I did the math okay on a great day when I hadn't been playing footy for about 2 hours I could do it in roughly 15 minutes but since I had been playing sports it was now more like 20 and the guys, if they were chasing me they could probably go faster, so I was screwed, I focused on breathing and running, I was so focused I didn't see or hear the car. It all happened so quickly I didn't know what hit me.
Literally.

Chap 3

"Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep" was all I heard, and it was pissing me off, I tried to stop the noise but I couldn't feel my arms.
Great.
Well I was either dreaming or I had started to get my hearing back and I was going with the second one.
"What will this do to her?" I heard someone say. What will what do to me? I thought to myself.
"Paul, I really don't know it may start the change or maybe she'll miss out on the gene and it's more likely that she's missed it, she is a female after all." Someone else said to Paul. WHAT CHANGE! I was screaming at them in my head, and what the hell does it matter if I'm a female, sexist much?
"I hope your right Sam, but because she got blood from you and Jake, I'm wondering if she'll be more affected, you guys are technically the alphas, so you do have the stronger genes." Paul stated towards Sam.
"Urgh." I managed to groan. I heard movement to the sides of my bed.
"Bells?" Paul said into my ear "Can you hear me sweetie?"
"No." I managed to say. The boys chuckled.
"I'll go get the doctor" I heard Sam say to Paul. I heard him leave before Paul spoke again.
"God Bella, manage to scare me much?" I opened my eyes slightly, I was in a hospital, the room was really bright, bright white, and the over head lights were shinning on my face, I closed my eyes.
"Sorry, Paul." I mumbled "What happened anyway?"
"Later sweetie, I'll tell you later." There was a pause. "The doctors here I'll let him check you over."
I nodded and felt him leave my side and someone else replaced him next to me.
"Ok, Isabella-" I cut him off there.
"It's Bella."
"Sorry my mistake, OK Bella, You weren't seriously hurt but you have 3 fractured ribs, a broken arm and fractured foot and leg and a concussion, but you lost a lot of blood so we had to give you a transfusion, luckily two of your friends were your blood type and we were able to use their blood right away. So I'm just going to check your vitals and your memory then the boys can come in and see you." The doctor checked my vitals and then started asking me random questions.
"Ok, So what's your mums name?"
"Renee."
"What was your first pets name?"
"Goldie, Do you have this on record or did Paul give you the answers?"
The doctor looked up at me. "Paul, Ok What was the first bone you broke and how?"
I sighed stupid Paul. "My left arm, because me and Paul were wrestling – I won- And I threw him into the coffee table but he managed to throw me into the wall."
"Okay I think that's enough, seems to me that your absolutely fine." The doctor offered me a smile then left.
I had to wait a couple of minutes before the door opened again and in shuffled the boys, Paul came in first and was at my bedside in seconds. I waited until the Boys all got comfortable around the room before I started talking.
"What happened, to me?" I asked my voice was quite, I sounded scared.
"Bells, when you were running home, you must not have been watching the road or something but you got hit by a car, when the boys caught up to you both the driver and the car were gone, but you were lying on the side of the room. God there was so much blood, the boys called the ambulance, then me. By the time I got there the ambulance was there also, they needed a blood transfusion stat. Isn't it luck I knew your blood type. Sam and Jacob were both your blood type so they drew blood from them and gave it to you. It saved your life, the doctors said that without that blood you would've have died." I looked at Paul he had tear tracks down his face, his eye were puffy and red, and he looked really tired, like he hadn't slept in a week.
"Paul, I'm fine now though, look at me, sure I'm covered in bandages and I've got a couple of broken bones, and I've got the boys blood in my veins, but I'm fine I will heal, don't look like that, you look like I died." Paul looked at me his face was heart-breaking. "Paul, what happened? I know something's wrong you don't look like that for nothing." I could feel my eyes prick, I was going to cry I knew it.
"Bells, I didn't want to be the one t- to t-tell y-you this b-bu-t y-your m-u-m-" he broke down into sobs. I couldn't handle it.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MOTHER? PAUL ANSWER ME! Please" tears were running down my face, I turned to the guys, all their heads were hung. "Sam? Jake? Jared? Someone please tell me."
