Don't you hate when you work so hard on something, and technology comes along and ruins it?

That's what happened to my ENTIRE biology scene. My anger is indescribable. There's going to be a scene later on where Edward sees pictures of her before she's changed-and he'll have something to say about her appearance. Also she doesnt smell like the La Push wolves, that's why the vampires dont react to her or recognize her. They think she's a human!. Thanks to Holidai for your amazing review, this chapter is for you! :)

I still dont own Twilight..sigh :P

Chapter 2

Bella POV

I didnt really want to walk to class with Mike as usual - he seemed to be a popular target for the snowball snipers - but when we went to the door, everyone groaned in unison while I squealed in join. I ditched Mike and headed straight for the Biology room. After I got my slip signed by a balding, but kind man named Mr. Banner, I turned and took an empty seat at the back. I knew I still had a few minutes before class started.

I kept my eyes away from the door, doodling idly on the cover of my notebook. I heard very clearly when the chair next to me moved, but my eyes stayed carefully focused on the pattern I was drawing.

"Hello," said a quiet, musical voice. His hair was dripping wet, disheveled - even so, he looked like he'd just finished shooting a commercial for hair gel. His dazzling face was friendly, open, and a slight smile on his flawless lips. But his eyes were careful.

"My name is Edward Cullen," he continued. "You must be Bella Swan."

I turned and scrutinized his expression. "Yea." I replied. Knowing my name wasnt going to impress me if thats what he thought.

Thankfully, Mr. Banner started class at that moment. I tried to concentrate as he explained the lab we would be doing today. The slides in the box were out of order. Working as lab partners, we had to seperate the slides of onion root tip cells into the phases of mitosis they represented and lebel them accordingly. We weren't supposed to use our books. In twenty minutes, he would be coming around to see who had it right.

"Get started," he commanded.

"Ladies first, partner?" Edward asked. I looked up to see him smiling a crooked smile.

"No," I replied. "If you really are the gentleman you try to act like, you'll complete the lab for me."

He frowned. He was obviously wondering if I was mentally competent.

But he agreed, writing it neatly in the first space on our worksheet.

"Anaphase," he murmured, writing it down as he spoke. We were finished before anyone else was close. I could see Mike and his partner comparing two slides again and again, and another group had their book open under the table.

Unfortunately, I was left with this asshole but my mood had lightened since I hadnt been forced to work at all today.

Fortunately, Mr. Banner came to our table then, to see why we werent working. He looked over our shoulders to glance at the completed lab, and then stared more intently to check the answers.

"So, Edward, didn't you think Isabella should get a chance with the microscope?" Mr. Banner asked.

What a dickface. First, my name is Bella. Second, if this 'gentleman' said anything I would rip his head off.

"Bella," Edward corrected automatically. "Actually, she identified three of the five."

What a sweet man. I could see us being lab partners more often. From that point on in class we did our own thing. I continued to draw on the side of my notebook while he stared intently at the whiteboard in the front of the classroom.

"So Bella, why did you move here?" He asked, disrupting the silence.

This guy was a joke.

"My mother got remarried." I said. It was true- she'd remarried to a guy named Phil. He was much younger than her, but he made her happy.

"You don't like the guy." It wasnt a question.

"He abuses me," I snorted. His face suddenly turned horrified.

"Did you tell somebody, dd your mom find out-" Talk about not understanding sarcasm.

"Why else would she send me here?" That was the truth.

"My father's a doctor-if you need someone to talk to about-" Oh my god.

"That'd be nice." I said. This was unbelieveably funny.

"He works at Forks Hospital, you can go by anytime. His office is on the second floor."

I was vaguely wondering what would happened if I showed up in wolf form and giggled.

He frowned again. "What's so funny?" I laughed even harder. By this point people were starting to look over at us wierdly.

"Just remembering the times Phil would hit me, ya know..." Maybe this was getting a little too far.

Just at that moment the bell rang, and I silently thanked whatever God there was.

Gym was boring, to say the least. Mike Newton (the blonde kid from lunch) wanted to be my partner in badmitten, so I deliberately hit him on the head so he would leave me alone. When he said that I could repay him with a date, I told him that he could go fuck himself and walked out of the gym.

Since I left earlier than most students, I didnt have to pass anyone driving out of the parking lot. Charlie wouldnt be home for hours I thought.

I grinned like an idiot as I reached the house and got out of the car, heading towards the woods in the backyard.

I ran forward, shooting into the trees like a bullet, and flew into the air as the familiar sensation took over my body...

...and landed on four legs.
