Friends and enemies

Bella's POV

I hate it here. Why is it so gloomy all the time . Why cant it be more like Phoenix with it hustle, the friendly people but most of all the warm sunny weather. I mean sure i am not much for the outdoor sports person(let alone anything that take coordination) but I do get a kick out of watching people make fools out of themselves while I sit in the shade sipping freshly brewed sweet tea. Why did I have to give up my happiness. I sighed. Just so my mom could be with her new husband without the reminder of the one who broke her heart.

I snap out of my thoughts when a loud banging sounded from my door. "Bella get up or you'll be late for your first day of school." Came the loud voice of my father Charlie. I looked up at the clock. it read 7:45 in bright neon green. "Fuck." I muttered quietly to myself had I really just been sitting here for an hour just staring out the window. I quickly got up and went to my closet to pick something out to wear. I quickly decided on a pair of faded bell bottoms, a pair of purple converses, and a purple long sleeve v neck. I ran to the bathroom bring the clothes along to save time. I turned on the shower and while I waited for the water to warm up I brushed my teeth since I'm pretty sure my morning breath would have gotten more gossip than my being the new kid will. I jumped in the shower and did a quick once over with my soapy loofah then I opened my shampoo and poured in in my hands then started to work it into my hair. The room began to fell with the sweet relaxing scent of strawberry. This was my favorite thing to do in the morning the warm water cascading down my body was always relaxing but in the morning its served as my kick start. It gave me time to think about what needed to get done in my day but I didn't even get to enjoy that today as a loud banging seemed to be the theme of the day in this house. "Bells I'm leaving for the station but you can call me if you need anything.

Oh and its 7:55 so you better hurry you don't want to be late on your first day do you?" I silently cursed my father for leaving me to fend for myself but I did need to hurry. So I moved to turn off the shower but instead bumped the wall causing the shampoo I had previously been using to fall and land on my foot. "Oh fuck" what is it with my luck, why have I always been so damn clumsy. I looked down at my foot noticing a large bruise already forming. Well I guess its a good thing I decided to go with the converses instead of my flip-flops. I turned off the water and got out of the shower to towel off then quickly dressed. I looked at myself in the mirror combing my fingers through my hair I was so plain with my long brown tresses, dull mud brown eyes, and my pale skin(you would think I was albino because no matter how much time I spend outdoors in the sun I never tan). I left for the kitchen to see two pieces of toast waiting for me. Well I guess dad didn't leave my to fend for myself after all.

So I garbed the toast and went over to the hooks by the front door to grab my keys when I noticed an extra set of keys with a note that read. Hey bells sorry I had to leave early today so I wont be able to drop you off but you can take the truck this is your set of keys so don't loss them your going to need them to get around. Oh and I left you with the driving direction to your school in your car and don't forget your paperwork so you can get your classes.I laughed. There he goes again being a mom. I grabbed the keys to my new truck and walked out the front door remembering to lock both locks. I looked at the monstrosity that was now mine and laughed. well at least its better than walking. As I hopped in the truck I notice not only have charlie left me driving direction but had put my bag in the car. I slapped my forehead how could I forget some thing as basic as my backpack. Wait where is my cell and my wallet. I started to panic when I saw another note from charlie. I figured you would be to stressed to remember your stuff so I packed it all in your backpack have a nice day sweetie oh and please try to make friends. I sighed silently thanking charlie for thinking ahead. With one last glance at the note I unzipped the bag to grab my cell. I saw a message from my mom saying have a good first day that's when I noticed what time it was. Shit it was already 8:05 and it takes 10 minutes according to the direction to get to the school and the late bell rings at 8:15. So I quickly read and mesmerized the directions and started the car.

It gave a loud roar signifying it's awakening. I sighed wow not only am I going to be late but everyone is going to know It. I slowly pulled out of the driveway to the street and look to see if there was any oncoming traffic not seeing any I gunned it down the road praying that there were no police officers on patrol. By the time i pulled in the parking lot it was 8:13. Woo I made it with two minutes to spare.

