Chapter 3
After lunch I headed to Biology I with a Mrs. Sparrow. I stumbled into the classroom stopping the inevitable fall by grabbing onto the teacher's desk. Mrs. Sparrow had her back turned to me writing tonight's homework on the board. She was a short middle aged woman who wore her brown hair in a tight bun on top of her head. She turned around to greet the class and saw me standing at her desk.
"Oh, hello dear you must be Isabella Swan."
"I go by Bella." I said as she took my schedule.
"Okay, Bella. Here is your Biology book and here is my syllabus for the class. Please take the seat next to Edward Cullen as it is the only available seat in class. He will be your lab partner for the rest of the year."
I made my way toward the table in the third row which was in the middle of the classroom. I glance at Edward and am shocked to see him glaring at me as if I was made of poison. It briefly crossed my mind he knew about the accident. Jessica had mentioned that the Cullen's were new to the town. What if they were from Arizona and had seen an expose about me on the news? I could feel the adrenaline pumping in my veins as a panic attack took over.
The noise of the classroom is drowned out by the heavy beating of my heart as it tries to escape my chest cavity. I quickly dart my eyes around the classroom to see if anyone is noticing my episode. Thankfully the majority of the classroom are to busy getting out their books to pay attention to the new kid making an idiot out of herself. I quickly take a seat next to Edward and stare straight ahead as the teacher begins her lecture on cell division and mitosis. As I took my notes I could feel Edward's intense stare so I looked over and almost fell out of my chair. The blood in my veins almost froze over as our eyes locked. I was a stranger to this kid but he hated me. He has to know about the accident it's the only possible reason for him to look at me as if I was the devil. So much for my new beginning I turned back to listen to the teacher and let my hair fall between us.
Mrs. Sparrow was wrapping up her lecture and giving us our homework assignment when Edward quickly stood up and made his way to the door. Just as he was passing the teacher's desk the bell rang. Only one more class and today would be over. The school had A and B days which meant my classes rotated daily but my last class every day was the same Gym other wise known as hell.
The gymnasium was across the school yard in another building. Mike walked with me to gym talking a mile a minute about a party one of his friends was having. I was barely listening to him as I tried to think of way to corner Edward and persuade him to not tell the town of my past. Mike opened the door of the gym for me and took me to the coaches office.
"Hey Ms. Hill, this is Isabella Swan, the chief's daughter." Mike introduced me to the ancient gym teacher. Ms. Hill looked to be in her sixties she had gray long curly hair, wrinkly skin with aged spots, grey eyes, and a stern look to her face. She was drinking coffee and leaning against her desk. She gave me a quick look over.
"Thank you Mr. Newton for bringing Ms. Swan to me. Now go get dressed before Mr. Phillips adds another mile to your run today for being tardy." Mike quickly darted out of the room. I could tell that gym was going to be even worse than I originally thought; the place was run by drill sergeants'.
"Ms. Swan, Forks High has a mandatory uniform the students must wear for gym. Here is the sheet listing the items we sale. Please turn the sheet into me by the end of the week. You will also need to buy a lock for your locker. As long as you make an effort at working out and following orders you will make a descent grade in this class. If you don't listen and sit on the sideline's I'll fail you and then you'll have to go to summer school. Do we have an understanding?"
" Yes, Ms. Hill I understand."
"Good. Today just seat on the bleachers and do your homework. You can't workout in those shoes. Bring tomorrow a pair of sweats and tennis shoes we'll be jogging outside."
I exited the office and went to cross the gym floor to sit at the bleachers when I got hit in the head by a basketball. I turned around to see what had happened.
"Sorry." Lauren the girl from English class said as she tried to hold back her giggle.
A small growl came out of my throat as I turned around and continued on my way to the bleachers. I quickly found a seat on the third bleacher from the chair. I pulled out my Geometry homework from second period and began working on the problems the teacher had assigned to us. Twenty minutes into my homework and I'm interrupted by one of the coaches blowing their whistle. I look up to see what's going on.
"Cullen go sit on the benches." Alice Cullen makes her way to the benches and sits next to me.
"What happened?" I asked as I wrap up my math homework and take out my English homework. I had a five page essay due Friday on Romeo and Juliet.
