Chapter 2: Memory Lane
Bella's Point Of View:
Edward and I got to class in time. Mr. Lexington wasn't here yet, so we had a few minutes to kill. I saw a empty table. I walked over to the table and sat down. Edward sat down next to me. Then I said,
"So,when did you become an "Emmett"?"
"You still remember that." He said with a little laugh
"How can I forget. You and Emmett used to through me in the pool every time I laughed or heard about your guys dream about being on the football team and running the school together. After Emmett left you always tried to help me out of the pool,but instead I always pulled you in with me."
"You know my phone was ruined because of that."
"I know,I felt a little bad when you told me."
"I remember."
Mr. Lexington finally entered the room and said,
"Sorry I'm late guys. Family problems came up."
Everyone got in their seats. Mr. Lexington looked at the attendance sheet and said,
"Well,it looks like we have a new student. Ms. Rivera?"
"Here." I said raising my hand half way
Edward looked at me weird,as if I was crazy. I looked back at Mr. Lexington and he said,
"Welcome to Forks High."
"Thank you, Mr. Lexington." I answered
Mr. Lexington turned to the white board and started to write out the lecture. I knew Edward would have questions so I grabbed a pencil and started writing on a piece of binder paper in my some what decent hand writing and the note said,
The reason I came back to Forks was because Phil kicked me out practically. Because my mom died, she died by a car accident.
-Bella
I passed the note to Edward from under the table. He grabbed it still looking up ahead. He looked down at the note and read it, he looked at me with sorry eyes. I shrugged. Then he got a pen out and wrote on the note. He folded it and passed it back to me. Mr. Lexington was really into his lecture so he didn't notice. I opened the note back up and it said in his perfect hand writing,
Oh,I'm sorry. Why would Phil do that to you? I thought you said he was nice. What caused the accident? And what's up with the last name crap. What happened to your dad?
I looked at him,he didn't notice. I took a deep breath. It was hard to talk about my mother' s death. But this was Edward, my best friend. So I wrote the summary of my sad life.
It was a rainy night,and my mom was coming home late from the mall apparently to give me my birthday present. But while she was rushing a drunk driver was going the wrong way and both of the cars rammed into each other. When Phil and I found out, we were very depressed. Phil brought me aside one day a told me I had to move back with my dad. He didn't want to deal with me anymore. But what was really unfortunate was that my dad had died during duty a month before the crash. So Phil asked one of his friends if they wanted to adopt a kid,he said yes. It didn't matter how old the kid was they didn't care. Phil sent them a file about me and they gladly took me in. Lucky me, they decided to move to Forks. And here we are now.
I re-folded the note and passed it to Edward. He read it, then scribbled something on the note quickly and passed it back to me.
I'm sorry. Know that I'll always be here for you. Always.
I folded the note and put in my pocket. I poked Edward by the shoulder, he turned, facing me. I smiled at him and then mouthed "Thank You". He smiled back at me and then mouthed "Your Welcome". Mr. Lexington was still talking, his lecture was pretty simple from what I could see on the board. I was in a pretty good mood,until I felt my phone vibrate. I looked at the text and it said,
Bella don't forget you have therapy today after school.
-Mom
I didn't want to go to therapy. But if I skipped it again, my mom will be pissed at me. I put my phone back in my pocket and looked back at Mr. Lexington. Today was just the beginning to a very high level of drama, I can feel it. What am I gonna do?I thought to myself.
-Hey Guys!I know it looks just like the note passing in Eclipse but I couldn't think of anything else. But I hope you enjoy this chapter, I'll try to write more soon. The next chapter will be about Bella's therapy appointment, we'll see how that goes. Please review. Thanks!-
