before pulling into a parking space just outside the office, and heading inside for directions. The frail, grandmotherly woman behind the desk looked a bit shocked by my appearance, but not as much as you would expect. I approached her, saying, "Hello, I'm Bella Swan"
"Oh, uh, hello" she stammered "here are your slips. Please have your teachers sign them and bring them back to me at the end of the day" she seemed a bit more relaxed now. After moving my blue Mercedes, assuming that I wasn't supposed to be parked outside the office, I noticed that the parking lot was nearly full now. So I gathered my books and headed to building 5 for English. Not sure whether I should sit down or have my slip signed, I pondered for a bit and decided on the slip first.
"Hello, I'm Bella Swan" I said once I had reached Mr. Davidson's desk
"Oh, welcome Bella" said Mr. Davidson, trying to sound casual as he signed my slip, but the look on his face suggested that he was battling off his desire to hit on me in his head. I would bet anything that he was thinking something along the lines of 'she's a teenager for gods sake get over her'
"There you are" he said, handing me my slip "why don't you go sit next to mike over there" he said gesturing to and empty seat in the third row, where blonde-haired, blue-eyed, baby-faced boy sat. I thanked Mr. Davidson and sauntered gracefully back to my seat.
"Hi, I'm Mike" the boy said, looking kind of awed and unsettled. I wondered if my deep, ruby eyes were turning him on or scaring him. Perhaps a bit of both.
"My name is Bella," I introduced myself
"Want to listen to some music?" he asked pulling out his blue ipod
"Sure" I replied. This Mike really seemed to like me; maybe I would ask him out. I wasn't sure though, because he did come on a bit needy
"Do you like ac/dc?" mike asked me
"Absolutely" I replied "I have every single one of their albums!" I replied
"Who was your favorite lead singer, Bon Scott, Or Brian Johnson?"
"That's hard to say" I pondered "my favorite songs of all time were sung by Brian, but Bon had a more unique voice and his songs were great, too."
After a long discussion about ac/dc's music, both with Bon Scott, and with Brian Johnson, the bell rung, and we listened to the tracks on 'for those about to rock we salute you' and 'dirty deeds done dirt cheap' through Mr. Davidson's lecture. While we listened, I used my left hand to write some note's on the lecture, which I could still hear through the blaring music. Man, this complex vampire mind is fantastic for multitasking.
After English, I went through math, trigometry, and gym with ease. Coach Clapp found me a suit, and I eagerly joined in the volleyball game, though the Coach offered to let me sit out, an offer I would have accepted without a second thought as a clumsy human. I teamed up with mike, who was good for a human, and had tons of fun watching our opponents ogle at my grace and precision. After we had won three games out of five, Mike high-fived me, and left for the boy's locker room. Out of the corner of my eye I could see him rubbing his hand. Maybe I had slapped him a bit too hard. It was easy to forget about my stone-hard body. After quickly changing back into my clothes, I walked to the cafeteria, doing my best to walk at a human pace. Once I reached my destination, I got in line, figuring I would just buy food and throw it out. I didn't want to arouse suspicion. After I had bought a slice of pizza and a diet Pepsi, I saw mike waving at me from halfway across the room. I agilely sauntered over to the table and sat down between Mike and a blonde girl I'd never met before
"Hi Bella" he greeted me "this is Jessica" he said, gesturing to the blonde girl
"Hey, Bella" she said, just a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Nice to meet you" I responded
"I'm Angela" said a short, dark-haired girl sitting across from me, who, unlike the other girl had no edge of jealousy to her voice. Angela then introduced me to the rest of their table, and then I noticed them. They were obviously vampires, like me, but their eyes were coal black from thirst. One of the girls was tall, and statuesque, with wavy blonde hair down to her waist. The other was extremely tiny, perhaps less than five feet tall, with short, spiky hair the same deep shade of black as her eyes. I noticed that two of the boys looked older, and bulkier. One had dark curls, the same color as the tiny girl's hair, and huge muscles. The other bulky one was slightly less muscular, with shaggy blonde hair. I wondered if he and the blonde girl were twins. The smaller boy, who was not quite as muscular as the other two, had strange bronze colored hair, in casual disarray.
"Who are they?" I asked Angela casually
"Oh, they're The Cullens adopted children, who moved down here from Alaska a few years ago. The one with the huge muscles is Emmett Cullen, and the blonde boy is Jasper hale. He's Rosalie's- the blonde one's- twin. The tiny girl is Alice Cullen, and the bronze haired one is Edward."
"That was nice of the Cullens to take them in" I said, trying to keep up the human charade by giving the response I would have as a human. Later I would have to get the Cullens alone and talk to them. I really wanted to find out if vampires aged. I was pretty sure we didn't but not entirely, and the Cullens seemed to have known this life longer than I have, so they would know.
"It's really interesting" Angela continued "they all found love within their family. Jasper is with Alice and Rosalie is with Emmett. Edward is single though."
"Interesting" I mused. I'd never seen a vampire clan so large. Edward was looking at me with a somewhat frustrated expression.
When the Bell rung, I said goodbye to my friends and headed to biology. After having my slip signed, I sat down next to Edward, in the only empty seat.
"Hello" he said pleasantly, with the same mildly frustrated expression he was wearing earlier.
"Hi" I said "my name's Bella" I was sure he knew my name, he'd probably overheard it in my conversations [vampire hearing]
My class with Edward went basically the same way English with Mike had, except instead of AC/DC we discussed school of fish. Both of us like their first, self-titled album better than human cannonball, and we both liked the tracks '3 strange days' 'king of the dollar' and 'fell' the best. After passing notes with our right hands while using our left hands to make a perfect replica of Mr. Mason's lecture, the Bell rung, ending class.
"You seem nice" Edward said "we should hang out some times"
"Sure." I replied "why don't we meet at your house?"
"Sounds good." He said, scrawling the directions on a piece of paper he handed to me
"See you there" I said
"See you" he replied
I will try to update again within the next few days
