"This is a summary of my first day of Forks High School:
Spanish: Boring
American History: Boring
Gym: Boring
...OK,Ok, here's a more detailed summary of my first day of Forks High School:
Spanish: Boring; No one approached me or Jacob
American History: Boring; same as Spanish
Gym: Boring; same as other 2 classes, gym teacher just explained rules of tennis
Earth Science: Boring; same as rest of morning
Computer Apps: Pretty boring; other than that the computer kept freezing up - they were old. It was the first class I had that Jacob didn't...
Lunch: After Computer Apps, a girl named Amanda offered to go to lunch with me; I did. She talked a lot and introduced me to her friends, and when Jacob joined us no one talked anymore - it was awkward.
Algebra: Boring; same as early morning
English: Jacob wasn't in English with me and Amanda sat by me...
...so? Do I have to go back tomorrow?"
To my surprise, it was Bella that spoke, "Yes" at the same time as Edward.
What?
"You've only gone one day... you've got to try it longer!"
I scowled. Both against me. Bella, at least, was supposed to be on my side.
"Jacob had fun," Edward said.
I rolled my eyes. That was just Jacob.
Edward grinned.
In a huff, I stalked off to my room in our house (Not the mansion - Edward, Bella and I lived in a little cottage too...) and stayed locked in my room all night. I didn't feel like sleeping at first. I don't really need to sleep, but it's nice. Actually, it's one of my favorite things to do, normally. But not tonight. I was a little preocupied. On our first day, we didn't get any homework so I didn't have to worry about that.
I stared at the wall for a while, rethinking the day and not daring to hope that the next four years of it would be any better.
Eventually, I did fall asleep.
"Nessie, wake up! You've got to go to school." I groaned. School. Yuck.
I did get up though. Alice had waken me up.
"Come on, we've got to get you ready for your second day!" She smiled.
"Alice, the first day is the only one anybody ever dresses up for - not the second too!" Alice waved off my comment, "Yeah well, you are related to me and since Bella isn't going anywhere special, I'll get you ready!"
I rolled my eyes and gave in.
"You know Alice, it's not really fair that you always get to do this kind of stuff, and I never do..."
Alice grinned.
"Yeah, well I was born first."
She dragged me to my closet and picked out a deep blue shirt, a sparkly two-shades-of-blue scarf, and a pair of designer jeans. She put my hair up into a French Braid and hung big silver loops through my ears. She put my feet into tall black lace-up boots. Then she applied bronzier to my skin so that I'd look a little less pale.
"Perfect!" she squealed.
Anyway, my second day passed pretty much just like the first day. I sat by Amanda and her friends at lunch again, only this time people didn't stare at us quite as much as the previous day. People talked at lunch, even after Jacob joined us. A boy named Jace asked if I was going out with Jacob and I told that I kind of was. I mean, what was I supposed to say? He imprinted on me? That would be just a little weird. Anyway, no other guys talked to me. I guess they were still afraid of Jacob.
Oh, I realized that Amanda has a crush on Jacob. That was weird. Even though I knew that Jacob wouldn't give her the time of day, I still felt jealous.
My supposed third day was cancelled. It was sunny out, so I went hunting with Emmett instead. I have to admit, I was curious as to how Jacob was faring in school right then. Yet, I was definitly relieved to not have to endure hours of boredom again. Yeah, I was grateful for the break.
Hunting with Emmett was always fun. He was crazy and fun. He was like an older brother to me.
When we got back, Bella and Edward were waiting for us. Bella was pacing; a human habit she hadn't gotten rid of with her transformation.
Edward was standing very still; he was incredibly like a statue.
Something was wrong. That much was obvious.
"Hey, guys, 'sup?" Emmett asked, "We had loads of fun!"
I put my hand on my mom's shoulder.
What's wrong? I put anxiety into my thought.
She bit her lip.
"It's Jacob..."
What? What happened? What could happen? Jacob was almost as indestructible as me!
"He... He was hit by a semi."
A semi. Ouch. But the worst that could happen was that he be in pain for a few days, right? He couldn't have died from that!
Is he alright? Is he here? Where's Carlisle?
Bella looked away.
"He- he'll be alright, Reneseme. He's not here, but Carlisle is with him."
Well good, then everything is OK. Right? Why do you seem so worried?
Emmett seemed just as confused as me.
"Nessie, he - the semi driver was fine. He had a cell phone. He thought he'd killed Jacob. He - he called an ambulance, Nessie."
An ambulance. As in, to that hospital. Where there were other humans. Humans that probably wondered why Jacob's body temperature didn't mean he was dead. Humans that probably wondered why Jacob wasn't dead from the crash. Humans that probably were amazed at the recovery rate of Jacob's injuries. Humans that probably were wondering why he was so hard. Not good. Jacob was at a hospital.
"Carlisle is trying to keep them from finding out too much, Nessie, but there's a good chance that they might find out something. Jacob is in no condition to be moved. So far he's been refusing to let anyone but Carlisle treat him, but the doctors are getting impatient. They don't want to be sued if Jacob died because only one doctor was treating him..."
I barely heard Edward. One question ran through my mind first:
Was Jacob in a lot of pain? Probably. That made my heart ache. But then another question ran through my brain too; it was ominous, foreboding:
Was the secret out?
Author's Note: I know that this isn't the greatest either, but please review! I hope you enjoyed it!
