Chapter 2

BPOV

When we got to school Alice jumped out of the car and went over to greet some of her friends. They were all squealing with delight and excitement for seeing each other again after the long summer holidays. I smiled at the sight and looked around. Everywhere around the parking lot people were greeting their friends and talking excitedly. I felt like such an outsider. I was going to have to make friends all over again. And it was going to be harder this time seeing as I would be 2 years younger than the people in my grade. I didn't care though. This was my year and I was determined to make it the best year ever.

With that last thought I held my chin up high and started walking towards the school entrance. A few students noticed me and whispered to their friends rather loudly about how they were surprised to see me back in Forks. There were some nasty remarks about how I was a "snob" and "sucked up to teachers" which really wasn't true at all. I wouldn't call doing my homework on time and answering questions in class sucking up. I heard some people say how they heard I was in senior year. They said it with so much spite and jealousy. I guess being overly smart did have its disadvantages sometimes.

I tried to ignore some people's stares and made my way to my assigned locker to put some of my stuff inside and then headed to my first period. Most people were already there talking to the people around them. The talking stopped as soon as I stepped inside the room. Everyone was just staring at me (or glaring) as I looked around the class for an empty spot. I went up to one seat and was about to ask the girl in the seat next to it if I could sit there when she spoke first

"This seats taken," she said as she put her leg on the chair.

I nodded and started making my way to a different seat

"Also taken," a boy told me putting his books on the chair.

I looked for another one

"Nope. Try again"

"Taken"

"Someone's sitting here"

I looked around dejectedly for an open seat when a girl in the back spoke up.

"You can sit here," she said giving me a small smile as she gestured to the seat next to her.

Some of the other students rolled their eyes at her antics and some muttered rude stuff about her. I smiled gratefully at her and started walking to the empty desk when someone tripped me. I lost my balance and fell down to the floor. Everyone broke into laughter. I blushed crimson and tried not to look like their laughter had affected me as I got up and walked to the empty seat in the back.

"Ignore them," the girl sitting next to me said.

I nodded my head and started unpacking my books. More people were starting to come into the room and filling up the other empty seats.

"I'm Kate, by the way," she said with a sincere smile. It was infectious and I found myself smiling back at her.

"I'm Bella," I said politely.

The teacher then came in to start his lesson.

"Good morning students and welcome back for your last year of high school!" he said this with so much energy that some people cheered, excited that they would soon be finished with school. He seemed like a fun teacher.

"Alright, settle down," he said after a few moments. "Your first assignment is to write a 12 page short story on absolutely any topic that you want. Get the creative juices flowing. It must be typed on a computer with writing format Arial and size 12. Single spaced. I will be taking them in next week Friday. You may use the rest of this period to start thinking of ideas and jotting them down. Use your phones to google anything that might help you but if I see a single person texting then you will be forced to hand your phones. I don't want to hear a single word." And with that said he moved to his desk and began working on some other stuff. So maybe he wasn't all fun...

There were some groans in the class when he started explaining the assignment and some people pulling out their phones almost immediately after he said they could use them. I wrote down everything he said and then took out some paper to start jotting down ideas. I loved creative writing. I had dreamt about becoming an author but decided to do it once I've got enough money and a stable career. Right now writing was just a hobby for me.

All too soon the bell rang. I packed up my stuff and was about to get up and leave when Kate(?) called my name. I turned to look at her,

"Yes?" I asked.

"If you need help finding a seat at lunch then you can always sit with me," she said sincerely.

I smiled and nodded my head. Yay! I think I just made a friend! the voice inside my head said jumping up and down. We said our goodbyes and headed to our different classes. The next 3 periods was pretty much a repeat of my first class except there wasn't a Kate to let me sit next to her. Everyone shut me down and I ended up sitting alone. It was fine though because it just meant that there wasn't anyone to distract me from my work. Unless I finished my work early. Which is exactly what happened in accounting...

The teacher just gave us some ledgers and journals to complete and then went on facebook. That's right, she spent the entire lesson looking at other people's profiles and pictures on facebook. She seemed to spend a particularly long time on a young accountants profile... Cougar! I hope she won't do this for every lesson because the work she gave us was really quite boring. I swear it was meant for sophomores. I finished it easily in 10 minutes. I looked around and noticed that everyone else was still busy and some even looked to be struggling! I watched as several students struggled to finish the work for the rest of the period.

By the time the bell rang I was just about dying with boredom! I packed up my stuff so quickly and shot out of that classroom. I made my way to my locker as I started to think about where I would sit at lunch. I had originally planned on sitting with Emmett but I wasn't so sure anymore. I wanted to find Kate and sit with her but what if her friends weren't as welcoming as she was? I mentally crossed off that option from my list. I could sit by myself... Or I could sit with Alice. Some of her friends had been my friends before I left for England. But there was a voice in the back of my head telling me that it was a bad idea. I sighed to myself and decided to just go to the cafeteria and see what happens...

So, what did you think? I know its moving a bit slow but it will pick up speed later!

IMPORTANT!
So, as I said I was just going to put up 3 chapters as a tester and then decide whether or not to continue.
DO YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE?
If you do then please REVIEW and tell me and I'll decide from there.

If you all like this story then I'll continue!
