You
may
have noticed by now that Bella's a bit of a bxtch. You would be
correct. So, this is one week later from the last chapter, and the
students are getting letters from their tutors, as they'll be off
on a school trip. (: ENJOYY!
I don't own anything or anyone in
this chapter.
Bella's
POV.
One Week Later.
I
hadn't been to school in an entire week. I wondered how many people
would of been worried about me, Jessica had tried to call me a bunch
of times, but stopped after the third day, Rosalie; none, Jake; nada.
I stepped through the door to my form room with a big smile on my
face, but stopped. Everyone turned and stared. Even Rosalie and Jess.
I stared back. Don't let
them see your depression. I
thought. I sauntered to the back of the room to Rose.
"Hi?"
"...Hello?" She raised an eyebrow. Did I look
different, or something?
"It's Bella."
"I see that."
Her jaw was taut, and she kept darting her eyes around, like she was
embarrassed.
"Right then. I see how it is. Thanks." I went to
the front of the classroom, and threw myself in one of the seats. I
was aware of Edward Cullen watching me. Irritation filled my brain.
"Take a picture. It lasts longer." My voice whipped out,
painfully.
"Sorry." He murmured, and put his head down.
The
bell rang, and I made my way slowly to Biology. Slower than anyone
else, my high heels clicked every time I slapped them on the floor.
Click. .
I tapped on the door when I arrived, as the
class was already 10 minutes in.
"Come in. Ahh Bella, how lovely
for you to join us. Take a seat by Alice, there's no more seats."
I did so as he told me to, without arguing. The class gasped in
disbelieve.
"Oh shut your pie holes, its only Alice." Now, I
know what you're thinking. How is Alice in that class? Well, she's
so brainy, she had to skip to Sophomore year. No one bothers her,
really, they just don't talk to her.
"Thank you." She
whispered. I nodded stiffly.
"Okay then, Alice, Bella, if
you're done talking, I will finish what I was saying."
"Oh
please do." I smiled. Rebel. He glared in my direction.
"Were
off on a field trip. To France." The class erupted in cheers. "All
of you will need to get permission from your parent or guardian.
You'll also have to enclose $300.00 for the plane there."
Brilliant.
"On the letter, there is a list of appliances that
you'll need to get once you're certain you're going. Okay?
Class dismissed." Each one of us snatched a letter on our way out.
"So, you wanna' go shopping with me and Edward when we go?
Edward's friend is coming, too. I could use a girl's opinion."
I was being asked to a mall by a freshman. Oh well. A malls a
mall.
"Why not. When are we off?"
"Well, how about
tomorrow? We'll come pick you up in our car. I think Edward knows
where you live." Ew. Creepy.
"Sure. See you." I turned
away.
"Uh, Bella?"
"Edward?" I turned back.
"Who're
you sitting with at lunch?" Oh no. Oh no oh no. Tell them
something, quick! Say you're not staying for lunch!
"No one,
why?" I am a failure.
"You wanna' sit with us? We don't
bite, promise." He grinned. He had a nice smile, and he wasn't
all
that ugly. He had nice hair and eyes, and a good jawline.
"Of
course. Thanks." He started walking with me to my next class.
Funnily enough, I had it with him. Equestrian studies, nice. Edward
on a horse...AHAHAHHAHA!
So we arrived, picked our usual horses,
and mounted. (NOT like that.)
I felt myself on a horse. Not myself
who freaks out when a boy spits on her. Myself. The one I grew up as,
but then changed as mum fell ill. I was pretty good, I could do the
high jumps, I could easily get into a gallop, it was all natural to
me.
I glanced across at Rosalie half way through the lesson. She
was yelling at the teacher's assistant.
"No! I will not get
on this filthy thing!
You can't make me!" She shrieked. I giggled, and made my horse
trot on. At the end of the lesson, we all dismounted. I patted my
horse goodbye, and went to go change in the changing rooms. I put on
some spare joggers and a big hoodie with ugg boots. I touched up my
make up, then left, glancing behind me at Jessica still getting into
her clothes. Pillock.
As
the bell rang for lunch, I skipped towards the hall.
Funnily
enough, no one was there except Edward, his blonde, curly haired
friend, and Alice. They waved to me.
"Hi." I sat down.
"Hey." Edward grinned.
"SO. We were just speaking, and
a bunch of our relatives are coming over tonight. You wanna' come?"
She asked me and the blonde haired boy, who I picked up as being
called Jasper.
"Umm. Sure. I'll have to go home and tell my
dad and get changed, but sure. What should I wear?"
"Something
nice." She shouldn't of said that. I would take about 2 hours
when I got home raking through my step-in wardrobe. In fact, I might
as well go after lunch.
"Kay. I'll go home after lunch to
find something."
Edward's jaw dropped.
"What?"
"You
can't skive!" All three of them shrieked.
"I so
can. You lot need to get out more."
"Aww, gee, thanks!"
Jasper gushed, wafting his hand about in a gay gesture. We laughed in
response. Especially Alice. Aww, geek love!
End of Lunch.
"Bye
guys!" I waved, edging towards my car.
"BELLA! WAIT! I'LL
COME!" Alice was following behind me.
"Okay.. If you
want."
"Can you do me a favour?" Her eyes were wide and
innocent.
"That depends on what you want."
"...Can you
lend me some clothes and do my face? I wanna'... impress people."
"You mean Jasper." She nodded sheepishly. Probably thought I
was psychic or something. I snorted, and nodded.
