Hell, make some room. Here comes Alex...

We pulled into the student parking lot of Astoria High School. It was raining so Rosalie had to put the top of the convertible up. I took a deep breath and looked out the window. Girls were laughing and giving each other hugs. Guys were high-fiving and clapping others on the back.
Three girls were walking up to the front steps. The one girl in the lead of the three was almost as pretty as Alice.
Almost.
I didn't notice my leg was bouncing until Alice put her hand on it.
"You'll be fine," she reassured me.
Rosalie parked next to Emmett's Jeep and herself, Bella, Alice, and I stepped out of the convertible. The guys were already standing outside of the Jeep.
"Let's take this school by storm," Alice said, nudging me.
Edward grabbed Bella's hand and started walking towards the front doors. Bella looked almost as nervous as I did. I guess this was her first time back to school and with all of these humans around...
As the rest of us walked towards the front doors, many kids watched as we past. Many girls stared in awe at Rosalie and Alice or looked longingly at Emmett and Jasper. Alice grabbed Jasper's hand and Emmett grabbed Rosalie's. Many girls glared when they saw this. I chuckled to myself.
I fingered the beads of my necklaces and looked around at other girls. My necklaces probably cost more then some of these peoples' entire outfits. Maybe a few outfits combined. Of course, my locket was around my neck and my iPhone was in my backpack. I didn't bring my camera or my ruby ring because I didn't want to lose them. Not that I wanted to lose my locket or my iPhone, but the ruby ring was EXTREMELY valuable. I also didn't need to take pictures of my school.
We walked up the front steps and opened the doors. It was very noisy in the hallways, with kids chatting and going to their lockers. I could see the doors to the cafeteria down the hall. At least I knew where one of the rooms were.
Alice tapped me on the shoulder. "The bell is going to ring in a few minutes," she said. "Let's head to math."
I pulled out my schedule and I had Geometry in room 105 with Mr. Evans. Alice kissed Jasper goodbye and we headed off.
When Alice and I got to room 105, we grabbed desks in the back. Not many people had gotten to the room yet because the bell hadn't rung, so there were many empty seats. A minute later, the bell rang as Alice said it would. I looked over at the clock over the door. The bell for first period rang at 7:25.
Students started filling in the door. I noticed the pretty girl from this morning. She was followed by one of the girls that was with her this morning also and two guys. They looked like stereotypical jocks: good looks, tall, and muscular. Of course, I didn't find them attractive. I had Parker.
Mr. Evans walked into the classroom. He was an older teacher and by looking at his very plain outfit and facial disposition, I could tell this was going to be a very boring class.
Great. Just what I needed in the morning to wake me up.
"Hello everyone and welcome to Geometry. My name is Mr. Evans and I will be your teacher," he began in a monotone voice. "Let's start with attendance."
He picked up a list off of his desk and placed it on his clipboard.
"Macey Arnold," he said. A girl with brown, chin length hair in front of me raised her hand.
He called out a few names until he reached me.
"Alexandra Cullen," he said.
"I go by Alex," I replied, raising my hand.
Mr. Evans nodded once. "Alice Cullen."
Alice raised her hand and gave a dazzling smile.
The pretty girl whispered something into the ear of the boy next to her and he chuckled.
"Iris Cyril," Mr. Evans called out. She raised her hand. So her name was Iris...
"Kirk Dariah."
The boy next to Iris raised his hand.
"Skye Delmar."
Iris's little clone raised her hand as she looked at her nails.
"Chase Dwight."
The boy next to Skye raised his hand.
Mr. Evans called the rest of the names in the class and passed out a class syllabus, which explained expected classroom behaviors, materials we would need for this class, and some of the topics we would be learning this year.
Like everyone else, I didn't pay any attention to Mr. Evans who was reading the syllabus word by word.
"This is one of the times where I wish I could sleep," Alice whispered in my ear. I giggled.
Finally, after an agonizing and extremely boring fifty minutes, the bell rang at 8:15. Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
-oOo-
After my morning classes, it was finally lunch time. I stopped at my locker, put away my books and backpack, and grabbed my lunch money. Luckily my locker wasn't very far from the cafeteria so I didn't have that long of a distance to walk.
I entered the cafeteria and headed for the lunch line. Iris Cyril, Skye Delmar, and Iris's other minion were in front of me. I grabbed a yummy looking piece of pizza and a bottle of apple juice and placed them on my tray.
"Ginger, grab me some of the low-fat French dressing," Iris said to the other girl.
Iris, Skye, and Ginger all grabbed garden salads and bottles of water. That was all.
Iris looked at my tray with a disgusted look. "Trying to pack on some pounds?" she sneered. Skye and Ginger giggled then the three of them walked to their lunch table.
I looked down at my tray. The piece of pizza didn't look so appetizing anymore. I traded the slice for a garden salad and grabbed some ranch dressing.
When I scanned the room, I saw my family sitting at a table by a large window. Thank god they all had this lunch shift.
I could see that it was pouring down rain outside, perfect for the vamps but not for everyone else.
Alice smiled when I walked up to the table and gestured for me to sit next to her. There was one spot left at the table after I sat down which would be Parker's spot.
Right next to me.
Everyone had trays in front of them with their food props. It was real food but since they didn't eat human food it sat on the trays, untouched.
"So, you're morning has gone well?" Alice asked.
"Like you even need to ask," I joked. I picked up my fork and poked a cucumber in my salad. I hate cucumbers...
"Don't listen to those girls, Alex," Edward said.
Ugh. I love Edward, but sometimes it's really annoying when he reads my thoughts.
"What girls? What did they say?" Rosalie asked.
I blushed. I really didn't want to be interrogated about this.
"Nothing. It's not important," I muttered.
Rosalie was about to say something else until Emmett put up his hand to shush her. She glared at him then looked down at her tray.
There was an awkward silence until Bella said, "So, Alex, do you like your photography class?"
I smiled. I had decided to take Photography as one of my electives because I had gotten my new camera which made me want to learn more about photography.
"I like it so far," I said. "The teacher seems pretty cool."
"Do we need to buy you a special camera for the class?" Alice asked.
I laughed. Figures Alice would be the one ask that.
"No, they have cameras that we use in class. They're already hooked up software-wise with the computers in the classroom so the teacher wants us to use them," I said.
She nodded and then the bell rang. I groaned. Why did lunch have to go by so fast?
I said my goodbyes and headed off to my next class.

Aww, school doesn't seem like hell...
Yet.