Jacob looked at me his face was grim, he came and sat on the other side of me, he took my hand.
He took a deep breath. "Bella, your mother died, it was a hit and run, the police are looking for who did it, Phil's devastated, he's sending your things down here he wants you to live here. There's not going to be a funeral, but he said he will send the urn to you. He also said, if you want anything of hers it's all yours, she left you everything anyway." I just looked at him shocked, He's lying! I yelled at myself.
"NO! YOU'RE LYING GET AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed, he was lying they all were. "GET OUT!"
They all looked shocked but all left. Jake looked back at me, he face looked hurt. I glared. Paul stayed next to me. We cried until we both fell asleep.

1 month later

It's been one month since I almost died, and my mother did die. Phil sent all my stuff down, I was to live with Aunty Lina and Uncle Pete. I moved into the room that was my guest room. Paul and me kept to ourselves over the last month we barely saw the boys, we kept to ourselves, we barely even wrestled, we were almost normal. All my bones healed the doctor said I made an amazing recovery, my bones healed in record time, Paul had been with me then, he stiffened at this, I tried to ask him why but he wouldn't tell me.
School was starting soon, we we're all going to forks high school, which was half way between forks and the rez, but oh well they still called it the forks high school. (A/N I'm going to use the Australian system the American one confuses me .) Paul was starting year 12 while I was starting year 11, we had no uniform, and all we basically had to do it show up. The only problem I find in this is the school has a grand total of 453- now 454- students I was going to be the new kid.
Great.
It was Sunday and school started on Monday so I was looking through my closest choosing what I was going to wear tomorrow. We had to be at the school at nine. I already knew the subjects I was going to be taking. From when I was like 8 I wanted to be a vet so I applied myself to my studies and now I could do it, if I got into the right subjects this year. I knew physical education was compulsory, but it was a seventh subject that everyone took after school. So I could choose my six and then also have sport. Paul didn't know what I was choosing; I don't think he knew I was a brain. Chemistry, biology, math methods, math speciality, English and Year 12 accounting the subjects that were going to get me into a great college. English was compulsory, but a good choice because if I did well it would help me get into an Ivy League college. I sighed and looked at the clock. 10:05pm. that's almost late enough to be called and acceptable bedtime. I turned back towards my closet, I pulled out a pair of black skinny leg jeans, a grey top that said "BITE ME" and a purple hoodie that would go over the top, and it had a pattern from one hip that spread out all over the jacket. I sighed and got ready for bed.

6:45 am my alarm went off, I sighed after another night of nightmares, I was hoping that school would distract me from them. It was the same nightmare each night, me running away from a car near my old house, when I rounded the corner onto my street my mother was standing there out the front of our house, Just as I get to her though the car drives past and there are gun shots and my mother looks at me and says "I feel like I'm going to lose you." Then she collapses with blood starting to seep through her top. I wake up after that. Always crying and always drenched in sweat.
I sighed it was now 7am. Okay I thought to myself better go wake up Paul. So I woke up Paul which ended with his lamp broken and me and him pissed at each other. I stormed out of his room and jumped into my shower, I let the hot water calm me down. I tried not to use most of the hot water but hey Paul would get over it. I dried myself off and turned on my straightener so it could heat up. I got dressed and applied my makeup, light mascara and a bit of eyeliner, enough so it would make my eyes stand out but not enough so they looked like racoon eyes. By that time my straightener was ready to go. All 230 degrees of it. My hair was just below my shoulders, it had messy layers and a side fringe. After my mum died, I had fits of rage –which I still have by the way- and during one of these fits I got my hands on some scissors and cut my waist length hair to my shoulders. I hadn't done it very well so I had to go to the hair dressers and they fixed it without taking any length off. I straightened it in three layers making sure the first two were dead straight and the last I just ran over it with my hair brush. I looked good. I did a check of the time; I needed to have enough to eat breakfast. It was 8:15 and we had to leave and 8:45. I managed to eat breakfast, go brush my teeth, check and re-do makeup and hair and find my bag and everything I needed for the day and I still had a couple minutes until we had to leave. I went down to car –Yes Paul had successfully got his license a couple weeks ago, so as a present Aunty Lina and Uncle Pete bought him a truck, it was blue, and that's probably all I could tell you about it. I sat in the passenger's side while I waited for Paul to hurry his arse up and get us to school on time. I couldn't wait until I got my license, with the money that was left to me from mum and the money I still had left over from when my dad passed away I would be able to buy myself a decent car and a spectacular bike. I was trapped in my thoughts when Paul got in the car, mumbling about school. I chuckled shook my head and watched the scenery go past.