"I get dizzy spells occasionally, I just need to rest for a little bit and I'll be fine. So how was your first day at Forks High?" Alice ask as she gets comfortable. Watching the other girls playing basketball. The boy's were outside today jogging around the school.
"Okay I guess. Your brother Edward was assigned as my lab partner last period and I don't think he was happy about it."
"Oh I'm sure his happy to have you as a lab partner. Edward hasn't been feeling well today at lunch he told our brother Emmett that if he didn't feel better by the end of today he was going to take a few days off and rest. I'm sure he was just being a grouchy jerk. You know how men get when their sick."
I laughed out loud how could I have been so paranoid. Obviously the last year as effected me more strongly than I thought and I so understood how men were when they were sick. I've seen both Charlie and Phil sick and they were so frustrating!
"What's so amusing?" Alice asked me as she leaned back on her hands and looked over at me.
"I thought that Edward hated me or something. Must be first day jitters. I mean how could he hate me when we haven't even officially meet yet?"
"Trust me Edward doesn't hate you. Would you like to hang out sometime? You know us new kids have got to stick together."
"Well, I'm going into town to see if I can find some items for my room. Would you like to come with me?"
"Of course I would like to come. I love to shop it's my favorite hobby. Is it okay if I invite my sister Rosalie she can drive and has great taste."
"Yeah I just need to call my dad and let him know I'll be hanging out with you. I promised him I wouldn't get in the car with someone without telling him first. He doesn't want to have to call my mom the first week I'm here and tell her I was hurt while under his watch."
"I understand Dad's can be so protective especially when they work in job's were they see the worst. My dad's a doctor at the hospital and he's always trying to scare us with stories of horrible accidents."
"Alice just to warn you I'm not a big shopper. I just want to make my room more livable."
"That's okay Rosalie and I well make sure you have a fun time shopping. We've practically got it down to a science were so good at it. You do know you'll probably only find a couple of items in town and have to do most of your shopping in Port Angeles and maybe even some online."
"Yeah I know but I'm hoping to find a couple of unique items in town."
"What look are you going for? Modern, contemporary, shabby chic..."
"Um. I'm not really sure. I want it to fell comfortable, warm, and relaxing. I want a place I can go and forgot my problems. I like rich warm colors. I'm really eclectic though because I love the look of modern furniture and I love bright colors. I just want my room to be a place I can unwind."
" I understand completely. Can we stop by your house so Rosalie and I can get an idea of what you'll need?"
"Sure but I practically need everything. The only thing I think I'm keeping right now is the rocking chair. It needs to be sanded down and re-stained though."
"Oh Jasper can do that. He's real good with furniture. He built me an armoire for my shoes."
"Really that would be great. I can pay him for his help."
"Nonsense your my friend he'll do it to help out besides Carlisle would kill him if he accepted money. I mean Carlisle makes good money working at the hospital there's no need for you to pay Jasper."
"Carlisle that's your dad?"
"Adoptive dad and Esme is our adoptive mother. We usually call them by their first names it's just more comfortable for us."
"I understand. I call my dad and mom by their first name's and I'm not even adopted."
"You know Bella I believe me and you are going to be best friends." Alice said with a smile.
I smiled back at her and gathered my belongings as the coaches directed the students to hit the locker room to change clothes.
"I'm going to take my papers to the front desk. Do you want to meet me there?"
"Why don't you meet me at the parking lot? Rosalie drives a red convertible you can't miss it."
"Sounds good. I'll call my dad and let him know where I'll be."
"See you then." Alice said as she made her way into the girl's locker room and I headed out doors. It was lightly drizzling so I was glad I had a ride around town.

AN: This chapter did not turn out like I thought it would. I hope the next chapter will have more Bella and Edward interaction. The next chapter will probably begin in one of the Cullen's POV. I know for sure there will be an argument with Edward and Alice, some good girl bonding in shopping, and hopefully a some fireworks between Edward and Bella. Please note I'm not sure when I'll get the next chapter posted. Review and maybe it will get my juices flowing. Only one person has reviewed my story but I've had over 60 hits. If you hate it let me know so maybe I can work on my weak points.
