Chapter Three
Biology class

In my Biology class that day, there were no other empty seats except from the one that was next to Edward Cullen, so that meant I had to sit next to Edward Cullen. Why did I have to be in this Biology class? I was so stupid!

"Excuse me, you can't drink in a science lab," said the teacher. He said this because I was drinking a can of Diet Coke as I walked in.

"Oh, sorry," I said. I took the last gulp of the Diet Coke I was drinking and then threw it in the bin and went to my seat.

"Hi Edward," I said tentatively as I sat down next to him in my new seat for Biology class.

He glared at me and a horrified expression spread across his face. Why was he looking at me like that? What had I done wrong? "How are you?"

He glared at me again. Why was he glaring at me? I hadn't done anything wrong!

We got on with our work in silence and I couldn't figure out why he was angry at me when we hadn't even met. This made me really upset. All lesson I kept on trying to talk to him but he kept on ignoring me and it made me really upset.

At the end of the lesson Mike appeared by my side like a Labrador. I didn't know how he did this because he wasn't even in my class! He really was a Labrador!

"Oh, hi Mike," I said, rolling my eyes.

"Hey, Bella," he said with a smiling face. "I just came to make sure that you were getting on okay on your first day."

"I'm fine, Mike," I said, getting a bit irritated. "Why are you in my class?"

"To help you carry your books, Bella. We have Gym together next, Bella."

"Okay, Mike," I said, and he picked up my books.

I was really annoyed because while I was talking to Mike, Edward Cullen had left his seat and walked off! Now I would never get a chance to ask him why he was acting so weird. Mike and I started walking to our next lesson together. Our next lesson was Gym and we had it together.

"So, I see you were talking to Edward Cullen. Are you guys friends?" Mike asked ever so innocently as we walked to Gym.

"No, he wasn't talking to me," I said a bit sadly. "I don't know why. What is his problem?"

Mike thought about this for a moment. "Well, what did you have for lunch?"

I frowned. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Well, Edward Cullen's kind of a health freak. Did you eat meat or anything unhealthy for your lunch?"

I thought back. "But I only ate vegetables!" I protested. Should I have eaten something else? Oh, why had I eaten vegetables? I was so stupid!

"Oh... he likes vegetables," said Mike. "I don't know why he doesn't like you then."

I thought a bit longer. Then I realised! I had been drinking a can of Diet Coke can when I walked into Biology earlier! Is that why he hated me? Should I have been drinking distilled pure water instead? I was so stupid!

In Gym I made a fool of myself all of the time. I got hit in the face with the ball a lot and occasionally I tripped over because I was stupid.

One time I tripped over really hard on my face! But it was okay because Mike, Eric and Tyler all came and helped me up. Ugh, I thought. If Mike was a Labrador, Eric was a spaniel and Tyler was a Chihuahua. Thinking of them all as different kinds of dogs made it easier to be around them without strangling them.

"Are you okay, Bella?" asked Eric. He looked really worried.

"I'm fine. I'm just clumsy," I said, brushing myself off.

After what had been a very hard and stressful first day of my new high school, I went to the car park. I unlocked my truck and then opened the door of my truck and then climbed in the front seat of my truck.

As I started the ignition of my truck and started to drive my truck away, I saw Edward Cullen looking at me. He had one of those hippie vans from the sixties with hearts and peace signs painted all over it. Also now that his jacket was undone I saw that he was wearing a Greenpeace t-shirt! That was so cool that he cared about animals and the environment! But I was also a bit sad that he had been angry at me earlier. Maybe I should apologise for drinking Diet Coke? I made a vow to myself to only drink distilled water tomorrow!

I drove off in my truck and drove my truck home. When I parked my truck in the driveway, I turned off the ignition and got out of my truck. I walked into the house. Charlie wasn't home yet, thankfully. This was good because he was a vampire.

I made myself some cereal and went up to my room to get started on my homework. I had a lot of homework that day! I had to write an essay on Wuthering Heights which was good because I had just read Wuthering Heights for fun the other day anyway. After I had ate the cereal and wrote the essay, I turned on the internet and decided to do some more research about vampires. Because the internet was so slow, I had to get some more cereal to eat while I was waiting first. I should have turned the internet on earlier and written my essay while I was waiting! I was so stupid!

After the internet was working I searched more about vampires. I got lots of pop ups so I just closed them all so I didn't get a nasty virus that would slow my internet down even more. One website suggested that if you thought your dad was a vampire then you should get a wooden stake and stab it in his heart! Others said you should just keep lots of garlic around you for protection. One website even said that if you thought your dad was a vampire then you should call the police!

I thought that was the best option because it wouldn't involve me killing my dad. He may have been a vampire but he was still my dad and I still loved him. So I called the police.

"Hello, Forks police station, Charlie Swan speaking, how can I help you?"

Oh no! It was my dad! I was so busy worrying about him being a vampire that I had forgotten that he was a police officer too! I was so stupid! But I couldn't hang up now.

"Um, hi Charlie, it's Bella," I said stupidly.

"Oh, hello, Bella," said Charlie. "Why are you calling me at work? Is everything okay?"

"Yes, thanks, Charlie," I said. "Everything is fine. I just wondered... what you wanted for dinner tonight."

Phew, that was quick thinking on my part!

"Oh, don't worry about me, Bella," he said. "I can make my own dinner."

Then he laughed evilly and hung up the phone.

Oh dear. Did that mean he was going to eat another deer? Or worse... a badger?

I was so worried that I had to take some children's cough medicine to get to sleep. I tossed and turned all night long and desperately prayed for this day to be over so that I could get out of here. I didn't like being at home because Charlie was a vampire.

My life was such a mess! Edward Cullen hated me, Mike was such a Labrador and Charlie was a vampire! Would nothing in my life ever be normal?
