CHAPTER 1
"Isabella Swan!"
I looked up from my desk hesitantly and replied to the teacher. "Yes Mr. Banner?"
"Why aren't you doing your assignment? And don't try to tell me you were, because I just saw you with your head down."
"I'm sorry Mr. Banner, but I finished the reading and started on the homework. I've got a headache" from Charlie throwing me against the wall this morning I thought to myself, "and I was just trying to make it go away." I smiled at him appologetically.
"Well..erm..finish the homework and then see me at my desk. I've got something to discuss with you." I wonder what that was all about. I opened my Biology book, and took out my spiral. Of course I was done with the homework, I always finished early, but I didn't want to seem like the smart-alleck Charlie says I am. After a few minutes of pretending to work, I put my things in my bag and walked up to his desk, all the while ignoring the stares I recieved from the other students.
I waited patiently from Mr. Banner to notice my presence.
"We're getting a new student on Monday. Five actually, but only one will be in this period. He'll be sharing your lab table and Mrs. White (the principal) asked me to get someone to show the two Juniors around. She's already picked someone for the other three, seniors I think."
I nodded to show I heard him, although I didn't know what any of this had to do with me.
"I thought" he continued,"that since you seem to have so much free time on your hands, that you would be willing to show Mr. Edward Cullen and Ms. Alice Cullen the school Monday morning."
I stared at him and blinked once. Does he really want me to be the one to show the new students around. I'm sure he can find someone else I thought. "Are you sure Mr. Banner? I'm sure one of the other students would love to. Maybe Mike?" Anyone but me!
"No Ms. Swan. You're the daughter of the Chief of Police, and on of the top students in the class" THE top of the class I thought to myself "and I already told Mrs. White you would do it. Get here early Monday and wait for them in the arking lot. Take the kids to the front office to get their schedules and show them where their classes are. I expect this won't be too difficult for you?" He asked in a very condescending tone.
I smiled sweetly, "Of course not." It took all my efforts not to grimace or ounch him in the face. Sometimes I have an anger problem towards authority, but I try to never let it show.
Walking back to my seat I couldn't help but wonder about the new students, and think about my first day of school here in Forks...
