My alarm clock went off, but it didn't matter, I had been awake for at least an hour already. I got up to take a shower and get ready for the horrible day that awaited me. Before leaving I quickly looked in the mirror, just to make sure I didn't look too bad. I usually didn't care what I looked like, but you always have to make a good impression on your first day, right? Deciding I looked decent enough, I left and headed out through the door.
As I walked outside to get to my truck, I saw my neighbor Charlie leaving for his job. He was the chief of the of the police in Forks and was almost like a dad to me. He had even given me his last name, since I didn't even have one when I was found. He must of seen the expression of anxiety on my face because he yelled over to me.
"Don't worry, Bella. You'll be fine. Trust me, you'll make friends fast."
" No, I won't," He rolled his eyes at me.
"Fine then. I'm sure with an attitude like that you'll have friends in no time." I rolled my eyes and ignored him.
As I headed for Forks High School, I put my hoody over my head to try and get warm. It was cold outside and my ancient truck never warmed up fast enough. That was another difference I had. I didn't have that burning temperature that all the other wolves did. Mine only got 102 or 103 degrees, at the most. Neither Sam, or the chief members knew why I had that problem. The only hypothesis they came up with was that I had differences from them because I wasn't a descendent from the Quileutes. It sounded reasonable enough to me.
When I arrived to the school, I parked the farthest away I could from all the other students. As I got out of my truck, I could see all the teenagers staring at me. They usually didn't get new students, so I was warned this would happen. I looked down, trying to pretend like I didn't notice them, although how could anyone not notice so many stares? Once I got to the main office, I took off my hood and asked the lady at the front desk for my schedule. The whole office smelled of warm vanilla candles, a tiny hint of cinnamon and coffee. I loved coffee so much...
The lady behind the desk cleared her throat to get me back from my distraction. I apologized and took the schedule from her.

I sighed. Lunch was so long from now.
When I got to my first class, I was late. I had had trouble finding my locker and the class wasn't to easy to find either. I walked in and of course, everyone's head turned in my direction. The obviously oblivious teacher then forced me to stand in front of the class and introduce my self. While I was standing up in front of the class, he asked me to share something that's interesting about myself. I thought of the look on my classmates faces if I would have said; "My name is Bella and I'm a dis-functional werewolf". I shook that thought from my head and ended up just telling them I was from the reservation.
The class acted like they didn't care so I just quickly took a seat. I made sure to sit in a seat in the very back, I absolutely hated the front, too much attention would be focused on me. Back here, people would actually have turn around to stare at me, which apparently didn't deter them from doing just that.
So during class, some blonde haired boy with small blue eyes who was sitting in front of me, turned around and introduced himself.
"I'm Mike Newton," he stretched out his hand out for me to shake.
"I'm Bella Swan," I took his hand and gave it a soft squeeze.
" Its nice to meet you, Bella."
"Likewise."
He talked to me during most of class. He mostly told me about what the class had already learned. While he was talking, I spaced out and started day dreaming about being in my old school with all the other guys. Right now, I would have been in my first class with Embry, another werewolf from the pack. When class ended, Mike offered to take me to my next class and I was glad because without his guidance, I would have probably been late again. Instead, I was the first one there. I made sure to thank Mike before he left for being so nice to me. I walked over the teacher, gave her the note she needed to sign, and then sat where she told me to, the last seat in the 1st row. I waited for the class to fill up and start, when the teacher told them that I was new of course everyone just gawked at me. I better get use to this, because I'm sure its gonna happen all day long.
The teacher began to call roll and I froze when I heard the 4th name that was called.
"Edward Cullen."
"Here."
The soft velvet voice came from the left side of the room. I was fearful to look over but did it anyways. As soon as I glanced over, he looked over at me too. Our eyes meet for a brief second before I quickly turned away.
Just ignore him, I thought. If I didn't get in his way, he wouldn't get in mine.
