Betrayal

Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3

The past two days went past really quickly. I don't really mind though, I can't wait to start junior year. Alice and I had gotten our timetables over the weekend. I've got 6 subjects altogether: AP English, AP Biology, Trigonometry, Spanish, Gym and Art. Alice and I have only got 2 subjects together (Spanish and Gym) and we're both gutted about it but oh well.

I woke up early on Monday morning to find out that Alice have already picked out my outfit for the day like she usually does. One of the great things about Alice is she's got an amazing fashion sense and she knows the kind of clothes that I like and that suit me. She doesn't force me to wear mini skirts and really tight tops which I'm incredibly thankful for cos I don't really feel comfortable in them. And besides I most probably won't win that argument. Alice can be really scary and persuasive when she wants to be.

"Morning Al," She's already dressed up and currently applying her make-up.

"Morning Bells! Aren't you just excited!?" I rolled my eyes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Only Alice would be so damn happy at 8 in the morning.

After I had a shower I quickly put my clothes on and brushed my hair, ready to go. But Alice insisted on putting make-up on me since I don't normally wear any. I just cannot be asked fussing about what colour eyeshadow would go with my top like some other girls do. Since I didn't want to argue with her today I just let her. I was pleased to find out that she didn't go overboard and only applied eyeliner and mascara. It was 8:45 and we've got 15 minutes left till class starts so we headed off to the dining hall to get some breakfast.

Alice has Trig first and I've got AP English so we said goodbye and went off in different directions.

I found our classroom and there are only 2 people in the room since there's 5 minutes left of breakfast. I started thinking about the past 3 years I spent here and they've been pretty much the same and I just have a gut feeling that this year will be different somehow. I really spend too much time with Alice!

People started piling in one by one in the classroom. Mr. Mason arrived exactly after the bell. He handed us the syllabus for the year and list of authors we would be looking at: William Shakespeare, Mary Shelley, John Steinbeck and Jane Austen. I was secretly pleased because I've read most of their novels. This class should be a piece of cake.

Ten minutes into the lesson Edward Cullen walked in.

"Nice of you to turn up to my class Mr. Cullen," Obviously from the expression on Mr. Mason's face he's not very impressed.

"Sorry Mr. M I got held up!" He said with a grin plastered on his face.

I don't even want to know what he'd been doing. His bronze-coloured hair is messier than normal as though somebody have been running their fingers through it.

"Not a very good start of the year is it Mr. Cullen? I expect you to be in my lesson on time everyday from now on or it will be week's worth of detention! And it's Mr. Mason to you. Now go seat down beside Ms. Swan."

Idiot. He sure knows how to piss a teacher off.

"Where?" He looked confused. Great! Just another proof of how aloof and invisible I've been over the years. Either that or he's a bigger moron than I thought. I mean we've had classes together before so he should at least recognize me! We've never talked though and he's always sat across the room from me. Still.

"The empty seat at the back of the class Mr. Cullen!"

He finally found his seat, genius that he is, and flashed me his famous crooked smile, "Hey, are you new?"
