Hey Guys lots of revision to do so this chapter took longer than normal
Sorry, you know the drill R&R please.... Enjoy :)
"O Isabella Swan, the chief's daughter?"
The receptionist was the first person to call me Isabella so far today.
"Erm its Bella."
When I corrected her I wondered how many times and how many people I would have to correct on the subject of my name throughout the day.
"Yes ok, Isabella," I sighed inwardly, "here is your lesson plan, map, list of teachers and equipment list."
She handed me a wad of paper, scribbled a note on her pad and sent me on my way.
The school was a maze. Buzzing at the seams with hyperactive students. When the map was handed to me at reception I wondered why on earth I would need one the population of Forks was exactly 3, 192 and apparently all of that number consisted of students, but now I was starting to have doubts. I crossed the hall though the traffic of students and stopped off at locker 231, my new locker. I entered the combination and emptied the contents of my bag into the darkness. I then pulled out my lesson plan and the book I needed for my first lesson. English. I closed the locker and rested my head on its ice cold front.
"Isabella Swan?"
O My really come on it Bella. I lifted my head up from the locker door and glanced up at the questioner. He had the appearance of someone smart, who maybe enjoyed...chess?
"It's Bella." Second time today, I was keeping count.
"I'm Erik Yorkie; do you need any help finding anything, maybe a shoulder to cry on?"
He responded quickly, and at that point I could tell he was the over helpful type and I guess at that moment that was the kind of needed all the help I could get.
"Actually I need to find room E5, any ideas?"
"English, great that's what I have, follow me," he replied and a great big smile took over his face, probably happy that I didn't reject him as was my first intention.
As we made our way through the corridors of the school, which were now virtually empty meaning I was probably late as usual, Erik talked nonstop. I learnt a lot about him in this short space of time. He was on the school paper, liked to surf at a place called La Push, and as I suspected played for the chess team. I smiled and nodded, trying and probably failing to look attentive, with every syllable he uttered I took in one more characteristic of my surroundings. The water fountain, the butter yellow walls and the grey floors. Lockers pressed up against virtually all the walls and every classroom full with students settling at desks, readying themselves for the lesson ahead. I was glad when we finally got to English, and I let out an inaudible sigh of relief.
"After you," Erik said in a gentlemanly fashion as he pulled the door open. I politely thanked him and stepped into the classroom.
I handed my sheet of information to my teacher, he nodded after quickly scanning it, handed me a book, pointed me to a seat and quickly began his lesson. Time passed with extreme speed, I had been placed to sit with a girl, who I quickly learned was called Jessica Stanley, who like me prefers an abbreviated version of her name, Jess. She seemed nice enough, very friendly though a little self engorged. This wasn't such a bad thing as the last thing I wanted to be talking about was me. So far the two students I had had contact with had been self indulgent. I secretly hoped everyone would be the same way.
"So what do you have after lunch?" Jessica asked me.
The day had flown by with extraordinary speed and we were already at lunch time, the part of the day I was dreading the most.
"Biology." I replied shortly.
She seemed a little shocked at my short response but took only a second to be shocked and then started babbling away again. She was starting to become irritating. When we entered the cafeteria I became worried, if Jess's babble was good for anything it was to keep my mind of this part of the day. I looked around expecting to find distinct cliques. I saw none. Everyone seemed completely mixed up and everyone looked the same. I turned my head taking in as much of the weirdness of it all as I could. My eyes stopped at one table. A table even weirder than all the rest, or maybe it just seemed odder because the people sitting at it were, well...different.
"Come on Bella, you can sit with us."
I dragged my attention from that table and looked over to Jess who was seated at a table with Erik and other people presently unknown to me. I walked over to the table and placed myself in the last remaining seat.
"Bella," I was glad that at least Jess remembered how I liked my name. "This is Mike Newton, Angela Weber, Erik Yorkie, Lauren Mallory and Tyler Crowley."
They all nodded and gave a friendly smile when Jess introduced them. Erik went a step further and called me "his gal." Then right on cue him and Mike, I think it was, burst into argument over whose girl I was, or was going to be anyway. Jess raised her eyebrows and her and Angela both turned to me, and I quickly knew that this is where the questions would start.
"So Bella, why did you move to sunny old Forks, it doesn't really seem like the best move to make from Arizona?" Jess asked the first question she asked the first question I didn't want to answer.
"I dunno, spend some time with Charlie, I mean my dad, I guess," I replied and as doing so I wondered if they would be able to tell I was lying, after all I was well known in Arizona for being the world's worst liar. If they did know they made no attempt to press the subject any further, and for this I was grateful. I decided to turn the conversation away from be before any other awkward questions could be asked.
"So what is with the kids sitting over there?" I asked Jess and I nodded towards the table in the corner which had earlier caught my attention.
"Oh," she replied quickly, "they are the Cullen's...
"How are they all so nice looking?" I asked rhetorically.
"Well they are all together, adopted by Dr and his Mrs; he is like this foster dad slash matchmaker person, totally weird."
At this point in her story Angela butted in, the first time I had heard her speak.
"Maybe he will adopt me," she smiled.
I had a feeling I was going to get on well with Angela. Jess smiled and then quickly continued with her story.
"There is Rosalie, the tall blond one and she is with Emmett, the bigger bloke." She awaited my acknowledgment and the continued. "The small girl with the shortest hair is Alice and she is with Jasper the guy with the huge eyes." She stopped.
"And the other guy?" I prompted.
"Oh that is Edward Cullen, he is the only single one, but it would seem that no-one here is good enough for him."
She said this dismissively and then sighed, I got the feeling she had tried and failed to claim him as hers. There was something about that boy Edward, I couldn't quite put my finger on what, but something made him stand out from the rest. Just as I was trying to work out what it was, he looked up and caught me staring and held my gaze in his.
I quickly looked away, trying to pretend I hadn't been staring gormlessly over at him. From the corner of my eye, I saw him cock his head inquisitively; making the artificial light bounce of his bronze locks, and that is when I caught a glimpse of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, as though he had just witnessed something remotely funny.
Biology. S11, Mr Banner. I sighed and set off from my locker into the maze of the school. By some unusual and lucky chance I arrived at my destination 3 minutes later, which confused me because normally it would take me hours, and I would end up tripping over an open locker door and ending up in A & E, today however I was feeling lucky and I had not so far had an accident.
For the last time today I entered the classroom, handed my information sheet to the teacher, received another text book and was pointed to a seat. I looked up to see where I would be sitting this time, and I was extremely surprised to meet the topaz eyes and dazzling smile of Edward Cullen, and the last remaining seat...
Now things will start to get interesting, Edward Cullen has entered the Fic YEY
Review please xxxxxx
