First Quarter (twilight fanfiction)

Mr, Molina doesnt help

Classes flew by and lunch was about as busy and scary as ever, seeing as Rosalina didn't even bother to stare at her today like they normally pick and stare at people today. My food was mediocre so I didn't even think to finish it today, the group was playing around as usual and Mike and Eric were acting weirdly. "I heard she is smarter than most people our age" Eric said, sighing like a boy in love. Mike laughed and pushed him, "yeah dude! Smart enough to know you're not the one"! Eric slapped his hand away. "You don't know that! She might just like someone a little more mature than you"

They just continued their bickering while Angela and Jess both stopped eating their lunches. I really felt bad for them, they didn't know it was the plot, they probably don't even know that they are always gonna be the second pick. Thinking back on it though, my character never existed in the group. I showed up one day as if it were normal and it's been like that since, Jess and Angela talk to me like they have known me since day one. Mike and Eric both play around and wrestle me like I'm their sister, yet when the book starts there isn't even a mention of my character. Not even the movies say anything, so I've been curious as to who Emery Damsel is. Maybe a character who was thrown away for the quality of the plot, or someone who just wasn't worth mentioning when the heroine arrives. I sighed, looking over to the Cullens table. There I had finally seen Rosalie looking at me, I smiled and turned back. I didn't wanna wave as to not cause attention on her by the species she hates most. As soon as I turned the others flooded her with looks and Emmett seemed to have questions. My lunch seemed even more unenjoyable, so I opted to give it to one of the boys. Mike and Eric again now fighting over my lunch.

"So I was wondering if you guys are interested in prom", Angela spoke up. Eric stopped and looked at her and Jess just smiled, "angel girl, you know how innocent you are"? Angela just kinda bit her lip and looked away, her eyes shooting a look over to Eric but the poor boy didn't notice. Jess and I only laughed, I wanted to speak up to the boys about them taking both girls out to prom but it wasn't their time yet.

"Speaking of, Em, do you have anyone in mind"? Jess questioned, I only laughed and shook my head no. "None of the boys here have any of my interests right now" I told them blankly, they only laughed. "I'm fully expecting some CEO of a big company to waltz in here and ask for your hand in marriage" Angela laughed, Jess nodding in agreement. "You're definitely the type to catch their eye, seeing how spontaneous and outgoing you are these days" Jess added on. "Please, she is way to stuck up to let anyone try with her", we all looked over to Mike, who was chowing down on the pizza I graciously handed him. I went over the table and slapped it out of his hands and onto his lap. "My pizza"!

When class had finally started, I had just made my way into the room. Mr. Molina just nodded in obvious disapproval, it wasn't my fault I still haven't gotten used to the times and the lockers and just everything! I still ask for directions when driving. The curriculum I was working on was way over my level!! I had to embarrassingly ask my math teacher to explain so much because I was even more embarrassed to ask her to bring me down a few lessons. I just sighed and went back to my seat in the way back, Edward was there sitting in his usual spot. He wasn't even looking forward to the lesson and of course our teacher didn't care, must be nice to be the main character of the book and get away with so much. Him sitting there having idea sorta pissed me off, he is the male lead and he gets his life handed to him. I only bit my lip to hold back the anger, I didn't want him reading my thoughts by accident so it's best if I don't get over heated.

Ever since the other day ago, when Mr. Molina had me come after class, I feel like he has had his eye on me. Probably trying to figure out if something was upsetting me or causing me to lose track. I worked on the paper he handed out.

"Alright students"! He clapped loudly, gathering everyone's attention. It was probably 15 minutes into class, "we will be splitting up into groups of 2" some groaned, some got excited. I already knew I wouldn't have anyone to help, not anyone seemed friendly towards me since I've come into the world as Emery. Proving that only the group I hangout with now seems okay with me.

I stood up, looking around to see if anyone had an opening. And when I did walk up to some who seemed open they just moved. I definitely wasn't used to this, I'm a very friendly and outgoing person, in my opinion. When my mother would bring her friends downstairs for book clubs, they would always enjoy a conversation with me. When I was allowed outside, I always had some stranger to talk to since I'm such an easy person. I only sighed, sitting back down in my seat. I was content for a moment, doing my work by myself uninterrupted. That was until Mr. Molina walked up to my desk, "follow me please" he nodded to follow him, I got up and did just that, yet I felt the doom feeling when we were making our way to Edward Cullens seat. Obviously he was alone, and it only meant one thing.

"Mr. Cullens, meet Emery" he introduced us as if we weren't in the same class. "This is a group assignment and you two can work together since you're the odd ones out", he made his instructions very clear. Edward was unhappy, he wasn't even hiding it and the glare he gave Molina wasn't missed by either of us. Yet for some reason I felt a sense of power and pride coming from our teacher. Edward, even in the book and movies, was always indifferent and acted as if it was a luxury that he came here, for the school that is.

I stood there awkwardly beside him for a minute, us both avoiding talking and eye contact. I glanced towards our teachers way, but was only met with his face pointing towards the seat next to the Cullen.

I sucked up my fear of dying and ignored every red alarm going off in my head, if I was going to be a target of the Cullens anger because of circumstances I couldn't handle then I should probably do it with the pride I have. "Okay! Well Mr. Molina sure has weird ideas of partners huh"? I was trying to lighten up the mood, but he remained quiet next to me. "Haha!.. so uh? Are you good at biology"? It was a stupid question, he was great at it and always had straight A's in every class! Yet again, no answer!

It was frustrating trying to keep up with him, and trying to lighten the mood with nonsense chatter that I knew he wasn't going to reply to. Only ever pointing to answers I got wrong and even showed me his paper.

Yet the way he wrote it down seemed more understandable than when the teacher himself wrote it down. After a few questions I was almost quick to get a few correct on the first try, I finally felt like I was getting thing done. I'm sure Edward would have liked me to stop talking but I never did, personally I think he should have talked to more people besides his family and Bella. His personality being so introverted and lonesome was why he was so lonely in his life I'm sure, but I'm also sure he loved it that way. When class had finally ended I had half the sheet done, he was quick to get up and grab his things. While I packed up he was already off walking like it was his life's work, "eh! Mr. Cullen, please come to my desk real quick"!

Mr Molina had asked while looking over some papers, it wasn't my problem though. I had finally got up to walk out until, "you too Miss Damsel"!

I paused and stared at them both, 'you have got to be shitting Mr' I had thought to myself. It wasn't at all circumstantial that he asked for us BOTH to be present in front of his desk.

When I had walked up there I noticed he was looking over both mine and Edward's work. "Mr. Cullen, what would you say about working with somebody else"? He asked Edward. I side eyed him, noting that he was hesitating to answer, "um- Mr. Molina, I believe it's best when I work alone" straight to the point but I'm fine with that. "Well I didn't ask what you prefer, Miss. Damsel how about you"? He looked at me, my straight face slightly falling out. I only looked between the two as Edward looked away and Mr Molina was still staring dead into me. "Well.. I mean I don't have a problem depending on the person"-

Fuck- I couldn't  lie with the teacher staring into my soul like that. I felt a sense of danger next to me where the Cullen was standing, probably should take a buddy with me home today?

"Great! Then you wouldn't have a problem with me pairing you two up for the rest of the year right"? We both were surprised at what he suggested,

"what"?!
