I do Not own::: The Wonderful Stephanie Meyer Does.
Chapter 1: My Own Personal Hell
BPOV:
I nearly flew off the bed as the alarm clock woke me with it's usual annoying ring. I sighed and rolled out of bed, it was "the day". The day i had been dreading ever since my mother and her obnoxiously young boyfriend, Phil, sat me at the kitchen table and said the words "Bella, honey were getting married!" with so much enthusiasm that the only thing i could do was sit and stare at her incredibly wide eyes in slightly dazed state. Don't get me wrong i absolutely adore my mother, and Phil isn't so bad.
But i knew that i could no longer stay around. My mother would want to spend as much time with her new husband as possible. Husband, I shuttered at the word but continued in my thinking frenzy. So I made a split decision. I decided to pay a little visit to Charlie.
Charlie was my dad. My Mom, Renee, and him had had me very young. Renee felt Charlie was just at the beginning of his career as head chief. So when i was only a few months old, she took off to Phoenix with me. And every summer since i could walk i had been subject to go to Forks to spend time with my dad.
Ugh, Forks. Forks was a tiny town in Washington State. It's population is a little over 3,000 and it's literally the rainiest place on Earth. This is were I am exiling myself to for as long as i can stand.
I loved Phoenix, i loved the strong rays of the sun as they warmed my face, i loved the bitter-sweet breeze as it passed by invading my senses. But it didn't matter, i had already said goodbye to the sun during one of worse nights.
I loaded the last of my bags, which weren't many considering most of my clothes weren't fit for Forks weather. I sighed as i closed the trunk of my mom's car. I looked back as I drove away from sanity.
my mom hugged and kissed my cheek for the tenth within the hour and repeated what was starting to sound like a plea.
"Honey, you don't have to so this" She said with a crease between her eye brows.
"I want to go" I lied. I was never a good liar but i had been saying this so much lately that even i almost believed myself. Yeah right. I put my head phones on and drifted off to sleep just as the plane took off.
I woke up with an overly polite flight attendant really invading my personal space. I got up to use the bathroom and came back just as the pilot began announcing the landing. I sat in my seat and wallowed in my depressed state.
I don't even remember how i got off the plane, next thing i knew i was in Charlie's and heading towards the cruiser. I sat in silence in the passenger seat as Charlie loaded my bags.
we sped off in the cruiser on our way to my new personal hell. I let my mind numb as we drove through the too green streets of Forks. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine my precious Phoenix. Suddenly the cruiser stopped. I looked out my window and saw what I had been dreading the whole ride.
Charlie's house looked exactly the same as when my mother left there. I tried not to think of Charlie as obsessive but really who keep their wedding picture up on their wall after over 10 years of divorce? I headed up to my room with Charlie on my tail carrying my luggage. He set it down on the bed and mumbled the time for dinner and left. I closed my door locking it as he left and turned to my bags. I had to unpack quickly before I broke down.
I stared at my small closet and old dresser barely even troubled by clothes i had just placed in it. I heard Charlie rumbling around in the kitchen and went to see what was going on.
Charlie stood in the middle of the small kitchen not near enough to either the cupboard or the table balancing the pizza in one hand and a cup in the other. He reached to the cupboard and just as he was about to reach the cup, i cleared my throat.
"Oh Bella, I didn't see you there," he blushed and placed the pizza box on the table before getting the other glass. What was it with men and trying to do everything at once. The thought almost made me laugh. Almost. I sighed and sat down at the table.
As Charlie finished his meal he looked at me and blushed looking at the table, then he spoke.
"Bella," I lifted my head a bit so he knew i was listening, "You know you have to start school tomorrow, correct?" I nodded my head and kept nibbling on my pizza. Charlie gave up trying to start conversation and just migrated to the couch to watch a game that was playing.
I cleared the table and washed the glasses, then headed off to bed mumbling a "goodnight" to Charlie.
I headed off to bed too tired to complete my usual routine and just lied down fully clothed on top of the covers. And wondered what tomorrow would be like.
I wasn't exactly high on the social standard. Even though i lived my whole life in sunny Phoenix, i was never tan; Never good at sports. Hell never really good at an physical activity. It might have had something to do with the fact that i can't walk across a flat surface without tripping over a flat surface. Other than that, it wasn't that i wasn't pretty hell i could be drop dead gorgeous if i tried. It's just that i choose not to stand out. I rather have brain than looks.
I continued my little rant well into the night until the steady thump, thump of the rain drifted me to sleep.
