So first of all, I'm sorry, but in this story Bella is replaced with my character, Cherine. But please, read this story still! I could have name my character Bella, it wouldn't made a change in the line of the story, but that just didn't seem right, then everyone would imagine Bella's character instead the one I want to create.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters except for Cherine and her family, and I don't own anything else from the Twilight either.
1st Chapter
My first day here.. I know it's going to be terrible. I didn't even entered the classroom yet, but it's already terrible..
First of all, the weather. The weather of Forks is not for a jamaican girl, for crying outloud! It was freezing cold, I felt like I was thrown into deep snow. ..Or at least I guess I felt like that, I couldn't be sure, since I have never seen snow.
At least no one noticed me yet. Yet. But I was about to enter hell, aka my first class here in Forks, where I was sure everyone will stare at me. For one thing, because they already knew I was coming so they were curious of course, and for another thing because I'm black, and I don't think this freaking town is too often visited by blacks.
I was hearing someone coming, so I took a big breathe and opened the door. Nothing happened. Whoops, it opens outwards.. Then I stepped in, took off my coat (otherwise everybody else was wearing a jacket, but I found that too light for this cold) and as I thought, everybody stared at me. Oh, what a surprise, not everyone! A little, very pale, spiky-haired girl at the end was staring the desk in front of her. I went to the teacher with my head down to get my paper signed. He was nice, he didn't make me introduce myself in front of the class, he send me to an empty desk. I was glad that no one was sitting next to me, I guess I will really like him.
On the next lesson I had to introduce myself, but it wasn't as bad as I dreaded it.. The other lessons went by quickly, I get to know a few people, then lunch came. There was a girl called Jessica, she really seemed nice, she invited me to sit with her. She introduced me to her friends, but of course I forgot all of their names. But even without names it was easy to chat with them, most of the time they were talking about the school and Forks. In the beggining I was paying attention, but then it was too much information and I rather looked around the cantine. My eyes widened as I took in a table - that table where the pixie-like girl from my first class was sitting. Probably her siblings were around that table, because all of them were so pale and had the same dark golden eyes. On the other hand they were very different. For one there was the short pixie, she hold hands with a tall, blond boy (what? probably they are not siblings, they rather look like they are together) next to them there was a supermodell, she was the most beautiful creature I have ever seen, and she was sitting in the lap (another proof against the siblings-theory) of a big, body-builder looking, very, very muscular, curly dark haired man. And they always say to save the best for the last: there was a beautiful, bronze-haired boy. He looked a little younger than his brothers, and he was the smallest boy, but definetly, he was.. I couldn't found words to describe him, he was almost as beautiful as the supermodell. But I have to admit, all of them were beautiful, a lot more beautiful than anyone I have ever known, including me. (Ok, this sound a little self-centered, but I swear I'm not!)
Jessica realized I wasn't paying any attention to them, and she noticed who I'm staring at.
-Earth to Cherine! - I turned unwillingly to look at her. She chuckled. - Those are the Cullens. The little girl is Alice, she's with the tall guy, Jasper. The taller girl is called Rosalie, his boyfriend is Emmett. And those absolutely handsome boy - I looked in his direction, in the same minute he looked at me and Jessica, so I blushed and turned back really quickly - he is Edward.
-But.. Aren't they siblings? How can they be together like this?
-They are, but all of them are adopted by Dr. Cullen and his wife. So I think they can be together.. - I could here how she didn't think it. - Edward's the only one who doesn't date from their family, but he doesn't date anyone, he is so ignorant and.. - she trailed off with anger in her voice.
-Well, I don't know.. - I looked in their direction again, thankfully now Edward wasn't looking here. - They seem to be nice.. But Jessica, tell me more about you!
She gladly did it, she wasn't hard to convince to speak, especially to speak about herself..
My next class was biology. There I had to sit next to Edward Cullen. Can't say this was the best lesson of the day. The whole time he glared at me and he didn't speak a word. I couldn't come to another conclusion, he must be racist, since he didn't even know me at all, he can't be so hostile toward me for any other reason.
At night in my new bed I was thinking about Edward. Don't know why, but for some reason he always crept into my mind. Even though he wasn't the first racist person I have seen in my life and it never bothered me really, but I don't know.. Deep in my soul I couldn't believe it about him, he was somehow different, but I couldn't explain this feeling.
Next morning I was a little early, there were only a few students in the class. Thankfully they didn't want to make conversations with me, they were enough busy.
I was thinking about Jamaica and about how I already missed home when I heard the squek of the chair next to me. I looked up surprised since nobody was supposed to sit next to me, and I found the little girl, Alice Cullen there smiling.
-Hey, I'm Alice Cullen. - She had a nice voice, like a bird, and she spoke fast. - You are Cherine Lave, right?
-Right. - I smiled back timidly.
-Can I sit here? I'm tired of sitting alone.
-Umm.. of course you can..
After a short pause she spoke again.
-I want to apologize for my brother's behavior yesterday, I'm sure you tought he hates you, but that's not the case, he just had a bad day and we pissed him off at lunch. Today he didn't even come to school! - she chuckled lightly.
Ahh, so he's not racist! I don't know why did it make me so happy..
-Never mind, it's already forgotten! - This time I smiled a real smile.
-And do you mind if I ask, how come you moved here from Jamaica?
-Well, I don't really wanna tell the details, but the main point is that life is hard there, and we didn't have any other option just to move out of there. You know, there policemen are very often not the good guys..
-Oh.. And do you like it here?
-To be honest I really hate this cold. But otherwise the people are nice here.
-Except for my brother. - she laughed and I had to join.
-No, believe me I had met worse people before!
The rest of the day went away peacefully. People started to get used to me so they didn't stared so much. At lunch I sat with Jessica again, then on biology I sat alone.
It was really nice to get to know Alice. I felt that she will be a good friend, she seemed honest, unlike Jessica sometimes.. All in all, I started to look into the future positively.
So this was it. If you like it next chapter will come soon, where hopefully Edward will reappear.. Please review, I'm really curious about what you think. Oh, and sorry for the grammar and spelling mistakes, I'm trying to do my best!
