Chapter 3
Dizzy
I sluggishly walked to my seat making sure I didn't trip or anything stupid like that. My table was off to the right of the room next to the windows. Edward sat on the right of our table so I had no choice but sit on the left, next to some boy that stunk real badly. I put my bag on the ground taking out a notebook and pencil than sat down. Then politely I smiled at Edward and he practically ignored me. I noticed that he was angled away from me and had a look of pain on his face like he was furious I had to sit by him. I put my arm up as a shield as the teacher started talking.
"Today we will be doing a partner activity." I immediately thought of Sam to be my partner, I just hoped she would return the favor by wanting to be mine. "Just to make things simple you will work with the other person at your table." I felt my body get tense then daringly I looked up to see how Edward reacted. I wish I hadn't however because he was staring at me with his black eyes that sent a shiver through my core. I looked away from him as the teacher started passing out papers. For something to do I took out my phone and turned it on silent. Then I looked across the room and saw Sam texting someone so I knew she wouldn't mind if I texted her.
Bella: Help me :( I sent the message and put my phone in my pocket just as Mr. Mason came to our table. Than once he was gone I looked at my phone and saw Sam responded.
Sam: Well first of all what did you do to Edward? Stab him with a pencil or something? I've never seen him this pissed. Oh great so this wasn't Edward's normal personality. That mean he must really dislikes me…but what did I even do to get him so annoyed?
Bella: I don't know, I never even said a word to him.
Sam: Hmm I wonder what happened, whatever it was it had to be before class.
Bella: Yah.
Sam: Umm Bella I'll talk to you after class…before my partner screws everything up. I put my phone away then sighed before looking at the worksheet. I was stunned to see that Edward had already completed over half of the work in the time it took everyone else to finish two questions. I read through his work to see if he was answering the questions correctly only to find he was doing better than I would have.
"Mr. Cullen I hope you're letting Isabella help you. After all she's needs the practice more then you."
"Bella is helping, I'm just writing down the answers for her."I was taken aback when Edward corrected Mr. Mason, I myself didn't even know that he knew I preferred being called Bella. Mr. Mason turned around and went back to the front of the room. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. I looked down to think and realized it was better if I didn't say anything at all. When I looked back up at Edward he was working on the worksheet again. I looked down at the desk and decided to wait out the class…it couldn't be too much longer.
Gym, my last class of the day….lucky me. "So what are you doing tonight Bella?" Sam asked as we left the gym at the end of the day.
"Just hanging out with a friend then going home to make dinner for Charlie." I replied.
"Oh right that Jacob guy, well have fun. Call me if you can, but hey I have to go now bye." Sam gave me a smile then took off for her car, I noticed everyone's car looked pretty old so at least when I get my car I won't have to spend too much money. The only nice car I saw was a silver Volvo. I turned around and headed to the office. On my way I passed Alice Cullen, the girl in my Spanish class, and she smiled at me. I smiled back to be polite.
When I got into the office I handed the lady my slip. "How was your first day? Did everything work out well?" the lady behind the counter asked.
"Good, everything went fine."I responded then left. When I walked out of the door Jacob was there waiting for me in a 53 Chevrolet pickup truck. The paint was red but it was really faded. I stepped in and said, "Hey, I thought you said you would be late?"
"I did, so either you're really just that slow or we just get out really early." Jacob smiled.
"Okay, so what are we doing today?"I asked. I tried to look cheerful; I was still upset about biology.
"Well I kind of forgot that I promised my friends that I'd do something with them after school. Then when I was leaving to get you Quil was all like 'So what time are you going to be at Embry's?' and then I said 'Why?' and then he said 'Jake you didn't really forget did you?' and I did, but I had already made plans with you so I said 'No, I just have to pick up one of my friends then I'll be there.' Then he said 'Okay see you then.'" He smiled.
"That's cool now I get to meet your friends." I said.
"Okay just whatever you do don't make fun of their names they'll tag team you." He laughed and it was pretty distinct that, that happened to him before.
"I promise I won't." I joined him in laughter.
"Especially Quil's girlfriend's, he'll get you for that."
"These sound like great friends Jake." I rolled my eyes.
