"Well,goodbye Conway,Hello
Forks," I said is i got in the car. My parents had decided
to move in the middle of my junior year. Great i to myself just what
i need to move to the rainiest place in the Continental
U.S,Forks,Washington. Me and the cold don't go well together. I
remember when i was little my brother Daniel and I would spend summer
in Forks every summer with my aunt and uncle. I made a friend who
lived in La Push his name was Anoop he was part of some tribe. I was
in deep thought when i heard my mom say something to me.
"Come
on Kristopher,Forks won't be that bad you used to love it when you
were a kid." Yea cause i was a kid and didn't really have a
life is what i wanted to say but i didn't "Yea,but it was
different mom i was a kid." My mom wanted the best for us
but she said Forks would be better for the whole family, since in two
years i would be going to college. "Who knows Kristopher you
might meet a night girl in forks," Said my dad. My dad
wanted me to meet a nice girl,go to college,get married and have
kids. But the one thing my parents don't know is that girls aren't my
interest,guys are but i could never tell them that because my parents
are by-the-book christens. My dad went on and on and on about how i
need to meet a nice,sweet,and kind girl,go to college,get married and
have kids. I couldn't take one more moment of it so i took out my
iPod and played Dusk
and Summer by Dashboard Confessional.
----------------------------------------------------------------
It took two days to get
from Conway to Forks,and they where the two worst days of my life. As
we where getting to the new house my mom said" We have a
surprise for you,Kristopher.'" I was confused and said
"What is it?" When we pulled up i saw a rusty brown
colored truck it was nice,not my kind of car but it will do "Thanks
guys! But where'd you get it from?" "Well remember
Anoop Desai from La Push you two were like best friends when
you were little."Anoop was the only friend i had when i was
little."Yea I remember him,he's only like my best friend."
"Yea,well his dad Jim,got in an accident and can't drive
anymore,so i bought his truck from him."Just as my dad said
that Anoop pulled up in a SUV with his dad. I was so happy to see my
only friend."KRISSY!!" "ANOOP,are you still gonna
call me Krissy?" "Heck yea! I've been calling you that
scene we where six?" I laughed and thought same old
Anoop."Man Anoop you got tall! How tall are you?" "6'2
and I still your short. What did you grow like 3 inches?"
"Ha ha very funny Anoop. Now come lets test this baby."As
I opened the drivers door i hit Anoop on the leg"Sorry."
"Its okay dude."Anoop walked to the other side with a
limp."So you wanna drive to school with me?" I would
but i go to school in La Push." "Oh." Great the
one friend i have doesn't even go to the same school as me. What
bothered me the most was the fact that i was starting in the middle
of the year. My old school in Conway has bout 2000 kids,this school
Forks High has 660 now 661.
---------------------------
"Daniel hurry up or I'm going to leave without you!" My brother takes forever longer then any girl I know."I'm coming,I'm coming" He grabbed his backpack,kissed mom goodbye and said"Race Ya!"I shook my head in agreement,but halfway there i slipped and fell on the ice."Ow,my back." Kristopher are you okay?my mom said when came out after she heard me fall."Yea,I'm fine mom,we gotta get to school or we're gonna be late." "Okay but when you come home your putting the heating pad on you Bake,okay?" I shook my head yes. When we got to school I saw that i wasn't the only one with crappy old cars just about every one else has a car worst then mine,but then i saw a Shiny Volvo that didn't look more then three years old. At that moment the owner was coming out and that was the first time i laid my eyes on him. His skin was pale white,his eyes where a honeyish color,with jet black hair,and he was extremely cute."KRISS! pay attention to the road,and stop drooling over that boy." "Huh? wha?"My Brother rolled his eyes and said"You hopeless when it comes to guys you drool over them and don't bother talking to them,to see if they like you back,"Yea i but I could never have a boyfriend,mom and dad would freak out." Daniel shook his head in agreement,and i started thinking my family shakes their heads in a agreement a lot. As i got out of my truck,he was staring at me well some girl with firery red hair was talking to him. I heard her get mad walked away as i walked to the front office he kept looking at me and it creped me out. I got to the door of the office and he was still looking at me and i felt a shiver go down my back. I hurried up and opened the door."Name Please."Said the lady at the front office."Huh? Oh yea Kristopher and Daniel Allen." "Ah yes Neil's boys theres been much talk about you to since we all found out you where coming,"The lady looked through a bunch of papers and finally found"Here we got Kristopher and Dannel here you go have all you teachers sign this and bring it back after school." We walked out and he was still there and next thing i no Daniel is gone and some girl walked up to me and said"You must be Kristopher Allen,I'm Alexis Grace newspaper and yearbook editor,and you would make a great front cover story." "Its Kris and you cant put me on the front page,no one wants to here about me"She laughed"I was only kidding. So what's your first hour?" "Ummm"I looked down at my paper "Algebra 2 with Mr. Manston,What do you have?" "I have English with Mrs. Rinner,but my friend Danny and Lil have Algerbra 2 for first hour,come with me."
-------------------
The
rest of the say was a blur. I had a lot of my classes with Danny and
some other kid but i don't remember. I saw my brother while switching
classes. Then came lunch,I sat with Alexis,Danny,Lil,and there
friends. The kid who's named i didn't remember was talking to me,but
i wasn't paying attention,I was looking over at the door when i say
him again"Wh..Who are they?" Alexis looked
over in the way i was looking. "Oh their Dr. and Mrs.
