Chapter 1
Karlie pov
I
hurried onto the plane, my best friend Deidra by my side. We had just
ran from our parents, and were heading to Forks,
Washington.
Deidra fell asleep as soon as she was in a seat, of course, she
easily fell asleep, I smiled at the thought. We were both 17 and had
blonde hair, only mine is more brown; we had the same personalities
but I was way more clumsy and a little more mature, except if I had
sugar, I can go a little crazy and hyper. I must have fallen asleep,
because I woke up to Deidra shaking me and yelling my name, "Karlie,
wakey wakey, we are in Seattle!"
I sighed and stood up and hurried off the plane, Deidra followed
behind me. We grabbed our suitcases, filled with all of our favorite
things, back in California. I came from a kind of rich family, so I
had all the money we would need and my grandma's credit card in case
of emergencies. " Um, Karlie, I hate to be a pain, but how are
we going to drive to Forks, we don't have a car."
I hadn't
thought of that, "Well, I have experience in Grand
Theft Auto."
"
The video game?"
" Yes, but how different can it be in
real life?"
She shrugged as we walked out into the chilly,
Seattle air, I knew I would have to get used to no sun for awhile,
"Okay, I'm thinking, fast and expensive, like that Ferrari
Enzo."
Yes, i was a total autophile; I couldn't help but be raised in a
family of car fanatics. Deidra stared at me like I had two heads, "A
what?"
" It's a nice car that goes fast and is my dream
car and there so happens to be one right there!" I pointed
towards it.
" Whoa, that is nice, but the owner probably has
the keys."
"So?"
" Fine, do your magic and
steal the nice car."
I smiled as we walked casually towards
it, "Wait, Karlie, I want a Mountain
Dew!"
"
No caffeine for you or me for a while, okay?"
"But, I
want one!"
" My final answer is...no."
I went to
the drivers side of the Ferrari and peaked inside, 'well what do you
know, it's unlocked;, I thought. I opened the door and stepped
inside, I breathed in the leather smell and rubbed the seat. Deidra
opened the back doors and threw her luggage in, I threw mine over the
seat and watched Deidra get into the passenger seat and put her
seatbelt on, I rolled my eyes.
" Okay, how are you going to
start the car?"
" Easy, do you have a bobby pin?"
"
I thought that was for locks?"
" It works for cars to,
just do you have one?"
Deidra dug into her pockets and found
one and handed it to me, I smiled as I put it in the ignition and
turned, the car purred to life, I screamed with excitement, Deidra
sighed, " We are probably going to be on America's
Most Wanted."
I
glared at her as I backed the beautiful car out of the parking lot of
the airport.
I drove-Deidra slept- through the streets
of Washington
a little faster than the speed limit, but we were already counted as
criminals, it didn't matter.
After a few hours, we
passed a sign that said, 'Welcome to Forks.' I smiled and sped
through the small town, I was becoming glad no cops were in sight, to
see little old me in a fancy car, going over 80 mph. I passed an old
two story house and pulled a U-turn and parked in front of the house,
it was two stories and it looked abandon, " Deidra, wake up, I
found us a house!" Her eyelids fluttered, and then she opened
them, "Huh?"
" I found a house; I knew we might be
lucky." I smiled like a little kid with $20 in a candy store.
We
opened the doors of the car and stepped out into the misty, cold air,
I shivered, only because I was wearing a tank top and shorts, I
normally didn't get cold. Deidra on the other hand, wore jeans and a
big jacket. We walked up to the door and Deidra knocked, "Um,
Deidra, I don't think anyone is in there."
" Well, you
never know, some hobo or something might live in here."
I
shrugged and turned the doorknob, it was locked. 'Good thing I went
through kick-boxing, well for a month' I thought. I raised my foot up
and kicked the door, it fell down, "Well, that was easy, thought it
would pick a fight with me." I smirked and walked in, Deidra
stayed by the broken down door, "That needs to be fixed."
"
No, really", I said sarcastically, that was another problem I
had, my sarcasm. Deidra walked in, "It's dusty."
I
glanced back at her and sighed, "You're right, but we can live,
it has a kitchen, living room, and there must be a bathroom and
bedrooms upstairs."
She nodded and walked around, "Um,
don't we have to go to school?"
I looked at her, "I'm
sure we can get enrolled in the high school here, it's almost time
for school to start here, so it should be easy."
" Okay,
whatever you say, whoa I just rhymed!"
I rolled my eyes and
went up the stairs, and I was right there was three doors facing me,
I walked to the one in front of me and turned the knob and the door
slowly opened, like one of those doors in the cheesy scary movies
that most people are scared of, the room was not as large as I hoped,
but it had a view of the front yard, a tree was right outside the
window, " Guess this one will do for me", I mumbled and set
my suitcase in the middle of the empty room.
"Deidra, come on,
you can have the other room, it's bigger, and I know you well enough,
that you probably want it." I heard her hurry up the stairs and
into the room next to mine, "Uh huh, it is bigger!" I smiled
and went to my suitcase and pulled out some of my giant blankets I
packed in it, like I needed them though. I smiled and pulled out my
laptop and its charger and plugged it into the nearest wall outlet,
my laptop was my baby. I dug around my clothes and found my cell
phone, and turned it on, I waited for it patiently and played with my
hair. I looked back down and saw I had 5 new voicemails and 10 new
txt messages, all from my parents. I erased everything and hurried
downstairs, "There has to be a phone book somewhere", I
mumbled. Hidden in the corner I found what I was looking for, but it
was all covered dust, I sighed and picked it up, blowing off the
front cover. I flipped through it and found the number for the high
school, I dialed. I sat on the floor while it rang, " Hello,
Forks
High School,
how may I help you?"
" Hi, I was wondering if I could
register me and a friend, we just moved here."
" Umm,
okay, I need your names, address, and all that other stuff."
I
sighed and gave her all the necessary information. I snapped my phone
shut, and sighed, I could tell my life along with Deidra's was really
going to change; only I didn't how much it would.
