Chapter 2
"Bella?" his voice came from near the door.
I let out small shallow breaths until I realized he was gone. I let out the breath I was holding and looked up to see a string dangling in front of me. I reached up and pulled down on it; a light went on. I looked around to find that I was in a storage room of some sort.
I turned to my left to see a small door. I opened it up and looked inside. It was almost empty. There was a small couch, a desk, and a chair. I looked around and smiled lightly. My room now.
I cleaned up some of the area before I leaving. The bell for second period had just rang. I stuck my head out to make sure no one was coming and quickly walked out of the room. I walked beside the small crowd and headed to my second period class.
I walked into my class and winced. There he was. Edward. He had the same class as this one. He was moving his legs a lot impatiently as if he was waiting for something or someone. Thankfully he was sitting at the front of the class and the door was near the end of the class.
I quickly walked to the back of the class and took a seat quietly. It was English class and I wasn't alone for this one.
"Awesome we have the same class!" Jessica said as she sat next to me.
I smiled at her but didn't say anything. She looked over to the front of the classroom, "Is it just me or does the teacher look strange to you?"
I looked up at the teacher. She had frizzy light brown hair and looked like she was picked on a lot in high school. You could definitely tell she was low in self-esteem. She was wearing granny clothes for crying out loud. "Sure looks like you can push her around," I commented back.
She smiled at me, "This class is gonna be so easy."
I smiled back her lightly and looked back to the front of the class. That's when I saw him. He was watching me. I couldn't tell if he looked mad or concerned. My smile slowly faded and I bit my lip and looked down at my folded hands on the table.
"Okay class I'm going to call your names now. Correct me if I pronounce your sir name wrong or of you prefer a nickname," yup definitely insecure.
She started calling names, I ignored her until she called Edward, "Edward Cullen," she called out.
"Here," he said lifting his hand up slightly in the air.
I looked up at him and caught him glancing back at me.
~flashback~
"This parties gonna be awesome!" Jessica said from the back seat.
Edward was in the driver's seat and I was in the passengers. The rest of the girls were in the backseat with Jessica. Edward looked away from the road and smiled at me. I smiled back. I was excited. I was with my friends and we were gonna go to a high schooler's party.
A car beeped its horn behind us. We all looked back to see who it was. We could hear guys screaming in happiness and excitement. I looked out the window before I stuck half my body out and yelled, "Woo Hoo!"
A guy popped out from the sunroof, "Yeah!" he yelled.
I smiled at him before getting back in the car and chatting with my friends again.
~End of Flashback~
I was doodling a drawing of hair woman. That's what I call her. She looked exactly like hair woman except in a bubble next to her there was a quote saying 'I am weird.' When she called my name I just raised my hand. Edward glanced back at me again before looking back at the board.
Third and fourth period passed by in a blur. Lunch came soon and I got my food with Angela, I had her for fourth, and we quickly went over to our friends at a table in the center of the cafeteria.
I sat down at the table silently and was about to eat my food when, "Squealer!" someone said from the table next to ours.
I winced and looked down at my food.
"Just ignore them Bella," Lauren said.
I clenched my jaw and took in a deep breath. My stomach churned. I looked up to see Edward walking towards our table. "I'll see you guys later," I said as I grabbed my tray and quickly started towards the doors.
That's when it happened. "Squealer! Squealer! Squealer!" the whole cafeteria was chanting it before they started pounding on the tables and yelled 'Oink! Oink! Oink!' over and over again. Well except for my friends…hopefully.
I ran towards the exit dumped my tray in the trash and quickly slammed the doors open and ran out of the cafeteria. I ran straight to the restrooms. I don't know why; it may have been because I was feeling queasy but queasy or not I went straight to the girl's restroom.
I got into a stall and sat on the closed toilet seat. I can still hear the chanting in my head. I grabbed the toilet paper and wiped at my eyes angrily. I was crying. I didn't want to cry. I didn't like to cry. Crying reminded me too much of it.
I put the toilet paper back with shaky fingers and brought my hands up to my face. I slid them up and tangled them up in my hair. I took in deep breaths and looked down at the ground.
This isn't happening. This can't be happening. I untangled my fingers from my hair and looked down at them in my lap. I was going to be the laughing stock of high school. Almost everyone knew me here as 'the squealer'. This was a name that would be carried with me until college.
No doubt about it. I clenched my jaw at the fact and glared at the door.
~Flashback~
I couldn't stop the sobs that were shaking through my body. I walked as quickly as I could into the house and dodged some people that were in my way.
"Has anyone seen the phone?!" I asked in a shaky voice. I looked around for the phone base, "Has anyone seen the phone?" I asked breathlessly.
There it was. The phone base. I went straight for it. I felt a deep chill go up my spine making me arch my back as I pressed the call button. I was breathing heavily as I tried to listen for it over all the loud talking.
I walked around until I finally heard it. I walked over to the open hallway and looked through some dirty clothes. I took the phone out with shaky fingers and quickly pressed 911.
I put the phone to my ear, my breathing getting heavier, and waited for them to answer.
"911 please state your emergency," a male voice asked.
I didn't know what to say. What exactly was my emergency? It already happened I'm I calling too late? Maybe I shouldn't have called.
He mumbled something and I hung up. I heard the sirens faster than I thought I would. I put the phone back and looked up to see Edward walking my way and fast.
"Edward," I was about to explain what happened when he shoved me.
I stumbled back and hit the counter behind me. I looked up at him surprised, "Are you nuts?!" he yelled at me. I breathed heavily and just looked at him in shock as everyone started running out of the place.
Edward had left already. He was mad at me but if he had let me explain. He would have understood. Or maybe he wouldn't have believed me.
I ran to the back of the house and to the side where the car was at. I pressed my back up against the wall. They couldn't see me. I was hidden in the dark.
"Wait where's Bella?!" Jessica asked.
Edward quickly put his seatbelt on and started the car, "I don't care!"
