The sun had barely risen when I woke up. I looked around me wondering where I was, and then it hit me, I was in Forks. I hated this place, no worse, I detested it. My mother had escaped with me from here, when I was very young, and I only came back in the summers to visit Charlie, my dad. But by the time I was 14 I had thrown enough tantrums to end my trips to Forks. Somehow I had managed to stumble back into its grey clutches.

Since I had nothing else to do I got dressed and ready for the new day. I still had another two hours before school began. School, how would I get through the day? I knew nobody here and nobody knew me. Sudden footsteps disturbed my chain of thought. Charlie, he was an early riser. I decided to surprise him with breakfast; he wasn't very good at cooking.

I whipped up a quick breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast, with a glass of orange juice for Charlie. I wasn't in the mood for eating. Charlie grinned when he saw me up so early.

"Thanks Bells," he said after taking a mouthful of the scrambled eggs.

"No problem," I replied. After thinking for a while I finally asked, "Dad do you mind dropping me to school today? I don't really have a ride yet."

"I don't think that's necessary," Charlie said mysteriously. "Wait till I finish my breakfast and then I have a present for you." He wolfed down the remains of his breakfast and drank the juice. "Come with me Bells." Charlie picked up his keys and a small blue box on the way out the door. I wondered what was in the blue box. My present? Maybe, I would just have to wait and see.

Charlie's impatient voice told me to hurry up, and so I did. I grabbed my bag on the way out. There on the driveway was a beautiful red Chevy Truck. Oh how I wished it was mine.

"All yours Bella," grinned Charlie, as if he had read my mind. I began to soar.

"Thanks so much Dad!" I practically screamed as I flung my arms around him. He just stood there and smiled. Then he handed over the keys to the truck and wished me luck for my first day. Maybe today wouldn't be as bad as it seemed.
