Forty-five minutes of playing Snake on the small flip phone later, the bell signaling the end of class finally rang.
Lifting his head and tearing his gaze away from the small flip phone screen, Alex released a soft sigh of relief as he flipped the phone closed and pocketed it.
Getting up from the spot where he had sat, he quickly dusted himself off and walked back towards the main entrance of the school, passing by the students who had given him a cigarette earlier, he merely gave another nod in thanks before entering inside the school silently.
The game had actually managed to take his mind off things and calm him down much more than the cigarette ever would have.
Walking down the hall towards his next class, Alex suddenly remembered…
'I totally forgot my backpack at lunch. Please tell me that Bella got it for me.' Alex thought as his shoulders slumped and he started walking towards the gym.
Students had already filled up the halls, laughing and talking with each other as they headed toward their next and final class for the day.
It didn't take long for Alex to arrive at the gym, for his PE class.
Looking ahead of him, he saw Bella and Mike waiting for him.
'Thank god, she actually got it for me.' Alex thought with relief as he saw Bella carrying her own and his backpack before turning his gaze towards Mike.
'I really think you should give up, I myself don't want to be anywhere near Bella, even if she is my sister in this life now. Hell, I don't want anything to do with those freaky sparkly death vampires.' Alex thought with a shudder as he walked towards them.
"Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my backpack for me Bella, I totally forgot about it at lunch. Stomach hurt like hell." Alex said, his voice slightly pained, an act as he rubbed his stomach for additional effect and then grabbed his backpack from her hands.
"Yeah whatever, thank god you weren't in Biology, that Edward guy? You know the Cullen one? He acted super weird." Bella spoke, her voice was angry yet confused at the same time as her eyes glazed over slightly, likely remembering what had happened during the last class.
"Weird? How?" Alex asked curiously as he gave Mike a fist bump as a greeting and the three of them walked into the gym.
"Weird as in the dude looked like he wanted to be anywhere but near her. She got seated together with him on the same desk by the professor and he looked like he hated her guts throughout the entire class." Mike replied with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Yeah, and he kept holding his nose as if I smelled or something. I don't smell weird right?" Bella questioned as she grabbed her shirt and lifted it to her nose before shaking her head in confusion.
"No, you don't smell. I think he's just a weirdo or something or maybe he had a really bad stomach ache or something like that, who knows." Alex replied as the trio stopped right in the middle where they would each part for the girls or the boy's changing room.
"Yeah maybe," Bella replied, still clearly thinking the situation over in her head, her voice soft and confused as she turned and headed towards the left where the Girls changing room was.
Mike gave a shrug of his own as he and Alex turned towards the right and walked to the boy's own changing room. Heading inside, Alex had to instantly pinch his nose.
The smell was god awful like something had died inside the room.
"What the fuck?" Alex murmured causing Mike who was beside him to laugh.
"Yeah, a rat or something died somewhere around here, I think it's on top of the ceiling or something but no one's been able to find it yet. I think the schools going to be calling a team to look at it. Smells like shit." Mike said as he started changing.
Alex released a tired sigh as he opened a locker and put his backpack inside before realizing it.
'Right, I didn't get any gym equipment either. Wasn't really on my mind when I woke up in a completely different world. Not to mention that I only got my schedule today.' Alex thought to himself as he closed the locker and moved outside the changing room as quickly as he could.
'And for some dumb reason, I have the same exact classes every day for the rest of the semester. I didn't even know this was a thing in America.' Alex thought to himself as he walked to the side of the gym where some benches had been placed and sat down as students started getting out of the changing rooms. The professor had yet to come out.
'That means… Edward, in the same class, every damn day except this first week for the rest of the semester. God save me.' Alex thought with dread.
Finally, the professor's office which was on the left side of the gym opened up and a man wearing sporty clothes came outside.
'Why are gym teachers always… fat? Even in a fictional world.' Alex thought absentmindedly as his mind wandered for a moment.