I parked in the only spot left which was between a silver Volvo and a big red Jeep. I looked at the Volvo and couldn't help but think who was the rich little brat was that brought that to school. Letting the thought pass I got out of my car only to bump in to a brick wall or person I couldn't tell all I could do what land on my butt. "Hey sorry are you okay?" I looked up to see a fit young man looking down at me. "Yeah I'm fine. sorry I wasn't looking were I was going." Why did I have to be so dang clumsy already making myself look bad and I haven't even made it in the building yet. "Hey so you must be the new kid Isabella. My name is Mike. Would you like a tour of the school?" Wow that's not creepy at all but I do need help finding the office and getting to my classes so I guess I should take his offer. "Yeah sure Mike and call me Bella I hate the name Isabella it makes me sound so old." He just nodded and offered me a hand which till now it had slipped my mind that I was still on the floor. I took his hand then dusted off my pants. "Thanks" he smiled "no problem I know how hard it must be being the new kid in the middle of high school. So anyway the office is the first door to you right when you enter the building"

I nodded my head and follow him inside to the door he specified as the office. Then he turned "Well I better get going I'm already late but by the time your done in there I should be out of class." With that said he run off down the hall and around the corner. Great from the sounds of it this is going to take forever. I sigh for the umpteenth time today as I walked into the office. At the front desk sat a petite blond who looked like she was in her mid to late 20's. As if she felt my stare she looked up. "Hi how may I help you?" She said in a soft voice. I guess she must be new also. "Yes I'm Isabella Swan I have my paper work and I'm here to pick up my schedule." She smiled. "Thank you that makes my job a whole lot easier. Here is your card make sure to have all your teachers sign it. Oh and here is a map of the school." She laughed "don't want you getting lost now do we." I took the for offered card then the map and handed over my paperwork before heading out the door. I looked over the map, the school had a pretty simple layout and all my classes except gym were petty much in the same area. My first class was literature I looked up noticing it was in the same direction Mike had run off in.

I walked in to the class, everybody stop doing what they where doing to stare at me as I approached the teacher letting her know I was the new student and that I needed her to sign my card. Why are they all stared at me I know I'm the new kid but really is there a reason they all are staring at me. I scanned the room looking at all the faces I saw an empty seat next to a girl that looked more like a pixie than a human with her unnaturally flawless skin,her short black spiky hair, and not to mention how small she looked. The teacher took my card and signed it. The teacher turned toward the class. "Class this is Bella she is new here if you haven't already notice and please lets make her feel welcome here." Then she turned back toward me. "Take the empty seat next to Alice. Alice please catch Bella up on what we went over so far today in class and let her know what the assignment is. So Alice is her name it fits her. I walk over and took my seat to come face to face with Alice. "Um... hi" I managed to mutter out in my shock. Wow lame not only is everyone looking at me funny but now I gave them more reason to talk about me. "Hi as you already know I'm Alice so anyway introductions aside let me see your schedule." I handed her my card and she looked it over "it looks like I have 4th period biology and 6th period gym with you." I smiled well at least she seems nice I hope we can be friends.

After she handed back my card and explained what happened in class and the assignment it was few minutes till class was over but for some reason I couldn't get over the feeling of eyes on my back so I gave in to my curiosity. Turning in my seat to look behind me I noticed a girl in the back glaring at me. What had I done to piss her off. Man smooth Bella already gaining enemies one your first day.

As I ripped my eyes from her the bell rang, I quickly grabbed my stuff and walked quickly out of class to get to my next class. My next class was trigonometry I basically went trough the same drill as the last class but I did meet another nice person by the name of Angela. Not only did I have her in this class but in my 5th and 6th periods so the only class I didn't know anyone in was 3rd period creative writing (sure I didn't need the class since I had literature but I love writing imaginative stories,so it was great for working on my skills). At the end of class Angela asked if I wanted to sit with her and her friends at lunch. Well I guess I should I have no one else to sit with. So I agreed. Taking creative writing may have been the smartest thing I ever did. Sure the first response I got from the class was the same as any other class but when I went to take my seat I met the most entrapping eyes I have ever seen I couldn't help but feel pulled into them. I didn't know how long I stared into those eyes until I heard the bell ring signifying the class was over I blinked had I really just ignored the whole lesson and stared in a complete strangers eyes the whole time.

