Chapter 2: Acquaintances

B POV

The following morning I wake at 5:30 am. Great, now I have time to not only take a shower but also to get to school before everyone else. Thus maintaining my ability to not be noticed.

I grab my bag of toiletries, my dark jeans, dark blue long-sleeved shirt, a pair of boy shorts and one of the three size D bras I own. Did I mention I was chesty? Yep, it adds to the fat girl image.

I turn the shower on full blast heat and step in, avoiding looking in the mirror at all costs. I quickly shampoo, shave, and brush my teeth. I hop out, dress quickly and then clear the steam off the mirror with a towel. I stare back at my reflection wondering what to do with my mocha brown hair. For a second I indulge in imagining that I would tease it, like Nicki Blonsky's character from that movie Hairspray. Then snap out of it, grab a pony tail and pull it back, like always. I apply a scant amount of make-up, just some mascara and blush.

I check the clock, 6:00. Is that too soon to go to school when it starts at 8:15? Hmmm, maybe I should have some breakfast first.

I grab my raincoat, a male size large, and backpack and set them in the empty chair. Charlie had left when I was in the shower so I don't have to worry about making anything for him. I grab a bowl, a spoon, the milk, the cheerios and a banana. I pour myself a bowl of cheerios and tear the banana into little pieces and drop them in the cereal. I stir and slowly begin to eat. I grab my book that I started yesterday and read as I eat. Bite, read a paragraph. Bite, read a paragraph. Bite, read a paragraph. As soon as my spoon comes out of the bowl with nothing on it I throw the milk down the garbage disposal and rinse the bowl out. I put the cereal away and sit down to finish the chapter.

I read until I finish the next three chapters. I glance at the clock only to have it stare defiantly at me 7:15. That should be enough time to get to school, grab my schedule and get to class with time to spare.

It takes me about 10 minutes to get to the school and find a parking spot in a place I think isn't too conspicuous and head towards the building. I find the office and get my schedule just fine. However the layout of the school makes no sense to me whatsoever.

"Need help?" A voice chimes from behind me. The voice in question belongs to a curly brunette girl who wears a bright pink rain coat and a big smile.

"Oh, umm, sure. Where's Room 135?" I ask timidly.

"Oh, I'm headed there too! What a coincidence! Why don't I give you a little show around the school so you know where to go for your other classes as well? I'm Angela Webber by the way. You must be Isabella Swan."

"Uhh, yeah. Just Bella. Thanks." I accept her offer. Of course she knows of me. Chief Swan is an upstanding, important man of the town of Forks. Him having a daughter moving in with him after being taken away by her mother 15 years prior is big news.

"Ok Bella, well welcome to Forks High School! Home of the Trojans!"

I fake laugh, like I do when Phil tries to tell me a joke a 5 year old wouldn't fall for.

Angela is a nice girl; she explains how the classrooms are organized, by floor number, splintered hallway and then classroom. No wonder I couldn't find the bloody class. We walk in and take seats over near the window about halfway back. Fine by me, less people to walk past me and take notice.

Students slowly start to file in. Of course, Angela knows them all and instead of just letting them take a seat, she introduces me to them. Fabulous, there goes the inconspicuous plan. I smile politely and just nod my head. A blonde named Lauren takes one look at me, flips her hair and looks the other direction. Obviously she feels I'm not a threat to her. Her friend Jessica takes a bit more interest but only because she notices how pale I am.

"Aren't you from Phoenix? Isn't it sunny down there?" she asks valley girl style.

"Yes, it is. Very. But I burn too easily to try to get a tan." I reply shyly.

"Haha, well you won't have to worry about that here." Angela shrugs. "We have sun maybe a dozen times a year."

Jessica just smirks then sits next to Lauren who turns to her and begins whispering. I know they're talking about me because every minute and a half they both look at me then burst into giggles.

The teacher walks in and begins passing out the syllabus. The class passes in a blur, very Forks-like. Before I know it 4th period is over, the lunch bell rings and Angela is walking with me to the cafeteria. She's chatting about something I'm not even following along with. I intercept the word, homecoming and a boy named Ben. I notice that kids keep staring. Guess the invisibility thing only works when there's another 4000 students walking the hallways.

We sit down and I'm introduced to Ben, Tyler, Eric and Mike. Jessica and Lauren are there as well. Ben and Angela sit next to each other and exchange smiles. Hmmm, maybe I should have paid more attention to Angela. Jessica is trying to engage Mike in a conversation, but he's too busy making a volcano out of his mashed potatoes to care. Lauren is talking to Angela, and Eric and Tyler are debating something about Star Wars.

I choose this moment to take a look around the lunchroom. I try to pick out cliques or groups of people, but unlike Phoenix it doesn't seem there are that many. I see one group who definitely look like the bullies, or badasses. A blonde, skinny muskrat looking kid has his arm around a vibrant red head with cat-like features. I turn to ask Angela but she's already two steps ahead of me.

"Let me point out some of the people or groups who are also here. That couple there you were just looking at, that's James and his girlfriend Victoria. Try and steer clear of them. That group over by the fire exit, that's Aro, Marcus and Caius. They're musicians, they think they're gonna be rock stars and that they own the school. Their little groupies are Jane, Alec, Demetri and Chelsea. And that group over there by the window, those are the Cullens' and the Denalis. They are the jocks and cheerleaders."

I turn and look to where she's motioning and notice some of the best looking guys in the school.

"The big guy is Emmett, he's a linebacker. Jasper, the blonde, is the quarterback and Edward is the running back. Rosalie, Alice, Tanya, Kate and Irina are the cheerleaders here at the school. Rosalie is the one with Emmett's arm around her. Alice, the one with spiky black hair, and Jasper are together. Kate and Irina are after new guys every week and Tanya is constantly after Edward."

"Oh, ok." I nod. Tanya is after him, does that mean they're not a couple? They sure look like they'd be perfect for each other.

"Oh and Emmett, Edward and Alice are siblings. Their parents are Doctor and Mrs. Cullen. Jasper and Rosalie Hale's dad owns the local auto repair garage. And Tanya, Kate and Irina are triplets. Their dad is the town's mayor and their mom is the principal of the school."

As I observed the Cullens' and Denalis, I noticed that they were some of the most beautiful kids at the school. Everyone seemed to be laughing at something Emmett was saying and Tanya was nestled into Edward trying the same flirtatious behavior mirrored by Jessica. Edward glanced up and we locked eyes. I smiled a small smile and looked down at my lunch. I peeked at him under my lashes and saw him lean over to Jasper and point at me. Jasper snickered and I knew right then that Edward was going to be one of the jerks that would tease me when he thought I couldn't hear.

Great, the bronze-haired hottie had it out for me. Awesome first day. Eye roll commencing.
