Chapter 1: junior year

Bella POV:

I've been dreading this all summer, what kid doesn't? The start of the new school year, in a new town accompanied with new assholes-yay. I moved into Charlie's house in July after my mom flitted off with Phil, her new husband. I'm not mad, I cant be but that doesn't mean I'm too ecstatic to be in gloomy ass Forks, Washington. I'm pale enough and although the beaming sun in Arizona really did nothing to my complexion it definitely helped my mood and I doubt Forks can do that.

Anyway, I digress. Charlie isn't bad, I only remember him from my childhood but from what I gathered over the summer, I don't see him trying to be a super dad, he leaves me alone and I like that, and in turn I make sure he has dinner and a nice lunch for work. Being Chief of Police doesn't leave a lot of time for cooking with his hours. But anyway here I am, six thirty in the morning on my first Monday of junior year and of course-it's raining. But I think I'm done mulling over my mood, it's time to get ready and even though I don't have high hopes for this school it doesn't help the nervousness creep up on me, it's the first day after all.

I get out of my full sized bed and make my way over the closet, i'm not really sure what to wear but its not like I have a lot anyway so I grab my dark green long sleeve sweater, dark blue skinny jeans and my black beat up chucks and make my way over to the shower. Its a quick one, in and out. I dry off and get dressed looking in the mirror all the while doing so, I'm not a sight to see by any means, average weight, average height, average boobs, decent butt. But that's okay, I get dressed and brush out my brown hair till it falls in nice waves down to the middle of my back and stare at myself in the mirror, I look tired but healthy and on any other day that would be enough but it's the first day of junior year and i'm going to try. So i grab my old drugstore mascara and apply a few coats and apply some pink lip gloss, its not alot but its something and that's good enough for me.

I look at my watch and see its now seven am, I have twenty minutes to walk in and brave the storm that is public school, so with my head held high and the nervousness pushed to the back of my brain, I grab my backpack and my phone set out.


A/N: wow this looked way longer on Google Docs... I'm sorry its so short, i'll go ahead and upload the second chapter now lol

so this is my second time trying to write after a 4yr break..so I'm definitely going to be rusty but I ask that you bear with me. I'ts going to be a slow burn type of story with heavy detail on the characters and their relationships, I really want to take my time and hopefully by the end this might be a pretty cool read! please leave a review and let me know what you think, as of right now this is going to be rated T but may turn into M for situations. and the smoking lol please dont read this and think that smoking is cool or non harmful, this isnt to encourage any smoking but i wanted bella to have something different.
