A brief teaser of Chapter 3 - Danger:
“My name's Bella and I'm new here today. I'm the chief's daughter.” I placed my paper down on the desk and held my hand out to the teacher as I spoke.
The teacher slowly reached out and took my hand in a firm grip. “My name's Mr. Munoz. I wasn't aware the chief had a daughter, but you picked a good time to start as we just starting on cellular biology. The class is a bit full but there is a seat next to Edward Cullen. He's relatively new here as well, so you two may be able to help each other out.”
I barely contained my snort. I wasn't exactly surprised he didn't know my father had a daughter. After all, how was Charlie supposed to explain me anyways? “Oh, I have a daughter who is out slaying monsters. Real ones. She does all the stuff a cop should be doing but is too stupid to handle.” Or perhaps the conversation would go something more like, “Yeah, I have a daughter... What can I say? We all have skeletons in our closet.”
I stood a moment longer than was strictly appropriate without replying to the teacher before I finally nodded and turned toward the aisle to walk to my seat beside the bloody devil incarnate.
