Chapter 1
Just this once why don't you see things through your down for the count but I won't count you out- I jerk awake to the blaring of Wefightfail by Aerolyn and immediately I reach over to swipe my cell phone to shut it up. I don't know why I chose that song for my alarm, it's good and all but six in the morning is way to early for that kind of music.
I groan when I remember why I have to get up so early. It's the first day of school at Forks High and I'm the new girl. Yippee (note the sarcasm). See, my mother has a new husband, Phil, and he's nice and whatnot but in all honesty I think he's abit too young.
Anywho, Phil plays in minor league baseball and traveled a lot due to his career. Mom wanted to travel along with him but stayed behind because of me. Even though she tried to cover it up I could tell she was unhappy. So here I am, living with my dad, Charlie, in Forks, Washington.
I get up from my bed and stumble to the bathroom to take care of my morning business. After that's done I come back to my room to decide what I shall wear today. I find some black skinny jeans and a studded belt and throw those on. Then I find a Paramore band t-shirt that says Ignorance is your new best friend and after I throw it on I start looking for my black vans. I finally find them in the back of the closet and put them on and then I look myself over in the mirror.
Not to sound conceded or anything but I am admittedly very pretty. I have long flowing chestnut hair with natural reddish-brown highlights, emerald green eyes that sometimes look like their glowing, and a flawless skin complection. I'm not the most beautiful but I am by no means ugly.
After I finish getting dressed I grab my backpack and head downstairs for breakfast. When I get to the kitchen I notice an envolope on the kitchen table. It had a note on it.
It read: Got a surprise for you in the driveway.I hope you like it –Charlie.
After reading that I'm pretty sure I knew what the surprise was. Especially since I found a key in the envelope. I decided to eat breakfast first before seeing what the 'surprise' was. I made myself some scrambled eggs and some toast and ate it in record time. When I was done I put the dishes in the sink, grabbed my backpack then headed for the door. Once I stepped out side my jaw dropped.
Sitting there in the driveway is a shiny red and black 1969 Road Runner. It looked brand new. I wish I had more time to ogle it and look it over but I'm running late. School's gonna start in 5 minutes, and I still haven't gotten my schedule.
So I lock the front door then run up to the car, getting in and put the key in the ignition to start it up. A happy smile makes its way onto my face when it comes to life and I can hear the roar of the engine.
I pull out of the driveway and with an elated laugh, make my way towards Forks High. Finding the school was no problem at all. In a town this small nothing's to hard to find. I pull into the parking lot and as I'm looking for a space I notice all eyes are on me. I blush in embarrassment, not used to the attention. I guess it's understandable considering that my car, compared to theirs, is pretty flashy.
That's when I notice on the other side of the parking lot is a silver Volvo. While it does seem like a mom car it does stand out amongst the rest. I wonder who, in this small town, can afford a car like that. 'Oh well, it's none of my business', I think to myself. I find a space at the edge of the lot and park there. I hop out of my sweet ride and grab my backpack. I turn towards the school while pressing the lock button on my keys. 'Another year of the hell that is highschool', I thought dryly.
I approach the entrance of the school and as I make my way inside an asian pimply faced boy seemingly appears out of nowhere and I jump a bit.
"Hi I'm Eric Yorkie! The eyes and ears of Forks High. You're the new girl, Isabella Swan, right? Chief Swan's daughter?", The boy asks enthusiastically.
Recovering from my surprise I reply, "Just Bella please. And yeah that's me, am I that obvious?"
"Not really, we just don't get that many new students around here. But anyway I wanted to ask if I could interview you for our schools paper!?" Eric asks with a smile nearly splitting his face.
"Oh well uh… I'd love to…", Eric looks at me hopefully at this, "….but I really don't want anyone to know more than they have to and right now all they need to know is that I'm Isabella Swan, I'm Chief Swan's daughter, and I moved here from Pheonix."
"Oh ok, I understand." Eric replys clearly disspirited. I can't blame the guy. I bet I'm the first little bit of news he's gotten in a while. What with this being a small town that doesn't get very many new faces, there's probably not much to write about around here.
"Well if you"ll excuse me I need to pick up my schedule." I say edgeing around him in the direction of the administrative office.
"Ok…..Wait! I was wondering if you'd like to join me and my friends for lunch?" Eric asks.
"Sure!" I yell over my shoulder at him.
Once I was in the office I walked up to the lady at the front desk. "Hello, how may I help you?" She asks.
"Hi I'm the new student, Isabella Swan, and I'm here to pick up my schedule.?" It was supposed to be a statement but came out as a question.
"Ah yes Chief Swans daughter right?" She replys as she rifles around for my schedule.
"Wow, word gets around fast huh?" I ask her chuckling.
"Yeah well this is a very small town where everbody knows everything about you, but don't worry you'll get used to it." She replys.
"I hope so." I reply chuckling abit.
"Well here you go Isabella." She says while handing me my schedule and a yellow slip. "And make sure you get that yellow paper signed by all of your teachers." She adds.
"Thanks I will. Oh and I prefer Bella by the way." I say on my way out the door.
I made it to my first period just before the bell rang.
"Ah you must be my new student Isabella Swan, correct?" He asked.
"Yeah that's me but please call me Bella, Isabella makes me feel old." I joked. He chuckled a bit then asked if I need him to sign a slip from the office.
"Oops I almost forgot." I say handing it to him. After he signs it he tells me that I can sit at any available seats. There are only two in the middle and one in the back by the window. And since I'm a window gazer during class I chose the window seat.
That's how the first half of my day went. I'd get to the class just in time, get introduced, have the teacher sign my slip, then choose a seat. When lunch came around I got in line for food then looked around for that Eric guy I met earlier. I saw him two tables down waving his arms in my direction like a maniac with such an enthusiastic expression that it reminded me of a puppy welcoming their master home with their tongue hanging out and tail wagging.
I make my way over to the table and I look around at everyone there shyly. "Guys this is the new girl Isabella Swan." Eric introduces me to everyone. "Bella, this is Angela, Ben, Mike, Jessica, and Lauren." He intoduces everyone starting from the girl next to me going counter-clock wise.
After the introductions the entire cafeteria went silent and I turned to look at what everyone was staring at. Walking into the cafeteria had to be the most beautiful people I've ever had the privelage to lay my eyes on.
The first to come through the cafeteria doors was a somewhat fit looking guy with wavy blood hair. His face looks all tight as if he's in pain, but despite that he still looked like he could be a male model. The guy who came in after him was a lean looking guy with hair that seems to defy gravity and a brooding face. I don't know why but I have a feeling he's the type of guy who likes to have his way but doesn't get it often, hence the brooding face. After him came a big muscled guy and one of the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, even compared to the others she was a beautiful site. She looks to be about 5'10 with a killer figure. She has wavy blond hair that curls around her shoulders beautifuly like the finest of arts. The big muscled guy next to her looked huge. At least 6'0 tall with very short hair with little curls in them. Though he seems like the type to be threatening and scary he's got a big smile and kind eyes that makes me think of him as a giant teddy bear. Then the last one of them came through the doors and my breath caught in the back of my throat. I take back what I said about the blond, she's not the most beautiful. The tiny girl with the pixy-like features and pixie cut hair is the most beautiful. She came skipping gracefully through the doors as if she was dancing. I watched her as if she was moving in slow motion toward her table with the others.
"Those are the Cullens." The voice of Jessica reaches me in the silence making me jump.
"Who?" I asked.
A/N This is the first chapter of the first story I've ever written, so please be gentle...or don't. I guess that's up to you.
