Bella felt the sun through her window. She was slowly opening her eyes while she tried to get her sheets off, but it was quite difficult, she was so tired.
She grabbed a towel and relaxed with the lukewarm water droops from the shower. Several minutes later she got dressed and was ready for school.
"Mom! I gotta go already, bye!" Bella said.
"Have a nice day," Renée said, distracted as usual.
While she was on her road to school Bella had the feeling that today something good might happen.
Who knows why? Just… someone on her mind disrupting her thoughts...
This pathetic guy... what was his name? Edwin? She thought, blatantly self-deceptive.
Oh, yes! Edward, of course.
She hadn't talked with him. Well, she hadn't talked to almost anybody because she believed that everybody thought she was weird. Not that she cared.
She saw a lot of Edward because he was in the same classes than she was, but she couldn't stand him! He was quite self-centered and always telling bad jokes that he actually thought were funny, but really weren't.
He was just so aghh!.
Fifteen minutes later she was in school, and being greeted by Alice.
"Hi, Bella!" she said happily.
Alice was the only girl she had talked with, besides Rosalie, since she came to Arlentown.
Alice was very shy and quiet, with beautiful long purple hair, grey eyes, and was a little on the short side. She liked Jasper, but he didn't have any idea. He was as foolish as Edward. Everyone in the school seemed to be like that.
"Hi, Alice!" Bella said, taking out some books from her locker. "Why do you seem to be so happy?" she asked, giving her a weird look.
"I heard a new guy is coming today!" Alice confided with a big and white smile.
Bella rolled her eyes. "Come on, Alice! I thought you liked Jasper," she said boldly.
Alice put her hands on Bella's mouth, worried. "Shhh! I told you not to say a word about that, Bella!" Alice whispered while looking around in panic.
Bella laughed a little bit, taking Alice's hands away from her mouth. "Take it easy! No one heard what I said, so shut up and walk! We're gonna be late for Biology." She took Alice by the arm and together headed to the classroom.
"Aren't you excited about the new guy who's coming?" Alice whispered with sad face.
"Should I be?" she asked, mad. "He's probably gonna be as stupid as the other stupid guys, all perfect short and straight black hair, big sparkling smile and amazingly colored eyes..." Bella stopped her rant.
"Erm, Bella, you're describing Edward," Alice said, stunned.
Bella opened her eyes, surprised. "What?" She laughed nervously. "Of course not! You're crazy, Alice!" she said quickly.
"C'mon! Of course you were, Bella! You just described him accurately!
Was it true? Was Bella unconsciously talking about Edward and she didn't figure out about it? But...why?
Maybe Bella liked Edward and she didn't know or maybe not. Maybe it was a coincidence.
"Aghh," she growled. "Forget it!"
Alice just rolled her eyes and laughed softly.
Bella tried to pay attention to the whiteboard but she couldn't because of Edward's laughter, playing the clown, sounded in the whole classroom. She was kind of mad, but she didn't dare say a word because, contradictorily, she wanted to keep on listening to him.
"Are you coming to the garden Bella?" Alice asked, two hours later during break. Her eyes were looking around, as if searching for something.
"Ehhm," Bella muttered, unsure. "I don't think so. You can go if you want. Rosalie might be waiting for you."
"OK , I don't know why you always like to be alone," Alice said, shaking her head and walking towards the garden. Bella was left unable to give her an answer.
"Neither do I," whispered Bella to herself, her eyes downcast.
