A/N - Well, it's my third chapter. Thanks to everyone that has reviewed so far.
I have fixed the 2nd chapter of mistakes and have lengthened the 3rd one. I have went in to more detail of the audition after a request from a reviewer.
Chapter 3
"Well, here is your class," sighed Mike, "I really enjoyed talking to you. I guess I will see you around?" He sounded hopeful.
"Sure, and thank you for helping me find my way. It's awfully complicated," I replied. I waved at him as I watched him walk down the hall, elated.
I turned and opened the door to the class. Mike had obviously taken me a long route and walked slowly as class had already started. I walked in and suddenly all eyes were on me. I wasn't embarrassed, I'm used to the attention.
"Hi, I'm Bella Swan. I'm a new student here," I announced, mainly to the teacher but also to the class. Jaws dropped, as it wasn't widely known that I was coming, I made Charlie keep it a secret.
"Of course!" said the startled teacher, "There is one empty space up the back."
"Thanks," I said, smiling sweetly. I strutted to the back of the class and sat down next to a surprised girl. She let me share her book with her, as I had no idea what supplies I would have needed.
The class passed by quickly and at the end, I realised I had no idea where I was going. Everyone emptied the class, some looking back as if they should help, but only one boy did. He was tall with dark hair and looked like he belonged to a chess club.
"Um, hello," he stammered, "I'm Eric. Do you need any help?"
I was greatly appreciative of this boy. Not only was he willing to help, he actually had the guts to talk to me, unlike the girl I just sat next to. She only smiled, or looked absolutely terrified.
"Yeah, I'm in Government next with Jefferson, in building 6, I think?" I frowned. I checked my timetable and sure enough, that's what I was in.
"Cool, I'll show you to your class." Then he winked at me. I'm not sure who was more surprised, me or him. With a red face he motioned to the door and took me out into the animal-like hall.
"So, uh, what are you doing in Forks? If you don't mind me asking," he said hurriedly.
"Well, I'm finding out what it's like in high school. I've never been to one." I said absentmindedly as I looked around the hall. There were so many people in one school, I wondered how they remember each other. After what seemed like ages, we arrived at building 6. Eric had kept me amused with his constant talking. Whenever someone starts talking to me, it's like their floodgates open and everything that has ever happened to them - from the day they were born to the present - just spills out. I don't really mind, I'm not much of a big talker anyway.
"Here you are. Have fun," he said with a smug smile on his face, "Oh, I almost forgot, do you want me to pick you up after class and take you to your next one?"
Pick me up? What was I, a baby? But I couldn't say that to him. That wistful look in his eyes made try t think of something that wouldn't hurt his feelings.
"Thank you for the offer, but I'm sure I could find someone to help me. You don't need to go out of your way to get me."
He nodded, slightly disappointed. "Okay, see you around then." He walked off to his class and I got in mine on time.
The full day seemed to continue like this. Nothing really exciting happened until lunch. I had sat down with Jessica, a girl that sat beside me in both Spanish and Trig. She invited me to lunch as she commented that I must not know a lot of people here yet. So I smiled and nodded. I had kept it light for my lunch, having a salad and an apple. The way I saw it, this meant that I could have a large meal at dinner. Everyone that had came and talked to me today was sitting at the table. There was a rather large crowd around us. Mike had managed to grab the other seat beside me and Eric just glared at him. They all seemed to enjoy the attention, particularly Jessica, who flipped her hair a lot and giggled constantly. The crowd were told to sit down by a lunch lady, as they were 'blocking the path'.
Jessica started pointing around the lunchroom and giving me the gossip about interesting people. I was listening intently as I watched her finger move around the room. She was explaining about one girls family troubles when I spotted a table of people I had never seen before. They were absolutely beautiful. I gasped, looking at the girls. I felt very plain and ordinary just looking at them. There was three boys and two girls. There was a short brown haired girl with a pixie cut. She seemed to be bobbing her head to some invisible music. The blonde boy next to her was tall and muscular, but not as muscular as the other boy next to him. This other boy was massive! He had dark, curly hair and was sitting beside a gorgeous blonde. Her hair was long and slightly wavy. The last person my eyes fell upon made shivers go up my spine. His hair was bronze in colour, and was messy but in a stylish way. He looked toned and had muscles but not as big as the other boy's. He seemed detached from the rest of the group. Disinterested in them perhaps. His eyes roamed the room, searching for something interesting. The his eyes met mine. I lowered mine in shock, and then raised them to see that he was still looking at me. I'm used to people looking at me, but his gaze was intense and he seemed confused about something. All of a sudden he stopped looking at me and gazed around the room again.
It was strange, but I felt slightly hurt.
"Should I snap her out of it? Or is that rude?" Jessica whispered to Mike.
"Oh, no, sorry, kind of dazed out there. Got a lot on my mind," I said, coming to my senses. "Jessica, no one mentioned that models go to this school," I said quizzically.
She looked puzzled, but when I pointed in the direction of the beautiful people, she laughed.
"Oh, they're not models. They sure look like it but they aren't. That's the Cullen kids. They moved here a few years ago. They were all adopted by Dr Cullen and his wife. The short brown haired one is Alice and the tall one next to her is Jasper, they're a couple." She nodded, getting everyone to agree with her.
"He looks a bit like he is in pain," I observed.
"Yeah, I know, right? The muscled one is Emmet and the blonde one is Rosalie. They also go out. It's pretty weird."
I looked at the bronze haired one. If the rest were all paired up, where was his partner? My heart actually ached at the thought that he might be taken.
"What about the other boy, the gorgeous one?"
Mike scoffed. "Edward? Gorgeous? Nah." Someone sounded jealous.
Jessica, annoyed at being interrupted, told me straight, "He may be gorgeous but he is interested in no one here. I mean no one. And god knows that we have all tried." I looked up at the boy, Edward, and saw that he was now laughing to himself, as if he just heard her say that about him. Alice looked up at him and joined in.
The bell rang and everyone stood up, the sound of scraping chairs echoing around the hall. I watched as the group of Cullen's walked over to dump their trash in the bin. However, they didn't walk. They move swiftly and gracefully, not one of them stumbling. Alice danced over to the bin and one by one they all emptied their trash in the bin. One thing I noticed though, was that not one piece of the food had been eaten.
Mike came up to me and said "To Biology, Bella?"
"Yup," I said cheerfully. There was only two classes left and then I could do whatever I wanted.
A/N - That was fun talking about the Cullen's. I can't wait to get really into the story! Please review and continue to read!
