Chapter 2: Reassigning Your Seats

I walked into the cafeteria talking to Angela about rescheduling our weekend plans. It was 6th period now, which meant lunchtime. I had biology next period and Angela had heard that Mr. Banner was going to assign a group project that was due Monday. So instead of shopping with Angela, I would be working with Mike Newton on a project.

I've had to work with Mike before on assignments because we were lab partners. He never wanted to do any work, so I would go and do the entire assignment because I didn't want to get a bad grade.

We were standing in line to buy food now and I tried to look ahead to see what they were serving when I felt something hit me in the back of the head. I put my hand up to my head to see what it was as I turned around to see who hit me with something. I couldn't find whatever it was and there was no one behind me so I let it go.

"So Bella, did you hear about what Jessica did last night?"

"No, what did she do?"

"I heard that she and Eric Yorkie were caught making out behind the dumpsters."

"But I thought she was going out with Mike."

"She was but apparently they had a fight about an hour before that,"

By this time we were paying for our food. I had a slice of pizza with a water bottle and Angela had a salad with pink lemonade. We walked over to our usual table near the door and sat down.

"Why does that girl have to cheat on Mike? Now I'm going to have to hear about it all through Biology and all through this weekend."

"Ha-ha," Angela teased.

The rest of lunch went by in a blur. As I walked to Biology, I was thinking about a song I'd heard on the radio last night. I couldn't get the tune out of my head. I walked in the room and almost didn't notice that everyone was standing in the front of the room.

I looked up to see Mr. Banner standing in front of everyone saying, "…and that's why I am reassigning your seats."

I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. On one hand, I was getting away from Mike and his annoyingness but on the other hand, I could be assigned someone worse.

Mr. Banner started walking around the room, pointing out seats, stating who would sit there. Finally, he said my name. I walked over to the seat he was pointing at, and sat down. I held my breath as I waited for him to announce who would be my lab partner from now on.

"Edward Cullen."

No! How could this happen? I have been avoiding this day since the fifth grade. Edward came over and sat next to me with a glare on his face.

Edward and I used to spend a lot of time together. I had been Alice's best friend so of course I spent a lot of time at her house. Naturally Edward and I became pretty close. I'm sure I would have been close with Emmet too but he had always been out: Hanging out with friends, sports practice. It had always hurt me when Alice had abandoned me but it hurt me a little more when after Edward had consoled me at lunch, he began to hate me.

"So," I looked up to see Mr. Banner had finished assigning seats and was now standing in the front of the room. "Over this weekend, I want you and your new lab partners to put new lyrics to a song of your choice. Now I will be coming around to assign two vocabulary words to each group. These words are what your going to make your song about. Any questions?"
