Chapter one: Good Morning Sunshine
Heat on my skin from the suns rays shining onto me from above, the warmth of the summer had just begun, and for once it wasn't raining.
There wasn't a cloud in sight, not even the small ones, which looked like pearly, white candy floss, as my mother used to tell me. The sky blue, with the sun following my every move.
The grass looked greener, more full of life, ready to start a new day as it swished and swooshed to the light breeze.
I was in a happy mood, like anything was possible.
I was in the mood to start skipping over the grassy hill in front of me and start singing 'the hills are alive with the should of music!'.
But of course, I wouldn't do that.
If there was a soundtrack to my life right now, it would be on the song 'mr blue sky' and I would be marching to the beat.
The need to start shouting out the lyrics to my favourite songs was a need I was desperately trying to hold back.
I slowly wandered around the field that looked like the places you see in cartoons and the sunset will magically happen, the prince and princess kiss and it's your usual happy ever after!
Except it was only me who visited here, I didn't really have a prince charming.
I lay down a small blue blanket, patting down all the creases till the presentation was perfect.
I settled down, lying on my front, over looking the other fields, which had some horses galloping around, the sun over looking them, it was a beautiful sight, which I could probably watch all day, if I didn't have to be in for 6 o'clock, I didn't have to be in for dinner, I was the one who cooked the dinner since Charlie always burnt his fatherly attempts at cooking.
Usually when he tries to use the microwave, he forgets to take off the packaging…it's weird how the house hasn't set on fire yet.
II slowly feel my fingertips over the blades of grass, taking an unsuspecting daisy between my thumb and finger, twizzling it around it circles.
I was amazed with nature, everything about it, it was always beautiful. In the summer, plants were in full bloom, everything would be grown, colorful and bright, everything happy. In autumn when leaves start to fall, the orange to brown shades, the piles of broken leaves over the ground and dotted around the roads, waiting for you to step on one to hear the crunch sound it makes. Winter, the white which covers everything you can see, the frost which sits upon the branches of trees, leaves topped with layers and layers of snow, a blanket to keep warm…but not really.
Nature can bring out different emotions in you, nature inspires you, it's why I come here to this small field everyday, makes me happy.
I sighed, and reached into my backpack to pull out one of my favourite classics, wuthering heights.
I would never get tired of this book, and the fact that the spine was broken down to the core, exaggerated that fact.
"Bella!"
I slowly sat up and turned my head slowly to see a worn out, but happy looking Angela come bounding up to me, a gleaming smile on her face, someone was happy.
I waved to her calmly as she smoothed the blanket down, placing herself next to me excitedly.
"Hey Angela" I smiled, I waited to see if she would say anything about her sudden happiness, but she lay back her head, her hair splaying all over the grass, as she looked up towards the clear sky.
I waited for a few seconds, wondering if she would make some special announcement, but to no avail.
I lay down next to her, my head falling onto the grass and looked towards my best friend of many years.
"I knew you would be here, I have some news to tell you" She lifted her head slightly, leaning onto her elbow as she smiled at me, like she had just thought of that 'news' all over again.
"Yep, I'm here everyday" Since there's nothing else to do " So what's this news I hear? I'm going to guess it's good news."
She breathed in, twizzling around so she faced me with her legs crossed. I did the same. She gripped my shoulders.
"Angela, you can tell me!"
She let go and looked at me, dimples lighting up her cheeks, "Yesterday I went to the supermarket to get some food, since my family are having a barbeque next weekend…which you are coming to?" She raised her eyebrow.
"Yeah I'll come, can't miss out on the famous Webbers barbeque every year!"
She laughed, high fiving my hand, "Awesome, so I was at the supermarket, casually strolling through the aisles looking for some bottles of pop, and guess who I saw…"
I eagerly put a finger to my chin and do the thinking pose, "Hmmm…did you meet Santa?"
She laughed and punched my arm, "Seriously Bella, I turned to my right and saw Ben on his own, searching the aisles."
I raised my eyebrow, I knew she had a crush on Ben, but was it really worth getting excited over seeing him in the supermarket? There was more to it.
I stared at her expectantly.
"I saw Ben and I carried on my business, but obviously I was kind of nervous, and so as I went to pick up some pop about 5 bottles dropped down from the shelf's, all rolling into Ben's feet and making a big crash-"
"-Smooth move's Angela.
"I literally stood there in shock my cheeks were all red and I stared at ben's feet where loads of bottles had dropped, I ran over to him and began to pick up the bottles and he started to help me, which was really nice of him. "I knew where this was going.
"We started to chat, for about half an hour, then he asked if I wanted to go watch a movie with him one time and I said yes!" She was literally beaming, rainbows shooting out of her ears and eyes.
I was so happy for her!
"That's so sweet Angela!" I gave her a long hug so share my happiness with her, I was happy, so was she.
"Do you know when you're going to see one?" I questioned.
"No, not yet he said we would have to organize it, so we exchanged phone numbers!"
"That's fantastic Angela,'
"I also invited him to the barbeque next weekend, he said he will have to ask his parents, but he seemed like he wanted to come"
"He does, I think he has a crush on you too, you should see the way he looks at you,"
"Really?"
