Chapter 3
The first half of my day hasn't been so bad. I met some cool people, although Jessica's a bit of a gossip, and Eric seems a bit stalkerish. The good this about begin gothic/ punk –or what ever you want to call me- and outgoing is that people want to be friends with you so they can brag to their other friends that they are friends with the creepy Goth girl. I haven't seen Edward all day, sadly enough. He doesn't seem to be in any of my classes but I still have the rest of the day to see him. Although someone like him would never be interested in someone like me. But a girl can still dream.
I'm walking with Jessica and Angela at the moment. We are going to have lunch in the small cafeteria. We walked into the line and grabbed some trays for food. As we walk down the line I realize that all the food looks pretty much inedible so I just decide on an apple, a nice rosy red apple. It's the only thing that looks like it won't run away if I try to eat it. Angela seems to share the same thoughts as me and grabs an apple too. I look at Jessica who picks something that I think was once sitting on the side of the road as road kill. As we sit down at a table I watch as Jessica stuffs the… well I don't know what into her face and gulfs it down like someone is going to steal it from her if she eats too slowly.
I trying to understand how someone as petite as her can eat like that; she looks like she could have an eating disorder. I fight back nausea and look away from her, taking a nice neat bite of my apple, relishing the sweet taste as juice foams into my mouth. Once we had been sitting there for about two minutes we are joined by a group of people. By then Jessica is finished stuffing herself with road kill. The only person I really recognize is Eric.
"Hey you're the new kid right?" a girl who looks like she'll be a complete bitch asks. It annoys me when people ask stupid questions like that; she may as well have asked me if my hair was brown. "No actually I've been living here for a while. It just took you a while to notice I was even here. That is because I can disappear, see watch I'll so it now!" I said with heavy sarcasm dripping into my voice. She looks at me her eyes confused; she also looked as if she expected me to just disappear into thin air. I guess she's bitchy and stupid. Actually no one here except Angela seemed to get my sarcasm, at this rate I'd probably forget how to used sarcasm in about a week.
I sighed in defeat, "I am new here". The girl frowned, "Well why didn't you just say so in the first place?" she snapped. Yup I'm pretty sure she's a bitch. I just roll my eyes and decide she's not worth paying attention to anymore. No one even bothers for introductions as they sit down at the table around us. A cute blond sits beside me, if I hadn't seen Edward I might've been interested, but now everyone was incomparable to him. "Hi I'm Mike", he says smiling sweetly, I can already tell he's interested in me, though I'm not sure why. I was about to offer my name when he interrupted me. "Isabella Swan, right?" he asked. I scowled, "Bella". He nodded probably not even paying attention, he seemed to be staring at my breasts at the moment, I should probably get a shirt that says "My face is up here!" Although that will just give people excuses to stare at my boobs and if I tell them to stop they'll just be like, "Hey I'm just reading your shirt!", then I'd say, "It's takes ten minutes to read a shirt?", then they'd say, "I'm just mentally handicapped. And that's how the conversation would go.
I look around the cafeteria and I see Edward Cullen sitting at a table near the back with four other people. He doesn't really look like he belongs in the group of people although all of them are obviously gorgeous. They look related in some ways but on the other hand they look nothing alike. They vary in sizes, hair colours, and they're faces look nothing alike. But they all have they same shade of unnaturally white skin, dark circles under their eyes it looked like it could be bruised, and that alien beauty and took a toll to every ones self esteem just being in the same room as them.
The big buff guy was sitting beside the girl with the long golden locks of hair, and the one who seemed muscular but still really skinny sat next to the one who looked like a pixie. Edward sat at the end of the table not beside anyone. He looked to be brooding. I watched as it looked like his lips vibrated angrily, if I had known any better I would have thought they'd been talking. The black haired pixie reached out towards Edward but her stood up abruptly and was out of the room before anyone could blink an eye. I was startled by this display, if I hadn't been paying such close attention I would thought he had a hissy fit for no reason.
