I am a normal, plain 14 year old girl. My name is Isabella Swan, Bella for those who know me. Today is the first day of high school. I have been looking forward to this day since I started junior high in Pheonix two years ago. I am so thankful that I will be able to join in different activities and hopefully meet some nice people, especially since my family and I just moved from the sunshine of Arizona to the rainy forecasts of Forks, Washington.
My mother poked her head into the my bedroom to check that I was awake. My bus would be arriving in moments. I looked myself over one last time. I wish I had unpacked the rest of my clothes. I had to settle for basic blue jeans and a plain blue top. I sighed loudly and wished for once that I would be able to find someone nice to sit near at the cafeteria.
I walked down the steps and somehow managed to trip on the last step. I braced myself for the fall that would possibly give me a bruise to start the school year when a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind. Emmett, my athletic brother was standing beside me laughing loudly at how clumsy I was. You would think that he would be the clumsy one, considering he had literally grown over a foot in the last year. He now towered over me. To add insult to it, he managed to weight lift every day this summer and had put on at least 100 pounds of muscle. At least I had someone strong enough to scare off the creeps at this new school. Emmett and I were only a year apart. He would be a sophomore and I would be a freshman. I thanked my brother for being so "considerate" and realized the bus was coming down our street. We walked outside and watched as the bus slowed to a stop before our house. The bus was quiet and, thankfully, didn't take long to arrive at the high school.
This is it. I was about to walk inside the school and begin high school. I took a deep breath and walked into the building.