There was something about those eyes that made my feel safe as people filed out of the room I tried to get a good look look at him I laughed quietly to myself. Why did he look some much like Alice they could almost be twins the only difference really besides gender was the color oh their hair and height. I glanced up at the clock realizing that the passing period is almost over so I quickly gathered my things and sprinted to my next class miraculously I managed to make it there without bumping into anyone or at least that's what I thought when I came barreling through the door running in to someone damn I know I shouldn't have said anything I was so close. When I looked up to see who it was I ran into, I saw was a beautiful caramel skin tone strong arms and thighs that had just the right of padding to soften the hard lines, she had curves in all the right places (not that I was looking or anything) but the thing that stood out to me the most were her eyes just a couple shades darker than your normal hazel that's when I was met with the angry glare from 1st period. Shit there goes any chance of ever being her friend. "I'm so sorry I didn't see you there." all I got in return was a glare. She got up, dusted her self off then walked to her desk without speaking a word. I got up quickly stepping on something as the teacher entered the room. I handed him my card like i had all the other teachers but there was one problem the only open seat was next to the mystery girl that seemed to hate my whole existence. Great can this day get any worse. I just tried to ignore the burn of the glares directed my way. I was relieved when the bell for lunch rang. Thank you God for saving me. I quickly packed my bag and left the room hoping to avoid a confrontation. I slowly made my way to what I assumed was the cafeteria. I watched kids stream in and out so I made my way inside it was much bigger than I expected. I scanned the cafeteria and saw a line of people getting food so I walk toward the lane but unfortunately my luck struck again as I ran into the counter that the trays were sitting on causing them all to fall with a major crash. Great now everyone was looking at me again.

I just shook my head when a hand landed on my shoulder I looked up meeting the glass framed eyes that belonged to Angela. "Hey are you okay?" Her voice was full of concern. "Yeah I'm fine thanks for coming to check on me." Man whats up with me today. "Hey did you still wanna come sit with me and my friends." "Sure as long as your not worried I will embarrass you too much." "Non sense accidents happen to everyone. Now come on lets go" She grabbed my wrist leading my through the crowded room hey I know your new and all but me and my friends are going to hang after school if you wanna tag along we are going to la push. Cool I made a friend. We traveled in silence till we came to our destination. I scanned the faces at the table I noticed two faces. Too bad one of them was someone I was trying to avoid that's right she was there glaring away boring holes into me. I swore if looks could kill I'd have been dead since first period. I sat in between Angela and Mike but I was still across from her. Why oh why did they have to be friends. That's when the cafeteria went silent and all eyes were on the doors as a beautiful blond came walking through the holding the hand of the biggest high school kid I've ever seen. "Hey who are they?" Angela turned to me "Those are the Cullens, the blond that just came in is Rosalie and her boyfriend Emmett is the big guy."

I nodded my understanding when another blond came in this one though he was a male. "That is Rosalie's twin brother Jasper. I could see the resemblance. Then my eyes met the eyes that trapped me earlier today. "That is Edward I see that way your looking at him don't get your hopes up he hasn't go out with any of the girls that have ever approached him." That when the door open once again. "And I sure you know Alice your guys have a few classes together." "LISA" came the happy high pitched voice of Alice. Who is Lisa? That's when Alice came run toward the table and the mystery girl stood up and caught Alice in a hug. Lisa? " Hey Li what happened to your earring?"SHIT.

Lisa's POV

I groaned waking up to the sound of howling in the woods and the chirping of birds. I sat up in bed to be greeted by the smell of pancakes, eggs, turkey bacon, and oatmeal. Why does she always have to get up so early. I mean I love that she makes me breakfast every morning but for gosh sake it was 6:30am does that woman ever sleep. A light knocking came from my door "who is it?" Even though I knew who it was but it is my way of letting her know that I am awake. "Its me sweetie I made a special breakfast for your first day of school." Came the voice of my guardian. I sighed "I'll be down in a minute Rane and thank you for breakfast." "Your welcome. Ill see you in a few minutes Ill make sure I keep your food warm." I just sat there for a few moments till I heard footsteps on the stairs. I got up and moved to the linen closet to grab my favorite big fussy yellow towel then I moved to the bathroom to take my morning shower. I turned on the water to my desired temperature and jumped right in. I let out a content sigh as the hot water washed over my body. Man you got to love that tank-less water heater that Rane had them put in when she had them renovated this old house. I opened my favorite peppermint shampoo pouring it in my hand then working it through my shoulder length hair. Man I love this shampoo it seemed to awaken my scalp leaving a lovely tingly sensation behind.

