Thankfully gym passed swiftly, the gym professor gave Alex a spare pair of gym shoes though it wasn't as if Alex really participated much. The professor simply gave them instructions for a warm up before letting them play whatever they wanted which today seemed to be volleyball. Something Alex had absolutely no idea how to play and so he stood to the side and watched Bella fall over and over whilst somehow managing to hit her own teammates with the ball at the same time.
The other students quickly caught on as they stopped letting her hit the ball which seemed to actually please Bella as she released a soft sigh of relief.
*Riiiinnnggg*
With the sound of the final bell, the students quickly rushed to the changing rooms, changing back into their other clothes quickly before heading out of the gym.
Alex and Bella walked together down the halls towards the front entrance. They didn't make any small talk. It was clear Bella was still in her mind about Edward whilst Alex himself didn't really want to talk for various reasons, one of the main ones being that the more he talked, the more Bella would notice the obvious differences between him and the past owner of this body.
The second being, he actually enjoyed silence more than random small talk. That's how he had been his entire life, or well… his past life and that habit didn't seem to change even if his body did.
Before Alex could walk out of the front entrance, Bella grabbed him by his backpack.
"We have to go give the participation letters back to that secretary." She remind him softly as she turned to walk towards the office.
Alex gave a quick nod of his head and started following her from behind, shaking his head once she wasn't looking towards him.
'How many more things am i going to forget today? I must really be damn stressed, I usuall never forget anything. I dont even remember the last time that i forgot something before today.' Alex thought to himself as he shook his head, quickly dismissing the idea. I mean he had changes bodies, that didn't mean his mind was still the same right…
Arriving at the secretary office, now inside of it instead of just at the booth. Alex and Bella were quickly met with the sight of Edward talking to the secretary.
"Im sorry, there really are no other open spots and you can't just switch out your class in the middle of the semester." The secretary spoke as she shook her head at Edward who seemed to be practically vibrating with anger.
As soon as Alex and Bella came inside, his head snapped towards them for a moment before he rushed out.
"Never mind then…" Was all he said as he disappeared out of the office.
'Good, great. One week without Edward.' Alex thought with an inward sigh of relief that he hid from Bella who clearly looked both shocked and utterly confused at his side.
"Let's just hand them over. Give me yours." Alex said as he extended his hand towards Bella who gave a mute nod, handing her own paper to Alex.
With both papers in hand, Alex quickly headed to the desk and gave them to the secretary.
"How did your first day at Forks Highschool go?" The woman asked with a smile as she looked at Alex and Bella who was a few feet behind him, clearly lost in her head.
"It was great, made a few friends, everyone seems friendly enough." Alex replied as he gave a nod to the woman and turned, already walking away.
'Every human that is.' Alex thought to himself as he and Bella quickly headed out of the office and walked down the hall before exiting the main school building.
Walking outside, they felt tens of eyes on them, clearly the shining effect of the transfer students hadn't faded in just a few hours.
"They're still looking at us as if they've never seen humans before." Bella mumbled under her breath as she and Alex walked to the orange truck, that clearly stood out in the parking lot, both the vibrant color and the size of it.
"Yeah? Well we would probably act the same if we were raised in a town as small as this. Everyone knows everyone here, so i can't fault them for being curious about us. And we did sort of just transfer in the middle of the semester, that's pretty weird too." Alex replied as he grabbed the handle of his door and planted his feet firmly onto the ground before the door finally opened.
'There is no way in hell that Bella managed to open this door, well the passenger one. The driver side one is most likely in better condition as it's been opened more frequently so less rust.' Alex thought as he dropped the bag at his feet and lounged back on the chair before slamming the door closed.
*Bang*
The window seemed to rattle from the force of the door slamming closed.
"Alex! Are you trying to break the hinges?" Bella asked, her voice raised as she glared at him.
"Sorry, sorry. Let's just get going." Alex replied with a sheepish smile as he raised his hands in surrender.
At this moment, something else caught his eye.
A particular group of students on the other side of the parking lot were looking directly at him.
A group he knew better than most if not all the students here besides Bella herself.
The Cullens.
Amber eyes, clearly staring at his face, sending shivers down his spine that he hid, making sure he remained as stoic looking as possible as he stared back.
'Okay… dont act weird… what what would not acting weird be?' Alex thought to himself quickly before raising his hand and waving whilst showing a twitching half smile.
Instantly, Alice Cullen returned his smile with one of her own, though it looked creepy enough that Alex felt like he would most definitely see it again in his nightmares tonight.
'Fuck.'
