Chapter Five

The week went by quick and we were attending classes faster than we expected. I hadn't told anyone about the little storeroom incident, cause frankly it was embarrassing telling someone you'd just met, that you'd walked in on people having sex at your first official college party.

Alice and I were lucky enough to be in three classes together, Economics, History of World Civilisation, and American Literature. For the most part they were probably the best classes I took other than the Math ones, I really enjoyed Math. It just clicked, you could either be wrong or right, there was never an inbetween, and I liked that.

The work seems easy enough but I know it'll get harder as time goes on, I hope secretly that because I'm already into education I'll be fine and understand most things.

My only downfall was Science, Chemistry in particular. Everything else I was pretty good at, but when it comes to Chem, my brain turns into mush. So far it seemed okay, but out of everything that's what I was worried about, maybe I should think about getting a tutor?

Alice pulled me out of my thoughts as she pulled me up with her to walk out of American Lit.

"God that was so embarrasing, did you hear my stomach rumbling all lesson?"

"Nobody heard Alice, I couldn't even hear it."

I wasn't lying, I didn't hear it, but maybe the reason why I hadn't was because I was busy thinking over my education in my head. She gave me a look of doubt and went back to looking for something in her bag.

"I swear I had a granola bar in here somewhere."

"Its fine, we'll just go grab something now."

She gave up and swung her bag onto her shoulder and led the way to the college cafeteria.

We'd been here once before, but that was a fleeting visit. It was a big cafeteria with more than twenty square tables that consisted of around six to eight chairs round them.

Then there was five round tables at the back which had around six or seven chairs round them. These tables were obviously reserved for the more popular looking kids because one of the tables being used had Emmett, two of the guys from the party, Jasper and the bastard from the storeroom.

I quickly averted my eyes from the table and turned to walk towards the queue of the vending machines. Alice joined me and delved into conversation about how she underestimated how long it would take her to get ready this morning.

I glanced over at the table and tried not to laugh out loud. The guy from the store room was what you'd expect a greek God to look like. Emmett and Jasper? Also very good looking guys, who were nearly on the level of him. Even the other two guys were hot. All of them together on one table was weird to look at, it was like too much hotness at once, I could feel my brain go into overdrive. I cursed at myself, trying to collect my raging hormones and focus on Alice instead, but it was hard.

I could tell they were thriving off the attention they got. Every single girl in the cafeteria had there eyes locked on one of the guys, including me. The only girl who didn't was Alice and that was probably because she didn't even realise. I'm sure she'd be just like the rest of us if she knew Jasper sat within metres of us.

We got to the front of queue and decided on ham sandwiches, there wasn't much of a variety and we didn't want warm food. We still hadn't explored the campus properly so we didn't know about what food it did have to offer but for now this would have to do.

There weren't any free tables, for some odd reason the whole place was packed out, the majority of it with girls. Part of me knew that most girls were only sitting here because the hot popular guys were also here. I knew this because they were all desperately trying to get attention off them.

Fluttering their eyelashes, laughing a few pitches higher than usual, sticking their bare chests out. Oh and the obvious fact was that hardly any of them had food in front of them.

You'd think they would plan thoroughly instead of sitting there making it obvious to the world.

"I think his looking this way, oh my God give me some lipgloss Brianna."

I walked past one group of squealing girls, watching them with disgust, and followed Alice to sit down at a fairly free table. There was only two girls sitting down and they looked friendly enough.

"Hi, mind if we join you guys?"

I didn't think they would even try and say no to someone like Alice, she just seemed too nice to dissapoint.

"Sure, I'm Jessica, this is Angela."

"Alice, and this is Bella."

I muttered a hello and sat down next to the one she called Angela, opposite to Alice.

I realised what I had done wrong after I sat. I was in the perfect position to stare at him. Only I didn't want to stare at him, I didn't want to be like every other drooling girl here right now.

"I know right."

I snapped out of my trance and turned towards Angela, shit. She must've realised I was staring. Well there goes not being like every other girl.

I decided not answering would be better, that way we could speak about something else. Angela carried on speaking anyway.

"There all so perfect it hurts."

I hurried to open up my ham sandwich, not wanting to leave my mouth free to speak.

Jessica piped in then. This was great.

"You're talking about them aren't you, I'm not going to turn around, don't want to make it obvious."

"Right Jess because we haven't already made it obvious."

"Well that's not my fault, plus every girl on campus has made it obvious, like we're any different Ang."

"Who're you guys talking about?"

I was shocked Alice really hadn't realised Jasper and her brother were sitting in the cafeteria aswell. She looked over at me puzzlingly.

"Bella, who? You didn't tell me you had the hots for anyone."

I felt my face turn pink, I looked down at my food, chewing slower.

At that point blonde skank from the storeroom decided to walk in and the topic changed, for all of 10 seconds.

She had on a skimpy mini skirt that was an inch away from being what hookers wore. Her hair was down, curled, it looked stiff, no doubt doused in hairspray. Her face was plastered in makeup, as per usual.

"Here comes the tart."

"You guys know her?"

I didn't want to involve myself in their conversation but I figured it was better to speak about her than storeroom hottie. Plus, I wanted to know who this skank was, she obviously had a reputation if Jess was calling her a tart.

"Her names Tanya, she thinks she rules the college."

"Thinks?"

"She's that girl who sleeps round with everyone to try and become popular. She's nothing like the actual popular girls. Gosh, just look at her."

I took another bite of my sandwich, no more speaking for me.

"Skank or what?"

My words exactly.

I carried on eating, not wanting to look at her incase she recognized me from the other night. Awkward reunion or what?

"God she's all over him."

My eyes snapped up at once, there was only one guy she'd be all over. Sure enough, I was right.

She was sitting on his lap, straddling him, I couldn't see what he was doing because she was in the way.

No doubt he was sucking on her neck or something nasty like that.

"Bella are you ok?"

I looked up at Alice, her face full of worry.

"Huh? I'm fine."

Was I showing more than what I wanted too?

"Your food isn't, poor sandwich."

I looked over at Angela, and then down at what was left of my lunch.

I had absent-mindedly ripped my bread into little pieces, and I was still at it. I dropped the remains like they were hot coals.

"Wouldn't really call it a sandwich, it tasted like crap."

Angela looked over at me sympathetically.

"Yeah vending machine food sucks, there's some good places round campus you should try instead."

I opened my mouth to speak but shut it when both of the girls started to quietly squeal.

"Oh my God, they're coming over, oh my God, oh my God. OH MY GOD JESS. No don't turn around."

"WHAT? Over here? Why?"

I watched Jessica frantically trying to fix her already fine appearance and sat up in my seat. I tried to clear the food infront of me, I didn't want to make it look like I ate like an animal. I looked every way but his and focused on the open-mouthed girls around the cafeteria, they were watching the guys every move and obviously found it shocking as to why they were walking upto a table with just one beautiful girl.

Alice gave me a puzzled look and finally turned round, trying to see what all the fuss was about. She looked back at me with a look so confused, it looked nothing but cute on her.

"You guys were talking about them?"

None of us had a chance to reply because they were now standing right infront of our table. I looked over at Jess and Angela to see if they were still alive.

Angelas hands were shaking underneath the table, I could hear her breathing heavy next to me. Jessica was trying hard not to turn around and gawk, she was breathing in and out, like you do in yoga.

"Hey sis, you gonna introduce me to your friends?"

Wait what? Did store room hottie just call Alice sis?

A/N

How do you think Bellas going to react finding out Alice is the sister of storeroom hottie?
