And sorry for the longish wait.
I wrote this chapter for my cool friend Twitard :)
Devil's Sidekicks
Bella POV
Carissa had walked me all the way to my English class even though her next class was a block away. She was being so nice and friendly I was so glad she was here for me. If she wasn't, well, I don't know what I'd do without her.
I looked up at the door in front of me which had a sign that read '334 – English' I took a deep breathe and walked into the classroom. I went straight for the teacher's desk and smiled at the friendly looking woman.
'Hi,' the teacher
looked up from the papers she was holding, 'Are you new?'
'Yeah,'
I smiled at her, 'I'm Isabella Swan. This is my first day.
'Well,
well,' she smiled, 'welcome to Forks High School. I'm Ms.
Williamson, your English teacher.' Ms. Williamson looked behind me,
where most of the class were already seated, 'Why don't you sit
next to Jessica over there,' she pointed at a girl sitting by her
own looking down so I couldn't see her face.
'Sure, thank you,'
I went to my assigned seat and sat down. The girl next to me,
Jessica, looked up. She had long curly brown hair and was quite
pretty. Then in a quick startled moment, I recognized her; she was
one of the girls with Jade this morning.
I chuckled nervously,
'Hi… you're Jessica right?'
She smiled at me, like she didn't recognize me at all, 'Yeah that's me. Jessica Stanley. You are?'
'Isabella Swan, but please call my Bella,' I fake smiled as I shook her hand.
'Yeah, welcome to Forks High and everything. You should be grateful that you have Ms. Williamson for English. She is the best teacher ever. We're starting our drama unit this lesson. Drama as in like TV drama. Like love and relationships. It's so cool,' Jessica gushed.
Just then a girl and a boy came into the English classroom. It seemed as they came in a quiet hush fell over the other students. The girl was short with short black hair and the guy was very tall with curly blondish golden hair. They both had very pale skin and purple shadows under their eyes. They had more shadows than other people but I didn't ponder on that fact as I concluded they had gotten very little sleep the previous night. They walked very gracefully to the back of the room where they seated themselves. I couldn't help wondering if they were dancers or if the girl was a rhythmic gymnast because of how graceful she was.
Jessica saw me looking at them and turned to me, 'they are Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale. They are like siblings because this guy, Doctor Cullen, adopts all these kids. But they are like going out which is like so weird. I mean they live together and everything. Don't you think that's weird?' she didn't give me a chance to reply as she carried on talking, 'Anyway their brother, or adoptive brother, whatever, is like totally gorgeous and single. But he doesn't date any of the girls from this school. Thinks he's too good for us or something,' Jessica sniffed.
I could tell she must have had some sort of argument about that with this 'gorgeous guy'. I didn't really understand why Jessica was talking to me. This morning she, Jade and the other sidekick had made it clear that they disliked me. And now she was telling me all this gossip? Well, since she was so wiling I might as well ask her some of the questions I had about Forks High School.
I leaned towards Jessica, 'Do you know anything about Carissa?'
Jessica scoffed, 'Carissa Swan, oh gosh. You know Mike Newton don't you. You can't not know him. He's gorgeous as well. Not like the Cullens but he is quite something, don't you agree?' Once again she didn't give me a chance to speak, 'Yeah, and Carissa and Mike they were like,' she paused and looked around as she lowered her voice, 'a couple. And there was all this drama but not many people know about it. I found out of course,' she chuckled lowly, 'It was really dramatic and they fought about Mike's perfect personality. Carissa is so annoying, ohmygosh, Mike is like so prefect and she complaining about how he was always over friendly just trying to flirt or something. I mean Mike would never try to get a romance out of someone he met and be friendly to them because of that. He's friendly because he's nice you know. Really nice.' Jessica smiled and raised an eyebrow slyly, 'I don't even know why he went out with Carissa,' she added.
I rolled my eyes. This girl was obviously smitten with Mike Newton, something I would never be. Interested to find out about my cousins I pressed Jessica for more gossip, 'What about Carmen, her twin?'
Jessica gasped,
'They're twins? I thought they were just sisters.'
I laughed
dryly.
Jessica's eyes widened, 'Wait, Swan. Are the three of
you twins? Are you related? If the three of you were twins that would
be so cool. It would be like twins plus one of something!'
'No,
we're not related,' I said sarcastically, 'We just have the
same last name which is why we know each other already. I just wanted
to ask you about them.'
'Yeah, I really don't like them,' Jessica gushed not picking up the sarcasm.
I nodded and smiled at her, ending the conversation. Jessica went back to looking down at something. When I looked more closely, I realized that she was holding her phone under the table and was writing a text message. 'im sittin next 2 this new gal shes like totally nice omg u have 2 meet her'
I laughed, I hadn't spoken more than a few sentences to Jessica but she thought I was nice. That was weird. A few minutes before the lesson she was glaring at me and one of her friends had been, well, kind of threatening me. I was sure I hadn't mixed her up with some other girl. Was Jessica double faced? Or had she really forgotten about the conversation I had had with Jade this morning? She did seem kind of dumb so the latter could be a possibility.
After that I concentrated on the lesson. Ms. Williamson was a good teacher and, yes, we were learning about drama, but not the type of drama Jessica was expecting. That girl was really a bit silly.
When Ms. Williamson dismissed the class, Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale were the first ones to leave the room. They walked out the classroom really quickly but were able to graceful at the same time. I really couldn't help thinking about how they managed to do it. They must be a dancer or an athlete of some kind, I just didn't know what.
I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't notice that most people had left the classroom and were heading to wherever we had to be next. I turned my head and realized that Jessica was standing next to me, carefully applying lipgloss and chewing gum at the same time.
Jessica dropped her lipgloss and turned to me, 'You know you're blocking my way to leave?' she demanded.
It was true, our desk was next to a wall and she was standing next to the wall, there was another desk behind us so there was only one way for her to leave from where she was standing.
When I didn't reply Jessica, she sighed, 'Bella? Hello?'
'Oh, yes, I er, I was just wondering if you could tell me where my next class is…'
By then the English room was empty except for us.
I fumbled around all the things in my bag and found my timetable, 'I have er- Spanish next? In room 436?'
Jessica rolled her eyes, 'Fine. I have Spanish too. Our teacher is awesome. She just sits there. You know Jade? Well, she once had a facial during Spanish and the teacher didn't notice. Come on let's go,' Jessica said impatiently.
I winced when I heard Jade would be in my Spanish class. I didn't want someone like her to be in any of my classes. Her attitude was just, terrible. I swear, even if she went to the Olympics, she wouldn't be a good sportswoman and congratulate others. Just like Kirsty at the nationals. That kind of unsupportive gymnasts rarely gets anywhere.
As Jessica and I walked out of the classroom, I saw Carissa standing there, leaning against the wall. She walked over to us, 'Bella, we have Spanish together let's go,' she glanced at Jessica confusedly.
Jessica rolled her eyes at me, 'why did you ask me to take you when Carissa is here?' and she walked off.
'Why was Jessica taking you?' Carissa asked.
I chuckled, 'It's a long story. But was Jessica one of the girls with Jade this morning?'
Carissa sighed, 'Yeah she is. Why are you still babbling on about them though? I thought you were just going to ignore it.'
'Yeah well,' I protested, 'Jessica was a total bitch to me this morning. But during English she was really chatty and actually pretty nice.'
Carissa laughed, 'Well, that's weird. You can never be too sure about social queens like her though so beware.'
'I will.'
I'm not quite sure about this chapter so please review and tell me if you thought it was good or baad. Thankyous ;)
