Chapter 2
Gucci
The next thing I knew I was dreaming. I knew it was a dream because for one I was in a forest and two it was kind of fuzzy like a dense fog was covering everything. In this dream I was walking through the forest. I was walking in what seemed like the same spot never moving, like I was on a treadmill. I never tripped, because nothing but clear grass was under me. I felt as if I was swimming in a sea of green, everything was green. The grass was of course green, the leaves were green, and the bark on the trees was covered in green.
Then even though I was walking in the same spot some person stepped out in front of me. He was nice looking; he had shorter bronze hair however his eyes were strange. They were black, even though they were such a deep black something in them made them look as if his eyes were black paint. His whole body, everything about him was calling me forward, his smile is what made my decision to go. This time I actually moved as if he removed the treadmill from underneath me.
When I was almost to my visitor a russet brown wolf stepped in front of me, he was huge, as tall as a horse. This wolf was somewhat annoying not letting me go near this beautiful person, however something in me wanted this wolf around, I felt protected like nothing would go wrong. Then the man wanted me and he stepped forward trying to get around this wolf. I smiled at the thought that he wanted me as bad as I wanted him. This wolf however was pulling my last nerve because the second the bronzed haired man moved the wolf pulled back his lips to show his teeth and let out a vicious growl. The man didn't like it and jumped onto the wolf, hurting him. I felt a horrible pain for the wolf I wanted to help him, but the boy stared at me with his black eyes telling me to stay…
My cell phone buzzed on my nightstand, I reluctantly got up not wanting the vision of this heartwarming man to disappear or the picture of the friendly wolf. I looked at my clock and saw six thirty, just in time to get ready for my first day at forks high school. I rolled out of bed to search through my closet for something decent to wear. I ended up picking out a gray classic sweatshirt with my favorite pair of skinny jeans and purple sneakers.
After I had my days outfit on I went to the bathroom to comb my hair, brush my teeth, and wash my face. I heard Charlie down in the kitchen; I went down to say hello and eat before leaving. Charlie made eggs and bacon that I could smell it all the way upstairs. "Morning dad." I said when I reached the kitchen. Charlie had already dished up my food knowing the perfect amount I normally eat.
"Good morning Bella. How was your night?" Charlie said putting a spoon full of eggs in his mouth. As usual Charlie was reading the daily paper; he likes to keep current especially with being a police officer.
"Good." I sighed and sat next to Charlie, ready to eat fast to get going. When Charlie brought up the subject of last night I instantly remembered that Jacob was here last night. "Umm dad, when did everyone go home last night? Sorry I kind of fell asleep I had a long day." I wondered how much Charlie knew about what happened between me and Jacob last night.
"Jacob came downstairs around eight thirty, he said you fell asleep on him." Charlie laughed. "After that everyone went home, you're not the only one with school today." Charlie and I ate in silence then I grabbed my bag so Charlie and I could leave.
Of course without having my own car Charlie had to drive me to school. Everyone knows that nothing slows down traffic like a police car. We drove incredibly slow; I just wanted to get to school so I could get home. When we were about a block away Charlie said I had to go to the main office to get my schedule and that he would drive me right up to it so I wouldn't get lost. Great, now the whole school will see me getting out of the police chiefs car, way to go dad already ruining my chance of having friends. "Buy, Bells see you when I get home. You should make dinner there is a reason for the pizza last night." He laughed as I stepped out of the car and I walked my way to the office, two feet in front of me.
I walked into the small office and an old woman was smiling at the desk, guessing she would know what I had to do I walked over to her. "Good morning dear, how may I help you?" I told her my name and she gave me my schedule. "Now her you go, and take this pink slip and have all your teachers sign it and bring it back here." I nodded and left to go to my first class. It was in building three, English wonderful.
I walked into the English room with everyone's eyes on me. They all felt like daggers, I never really liked attention. All the desks were full except one in the very back, I didn't mind sitting in the back because then it would be harder for everyone to look at me. I tried walking to the seat but the teacher stopped me. "I'm Mrs. Davis, you must be Isabella Swan." She said with a welcoming smile. Looks like today's going to be a long day.
