Italic's for thoughts
Tails
Bella ran across here new yard spinning for time to time. As she did this she was focusing on trying not to fall on her ass.
"Bella," Her dad Charlie spoke, "I think you got the hang of walking again.
"I know its just so weird," Bella replied as she looked at her father, "you know I've been in the ocean for about 20 years and now I'm on land running, jumping, and dance." She giggled as she spin in a circle.
"Well you should come inside it looks like it about to rain." Charlie looked at clouds fearfully, "And you don't want to turn into a mermaid out here now do you." Bella smiled and ran inside.
"Yummy," She said as she ran into the house smelling there cooking dinner. To night they were having pizza and spicy chicken strips.
LATER
Bella and Charlie where sitting at the dinner table eating.
"So Bells are you excited for your first day of school." Charlie asked trying to fill the awkward silence.
"Of course I am," Bella smiled, "I haven't been to a school in 25 years."
"but you have to remember not to say that to people you look 17 and humans have shorter life's."
"Yeah. How old are you dad?"
"I'll be 1919 next month."
"So you had me when you," Bella paused doing the math, "1319."
That was young for mermaids and merman, and my parents were young and naïve. They thought they were in love but they weren't, sadly after they had me they found that out and my mom left.
"Yeah and that's pretty young when you know your going to live forever." Charlie chuckled, then a loud beeping noise went off. Charlie looked down at his pager and sighed.
"What is it?" Bella wondered.
"They need me down at the station," Charlie said getting up and putting jacket and his ring on.
The ring that makes sure that when we get wet we don't turn into mermaids. Well guys have rings and girls have bracelets but I had a necklace.
"Good thing we don't sleep." Charlie laughed.
"But its still nice that we can," Bella let out a dreamy sighed, "I love dreaming. Ok now be safe." Bella called as Charlie left.
Bella shut and locked the door and suddenly missed the water. So she ran up the stairs and grabbed her necklace so she didn't transform in the rain and ran outside but not before putting her necklace on.
She ran towards the forest and closed her eyes sensing where the closest body of water that she could swim in. There was one five about a mile away, which would be far if she wasn't a mermaid. She ran through the forest and was there in a minute. She smiled as she found her self in a little meadow with a lake right next to it. Bella smiled hugely and started to strip off her shirt and her jeans leaving her in her bra and underwear. She took off her necklace and put it under her shirt and above her jeans and she jumped into the water before she transformed on land.
NEXT DAY
Bella woke up to a loud annoying beeping alarm clock, Oh yeah I forgot about these damn things, Bella thought
She got up and ready for school, then ran down stairs and eat, then she went outside and got into her old truck not as old as her but still old she got it decades ago. She was surprised when it started.
"Damn this thing is old and its still running," She laughed, And I thought I was going to have to walk to school, but I guess you never know.
When she pulled up to the school there was only a few cars there, but she was early. She parked her car and looked at the cars around her some looked fairly new and the others not so much, but one stuck out it was a shiny new Volvo, take looked like it just left the factory.
It had five beautiful people standing around it. Just by looking you could see how they had paired up, it was the blonde tall girl and the huge guy, a short girl who looked like a little pixie and a blonde guy who looked like he was in pain. But there was one guy that wasn't in a pair he had bronze hair he was tall but not the tallest of the three boys.
Bella got out of the car and noticed that it had started the sprinkle, she looked up and a rain drop landed on her nose, her head jerked down and shake. "Rain is weird" she muttered then she heard people laughing. She turned to see who was laugh it was the people next to the Volvo and they were looking at her. Damn that's just what I need people laughing at me.
Bella glared for a second then started off towards the front office. It wasn't like mermaids to hold a grudge
"Hello, I'm Ms. Cope . How may I help you?" The lady at the desk asked.
"Hey my name is Bella I'm new" Bella smiled
"Oh, yes here is your stuff," She said, "This is your schedule, your map and a slip, I need you to get it signed by all your teachers and bring it back to me at the end of the day" she explained it as she handed Bella her stuff one at a time.
"Ok." Bella said and turned to leave the office.
"Have a nice first day," Bella heard her call as she opened the door.
"Thank you," Bella said turning giving her a dazzling smile. As she left the office her smile faded. She walked across the parking lot and looked at her shoe covered feet. When she got to her truck she jumped up onto the hood of the truck.
"Hello, you're the new girl right?" Bella heard the sweet voice and looked up to she the tiny girl that had been leaning on the Volvo.
"Yeah," Bella said giving her a dazzling smile.
"Well I'm Alice and that's my family over there," Alice said giving Bella a equally as dazzling smile. "The blonde girl is Rosalie and her boyfriend is Emmett and Jasper is my boyfriend and then there is Edward."
"I'm Bella."
"You have a really old car." Alice looked at Bella's truck.
"Yeah well I…" Bella stop, How am I suppose to tell her that I got it in the 60s, "My dad got it from a old friend. Who brought it in the 60s"
"Oh," she giggled and hopped up onto the hood of the truck right next to me. "I hope you don't mind."
"Oh no its fine." Bella looked at Alice who was already looking at her and she gave her a smile.
"OH I LOVE YOUR NECKLACE!" Alice yelled, she picked it up not taking it off my neck, "Where did you get it?"
"Uh I got it from," Think Bella someone in your family that no one here well ever talk to. "My grandmother on my moms side."
"Do you know where she got it?" Alice asked. Bella was about to answer when a hand landed on her shoulder.
"Alice leave the poor girl alone." Bella looked to see who the silky voice belonged to and it was Edward. "Your probably scaring her."
Alice looked down upset and she crossed her arms and started to pout.
"She not annoying me." Bella said for the first time that Edward had gotten over there. She gave him a dazzling smile and heard him gasp.
"Yeah Edward now leave me and my new best friend alone." Alice said smiling hopefully at Bella, "Were best friend now right?"
" If you want to be best friends with me." I smiled
"YAY now Edward leave us alone." Edward started to growl quietly so Bella didn't heard but because she's a mermaid she can heard it.
"Are you growling?" Bella asked OH Damn it fuck they think I'm human I shouldn't have been able to hear it,
"How did you hear that it was to low for you to hear?" Edward asked, and Alice looked at Bella weirdly.
"Uhhh I should get to class." Bella said right before running off.
"Wait" Both Alice and Edward yelled. Bella pulled out her schedule and map she was 2 minutes away from her class while walking like a human.
She looked at her schedule again when she sat down memorizing it.

Bella heard someone sit next to her and her head snapped up to see Alice. "Your in this class?" Bella asked.
"Yeah, so why did you run away?" Alice asked. UH come on Bella you know the lie to this its… its…. Oh yeah.
"I have a stronger hearing then most people and I never had any friends because of it. So I was scared that if you knew you wouldn't want to be my friend."
"Don't be silly Bella." Alice smiled. "Oh let me see your schedule"
"Here," Bella laughed.
"Oh I'm going to put a happy face next to every class I have with you and a sad face to the ones i don't." Alice took out her pen and started to check then handed it back to Bella.