When i woke, I looked out the window and immediately groaned. Of course it's raining Bella, what did you expect rainbows and butterflies. I got up quickly showered and dressed and ran a brush through my hair to try to tame the beast as i so nicely put it. I ran downstairs nearly tripping on the last step and stuffed a granola bar in my mouth just before bolting out the door.
What i didn't expect was the monster sitting on the driveway. It was huge, faded red, and to my surprise i immediately love it! I was running my hand down the side when i noticed a small sticky note nearly being rapped my the wind. I quickly grabbed it and read it in my head.
Bella,
I know leaving your mom and coming here was tuff. Hopefully this can cheer you up.
-Charlie
I smiled inwardly to myself as i nearly sprinted to the driver's seat. I climbed in and noticed the keys already in the ignition. I turned the key and with a loud rumble i was off. It wasn't hard finding the school. It was the largest building in all of forks, if you could even call it that.
There was a rather large building situated in the front of the premises, while other smaller buildings littered the rest of the area. I reached the parking lot in front of the large building. It was probably the main building considering where it was placed and how big it was.
I stepped inside and saw an overly excited, overworked, woman seated in the very front desk. She gave me my list of classes and a map and i was off. I ran back to my truck being careful not to slip on the pavement and followed the steady stream of cars which i presumed were heading toward the main parking lot.
I quickly found a parking spot next to an extremely ostentatious car. It was bright red, sleek leather and just screamed, touch me, I'm shinny, I immediately backed away. With my luck, the alarm would set off by just me looking at it. All in all, it just stood out compared to the rusty, faded, smelly cars the rest of the student population including me owned. I looked back just in time to see another sleek car pull in next to it. I looked the other way before the owner caught me staring and i all but died of embarrassment.
I headed off to homeroom with my head down concentrating on not tripping.
Homeroom went by, but not without much unwanted attention. Even with me sitting in the far back left of the classroom people still managed to look my way. I just blushed and look down, suddenly extremely interested in the patterns on m y old desk. I sighed as the bell rung.
I looked down at my schedule and moaned as i noticed the class i had first. Calculus, whoever invented this should rot in hell, i thought to myself as the teacher introduced us to the stupid syllabus. I nearly jumped out of my seat when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I snapped my head up noticed the classroom was empty.
I sighed and turned to the person who had so kindly woken me from my day dreams. She was small, she was happy, but most importantly she was gorgeous. Her short jet black hair stood out in every direction yet looked organized and tamed, her dark lashes framed her beautifully green eyes and her tall heels made her legs go on for miles. She looks like a pixy! I thought to myself. I was snapped out of my analysis just as she started speaking.
"Hi, you must be new!" I simply nodded at her and she continued, "I'm Alice Cullen!" She beamed, "I like you! Were gonna be best friends!" She nearly shouted as she nearly crushed herself to my chest. I stared at her in disbelief. "Come sit with me and my family at lunch!" She said as more of a command than an offer. I simply nodded again while i snapped out of my daze.
"Isabella Swan" I murmured as i reached out my hand for her to shake. She completely ignored my hand and pulled me in for another bone crushing hug.
"Isabella's too formal" She said more to herself, "Oohh! I'm going to call you, Bella," She smirked somehow already knowing what i preferred to be called. I smiled at her as she took my arm and asked for my schedule. Minutes later she grabbed me fiercely from the arm making me stop dead in my tracks. I stared at her while she beamed at my confused expression.
"We have every class together!" she squeaked, the stopped "besides spanish, you have it fifth hour while i have my fashion course!" She seemed proud of herself so i just smiled and let her drag me to class.
The day was going uneventful, but then lunch arrived and i suddenly felt nervous about sitting with her family. I looked down and bit my lip. A habit i did when i was nervous. Alice seemed to sense my hesitation because she grabbed my arm and nearly dragged me over to her table, for a little person she sure had lots of strength. When we arrived the table was empty so Alice and I took our seats side by side. I kept my vision down towards my tray of untouched food until i heard someone clear their throat and move the chair beside me.
I slowly lifted my line of sight only to be met by for curious sets of eyes. Alice look at me then to her table and announced proudly, "Guys, I'd like you to meet my new best friend, Bella"
I gapped at alice jaw wide open until i remembered the other people and turned to give them a week smile before, i blushed and looked back down to my tray.
"So..." said a voice that could only be described as honey. I turned my head only to be met by a startling pair of green eyes.
Hey Guys, so this is my first FanFic hope you enjoy it!!