After a lovely 30 minute shower I finally emerged from the steamy bathroom to walk in my room where my clothes for the day where laying already pressed and ready wear. Why does she always treat me like a child that can't do anything of themselves. No matter. I just put on the freshly-pressed white tee with my name elegantly scripted in brown on the front. Then I slipped in to my mid thigh khaki style brown shorts that I with help form Rane had alter to add a brown skirt like train to one side that reach mid calf it was sequence to where it sparkled in the right light. I walked to my wall length mirror to check my outfit (which ended up being a good think because I had forgotten my white studded belt.) then I put on my earrings my mother gave me (can't forget those,they are the last thing my mom gave me before she died.) before walking downstairs to join Rane in the kitchen. "Hey kiddo. Cute outfit I'd say you did a good job on altering those shorts." "Yeah thanks for the help." I grumbled out. why does she still call me that. Nothing will ever change with her. "Hey Li am I still giving you a ride to school?" "Yeah. Why?" "I just wanted to know if you mind if we leave early I need to run an errand before I dropping you off." "Sure I don't care its not like anything exciting happening early at school anyways." "Cool lets go then." with that she quickly got out of her seat, grabbed her keys, slipped into her flip-flops and was out the door before I even was able to leave my seat. "Forget you and your dang inhuman abilities." I walked out the door and got in the car to hear a giggle come from Rane "so where are we going?" I spat angrily not liking her smug look that said 'I know something that you don't.' "no where special. I just need your opinion on a few things." "yeah yeah sure." "you better watch you tongue young lady." "what the fuck are you going to do put me in time out." I glared hard at Rane when she pulled the car to the side of the road.

She turned her head so that we made eye connect her normal lovely eyes swimming with rare to her emotions. What the fuck was the fear I saw in her eyes but soon the emotion was masked by anger. I shrank into my seat to escape the glare. Now don't get me wrong every little scares me but the last time Rane was angry it didn't end up too pretty. Rane sighed then pulled the car back on to the road "sorry Li I didn't mean to scare you." I just nodded my head. An uncomfortable silence surrounded us. After a few minutes we pulled into a parking lot. "We're here" Rane announced parking the car. I got out the car only to realize where she brought me. I looked out on a lot full of used cars that's right Rane took me to a car dealership. I was knocked from my trance when a salesman approached me. "Hey young lady are you looking to buy a car." I looked at him as if he was really that dumb. Duh I'm looking for a car you ass hat I'm here at the dealership after all but before I could voice my thought Rane spoke up. "Yes. She is, but nothing over an '09 it's her 17th birthday in 2 weeks and I wanted her to have a car to drive around so she has a bit of freedom." I looked at Rane astonished. Even after our little spat this morning she still was buying me a car for my birthday. "Oh and Lisa you can pick out anything you like that is like I said before as long as it was made before '09." I smiled and turned to the salesman "Do you have any yellow convertibles older than '09?" "Well we do have one but it is a little pricey." I turned to Rane and looked at her pleadingly. She laughed " Hey don't look at me I told you that you can get whatever you want." I nodded and turned back to the salesman. "Can we see it?" He just nodded and took us farther into the lot passing several nice looking cars but nope of them called to me so I didn't even give them a second glance. After a few minutes I was starting to think that he was walking around in circles to get me to change my mind and get a different car but I was set on seeing my little yellow convertible. That's when Rane spoke up for me. "Hey Steven are we going to see that car or what."

