Preface
Although I've lost everything that ever mattered to me in the past, like my amazing life with my mother/best friend in Phoenix, right at this moment none of that matter, for the first time in since I've came to Forks I finally felt like a winner, like I put my all out there and now I'm finally getting appreciated. I had won the heart of someone who I know I loved from the first time I set my eyes on him.
Chapter 1 – All New
As I looked at my new surroundings that will be the rest of my life, I began to reminisce about what brought me here. Isabella Swan, head cheerleader back in Phoenix at Brookhaven High School, I was the top of the food chain and everybody envied me. I grew up on my mom's kindergarten salary, so I consider my self an average girl, but my looks and flexibility is what got me to the top. I loved my life, I was always so happy and I appreciated every part of my life. The tragic story which was my mother's death made my happiness plummet to misery all in 1 day. It was a rainy day, and we rarely have rain in Phoenix, I had a new job and I decided to treat my mother to a well deserved spa day. It started off as another fun day out with my favorite person in the world, but as we were driving home from the spa we got into a car accident. Long story short another car drove right into my mom's side and she died at the scene. I however managed to walk away from the experience with cuts and bruises; yeah I know life's not fair. Now I'm on my way to Forks, some unknown small town in Washington where my dad Charlie is the chief of police. My mom and Charlie got married right out of high school and came here, eventually my mom got tired of this boring life and moved to Phoenix. I use to visit Charlie for two weeks every summer, until I turned 14 and made a choice to never go back; you know what they say, never say never.
As I got off the plane and gathered my belongings; a backpack and a suitcase, I walked slowly to the waiting room, he was there waiting for me. Ugh, before me was Charlie Swan, my biological father, I had no problem with Charlie, he's just the complete opposite of me and my mom, BORING.
"Hey Bells" he chimed and embraced me, I used my free hand to pat his back yet I felt so awkward, he stepped back to look at me.
"Boy, do you look good, you've grown a lot".
"Yeah" I smiled shyly, "Thanks a lot Charlie'.
He looked kind of hurt that I called him that, then I remembered that my mother use to tell me to call Charlie dad when I visit him. Oops what a start. The ride home was quiet and uncomfortable, Charlie tried to make conversation, and I really wasn't in the mood for that though. It's a one hour drive from Port Angles to Forks, and since Charlie is the Chief of Police he was driving the speed limit, so you could imagine how long it took. As we were passing the 'Welcome to Forks Sign' he sparked up a conversation that was actually worth listening to.
"Err, Bella" I looked up sleepily as he continued
"I bought you a car this week, I got it for a good price from Dr. Cullen, I know how you like flashy cars and stuff and his family is very wealthy so I think you'll really like it".
I was so surprised; I had money saved up and everything to buy a car,
"Oh, Charlie you shouldn't have, I would have bought it myself"
"Oh stop it Bella, it's a welcome home present"
"Thank you so much Dad, I love you".
I could tell he was pleased with himself, and quite frankly I thought he earned the title Dad.
We turned on the street and my heart was racing, as we came into view of the small house, I quickly realized a gorgeous BMW, I didn't really know what year it was but honestly did it matter? It was black and shiny, I loved it automatically. I turned to Charlie with my mouth wide open and tears streaming down my eyes. I bet my mascara is running, dang.
"Dad, I can't believe it, thank you so much" I hugged him tightly so he would know that I was so grateful.
"Bella, Bella enough, your welcome, now let me show you around the house it's getting late and you have school tomorrow".
Uh, why did he have to remind me, I pulled away and walked into the house,
"I already know my way around, Goodnight"
I didn't sleep well that night, not even after I stopped crying, geez I've been crying so much lately.
I woke up to a thick fog that covered my window, uh why did Forks have to be so wet and cold. Yuck. I went to my suitcase and pulled out dark skinny jeans, a fitted white shirt and a tight fit leather jacket, Ha today I was going to make a statement. I brushed my teeth and combed out the knots in my hair. I walked down the stairs with a pair of stiletto leather boots in my hand. Charlie eyes widened and he choked on his bagel.
"Bella why are you dressed like that" he swallowed hard and stared.
"What, oh please tell me you didn't expect me to dress like a hillbilly" I rolled my eyes.