I looked back over at… the blond kid sitting beside me and realized he had been talking to me the whole time. It's funny how self centered people can be, he didn't even notice the whole time he was talking to me I wasn't even listening. I tuned back into the conversation I was 'participating' in to find out her was talking about sports… my worst enemy. I stopped listening when I head him say tennis. I looked over a Jessica who was staring at me with a jealous look in her eyes. I stood up getting bored with this table and looked around. "Ah, my brain seems to be missing, I'm afraid I must bid you fare well to look for it!" I yelled out quickly and rushed out of the cafeteria leaving everyone behind.
I decided I should go to my next class. I walked in the room to find the one and only Edward Cullen sitting there. Even though his eyes were closed when I walked into the room I could see him stiffen and become tense. I walked towards a table at the back and realized there was names on each desk, appointing where you were suppose to sit. "What is this fucking grade two?" I muttered to myself, and looked for a seat without a name on it. It turns out the only one without a name was the one next to Edward, how did I know this would happen? I sighed and sat down next to him and lean back in my chair, putting my feet on the table.
"Why are you here so early?" he asked with his voice strained. I shrugged, "I lost my brain and had to find it". I could see him peering at me curiously out of the corner of his eye after I said that. "It was an excuse to stop talking to what's his face", I explained. For some reason I wasn't irritated to have to explain myself to him. Edward didn't even nod acknowledgment he just sat there looking away from me. Oh well, the bell rung quickly and soon the room was filled with people. Angela passed and gave me a smile and shy "hi" but went to sit in her seat.
But how ever… blond kid… Oh I remember his name now, it was Mike! Well Mike thinks its okay but to sit on the table in front of me and starts talking to me about sports. "So do you want to play tennis with me this week end?" he asked thinking I had been listening to him about sports. "Uhh… what?" I asked dumbly without the slightest idea of what he was talking about. "Tennis… this weekend… Come on Bells we've only been talking about it this whole lunch hour!" Mike said.
"Correction… You've been talking about it the whole lunch hour… and I wasn't listening at all because I was staring at…" I stopped and glanced over at Edward who seemed to be oblivious of our conversation and in his own little world, "… Paying attention to something else. And another thing, I absolutely hate sports. I've decided many years ago sports are not for the physically handicapped. And I am practically handicapped so there's no way in hell I am going to play tennis. Oh and please don't call me Bells I really hate that name!" Mike looked really insulted, "Fine, Bella I was just asking." He walked over to his seat beside a girl with a really bad perm. Ha ha good let him sulk.
I looked over at Edward who seemed to be ignoring me completely and was as far as possible away from me. What did I do? I shrugged it off even though I wished he was closer. I peered at him through a curtain of hair and saw that his fists were clenched and he was biting his lip. I looked away from him and towards the teacher who had just appeared through the door. He started with boring introductions and I didn't listen at all. I zoned out into thoughts of the boy sitting next to me.
"Isabella Swan?" the teacher said interrupting me from my thoughts. "What?" I asked crossly, I hated being talked to when I was zoned out. "Would you like to introduce yourself?" he asked even though it seemed more like a demand than a question. I ignored the tone, "Not particularly, no". He looked cross, "Well do it anyway." I sighed and stood up. "I'm Bella Swan", I said stopping there. "We already know, tell us about your likes, dislikes", he said. I sigh, he really set himself up for this one, "Well at the moment I really dislike you." I heard Edward laugh then cough trying to pretend that he had been coughing not laughing. No one else laughed, people really need to get a sense of humor.
"Isabella Swan, report to my room after school for detention", the teacher said coldly, "And as for you're poorly concealed laugh Edward Cullen, since you find Isabelle so funny you can join her". I sighed. "It's Isabella", I heard Edward say from behind me. "What?" the teacher asked, "That is what I said".
