So enjoy, and review!

Chapter 6-Day of the River
Thursday, I hated Thursday! It always felt like Friday, but then you realize, no tomorrow's Friday. Stupid, stupid week. I wished it were Friday. I wanted to be at home doing anything, reading listening to music, anything but be at school waiting for Alice. Stupid Cullens, stupid Thursday, stupid Forks.
As I drove up to the school, I saw Alice walking towards the doors with Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett. Where was Edward? Maybe he was just still at their car. Whatever, Alice was here now! I couldn't wait until gym! Me wanting to go to gym? This was something new. I just couldn't wait to talk to Alice so I parked quickly and started walking fast to the shelter of the school.
"Alice!" I called after her. She had stopped in front of her locker, but quickly turned to face me. Her face was blank and her normally warm golden eyes seemed cold.
"Alice I have something I wanted to a-"she cut me off.
"Sorry Bella. I really have to go." She slammed the locker door and looked up into my eyes. Her eyes seemed to darken a couple shades, and she walked off and disappeared behind a mob of students.
How did her eyes do that?
I brushed off her cold behavior as anxiety. Maybe she had a test next period or something. I'd talk to her during lunch.
The next few classes went by slowly. Whenever I was anticipating something, time seemed to slow down just to tease me. The day felt like forever.
Lunch time, finally. I quickly stuffed my books into my bag and rushed out the door. I had to talk to Alice. I just had to.
I walked into the cafeteria and saw that three of the Cullen's were sitting there, but two of their siblings were missing. Edward still wasn't here and Alice was gone too. That's strange. When the family is here Alice is usually here.
I went and sat down next to Jessica, not even bothering with any food. No body talked to me, which was fine. I just watched the Cullen table, waiting for Alice to return.
"Bella. Bella? Hello, Bella?" some one asked.
"What?" I said turning my attention back to my friends.
"Why were you staring at the Cullen's table?" Jessica asked me. I blushed a deep red.
"I wasn't. I was just looking around," I lied. I'd always been a bad liar, but Jessica seemed to believe me because she pouted and started talking to Lauren.
I looked back towards the table in the corner, except this time my gaze was met by a pair of glaring ocher eyes. Rosalie was staring at me; her lips curled up into a grimace of disgust with her bright white teeth shining menacingly in the low lighting. Her blond hair fell in front of her face, and she jerked her head around in a blindingly quick motion. My heart jumped into my throat and started pumping in double-time. My breathing became shallow and quick.
Jasper looked over at her, looked at me, and smiled. My breathing started coming easier and I looked away. Everyone at my table was watching me.
"Excuse me," I mumbled and jumped from my table. I nearly ran to my truck and leapt inside.
OoooooOoooooO
My day was definitely going down hill. Edward wasn't in biology and I had to do one of the most annoying labs on earth by myself.
Alice didn't even go into the locker room to change. She rushed in, put her bag down and left. It was like she knew that I was planning to ambush her.
Then, during class, Alice wouldn't talk to me at all. I would approach her, which was hard to do in my rollerblades, but she would skate away very quickly. I tripped multiple times, and I didn't have anyone to help me up. Alice was the first one in the locker room, and the first one to leave. She was practically half way to her car by the time I got my rollerblades off.
I walked out to my truck, upset and disappointed. Alice had been so nice to me, and so energetic and fun. Now she was avoiding me. This sucked.
I got home and just wanted to lie in bed for the rest of my life! But tomorrow was Friday, one more day of school.
God, I hate Thursdays.