"Watch your attitude young lady!" he got up, chugged his coffee, and stormed out the door.
HA. Talk about a panic attack. I grabbed my bag, got my key off the hook and left.
It was drizzling still as I walked to the care, not enough to soak me completely though. I marveled at my new car for like a minute before jumping in and starting it up. I sped down the street to turn onto the main road, although it looked just like a regular old street.
Finding the school wasn't difficult, though I'd never been there before. The big sign that declared Forks High School is what made me stop. This was the school; my old school was like twice this size. I parked in front the small building that read FRONT OFFICE. No one else was parked there, so I was sure it was off limits, but then again who cares, my dad is the Chief of police I could probably get away with anything. I stepped unwillingly out of my toasty warm car and walked to the front office, I paused for a second before opening the door and going in. It was brightly lit inside but man was it small. There was a counter with three desks behind it, I walked up to the counter and seen a large, red-haired woman wearing glasses, she wore a purple top that looked like it was from Salvation Army.
The red-haired woman looked up. "Can I help you?"
"I'm Isabella Swan" I informed her, and saw the immediate awareness light her eyes. I was expected, a topic of gossip no doubt. Daughter of the Chief's late ex-wife come home at last.
"Of course" she said. She dug through a pile of papers on a table near by till she found the one she was looking for. "I have a schedule right here, and a map of the school." She brought several sheets to the counter to show me. She went thought my schedule with me highlighting the room numbers, which I was to bring back at the end of the day. She smiled a big smile to me, a smiled back as convincingly as I could. I walked back to my car happy to see that many of the other students were starting to arrive. I drove to the general parking, I spotted a shiny silver Volvo with about 5 students leaning on it. They look to me like they were the popular people here at Forks High. All of them were inhumanly beautiful, and perfect I probably wouldn't fit in, but I was going to try. I pulled into the parking spot beside them, took several deep breaths and got out. I turned around and was surprised to see a short girl with spiky hair; she was one of the students that were leaning on the car.
"Oh, gosh you scared me there". I placed my hand on my heart, exaggerating a little.
"I'm sorry, I'm Alice Cullen, and you must be Isabella Swan?" she smiled warmly.
"Yeah call me Bella though, nice to meet you" I smiled back, trying not t look to happy.
"Come meet my family." She turned around and walked to the rear of the silver Volvo, I followed closely. "This is Emmett and Edward Cullen" she said gesturing to a tall muscular guy with short curly black hair and then to a bronze-haired boy who looked young. "And this is Rosalie and Jasper Hale" she said again gesturing to a beautiful blonde girl, and a tall skinny blonde guy.
"Hey, I'm Bella." I said nervously, with my best smile.
"We know who you are, you Charlie's kid" said the big one, Emmett
I shrugged. "Yeah that's about right; I'm not really a kid though"
The one named Jasper waved, with a timid smile than said. "Emmett lets go, class time"
"Later guys" Emmett called, waved to me and they both disappeared.
"Love your boots" The pretty blonde named Rosalie said.
"Thanks" I smiled at her, maybe we'll be good friends I thought.
"Yeah, I had the same pair last year" she smirked, rolled her eyes then strode off. "C'mon Alice" she called over her shoulder. Maybe Not.
"Yeah, I'm right behind you, bye Bella". She pecked me on the cheek and ran after the blonde.
I sighed and crossed my hands, I turned to face Edward, the bronze-haired one and he smiled.
I couldn't breathe for a second, he was so beautiful. He should be a male model.
"Looks like you're stuck with me" he said teasingly.
My heart skipped a beat. I giggled. I felt like an airhead. "Yeah, looks like it" I said breathlessly.
He took 2 steps and now he was right in my face, I gasped. He ran his hand through his hair.
"So, let me see your schedule". I handed it to him absentmindedly as I stared at him. "Looks like we have 1st and 5th period together, Lets get going" he put a hand on my lower back and guided me forward, as we walked I couldn't help but look at him, he caught me looking and smiled crooked smile. I gasped and turned my head aware that I was blushing.
"Here we are Mr. Jefferson's Class" he said stopping in front of another small building, he turned to me. "Are you ready Bella?"
"Y-y-yes" he smiled and opened the door, holding it for me.
