Chapter One
Saturday 9:50 am (Renee's House)
"Bella! Have you seen my iPod? I've just put it in my bedside table earlier?" My twin sister Isabelle or Izzy asked me while we were both preparing our stuff. We were moving to the wettest place in the country. Forks, Washington. Our Mom Renee isn't pleased with our decision though; she respected it especially now that she was expecting a child with her second husband Phil. Since our parents divorced, Mom took fully our custody and Dad didn't argue any longer. Because he knows that he was too young and naïve to take care for a two year old kids even though he was poignant with the court decision, he trusted Renee. Now, that Renee has her own family my sister and I made a decision to spend our last two years in high school with our Dad since we only came to visit him during summers and holidays. Charlie apparently was very ecstatic with our choice.
I shook my head deliberately at her. "Nope I haven't seen your iPod. Maybe you've put it somewhere else."
Izzy and I were identical twins. Were both have a shade of chocolate brown eyes, heart shape face, long thin nose, pointed cheek and reddish brown hair. But mine was curly while hers was long straight and shiny. We had an identical body too and indistinguishable height of five feet and four inches. So a lot of people find it hard to recognize which is which. Luckily for them Izzy has a birth mark placed on her back. Even if were so identical physically we are both have a distinct personality. I'm an introverted type while she was the opposite. Izzy has a strong self-confidence. She's not afraid to speak in front of hundreds of people. She's not afraid to show her guts. She's definitely the crowd's favorite. She was the head cheerleader of our previous school. She's 'the school's campus queen'. But above all she is the best sister ever. I hardly remember the times we fought over something. We're best friends simply inseparable, though she has her own set of friends she never forgets to share her life happenings to her one and only sister.
"Ugh, I don't want to demolish again these stuffs." She pointed the clean piles of boxes and traveling bags. "Can I'd just use yours for a while, please Bella I can't live without music." She pouts.
I rolled my eyes. "Of course you can't." Yeah aside from being a great dancer did I said that she's also an excellent musician? We are totally opposite because I don't have any talent to brag off. I'm just a lazy bookworm spending time reading century-classic books.
"Girls are you all set? Phil already in the garage, c'mon guys give this old woman a hug before I brake down in tears." Renee requested wrapping her arms around us. I fought back my tears because certainly I will miss my erratic and harebrained mother.
"Hush Mom we will often visit you here. We don't want to miss our baby brother." Izzy patted Renee's back which I'm sure fighting back her own tears. We were just both close to her.
It takes four hours in plane from Florida to Seattle and another one hour to Port Angeles and one hour drive to Forks. It was raining when we reach Charlie's threshold and I hate to admit it but I did miss my Dad.
"Oh look at you guys, you've grown too fast." He gave us a tight warmth fatherly hug. "I can't believe it! the last time I saw you guys, you height like this." He gestured a small child by putting his hand by his waist.
Izzy and I both rolled our eyes. Charlie just chuckled.
"Dad, maybe that was 10 years ago." Izzy snapped while we were all climbing up stairs.
"AhH!! I missed my bed. It smells fresh Dad you'd done a good job!" Izzy shrieked while bouncing up and down in her freshly-laundry bed sheets. Charlie and I exchange odd looks and both shrugged.
I spun around and walked towards my own bed room. It looks the same when I left it like two years ago; good thing there's no single of dust maybe Charlie was really delighted of our decision that he actually performed a general cleaning.
I sighed, as mush as I loved being with my Dad I will definitely miss the Sunshine State.
After arranging our things, we had dinner. I volunteered to be a cook because honestly the two of them was never a fan of a kitchen. Charlie already enrolled us at Forks High School and I was having an impression that Izzy and I without doubt will catch the entire student body's attention not in a positive way but mostly become the 'gossip of the year' or the 'talk of the town'. That's why I hate moving from one place to another which we basically did.
"Dad you can rest now, go watch t.v. Izzy and I will take care of this mess." I said while putting the plates at the sink. Izzy was scratching the frying pan.
"Do you think that we can make it tomorrow?" I whispered to her, when Charlie settled at the living room.
Izzy's eyebrows furrow in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"I mean…"
She frowned at me. "Bells, everything will be alright. Trust me. Tomorrow will just be another day and eventually it will just past. I told you, don't you ever think of about what other people will say. Our life doesn't depend on them." Yeah she's right, always been the optimistic.
I sighed. "It just..I don't know..I feel something different."
She cupped my face pulling me to look at her. Every time she did that it's like looking at the mirror with my reflection staring back at me.
"Stop being cynical, you have to believe in me. Nothing awful will gonna happen."
I nodded leisurely pleased by her convincing words. I just hope that she was right.
Monday 6:00 a.m (Charlie's Garden)
"So what do you think?" Charlie expectant voice brought me back at the reality. I can't believe it. He bought me a truck. It was a shade of faded red despite the fact that it was old. Too old. I fell in love with it instantaneously.
"Dad? you're serious?! I mean this is too much I have money to-."
He cut me off immediately. "Bells it's a welcome present. Your sister also had one but it was not that old but cheap as well. It would be deliver here tomorrow." He said proudly. His eyes brightens with glee.
Izzy came into the view and her eyes pop in amusement. "Dad you didn't bought Bella a truck?" she instantly ran her fingers at the windshield marveling it I suppose. If there is one person who love auto it was Izzy apparently.
"I did and you just wait tomorrow Ish, I got your own."
Her jaw dropped in an O and instantly threw herself at Charlie's arms.
"Oh.. Dad that was very generous of you. I mean Mom doesn't buy us a car even though we asked her million times and you just freaking did?!"
He rolled her eyes. "I got bunch of money my self and I'm planning to spend it with my two wonderful daughters." Charlie was a chief of police in the good people of Forks.
"Aw Dad, that's too cheesy."
"Of course it is. So should I say good luck guys?" he asked hesitantly remembering this would be our first day in Forks High.
I nodded eagerly. "Dad we definitely need that."
Charlie chuckled lightly and Izzy snort rolling her eyes at me. "So Dad we see you soon."
Charlie passed me the key and I quickly climb my truck. Izzy volunteered to drive and I gladly obliged. I jumped at the passenger sit and prayed for the good outcome of the day.
