Bella's POV

"Bella, you ready to go?" That's my best friend Angela. She drives me to school everyday since my dad, Charlie, hasn't bought me a car yet. My name is Bella Swan. I use to live with my mother in Phoenix, AZ, until she found a new husband and he abused me. I've never told anyone about that. EVER. Phil (my mother's new husband) informed me that if I ever told anyone about the abuses that he would take it out on my mom, and I've been taking care of my mother since I could walk and talk. So she really was the one way to get to me.

Let me tell you some more about my life, Charlie has continuously begged for my mother to let me come and stay with him, we has almost settled into a routine: Charlie would beg, mom would tell me, I said no, Charlie begged. Yet, as soon as Phil showed me his true colors, I was the one that asked if I could stay with Charlie in his little hometown of Forks. Yes, Forks, basically that smallest city that I have EVER seen.

FLASHBACK-------------------

God that airplane was hot, now where's Charlie? I looked around to find him. I headed over to baggage claim and saw the squad car with its lights on. Oh jeeze! What happened now? Charlie comes running in looking a tad bit scatter brained.

"BELLS! Oh I missed you. Here let me grab your bags, do you have anything else? Or is this it?"

"Umm.. dad, this is it. Can I ask why your lights are on?"

"Just one of the great pros of being the chief of police here in Forks. If I'm ever in a hurry, people just get out of my way with a flip of the switch!" I could have sworn that I had seen him puff out his chest a little further.

"Is that not abusing your powers?"

"Yes well . . . I got here on time now didn't I!"

"Yes dad. Can we go home? The plane ride was really hot and long." In reality I just wanted to crawl into my bed and have a good sleep without having to worry about getting raped in the middle of the night.

"Sure Bells."

END OF FLASHBACK-------------------

"Bella?"

"Oh! Sorry, you know me, dazing out into space. Yeah, I'm almost ready to go, give me five more minutes?"

"Sure, just hurry up! We're running late."

"Yeah, okay, I will." I changed from my pj's into my new Armani skinny jean and a random concert t-shirt from my drawers. [One of the better sides of Renee's and Charlie's relationship: Their usual date was a concert! So after all of their years together and a collection of their t-shirts, I now have my full wardrobe]. I raced down the stairs and attempted to jump the last two. Bad idea, I tripped and landed on my face.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, that wasn't as bad as it could have been."

"Well lets get going, I don't want to be late to English."

"Yeah Biology could nevvvvver wait." Biology was quite possibly the easiest class that I have ever had to take. I was in the advanced Bio class at my old high school in Phoenix. So everything here was pretty much a review for me.

We started on our way to the school and had reached the parking lot with 6 minutes to get to class.

"Why does everyone have to park so stupidly?!?!? They take up two spots everytime!" Angela did not really like to find parking spots.

"OI! Right there!" I found a spot and did the big arm movements to the spot to point it out to Angela.

"Good eyes Bell!" We high fived, because we are just that sweet.

Just before Angela got the chance to pull into the spot, a silver jeep cut us off. The Cullens. Ah! Those people are just so—nevermind I have to get to class.

"Fucking Cullens!" Apparently Angela was as frustrated as I was.

We found another spot and I hurried to make it to my Biology class. Angela and I ran our different directions and attempted to stay dry during our mad dash to first class. I walked through the door and hung up my coat just as the teacher Mr. Smith started to talk.

"Bella, do you think that you could take a seat?" I mumbled a yes in reply and looked up to see where the open spots were. You see, Mr. Smith doesn't have assigned seats, you sit wherever you want everyday. My normal spot next to Mike was taken as I sent a scowl his way. The only spot that was open was next to Emmett Cullen.
