A/N Hear is the first chapter of my story. I'm excited about it. I needed a break from all the angst lol. Sort of a short chapter.
The ride to school excruciatingly short. I hated this. Renee thought it would be good for me, but what she was really doing was setting me up for social suicide. I was perfectly happy being home schooled. Everything was safer. Now in front of Forks high school, I felt more self-conscious than ever.
I looked back towards the parking lot and Renee gave one last reassuring smile before peeling off, leaving me to my doom. She left before I could run back and make her take me home. She had promised me that it would be fine, but I knew that I would be a pariah. Not just because I was the new girl, but because once they found out my secret, I would be pitied and I didn't need anyone feeling sorry for me.
I walked to the main office to pick up my schedule. There was a portly woman with graying hair sitting behind a desk. She was writing on a piece of paper and I had to cough lightly in order to get her attention.
"E-Excuse me," I stammered out. "I'm new here."
I didn't say much else. Her piercing eyes bore into me and I had to stare at my feet to hide my flushing cheeks.
"Oh yes," she croaked out. "Bella Swan." She clicked her tongue at me stared appraisingly. She had read my file. She knew. She knew and now she was judging me.
I stood there uncomfortably before she finally began ruffling somewhere behind her desk to pull out a thick manila folder.
She slammed it down on the desk and I had to hold in a shriek. The woman's hands were covered in scales and glistened in the light. They shimmered from green, to blue, to red, depending on which angle the light hit it at.
I broke my gaze in time to keep it from bordering on the rude side. That was normal here, I kept having to remind myself.
"In here are documents your parents must sign, your schedule and other things you should look over. Welcome to Forks High."
I nodded to her and quickly grabbed my envelope off of the desk and walked out of the office.
I pulled out my schedule and checked my classes. I had regular classes for my first three periods, but before I could take a glance at period 4, a sudden gust of wind blew it out of my hands.
I heard snickering and turned to see a group of boys not even trying to look innocent in the direction the burst of wind came from.
I ignored them and went to look for my schedule.
"Heyy!"
I turned and saw a curly headed girl descending towards me. I gasped. The girl had the most beautiful set of wings I had ever seen. They looked like a butterfly's, but it had ever color of the rainbow.
She ignored my gaping when she finally landed.
"Hi, are you," she looked down at the piece of paper she was holding, "Bella Swan?"
It took me a second or two to break my gaze from her wings. It was like staring at the sun. After a while, spots began dancing in my vision from all the colors.
I finally managed to close my mouth and nodded at the girl.
"Oh, then I guess that this is your schedule," she giggled, holding the paper up to me. "It sort of blew right into my face."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I must have lost my grip on it."
"Don't worry about it. I saw everything. Those guys are jerks," she pointed at the group of boys who were snickering at me. "That's why most girls around here avoid wearing skirts."
I felt relieved at the fact that I had decided to go with a pair of simple jeans for my first day of high school.
"Oh, I'm Jessica by the way," she held out her hand to me and I took it.
"Hi," I said back.
"Welcome to Forks High," she smiled. She looked back at my schedule before handing it to me. "And it looks like we'll be having sixth period flight class together."
I smiled back even though I was screaming on the inside. Jessica walked me to my first period class, Math. A normal class. She left me saying that she'd see my during sixth period. I waved back and nodded as she whizzed away. It was a lie. My first lie on the first day of school. I would have to get used to it.
Jessica wouldn't be seeing me in sixth period...because I don't fly. I don't really do much of anything...
A/N Like it? I think it will begin to get more interesting. What powers do the other characters have? You should tell me what you think the powers of other characters would be based on their personality.