"Bella." I corrected after I handed her my slip and then I walked silently to the back of the room, daggers still on my back. The class was really boring all we talked about was a book I already had to read last year, and even though I was in the back everyone found away to look at me. English dragged on for what seemed like forever before finally, the bell rang. I grabbed my bag and when I looked up to leave a boy that looked way too helpful was standing over my desk. He had greasy black hair and too much acne but at least he looked nice.
"Hi I'm Eric Yorkie, you must be Isabella Swan." Most definitely over helpful and yes this will be a long day.
"Bella." I sighed, he showed me to my next class trigonometry in building six. He walked me all the way up to the door even though it clearly said six. Mr. Tanner taught this class, he made me stand in front of the class and say my name plus I had to sit in the front row. Way to go Mr. Tanner my least favorite subject now paired with my least favorite teacher. After his class I had history then Spanish. A girl in the back who I ended up sitting by was in my trig class as well.
"I'm Jessica, your Bella." Of course she already knew I liked to be called Bella but it was still nice to hear something other than Isabella. I smiled at her and then tried to concentrate on the teacher but she had other plans. "So do you know who you are sitting by at lunch?" I shrugged I honestly was planning to sit alone if I couldn't find anywhere else to go.
"Well now you know, you can sit at our table." She smiled again and started bighting her pen. She obviously wanted to say more but the teacher was staring at her.
"Miss Stanley, please share with the class how you say 'Can I borrow your pencil.'" The teacher just told the class but of course she knew Jessica was too busy talking to me. She blushed and gave the wrong answer.
"Jezz like how was I supposed know that." She whispered.
"Miss Swan then, can you tell me how to say 'Can I borrow your pencil.'" I was glad that I paying more attention to the teacher then Jessica.
"¿Me prestas tu lápiz?" I said shyly and Jessica just stared at me, obviously wondering how I knew that.
Jessica didn't talk for the rest of Spanish. Most of the stuff that was being said I already knew so I didn't really pay that close of attention. A couple rows ahead of me there was this girl, she didn't seem to be paying attention either. She was kind of short, she was small altogether. She had dark brown pixie like hair. The reason I knew she wasn't paying attention was that she had her phone out under her desk, most likely texting. The bell rang and Jessica instantly started talking.
"Oh my god, she is so harsh. I mean really no one ever pays attention to her but the second I stop she asks me something that I would never know! Hey how did you know that anyway?" I didn't want her to feel bad so I just said,
"We already learned this in Phoenix." I wasn't lying because we did, so lucky for me my face didn't give me away. We were almost to the lunch room and Jessica started talking again.
"Lucky, I mean really Alice was texting in the front row and the teacher didn't do anything. If that was me my phone would have been gone. I think she hates me." So I wasn't the only one to notice her texting. Her name was Alice, that wasn't exactly the most common name; maybe her parents like old fashioned names.
All I got for lunch was a soda, I wasn't real hungry. As planed I sat with Jessica and her friends, the guy from English sat here as well. Jessica told me all their names but I didn't really pay attention to them. I sat by Jessica and a girl with really curly long brown hair, it was pretty. I almost forgot that I had my phone in my pocket when it buzzed. It was a text message from Jacob.
Jacob: How's your first day going? I sighed and Jessica looked at me.
"That's a cute phone Bella. I need your number! Oh and thank god you know how to text." Then the other girl that was sitting next me turned to see what Jessica was talking about. I just ignored them and replied to Jacob.
Bella: Fine, really boring though. I sent the text and Jessica was still talking, I decided to block her out, the other girl sitting next to me seemed to be doing the same thing.
"Warning, Jess talks a lot." The girl sitting next to Jessica said. Wow I'm horrible at names what was hers again?
"Yah, I noticed." I finally remember her name, it was Samantha Jones but she had a thing with her first name like me. My phone buzzed again,
Jacob: That's good. I'm glad no one is picking on you because that would mean I would have to kick some ass. I smiled when I read his message and of course the first person to notice was Jessica.
"Who are you talking to Bella? Do I know her?" why does everyone always assume it's a girl.
"No, I don't think so; he goes to school on the rez." I said an emphasis on the he.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Sam asked. I shook my head and I felt another buzz.
Jacob: Anyway we need to do something, and without you sleeping this time : ).
Bella: Okay. I let the buzz of the laughing and talking flow around me and stared into space.
