the dream

I sat in the car wondering how I let my mother talk me into this. Her drug addiction was getting worse but I was always the one taking care of her yet here I was in this car with my father, a man I barley knew. I was always told I looked like him I had the same dark curls the same long nose and his piercing blue eyes. I never spent much time with Charlie he left my mom when I was just a baby.

We drove through his dreary town of forks were everything seems to be perfect. Charlie was the head of the only big business in town he was in charge of all the renovations the town needed and also on the police force he was one of the four deputies. we pulled into the drive way of my new home still painted the bright yellow color my mother was so in love with when I was a baby. that's when the tears start to flow I missed her terribly and this house just made it worse. I walked through the front door and my mouth fell open nothing had change every detail was exactly the same from the color of the walls to grandmother swans china against the far wall. I took myself up to the spare room to settle in.

I learned that night that my dad was the best cook in the world one task that would be taken of my hands. my mother couldn't cook to save her life it was horrible some of the things she forced on me when I was a child the day I turned thirteen I decided I would take over the cooking for my mother and little sister roselind

I wanted her to come with me but we didn't have the same father and I had to let her go. she moved in with her dad a man I never like three month before I decided to force my mother into rehab and move in with Charlie. when I snapped out of my thoughts It was time for bed but of course with the wind blowing my fears about a new school and the eyes I knew would be on me tomorrow as I walked the halls of a school I have never seen with people I did not know I didn't sleep I sat in my bed having a full blown panic attack.

I hadn't said a word all day and didn't know if I could. so the next morning when charlie woke me for breakfast I was shocked

"bella sweaty its time to wake up…bella…bella wake up if you want breakfast you need to wake up school starts in half an hour… sweaty come on wake up.."

"dad come on I just fell asleep"

"why the hell oh never mind you teenagers get weirder by the day wake up"

he was actually nice I never expected him to play the father role so well I was surprised that he had that father instinct after twelve years. I drug myself out of bed got dressed combed through my hair and went to join him for breakfast. the smell coming up the stairs was amazing. pancakes bacon eggs hash browns orange juice my mouth started watering and I couldn't resist I sat down and started eating as fast as possible.

Charlie threw me a smile that made him look thirty years younger he was nearing half a century and he didn't like to be reminded of it.

"that good" he assumed

"dad where did you learn to cook like this I haven't tasted food this good in forever you know mom cant cook and oh my god…" I was trying not to blabble but it wasn't working so I shoved another bite of pancake in my mouth I could taste something different was it cinnamon or vinalla I couldn't quite put a name to the taste.

I looked up at the clock "holy crow dad I got to go" I almost screamed "im gonna be late" I threw my back pack across my shoulder and headed out the door I missed the bus and had to run to catch it at the next stop. by the time I got to a empty seat I was out of breath and ready to die from embarrassment. the only seat open was next to a boy named Edward there was something different about him I couldn't put my finger on it the way his green eyes held mine for a second longer then everyone elses he was beautiful handsome wasn't a good enough description he was perfect and it scared me. sitting there next to this angel i couldn't explain the feeling I was having he hadn't even said a word to me but some how I felt a pull towards him like some kind of magical attraction that I had never felt before.

"hello" he said in almost a whisper

"um…hello…" I was trying to hide the surprise in my voice

I could feel more then one set of eyes on me and that of course made me blush and then there weirdest thing happened he looked up at me with the most amazing smile on his face and reached up to run his fingers across my cheek

"look at that…how lovely"

I couldn't find my voice but I could feel my cheeks grow hot again. I tried not to look at him but of course I lost my will and turned my head he disappeared. I woke up to the alarm clock radio.

chpt 2

Charlie had already left for work so here I was alone trying to figure out what it meant what this crazy dream about I boy ive never seen was supossed to me. I couldn't eat the bowl of cereal I pour my self so I threw it in the sink grabded my bag and head out the door. Charlie was at the station today so he took the cruiser. I found the extra set of keys to the pick up and drove myself to school. I got lost a couple times before I pulled into the right parking lot got out of the truck and headed to the front office. I walked through the door and was taken back by how warm and happy the office looked compared to every other part of this drizzeling town I now call home.

"hello sweat heart can I help you"

"yeah um im bella swan"

"oh well it's a pleasure to finally meet you…you've been a subject on every bodys mind for the last couple weeks"

that set off another panick attack couldn't I just be home schooled or something. I got the papers I needed and walked to my first class.

there he was just like in my dream with the same mystical green eyes. he was sitting in the back row. I walked up to the teacher and handed him my transfer papers.

"Hello Isabella…"

"I go by bella"

"well bella here's your seat"

I was put in the far right corner on the opposite side of the class room from the boy I had seen only once and it wasn't even in real life but in a dream one I couldnt explain. I sat there on the opposite side of the room staring at the strange boy wondering what it was about him that I was so drawn to. He didn't even look at me he stayed in his corner and did his work with out saying a word to anyone. I wa seated next to a boy names Jacob who was really cute he had pitch black hair and the most beautiful blue eyes

"hi im Jacob black your bella swan right…your a lot prettier then I thought you would be no offence I just am so use to the girls around here your like a breath of fresh air….sorry im blabbing again" he turned his head away from me and I tried to see why but he hid his face to well

"hey well its nice to meet you Jacob…umm thanks for the compliment I guess" I mumbled I knew my cheeks were bright red I wasn't one that liked the spot light that's for sure. we didn't say anything for the rest of the period but every time I looked up he was staring at me and he wasn't trying to hide it

the bell rang and as I was getting out of my chair I trip over his back pack typical bella move im always falling over something. before I could hit the ground Jacob caught me in his arms and winked at me maybe in this crazy rainy town people thought it was cute when others fell over. I looked up straightened my self out grabed my bag and that when I noticed his eyes on me from across the room he wore a smile on his face that was breath taking I just stood there like and idiot staring at him I could feel the heat on my cheeks and neck. I was blushing a lot today well I should say a lot more then normal.

"bella hey bella you in there hello" Jacob was trying to call me out of my trance

"hey sorry what were you saying.." I managed to mumble

"you want to eat lunch with me and a couple friends" he asked

"umm…sure why not I don't know anybody else"

we walked to the cafeteria and I was actually laughing and flirting what the hell was wrong with me I didn't normal pay attention to guys but there was something about the way jake smiled at me that made my heart skip a beat. I grabbed a coke and an apple and followed jake to his lunch table. I felt someones eyes on me and that always made me nervous I turned around to scan the lunch room and that's when I spotted Edward off in a corner eating lunch by himself staring at me

"that kids so weird" I heard jake whisper almost to himself

" why do you say that doesn't look like he's hurting anyone to me"

I couldn't understand why I got defensive about a guy I never even spoke to but then again I didn't understand a lot of things that were going on today.

the lunch bell rang before jake could respond. I went through the rest of the day with out seeing the Edward again. jake on the other hand had four classes with me. after the last bell rang he walked me out to the truck and helped me in

"well I'll see you later bella have a good rest of the day" he said turning around to leave

"alright jake see you later…hey how are you getting home" I said before I even realize I said it. he turned around with a classic smile on his face and said I walk.i made a promise to myself not to let jake walk to school or back the whole time I was here.

"hey get in I'll give you a ride…if you want I can pick you up to there no reason someone should have to walk in the rain"

"thanks bella…I knew I liked you for a reason" he said

"no problem" I shrugged it off trying to play cool