We got to school, it was just like it was back in Arizona. Red buildings that you dreaded, there was a car lot filled with cars and you could see kids milling around, waiting for friends. God how I hated school, Paul pulled the car up next to Sam's truck (A/N:Because I wanted him in high school he's in high school got a problem, bite me) I sighed and got out of the truck, and walked over to the guy with Paul.
"I still think that I should try out for the team- Paul!, Bells! How are you?" Seth said with a smile on his face, he was like a taller kid brother to me.
"Really, Seth? Stupid question there buddy." Jake said looking at Seth like he was an idiot, then at me like he was worried. I just raised an eyebrow at both of them.
"Boys, no I'm not fine, but I will show you resilience and nobody here will ever see me broken the way I was a couple of weeks ago." I said to the boys but more trying to convince myself that's what it should be like.
"Sure, sure bells." Jake rolled his eyes looking at me smirking then I saw it in his eyes an idea shit what's he got into his head now? I asked myself. "Hey bells, can I call you ballerina?" I looked at him as if he had two heads
"You wanna call me ballerina?"
"Yup" he nodded and made a popping noise at the p
I sighed, I had to think of a way to get him back if he was gonna call me ballerina I needed a great nickname for him. "Fine you can call me Ballerina if I can you Lamb." I grinned at him, he didn't get it, Paul did though.
"Okay? I guess so." Jake was so confused, I can't believed he agreed to it oh well. 'Come on ballerina, let's go get your schedule." I rolled my eyes
"Do we have to?" I whined. Jake laughed and put his arm round me pulling me along. The others followed. The boys were not morning people. Embry, Quil and Jared looked like they were dead on their feet and Leah – oh yeah I finally met her, bitch! She just ignored me completely. As we walked I notice a lot of eyes on me, or the fact that Jake had his arm around me. I ignored all the whispers and let Jake pull me along. When we reached the office Jake pushed me through the door and Paul followed. I walked up to the desk.
"Hi, My name's Isabella swan, I'm new here and I would like to pick up my schedule" I asked the office lady. She was pretty with long blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Oh ok, sure I'll just find it." She left the desk for a couple of minutes before returning with a pile of paperwork.
"okay dear, here's your schedule, I need you t get this signed by each of your teachers, then bring it back to me. Also I brought you a map-" I cut her off did she really think that I would need a map could see not see Paul or any of the guys I came here with.
"Uh, I don't think I'm gonna need a map, I've got my cousin and friends for that." She looked shocked.
"Uh, um alright sure. Well your locker will be straight down this hall so take a right and then you should be able to find the number." She handed me what I needed and I left Paul in tow.
I walked out of the office looking at my schedule when it disappeared from my hands.
"Whoa, bells you must be like really smart, to be taking all of these subjects!" Jacob exclaimed. I looked at him, and took my schedule back
"Yes Jacob, and yet you still continue to diminish my intelligence." I looked at my schedule again. I had English and bio blocked together, Methods and accounting and spec and chemistry blocked together... dam maths on every single day.
"Bells I never said you weren't smart but with all those subjects you've gotta be like a brain!"
"Jake, yet another thing that you will never understand, I have a much bigger brain then you, therefore I can take all my hard subjects and still not be stressed." He just glared at me.
