Chapter one.
So here is goes. The story of how my life changed in one school year. This was the year I found out everything from fairytales to scary stories, it was real. The werewolfs, the vampires. They were all real, and I was about to fall in love with one and befriend one.
Beep beep beep, This was the first sound I hear on my very first day of school. I was finally in 10th grade. Away from the stupid drama, I hope. I had just moved to Forks Washington this summer, and what I had expected was far from the truth. Instead of fun summer days we had gloomy rainy days. But I guess it was better than being in Arizona, constantly sunny. I guess I was just a dark, cold person. I get out of my yellow sheeted bed with my purple comforter. I feel like a force is dragging me to my bed, but I force myself to get up. I get on my burgundy sweater over my grey tank top. Usual jeans. And combat boots. I line my eye with black eye liner and quickly straighten my hair. I rush out the door, and get into my black punch buggy, it was a 16th birthday present. Wasn't my thing, but I guess it was all I had.
I pull into forks high school. I see all the different cliques. You have the jocks, the cheerleaders, the nerds, the girls who envy the cheerleaders, and then in the corner standing next to a silver Volvo is a girl with orangy brown colored hair, standing next to a couple of tan boys. They were buff, don't they know steroids are bad? They looked like a nice group of people, I hope. So I pulled into the empty parking space next to them. And quickly grab my backpack and get out. I look around for a second when I hear someone shout at me.
"Hey! You took my parking space." They huffed and rolled their eyes. I say sorry quickly and walk past the group.
"Uh hey, Francesca right? Your new here I heard." I look over my shoulder and see the girl had said that.
"Um, yeah. Just moved here from Arizona." One of the tan buff guys who appeared to be the boyfriend of the girl chuckles and then the rest chime in. I didn't get it.
"That's so cool. My moms from Arizona too," She smiles. "Im Renesme" She sticks out her hand and I shake it gently. That's when the other buff guy chimes in.
"So if your from Arizona, why are you so white?" He laughs like hes the funniest guy in the whole school.
"Guess I didn't go outside much." I give a shy laugh.
"Excuse Embry, he doesn't quite know how to talk to girls yet." Renesme says and smacks him on the chest.
"How about you introduce everyone, Ness? The boyfriend, or so I think says.
"Right! Well obviously that's Embry, That's quil, And that's Jacob." She smiles and tilts her head at Jacob. I was so right.
"Its nice to meet you all." I smile. One thing I kept noticing was how Embry, kept staring at me. Did I have something on my face?
"Do you need any help getting to you classes?" She asks.
"Actually yeah, first is chemistry. You know where that is? Could you guys help me?" They chuckle.
"Actually we don't go here, just visiting." Jacob says.
"We go to school on Res." Quil says. Embry was still looking at me, was I that weird?
"Oh you don't go here either?" I look at renesme. She nods."
"I do, just the boys don't. You guys should get going the first bells about to ring." Jacob plants a kiss on her face and walks to his motorcycle.
"See you later fran!" Quil says with enthusiasm. I giggle awkwardly.
"See ya." And Embry, he just left. He had a strange look on his face, like he was confused, but at the same time wanted to rip someones head off.
Renesme walks me to Chemistry, and smiles and I wave goodbye. I walk in and take a seat in the front of the class. When a short, brown boy walks in and sits next to me.
"Hey, your new here right? Fran—Frannie—Fran something."
"Francesca." I say blankly.
"Ahh gotcha, so what makes you want to come to forks? Not much here except, clouds, rain, rain and oh yeah more rain."
"I guess I just needed a change."
The lunch time bell rings, and I let out a sigh of relief. This day was not going that great, first period I had some creep sit next to me, second everyone looked at me like I had five heads or something, third no one even bothered to talk to me, fourth the teacher kept calling on me, and I didn't know the answers. As I was walking to lunch I started getting really panicky, I thought oh no, who will I sit by. Just as I walk in I see Renesme talking to a group of girls, I think it would be impolite to just walk over, so I just take a seat at an empty table. Everyone is looking at me funny, I feel like everyone is laughing. That's when renesme walks over.
"Hey mind if I sit here?" She smiles.
"No not at all." I Laugh. "Doesn't look like anybody else wants to sit there."
"Don't worry, people will warm up to you. So how is your first day going?"
"Honestly not what I expected. I thought people would be dying to talk to me, I thought I would be the new, mysterious girl that everybody would want to know more about. But so far, Im just a nobody." I sigh.
"I understand. It will get better, I promise."
I sigh.
"Hey, a few of my friends are going to the beach, you want to come?"
"I-I don't know."
"Come on, you've already met three of them."
"The buff guys?" I open my eyes big, I did not mean to say that. She laughs.
"Yeah the buff guys. Oh and Embrys gonna be there, I saw you guys this morning!" She giggles uncontrollably.
"What, there was – it was nothing. He just thought I was weird like everybody else does."
"That's not what Jacob texted me." She grins.
"What?"
"Well, youll see if you come tonight." I nod.
"Alright, alright, I will come."
