The rain was coming down hard and fast. Bella Swan opened her eyes and looked outside. It was wet and green. Just like always. Bella got up and got ready for the day, the routine was the same as always. When she got downstairs she grabbed her keys and ran into the rain. Her Mazda was parked in the driveway and Bella quickly got in it. She started the car and sped down the street. First day of high school
in Forks for Liz Mullen. That was her new ID. She was a student at Forks high from the New York. Her parents sent her there to live with her aunt. New ID, new story, new beginning; yet it all felt old. Bella was almost fifty years old, her body showed her to be only eighteen. She was a vampire, an immortal creature of the shadows. Liz was supposed to be a new student, human, normal.
Bella tried to block out all the memories that were flooding her mind. She did not want to remember the last time she was a student here. The only reason that she was back was that Charlie was dying and she wanted to be near him when he passes away. He had only a couple of months left. Bella wanted to be near him even as a stranger who volunteered to be his nurse. Her appearance was different. She had black, shoulder length hair. Her eyes were light honey colored thanks to what she was. All in all she looked like to model, rather than the skinny seventeen year old that she has once been.
Bella pulled into the parking lot and got out of the car. The rain stopped, but the clouds were heavy. She went to the office, following the same routine as she did the first time. She got her schedule, and went to her first class. The school was a bit bigger in student population than the last time. Many kids turned their heads toward her as Bella walked to her Civics class. "Here we go again," she thought. When she got to her class, it was already nearly full, her seating options were slim. She walked to the teacher and handed her slip.
"Welcome, Liz Mullen ," the teacher said in a nasal voice. She nodded and took the slip back from him. Bella quickly went to a seat near the back.
The class was boring, Mr. Coles, the teacher talked about how to get a law passed. It was a long hour. When the bell rang, Bella went to her second, then third class- Algebra II then Chemistry. Those classes proved to be a bit more interesting than the first. The kids in the classes were all whispering about her. She heard them. Though only two actually approached, the first was the student president, Jenny Sims. The second was a jock who tried to him on her. He was turned down quickly, but gently.
All in all her day was rather pleasant. She gained courage to make this work. After school she resolved to go to the hospital and sign up as a volunteer to help make house calls. That way she'd be able to help Charlie. That was her only goal here in Forks.