"They are, just don't mess with their names. So did you make any friends?"
"Umm there's Samantha Jones and Jessica Stanley. Other then Jessica never being quiet they're really nice…" My voiced drifted off, I was about to tell him about Edward.
"Well that's nice Bella. Anything else?" Great now he knew I was hiding something.
"Sure, Jessica even asked if you cute, she saw me texting you at lunch."
"What did you say to that?"
"Nothing really." I laughed. Jacob raised his eyebrows pushing me to say more. "Oh well umm you know how you asked if everyone was treating me good?" Jacob's knuckles got white as he gripped the wheel tighter.
"What's his name?"
"Why d-do you think it's a he?" Jacob turned to face me then looked back at the road. "Edward." I wish I hadn't said anything…it would have been better; I didn't even know if I was his problem.
"What did he do to you Bella?"
"Nothing. It's just the way he looks at me, it's weird." The shiver returned as the image of his onyx eyes flashed in my head. Jacob sighed and shook his then pulled into a driveway I assumed was Embry's. Then my phone buzzed in my pocket.
"It's Charlie, hold on." I told Jacob. "Hello dad."
"Hey Bella how was school today? Make any friends?" he asked, it was quite evident that he hope I had.
"School was good, and yes I made friends. Jessica Stanley and Samantha Jones, do you know their parents?" No need to tell him about Edward, I didn't want to sink that boat again.
"Yah, those are some good kids. Billy called me today and said that you're doing something with Jacob. So I called you to let you know to have fun, I'm eating at Billy's so there's no need to rush home. Just come back by nine thirty."
"Okay dad, I'll see you when I get home."
"Bye Bella love you."
"Love you too dad, bye." I hung up my phone, and Jacob opened my door. I honestly didn't even see him get out, when did he? "Thanks."
"Yeah." He smiled at me then we walked to the door and some tall guy let us in.
"Finally made it I see. What bad traffic?" he asked, when he noticed me standing behind Jacob he looked me over and I blushed in response.
"Nah, Bella goes to Forks high, so I had to drive all the way there."Jacob said, and pointed at me. The guy at the door I noticed had short black hair and smaller brown eyes. He also has bushy eyebrows and a much defined jaw. "Oh yeah, Bella this is Embry."
"Hi." I said then looked away blushing.
"Shy much Bella?" Jacob whispered in my ear and Embry laughed. Then Jacob, Embry, and I all walked into the living room. On the couch was who I guessed was Quil. He looked kind of nerdy. He had a little bit longer hair then Embry and he had glasses. He sat next to a really pretty girl that must have been his girlfriend. She had shoulder length brown straight hair with side bags. She had Brown eyes and had a cream colored skin; I notice a lot of people had brown eyes and brown hair here.
"Bella that's Quil and his girlfriend Mikasa." Jacob pointed at them. Then Jacob and I sat on the other couch and Embry sat in the recliner. Quil was sitting straight up with his hand around Mikasa's waist, and Mikasa was leaning on him with her feet on the couch.
"Jacob does Mikasa go to the rez school?" I whispered to him.
"Yah, I know it's kind of weird. She looks like her mom; it's her dad that's the Quileute." He whispered back. He sat on the left side of the couch closest to Quill and I sat on the right leaning agents the wall. I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket from a text message.
Sam: Save me! I'm at a family reunion; there are so many old people! I laughed and replied.
Bella: Who has a family reunion on a Monday?
Sam: I have no idea.
Bella: I would help but I have no car: ( I laughed and put my phone away, that's must be why she asked what I was doing tonight. I slowly looked up from my phone and everyone was staring at me and I blushed.
"So who are you talking to that's more important than us?" Embry asked then laughed.
"I bet it's her boyfriend!" Quil said joining Embry in laughter, and Jacob looked at me noticeably curious himself.
"It's Sam." I said.
"Yep, boyfriend." Embry said.
"No, Sam's my friend and she's bored." I corrected them.
"Is she hot?" Embry asked.
"I don't know." I said.
