Okay I know I'm rambling again. Well R&R
Chapter 3
If it were possible my cheeks became even more red, as everyone was staring at me at this point.
Stupid games teachers come up with to "introduce" yourself.
Stupid Mr. Mason for calling on me.
Stupid Eric Yorkie for talking to me in the middle of class.
Stupid me for responding to him.
I could already tell I was going to have my work cut out for me to get by unnoticed.
I was getting attention that I never got back in Forks from boys. I was always the awkward one back home which led boys to just stay away. Why couldn't they do the same here?
"Ms. Swan?"
"Um..I'm Bella Swan...uh I just moved here from Phoenix," I mumbled looking down the whole time.
"Well Bella what do you like to do for fun?"
"I like to read and listen to music," still not looking up.
"Thank you Ms. Swan. Mr. Yorkie how about you go next since I am pretty sure Bella wasn't talking to herself back there."
"No problem Mr. M. As everyone knows I am Eric Yorkie. I am on the newspaper and yearbook staff. I know every bit of scandal that goes on here at Forks-" I rolled my eyes at this. Scandal in Forks? "- I am the brilliant reporter who last year discovered the real reason behind Ms. Barnes being late for class all the time. Lets just say there's a reason why she taught chem-"
"That's enough Mr. Yorkie," Mr. Mason cut him off, speaking loudly over the laughs of the class. "Okay settle down now class. How about Ms. Cullen, you go next."
The small pixie like girl smiled wide and started to speak with enthusiasm, "My name is Alice Cullen. I have lived in Forks for 5 years now. I was adopted by my parents when I was seven. I have 2 brothers who were also adopted. They are 2 of my bestest friends as well. Oh! And speaking of best friends this is Rosalie Hale next to me who is my bestest girl-friend! And her brother Jasper Hale is my boyfriend!"
Wow. Did she just say that all with one breath?
Mr. Mason looked a little shocked at this burst of energy from such a small person.
He quickly recovered and began, "Wow thank yo-"
"O I also love to shop!" the hyper pixie added, "I'm slightly obsessed! And I love to meet new people, but I think I might scare some people away. I don't understand why though-"
"Okay Ms. Cullen. I think that's good enough description for right now." Mr. Mason cut in again. He looked a little nervous as he turned to the girl Alice called Rosalie. "Since Alice already introduced you, why don't you finish telling us about yourself Ms. Hale."
There was a hint of fear in his eyes. Afraid that Rosalie will be just as hyper.
The girl stood up obviously enjoying being the center of things. She resembled a super model. Rosalie was tall with a body made for the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Yea I don't think I would mind being the center of attention if I looked half that amazing. My self esteem just took a hit.
"Well my name is Rosalie Hale and I have also lived in Forks for 5 years. Alice Cullen is my best friend. Her brother Emmet Cullen, not Edward, is my boyfriend. Jasper Hale is my twin brother. And um that's pretty much is it. I also enjoy shopping," she finished speaking and sat down.
With a relieved look on his face Mr. Mason spoke, "Thank you Ms. Hale. Now how about Ms. Kennedy, you can go next." (A/N: I know not actual character. Just made up for this story, she's not a major character.)
This went on for the rest of class. Student introducing themselves. I was relieved to see I was not the only one who did not like the attention.
A girl named Jessica, who was telling us her life story, was cut off when the bell rang.
Once it did I quickly attempted to gather up my belongings to only drop them in my rush.
This gave Mike the opportunity to spring into action and attempt to help me.
There was only a pencil left to be picked up at this point though and I could easily get it myself.
"Mike I got-" I started to say as I bent down to pick it up. Too bad he was already bending down to get it and his head collided with mine.
I felt the instant pain that had my head throbbing. I started rubbing my head as I tried to stand up.
To makes matters worse. He tried standing back up the same time I did.
The force of his head colliding with mine again, when he attempted to stand, sent me backwards into the desk.
My head was spinning from the double collisions that it took me a moment notice several things that were going on:
1. The pain in my back from where it hit the corner of the desk. (yea I will be feeling that later)
2. The second period English class had already arrived. Great I had an audience.
3. Mike Newton running out of the room to warn the nurse what happened. I guess he was okay. I wanted to change that.
If I could get up, he'd be running for other reasons.
