A/N: Argh, i hate hospital so i am bored and am writing a new fanfiction. Check out my other FanFic Broken hearts will make you stronger! Please Read and Review so i know if i should continue with this!
To be honest, this place did not look in the least bit an adventure, as my Dad had called it. It was just a small town in the middle of the peninsula forest in Washington state, with trees and rain. Lots of trees and rain. Well I guess I shall have to get used to it, seeing as my Dad has just got a job at the police station here, were supposed to be having his boss, Chief Swan, round for dinner tonight. I was not keen on the idea, in fact I didn't like any of my Dad's ideas. His idea to send my brother to military school, to marry my evil step mother Anne or to move here.
"Katie, can you please stop fiddling for one minute and listen." My Dad hissed, I glanced at his direction, he was driving me to school, seeing as I was no longer allowed to ride my motorbike because I had an accident three months ago. It was no big accident, I was going round a bend and the bike skidded, I went flying off the front and landed in a bush, one broken arm. Now I was not even allowed to touch my bike, my Dad thought it would blow up or something. "Now, when I called the principal, he said just to go to the front office and get your timetable then go to class and give the teachers a slip or something. Can you do that without hurting yourself?" He mocked, I glared at him. So I was a little bit of an accident magnet, I could still handle the first day of school here without ending up in the emergency room.
"Yes Dad." I said through my teeth. He stopped in front a place that looked like three houses, but I saw a sign in front that said Forks High School. I swallowed and stared at it for a moment, then undid my seatbelt. Dad smiled in relief, I bet he thought I was going to throw a tantrum like my little sister did when we dropped her off at the elementary school ten minutes ago. I had encouraged Suzie to do that so that I might be to late to go to school, my plan hadn't worked exactly. But it had got my Dad worked up.
"Bye Kate, see you home for dinner." Dad mumbled, I nodded and grabbed my tote and jacket then got out of the car. The car park in front of the building was slowly filling up, with cars and students. I walked across the street to the school, not looking back to see if my overprotective father had gone yet. I looked at it for a moment, then decided the main entrance would be where the reception was. A few kids looked at me as I walked towards it, well more then a few, the majority of people had stopped to look at me. Once I got inside the building I breathed a sigh of relief and warmth. I guessed it was about minus five outside, but the radiators were on and I was right. The reception was just through the door on the left. I went through and two ladies looked up at me from the desk. One went back to what she was doing, the one with glasses smiled kindly at me.
"Hello, you must be the new girl?" She asked, coming to the counter. I nodded slowly and then smiled.
"Katie Johnson." I answered, tucking a strand of light brown hair behind my ear.
"Well, it's nice to see a new face here. Here's your timetable, a slip for your parents to sign, a slip for each of your teachers to sign and a map." She handed the papers to me and all I could do was nod like an idiot.
"Thanks." I said, putting them in my bag, I got my timetable and slip. I had taken a quick look at the map and I was pretty sure it was easy to find my way around here. I had math first, then history. I sighed and walked to my first room. It was empty so far, guess I must be early. A teacher with frizzy black hair and glasses was sitting at a desk at the front. I went to her and she looked up and gave me a toothy grin.
"Umm…I'm Katie Johnson and this is my first day." I had no idea what to say. "The ladies in the office said to give you this slip to sign." I showed her the slip and she grinned even wider.
"Well it's nice to meet you Katie," She said whilst scribbling a signature on the slip. "I'm Mrs Holly, I'm your math teacher." I smiled weakly. "Wait up here till the rest of the class come in and we'll find you somewhere to sit." She grinned again and handed me the slip, she went back to marking books and I stared absentmindedly out the window. I think I would be in the middle of an English test at the moment if I was back in California, my best friend would be passing me notes and the teacher would be waiting for us to finish whilst the sun shined outside. Soon the class was full, a lot of the students watching me curiously, I glared at all of them in turn and then Mrs Holly stood up.
