CHAPTER 3

My cell phone was buzzing and I reluctantly picked it up, "What?"

"Is, time to wake up," my Mom said.

"Even when you're not here, you're still here."

She laughed, "Come on Is, rise and shine."

"What makes you think I'm not already up?"

"Because you are cranky. Is, I may not be as powerful as you are, but no power can compare to being a mother."

"Says a mother whose power can't compare to The Killer's."

"Hey!"

"Sorry Mom, couldn't help myself." I smiled at the joke.

"Get up and remember, stand out."

"Got it Mom."

"Your Dad says have a good first day." Thanks Dad, I pushed the thought to my Dad. "He got your pushed message."

"Of course he did. Bye Mom." Bye Dad, I pushed towards Dad.

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. My PJs only consisted of Victoria Secret's lingerie. I don't understand the purpose of PJs. You're already under blankets, you're already covered up, no need to wear extra layering. Your blankets are already keeping you warm enough.

I was in a rush, so I circled my index finger quickly, causing my whole outfit to walk from the closet and go in the bathroom. My curler floating out of the cabinet and plugging itself in; my toothbrush going to its cup and having the cup filled up with water; and everything else needed to get ready in the morning.

After a half hour, I was ready for school; I just needed to eat breakfast to be ready. I looked like a sexy biker girl because I wanted to ride my motorcycle to school today. I decided to wear a dark wash Miss Me jeans, a purple ruffle blouse with the top few buttons unbuttoned, a black tank top underneath, my Victoria Secret's black leather motorcycle jacket, and my black Calvin Klein closed almond-toed heels. My makeup was perfect and I achieved beach waves in my hair. I looked sexy. I have to stand out.

I grabbed a bagel and ate it quickly. I grabbed my bright yellow Marc Jacobs big swing pack to fit all my books and stuff, and out the door I went.

The ride to FHS was faster than I thought. It's probably because I rode really fast and the distance wasn't too far. Plus, the school wasn't too difficult to find either. It was off the road and had the sign "Forks High School," which caused me to turn and enter.

Just as I entered, students' head turned toward my way. I was making my entrance.

"Woah look at that bike…"

"…is that the new kid?" Wow, word travels fast.

"…is that a guy or a girl?"

"…someone is definitely going to jack that bike…"

And the whispers went on and on.

I parked the farthest spot available and noticed all of the other student's cars. They were all old and used, except for the Volvo that was in the closest corner. I swung a leg over my bike, in the sexiest way I knew how (A/N: Think of Megan Fox in Transformers 2), stood on my heels and got off the bike. I took off my helmet, letting down my cascading long brown hair, flipping it back and forth, and put my helmet in the small compartment behind the bike. I smoothed down my whole outfit while putting up my shield, to protect me from the vamps using their powers on me. Yup, I was definitely making my entrance.

I went over the blueprints of FHS before I went to bed last night, so the school was self-explanatory to me. As I walked down the parking lot, in the hottest way I could, more students' heads were turned. They were all watching me. Perfect.

I heard a football spiraling towards the side of my face. A young boy yelled, "Heads up!" and I caught the football immediately, with only 1 inch between me and the ball.

I held up the football and waved it, shouting "Whose ball?" I see the football team waving over to me, with their football jackets on.

Just when I was about the throw the football, I see a football player with his letterman jacket, baby-faced boy, his pale blonde hair, smiling friendly and jogging up to me. "Hey, sorry about that. You must be the new girl, right?"

"That's me," I tried to put on the cutest smile ever.

"I'm Mike."

"Hi Mike. I'm Bella."

"Bella." He nodded, smiling.

"So, came here to retrieve the football? Or was it to give you an excuse to introduce yourself to the new girl?"

I think he was catching on that I was "flirting" with him a bit. Don't take it too far Mike, it's just flirting. "Well, would it be so bad for me to see you up close?"

"Oh, do be careful with what you say Mike. You might make me think that I have a chance with you."

"You might…"

"Anyways, do you think that just because I'm a girl, I can't throw a football?"

"Hey, I was just trying to save you the trouble."

"Next time? Don't judge a book by its cover." I then forcefully threw the football across the parking lot, causing the boy who had to catch it to step back a few inches to get a good grip on the football.

Mike whistled, "Wow, we may need you on the football team."

"For your team's sake, Mike, I may consider joining." I smiled and I could tell that I got him hopeful. Shit. You weren't supposed to get that hopeful. "Well anyways, it was nice meeting you, Mike. I'll see you around?"

"Bet on it." We both smiled and I walked away, never looking back. As I got closer to the school, I overheard Mike's conversation with his teammates.

"Dude, she is so hot! Who is she?"

"Bella, the girl I'm falling for." I snorted at Mike's stupid comment. I was barely flirting with Mike.

"She's like, perfect. A hot girl who can ride a sweet ride and throw a football? Man, they sure don't make them that good nowadays."

"Man, just shut it." Mike demanded.

Okay so I got the football team around my finger…

I walked inside the building and headed straight toward the main office. A red-haired woman, with wrinkles and crows feet, looked up. "Can I help you?"

"Yes. Hi, I'm a new student here. I was wondering…"

"Are you Bella Swan?"

"Yes," I smiled sweetly at her.

"Of course. I have your schedule for you and here is a map of the school."

"Thank you." I glanced at my schedule, but I barely looked at the map.

I'm also going to give you another slip for your teachers. Have each of your teachers sign their name, that way we know you're finding the right places. Give it back to me at the end of the day."

"Okay," I nodded and left.

I walked out of the office, and all of a sudden, an Asian chess-club-type boy walked down the hall with me. He looked overly helpful. "You're Bella Swan, right?"

"Wow, word travels fast around here. I just told this one guy my name, and now you know too?"

"One thing you learn around here: nothing is a secret."

"Got it."

"Anyways, I'm Eric, the eyes and ears of this place. Do you need anything? Tour guide? Lunch date? Shoulder to cry on?"

"No thanks to the tour guide and rain check with your shoulder." I saw his face fall. "I will, however, take that lunch date. I don't want to sit alone during my first day."

I saw his face lift up a bit. "Great. I'll see you in the lunch room."

"Totally," I smiled, I waved, I left. Good riddance…for now.
