Chapter 8: Failure

He's the one…the one…

Edward Cullen…he's the one from the forest!

"Isabella?"

"Huh? Oh yes, Edward? Please call me Bella." I replied.

I had to talk to him. Had to tell him about my fear…I had to talk to somebody. Somebody who understands.

"Um, Edward-"

"Bella, ca-"

"You first." I ordered, waving toward him.

"Nevermind." We both said in unison, staring back at the untouched lab.

As we finished, we parted with good-byes and headed off to lunch.

What was he going to ask me? Did he even know who I was?

Well, whatever. I'll just ignore these Cullens.

"Hey, Bella!" A little, cheery voice yelled.

Who could that be? I only told several people not to call me Isabella. She doesn't sound familiar.

"Hey! Over here!" She yelled.

I turned, and was directly I front of a small, pixie-like girl.

"I'm Alice Cullen." The pixie chirped, sticking out her hand.

"I-I'm Bella S-Swan…" I stuttered.

So, this is another one of the 'adopted' Cullen kids.

"Oh, I know who you are, silly! I see you've met my "brother"." She squealed, emphasizing the quotations around 'brother'.

Why? This is SO confusing…

"Ya, Edward, right? No, offense, but you could kindly ask him why he stared at me throughout Biology? It kind of spooked me."

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that. I was wondering if you would li-"

Alice was then interrupted by a group of girls grabbing my arms.

Is today Annoy Bella Day?!

Can't people just leave me alone…

As I remember the annoyances holding on to me, I quickly spoke up.

"WHAT do you want?" I barked.

Quickly pulling out of their weak grasp, I stifled the growl emerging from within my chest.

"Uh, we-we wanted y-you to eat with-with u-us." One of these girls stammered.

Good. They're scared. I got them right were I want them.

Why does everyone keep coming up to me?

And why is everybody so happy today?!

"NO, thank you. I'm not sitting- or eating, for that matter- with ANYONE. Good day." I snapped.

With that, I stomped off, leaving a speechless group of girls and a sad Alice Cullen.

Is there EVER peace in this world?!

Now, where is a quiet, place where I can sit alone?

As a big Oak tree caught my eye, I fast-walked to it and slumped against it.

I then began to stare at the gigantic, puffy black clouds roaming overhead.

This brought my thoughts back to the little pixie, Alice Cullen.

What was she going to ask me? Why was Edward staring at me? Was that him in the forest?

Of course Bella, it had to be. WHO else could possibly look like that?

Too many questions and certainly not enough answers.

RING!!!

OUCH!!!

Why do they have to make those stupid bells so loud?! Sounds like my mother…

Oh, right.

These humans are practically deaf.

Finally!

Five more minutes until last period, Gym.

Five more minutes until another deafening bell.

As I stared at the lesson being projected onto the blackboard- of course, this town can't afford a whiteboard- by the overhead, I thought about humans.

They are so WEAK!

So breakable, so destructible, so…so…lucky.

They can be warm, embarrassed, and imperfect. What a great life, right?

I hate the fact of being immortal, cold, and perfect.

Being thirsty.

Watching these lucky humans eat food that I once found delicious, but now find revolting.

But, having heightened senses is a perk…one of the only.

These humans think they have perfect sight, 20/20 vision.

Boy, are they wrong.

Well, newsflash mortals, I have practically 100x more than that!

I feel like a cat who can see every, single stinking detail on a spider from 10 yards away!

Humans don't understand…they are SO arrogant.

Once again, SO lucky.

They're allowed to make mistakes, whereas one slip-up for us means total and complete havoc…

Have I ever been so negative?

People are annoying me SO much today…HOW do these Cullens do it?

Another stupid bell.

How do they handle THAT?

I think these humans are getting to me, and these bells.

I can't stop being so negative, so cranky, so lonely...

Well, off to Gym.

I'm glad I'm not like my old human self, or esle I most definitely would have made a fool of myself.

As I headed toward the Girl's Locker Room at the end of the period, I watched Edward and Alice arguing about something,

In the middle of the room, at the end of the day.

Nice.

I could only make out a few words at their hushed conversation like, "NO!", or "Most definitely, I know these things!"

I wonder what that's all about.

Once I finished changing, I couldn't believe it.

Dang it!!!

Alice is standing right next to the exit, and Edward is standing in between that and the locker room.

And I was trying to avoid them…

Oh well, I might as well try.

Straightening my posture, I tried to walk between them as briskly as I could.

What a failure.

As I tried to walk past Edward, his hand angrily swung out, hitting me straight in the gut.

Ouch. THAT caught me off guard.

I did several back flips from the intensity and quickness of the impact, but quickly gathered myself together, and then landed firmly into an attack position.

Good thing it's only Alice, Edward, and I left in the Gym, because, this time, I couldn't stifle the very loud growl I created.

I'm glad they look horrified-or is that shock?- they should be.

That hurt.

FINE.

If that's how these…these…CULLENS want to play…

I hope you guys liked this chapter...

Cliffy will be filled soon!!!

I have another story making it's way to being added.

Please tell me if you have any good ideas for Bella's special power!!! Thanks!!!
