I do not own Twilight.
Chapter 8
I entered my biology classroom and talked to the teacher. He gave me a bunch of papers and then told me to sit in the only empty table.
"Don't worry, you are lucky Mr. Cullen is going to be your lab partner." The teacher told me. I wonder who he meant Emmet, Jasper, or Edward? And why was I lucky?
When biology was over, I walked to P.E. class as quickly as I could being careful enough not to trip. Thankfully I didn't have to play today. We were being lectured about the rules of Volleyball. At the end of the class, I took my time getting dressed in hopes that most people would be gone when I got out.
When I finally got out, someone was waiting for me. It was Mike.
"Hey Bella."
"Hey."
"Bella, I wanted to talk to you."
"I don't know you so I don't think we have anything to talk about."
"Yes we do. Look Bella I'm so sorry. I talked to Angela before P.E. class and I wanted to apologize for being such a jerk. I sometimes don't think about what I'm doing. Can we be friends?"
It took me a minute to think about it. But I decided to take the offer since I didn't need to make my life any more complicated. "Fine" I said.
"Great!" He actually sounded cheerful.
"Hey umm…can I ask you something."
"Yeah whatever you want."
"What were you doing at the Cullen's Saturday?"
"Oh. I have a cousin who lives in Port Angeles. She helped the Cullen's decorate the house for the wedding. That's what she does for living. Anyway I think your mom invited her to the wedding for some reason, and she couldn't resist. She didn't want to go alone so she invited me."
"Oh." That's all I said. I was glad that I was not secretly related to him too.
He walked me to my car. The next few days went well. During lunch I sat in the same table and Mike and others sat there too. To my surprise not that many people were mad at me. Jessica wasn't mad at me or at least she didn't seem to be. She just kept asking me about the Cullens. I just told her that I didn't really know them well, and that they weren't here for the moment.
AN: I hope you read the other chapter I uploaded yesterday. There were two. Again I want to thank everyone who keeps commenting, adding the story to their favorites and alerts. I really appreciate it.