"Really."
She smiled at me, and then put her arms behind her head as she lay back down on the grass, closing her eyes.
I was happy for Angela; her relationship was just beginning, while mine had just ended.
I had been the girlfriend of Jacob black for 2 years, we had been best friends since we were kids, and somewhere along the line it progressed into more.
He was perfect, but there was always something missing when I was with him, something wasn't there.
I loved being with him; we would ride motorcycles in the reservation at night, which was always an amazing experience.
But over the last few months we slowly drifted apart, each going our separate ways, I broke up with him, my heart stabbing as I looked into Jacobs broken eyes.
I promised him I just wanted a small break, which was true, he understood, and we slowly walked away from each other.
We haven't talked since.
Sometimes I find myself missing him, but not enough to give him a call, it would just be weird.
I had dated one boy after Jacob, which was 3 weeks ago, when Mike Newton had asked for me to go to the movies with him.
Worst decision ever when I said yes.
I was bored, broken up with Jacob and it was my lonely heart speaking.
He took me to a movie, he didn't ask what movie I wanted to watch, he decided to take me to a action packed movie.
I'm more of a romantic movie type.
I sat through the movie, didn't even know what I was watching as I was to focused on the fact that Mike kept getting closer and closer, as I kept trying to get farther and farther away.
At one point, he tried to put his arm around me but before he could do that, he ended up running out of the theater to throw up.
Lovely.
I ended up walking out of the theater to see if he was okay, only to hear the sounds of vomit coming from the boy's toilets.
I had decided to ask a helper to see if he was okay, of course I wouldn't be able to go into the boy's toilets.
I had dragged the man there to see, and he came out straight away with the words "There isn't anyone there miss"
I had looked confused I remember, and to the sound of a revving engine, mike had driven off in the car back to who knows where.
Of course, Mike would care more about himself, since I had no way to get home, I had to get Charlie to pick me up, and that was the most awkward situation ever, since he didn't know I had actually gone on a date, he was still in love with freaking Jacob, and would despise Mike.
"Oh no"
I turned my head to see Angela glaring at her watch in horror, "I'm going to be so late!"
I quickly looked down at my watch, which held the time of 5 o'clock.
"Is this your curfew?" I questioned nosily.
She nodded her head quickly, "It took me an hour to walk here, and it will take me an hour back, I can't afford to be an hour late my parents will be so worried!"
I felt sorry for Angela, I scrubbed the dirt off my jeans with my hands, standing up and fixing my clothes.
Running my fingers through my hair I smiled at her, "I can take you back in my truck if you want, it's no problem,"
She looked as if a weight had been took off her shoulders, "Thanks Bella!"
We quickly gathered up our things, tucking the small blanket underneath my arm as we set off on our hike towards where I had parked my truck.
We continued to talk like teenagers, Angela gushing over Ben and how wonderful he is, and me talking about all of the relationships that were never meant to be.
"I'm sure you will find someone who is perfect for you soon Bella, you deserve that."
This is why she was my friend; she gave me hope in sad situations.
"Sometimes it doesn't seem that way."
She nodded to herself, as we continued our walk, it was quiet for most of the time, leaving us to our thoughts, we weren't talkative people, but we both felt we could express our self's to each other, we trusted each other.
Angela suddenly snapped her head up, "I forgot to tell you, you may already know though, you know that school starts back from the summer tomorrow?"
How could I forget, this summer seemed to go so fast it made my head hurt.
I nodded, " Apparently there is some new students starting tomorrow"
Ah, I remember when I was a new student here, I hated that, and since it is such a small town everyone fusses over you like a piece of meat.
Good luck to them.
"Feel sorry for who ever they are, who would want to live here?"
"Beats me, there parents probably got a job deal here or something, that's the only reason I can think of that makes sense,"
"Maybe one of them will be in our classes,"
I nodded, taking in all the information.
"Apparently there super rich,"
"If they was rich, they wouldn't move to forks would they" I laughed, "Besides, who told you that?"
"Ben"
I smirked, "Of course."
I gave Angela a lift back, and her parents weren't angry with her, thank god.
I quickly entered my house to Charlie's warm eyes, finishing from reading the news, which no one was really interested in except for Charlie.
"Hey Bell's" He smiled, sitting up from his chair to head to the sofa, switching on the sports news, more appealing to Charlie.
"Hey Dad," I called from the hall, making my way to the kitchen to find the latest recipe.
"I can cook the dinner tonight Bells, my treat."
I turned slowly to face Charlie, a smile making its way to my face, "are you serious Dad? Please tell me that's a joke."
"It's unfair that you're doing it all-"
"Trust me, I volunteered to cook, I will happily do all the cooking, I don't want to get poisoned any time-"
"My cooking isn't that bad"
I stared at him in disbelief; I didn't even want to answer that.
"So do you want some pasta tonight?" Twizzling the spoon in my hands.
Charlie smiled, "Pasta it is."
I laughed, as I joined Charlie on the sofa, he pulled me tight into his arms as I fell to sleep.