"So, Bells what you taking anyway." Paul asked breaking the silence that formed as me and Jacob stared each other down.
"Um, English, biology, chemistry, Math methods, math specialist and yr 12 accounting." I said from memory, I looked around at the boys and all their faces where shocked.
"Dam, girl you really are a brain aren't you?" Seth yelled. I rolled my eyes and started walking towards where the office lady said my locker would be. Number 174 top locker. Shit. Sure the top locker was fine but not for my 5 foot 3 it wasn't I would have to jump to reach the top shelf, or I'd have to get the boys to reach the top shelve. Unfortunately the boys realised this and started teasing me.
"Ballerina looks a bit short for her locker." Jake said as he walked up talking like I wasn't there.
"Yes, looks like, you know what she'll probably try to get us to do all the work because we are that much taller than her." Seth said.
"Yeah, Yeah shut up boys. You'd help me anyway because you're scared if you didn't I'd kick your arses, and you know I can." I stated and raised my eyebrows daring them to disagree. They muttered and look at their feet. I started putting my books away and some of the guys said they'd catch me later and I heard them depart. Paul and Jake stayed with me I put all my books away then went to get my English book out when Paul told me that we had assembly so I sighed and chucked my books back into my locker and locked it I told the boys to lead the way. (because I'm lazy I'm not going to describe her classes.) By the time lunch came I was so happy to see my boys... my boys? When did I start calling them this... oh well I was so happy to just go sit with people I knew my classes were weird I didn't know anyone and they all stared. It pissed me off. I saw Jake at my locker, I smiled he was a cute one.
"Hey Lamb." I said as I walked to my locker
"Hey, Ballerina. What some help there?" Jake said taking my books out of my hands and putting them in my locker.
"Sure." He grinned down at me and closed my locker.
"Lets go eat I'm starving." He said as he pulled my in the direction that I assumed was the cafeteria I smirked and let him pull me along. When we walked into the cafeteria Jake pulled me over towards the boys and sat me down. "Stay, I'll get you food." I looked at him like he was weird, not that I was complaining but it was weird. I looked around the table, Jared, Seth and Sam were in a conversation about something. Jake and Paul were in line and Leah, Embry and Quil were no-where to be seen.
"Hey Bells." Jared called me out of my thoughts.
'Yeah Jar?" My new nickname for Jared I'd loved it.
"What do you reckon... who would win a Astronaut or a caveman?" the three boys looked at me, I looked back at them with surprise that's what they were talking so intently about?
"Um... I dunno, would they have weapons?" This should be a great lunch time conversation. I smiled as the boys thought about my question.
"Nah they wouldn't have weapons."
"Ok then, well the caveman has more violent tendencies and who probably be stronger, but not smarter. The astronaut who be fit and a lot smarter than the caveman but in his space suit he wouldn't be able to move very fast, meaning that the caveman who have the upper hand there. The Space suit on the other hand who provide some protection from attacks whereas the caveman has no protection but fur, The space suit could be turned against him by the caveman smashing the helmet which could kill the astronaut... so I'd say the caveman would win." I concluded the boys just stared at me.
"Hey Bells, what you do to the boys?" Paul said as he placed his food on the table to my left.
"Just explained that if a caveman and Astronaut were fighting, the caveman would win." I said as I stole the French fries off his tray.
"I see... So anyway, the boys decided we'd all go down to the beach tonight have a big bonfire, it's kind of a school thing so everyone will be there. You're gonna come right?" Jake said sitting on my right.
"Yeah sure, might as well do something fun before he homework kicks in." I shrugged.
"Yeah. It'll be really fun, last year Mike Newton ended up falling into the ocean... funny as!" Jake laughed. "Speak of the devil and he shall appear." He pointed to a blonde boy walking over to us. "Hello Mike, What can I do for you on this fine day?"
"Hello Jacob, I'm actually here to ask Isabella If she'd like to join me for lunch with my friends?"He moved his gaze to me and the boys went quiet, my smile slid from my face. Mikes smile faltered.
