First Quarter (twilight fanfiction)

Three days til beginning

Even with all the mind preparing, I doubt I'm ready for her to show up. Nobody is showing any care except newspaper club, and even then it was starting off as a small column. Mike isn't acting all prideful, he isn't talking up about how he will win her over. Eric isn't spending over time on his project, Jess isn't worried about mike, and Angela is the same as ever. Even offered me her lunch and was asking tips about how I did my hair this morning. every now and then students would ask the regular questions like, "I wonder if she is hot", or gossip about where she is coming from.

Even the Cullens were fine, none of them were acting up in their usual vampire ways. Lunch was the same, a small stare down and a missing table the moment I turn my head.

When I finally made it to biology, Edward was just walking in...late?

Normally he was just sitting there as if he was spawned there for setting purposes, but he walked in late right before me. I felt my face sweat a bit at the weird realistic vibe coming from him. It might just be because I know this is the world of a angsty vampire romance, but I always felt a border between me and accepting this world as real, feeling as though these..'people' are just as fake and delusional as any other movie or book characters. "Miss Damsel? Aren't you going to sit down" Mr Molina had asked, my train of thought seized and I felt Edward's eyes turn to my figure, he was much taller than me by about 7 inches. If that wasn't enough, I knew damn well he could read me. I willed myself to act normal as if I didn't know what he was or who he was. I walked past him to a seat, his face seeming confused. *why are you still staring? You aren't curious about me* it was definitely wishful thinking, I've been doing a lot of that lately. Mr Molina rolled his eyes and scoffed, asking Edward to also take his seat. When everybody was present he began his lesson, of course I wasn't understanding any of it. Out of all subjects, I would rather this one burn to a crisp. My head rested on my arms, I was too tired lately to do anything. This stress and anxiety of my situation was getting to me, and I knew it would eventually.

"Miss Damsel, would you like to answer this question for me" shit-

I slowly lifted my head, my hair sticking to my mouth. Students were looking at me, some even giggling or laughing. "Me"? He nodded, "yes you, since you're laying your head down and sleeping, I guess you probably know the answer to this question".

Great, I slowly stood up and walked to the front of the class. On the board was a single sentence question, "how can we improve our environmental health"?

I wouldn't know, I didn't know we even had a problem except for our frog's reproductive systems. "Was I wrong in my assumption Miss Damsel"? I had two options, to either embarrass myself and make up a completely guesswork answer, or I could embarrass myself and tell him I don't know. Either way I was going to make a fool of myself and be the talk of the school for a single day. My face slowly heated up, "I- um. I'm not sure.."

He looked at me with a very straight expression, "are you sure? I thought it was a pretty good guess that you could answer"

My sanity was thin, "I don't know" I said louder, two female students were laughing and poking each other at the front. I scanned the class, Edward had no interest in what was going on. The teacher just shook his head, obviously in disappointment. "Let's speak after class Miss Damsel". I only nodded and made my way back to my seat. The rest of the class went by slow, and finally near the end he stopped the lecture and turned onto a new subject.

"Alright guys I'm sure you are all eager for prom that's coming up" he said, the projector turning to a slideshow. My head perked up, prom was the ending of the first book. Girls were giggling, guys sending them looks as if to ask them out. Mr. Molina asked everyone to calm down, "We still have over 5 months until prom, and in these 5 months I have a major project for you guys" oh great, as if I wasn't already bored.
