Chapter 3: School

I wake up this morning to find that I'm running a little behind. At that I jumped up and got ready to go to school. I wore the usaual plain long sleeve shirt with jeans and my converse. My hair wouldn't cope with my hair brush so I threw it up in a messy bun.

Being done getting dress I went downstairs to grab a gronala bar. I was then walking to the door when I realized I haven't seen or heard my mother all morning. Odd.

"Mom? Are you here?"

No answer. I went to the phone and found a note.

Bella,

Don't worry I just left early to find a job. I'll see you when you get home from school. Have a good day and good luck.

Love, Mom

Ugh that's all I need a person wishing me good luck. At least I'll know at least one person. Mike Newton.

I started towards my truck when I slipped on some ice.

"Ouch!" I shouted when my butt met the ice. I started to get up and then I slipped again.

"Great this is a way to start the day." I muttered to myself. I really miss my old home. There was never ice on the drive way. Here was ice central.

I finally got up got in my truck and left to go to school.

I arrived early to my surprise. I was sure I would be late. I parked my truck got out and went to the front office.

When I entered the room, it was small and very warm, and smelled like old books.

"Good morning how can I help you?" A elderly woman asked from behind the desk. Her name was Mrs. Cope.

"I'm Bella Swan, I'm a new student."

"Oh, wonderful. Here is your schedule and a map of the school. If you need any help just ask anyone dear." She said this all with a very excited voice. I wondered why.

"Oh thanks." I grabbed the papers and left the office. I read my schedule and it looked similar to my old one. It just now I have to search for the rooms that my classes belonged in. I could definitely tell today was going to be a long day.

I was standing by a pillar when a familiar face came to my view.

"Hey Bella!" Mike said.

"Hi." I said lamely.

"I thought you weren't going to start until next week?"

"What can I say my mom was very enthusiastic when it came to me going to school, she registered me yesterday and insisted I go today."

"Oh well that's a good thing too. I don't think I could have lasted a week without spilling the beans about the new girl."He playfully punched my shoulder and smiled. I returned it with a very weak one.

"Hey Mike can you point me to the English hall?"

"Who do you have?" I handed him my schedule and he smiled at some of the courses. I assumed he was in those classes as well.

"I have 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 7th with you so just follow me to those classes and you should be good. I'll have some of my friends help with the others." He handed back the slip of paper. I felt relived that I wouldn't have to worry about getting lost.

"Thanks." Then the bell rang and I followed Mike to class.

It was 5th period and I was anxious to get to lunch. All morning long people have stared at me and I knew when the dismissal bell rang I would go to my truck and sit there until lunch was over. The 5th peroid bell rang bu to my surprise someone called my name.

"Bella!"

"Uh, yeah?"

"Hi, I'm Angela Weber. Do you need help finding the cafeteria?"

"Actually I was going to hide in my truck."

"People keep staring don't they."

"Yeah, it's really annoying."

"Why don't you sit with me at lunch."

"I guess I can."

"Cool I can introduce you to everyone."

"Okay." I could tell Angela was a very caring person.

"Come on."

I followed her to the cafeteria and to a table full of people.

"Bella this is Jessica, Eric, Ben, Lauren, Tyler, and you know Mike."

"Everyone this is Bella."

Everyone then said hello.

"Hey." I said in a shy tone. Angela sat down and patted the seat next to her and Jessica. I obeyed and sat. Everyone went back to their conversations except for Jessica.

"So you're from Arizona?"

"Yeah."

"Well how are you liking the dramatic change in weather?" She kind of said it in a snobby tone.

"Well I don't really like the cold or wet so I'm not adjusting well."

"You'll get used to it." Angela said in a reassuring tone.

Angela and Jessica joined a conversation with the others so I was just forgotten. I took the time to examine the cafeteria. I glanced at all the tables and stopped at one. The people sitting there were unlike anything else. They were absolutely beautiful.

"Who are they?" I asked.

Angela and Jessica followed my stare.

"The Cullens." Angela was first to answer.

"Yeah, Dr. Carlisle and his wife adopted them."

"Are they like together?" I asked.

"Yeah, the blonde girl is Rosalie and the big guy is Emmett they're together. And the other girl is Alice, she's with Jasper the blonde, and the loner is Edward, apparently nobody here is good enough for him. But he is completely gorgeous."

"Oh." It was the only thing I could say. At that moment Edward looked my way and I blushed a deep crimson and turned away.

Lunch ended and I started towards biology. I finally found and was the last person to arrive. That's when I saw him. He looked so disgusted by the sight of me. His table was the only one with an empty seat. I took my seat next to him. He scooted his seat as far as possible away from me. I turned and sniffed my hair to see if I smelled bad. Nothing, just strawberry scented shampoo. The period was so akward that I hated it.

The bell rang and Edward got up and all but ran away from me. The rest of the day went by pretty quickly. Although a ball did hit my head in Gym, when dismissal bell rang I went to my truck and went home.

I got home and found my mom baking.

"Hey mom."

"Hey Bella how was school?" She asked really excited.

"Um, well it was alright I didn't get lost and I made a new friend, Angela Weber."

"Oh talking about Weber's I got a job at the realstate place. Isn't it wonderful?"

"That's great mom. I going to do my homework and then go to bed. It was a tiring day."

"Okay, goodnight, I love you."

"You too."

I went upstairs and did my homework and finished it. Then took my shower and got ready for bed.

Then I laid down on my bed and got comfortable and attempted to fall asleep.