4. Someone to my left or was it right was trying to get me to lay down. I didn't go down without a struggle and complaints that I was fine.
I hated people fussing over me.
5. On the other side I heard it. The most amazing sound. A velvety voice was telling me lay back and that I would be okay. An angel was trying to sooth me.
Was I going to die?
Is that why I had been sent an angel?
But the angel had said I was going to be okay. I decided to be obedient and lay my head back.
I then registered the feeling of flying.
I was being carried.
My Angel. My Angel. My Angel.
And then the next thing I knew everything went black.
I opened my eyes to bright lights. I wasn't a hundred percent sure of where I was or how long I had been out, but I was sure of 4 things:
1. My head was pounding because it hurt so bad. Which led me to believe that-
2. I was not dead. I was in too much pain for that.
3. I was going to kill Mike Newton if he ever tried to help me again.
4. I had been saved by an angel.
Angel?
I sat up real fast.
Too fast.
I swayed backwards and fell back onto the pillow. Before falling back I was able to register that I was in the school's nurse's office
My relief to not being in the hospital was brief. I was not alone.
The small room was actually quite crowded. I glanced around at several faces staring at me: Alice Cullen, Rosalie Hale, Mike Newton (who I grimaced at), Jessica Stanley, a woman in a nurse's scrub top- who I assumed was the nurse-, and a face I did not recognize.
I do not think I would have forgotten this emerald-green eyed stranger.
He had a bronze colored, tousled hair. His skin was also a pale color.
One word could describe him. Beautiful.
I realized that I was staring at the emerald eyed boy longer than I did for anyone else.
And he was staring back. He didn't even break his gaze once he noticed that I was staring at him, like everyone else did.
I quickly turned my head away, feeling the blush creep into my cheeks, and looked at the nurse.
"Um.."
The nurse looks at me concerned, "Dear are you okay? Do you know who you are? Do you know where you are?"
"Uh- yea. I'm Bella and I'm and in Forks High School," stupid, stupid stuttering. I glanced around the room feeling intimidated by all the people that were there.
"Oh of course," she looks at me understanding. Then turns to the rest of the room, "It's probably a little overwhelming to have so many people in here. One of you can stay, but the rest of you need to get back to class."
"Oh I will stay with her!!" a low whisper of excitement came from Alice's direction.
I wasn't sure I wanted someone staying with me, let alone someone so bubbly, but before I could object Mike started his plea.
"Bella this is all my fault, I am so sorry!"
"Uh- It's okay Mike, it was an accident, you were trying to be nice," I assured him.
"Hey let me make it up to you. I can sta-" he stopped talking once he noticed the glare I shot him.
I wasn't trying to be mean, but this kid can't take a hint.
"I appreciate it Mike, but Alice is going to stay with me."
With that everyone started to file out of the room except the hyper pixie, the nurse, and myself.
I took one more look at the emerald eyed boy as he was leaving.
He turned to take one more glance in the room as he was leaving.
One more glance at me.
His eyes held concern in them as he nodded his head once, smiled weakly and left.
It was not until he left that I realized I had not been breathing. I took a deep breath, but yet I still felt like I was missing something.
After evaluating me, and asking me questions to check my mental orientation, the nurse left me with the instructions to sit here for 15 more minutes and then i could go if I felt okay. Also to come back if I felt dizzy or faint throughout the day.
Once she left I turned to Alice, "You know you don't have to stay with me."
"I know! I just wanted to get to know you better," she exclaimed.
"Well there really isn't much to me. Honestly."
"I think your wrong about that, " she said softly.
Her tone took me by surprise. It took me a minute to start to respond to what she had just said.
"Real-"
"It's not wise to bet against me. I am always right," returning to her bubbly self. "Besides if I left you won't get to hear what you missed while you were out."
So what did you think?
I was nervous about this one.
I didn't want to disappoint with the emerald eyed boy's entrance into the story.
How did I do? Be honest.
Please Review!!
BTW the whole double head collision thing over a pencil and banging into a desk, it sucks. Yea it's happened to me. Except I didn't black out. That would have sucked.
Don't forget to share your Bella experiences with me.
