"Elena! Where are you?" my mom asked. "Yea mom, right here." I sighed as I rolled off the couch the movers came to pick up. "God knows how much Im gonna miss this old house." ma sighed as she stood in the empty livingroom.
"Then why are we leaving mom? This has been our home since, well, forever!" I said. Mom sighed and smiled at me. Her honey eyes catching the sunlight as her short burgandy hair waved in the breeze from the open windows. Although she was reaching her 40's, my mother still had it.
"Im sorry honey. And you know exactly why." she said. And I did, but I didint want to believe it. My mom was dating. A guy. Said guy wants her to uproot her sixteen year old daughter without thought and move to Washington to, resume the next steps of a relationship.
I don't know about you, but this is the most irresponsible thing my mother has ever done, in her life. And apparently his got a daughter from a previous marrige as well. Shes a month older than me, August, and mines in September. Although I've never really begged for anything, I wasn't going to leave my home.
"Why couldn't he move to us? Whats being on the police force in Forks have there we dont? He'd surely get the same job!" I reasoned as she pulled me to her sleek black mustang. "Cause honey, he's been ddoing it since he was 29!" she said excitedly. I was dumbstruck. "Mom, you've been behind a desk working your way up to president in your department for 20 years!" I was honestly drawing a blank as to why she was doing this!
It was clear she wasn't doing this just to me, her herself as well. She waved me off like I was nothing. "Oh hun, I can get a new one!" she said cherrily as she reved the engine. Was this her midlife crisis? If so its comming abit late, but I wouldn't doubt it. "Mom, are you okay?" I asked as she grinned. "Honey, Im doing this for the both os us! Trust me when I tell you everything is going to go smoothly!" she promised.
That was a month ago. Everything was as expected...unexpected. Arriana, Dans daughter, was furious she had to give up her makeup room for me. The place had three rooms and a little apartment shack outback.
My mother, being in her happy mood that was starting to get alittle creepy, not wanting to cause trouble said I would take the shack. Now, to some, this might be a slap to the face, I toke as a God send!
I didn't want to be there, so the farther away the better.
It had its own bathroom, bedroom, little kitchen and dinning room with a suprisingly big livingroom. Im suprised he didn't rent it out.
But when I seen the inside I new why. From ceiling to floor, dust was like the paint, which when cleaned I found a soothing orange. The floors were nice wood, shiney when I cleaned it.
I set it up nice. The rest of the weekend was forced time we had to spend together. It was horrible! I tried to give Arriana the benifit of the doubt, but all I ended up with was haveing a new goal in life.
Trying not to kill Arriana Jenkins. I just thought that she abit upset having more people in her house, girls no less. I wasnt happy about my mom dating, why would it be any different for her?
Theory gone out the window when we all went out for dinner. First no reaserunt was good enough. Then when we found one, they had nothing under 150 calories besides water, and then she was complaining that she could be out partying with her bffs. I had half a mind to tell her off and punch her.
But the other half calmed down, thinking rational thoughts. I was obviously right about her. Long wavey died blonde hair, unnatural tan, too much makeup and wearing skin tight clothes that bearly covered something she didnt have? Yeah, and a makeup room?
No room FOR doubt.
Her dad seemed a stressed guy. Plae, Black hair, and hard green eyes. He had alot of frown lines and put then to good use. You could just look at him and know he's a hardass. I mean he got my mother down off her high horse in two weeks top.
Thats scary. He was someone to definatly be weary about. But other than that, mom seemed to be happy. Why should I care?
Whats done is done, right?
I woke to my radio alarm clock blaring some heavy metal crap. It was only to get me up in the mornings. I hit a button on my iPod doc and it was at my morning rutine music within seconds.
I liked soft going music usually. But my morning music, was all upbeat and funky.
I showered and wondered over to my closet in nothing but a towle. I always used to think of myself as, thick. I was a size 10 in jeans because I have two asses. The only thing I actually liked about my body was my bust. It was...bigger than average.
Mom always told me to be proud, and she said I got it from my dads side of the family. I never really knew my dad. He toke off as soon as he found out about me. Then randomly showed up, drunk, wanting to see me.
I couldnt blame mom for the restraining order. He was creepy. But at least I knew where I got my completion. He was mexican. Yeppers, Im a half breed, from florida, in Forks Washington. Yay,,,,, I rolled my grey eyes I received from my mother.
I pulled out some low rise jeans, a studded black belt, a white tube top and a form fitting somewhat see through white shirt, buttons undone at the top. I blowdried my long, curly black hair.
It was a mass of frizz when I was done. Soon though, it was straitened and pulled into two low loose braids with white ribbon through it. I applied some black eyeliner and pale yellow eyeshadow for abit of color and mascara.
Smacking on some cherry blistex I shoved on my orange convers, grabbed my red bookbag, pulled on my raincoat and treked out in the light drizzle.
I didn't mind the rain to much. It was like it was matching my mood for the time being. I went through the back door and shook off making mom laugh.
"Like your space?" she asked as I smiled abit nodding. "You look nice! Turning a new leaf?" she wriggled her eyebrows. I giggled abit. Back in Florida, I wore baggy clothes because of my size.
