Bella's POV

When everyone got back, I stayed in my room while Esme talked to them. This was one thing I couldn't talk Esme out of, and since I couldn't do that I told her not to tell them I tried to commit suicide.

The next day, I went to school and all eyes were on me. I was bombarded with questions all day asking why I left and if Edward being with Tanya was the reason.

Alice had gotten to most of them. I knew because some people asked my if I left because I cheated. Alice had no right and it was starting to get annoying. I really wasn't any of their business and I didn't even know some of the people that harrassed me all day about the situation. It got to the point where I had to hide in the bathroom until the tardy bells rung.

I still had my old classes, but I was so lost. Nothing made sense anymore. Math was the worst. Everyone around me got what the teacher was doing except me. We even had a pop quiz. I had no idea what to do with the equations so I just put my name on the test paper and handed it in. The teahcer looked disappointed. She wrote a zero on my paper and told me I should study harder and do homework. I nodded, walked back to my desk, and put my head in my hands. I should have never dropped out.

What was I gonna do with my life? If I don't graduate this year, I'll be a drop out for sure.

I looked around the room and saw Mike staring at me. He looked down and blushed when he saw me looking. Maybe I could live with him and his family. I snorted. Who was I kidding. Mike is a pervert and I was still really pissed off at him for costing me my job and not even owning up to it.

Maybe Angela. She was my only real friend nowadays. Still talked to me in the halls, sat with me at lunch, and asked for my advice on things. She was a great person, but I couldn't take advanage of her by invading her home.

I was so happy when it was time to go home, I practially skipped out the door. I was supposed to be riding home in Rosalie's BMW with the rest but when I got outside to the parking lot, they were already speeding away without me. I could hear Tanya's high pitched giggle fading away.

I know they did this on purpose and I should have known from the start that this would happen. I sighed and sat down on the curb. It would be useless to walk when the Cullens lived so far away. It would only be a matter of time before they got home and Esme realize they left me.

It had been ten minutes and not one car had rode by when suddenly, a man walked up to me. He looked familiar...
