Chapter Two
~The First Day~
Bella.
Nervous doesnt cover how i feel right now as I sit on one of the dark wooden dining chairs in my families kitchen. I'm so nervous i cant eat. My stomachs grumbling at me but all i can do i pick at the corners of the now cold toast. the melted butter on my untouched breakfast soon attracts my cat Sam. He meows and jumps up onto the table. I should scold him and make him get down but i dont. I'm so nervous i cant even move enough to scratch Sam's ears like i normally do. Mom comes into the kitchen spots Sam and shoves him off the table. Normally i would tell her off for doing that to my cat but i cant seem to find my voice.
"Time to go, hun" Mom says to me walking back towards the archway that leads into the kitchen. I don't move straight away and mom pauses sighing
"It'll be alright, you know?" I look up to find her smiling warmly at me. She means school will be alright but thats not all im nervous about. I dont tell her the other reason, I'd rather not die, thank you. This baby pact is whats worrying me. I barely slept last night because of it. I nod to mom and follow her out of the kitchen through the hall, where i slip on my black ballet flats and grab my bag, and out of the front door.
I dont speak to my mom once as we drive across town to the private high school we're about to start at. During the twenty minute drive I just lean back into the leather seat of my mom's Jaguar and stare out of the window all the while tugging nervously on the bottom of my dark grey pleated skirt. My uniform starts to feel like a staight jacket as we pull into the empty school parking lot. Nobodys here yet. I wasn't expecting them to be since i'm being dropped off early because mom has to go to work. Rose and Alice told me yesterday as we left the beach that they'd meet me by the entrance and we'd go into school together. Only probelm with that is i now have to sit here and wait for them, alone with only my iPod for company.
Mom pulls up outside and i push open the door swinging my right down onto the pavement. Mom reaches over and places her hand on my forearm, I turn to her as she says
"It will be alright, I promise."
I nod and fake a smile. She looks unconvinced by it but removes her hand nonetheless. She has to get to work, she cant risk being late. I force myself to say
"Bye, Mom" before stepping out of her car.
"Bye, sweetheart" Mom says just as i close the door. She drives off and i sigh as i glance around the empty lot. I slowing walk forward towards the dauntingly huge brick building in front of me. I feel so small in comparasion. I pull my iPod and my notepad out of my bag. I place my bag on the ground beside the entrance wall and sit on it so my new skirt wont get ruined. I take the pen out of the white coil that holds my notepad together and start to write. Scribling down ideas onto the paper that will probably amount to nothing.
The parking lot starts to fill but I remain obvious to it as i write and doodle my ideas. Its only when someone taps my shoulder that I, thinking its rose or alice, I yank out my earphones and jump up faster than I should've. I lose balance and stumble backwards only to be caught around the waist.
"Sorry i didnt mean to frighten you" a male voice apologises as its owner helps me to steady myself. I feel my face heat up as the teenager in front me smiles at me. He still hasnt let go of my waist and although he's pretty much the definition of gorgeous with his unruly copper hair, sparkling dark green eyes and masculine features i still feel uncomfortable with the fact that a his hands are resting practically on my hips. I detach myself from him and walk over to the spot where i was sitting a moment ago so i can retreve my bag. I slip its strap up my arm and move back to where the guy is still standing holding my fallen iPod and notepad out for me to take.
I take them and ask him
"Did you want me for something?" curious to know the reason as to why he tapped my shoulder.
"Oh, er, would you happen to know where the front office is?"
I frown at him
"You see, me and my brothers" He indicates to the two other teenagers behind him, who i hadnt seen eariler "We're new here and we're not really sure where we're supposed to go"
"Er...I'm sorry. I don't know, I'm new too."
The guys behind him laughed at him and the one of them said
"Trust you Eddie to ask a freshman for a directions." I turn away from looking up at the guy in front of me and look instead over towards his brother. I looked past him over his shoulder noticing the sign above the doorway that read 'Front Office'. Nearly laughing myself I say
"I may only be a freshman but at least I can read. Turn around."
They all turn just I get nearly tackled to the ground by Alice and Rose.
"Come on you." Alice says dragging me away from the hot boy and his brothers. I dont resist her as she tugs on my arm to make me move. I didnt have a chance with him anyway. He's far to good for me
"It's make up time" Rose tells me taking hold of my other arm. I groan but still don't resist. I'm more than used to being their barbie, it stopped bothering me years ago. They drag me into the nearest bathroom they can find and procede to cover my face in shit. Needless to say im not impressed by their forceful pampurring session. Rose does my hair quickly and then rushs off to get us our timetables. Alice is doing the finishing touches to my make-up when Rose rushes in. We compare our schedules and find that our classes are all different and the only thing we share is first lunch. The bell rings before we really have anytime to digest the news that we wont be together again until lunch. Maybe I should have been worring about high school more than a stupid pact.
