(LPOV)

The car zoomed along the highway a I watched the green tress and shrubbery pass by out the window. It was too green. Like an alien planet. The rain pattered relentlessly on the windows of the car as I drove to my new home. Home. I didn't really want to call this new, foreign place home. My home was back in New York, living as a city girl, but I guess when both your parents are tragically killed in a car accident and your only living relative is on the other side of the country in some small town, you have no other choice. So here I was, driving to my new home of Forks, Washington.

Its been 2 weeks since the accident and all I can feel is numbness. I remember the feeling of dread that washed through me when the policeman told me the news, but after that, its completely numb. The next two weeks flew by in a blur of nothingness as it was decided I was to go and live with my only living relative (seeing as I was only 17), an aunt I had never met, in a town I had never been to. Once the decision was made I packed my belongings and left to the other side of the country. When my aunt picked me up from the airport I immediately recognised her from the photo's I had been sent. She was a large, bubbly lady who lived by herself. Her name was Allison and she was my mothers sister. She was wearing bright floral clothes that looked completely out of place in such a dull coloured town and she spoke with a loud, but lovely, booming authority. As soon as I saw her, I was wrapped up into a huge, squishy hug as she kissed my hair numerous times. I loved her straight away.

She went on to explain to me about the school I would be attending in two days time and how lovely all the students were. To be truthful I was quite excited about starting a new school. I enjoyed social interactions and I was generally a fairly popular person at my old school. I didn't consider myself attractive but I wasn't ugly. I should probably say a bit about myself. My name is Lola Pearson and I am currently 17 years of age. I have quite tanned skin (from my fathers side), shoulder length, layered dark, brown hair and big brown eyes. I'm not sure where my brown eyes came from, considering both my parents had blue and green eyes. (A/N Picture Lola like this but her hair a little less dramatic yourbeautyspot..au/slideshow.aspx?sectionid5339§ionnameslideshow&subsectionid77585&subsectionnamebrunettehairinspiration2&photo3)

When we arrived at my new home my aunt proudly showed me to my new bedroom. I was slowly starting to feel some emotion as I was showed around by this lovely women. My bedroom was lovely. It overlooked the back yard with a large window on the back wall. There was a tree leading up to the window and a swing hanging from the tree. In my bedroom there was a queen bed, a lounge, a computer desk with a stylish looking laptop on it and a few pictures and paintings on the wall. The floor was a stylish light timber and there was an ensuite on left hand wall. I fell in love with it straight away and turned around to give my aunt a huge hug.

Later that night we over dinner, we discussed transport arrangements. My aunt had inherited a large amount of money from her late husband so she did not need to work and was still very well off. Along with this information she also told me she had purchased me a car. I was ecstatic. In the garage was a new Porsche that was absolutely fantastic. I nearly cried.

The next 2 days passed by quickly with me unpacking and trying to settle in. After the initial excitement of moving in had passed, the numbness returned and a sat in my room for a whole day. The night before school started I couldn't sleep and when I awoke in the morning I found my aunt had already left. The was a note on the table.

Lola darling,

I have gone for my morning bushwalk and by the time I return you will be gone. There is cereal in the cupboard or toast in the freezer. It is up to you. Have a nice day at school and there is some lunch money on the kitchen bench.

Much Love,

Allison xox

After reading the note, wolfing down some breakfast and grabbing the money to put in my purse, I quickly raced upstairs to have a shower and get dressed. I dressed in some dark denim high rise skinny jeans with an all white lacy top that complimented my figure well. I topped it off with a simple pair of flats. I would have to say I looked pretty good, I enjoyed my fashion sense. I just left my hair out, letting the layers run their natural course and fixed my large fringe. I applied some eyeliner, mascara and a bit of foundation to smooth my skin, and I was ready to go. Well as ready as I will ever be. I thought I looked OK, nothing fantastic but it will have to do I thought as I quickly rushed out the door.

As I pulled into the parking lot a few kids turned to look at the new arrival but then quickly dismissed it, as the bell rang. I jumped out and ran to the office to sign in.

"Hello my name is Lola Pearson, I am a new student here and I was just coming to get my schedule" I stated to the elderly looking lady behind the desk.

"Hello Lola, I am Ms Stanley, here is your schedule and forms. I would like you to bring this back at the end of the day with all the teachers signatures on it." She said in a friendly tone. I smiled in reply and quickly walked off to my next class. Calculus. Oh joy. Apparently I had somebody named Mr Futrim. As I walked into the class I watched as everybody's heads turned to stare at the new girl. I quickly walked over the Mr Futrim and handed him my sheet. He made me make a small introduction to the class which embarrassed me a bit. I was always a little bit self conscious in front of a group. As I walked to my desk my foot caught the edge of a desk and I went sprawling across the floor. The classroom burst into laughter and I nearly died of embarrassment. I stood up and bent down to collect my books, only to see that they weren't there. I looked up again and I was suddenly staring into the most glorious pair of blue eyes I had ever seen…
