This is my very first fanfic ever so... i really am sorry if there's many grammar mistakes. I hope you would be very kind to point any mistakes that i made.
Disclaimer: i don't own twilight and I never did. However, some characters do belong to me.
Life is totally unpredictable. I hadn't realized that until now, facing the ultimate danger that I had put myself in.
CHAPTER 1
"So, Elizabeth Moore, what are you going to do now?" I said to the girl with long, dark-brown hair. She stared back at me calmly with her gray intelligent eyes. That pale skin of hers almost glistened from the lights. For God's sake, stop admiring her beauty! You've got more to think about. I sighed and stepped away from the mirror that I was facing.
Slowly, walking out of the Ladies' room, I stumbled into another girl. She fell down on her face almost instantly.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry!" I gasped as I helped her up. I caught a glimpse of pale, white skin and brown eyes. I realized that she was Isabella Swan (Bella, people call her), the girl who had been going out with the number one hottest guy in Forks: Edward Cullen. She hadn't been too well now that the Cullens had moved away. How devastating that might had been. I truly felt sorry at her after all.
She spent less time talking to everyone and she looked like a walking corpse. Not that she looked ugly but the expression that she wore was more than painful, I could tell.
She nodded back at me, not even bothering to smile a bit. Her expression assured me that she was okay. I continued, "You got Trig after this, right?" She nodded again, not meeting my eyes. "Can I walk with you?" She nodded once again, beckoning at me to walk beside her. Everyone stared and I could almost hear what they thought.
'Lizzie's walking with Bella. Must be crazy'
'Good for Bella. Now, she got someone's pity – and company.'
'How generous of Lizzie to accompany her. Even I didn't dare to meet Bella's gaze.'
True indeed, everybody else pitied her but didn't have the courage to talk to her. I sat on Bella's other side in the class. I waited until the class was over and asked Bella. "Do you want to have lunch with me?" She shook her head and I remembered that she had been skipping meals, thus making her look unhealthier. I decided to skip my lunch today and talk to her. "Would you join me for a walk?"She shrugged but followed me anyway.
We were in a forest just outside the school. I sat on an uprooted bark. She sat across from me, adjusting herself to this atmosphere. I took a deep breath and finally said, "I was wondering whether you could advise me on this. You see, I have live in Forks like forever and now, my parents had decided to move away, well, not that far but it's at Bellingham and I'm not that kind of girl who likes to socialize. You can see how many friends that I had. I was…wondering.. Was it hard for you to move here?"
She looked at me with an eager expression that I hadn't seen for a long time. She spoke suddenly, her voice suddenly sounded hoarse compared to the nice voice she had had once. "No. It wasn't hard…for me."
It was the very first time since she talked to someone. I stared at her, my eyes almost bulging out from my socket. I straightened my expression and thought of what I should say to her. "So, what do you think I should do on my first day at school there?" Her eyes lit up as we got deeper into this girl talk.
She talked as much as I did in our conversation. Besides Angela, I was her best friend – after Alice Cullen too. No need to talk of Jessica. Her fake friendship with Bella was so obvious. To say it honestly, I hated Jessica.
She advised me of: how not to be showy on the first day, how not to be too modest, be friendly, and try to judge someone's attitude a little. I thanked her and we went to our classes. I didn't see much of her until the day when I moved.
I was in a local candy shop and I was paying for my stuff when I saw Bella, outside, walking like a dead (but beautiful) zombie. That pale skin was another way for me to recognize her. I greeted her as soon as I stepped out of the shop.
"Hey, Bella. Where are you going?"
"Oh.. Hi, Lizzie. Just walking around and thought that I might want to say goodbye to you." She almost smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.
"Thanks for helping me feel better that day. I'm now less worried about being at a new place." I handed her a piece of paper with my number on it. "This is my cell phone's number. Maybe I'll give you my house's number once I get there. Also, thank you for bothering to say goodbye to me. I'm pretty sure that we'll meet again some other day."
She took my paper, glanced at it briefly before keeping it in her jeans pocket. "I'm sure myself. Have a nice trip to Bellingham. I hope you'll be happy there."
"You, too, um…have a good time here."
She looked sad. "Yeah. Sure." When she looked up again, she smiled a bit and we embraced each other. I found that I missed the old, happy Bella. I could only hope that things will turn out fine with her. "Bye. See you again." I half-ran back to my home and finished the rest of the packing. A few of my other friends stopped by and wished me luck. We promised to meet each other again. Making sure that we had each other's numbers, I got into my father's car.
Ten minutes later, I found myself staring into deep forest. "Well, we're out of Forks," my dad, Josh, said, sighing. We all felt sad about moving away. Still, in my dad's blue car, I didn't know that something else was waiting for me in Bellingham. And I didn't know what it was but I was so sure that I would be meeting Bella again in no time.
Review, please.........