My morning classes werent too bad. In fact with English Literture being one of them my morning isnt too bad at all actually i quite enjoyed it. Jessica, a girl from my class before lunch helps me find the cafeteria. We get our lunch trays and then sit down at the table that my two best mates are already sitting at. Rose and Alice look mirsable, clearly they didn't enjoy their first mornings here as much as i have. Alice seems to know when i'm about to sit down. She looks up the moment me and Jessica take seats at the table.
"High school sucks" She states the second my butt hits the chair.
"Your not wrong there" Rose argees "We're supposed to be together. High schools gonna be shit, if we aint together."
I can see that their not going to move off this topic unless I change it
"Guys, this is Jessica" I introduce her to them and they both look at her like they've only just noticed that shes there.
"It's Jess" She corrects me and it doesnt take long for my two bff's to start introducing themselves to her. At least we moved off the subject of lessons. I dont think they'd be happy if i told them that i'd enjoyed mine so far anyway even if they hadnt been with me. Some of Jessica's friends come and join us on our table. I smile and say hi to them one by one. The conversation soon turns to fashion and I become uninterested. I eat my lunch slowly and only stop and look up when the whole table goes quiet.
"Who are they?" I hear Rose ask Jessica. I turn to look in the same direction as Rose and the others. I turn to find that all the girls are staring at the guy whom i'd dubed the 'definition of gorgeous' and his two brothers. The gorgeous guys that i'd insulted by calling them illiterate.
Rose.
So far being a freshman sucks. My classes suck but its not having Bella and Alice by my side thats made my day so far suck the most. The only thing that could make my first day not a disaster is if i make it onto the cheer squad. I am trying out after school and I positively can't wait! It's as i'm thinking about try-outs that I look out of the cafeteria window and my breath catches in my throat at the sight that meets my eyes. Three of the hottest guys ever are currently strolling into the room via the backdoor. One in particular catches my eye, he has thick curly brown hair, built like a wrestler, and tall enough to stand beside me and not look like a dwarf. Oh. My. God. I think i'm in love. I can't help but stare as he and his friends make their way across the cafeitria towards an empty table. Even though i know that his two friends are sitting beside all i can see is him. The others are there i know they are, I just don't care about them. Only him. Our eyes meet across the room and my hearts starts pounding. The very second that our gazes collide I feel this pull towards him, this burning desire to go to him, to stand up stride across the room and kiss him better than he's ever been kissed before. I don't though obviously im not going to embarrass myself that badly on my first day. I tear my head away from the window just as he looks at me. Alice has a dreamy look on her face as she too stares the three guys and Bella, suprisingly, isn't paying any attention to anything other than her food.
"Who are they?" I ask that girl who turned up with Bella, Jess that was her name, hoping that she'd tell me what i want to know. She looks up to watch alone with me and everyother girl .
"Their the Cullen's. Well, the sons. The lanky blond one thats Jasper, the tall auburn one thats Edward and the big brown haired guy thats Emmett." Jessica says checking them out.
"They don't look like brothers?" Alice asks speaking at from beside me. Jessica anwsers instantly "Oh they're not. Mr and Mrs Cullen can't have kids so they adopted them when they were little." Alice and I smile thinking about how kind the couple must be to take in three young boys like that. Alice tilts back on her chair slightly to whisper in my ear
"Dibs on the Jasper" I laugh and say
"Dibs on the Emmett"
We both laugh and then look over at Bella. She's blushing, for some unknown reason, while she picks at her food. Me and Alice look over at the guys table once more to find Edward staring at Bella's back. We share a look and Alice says what were both thinking
"Edward has dibs on Bella"
We laugh again and when it passes I say
"Girls room."
Me and Alice stand up instantly and Bella moves at a slower pace, probably threw fear of falling over on her ass like she normal does. We desperately need to discuss this. I know that Emmett is the one...the moment our eyes met I felt that spark. We dump our trays on the way out and I can feel eyes on me as we leave the cafetria. I'm so glad I look as good as i do today. I chose to wear my new black stilettos which arent really allowed since there far too high. My grey pleated skirt has been hitched up to mid thigh. My blouse is fitted and so is my black cashmere sweater. The navy blue striped tie hangs low and my hair is straight and down. Alice's uniform is the same as mine but her make-up is very different. She is wearing her knee length boots that she got on sale last week. Bella's skirt has been pulled up like ours only hers is a bit lower than mid-thigh only it would be knee-length if me and Alice had given her the choice. Her tie is perfect and her shirt is almost fully buttoned up. Her shoes are flat unlike mine and alice's though i dont blame her for that choice. That girl seriously cant even walk over a flat level surface without finding something to trip over.
