It was around 6 in the morning when the storm rolled in. It was too dangerous for the ship to go back to shore for the waves were rough and it would cause damage. Thankfully there was a doctor on the ship who haleped give birth to me. "Push baby. I know you can do it." My dad said to my mom.
Mom pushed for a total of 10 seconds and then collapsed back on the bed. She was covered in sweat and really tired but still trying to deliver me. After 2 hours of pushing I was finally born. I was a whole 8.6 pounds and wailing my head off.
Today is my 16th birthday but unlike most kids celebrating their birthday with a party or even a big family get together I`m celebrating it on the road. We`re moving from Kansas to Washington. To be more precise we`re moving to Forks Washington. I wasn`t too bummed out about it. I was excited. For me this is an oppurtunity for a new beginning.
"Sam how you feeling honey?" My mother asked interrupting my thoughts.
I turned to her and smiled. "I`m fine mom I swear."
She gave me a very critical look but turned her gaze back to the road. She was worried about me because today is my birthday and we`re moving. I smiled at her and said, "We can celebrate when we get there. I just want to see our new house and start our new lives. It`s more exciting than a birthday party."
She smiled and said, "Yeah it is pretty exciting."
We were quiet after that as we drove the last of the distance to our new house. Dad was at the house already getting the bigger stuff mom and me couldn`t bring unpacked. I was really anxious because mom and dad bought this house when i wasn`t there so I`ve never seen the house. I closed my eyes and rested my head against my window deciding that I needed to sleep for a bit.
I woke up hour`s later to my mom lightly shaking my shoulder. I looked at her through my groggy eyes. "We`re here honey."
I looked out the windshield to see a beautiful log cabin. It was atleast 2 stories high with these beautiful windows. I opened my door and decided to take a look around the house. I walked up the steps of the snow covered porch. The porch wrapped around the house and led to the backdoor. I entered through the front door into a big hallway with a flight of stairs that went up and another on on the opposite side that led to the backdoor. To the right was our living room that was somewhat downstairs. Dad already had all the furniture unloaded and placed where it would stay until mom wanted a change. :)
I walked out of the living room across the hall into the kitchen. It was gorgeous. It had one of those islands that had pots and pans hanging over it from the ceiling. I walked around it to see the big stove and oven and all the other appliances. I was in awe of how fantastic this was. I walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs.
On one side of the hall was another set of stairs. on the left were 3 doors. One looked like a nursery. (Yeah I have a new brother and sister coming soon). Next to that door was my parents room. I decided not to enter that room. The last door was my room. I walked into my room feeling happy. My bed is against the far wall with my nightstand beside it. My dresser is beside my closet. The only things I really had to do was to unpack my stuff and put it up.
I ran down the stairs eager to make my room officially mine. I grabbed as many boxes as i could and headed back up to my room. I only made 3 trips to the car but had all my stuff in my bedroom. I unpacked everything and sat on my bed satisfied. too bed i didn`t have anything to put in my bathroom other than a bottle of shampoo and conditioner and my body wash. I glanced at my cell phone, and it read that it is 15 past 11. I decided that it`ld propably be best to get some sleep.
I woke a little after 8 the next morning and showered. I dressed in my skinny jeans, winter boots, and and a sweater with my cammi. I then went down stairs and grabbed my jacket, my scarf, and my gloves. Then i grabbed my car keys and my purse and headed out. I went to the only store that looked like it might have my stuff. I grabbed a basket and started shopping. I made it to the aisle with the towels when I was approached by a girl wearing an orange vest signalling she worked here.
"Hey you new here? Haven`t seen you here before."
Smiling I replied, "Yeah I actually just moved here last night. I live in that cabin in the woods."
She smiled knowingly and said, "My dad was wondering who that was. We live pretty close to that house. We would`ve came over with some cookies or something but it was pretty late at night."
"It`s ok. We were too tired after all that. "
"So what`s your name?"
I glanced back at the towels still not sure which brand I should get but said, "My name`s Samantha Fallen. What`s your`s?"
"Mine`s Alexia. Do you need some help?"
I smiled at her and said, "Yeah actually I`m debating what type of towels i should get."
She giggled and said, "The most popular brand is Phargo. Alot of people get those."
"Thanks."
She smiled and left. I turned to get the towels she suggested but was stopped by a gorgeous girl with white skin and brown eyes. She wore a white button up shirt and a pair of faded jeans. I couldn`t help but stare but that`s when 2 other people showed up beside her. "Mom help me find some towels. I`m gonna need to replace our old ones since the kid`s just can`t seem to not tear holes into them."
