____Chap 6 School And Telling Jacob ____________________________BPOV_________________________________

I sighed. Today was the day I had been dreading- Monday, the day I had to go back to school.

I wasn't looking forward to all the questions that would be asked, and wasn't so excited about smelling the disgusting scent of the students blood either.

Of course, the whole town knows I was gone.

But that's what I get for wanting to stay in forks.

What will I tell them?

Hmmmmm… I was attacked by a bear- no… I was mad and- nah.

OH!

How about I was kidnapped because I- nada.

Ah Ha! I was hopelessly lost in the woods and when I found my way home at last, I gave myself a makeover because I looked horrible. That so sucks, but I'll be late if I keep thinking of excuses.

I sighed and forced myself to get up and get dressed.

When I was done, I got in my rusty old red pickup truck and drove to Forks High School's parking lot that was filled with people and jumped out.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and gasped at me.

I sniffed the air.

EEEEEEWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I saw Mike Newton drooling at me.

"What?" I asked them, annoyed. Everyone snapped back to reality.

Just then Angelia Weber came running up to me, grabbed my wrist, and pulled me along into the school before I could say, 'Nice weather we're having.'

"Where were you? Are you ok? What happened?"

She asked me.

Well, here goes nothing. "I got lost in the woods and couldn't find my way back for 3 days. When I did, I was such a sight I decided to give myself a makeover."

She seemed a bit suspicious, but decided to let it go.

Just then, I felt a tap on my shoulder, and It was none other than Mike Newton. Just my freaken luck.

"What do you want?"

Mike was just staring at me. "MIKE! What do you want?!?!?!"

He snapped out of it and then started stammering.

"Well, I- you- umm… and me-with-ummm… you know- do you- and-with…" "MIKE!!!!"

"Doyouwannagoonadatewithmetonight?" He asked in a rush.

"WHAT?"

"Do… do you wanna go on a date with me tonight?"

"Well, actually, I'm… going to a movie with Angelia tonight!" I told him.

(She was still standing next to me.) She nodded.

He looked disappointed. Then his expression turned hopeful. "I could go with you!"

Damn, this guy just couldn't take a hint, could he?

Angelia smiled sympathetically at me.

Suddenly an amazing idea hit me. "OK! It'll be great. We're watching a chick flick called 'The Fist Kiss.' A/N It's not really a movie, BTW.

I saw the trailer, and it has so much romance and kissing and drama… How great is that?"

"Really great!" Angelia told me, caching on. Mike frowned.

"Oh! I just remembered, I have a doctor's appointment tonight. Sorry." He told me.

I could hardly keep from laughing. I looked at Angelia, and could tell she was about to crack up too.

"Ok." I said. With that, he walked away, and Angelia and I burst out laughing.

We giggled until the bell rang, signaling the beginning of class.

We ran off to our classes then.

On the way, everyone looked at me either admiringly, jealously, or with hatred.

The rest of the day passed by quickly… Yes, even gym. Now that I was a vampire, I was much more graceful.

Everyone in the class, and the coach was amazed at my not hitting anyone on the head and/or knocking anyone out.

After I got home, and fixed dinner for Charlie, I called Jake.

"Hello?"

"Urmm… Hey, Jake. I have something to tell you."

"What? Anything wrong?"

Yes.

" J- Jake… errr… I…"

"Spit it out, bells!"

"I'm a vampire!"

I shouted onto the phone in a rush, then hung up before he could respond.

About 40 seconds later, Jacob rushed into the house, through the door without even knocking.

"BELLA!" He shouted, pulling me into a hug.

When he pulled back, He wrinkled his nose.

"You smell horrible!" I chuckled. "Thanks, Jake. You smell like a wet dog."

"So this is why you're not ok?" He asked.

"NOOOOOO. I'm not ok because I lost my favorite shoes. Yes, this is why!"

"How?" And so, I told him the story.