Steven? I saw the man flinch "ye... ye... yes we are I was just had to remember where we moved it." he sucks at lying. " that's bull shit Steven now instead of wasting our time take my baby girl to that car." Rane said in a low angry tone. "of course it right down here." we walk farther down the line when it came into view. I can't believe that the car was an '07 Eos .It called to me with its bright canary yellow paint job. As we got up close I noticed all the detailing looked like it was done in chrome. The interior was black with a large stripe of yellow strip down the middle of each seat and the headrests. The dashboard and the doors' interior was black leather. It had a navigation system already put in and a cord for me to plug in a musical device. I was awestruck. This car had everything I wanted. "I'll take it" Rane whispered to the salesman. "you haven't even test drove it." I heard Rane sigh "we are kind of pressed for time she has school in 20 minutes and its a 10 minute drive." "okay well lets go to my office to fill out the paper work and set a payment play that fits you." "how about you give her the keys and I stay here to fill out the paper work." "but I can't do that its against company policy." "What if I told you I was paying with cash?" the salesman turned and tossed me the keys "be gentle with her she is worth $35,000 dollars. I'd hate to see what the insurance on that baby is going to cost." I looked at Rane. She shook her head "just go for it and sweetie happy 17th birthday." I ran up and gave her a big hug, then a kiss on the cheek "thanks big sis." I run to the car I couldn't believe it this car was really going to be mine. I got in, put on my seat belt, adjusted the mirrors, then put the key in the ignition. I turn that key and the engine gave a quiet roar the purred like a small kitten. Wow you can barely hear the engine. I slowly pulled out of the lot on my way to school. Lets see what this baby can do. Lets just say I made it to school in less than 5 minutes.

I scanned the lot of a space I found one towards the football field. Before I even got out the car Angela and Mike where by my side of the car. Wow that's right this baby is now my car. "hey Li nice car. When did you get this, I don't remember seeing this when I was at your house Saturday." "Hey thanks Angela. I got it this morning its an early birthday gift from Rane" "Wow nice hey is your sis still single I wouldn't mind a suga mama." "you know what fuck off newton be glad I'm in a good mood otherwise I'd beat your face in." "i would love to be off fucking but I'm missing your hot..." his sentence was cut off by Alice smacking him in the back of the head. "Hey Li nice car I see Rane must have given you your gift early." "Yeah. So are you going with us to la push after school this time?" Alice's face wrinkled in disgusted at the mention of the name. "No thanks. you have fun without me plus I have a family thing tonight." "yeah sure you just didn't find any of the boys on the rez hot." I laughed "but nether do you Angela." "So I put my feelings aside to hang with you and your little boyfriend Jacob just so your sis doesn't come down there and kill him for deflowering you." My face started to heat up with blush "Really Ang you know they are taking it slow" came Alice's sarcastic remark. "You too Alice." They both just nodded when the bell rang. "Come on guy's time to kick off the new school year at least the three of us have class together." I nodded. "You can say that again." Man last year English was so boring with out my two best friends. We slowly made our way into the building when we heard a loud rumbling then a backfire. What the fuck someone really needs to put their car down. "I wonder who that is?" Angela seemed really curious. "It's probable the new girl." huh. "What are you talking about Alice." "I heard that during the summer that a new girl came to stay with sheriff Swan. Rumor has it that it is she is his long lost daughter." My face mimicked Alice's "gross who would fuck him."

"Lisa" I turned to see the principal coming toward me. Fuck really already in trouble. Great. "Watch your language young lady I know you were raised better than that now the three of you better get to class the bell is about to ring in a minute." "Yes 'um" all three of us said simultaneously as we hurried into class. The bell rang right as we got in to your seats only for the teacher to rearrange us by assigning seats. I sighed great now I'm sitting in the back of the class Angela is in the front because of her glasses and Alice is in the middle with an empty seat next to her. After 20 minutes the teacher told us our assignment for tonight and had given us the rest of the period to work on it. The class room fell silent when the door opened reviling a new student. So Alice was right there is a new kid in school. "Class this is Bella she is new here if you haven't already notice and please lets make her feel welcome here." Wow nice one make it seem like we are asses to all new people then the teacher turned back to Bella. "Take the empty seat next to Alice. Alice please catch Bella up on what we went over so far today in class and let her know what the assignment is." Bella just walked over to the seat and sat down. I guess she must have been in deep thought because she jumped when she saw Alice standing next to here desk. "Um... hi" Bella finally managed to say. Wow smooth dumb ass.