That`s when they all noticed me. I smiled nervously. "Hi. I`m Samantha. I`m new here."
The real pretty one stepped forward and said, "Hi my name`s Bella and this is my daughter Renesmee and her husband Jacob."
I stared open eyed at them. "No way. You don`t look a day over 20."
She smiled and said, "Thanks. Well we`ll see you later."
As they walked away I heard Renesmee say, "She`s a sweet girl. Wouldn`t she be perfect for Blake?"
Bella answered saying, "Yeah I think she would be."
I shrugged and grabbed a set of towels and then walked around the store to get the rest of the things I need. After done with bathroom stuff I went to the school section. I wouldn`t start school until Monday but I figure I get the stuff now. I decided my basket couldn`t handle any more so I exchanged it for a cart. I went back to the aisle and grabbed 15 notebooks, 3 packs of pencils, 1 pack of black pens, 1 pack of red pens, 1 pack of blue pens, 10 3"notebooks, 10 folders, a pencil carrier, and a few packs of notebook paper.
I finally went to the check out stand and payed for the stuff with the money i made from my summer jobs. then I went home and unloaded my stuff. I checked my clock and decided to go out for something to eat. Unfortunately the only place was a diner. I walked in and sat at a table close to the window. The sun was starting to go down. A guy who looked to be in his school came up and asked, " What would you like to order ma`am?"
I smiled at him and said, "I`ll take a salad and a Coke please."
He smiled and asked, "Will that be all?"
I rechecked the menu real quick and then nodded. He smiled, took my menu and put in my order. I sat starting out the window until I heard someone walk up and pull out a chair across from me. I glanced over to see Alexia sitting down across from me. The waiter came back and when he saw her he smiled and said, "Yo Alex what`s up? Long time no see."
She smiled at him and replied, "Hey Andrew how you been? Have you met my new friend here?"
He smiled at me and said, "Yeah she`s pretty cool. What`s your name by the way?"
Alexia laughed and I chuckled saying, "My name`s Samantha. What bout you?"
"My name`s Andrew."
He went to say something else but the guy shouted saying my order was done. He smiled at us and got my order and then had to leave to deal with his other tables. I smiled at Alexia and asked, "What all is there to do around here?"
"Well there`s not much here in Forks but there`s alot in Seattle not even 2 hours from here."
Smiling I started to think about all the wonderful things around here that I could do. Alexia ordered her meal from Andrew but before we left his shift ended. He hung out with us for the last bit we were there. I decided that I liked the both of them.
The rest of the weekend went by pretty fast and without much activity. I got lots of texts from Andrew and Alexia. Mom and dad ended up going out to alot of work related parties so I spent alot of time at home emailing my friends. That is until Monday morning came along.
I woke at 6:30 since school started at 8 but Alexia wanted to show me around. I showered and then dressed. I dressed in +a pari of jeans my winter boots and a thick knitted sweater. I blow dryed my hair and then curled it. I applied some light makeup and then grabbed my jacket, my scarf, me gloves, and lastly my purse with my keys in it. I walked outside turning on my Honda insight with my new snow tires.
I arrived at school around 7:30. Alexia was standing in the parking lot waiting for me. When she was me she waved me over. Andrew was standing with her so he noticed her waving me over. He smiled at me when I walked up and said, "Hey you gonna watch us play some hoops?"
Smiling I said, "Sure. Let`s go."
I watched these 9 guys play hoops but before the 10th player got there Alexia pulled me away to show me around the school. Right as class was about to start when Alexia saw a guy and ran up to him. he picked her up and hugged her and then set her down. Some words were exchanged and then he was walking my way. I tried to turn around and talk to the other girl`s but I was really nervous. Suddenly Alexia had me turned around facing the boy.
"Sam this is Blake Cullen. Black this is Samantha Fallen. OR Sam."
I smiled nervously and said, "Hey."
He seemed just as nervous but still said, "Hi."
Alexia looked at him with a raised eyebrow. And something passed in between them that I didn`t quite catch. Suddenly I heard the first bell go off and Alexia say, "Hey Blake what`s you`re first hour class?"
He pulled a slip of paper out of his back pack and looked at it before replying, "Ummm U.S. History. why?"
"Well that`s Sam`s first class too. Why don`t you show her the way?"
