First Day of School

BELLAPOV

I woke up, took my shower, and headed out to the truck Charlie bought me; he had already left for the day.

I drove to school, only slowing when I smelt the blood of the children. I felt like I needed to throw up, and, when I parked, I ran into the office, as fast as a human can run without raising suspicion, and ran into the nurse's room. I threw up. Of course. I walked back out into the office, getting a strange glance from the secretary.

"Hello, Dear. Are you alright?"

"Yeah, just a little carsick is all."

"Alright, what can I do for you?"

"I'm Bella Swan, I'm new here."

"Ah, I'm Ms. Cope. One moment please." She shuffled through some papers.

"Here you are darling. Just bring that slip back after school so I know you didn't cut any classes." She gave me a smile. I smiled back; it wasn't her fault her blood made me want to barf.

"Thank you." And I walked out.

I pulled into a spot right outside the cafeteria, I would guess, from the smell of blood and human food.

I hopped out, and was immediately met with several curious gazes. If I could have, I would have blushed.

I walked through the cafeteria doors and the entire room grew quiet. All I heard were pulses. I felt sick again.

"Hi. I'm Lauren. This is my school. You try to take it, and I'm gonna give you my full wrath, got it?" She said, with anger in her voice.

OH NO! A pathetic little human whom I could crush with my pinky, or even my telepathy! What ever shall I do! I shouted in my head.

"Oh, I wouldn't DREM of taking your school! Although, I really could do without your smell." Her blood is REALLY powerful, and right now, I very much would like to barf. Everyone started laughing, and Lauren burned bright red.

I noticed two four eyes specifically, two pairs of bright golden eyes. Carlisle's coven, I guessed. One was tall looking, with honey-blonde hair and finely toned muscles that were noticeable, even under his shirt, this one was Jasper, the emotion manipulator and feeler, no wonder he was giving me strange looks, I felt sick for seemingly no reason. I noticed a black-haired pixie-like girl sitting on his lap; Carlisle said this was Alice, so I presumed that Jasper was the honey-blonde haired one.

The other was built similar, but with Brownish-reddish hair, and looked a little shorter. And he was alone on one side of the table. This, I knew for sure, was Edward, the mind reader. He probably read Jasper's mind, and that explains HIS curious glance.

Across from Edward was a big, bulky black haired man (Emmett, the only other Cullen boy), and a drop-dead gorgeous sports-illustrated-model type girl with blonde hair and a very…curvy, body who was making out with him, shamelessly.

By now every one had looked away except for the Cullen's. Now all five pairs of eyes were on me, and I realized I was just standing there.

God, I hope I remembered my contacts today, otherwise, telepathy can't really get me out of this one. I thought to myself.

I walked right up to their table; I was NOT going to be ignored by the only other vampires in the Washington who don't kill humans for a meal. Every one turned to look at me.

"Hi. I'm Bella Swan. And you are?" I said, smiling.

"I'm Alice! We are going to be best friends! I just know it!" Ah! Yes! The psychic! She hopped up and gave me a hug.

"Uh, hi. I think." I said, secretly happy she saw we would be friends.

"Please don't tell them?" I asked her, so just she could hear. She knew I was asking her not to tell the Cullen's that I was a vampire.

"I won't!" she said, perkily, also letting go.

"I'm Emmett!" Emmett boomed, I have to admit. I knew it was coming and it still startled me. He gave me a bone crushing hug.

"Emmett…I…need…air" I gasped out, even though I didn't. He let go. I could still make him THINK I was human, because my heart still worked. Don't know why, but it did.

"Sorry." He mumbled.

"It's okay." I faked being out of breath.

"I'm Edward." He said, a little hesitant… and, did I hear a hint of confusion?

Jasper raised an eyebrow at him; Yep. Confusion.

"I don't think I want to know…" I mumbled, for their benefit. They all turned to me.

"What?" I asked, faking surprise.

"Nothing. I'm Jasper, by the way. And, that's Rosalie. Don't take this the wrong way, but, not many people come and talk to us, let alone on their first day, um, why did you come over here?" he asked me, genuine curiosity in his voice.

"I don't know! Well, I mean, I met Carlisle the other day, and he said that you guys were pretty much the only teenagers in town who didn't complain non-stop about school, and I asked him why, and he said to ask you guys." I said, with enthusiasm.

"Um, well, I guess it's because we don't really have anything else to do during the school days, and after a while, sitting at home gets pretty boring." Edward answered, and all the Cullen's laughed quietly. I had to hide a smile because I knew what they meant. Hiding a smile at an inside vampire joke is really hard.

I suddenly felt calm. I felt the need to glare at Jasper, but I settled for motioning with my eyes for Alice to do so. She caught on. I had to hold back a smile, yet again.

Then the bell rang.

"Well, Bella, what is your schedule?" Alice asked me. I handed her my schedule.

"Oh, lets see, you have second and third period with me, sorry, you don't have any of us with you first period, you have 1st lunch with Me, Edward, and Jasper, and you have fo-" She was cut off by Edward.

"That's enough, Alice. No need to overload the poor girl." He handed me my schedule.

"Thanks, but, you know that this girl ain't gonna take ant of that kind-a stuff? She's gonna kill you." I murmured, fully aware he heard it. His smile faded. She probably showed him a vision he didn't like too much. I muffled my laughter with my hand. No one acknowledged it.

"Alice, dearest sister of mine, you wouldn't, would you?" he asked, a little scared. She just stuck up her nose, and kept on walking.

"Yep, she would." I added perkily. Alice showed me to my first class, and said she'd be out here when I left. I didn't doubt that she could get across campus in 2 seconds flat. Somehow, I don't think this school will be as bland as the one in Phoenix.
