Chapter 3

My World

Isabella Pov:

I hated High School or maybe it was the people in it. Today the biggest gossip in school was about the new kids arriving tomorrow, word around town was that they arrived a week ago. The father is a doctor and the mother runs her own decorating business. They had five kids, but the youngest is going to school abroad. Sometimes I believe Jessica could work for the CIA, it was quite terrifying the way she kid stitch up information. Once Jessica was on a mission there is no stopping her.

Most would think because we live in a small town that things probably don't get to wild and the kids in this school are a little chaster. Its quite the opposite, and the majority have parents that are always traveling. I guess without much source of entertainment except the woods, or driving up to Port Angles. Kids usually throw really wild parties, and my dad comes home complaining all the time about finding teenagers in their cars. It's the typical high school hierarchy around here the popular kids are the athletes, cheerleaders, and anyone who is good looking can be on the popular train. I have always tried to stay away from the limelight, I always wish I can sort of blend into the walls if that's possible; sadly luck is not on my side I seem to always stand out.

I can say that almost every guy in this school has asked me on many occasions, and every cheerleader has at one time imagined my death. I've tried to make it clear over the years that I am not competition, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. Mike Newton was the captain and is known for having mostly all the girls who are deemed pretty in this school except my best friend Angela, the girls that have boyfriends, and those whose brain is still functioning. Angela is dating my other close friend in school Ben; they had always liked each other but to cowardly to admit it to each other. So I took it upon myself in Angela's seventeenth birthday to tell Ben that Angela really liked him, and for him to step up before someone else does. I did not expect him to go over to her in front of her father and literally stick his tongue down her throat, but Angela seemed quite happy about it. Going back to Mike Newton I believe he was put on this earth to make my life a living hell, he's determined to take me out on a real date as if I should be grateful for the good treatment. I've entertained the thought of him taking me out to dinner, but it would go a little different then his fantasy. While we are on the road I'll tell him to park the car in the side of the road, take him into the woods and I'll even give him a five minute head start before I chase him. That would be a great date maybe I should concede if the date plays out the way I imagine it; I bet he'll squeal like a little girl. I'll admit I've entertained this idea in my head a little more then I should.

I guess if I was to describe myself I am 5'4, brown hair with red highlights up to my waist, my eyes are a mixture of brown and hazel, my lips are a bit bigger the normal and are always red. I guess you can describe me as pretty by human standard. I naturally always have what looks like blush, maybe its do to the fact that I make sure I get my fill of iron once a month. Renee says I'm the most beautiful creature she's ever seen, but as my mom it's her job to boost my confidence.

When I was younger I discovered I can heal people, but I always wished I can become invisible or teleport like the movie Jumper. That would be so awesome, the possibilities would be endless.

At the precise moment I'm waiting on line to get my lunch I'm listening to the "popular boys" sitting on the table in corner, they are discussing whats better my butt or my chest. I'm pretty sure they just played the same game last week, they must be getting bored. The new kids are starting tomorrow so this will keep the kids busy, and Jessica should have their dental records no later then next week. Jessica is the kind of girl who is born to be popular in high school. Her best friends Lauren, Leslie, and Claire are even worst, they are not what you call gossipers but they are completely evil. With Jessica there is some good but those three are lions and high school is their kingdom like that movie Mean Girls. Their instincts don't really allow them to really mess with me; I guess they are unconsciously aware that I am a danger to them. "Bella! Right here," Angela yelled after I paid for my lunch. I headed over to the table. Angela was discussing going to watch a movie that Ben wanted to see. I wanted to update my library at home so I guess I can join them, but it's always weird being the third wheel. I guess I can ask Jacob or one of the boys to come with me. "Oww, what was that for?" "You spaced out again" "I was listening" "no, you weren't." I told Angela its better if she takes Mary, they could double date since Mary has been going out with Harris for two weeks.

Mary was always in the same grade as we were, but she had achieved what I had wanted to achieved since first grade being invisible. We really got acquainted with Mary in the end of last year, Angel and I found her crying in the girls restroom. We asked what happened, an hour later she had given me another reason to hate Mike Newton. It turns out that he was failing, so she was assigned by the Principal to be his tutor. He would go over her house after school, then he started to make her believe that he truly cares for. When he would see her in school he would act as if he doesn't know her, he told her that he was not ready to have their realtionship public. A month and a couple of incriminating pictures later he told her that he was just having some fun, and that he would put up the pictures of her for everyone to see. That night I ran to Mikes home and scaled up to his window. I erased all the pictures he had on his phone and computer. I discovered that he had fooled many girls, so I erased all the pictures he had.

Ever since then, Mary has been one of us, we got closer over the summer. It turns out she's an avid reader like myself. Angela, Ben, And I really enjoy her company.

...

Things have changed drastically on the reservation, there are now six wolves. They have discovered that many things that they believed to be legend are real such as imprinting. Jacob who always enjoyed having a different girl in his bed imprinted on Leah. Not that he ever told me, I always heard from everyone else; I had never seen Jake with a girl except Leah. Jacob and Leah always had an on and off relationship. When he turned seventeen two months ago Leah came back to the reservation after staying with her uncle for two years, and Jacob imprinted on Leah right away. Its kind of gruesome to be around, their always slobbering all over each other.

The Boys in the reservation have been patrolling over time now, I haven't talked to Jacob in a week but something is going on. I'm thinking of running to the reservation, but Billy called three days ago and told Charlie to make sure I stay out of the woods. Renee and Lillian are having a get together in Sue's house so I should go and hang with Leah. Leah always gives me the dirt on what's going on, while Jacob likes to act like he is my parent. After that day in the woods when he morphed into a wolf, I woke he was still trying to turn back, it took all day. When he finally became human again he was naked a sight I never want to see again, unfortunately with six of my friends as wolves I have had to see parts of them I could have lived my whole life in bliss not having to witness.

Thats besides the point, I'm actually looking forward for tomorrow, I feel like a change is coming. I wonder if I will ever meet anyone like me, there's probably plenty of people just like me. I cant wait to meet them in the future.
