Why me?

Chapter 1 – New Home

It was finally here. It was the day I moved to some stupid town in the middle of no-where. This stupid town is known as Forks. My parents Renee and Charlie were fed up with the busy life-style of Phoenix, Arizona, so, they decided to buy a house in one of the smallest places ever!

"Bella, are you done packing yet? We need to leave for the airport in five minutes!" My mom, Renee shouted up the stairs.

"Coming, Mom!" I shouted back down. I looked outside and saw that it was pitch black. What time is it? I thought to myself. I looked at my watch and noticed that it was half past five in the morning. It does make sense, I suppose. We do have to get to the airport and then take the three hour drive down from Seattle to Forks.

I grabbed my remaining bags and said goodbye to my house in Phoenix.

"You ready Bells?" My dad Charlie asked.

Nope, not one single bit. "Yep, let's go."

With that the door was locked and the keys given to the realtor who looked like he couldn't wait for us to leave so he could go back to bed. I got in the car and said goodbye to my house in Phoenix for the last time. We only had some clothes in a few suitcases as all of our other stuff was already at the house in Forks.

When we reached the airport we checked our bags in and went to wait for our plane. Finally it was time for us to get on to the plane. I read for a bit then I tried to catch up on my sleep

Next thing I knew I was being woken up by my dad.

"Bells honey, we're here." Charlie whispered gently as he was waking me up.

I looked out the plane window and saw that it was raining.

Huh. Not surprising, I suppose.

We then collected our bags and headed towards my dad's new police cruiser. He had gotten the job of Chief after working in the force for ten years his boss had recommended him to the guys in charge over here and BAM he was the Chief of Forks' police.

I must have fallen asleep because next thing I saw was the green of Forks. Eugh, it's too green. A little green is nice, too much green in one place is barf worthy.

Before I knew it we were at the house. I hate to admit it but it is quite a nice house. I'd only heard mom and dad speaking about and only ever seen pictures so it's nice to see it in person. My parents came to see it when the cheerleading team I was on had to go cheer for the football team at an away game. The game was on a Friday night but my best friends Sophie, Meghan and I decided to make a girls weekend out of it. We didn't get back till late Sunday night.

The house is big I suppose that's one way to describe it! It has 3 floors and an apartment above it. It has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. In the apartment there is a kitchen, bathroom, living room and a bedroom.

When I was finally inside I noticed just how beautiful it is compared to the pictures. The pictures seriously don't do it justice.

"So which room is mine?" I asked as my parents came in, as I had just realized I had no clue where I would be sleeping.

"Well," Renee started. "We thought that considering that you're 18 now that maybe you would like to live in the apartment? You would have to buy your own food and kitchen supplies but you wouldn't have to pay for the bills or pay any rent." At the end she sounded like she was worried I was going to throw a fit.

"What? Seriously? Oh my God Mom! I'd love to!" I ran over squealing and pulled them both into as big a hug as I could manage with a bag in my hand. I went upstairs into my apartment and saw that all of my stuff was already there! I think they were prepared for me to say yes!

After I had unpacked as much as possible that I would go down and eat dinner with Renee and Charlie because they were ordering my favorite pizza!
"Um, Bella," Charlie started sounding very nervous.

"What's up, Dad?"

"I just thought that I should let you know that you start school tomorrow."
"Okay. But why do you sound nervous?" I replied. I loved school and Charlie knew that.

"Do you remember that bully Tanya Denali?" Her name made my blood boil with anger and hatred. When I had just started high school I was a bit overweight and Tanya used to bully me with the help of her helpers Zee and Cary. Her words started to get to me so I stopped eating and I got thinner and stayed thinner. I thought that by losing weight that she would stop bullying me, but it got worse. I was grateful the day that she moved away but her words still hurt me, even today.

"Yes, Dad," I said speaking through my teeth. "What about her?" Though I already knew the answer I didn't want it to be true.

"Well, er, she's, um, in your class." He replied cautiously.

I ran into the kitchen grabbed some pizza and I ran. I locked myself into my apartment to cry my eyes out. Tomorrow is gonna be a long day.
