I woke up the next day to the annoying sound of my alarm clock. I slammed my hand down on the snooze button and hauled myself from the warm comfort of my welcoming bed to get dressed. I slipped on my red skinny jeans and pulled my Falling In Reverse band t-shirt over my head.
I walked into my bathroom, brushed my teeth, straightened my dirty blonde hair with blonde highlights and hurried back into my room.
"Crap, need socks" I stared down at my small bare feet
I dug in my drawer and pulled out a black sock with purple poka-dots and a neon pink sock and pulled them on my feet. I slipped on my black converse, tying the green laces and grabbed my book bag and hoodie and ran down the stairs. I ended up slipping on the last step and fell on my ass.
"Owie" I whined, rubbing my throbbing butt
"A-are..y-you o-okay?" Dad asked in between his hearty chuckles
I growled but it only came out as a gurgle. Dad only laughed harder, helping me up.
"Its not funny!" I shouted, storming into the kitchen
"Aren't you going to eat breakfast?" Bella asked when I walked right past the laid out breakfast
I shook my head and grabbed the orange juice from the fridge. I got a glass cup and poured me some juice and got out my pills.
"What's that for" I heard dad ask as I popped my pill in my mouth and downed it with orange juice.
"Alexia went through a really bad depression and she still has trouble with cutting and suicidal thoughts so she takes anti-depressant" Bella explained sadly
I inwardly flinched, pulling my left arm underneath my sleeve to hide the scars on my wrist.
"Time to go Bells" I said, pretending like nothing ever happened
Ignoring my growling stomach, I walked outside to our truck with Bella right behind me. I got in the passenger side while Bella got in the drivers side and started the truck. I placed my head on the cold window, watching the trees fly by on our way to our new high school.
"Forks High School. Home of the Spartans" read the sign as we pulled in to the parking lot.
Greeat.
Bella pulled in to a space and we both got out.
"Nice ride" a dark-skinned boy snickered
"Thanks" Bella mumbled
I just shyed away from the situation, avoiding confrontation. I followed Bella to the office to get our scedules.
"Hello, miss. I'm Isabella Swan and this is Alexia Swan. We're the new students." Bella said to the lady behind the desk.
"Oh, hello dearies. Here are your schedules" she handed us two seperate papers.
Bella gave a polite thank you while I just nodded my head. Bella handed me my schedule.
"Well we have biology and literature together" Bella told me, sighing
"Good luck Alex" she gave my shoulder a reasurring squeeze before leaving my side
I sighed, looking around the unfamiliar hallways before traveling down to find my homeroom.
Room 234
Finally found it..
I placed my hand on the door knob and took a deep breath.
"Here goes nothing" I whispered and opened the door.
"May I help you?" the teacher asked
The teacher was a fairly young lady, probably in her late 30s. She looked to be about 3 months pregnant.
"Um..I'm Alexia Swan..I-I'm the new student" I told her shyly
The teacher gave me a tender smile and motioned me towards her.
"I'm Mrs. Shaffer, welcome" she shook my hand and stood up.
"Class, this is the new student, Alexia Swan, treat her nicely, you all know how it was as a new student" Mrs. Shaffer instructed.
"Now Miss Swan, your seat will be right next to Mr. Cullen" Mrs. Shaffer pointed over to the only empty seat in the room.
Next to the empty seat was a boy about 17. His skin was a light tan and you could see his firm muscles underneath the tight fitted black t-shirt. His hair was a wavy dark brown that went below his ears. His black skinny jeans hugged his legs, it had saspenders and chains on them. I quitely made my way over, watching my feet as they went, making sure I wouldn't fall on my first day.
I gently placed my things down and sat down at the desk. The boy moved away from me, looking the other way, his jaw clearly clenched. An awkward feeling settled in my stomach as I tentively scooted away as well.
Throughout homeroom, the boy flexed his muscles as he clenched his fist tightly, I couldn't help but stare at the defined muscles. He noticed me staring and glared. I felt my face get hot and I quickly looked away.
Finally, the bell had rang and everyone jumped out of their seats, eager to get on with the day so they could go home. I gathered my stuff quickly and soon blended with the other students to avoid the boy. There was something about him that frightened me, yet attracted me.