"Figures." Embry said. I blushed for the fourth time that night. Quil and Mikasa began talking in their own world and Embry was ordering pizza for everyone. Then suddenly I didn't care that other people were around us, I felt awkward and I needed a warm shoulder to lean on. Jacob was still sitting straight up, and he was looking off at nothing so I slid over and put my head on his shoulder. He looked down at me and I looked up at him with big innocent eyes.
"Falling asleep again?" he asked.
"No, I'm cold and you're warm." I smiled and he laughed.
"Glad to help." He replied to me. I smiled and I heard Embry sit down.
"Awe common I feel left out." Embry said.
"Why?" Quil asked.
"Because I'm the only one without a girlfriend." He said and smiled then I saw Mikasa and Quil look at Jacob and me.
"Bella and I are just friends, so no you are not alone." Jacob said.
"Sure you are." Embry and Quil said at the same time, Jacob and I just sighed. I felt my phone go off in my pocket so I looked to see who it was.
Sam: So I went to the gas station to get a soda and guess who I saw.
Bella: Edward?
Sam: Yes, and I forgot my purse in my car and I was like "crap" but then he paid for me! I mean sure it was like a dollar but it was so cool.
Bella: That's nice.
Sam: I know Right?
Bella: Yeah, hey sorry phones dyeing I'll talk to you tomorrow. I put my phone away as it turned off. I closed my eyes wondering why Edward was nice to everyone except me and the next thing I knew Jacob was whispering in my ear.
"Bella I know you don't eat much but the pizza's here and I think Charlie would kill me if you didn't eat. Oh yah, you so did fall asleep." I could hear the smile in his voice and I opened my eyes.
"How long was I out?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes.
"Not long just about thirty minutes." He said to answer my question. I heard my stomach growl at me and I got up, only to fall back on the couch. Great now I was dizzy too, this time when I got up I held Jacob's hand. I got three pieces of pizza because I was really hungry however I didn't want to eat too much to make sure I didn't get sick.
"Bella do you feel okay? You look really pale even for you." Jacob said.
"I'm good; just hungry." I replied leaving out that I was dizzy.
"Yah three whole pieces that's a lot, you might gain a thousand pounds." He rolled his eyes.
"Ha-ha very funny." I said. Then out of nowhere my head stared spinning and got real heavy. In response I put my hand on my head.
"You sure you're okay Bells?" Jacob asked.
"Yah, Headache, it came out of nowhere." I smiled at him as I realized he called me Bella and he sighed. I finished my pizza and put away my plate. I sat back down and saw it was already seven thirty, Mikasa and Quil got up hand in hand.
"I have to get home see you guys tomorrow. Nice to meet you Bella." Mikasa said with a smile.
"Bye." Jacob, Embry, and I all said at the same time, and then I yawned. Once they left Embry got up and turned on the TV.
"It's getting too quiet." He explained. Jacob looked at me as I leaned on him again, this time it was because I was tired.
"Promise I won't sleep this time." I whispered to him. Jacob just smiled. We continued to watch TV and I did keep my promise. "Jacob I have to go sorry, Charlie has a thing about nine thirty." I told him.
"Well it looks like we're going, see you later Embry." Jacob said and we got up.
"Bye see you later, bye Bella." He replied. We walked out to Jacob's car and he helped me in.
"I wish I had car, it would be so nice." I said.
"You could have mine, I've wanted to get rid of it but no one will buy it." Jacob said.
"Really? Why do you want to sell it?" I asked.
"Because dad won't let me buy pieces for my car that I'm building until this one is gone." He explained.
"I'll buy it, how much do you want."
"I'll think about it. Cheep though." He smiled and got in the truck.
"Okay." We drove to Charlie's house with the music on low. I was still dizzy however. When I got out of the car I was very unstable, going all over the place as a result from the dizziness.
"Here I'll help you." Jacob got out of the car and helped me to the door. "Think you can make it from here?" I nodded and opened the door. I hugged Jacob goodbye and he said we would talk tomorrow. When I got inside Charlie was watching baseball in the living room.
"Hey Bella how was your night?" He asked being classic dad.
"Good, I'm going to bed I don't feel so good."
"Okay get some sleep and feel better." He said.
"Okay." I went upstairs and put on my sweatpants and an oversize t-shirt and went to bed.
