I walked inside and
I was amazed. That was their band room I just passed. It was huge.
I looked and saw the gothic people sitting on the staircase,
staring at me like they were about to chop me up and eat me or
something.
I smiled nervously and kept walking.
So not a
good start.
I walked down the end of the hallway and up the stairs.
People were
everywhere.
I saw a door in front of me and quickly rushed out.
More people, more buildings.
I sighed. "No
office."
I looked around, not knowing where to look.
"You look lost," a girl with brown, straight hair said as she
walked up. "Are you new?"
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm Bella."
"Kaytlen," she said before smiling at me. "Where are you
looking for?"
"The office," I admitted.
"Right this way," she said happily.
She looked a lot like me. Brown hair, brown eyes, similar face features.
Good thing I knew I was an only child.
"Here it is,"
she announced as we walked into a building.
I smiled. "Thanks.
I probably would've wandered around for hours looking for it."
She laughed. "You get used to it after a while."
"I hope so," I said softly.
In Phoenix, everything was squished together. It was big, and packed. Here, it was big and stretched.
"Your schedule,"
the secretary, Mrs. Kilpatrick, said as she handed me a yellow sheet
of paper. "Welcome to Cullman High."
I smiled at her.
"Thanks."
We walked outside.
"Do you want a tour?" Kaytlen asked curiously. "We have
plenty of time."
"Kaytlen!" a girl with spiky black hair
called. Her skin was pale white, and she was absolutely beautiful.
"Alice," Kaytlen said before laughing. "Relax. Breathe."
"Okay," she agreed.
"This is Bella," Kaytlen informed her. "Bella, this is one of my best friends, Alice Cullen."
"Hi," Alice said
sweetly. She looked at me for a second and then grinned.
"Where's Jazz, Emmett, Rose, and Edward?" Kaytlen asked.
"They're coming," Alice said. "They were being slow."
"Oh," Kaytlen said. "That's odd."
"Edward was being
weird," Alice said simply.
I just stared.
"Oh!"
Kaytlen exclaimed. "Alice, let's find the others and give Bella
tour of the school."
"Okay," Alice agreed.
"I really don't want to be a bother," I said quickly.
"You aren't,"
Alice said happily. "Believe me.
"We can get to know you
better this way," Kaytlen pointed out. "Oh. Alice, Emily told me
to tell you she was gonna be a little late for first period."
"Aw," Alice said sadly. She sighed. "Okay."
I felt so out of place. But hey. This was already better in Phoenix. In Phoenix, I hardly had anyone talk to me.
"Jasper!" Alice
called.
A pale guy with blonde hair walked up. "Chill Alice.
We're here now."
I just stared.
Their skin was pale
white, and they were all beautiful.
The one that stood out the most to me was the one who came up last. He had bronze hair, pale white skin, and honey eyes.
Now that I look…they all do.
"This is Bella,"
Alice announced. "Bella, meet Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, and…where's
Edward?"
The bronze haired guy stepped out from behind
Emmett. "Oh. Sorry."
Alice smiled. "And that's
Edward."
Edward stared at her for a second. "Yeah. Well,
I've got to get to class." He turned and walked off, before
anyone could say anything.
I just blinked.
"Does he hate me?"
"No," Alice said quickly. "He's
just…really…shy, I guess you could say."
"Oh," I said
softly.
"So, what are we doing?" Jasper asked curiously.
"We're giving Bella a tour," Alice informed him. "Wanna
come?"
Rose and Emmett looked at each other.
"We're
gonna go try to find Edward," Emmett said.
"Nice meeting
you Bella," Rosalie said sweetly. "Sorry to rush off. Maybe talk
to you later."
Emmett nodded. "Hopefully." They walked
off.
"So, I guess it's just you, me, Alice, and Jazz," Kaytlen said before shrugging. "Oh well. Can I see your schedule?"
