Edward had lent me his Volvo to take my old truck to some place that takes old cars in Port Angeles. The windows were down, and the breeze was in face. It was warm for Forks. My new body made the weather always seem warmer.
The town was safely asleep in their beds. Spring break for the college students began a few days ago. It was particularly early for spring break. It was early March. Almost two years since I'd been in Forks. I'd been smart to steer clear of the fishing areas. Only insane people could get up at 5:30 am.
The man at the car sales place was not hard to bargain with. He made a deal with my truck in a heart beat. Although he wasn't so willing until he took a look at me. Things were getting a whole lot easier with being a vampire, in some cases.
I drove Edward's Volvo home, with the red truck hooked on the back. Edward would be thrilled to hear that I had made my first car deal. I rolled down the windows again. It was 10:30, a little later then I wanted it to be. The people of forks would be up and about. So I took the back roads.
I heard Voices. I quickly rolled up my window and kept on driving. I kept hearing the faded voices. Yet they got closer and closer. "Is that Bella Swan's truck?" I heard a familiar voice gasp. "Yeah! And that pulling it is Edward Cullen's Volvo!" Another familiar male voice stated. I panicked. They were far enough away that they couldn't see me. But I knew the voices. They were familiar in my mind. A memory rook over my brain.
"Bella had to leave at the end she was so freaked" Jessica inserted with a sly smile. I nodded trying to look embarrassed. "It was pretty scary". Mike didn't stop asking me questions till lunch was over. Gradually, the others were able to start up their own conversations again, though they still looked at me a lot. Angela talked mostly to mike and me, and , when I got up to dump my tray, Jessica followed.
Jessica, and Mike! If I had a heart it would have stopped. I stepped on the gas with real force, which was a very bad idea. I slammed on the breaks with no problem at all and came to a dead end. The voices came even closer, and the foot steps seemed to be a jog. I had no time to turn around. I had to run. "Mike! Wait up!" Jessica called from behind. I got out of the car having no time to look back.
I climbed the wall fast and as I turned to land on my feet, Mike Newton's eyes met mine.