"Morning class, this is Katie," Oh shit, why did she have to do an introduction like they did in kindergarten? "She's new here, so make here feel welcome." Then she turned to me. "You can take the empty desk at the back." She gestured to a small desk by the window. I smiled to myself and went to it, ignoring the whispering from the other kids. In the middle of Mrs Holly's lecture a girl with a blonde bob turned round from the seat in front. She had a mousy face, but it was friendly.
"You must be the new girl everyone saw today, I'm Lauren." She held out a hand for my to shake. I eyed it then ignored it. I went back to writing notes, she scowled and eventually turned back round. At the end of the lesson I wandered out of the room after everyone else. The hallways were full and I glanced at my time table to remember where the room was. I went up a flight of stairs and then I found room 27. I went inside and to the teachers desk, the class was only half full so far, but I caught sight of Lauren with some other girls and we exchanged hostile glares. The teacher told me to sit in between to boys that were joking. I did so reluctantly whilst they talked around me for the whole lesson. History was good, we were learning about the revolution in California, but here it was more about the settlers that came from England. I knew I was part native-American so I did pay some attention when it came to native stuff. After that school went quickly. I made no friends, well I had to chance too. At lunch some girls offered me to sit next to them. I shook my head and sat at a table on my own, not looking back. In gym the same girls offered for me to be on their team, I had just shrugged and sat out. After school I had walked home, knowing my Dad would not pick me up. Maybe I would have to beg him to uplift the no bikes law. I walked through the town bored, still waiting for an adventure. Once I got home I went straight to my new room and took a shower and got changed. With nothing to do I started on my homework and ended up falling asleep on my desk, how I hated time change.
"Kate, wake up…" I felt someone shaking me and my eyes fluttered open to find my sister leaning over me, a thoughtful look on her space. I mumbled something that even I didn't understand and sat up in my chair.
"Hey Suzie…" I murmured, hugging her, she was so small, even for an eight year old.
"Anne says its time for dinner. She told me to wake you up." Ok so there was something I also found very annoying, my 24 year old stepmother was favoured by Suzie.
"Tell the witch I'll be down in a minute." Suzie frowned and started to say something, I gave her a look and she nodded and skipped out of my room. I hear her soft footsteps on the stairs then I stood up. I washed my face and followed her down. As I got down I heard happy male laughter and I remembered about Chief Swan. I took a deep breath and went into the dining room where a large bowl of pasta was set in the middle of the table, along with salad and a bowl of bread. Dad and a man of about 38 with curly hair were talking quietly, occasionally laughing. Anne was setting knives and forks down and looked up to shoot my daggers as I came into the room.
"Well here's my oldest girl! Katie, come say hello to Charlie." My Dad beckoned me over and I grimaced, socializing was not my thing.
"Hello." I mumbled, the man smiled timidly back.
"Well, you sure are a stunner. Just like your mother back in the day." I eyed him curiously. I was sure I had seen him before. Anne was scowling to herself, My Dad shot her a reassuring look and then started to talk again.
"Me and Charlie went to Forks high school together when we were your age." My Dad explained, I never knew he grew up here. "Kate just started today." He stated, Charlie nodded thoughtfully and beamed.
"My Bella started there three years ago…she's off with her husband at college at the moment." He said half sad, half proud.
"Bella? I remember her, she was still with Renee last time I heard." My Dad thought, then he and Charlie both grinned. "It's been a long time." My Dad sighed.
"Maybe you should come fishing with me and Billy one day?" Chief Swan asked.
"Billy Black, I haven't seen him in god knows how long. Of course I'll come!" Dinner was awkward from that point, Suzie chucked a slice of bread at me, and I attempted to throw a spoon at her. My Dad had glared whilst Charlie chuckled. Anne was quiet for once, not interrupting the atmosphere of the evening. Once dinner was over, Dad and Charlie watched TV whilst Anne was on the phone to her friends back in San Diego. Suzie and I were washing up and nearly got the whole kitchen soaked in one of our wars. After Charlie left I sulked to bed but didn't sleep for hours. I will say it again, I hate time change.
