(bella's POV)
I waved goodbye and good riddance to the one person who made my life hell. My mom. I boarded the plane which was taking me to some god forsaken little town called Forks. When my dad left a few years after I was born my mom became very mean and she blamed me for him leaving. Then when I was around eight, weird things started to happen. Like, when I wished for an ice-cream one sunny day it just appeared in my hand. Thank goodness no one was around. Weird things like that kept happening to me and it just got worse. Over time I learnt how to move things with me mind, I became very strong and agile and I always knew when something was going to happen just before it actually does happen.
Then, when I turned thirteen my mom meet this guy named Phil and they got married when I was fifteen. He hated me and I hated him. He called me a freak and tried to abuse me but I was to strong for that so after a year he stopped trying. So, now me being eighteen, my mom picked her husband over me and sent me to my dad's place. I was more than willing to go. It had become hell living with them. It was a short flight to Washington, but I used the time to reflect. I used to wonder why I had been given these powers and why people were always trying to kill me. It seemed like every other week there was some very strong person looking to take my life. Maybe I was given these powers to protect myself. I guess I'll never know and that's fine with me. I always prefer knowing just enough then knowing too much. I wonder what I'll find in Forks. When my mom was nice she used to tell me that it was small and boring and that if I ever went there I would be demented with boredom after the first week. Finally I had arrived, I was hardly surprised to find it lashing rain, I hoped it wouldn't be like this the whole time. I never though that my life would come to this, even though my mom is sending me away, I feel like I am trying to run from my true self. I don't know if I should count my powers as a blessing or as a curse. I guess I will wait to see what kind of trouble I will create here before I make that decision. After I collected my luggage which consisted of only one suitcase. Since I had been living in Phoenix I don't have a lot of warm clothes, so I will have to go shopping for new stuff. Ugh, I hate shopping. I try to do the bare minimum of shopping. I walked out of the airport to find Charlie waiting for me by the cruiser. I hate that thing, its so old and battered.
"Hey, Bells," he greeted me with a warm smile. Wow I haven't seen one of those in a while.
"Hey Ch-dad," I replied, phew that was close, apparently I am not allowed call him Charlie. He took my only bag and put it in the back, I got in the front with him. We made the usual small talk and then we fell into a semi awkward, semi not awkward silence. Traffic was slow and we arrived at Charlie's house after a very boring hour. He brought my bag inside the house.
"Are you hungry Bells," he asked, I wasn't feeling all to hungry at the moment
"No dad, I ate on the plane," ok I know that was a lie but I wasn't hungry and I had a feeling he was going to make me eat something anyway. Before he could say anything else I asked him where my room was. He showed me my room, it was small with a double bed, a desk, a very old looking computer and a wardrobe with shelves. It was only seven o' clock so I decided to unpack my few belongings. Seeing as that didn't take long I had all my stuff in my wardrobe by half past seven. I then had the idea to take a long relaxing shower. I grabbed my toiletry bag and headed for the bathroom. I was met by Charlie at the top of the stairs.
"Oh, hey dad I'm going to take a shower and then go to bed because I'm really tired"
"Alright Bells, see you tomorrow."
On my way to the bathroom I tripped over the rug on the ground and I knew then that I would come to hate that rug. It was one of those rugs that everyone tripped over it. It took me a while to figure out how to work the shower but once I got in I was so relaxed. The only reason why I got out was that the water had run cold and I didn't want to have a cold for my first day of school tomorrow. Ughh, I hated going to a new school, everyone looked at you like you had three heads or something and last time I checked I only had one.
I dried off and I tied my long brown hair back and left it to dry on its own, not realizing how tired I was, I changed into my pyjamas quickly and dove under the bed covers. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was deep in sleep. I was in one of those sleeps that are to light to dream but deep enough to have a good nights sleep. The annoying thing was I woke to an alarm clock that made the weirdest buzzing noise I have ever heard. I have to buy a new alarm clock. I dressed in my favourite black jeans and dark purple t-shirt that says "annoy me and die". That was my mood today, I knew it wouldn't help me for my first day of school in a small town but I really couldn't care less. I went downstairs not eating breakfast. I never was one to eat breakfast, I mean who could digest something this early in the morning. I found a note on the table next to a pair of car keys. The note read:
Bells
I bought you a car for your birthday and I forgot to show you it yesterday, hope you like it, here are the keys.
Have fun in school,
Dad.
Cool, I wasn't expecting a car, especially a free one. I had been saving up for a while to buy a car, but it seems I don't need to anymore. I went out side after grabbing my schoolbag and found the truck in the drive way. It was very old, but it didn't look ruined old, it kind of looked like a vintage car. Well, that's how I saw it and I loved it. I got in and started to drive to school when I saw something flash in the woods. I could've sworn that there was some one there watching me, or maybe I was going paranoid. Whatever it was had put me on edge.