"No, you said Isabelle, her name is Isabella". The teachers face turned a close shade to purple, "Do not talk back to me. You have a weeks worth of detention!" I groan I know I'll probably regret this later but this teacher is such a hot head that I have to say it. "Um, he wasn't talking back to you, he was merely correcting you. That is no reason to give him a weeks worth of detention", I said sticking up for Edward even though it will get me into worse trouble. "You can join him Mrs. Swan. Now both of you to the office I will not have you disrupting my class any longer!" he said. "I'm actually not married, so it would be Ms. Swan, not Mrs. Swan!" I say, it's fun to push teacher's buttons and watch them snap. "GO", he boomed. Both me and Edward strode out into the hallways with twenty odd eyes boring into our backs. I really had no intention of going to the office, all's I wanted at the moment was a smoke, maybe ditch the rest of school and do something worth my while. The first days of school were just boring, not really any distractions.
"Hey Edward? Do you happen to have any smokes on you?" I asked. "I have some in my car", he said and started walking towards the parking lot. I followed him out at a slower pace than him. We got to his car and he opened the door for me. I was kind of surprised; no guy has ever opened a door for me. Unless you count Charlie opening the car door and shoving me in the back. I stepped into his car; since it was raining I assumed we would be smoking in there. He went into the drivers' side and sat next to me, I just realized there wasn't anything dividing the two seats. It was basically just one big seat.
He handed me my much need nicotine and lit it for me. We both inhaled and blew out at the same time. I looked at him sheepishly, he was tense again. I didn't understand why he would act all normal then get all tense. Once my cigarette was finished I got out of his car. "Thanks", I said and started walking. I heard him groan quietly behind me. "Where are you going?" he asked even though it sounded like he didn't want to know. I shrugged, "Somewhere, for a walk". Edward pursed his lips for a moment, "Can I come with you?" I was surprised with his question; I thought he didn't like me much, when ever he was near me he seemed exasperated. I shrugged, "Sure". Even though every ounce of my body wanted to scream "Yes yes Edward! Of course you can come with me; you don't even have to ask!"
We started walking and the rain seemed to have cleared up, even though it was still cloudy and the sun was no where in sight. We walked in a very uncomfortable silence, so I had to break it or I was pretty sure I was going to die. "Soooooooooo…. How's life?" I asked. He looked at me incredulously, I'm pretty sure he couldn't believe that I was using the 'how's life' line. It is the last resort line when you've decided you're at rock bottom and nothing you say could making anything any more worse. You may think that it's just a line but it's not.
"Could be worse…" he replied while I stood there looking like an idiot. I usually can come up with topics but with him I feel tongue tied. We continued walking until we realized that school would probably be over by the time we turned around and walked back. "We should probably turn around now", I said, he nodded and we both turned around on the road. I hadn't realized until now that he kept a no contact distance between us. I was having trouble is he liked me or not. He seemed really tense when he was around me but he hasn't said anything rude to me. He offered to walk with me but we didn't talk at all the whole way so I really don't know what to think.
I had a bit of trouble keeping up with his long stride but soon we both fell into a comfortable pace. The walk back down the road was much the same as the walk till we turned around. We didn't talk at all, and I'm very uncomfortable with thinking, it leaves me time to think and reflect. I really don't like doing that because it helps me remember things I've suppressed long ago. I'll just think of something that has nothing to do with my past… The mysterious Edward Cullen.
The whole walk back to the school he was the only thing on my mind, oh how I would love to taste his pale pink mouth, but I guess I'll just have to leave that to my imagination.
The walk back to the school seemed a lot quicker than it was walking away. We got to the parking lot quickly and there was teenagers getting into their cars. I guessed that school was over. Edward and I went our separate ways to our cars. I walked beside my sturdy red truck. Just as a reached for the door handle I slipped on what I think was a small rock under my foot. As I fell my head collided with the side of my truck. My head was smashed roughly on the pavement that used to be under my feet. The wind was knocked out of my lungs, and I gasped and the air shot out of me. I groaned and reached my hand for the back of my head.
Once my head reached there I felt warm trickling liquid. I put my hand in from of my face knowing what I would probably find. I regretted putting my hand in front of my face once the stench of blood hit my nose and I could see the shiny crimson fluid that was now dripping down my fingers. My eye's fluttered- I probably wouldn't have fainted if I hadn't seen the blood- I saw Edward's concerned face looming above me, once I saw that I closed my eyes and let the dizzying darkness take me away for a ride.
