Or A/N: New chapter for my new story. I will try to update more, but I have been pretty busy. Enjoy!
I got in my Chevy truck that Charlie got me for my 16th birthday. Sure, it was slow and rusty, but I loved it. I was lucky to even have a car, or truck in this case. I put the key in the ignition and headed for Forks High School.
I pulled in next to Edward's silver Volvo. He used to tease me about my choice in cars. I just rolled my eyes and laughed. He doesn't tease me now. I sighed and wished that the rape never happened.
The bell rang to signal that we were now to go to 1st period. I hurried to English. I was the first one as usual. But, it wasn't long before Jasper came in and sat down next to me.
"Good morning Bella." I nodded curtly in his direction as my hello. The silence was kind of awkward between us. Jasper and I aren't that close, but we are still best friends along with the rest of his family. The bell rang again and the teacher came in to start her lecture.
I was staring at my notes when the teacher called on me.
"Isabella, would you tell me one quote from Wuthering Heights." I panicked. What do I do? Oh! I know! I picked up the book and scanned it. I picked one of my favorite quotes and pointed it out to Jasper. He looked confused for a moment before he figured it out. He nodded his head and smiled.
" I cannot love thee; thou'rt worse than thy brother. Go, say thy prayers, child and ask for God's pardon. I doubt thy mother and I must rue that we ever reared thee!" He sat down and I smiled.
"Very well then. Tomorrow class, we will begin Romeo and Juliet. Goodbye." The bell rang and the class filed out.
I went over to band class. Yes, I have band class. I play the clarinet. It is fun I guess. Today we were learning a new piece called, The River Flows in You.
I went to the corner to pick up my instrument. I noticed that my reed needed to be replaced. I went to the box to get a new one. I reached my hand in the box to get a new one. As I reached in, another hand came in. I looked up to find Mike. My eyes went wide as I panicked. He smiled and winked.
I shudder, terrified of what he would do to me if he ever got me alone. I forced that thought from my mind and sat with the rest of the class, as far away from Mike as possible.
"Ok, class today we will start with warm ups, then practice the new piece." , the band teacher, said. She passed out the worksheet which consisted of warm up notes.
Alice, who also played the clarinet, started with me. We were the first ones done so we sat there. Alice is the only one - apart from Edward- who I talk to the most. I sometimes talk with her during this class, but not always.
"Hi, Alice." I said quietly. She beamed because I talked to her.
"Hi, Bella." She said happily. I smiled at her hyperness. For a small pixie, she could sure pack a punch. Hmm, I wonder if she eats pixie sticks. I internally laughed at my little joke.
"So, did you do last night's homework?" She asked me I nodded my head.
"Alright, class, let's get started. I will pass out the music sheets for the new piece." I looked at the sheet. It looked easy enough. I wet my reed and waited for the signal to start. She picked up the baton and gave the signal. We all started and it was a good song. I played well, if I do say so myself.
We went through the song one more time before we were dismissed. I walked over to social studies. I sat down to Emmett. Emmett was the big jokester. He always made jokes and teased me. Not so much anymore. He smiled at me and I said a small "Hi".
Today we were learning about ancient Roman society. Ms. Tomasek told us to get our textbooks and workbooks out and start reading chapter 35. I found it quite sad that if the father didn't approve of a new baby or it didn't seem healthy enough, he left it outside to die.
As usual, I finished reading and moved on to workbook questions. They were pretty easy, so I finished pretty quickly. I decided to read Wuthering Heights and start on some questions from the packet. I looked over at Emmett. He was still struggling on the first question. I silently laughed and continued reading.
After two more classes, it was time for lunch. I picked out a sandwich, some carrots, and water. I paid for it and sat down at the Cullen table. I nodded my head to them as my greeting and sat down.
I sat down next to Edward and he smiled a crooked smile at me. My breathing hitched. He always did that to me. He was like my own personal god. I quickly composed myself and smiled back. I picked at my sandwich not really listening to the conversation they were having.
Edward and I left for biology early. We sat down next to each other as always. I pulled out my copy of Romeo and Juliet. Edward got it for me on my birthday since mine was just about to fall apart.
The bell rang a few minutes later and class started. We started on our experiment and finished quickly. I continued reading when Lauren came over to our table.
"Eddie." I hate that little nickname. I could tell he hated it also. "So would you like to come to my place tonight. I know you want to." He all but threw up on her. I felt a burning rage of jealousy. He politely refused. There's Edward for you. A perfect gentleman. She huffed and walked away. I looked back at my book, pretending that I didn't pay attention to what had just happened.
I headed to my next class.
Math.
Oh, how I hated math. One of the major reasons why was my math teacher. A total pervert, he was. He always stared at the girls, especially Rosalie. I had math with her thank god.
And, he gave us way too much homework. Like five pages a night! He tried to be funny when he really wasn't. Nobody, no t one single person, liked him. The other teachers didn't even like them. I could tell they all thought he was a pervert also.
I entered the classroom and sat next to Rose. We exchanged smiled and started on our warm up problems. Mr. Herrick started talking and made a really corny joke. Everybody rolled their eyes and frowned.
He told us to get out our journals and start copying the stuff on the board about fractions. I hated fractions. Wow, I just hated everything about this class didn't I? Oh well. Rosalie finished about the same time I did and we passed notes.
(Rosalie/Bella)
Hey Bells
Hi Rose.
Bella, I know I asked this a million times, but why don't you talk anymore? Did something happen you don't want us to know about?
No, I don't. Nothing happened to me. I know I was lying, but I didn't want anyone to know. Yet.
Are you sure?
Yes, mom.
She rolled her eyes and tore up the note and threw it in the trash. We studied for a moment before we were passed out a test. Great, a test. Woohoo.
I did the test, turned it in, and sat and think for the rest of the period.
Did I really want anyone to know I had been raped? Would anybody find out if I didn't? Would Mike do it again? All these questions made my head hurt. I shook my head and left for home after the bell.
I got in my truck, started the engine, and started for home.
This day had been a rough one.
A/N: Sorry for the wait. I had been busy, but the chapter is up now. I hope you liked it. Oh, by the way, this story is an ALL HUMAN story. If that already wasn't obvious enough, well there you go.
