Denhart High School

Chapter 7

Bella looked at Charles, blinked, and nodded. Charles wandered over half-way to the table, then went back to Bella. "I prefer kissing you."Bella laughed, and stood on her tippy toes, kissing him. Charles kissed her back. "I miss the public school, but I love it here with you..." Bella smiled, closing her eyes. Charles thought for a second. "Slap me. Now."Bella opened her eyes, which were full of the utmost confusion,"Why?""Just, slap me!" Charles shouted.Bella reached up, slapping him, but not hard."Why was I kissing you?" Charles asked."I don't know..." Bella said, even more confused."I just kissed a girl who wasn't my girlfriend..." Charles walked away a few steps.Bella's face fell to her feet, unable to speak."I... I... Look, I'm not sure. I'm a bit, lost, at the moment..." Charles said. Bella looked up, biting her lip, opened her mouth, then closed it."Sorry..." Charles said. "Why are you sorry?" Bella asked."I've made this awkward..." Charles replied. Bella tilted her head, looking away."Bella, I already have 2 children..." Charles looked at her. (WHATTTT?!?!?!?!? NOW YOU TELL HER THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!? The person playing Erin said this XD) Bella's head snapped towards him, honey blonde hair flying and eyes wide."I think my ex-girlfriend Louisa is pregnant as well..." Charles said. Bella took a shaky breath,"If this a joke...""It's not a joke. Me and Louise are also engaged." Charles said.Bella straightened, teary,"Then I'm sorry,""Why are you sorry?" Charles moved closer to her."Because I kissed you back," Bella said, shaking her head."Those 2 were from previous relationships! I was 15!" Charles looked into her eyes "But I just can't get away from the fact you're so beautiful. I know I shouldn't say that, but I can't help it..." (Obviously Charles doesn't know what a 'condom' is) Bella looked up, "You're a dad, you have a girlfriend!""Fiance actually..." Charles walked around a bit "There's something about you. You're so bright, happy...""That's no worse! I mean better!" Bella said, tossing her head."It's a new environment, my brain doesn't know what's going on! Give me a few days and I'll be fine!" Charles pleaded.Bella's expression softened,"Okay. Okay." She said in a soothing tone."Something happened to me when I was younger, but I don't remember it. That's why new environments sorta scare me, and I act a bit weird..." Charles said."Everything scares me these days," Bella sighed."Something traumatized me. I just don't remember. The furthest back I can remember is when I was 6..." Charles shifted awkwardly "Then a few months ago, found out I'm Dyslexic..." Bella tilted her head,"Dyslexic?" "Yep. I hate it. It made learning guitar so hard.." Charles moaned. Bella smiled slightly."I didn't even write the music out properly. I just wrote the letters down." Charles said.He then walked off and sat down on a bench.He indicated the bench. "Care to join me?" Bella nodded, and sat teetering on the edge of the bench."So what class you got next?" Charles asked.Erin walked out of the school, head high, and her face glowing with happiness. She was excited for this art class. Sophia glanced at StarBucks and headed over to examine the place. "I honestly don't care about my next class." Bella said. "Me either, hey there's that girl from later. Let's go talk to her." Charles said. Bella nodded and they both got up and walked over to Sophia."Everyone goes there. I don't know why. Probably because I've never been." He said.Sophia glances at him "I've never been either" Her eyes were wide."Charles Fitzbell." Charles introduced himself.Bella walked in and stood at the counter, got her English breakfast tea, and curled up in a armchair at the corner of the store, flipping through a magazine."There's Bella" Charles walked in and sat down next to Bella "Hey"Bella looked up, tea in hand,"Hey Charlie!" Bella perked up,"Who's she?" Charles sighed "Stop calling me Charlie, my name's Charles. And she's that girl from earlier. Still don't know her name." He rummaged around in his bag.  Bella laughed,"Sorry. My old friend was named Charlie. I keep forgetting." "Damn! I forgot to get that out my locker! Did you say you were left-handed?" Charles took his bag off and put it down on the floor next to him."Yeah. Why?" Bella asked."Just thinking... Life is difficult for us, isn't it?" Bella nodded, sipping her tea."I'm bored..." He got a book out his bag & started reading. Bella stared at him as he had seemed to completely lost his train of thought. She shrugged it off though and continued to read her magazine.Charles sat in silence, reading to himself.Bella did the same, occasionally sipping her tea.Natasha walked into the shop, and saw the pair. She walked up to the table & leaned on it. "Oh, new kids. Bookworms."Bella looked up from her fashion magazine, insulted."Oh, was I disturbing your reading?" Natasha took the magazine.Bella said nothing, and looked back down at her lap, sad."This came out LAST month!" Natasha tossed it back.Bella looked away,"It's new to me...""New? How can you be new?" Natasha asked."I haven't read any of the European copies yet," Bella said softly. Charles was engrossed in his book he didn't even notice Natasha "Leave her alone!" He shouted."Just ignore her..." He whispered to Bella. "European? Where you from? Outer Space?" Natasha laughed."Australia," Bella said in an irked tone.Natasha turned and walked out laughing.Bella watched her go, revolted. J walked through the door. His eyes glistened as he stared at Bella. He raised one hand in a quick gesture to say "Hi"(FINALLY MY CHARACTER IS HERE LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! TAKE YOUR SEATS!)Bella looked up at him, smiled shyly and raised a hand in greeting."What a bitch! Who's this guy?" Charles asked.She looked back at Charles,"I don't know..." J yanked on his sweater sleeves. He walked over to the counter and got a chocolate milk with marshmallows. He walked back over to the group. "S-so, I hear you guy's go to the same blasted school I do" "Mum told me to pick up on my English accent, so I did, do they teach proper English in this school?""If you don't get it right, automatic detention 'til you do. I'm from Greenwich, so it's a few hours away. I can leave if I want." He sloughed in his seat a bit. "The name's Charles,.by the way. Unfortunately,.I come from the Fitzbells." Charles said."Your going there too!?" Bella said, smiling slightly."Ya, mum thought I wasn't doing so well in school, so here I am. She had to put me in an advanced class. She said something about mistakes will help you grow or something. It might actually be good fun.""It's not too bad..." Bella said reassuringly.J threw his milk away and turned toward the door. He turned to look back at Bella and stiffed a smile. "Bye" he said walking out the door."Do you know what class your in?" Bella called after him.He walked back in. "Not yet" he said, then left.
