The alarm clock rang,dragging me out of the darkness. Strange that I never dreamed anymore. I used to dream every night.Then,it just stopped. All there was in my sleep was pitch black and the comfort of a bed.I let myself drop to the ground,landing on my stomach.I groaned,slamming my hand down on the alarm clock so the wretched noise would stop.
First day of school.Whoop de doo.I just picked out an ordinary looking dark purple v-necked sweater and a pair of khakis,slipping my feet into my tennis shoes.I could smell bacon sizzling downstairs.Damn.I'd hoped she wouldn't be awake.
"Morning,Rose.How was your night?" mom asked cheerfully as I entered the kitchen. I narrowed my eyes at her,trying to work out if she was being sarcastic or not. Nobody should have to do that with their mom.But I did.
"It was...fine." I grabbed a glass and poured apple juice into it,sipping carefully and avoiding mom's gaze. "Come get your breakfast,Rosie.I know you like bacon and baked beans." I stared at her suspiciously. "O...kay."
Was my mom a bipolar or something? After I finished eating,she switched moods and yelled at me to move my fat ass or I'd be late for school. "And wash the dishes!I can't do everything by myself!Who do you think I am,wonder woman?" she screeched.
I frowned at her. "Don't you dare think you can live here like a lodger.You do your fair share of house chores,young lady!" she continued rambling. I wished she would shut up. When her face started getting red,I grabbed my jacket and rushed out,slamming the door behind me.
There was only one car,a Mercury Couger which I hated. I drove that to school,it was a good ride despite its old fashion design. I parked amongst the other students,none of them had really fancy cars either. They stared at me as I walked to the main office.
I used to be flattered whenever someone looked at me with that much admiration and envy.I have a beautiful face,as dad does and I take after him completely.But after all that had happened in the past,beauty wasn't a part of me that I appreciated. I did enjoy my good sense of direction,though.
I found my locker in no time,did the number combination and dumped my new textbooks inside. "Um,hi." I turned to see a shy looking boy with cropped black hair in a combat outfit. "Hello." "You must be new,right?I'm Lloyd Barnes." "Rosalie Hale." I shook his hand.
Lloyd walked me to class,which was History.I handed my slip for the teacher to sign before taking a seat at the back.Lloyd sat at the front,so I was once again surrounded by unfamiliar faces.I heard someone slip into the seat next to me.
It was a girl,freakishly pale with dark hair arranged in a spiky do.I could see she had great fashion sense,but what really caught my attention was her incredibly beautiful features.She was perfect.Flawless.Her cheekbones were sharp and angular,her nose this dainty,small thing,her lips lusciously shaped and the exact pink of a rose.
She returned my gaze and I noticed her unnaturally golden irises.They were bright butterscotch,a pair of amber jewels. I smiled at her and averted my eyes,focusing on the teacher instead.For the entire lesson,I could feel her studying me.I avoided from looking at her again,it was just too awkward.
By lunchtime,everybody was whispering and gossiping about the 'new girl'. No one bothered approaching me,they were too engrossed in watching from a distance.Lloyd remained friendly,but he had his own group of friends.I got my lunch tray and found a table I could sit at,alone.
All over again.Suffer in loneliness.Hmph.Life wasn't especially good to me. The table across from mine was occupied by a group of students unlike the rest.The girl from History was there,along with three others.They were as stunningly perfect and lovely as she was.
One boy who caught my eye was sitting nearest to me.He could've passed for twenty,and I realized we had a similar resemblance. The structure of his face was almost exactly like mine,and his hair was the same honey blonde. The boy sitting beside him had toffee brown hair and was dressed all in white,his arm was around the girl from History.
I didn't fail to observe how white they all were,and the shade of their eyes matched the girl's.The one with red hair,almost like bronze,stared back at me.I raised an eyebrow at him.Didn't anybody tell him it was rude to stare? His lips twitched into a smile,I had no idea why,the others at his table weren't speaking.
"Hey,Rosalie." I jumped.Lloyd was right next to me.I hadn't seen him. "I noticed you're sitting at the table nearest to the Cullens.Brrrrr." His teeth chattered like it was cold. "You shouldn't,you know.Nobody sits near to them." I frowned at him. "Um,I sat next to one of them in History." He gasped.
"WHAT?Who was it?" "I don't know,it was the girl." "Oh,Alice Cullen." he whispered the name. Then he smiled. "Their all a bunch of freaks,though the girls get crazy over Emmett,Jasper and Edward.Edward's the redhead,Jasper's the blonde and Emmett's the brunette.Emmett and Alice are an item,you know.Which is weird cuz they all live together.
"Their adopted by Dr Cullen and Mrs Cullen." "And...you're telling me because?" The redhead named Edward smirked. I really had to call him Edweirdo.He let out a chuckle.See?Laughing at nothing.Edweirdo. Lloyd looked shocked. "Rosalie,you have to understand,its important to know who the Cullens are.In case you come across them or something.The best way to deal with that kind of situation is to ignore them.Got it?"
I laughed. "Lloyd,you might have something wrong with your brain.Did your friends implant something that gives you freakphobia?Because,trust me,there are plenty of freakier freaks you have yet to meet." He threw me an insane look. "Never mind,Rosalie,you might not believe me now but you'll see." "Please,its not like their vampires or something.Though they definitely look it." The Cullens' eyes widened.
Lloyd shrugged. "Yeah,you're right.No such thing as vampires." He smiled goofily and sauntered off.I sighed.Could my day get any worse?