"Oh my God! Jasper is sooooo hot! Indescribly hot!" Alice rambles on. I roll my eyes but smile all the same.
"No, no Emmett is the definately hottest. He is the one I chose." Bella frowns at me and its only when Alice sings
"She wants to have his babies!"
The Bella's expression changes and she's angry.
"You haven't even spoken to him! What are we doing talking about you having his kids?! You dont even know him" Bella rants. I glare at her and stand up straight.
"I will do what I want! You don't have a say in that. What's your problem? Just because you wont ever let a guy touch you let alone shag you, don't mean you can stop Alice and I doing what we want!" I yell so loudly I swear I heard people stop out side the door.
"Rose!" Alice yells at me, I ignore her.
I'm breathing heavily when i finish yelling and I storm out the door. Bella and Alice follow me threw it, Bella screaming
"Well thats better than being a slut!" in retailation.
"Bella!" Alice yells at Bella, we both ignore her.
Nobody calls me a slut! All i can see is red and because of it I slap Bella hard across her face.
"Rose!!" Alice yells even louder at me horrified and my blood runs cold as realise what i've just done. I just slapped my best friend.
"You bitch. I'm outta here. You stay away from me"
Bella goes to walk away but i grab her arm and pull her towards me, by now there is a little crowd gathering but i ignore them like i did Alice.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-" A sudden stinging sensation erupts in my left cheek.
"Bella!!" Alice yells again the look of horror on her face growing with each passing second. I glare at Bella and shove her hard. She falls with a thud onto the ground.
Without saying another word I spin on my heel and stride up the hallway towards my home room. I'm just about to turn a corner when a strong hand catches my shoulder. I turn to find, the love of my life, Emmett Cullen grinning down at me.
"Hey, wait up."
"I'm not moving" I point out to him
"Yeah but i've been following you for ages, you walk suprisingly fast for a girl in heels."
My eyebrows raise at the word 'following' although i'm flattered that he would I just find it slight funny and frightening that he 'followed me', the stalker! Yay! Emmett Cullen is stalking me!
"Ok that sounded wrong. Lets start over? Emmett Cullen." He holds out his hand I shake it.
"Rosalie Hale" I let go and force myself to turn around and walk away.
"Hey Rosalie?"
He calls me back though and of course I go.
"Yes?"
"What ya doing this weekend? Cos I was thinkin' maybe me and you could get to know each other a bit better."
Even though inside i'm jumping up and down i dont say anything. I keep my cool making sure my expression remains placide and controlled.
"Well then I'm gonna need your number then." He smiles at me and when i smile back he pulls out his phone. I hold out my hand for it and he places it on my palm. I type in my number and hand it back before turning around once again and strutting off down the hall.
"I'll call you!" He calls to me
"You better." I call back but I don't stop. If i'll stop walking I might very well faint. I have a date with Emmet Cullen!. Maybe a being a freshman wont be so bad after all.
Alice.
"Bella!!" I yell horrified at the scene that is playing out in front of me. Rose and Bella actually fighting! We're BFF's! We don't fight! Rose shoves Bella for retailating and then she storms off. I sink onto the ground beside Bella and help her up. Bella glares at Rose's back as she strutts off down the hall practically growling out the words
"If she thinks i'm ever going to forgive her for that shes very much mistaken. I can't beleive she had the nerve to do that!"
I look up at Bella, who's still glaring at Rose's retreating back, and see the one thing i didn't expect to see. She means every word, I can see it, the transparent honesty in her eyes shocks me. We're BFF's! We can't break up! You can't mean it! I mentally scream at her before calming down enough to try and defend Rose's actions. They are both in the wrong but Rose isnt hee to do damage control!
"Well, she did try to apologi-" I was cut off by the look of pure hate in Bella's eyes.
"She hit me! Who's side are you on, anyway?" She asks.
"No ones! She had no right either!-" I start to defend myself but she doesnt stay to listen and with one final death glare, Bella turns around and storms off back towards the cafetria. I look between both my friends as they go their seperate ways. Both heading in different directions, the question that forms in my mind; If Rose is left and Bella right, which way do i go? Left or right?
Did you like it? If you did you know what to do! :D :D