"Hi as you already know I'm Alice so anyway introductions aside let me see your schedule." Bella handed her card to Alice and she looked it over "it looks like I have 4th period biology and 6th period gym with you." Bella smiled. I glared at that. That bitch better not be trying to steal my best friend or even think about hitting on her. After Alice handed back her card and explained what happened in class and the assignment. it was few minutes till class was over and I was still glaring at her. Well she must have felt it because she turned around and made eye contact for a brief second before turning back around. fuckin wuss. The bell rang so I got up to go to computers. I just sat through two periods bored as hell because my two best friends didn't have class with me. I was relieved when the bell for forth period rang. Finally man I didn't think I was going to make it much longer. I walked to the biology room to see Alice standing next to the teacher desk waiting for me. "hey Al so where are we..." I never got to finish my sentence as I was hit from behind. I turned to see who hit me for my eyes to fall upon Bella. Now I was really angry I was about to say something when I heard the teacher down the hall so I just got up and took a seat somewhere. I faintly heard Bella say something to me but I was too angry to understand what ever she said. She got off the floor as the teacher came in, she handed him her card, and he pointed in my direction. What the fuck did that bitch say to him. She just sheepishly walked toward me when I noticed that I had an empty seat next to me. Great now I have to deal with sitting next to her the rest of the year. All I could do the whole period was glare at her in-between righting down notes. when the bell rang she quickly left the class. Well at least I can have a Bella free lunch with my friends.

So I walked to the cafeteria and sat at my groups normal table. I was finally getting comfortable just siting with the guys and Angela when we heard a loud crash. What the fuck was that. Angela disappeared in the direction the sound came from after a few minutes she returned with that bitch of a new kid. Great my good mood has officially meet its end. When her eyes landed on me I glared at her. She looked away quickly again much to my delight. She then took a seat next to Angela and that stupid newton kid. When the cafeteria got quiet I knew my salvation for this annoyance had finally arrived for lunch."Hey who are they?" Angela turned to Bella "Those are the Cullens, the blond that just came in is Rosalie and her boyfriend Emmett is the big guy. That is Rosalie's twin brother Jasper. That is Edward I see that way your looking at him don't get your hopes up he hasn't gone out with any of the girls that have ever approached him." I mentally chuckled at that of course the new kid would have a crush on him though I personally don't see why. "And I'm sure you know Alice you guys have a few classes together." "LISA" came the happy high pitched voice of Alice. I looked up when I heard Alice call my name. That's when Alice came run toward the table and i stood up and caught Alice in a hug. "Hey Li what happened to your earring?" SHIT.

I quick let go of our hug to check my ears. I became felled with rage and despair when my right hand didn't meet any earring. I slowly replayed my day through my head trying to figure out where I could have lost it when the scene from biology where Bella ran into me played. I lost it. " You fucker its your fault my earrings gone." Bella shrank away guiltily "what are you talking about Li?" came Angela's voice. "That little fucker right there bowled me over in class causing me to lose my earring that my mom gave me." I say realization hit the faces of those around me when Bella spoke up "I'm sorry I didn't mean to run into you, I'm sorry I made you lose an earring but I can buy you a new pair I'm sure your mom won't notice." "Oh shit was the last thing I heard as I flipped the table to get a hold of Bella hitting only two times before Emmett came and ripped me off of her and carried my out to the parking lot. After a few minutes I calmed down enough to cry. I felt a pair of tiny arms wrap around me.

"You going to be okay Lisa?" I wiped the last tear that fell "Yeah I'm fine Al." "Li I'm sorry but I called Rane and she thinks its best that you go home and relax." "Yeah she is probably right." "She said she will be home when you get there I told her that was unnecessary because I was going to go with you but said that I needed to stay at school but she did say that if you didn't feel like driving I was suppose to ask if you wanted her to come get you." I just shook my head I really don't feel like driving but I don't want her to come get me ether and then there is my car. "Well there is one more option I could drive you home in your car and have ether your sis can drop my off at home or one of my siblings can pick me up." I nodded. "Thanks Al you always know just what I need." "Come on don't get all mushy on me that's my job. Now lets get you home before you try and kill her again."I laughed at that. The drive home was comfortably silent.
