Chapter 1: Skater Girl

BPOV

I grabbed my skateboard from my travel suitcase and jumped on it, speeding through the terminal to the front gates to meet my dad.

My name is Bella. Bella Swan, and I am moving to Forks, Washington, to live with my dad, Charlie. He's the chief of police. Which means if I have a raging party, I'm dead or grounded for life. Great, huh?

I looked around me as I skated around, until I finally spotted him. He was in his police uniform, so this is going to be embarrassing. I skated up to him and he raised his eyebrows in shock.

"Bella?" He asked in disbelief. I smirked.

"What's up, old man? Haven't seen you 'round in a while!" I joked. He smiled slightly, then grabbed my suitcase for me.

"Not much, pretty lady. Got you a homecoming present!" He said eagerly. I smiled. I don't like presents because people don't get me what I like, but Charlie is my dad and he understands me. Where else could I have gotten my traits from? My mom? No way. Dad was a rebel when he was in high school, so he understands me better. He also knows exactly what to buy me without asking. I haven't seen him in 2 years, when I was 14, but we have this connection thingy. So, yeah.

He lead me out to the garage parking lot and over to a sweet new motorcycle. I shrieked and ran up to it. Dad laughed.

"Thought you'd love it." He said. I looked at him eagerly.

"I LOVE IT SO MUCH! Thanks Dad!" I said, then stroked my new bike lovingly. I knew what kind it was. It was a Suzuki Hayabusa GSXR1300(Pic on profile)- the world's fastest motorcycle so far. And I loved it.

I rode my new bike home and dad drove the cruiser behind me. Once we arrived home, he helped me unpack and I cooked for us. I made Grandma Swan's lasagna. Then, we went to bed. My last thought before I fell asleep was, I think I am going to love it here.

Next Morning

I woke up to a cloud filled sky through my dirty windows. I needed to redecorate this place. It just isn't my style. Dad said he didn't have the energy anymore to do it, so I said I would.

Today, I have my first day of school, so I decided to have fun with my outfit. I decided on a Rebel Yell Lightning Boyfriend Cropped Tee in Heather Gray with yellow shorts, Black Canvas High Top Chuck Taylor All Star Trainers, Rose stud earrings, and a guitar pendent necklace. I grabbed my Speed Demon Zebra Print skateboard, put it in my bag, and headed off to school on my new bike. When I arrived, all eyes were on me. And I do mean ALL eyes. The first people I spotted were what I think is the popular group. They all looked like sluts and douche bags. Note to self: Stay Away From Them. Then, I saw the geeks. Eh. Then, I saw the emos. They creeped me out. Then, I saw five kids who seemed to be secluded. They were all unbelievably beautiful. There were two girls and three guys. The girls were different, and I could tell all of them were wearing designer. One girl was short and pixie like with jet black hair that stood up all over the place. The other girl was tall, leggy, and had long, wavy blonde hair that fell to her lower back. One of the boys was like a body builder on steroids. He had short curly brown hair and had a face of a child with a glint in them. Another boy had curly blonde hair and was built but not as much as the other one. The last boy was perfection. He had disarrayed bronze hair that fell into his eyes, he wasn't too built, more lanky, but he was still beautiful. I snapped out of my ogling and skated to the front office. A boy with baby blue eyes and spiked blonde hair stepped in my way. I skidded to a stop. "What?" I asked glaring at him. Be afraid, douche bag, be very afraid. He smirked. I sighed. "Stop looking at me like a retard and speak your business! I don't want to waste my time on you for long, douche bag." I said scathingly. He looked shocked, but then turned cocky. "Playing hard to get? It's all right, makes everything more fun. Anyways, the name is Mike Newton. Meet me in the Janitor's Closet and we can have some fun." He wiggled his eyebrows in what he would think might be seductive, but it looked like he was twitching.

I rolled my eyes. "You wish, a-hole. Like I would ever like you. Ew. Advice for next time: get a new face. Hope to never see ya again! Bye!" I grinned at his furious expression and skated to the office and retrieved my schedule. I headed to my first class, English with Ms. Davis. It was too easy. The rest of the day was pretty boring because everyone was too intimidated by me to actually talk to me. It got interesting at lunch though.

I walked into the cafeteria, and suddenly all the noise stopped. I rolled my eyes but went to the lunch line and paid for my lunch. When I turned around, I almost bumped into this really tiny person that was with the beautiful people this morning. I looked at her confused. She was bouncing up and down in place excitedly.

She talked first.

"Hiya! I'm Alice Cullen! I can tell we're gonna be the best of friends!" She said happily. I chuckled.

"I think you need to lay off the caffeine, honey. You are way too happy for your own good. And I am Bella. It is a mighty pleasure to meet you, oh great Alice." I said smirking. She giggled.

"I wanted to ask you to come sit with my family for lunch! Will you, please?" She gave me puppy dog eyes. It doesn't work on me. I raised my right eyebrow.

"That little trick doesn't work on me, but I have a feeling you won't take 'no' for an answer, right?" She shook her head. I chuckled. "Then lead the way, pixie." I said, smiling. She pouted slightly, but led me to her table.

"Bella, this is my family. My sister, Rose, my brothers Emmett and Edward, and my boyfriend, Jasper. Guys, this is Bella. She's the new kid." She said excitedly. I chuckled.

"Pleased to meet you all. How's it hangin'?" I said grinning from ear to ear. Emmett laughed boisterously. I sat down next to Alice and Edward.

"I love this girl! And not much, Bella. Thanks for askin'!" He said. I smiled.

"You guys can call me 'Skids' if you want," I said. They looked confused.

"Why?" Alice asked. I laughed.

"Because down in Phoenix, I was trouble, still am, by the way, and one time, I was working on some dance steps for me and my crew, and well, lets just say, strollers are very dangerous. Everyone called me Skids after that and it grew on me." I was smiling and the Cullen's were all trying not to laugh. I rolled my eyes. "You can laugh. I won't be offended." I said and they all busted up laughing.

"That," laugh. "Has to be the," laugh. "Funniest thing I have ever," laugh. "Heard!" Emmett choked out between laughs. I shrugged. They soon calmed down.

"Alright, so Skids it is then." Emmett said. I gave my famous half smile. It was rare when I gave a full smile. I only grin, half smile, smirk, or frown. All too soon, lunch came to an end.
