Chapter Two: Forks High
I woke up three seconds before my alarm clock went off. I hit the button just as it started ringing. This is what happens every morning. I skipped into the bathroom before Claire could run in there.
I showered and dressed. I let my hair loose today. My bangs fell over my forehead. They nearly reached my eyebrows. Hmm, I would need a trim soon.
I focused on the future, in time to see mom was making eggs and beacon. They would be ready in two minutes. I grabbed my new backpack and skipped downstairs. I grabbed a plate and sang, "Good morning, mom".
She laughed and said, "I don't understand how you can be so perky, so early in the morning". I giggled and shrugged. Before mom could ask where Claire was I said, "Claire is in the bathroom now, she'll be downstairs in two minutes and fifty-five seconds. Isn't it fun having a psychic daughter".
Mom rolled her eyes and put some eggs and beacon on my plate, "well, it's interesting".
Just as I predicted, Claire came downstairs and grabbed a piece of beacon from my plate.
"Come on kids, you don't want to be late for your first day of school," my mom said grabbing her keys and guiding us out the door. I could already see what my schedule was going to be and where each classroom was going to be. But I could also see me being to center of attention and gossip for a few days as well.
When we reached the school, mom let us out at the main door. I skipped inside, while Claire followed slowly. She was never a morning person. This morning I watched her break her fifth alarm clock by throwing it to the floor.
I came to a graceful stop by the office and said, "Hello, I'm Juliet Monroe and the slow poke behind me is Claire. We'd like our schedules please. I was basically just getting the form we needed filled out by our teachers. I didn't need a map or a schedule.
When she handed me my papers, I immediately folded them and put the in my pocket. Claire rolled her eyes and said, "Can you at least pretend you don't already know where you're going?" I shrugged and said, "I'll see what I can do".
Claire was senior, and I was a junior.
I walked towards my first class, English. I could already see that today's lesson would be notes so I sat at my desk and opened my binder to a clean piece of paper. I stood up and waited by Mr. Point's desk.
He was an elderly man, with a balding head. He signed my paper and introduced me to the class.
I went back to my desk and sat down. A boy with blonde greasy hair and a baby face walked into the classroom. He was going to sit with a girl in back but when he saw me his decision changed. He decided to sit beside me.
I could already see his name was Mike Newton and he was a complete and total Mama's Boy.
"Why hello, I don't believe we've met. I'm Mike, what's your name?" he said. I had a quick two second vision and knew how to handle this.
"My name is Juliet and no, you cannot be my Romeo," I said quickly. His jaw fell and he said, "How d-did you know I was going to say that?" I rolled my eyes and said, "Every boy I meet says that line when I tell them my name". Did I mention I am a good liar?
That's pretty much how the rest of the morning went. I'd sit down, get a new teacher to sign my paper and take a new pick up line from another hormonal teenage boy. At lunch time, I found my way to the cafeteria and sat down with my new fan club. Which were just Mike, Eric York, Tyler, Even Pointer and Jeffery.
I looked across the cafeteria and saw five beautiful people. They were each very pale, with stunning gold eyes. I put my head down on the table and had a quick vision.
They were the Cullens'. I pulled my head up. The tow blondes were Rosalie and Jasper. The big bulky one was Emmett, the tiny one was Alice and the bronze haired boy was Edward (who was also in my biology class right after lunch). He was the more gorgeous of them. Okay, they were all gods and goddesses from up above but Edward was a Greek god from my own personal heaven.
The bell was going to ring in one minute so I stood up, dumped my empty garbage and walked out of the cafeteria, after winking at Edward.