Cullen"s Grandkids,The red headed girl is Allison Cullen,The
curly brown haired boy is Neil Hale.The girl with the
super long blond hair is Megan Hale,and the guy with the hat is Matt
Cullen,And Thats."Just as she said that he
walked in it was the mystery guy that was looking at me earlier."Adam
Cullen,super gorgeous,but won't date any girl in the school."
"Why?" I asked Alexis."He's gay,but
don't get your hopes up apparently none of the guys in the school are
good enough for him." "Oh,well it doesn't matter to
me."After lunch i had biology with Mr. Mason."Ah
you must be Kristopher Allen,the new kid" "Kris,"
I said as i handed him the paper then i saw him again he was alone
looking right at me with a weird look on his face."Come
tight here Mr. Allen you can have a seat next to Mr. Cullen,and
I'll get you a book." Adam looked away from me as i sat
down his hand made a fist no the end of the table,and his other hand
over his nose i just looked down at my book tell the end of the
period and he ran out as soon as the bell rung."Did you like
stab Cullen with a pencil or something?" Alexis said as I
got up."No. So,I'm guessing he doesn't act that normally?"
No,but you seem to like him,Kris do you like Adam Cullen?"
Oh Crap I thought.'Nnnno,w--what gave you that idea?" "Oh
nothing,so if you don't like Cullen you want to go to the dance?.I
mean i no its two months away but what do you say?" "Um..dancing
really isn't my thing,maybe you should ask Danny he seems to
really like you."You think so." I shook my head."I
think I'm gonna ask him now,bye" Bye"I walked to my last
class witch was P.E great I thought to myself. After P.E Alexis
walked up to me."Guess what." "You asked Danny out and he
said yes." "Yea." 'Well I'm happy for you,now I'm gonna go home
my back is killing me." "Okay,see you tomorrow." "Bye."
I got to my truck and i say my brother"Where the hell have
you been Kris" "I took the long way out." He rolled
his eyes on at me."Kris what are you looking at." Wha?
Oh yea sorry." Daniel looked over in my way."Oh
your looking at Adam Cullen,hey bro you should go over and talk to
him. "No way. He doesn't look that friendly "KRIS! You
hopeless your never gonna no if he likes you if you just stare at him
and don't talk to him." Like it matters Alexis told me he doesn't
think any of the guys in the school are are good enough for him."
He just shrugged."Come on lets get home."
"MOM,DAD WE'RE HOME." "In here guys." I heard moms voice in the kitchen "Kristopher does your back still hurt." "Yea I'm gonna get the heating pad and go to bed." "Aren't you gonna eat?" "No mom I'm really hungry. I'm just gonna go to bed."I changed and ready for bed. That night i had a dream about Adam,and when i opened my eyes I thought I saw Adam in my room. I turned on my lamp and there was nothing there."Your losing it Kris." The next day Adam wasn't there and he wasn't there the rest of the week. Part of me wanted to confront him ask him what his problem was. The next week he was back and for the first time he talked to me."Hello."His voice was song like. "Hey."I said man he's so cute i thought. Get a hold of yourself Kris."I didn't get a chance to introduce myself last week,I'm Adam Cullen,and your Kris Allen right?" "Yeah,but aren't you gonna call me Kristopher?" He looked confused."Do you want me to call you Kristopher?" "No Kris is fine its just that everyone else seems to call me Kristopher." His hand was at the end of the table,but it wasn't in a fist."Okay Class we're going to learn about prophase and anaphase with onion root." Mr. Mason handed out the project."Do you want to go first or should I?" He was looking at me "I'll go first."I looked in the telescope "Anaphase." "Do you mind if I look?" "Sure." I handed him the telescope "Anaphase. "Hey hand me the next slide,"I handed it to him and he said."Prophase. Do you wanna take a look?" Hhmm?Oh no i believe you."After we did all five slide Mr Mason came over and said"Mr. Cullen did you let Mr. Allen even look at any of them" "Yes I did Mr. Mason,Kris here identified 3 of the 5." "Really?" "Yea I did the project before,but not with onion root." "Whitefish blastule? "Yeah." Mr. Mason nodded"Were you in an advanced placement program in Conway?" Yes." "Well i guess its a good thing you and Mr. Cullen are lab partners." After Mr. Mason left Adam started talking."So your from Conway,isn't that like in Alabama or something?" I laughed."Conway is in Arkansas." "Oh. To bad about the snow huh?" "No not really." "What you don't like snow?" I nodded"Or the cold." "Well you moved to the wrong place?" "Yeah but my dad wanted to move back here. "So have you been here before?""Yea i have,when i was little my brother and I would come and spend every summer with my grandparents,but then my grandpa died and my grandma moved it Little Rock to live with my aunt and uncle." So does it snow in Conway?" "Yeah." "Then how come you don't like the snow or the cold." "Me and cold weather have never gotten along." "How like?" "Well last Tuesday, I fell on my back in my drive way. Hey did you get contacts?" "No why?" "Your eyes I looked black last i saw you." " That's crazy,I think the snows getting to you Arkansas." Yeah maybe it was but there was something about Adam that made his so dark and mysterious,a secret of some kind and i was determined to find out what that just was.
