Chapter 2: New Kids At School

Monday mornings, the worst morning of the week in my opinion as it makes the weekends seem so far away. I pulled myself out of bed trying to be careful not to hurt my shoulder in any possible way. Of course that's not possible but I like to think that it can be done. Mum left for work an hour before I got up, she always leaves at the same time every morning and I went down to the kitchen for breakfast.

Opening the fridge I grabbed out the milk and made myself a bowl of cereal. I went to put the milk back in the fridge to find that mum had attached a note to the fridge door for me. Putting the milk away and taking the note off the fridge I read it.

Be careful Troy

Have a nice day at school and do stay out of trouble. I don't want to have to hear that my son is in the hospital again.

Love Mum.

I frowned at the note and scrunched it up, throwing it in the bin. I knew that she trusted me but not my friends as they are the main source of my injuries. My friends doing something stupid that hurts me is not unusual, it seemed to be part of my every day to day life. After breakfast I had a shower and got dressed. Knowing that there were going to be new kids I decided to wear something different. No caps or beanies, just my sunglasses with a nice black v-neck t-shirt, red hoodie and black jeans. Ok, maybe I will wear one cap, my favorite red one.

Walking out of my bathroom, my phone started to vibrate to signal that I have received a text message. It was Chris, there was a local skate competition today and I was asked to ditch school and drive them to the competition. Don't get me wrong I like my friends, but I don't trust them in my expensive to repair car. I thought about it, I wanted to go but also I wanted to meet the teens of Dr. Cullen's family. But I soon realized something, my shoulder, it is injured and the best I can do is go to school.

I sent back my reply and went to get ready for school. Unlocking my car I put my bag and skateboard in the backseat, I got in the driver seat and drove to school. Not a very long trip but never the less still irritating waiting to park in the school car park, even more irritating when I go to turn into my normal park spot and I find another car in my spot. In three car spots were some very expensive cars, a nice black Volvo, a Jeep which to me isn't too special Jeeps are very common and a red BMW convertible.

I went wide and turned into the free car spot next to the convertible. Grabbing my stuff out of the back I lock my car and went up into the school, towards the main building where all our lockers were. I saw my group of friends in their usual spot, some were missing and the bad ones who I disliked were missing making this day even better.

"Troy." Sam said. "I thought you'd be at the skate competition."

"No." I said. "My shoulder isn't good enough to be safe near the skate boards."

"Fair enough." He said. "Did you see the cars?"

"I did." I admitted. "The jeep was in my parking spot."

"I noticed but the BMW is awesome." Sam admitted. "I wonder who owns it."

"We will find out soon enough." I explained walking to my locker.

The bell went as I put my stuff in the locker and grabbed out my books. I had graphics this morning which was good because I had a great design for a skate board in my head all morning. I walked to the class and went straight in, half the class was already in there as I took my usual table that I had to myself and spread my stuff across the whole table.

"Class." Mrs. Watts called. "We have a new student."

I looked up to see a short pixie girl with short spiky black hair walk into the classroom door, her walking looked like dancing as she stood with the teacher and handed her the slip new kids had to give their teachers. Mrs. Watts pointed at the only free table which just happened to be mine. The girl walked over and sat next to me as I pushed all my stuff to my side and took my legs off the table.

"Alice Cullen." The teacher said reading off the slip. "Welcome to Graphics, we are all doing our own independent designs. Ask if you need help or ask my top student Troy Mastin for help as he is sitting next to you."

"Thank you." Alice replied.

The class got underway; I rolled up my sleeves and began drawing my design. Alice was quiet and looked like as if she was drawing some type of clothing. I smirked at her drawing, fashion designing is boring as hell and I don't know what she found so interesting in it. I was just about to start coloring in my design when she tapped my arm.

"Nice tattoo." She said gesturing to my wrist.

"Thanks." I said rolling down my sleeves, she stopped me however and looked at them.

"An angel is it?" She asked.

"Yes, it's an angel flying up holding onto a female." I explained.

"Nice." She said letting go off my wrist. "Do you have any others?"

"Yes on my back." I admitted. "It's my last name."

Alice nodded and looked up at me; she had the same golden eyes and purple bags under her eyes as Carlisle. She smiled at me and gestured to my design.

"You skate?" She asked.

"Yes." I said. "Who owns the jeep?"

"My brother Emmett does." Alice explained. "Why?"

"He parked in my spot." I admitted. "It's been my spot since junior years."

"Aren't you a junior?" She asked.

"No I'm a senior." I explained. "This class is a mix of senior and juniors."

Alice and I continued to talk until the bell went, she went out the door and her boyfriend met her and took her to the cafeteria. I left after them and grabbed my money out of my locker, I just happened to overhear the football player's conversation.

"Seen the new blond girl?" One of them asked.

"Sure have." The other said. "I heard she's single."

"I will have to give her a short then." The first one said walking past me.

Just who was this blond girl? I walked to the cafeteria and sat in my normal spot with my friends. The Cullen's sat at their own table and all talked amongst themselves. Alice waved at me and turned to her boyfriend who had blond hair this must have been the twins that Carlisle was telling me about. He and the blond girl were sitting next to one another. She was gorgeous and abnormally beautiful. She smiled as her brother with bronze hair whispered something in her ear and she looked in my direction then quickly looked away. The brunette smiled and started to speak to the bronze haired boy again.

The bell went and the Cullen's went to class, the eyes of everyone followed them as many boys wolf whistled at the blond girl as she walked past. I rolled my eyes and went to my next class, physics, my favorite subject besides graphics. The class room wasn't unlocked yet. The whole class gathered around the door and waited for the teacher, I saw out of the corner of my eye the blond girl from before approach this class just as the teacher arrived. She stopped and waited on the other side of the door and walked in first sitting in the seat next to mine. I mentally smiled; this class was now being my favorite class in the whole of schooling. Let the class begin.
