"Bailey calm down! I just didn't want to tell you, because I knew you'd get like this!" My mother shouted up at me as I stormed up the stairs.

Did she even consider that maybe the fact that she had kept it from me may have made me more angry than her just telling me in the first place? God, I fucking hate that woman sometimes. She had to go and ruin a good day. Now how the fuck was I going to tell her?

I threw myself onto my bed and buried my head under the covers.

How the hell could she not tell me I was moving? And to Forks Washington too. Of course it had to be the one place that no chick at school would stop talking about. I could imagine it now;

"Bailey, please take pictures of Forks High! That is where you're going, right?"

"Oh my God! You're going to see The Edward Cullen! Why didn't you let me come along?"

I sighed and sprawled myself across the bed, folding my hands underneath my chin and looking up, out the window. I closed my eyes. I needed to forget about this. I needed to calm the hell down. I ran my hand slowly down my face, tracing it back up again to massage the bridge of my nose.

Deep breaths. It's not a big deal, Bailey. You're just moving to some random town in the middle of nowhere, that more than likely will make every girl in school either love you or hate you. Forget about that bad things that happened today. Remember what Mr.B said? He said he was going to recommend you for a college science class. He said you had the highest I-Q in the school, remember?

A small grin tugged at my lips at the thought.

Just empty your little head and everything'll be fine. I focused on blanking my mind and it worked somewhat.

In result to my eyes being closed my ears had become more sensitive. Now that I was focusing on outside my body rather than in I could hear the leaves rustling in the wind. When I focused a little harder I could hear a couple of birds twittering at each other, probably around the little bird feeder dad and I had built 4 years ago.

Man, I missed him, no matter how much I tried to deny it. He was too busy with work now to even talk to me.

I heard my door click open and kept my eyes shut. Who knew, maybe if they thought i was asleep they'd leave me alone.

"Bailey, where are you? I see shoes here, but no person." I heard a young voice say.

I listened as their feet shuffled around the floor and as they poked around the room, lifting up the skirt of my bed to see if I was there.

"Hmm, maybe she's on the roof again."

The door closed and I heard the girls little feet prancing down the stairs.

Safe at last. The door burst open and I jumped.

"Bailey Joann Riggs! I am very disappointed in you! First you run off, without even listening, now you hide from your cousin! What am I supposed to do with you?" I heard my mother's voice screech from my door.

Spoke to soon.

She had every right to be mad. I mean, I'd probably be a little mad at myself too if I were her, but she should have understood that I had a lot of information to take in and process. Moving was a big thing.

I rose from my bed, with a goofy grin on my face that would make even the Cheshire Cat jealous . I curled my toes into the carpet, which was an ugly mauve color. I had always hated it. One time I went as far as to rip out some of it. I chuckled at the memory.

"Are you even listening to me? That's it! When we get to Forks I'm not letting you outside for three weeks you hear? And no computer, no telephone, no nothing! Three weeks!"

She'd have to let me out to go to school or do the groceries like she always did. She didn't even specify on what she meant by "computer" and I assume "no nothing" would mean I would have to have something. I didn't say that though, I just nodded and waltzed out the door.

Today was just brilliant. I smiled. Waving hello to my cousin as she ran over to give me a hug.

"I missed you so much!" She sang.

RIIIIIIIIINGGGG RIIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG

I groped around the side of my bed searching for my alarm clock.

"Shut the hell up you piece of shit. It's too early!" I mumbled.

Ah, sweet silence. I stretched my arms and yawned as wide as my jaw could open. Finally, I closed my mouth and rubbed my eyes. Gah, they were so puffy. I could tell without even looking in the mirror I was able to scare small children.

I threw my legs over the side of my bed and made to pick an outfit from the pile. I dug into it, causing my room to experience a clothes shower. Eventually I found some decentish clothes and slipped them on. I looked in the mirror. Hey, the clothes weren't that bad other than the fact they were insanely wrinkled and the flannel shirt was 3 sizes too big, my dads.

I examened my face in the mirror. My eyes were lighter today, my dark circles were bad, but they always were. I smeared some foundation on to help a bit and pushed up my eyelashes with my fingers. That was it. I grabbed my backpack and headed downstairs.

The floor creaked as I scowerd the pantry for something edible. My eyes flickered to the frosted flakes box perched near the empty Fruity Pebbles.

Food.

I shoved it in my mouth when I saw the clock on the microwave.

7:30 AM

The bus should already be there.

"Shit, shit, shit." I chanted slipping on some shoes and rushing out the door.

Then I saw the most wonderful thing in the world. The bus, not leaving without me.

I climbed up the steps and to my usual spot, third from the back, window seat. I stared out the window at the outside world.

"Um, can I sit here?" I voice muttered.

I turned my head towards them and nodded.

The girl had bouncy blond curls and the brightest blue eyes I had ever seen. Usually I didn't like the blondes, but she, she had something about her that made her seem nice.