"Sam I think Bella's staring at your boyfriend." Jessica laughed, that's the next thing I heard because she said my name. Until then I didn't even notice I was staring at anyone but apparently I was.
"He's not my boyfriend, however I do wish." Samantha said.
"I'm sorry I didn't know I was looking at anyone."I apologized to Sam.
"Don't worry Bella he's totally hot, who doesn't stare at him." Jessica smiled and nudged the side of my stomach. The table I was looking at had five people sitting there.
"Who are they anyway?" I said before I took another sip of my soda.
"Well, the blonde pretty one, the one who belongs on a cover of sports illustrated is Rosalie Hale. Then her boyfriend is the really muscular one with short blackish brown hair is Emmett Cullen. His sister the little one with pixie hair is Alice Cullen and she's dating the boy with blonde hair he's Rosalie's twin Jasper Hale. And last the sexy one with bronze hair is Edward Cullen. Dr. Cullen and Mrs. Cullen adopted them all." Sam informed me.
"Stocker." Jessica said, and then laughed. "Only you would know that much about Edward Cullen." Jess laughed more, Edward must be the one Sam likes; I can see that they would look good together. "To bad they all keep to themselves though, isn't it Sam?" Sam nodded then Edward turned his head looking at us. He looks familiar maybe I've seen him around town or something.
"Bella, some dude named Jacob asked if it was okay that he picked you up from school today." Jessica said, and the second I heard it I snapped.
"Jess, why do you have my phone?" She looked at me shocked.
"Number, hello Bella. My god Bella it's like you have something your hiding. Oh and here you go." She handed me my phone. "So Jacob is your friend I see, oh my god this is a record! Edwards looking at us again."
"What! No way." Sam looked up from her food, eyes huge. I laughed, Sam must really like him. Just then hand in hand Jasper and Alice got up to throw away their food, nothing hardly touched. They walked right behind us and I could feel their stares on my back. "That's so cool; maybe he changed his mind about me."
"Hardly Sam you asked him out like twenty times and he always says no." I laughed, wow that was kind of sad. "So Bella what do you have next?" Jessica asked. Edward was now looking at his brother and Rosalie.
"Umm biology with Mason." I said, and instantly Edward looked at us again like someone called his name.
"Yay, you have that with me. And Edward." Sam said. That obviously was her favorite class. I smiled at her and went into my own little world. Then I remembered Jacob texted me, what did he want again?
Jacob: Bells, maybe we could hang out today. Do you want me to pick you up after school? At that moment that is all I wanted to do, get away from school and be with Jacob.
Bella: Sure. Pick me up by the office; you know where it is right? I sent it then went back into my own little world again. Until I felt a buzz in my pocket.
Jacob: I might not go to your school but I know where it is. And yah that's fine I get out of school sooner so I'll be there right away.
Bella: Okay. I was about to put my phone away when it buzzed, wow Jacob was fast.
Jessica: Hehe this is my number : )
"Umm thanks Jess." I smiled, and she flipped her long brown hair over her shoulder. I felt another buzz and it was Sam.
Sam: My number too, don't worry me and Jess have free texting : ) I smiled, I always found it funny when people would text each other when they were both right there.
"Edwards looking again Sam, Maybe he does like you." I said, and then right in my ear I heard Sam scream.
"Jessica you got MILK ON MY NEW GUCCI PANTS!"Sam was clearly angry.
"I'm so sorry." Jessica said, Sam was looking at her pants but if she was looking at Jessica like I was she would have seen her roll her eyes. Sam walked off and in the corner of my eye I saw Edward laughing. I felt another buzz in my pocket.
Sam: OMG if Jess wasn't my friend for twelve years she would be so dead and again lucky for her my locker is full of cute clothes. I felt bad for Sam that was chocolate milk Jessica spilt and she was wearing white pants.
Bella: Yah those were cute pants. Just then the blonde one and Emmet got up leaving Edward alone, again as they went behind me I could feel there stares. Then my phone went off twice, one time after another.
Sam: Thanks.
Bella: No problem. I replied then checked my phone to see who the other text was from.
Jacob: Never mind, I have to be ten minutes late you got me busted for texting.
Bella: Why were you texting me during class, don't reply. I can't believe Jake would do that, how stupid.