He kept glancing over at me through out the whole class, and I tried to pretend like I didn't even
know he was there. Did he know I was a werewolf? Sam had told me that we didn't smell very pleasing to vampires, maybe he was disturbed by my scent. But then again, the pack said I had a particular scent, a different one, not quite like a werewolves'. Maybe he didn't realize I was one of them?
When class was over, he walked out fast, but gave me a quick glance before he left. I could feel my skin tingling a little, maybe from my wolf instincts reacting to being in a room with a vampire. As I walked out of the classroom, I debated on weather I should call to tell Sam. I decided yes. I took out my small phone and saw that Seth had texted me. I looked at it secretly so that no one would catch me.
- Hey! Don't worry, I know you'll have a great day!
I sighed. Giving up on calling Sam, I texted Seth back.
- Thanks. Its okay so far.
I was lying of course, but I didn't want to ruin his day just because mine was already crappy. Besides, it really wasn't that bad. Except for the whole having-a-Cullen-in-class thing, it was alright. If I just avoid him, I'm sure things will be just fine.
My next two classes went by just as the others. I couldn't wait to get out of school and go home. In my Spanish class, I met a girl named Jessica who offered to let me sit at lunch with her. I accepted but didn't really pay attention to what she babbled about other than that. And she talked the whole time at lunch. I honestly don't even think that she invited me because she was trying to be friendly, I think she wanted to get attention, more than anything. The boy Mike sat with us at lunch too. People kept glancing at me and I could hear them talking about me as well. Some of the conversations were about me being from La push, others were wondering if I had a boyfriend, and some were just about debating on whether they should introduce themselves.
I looked around the cafeteria, just curious to see what it all looked like. That's when I saw the whole table of vampires at the right corner. They weren't eating, but they still had food on their trays. They weren't talking either, they were just staring out into space. I don't know why they tried to act like humans, they just didn't blend in. Or maybe it was just me who couldn't see them as being able to fit in with everyone else. I was confused though. How hadn't they noticed me yet? Surely I have to smell somewhat like a werewolf. If not then I'm a total failure.
I looked away and concentrated on something else. I had already finished my plate of food, and I was still hungry, but of course I wasn't going to act like a animal and eat three trays of food. So I did the only thing I could and acted satisfied. I checked my phone again and saw that I had 2 new messages. The first one was from Seth, and the second one was from Jacob.
– That's great! I'm glad :)
– I texted back with a simple, Yeah.
– Hey, I miss you. School is so boring with out you.
I couldn't help but smile at Jacob's message.
– I miss you too. School is extremely boring over here as well. :(
As I walked into my 5th class after lunch, I smelled a sweet scent in the air. It was the same one I had caught during my 2nd class. When I looked toward where I thought the scent might be coming from, I felt all the blood drain from my face. There he was again. The same Cullen I had in the other class. I walked over to the teacher, trying to go unnoticed by the vampire. The teacher handed me a text book and I looked around for an empty desk. The only one empty was the one next to Cullen.
Shit! I'm so screwed. I cannot believe this is happening!
The teacher told me to go sit next to him so class could start. I forced my feet to walk over to the desk. I didn't even look at him and sat as farthest away as I possibly could. He just . . . looked at me and then pretended like there was something more interesting outside the window.
I could feel his stare on me through out the class. I didn't look at him either though, I was too scared and throughout class I had to control my shaking. And normally when we werewolves shake, its because we're trembling with pure anger and rage. But that wasn't the reason for this certain situation, it was because I was nervous as hell. I'm surprised I didn't go into a full out panic attack.
There was one thing I noticed though. He didn't smell as bad as the pack said vampires did. He actually smelled kind of... good.
I felt like the class went by too slowly, but finally, it ended. I gathered my things quickly, and was the first one out of the classroom. I couldn't believe I had just sat down next to my natural-born enemy. From then on, the rest of my school day went by as a blur.
