I ran up to my truck and fumbled with my keys trying to get the right one for my ancient truck when I saw a flash of bronze streak past my head...
I screamed whirling round to see a fat squirrel sat streak off towards the fired around the side of the house, "stupid squirrel" I grumbled out loud. I took several deep calming breaths before returning to fumble with my keys. Backdoor, front door, ah car. I shoved the key into the rusty key hole of the old Chevy truck and slid inside flicking on the heater. I shivered as I turned the ignition and the car spluttered into life.
The drive to school was slow and laborious. There was a major traffic jam on the road leading out of our little village so it took 2 times longer then getting there should of done. When we arrived at the school I couldn't help marvel at its simple beauty. The main school building was old and covered in ivy, white wooden windows neatly laid out of in rows on the buildings face, the red bricks faded with age and the sear size of it made me want to cry. It looked exactly like a school should do. Old, big and very tidy.
Many students looked at me as I got out of the car and began to walk nervously towards the front of the school where many students were congregated obviously waiting for friends or chatting before heading to class. I muscled my way through them when I heard something that made my head shoot up and spin round stopping me dead in my tracks, "ye I heard she said she wanted to go with Edward Cullen" when the girl saw me looking at her she shot me a evil glance, flipped her hair and turned back to her friend. I shook my head and set back off down the hall. There are lots of people with that name I can't be him I'm just being paranoid.
At the end of the hall was a big very important looking door with the words 'headmaster' printed onto a thick gold plaque at the top and ' S. Brierly.' On a less important looking plaque underneath it. I swallowed my fear and knocked on the large oak door
"Come" a very commanding voice echoed through the door. I opened it to see a large circular office its walls covered in certificates and book shelves. There was a large wooden desk in the dead centre of the room with neatly organised papers, pens and other school related items stacked on top of it, " ah you must be Miss Swan please take a seat" his voice seamed as strong as his grip as he took my hand and shook it vigorously. I sat as requested on one of the small wooden chairs were naughty or over achieving kids usually sat,
"Yes I am" I forced a smile on my face. And he smiled back in return,
"I speak on behalf of all our staff at St Hopes as I welcome you with open arms to our school. Hear I have your timetabled" he handed me a small sheet of paper with a class list on it, "your map and a homework time table. Enjoy your first day at St Hopes"
"Thank you" I force smiled again, took his hand in firm handshake and turned to leave. 'Right' I thought, 'first period…science good something difficult to take my mind off things' I checked the little paper and saw that my biology room was right over the other side of the building. Great.
As I wandered through the hallways trying to keep my head low and ignore all of the gawping glances from the resident boys and the devil glances shooting at me from the envious eyes of the girls. When I finally reached my class room I opened the door and was met by a smell of something awful. It smelt like rust and metal. It was blood. They were doing blood typing today and I hadn't been informed, me being new and all. I just stood in the door way swaying slightly on my feat as a small blonde haired woman who I presumed was the teacher came over to me with a warm, but slightly worried look on her, face, "hello I'm Mrs Smith you must be Isabella swan nice to meet you" I didn't even feel well enough to correct her when I saw one girl prick her finger and the blood drip onto the file. I went green and began to sway more violently, "Are you okay Miss Swan would you like to be excused?" I nodded slowly fearing that if I opened my mouth something worse than words would come out, "okay well then just go to the First Aid room where I'm sure someone there will help you out" I turned smiled at the short woman and walked out of the stinking class room.
I ran as fast as my legs would allow towards the nearest door that led to the clean, fresh air that was outside. I passed classroom after classroom each filled with 'avid learners' and then hit the back door bursting through it. I gulped at the clean air trying to flush the smell of the blood from my nose. Argh I hate that smell. Huh Edward all ways laughed at me for saying I could smell it. Aw. The large hole in my chest that usually materialized every time I thought of 'those people' had returned with full force. Come on Bella stop thinking about them you know it will only be painful when you stop. I continued taking deep breaths and rubbing my aching chest as I turned my head and looked towards the car park when I saw a car. A very Familiar car. A very familiar Silver Volvo. My jaw fell open as I just stared at the car. 'No… can it be that girl did say Edwards'*wince*' name maybe… NO! Bella Stop it your just trying to convince your self. It's just a coincidence' my head was right I was just being paranoid. Again! I sighed and turned on my heal and began to make my way, no way back to class, but to the first aid room Miss had mentioned.
I began rummaging in my bag for the little White map. 'Where is it? Shoot did I drop it in the science room?' Bang! I collided with the cold hard chest of a tall muscular man…