"Bella, you never told me if you think Edward was cute or not. Sam's not here so you're safe." Jessica asked, I don't even remember her asking me that. I looked up at Edward because I honestly I didn't really look at him yet. He looked just like the man in my dream last night, with him and the wolf. Except Edward had caramel eyes not black.
"I guess he's cute." I said being fully honest.
"Interesting."Jess said.
"Umm sure." If I wasn't already looking at him I wouldn't have seen him smile. He obviously was in his own world.
"Oh well I will just have to remember that. So this Jacob dude, all you told me is that he goes to the reservation high school so he must be an Indian right? OMG I wonder if he's cute? " Of course that's all that would cross Jessica's mind.
Edward got up from his table leaving it empty, unlike his family he didn't go anywhere near me. "It's not all about the looks Jess, Jacob's really nice that's why I like him." I blushed, of course the looks help.
"Whatever you say Bella, but I think you think he's cute you just blushed." I blushed again this time my face looked like a tomato. "I see now, Bella likes them with a tan." Jessica laughed and I put my head on the table. How in the world did this conversation get like this! My phoned buzzed and I groaned wishing I could just vanish.
Sam: All changed
Bella: You need to come save me now please.
Sam: LOL okay on my way. Sam seemed nice, I think her and I will get along really well. Sam came back and sat next me.
"So what's so horrible that I needed to come back?" Sam smiled.
"Bella won't admit that Jacob's her boyfriend!" I groaned at the thought.
"He's only sixteen! Plus I think he has a girlfriend on the rez." I sighed at the thought, he probably does.
"Oh you cougar you! Bella that's only one year silly." Jessica said and rolled her eyes.
"Jess, can't Bella have him just as a friend?" Sam asked and I gave her a look that said "thanks".
"Yah but it's clear on her face that she likes him. Whatever." Jessica sighed and gave up.
"Bella I'm so sorry but I just realized you can't sit with me in biology, I have to sit next to some frizzy headed girl. The only seat left is next to Edward." I looked up at Sam and she looked like she wanted to sit next to him. "Mr. Mason has this rule about assigned seating." She sighed.
"That's fine." I smiled at Sam. Jessica got up to throw away her tray and Sam and I followed. "I love how long they give us for lunch." Sam said as we left the cafeteria. We went around to the outside lunch area were the school had a bunch of benches.
"You came to Forks at the right time Bella. It's kind of warm for this time of year." Jessica said and I looked at with shocked eyes. Today it was about fifty seven degrees out, how much colder can it get! In Phoenix today was seventy.
"How cold is normal?" I asked.
"I think it's around low fifty's right Jess?" Sam asked, and I knew that I was in for a long time without seeing my seventies again. Jessica nodded confirming my estimate.
"It's not that bad Bella, wait until it snows! Then the cold is so worth it." Jessica said, and I realized I have never seen snow. However I knew that if it snowed then it was too cold to rain. "Oh and also it hasn't rained in almost eight days! Now if only the sun came out it would be perfect!"
"I know right? I mean how many days does it take for it not to rain for the sun to come out?" Sam said.
"I think Phoenix is stealing it all." Jessica said then laughed.
"Hey Bella if you're from Phoenix how come you're all white?" Sam asked.
"I think someone was albino in my family, it's almost impossible for me to get a tan." I said as I looked at my skin.
"That sucks." Sam said and I smiled at her. "In the summer if it gets real sunny I almost look Mexican." She laughed and so did Jessica. I felt my phone buzz and I sighed, I thought I told Jacob not to text me.
Mom: Hey honey how's your first day of school? Did you make friends? Oh I miss you so much, please come home.
Bella: School fine, about as good as school can get. And yes I do have friends, some really nice ones. There is Jessica she's really talkative but she's nice. Then there's Samantha, she's really nice we get along real well. And I miss you too. I sent mom the message and sighed, I knew she would miss me and I would miss her. I just had to let her and Phil have alone time. My phone buzzed again and mom replied.
Mom: Well that's good, tell Charlie I said hi. Love you.
Bella: I will, and I love you too. I finally finished my soda and threw it away just as the bell rang.
"Ready to go to class Bella?" Sam asked.
"Yah, just as long as the rest of my day goes fast." I sighed I just wanted to be with Jacob already, and this time I will not fall asleep.
"Don't worry bio should go fast, as if Edward isn't even there. He never talks." Sam said.