"Mike is it?" He nodded "Ah, Mike you almost had me, I would've gone with you ate lunch with you made friends with your friends, make some chicks jealous because I get your attention instead of you giving it to them. Except you made one fatal mistake when you asked that question. Any guesses for what that was?" I saw my boys trying to smother their laughter and smiles, Mike just looked confused.
"I didn't say please?" He asked. I sighed
"No my dear, you called me Isabella. I hate the name Isabella. My name is Bella. So no I'm sorry I won't be sitting with you at lunch but I will see you tonight at the bonfire." I sat back into my chair and waited for him to leave. He looked shocked, like he'd never been rejected before. Typical.
He eventually left and the boys returned to talking, I just thought, not really feeling like talking.
(a/n again skipping classes to the after school sport. I'm just lazy )
After finishing my classes I went back to the office to hand in note that had all my teachers signatures.
"Ok Thank you Bella, Now you know that we have sport after school, do you know what sport you want to do? We do Track, Team sports and Individual sports."
"I want to do track." She typed a few things into the computer then printed out a piece of paper.
"Can you get your cousin to take you to the track teacher?" I nodded and left the office to find Jacob waiting for me.
"You know, I'm beginning to think your stalking me." I remarked as I started walking out of the buildings.
"Oh but I am dear Ballerina."I Glanced up at Jake he just smirked down at me.
"So, what sport do you do?" I asked as we continued walking
"I do almost all but today I'm doing whatever your doing."
"Okay, well we're on track then."
"Ah, but I did track last week." Jake Whined being a complete idiot
"Oh Okay I see, that's pretty funny considering today's the first day of school." I just gave him a look, he smiled back.
"Ok, track it is, we'll see whose faster me, the complete buff one whose awesome and unbeatable, Or little petite clumsy you who is a lesser awesome then me." Jake ranted.
"Ok Jake let's make this a bet then. You win you get whatever you want within reason that I can give you, I win your my personal slave, and you'll do whatever I think of for as long as I keep winning races. Deal?" Jake nodded
"You're on." We approached the track coach, who nodded at us and sent us to stretch then told us to start with laps.
Jake and I started out with couple of laps of the track. After our warm up we decided to actually race we told the coach who cleared the track for us.
Our race was to 1500m Sam, Paul, Jared and Seth also joined us. This was gonna be fun.
The coach laughed at us, all these guys against little me. I think he thought I would lose. I knew I was faster than Paul.
The coach got out the starting gun, we all lined up I was inside lane. Yay head start for me. Not that I needed it I think the coach just felt sorry for me.
"Ready" Always
"Set" Let's go
"Go" I bounced off the blocks and headed straight into a fast paced jog, no were near flat out sprint. I could feel the boys creeping up behind me. There was no way they were winning, Running was my element, and nobody beats me. I feel at peace when I run, It's just so simple. One foot after the other and breathe.
We were up to the last lap I was still in the lead with Jacob close behind me. I was that tired I knew if I really needed too I could still pick up speed and bolt. Hey, Idea. I slowed my pace so Jacob could catch me. He nodded at me looking smug. Gullible much?
We were coming up the last corner; I let Jake pull in front of me before switching lanes to the outside of him. I let him pull about 5m in front of me. Before I began to really run, my stride lengthen and I caught Jake easily before changing from a run to a bolt, I flew past him and didn't stop until I crossed the line 15m ahead of him. When he finished he was looking at me with shock and reverence.
"Dam girl your fast." Seth said as he stopped after finishing.
"Thanks Sethy." I smiled and looked at Jake. "Now Jake I won so, I believe you are now my personal slave until you win a race." He grumbled and looked away. The coach came up to us a little while later as we were all mucking around, talking about how awesome I was.
"Bella, I would like you to join the track team, your skills are greatly needed." The coach look fevered like I was a must have.
"Okay, sure coach, I'd love too." He nodded at me and turned away.
"Okay well lets go home so we can get ready for tonight." Paul said as he gathered his stuff and mine.
"'Kay then." I waved "Bye boys."
"Bye Bells" was my chorus goodbye.