But since I was starting new and wasn't trying to fit in, why not let go. Maybe they wont bother the new FAT girl. I frowned and waved.
"There really is no buses here. Umm, the school is only a ten minute walk?" she offered as I rolled my eyes starting out the door. "Bye Lana!" she called cheerily.
Why was she so happy about ruining my life? I walked and realized I had no idea where the hell I was suppost to go. When I was about to turn around and go ask, I seen Arriana back out of the garage with a pale pink jeep.
She sees me and smirks, gunning it purposly trying to cover me with water. Good thing my coat was water proof. Great, not only does princess get to live with my mom but she gets to drive to school?
Why does my mother hate me? WHY?
Bad news? Im jelous of a girl who really needs a reality check.
Good news? I know which direction to walk now.
Ten minutes goes when your not really paying attention. Also, everyone was insanely pale.
That and apparently, they had a staring problem. So when I entered the office, got my scedule and started randomly walking, I was abit uncomfortable with myself now.
At my old school, no one gave me the time of day, or glanced at me. Here, I was like a freak show, everyone was watching. I was now trying to find Science when I ran into someone.
I was never really a clumsy person, so when this happened, guess where I ended up?
"Hey!" someone said abit loud. I blushed as I got on my hands and knees, picking up my scedule.
"Are you okay?" the voice, which I distinguished to be male, asked, now squated next to me. I looked up and seen hazel eyes staring back.
"I-Im sorry! It wont happen again." I apoligized standing again to my glorious 5'2. He smirked and stood a whole foot taller. He had sandy brown hair, hazel eyes and a nice smile.
I just knew he was gonna cause me trouble.
"Your that new girl? Lives with Arriana now?" he asked, keeping up with my hurried pace.
I nodded stiffly. Great, just great! He was probably being nice to me to get to miss priss! He scoffed.
"I feel sorry for you." My eyes widened and I smiled abit.
"Im Luke by the way. Now I know why she said all those things about you." he said smirking again.
My smiled dropped. I Knew it. He was here to make fun of me. I bent my head.
"If all your gonna do is make fun of me, then leave me alone." I said abit quiet. He scoffed.
"Nah, tisn't my cup of tea, to pick on people. I was just saying. Arriana only spreads stuff about people because shes jelous. I know why now. Everyone else will know by the end of the day to." he smiled down at me as I looked at him shocked.
"Her? Jelous of me?" I asked as he laughed. It was deep like his voice.
"Well, yea. You kinda have plenty of what shes lacking, get what Im saying?" he asked huskily as my breathing hitched.
"Oh, she wants to be fat?" I asked dejectedly as he looked at me weird.
"Fat? Dudette, I was talking about your tits and ass. Shes a fuckin stick." he said as I tried to hold in my laughter.
"Well, that's a nice way of putting it Johnson."
We both turned to see a dude around the same height as Luke, but he had black hair, was possibly paler, pale green eyes and an arrogant look. He would have been cute, only you could tell he was stuck on himself.
I hate cocky bastards.
"What do you want Jeff?" Luke asked mystery guy, Jeff. He smirked as he looked me over.
"Just checking out the new girl. Wanted to see if my girl was telling the truth." he quipped.
Luke rolled his eyes. "Sure, sounds like you. Get lost Jeff, before Arriana comes and whipps you back into place. Run along like a good little bitch." he said.
While I was watching this, I seen a croud forming. This only seemed to fuel Jeff's fire as he heard encuragement to 'beat his ass!'.
"Shove it Luke. Your just abit upset that your not the one making Arri scream your name." he said as Luke looked away.
"Dude, Arriana screams more than jsut yours. Ask your team, they know what Im talking about." he said as the croud said burn.
"Thats it!" he shouted as he lunged at Luke. Luke smirked and dodged his punch.
My heart started to sink.
"Hey you two knock it off!" I shouted as I grabbed Lukes hand. He turned to me in question as Jeff started charging again.
I stepped infront of Luke and glared.
"Listen Jeff, back off. Whats to prove? Your girls a slut get over it. Yeah I live with her. Big deal. Doesn't give you the right to mind rape me either. Just wallk away." I soothed.
It somewhat wroked. The croud booed, but dispersed when the bell rang. Jeff looked down at me and grinned, not a happy one, a freaky creepy one.
"Whats your name?" he asked as I turned, Luke following close.
"None of your busness." I said, walking in a random direction. Luke steered me in the other direction.
"You have L.A, Mrs. Grubbs right?" he asked as i nodded.
"Same, only its this way." he laughed as I blushed.
We got off because I was new, only thing I didnt like about the class was that she made me introduce myself infront of everyone! This was my epic fail.
By the third class I had it down pat.
"Im Maria, nice to meet you." was all I said and I would akwardly wait for the teacher to get over their shock at my anti-socialism and tell me where I had to sit.
Lunch rolled around and everyone was looking at me. I met this girl, Angela, who wanted me to sit with her and her posse.
Why not?
I haven't seen Luke since first period, and he certainly wasnt seeking me out. So I said to hell with it and accepted. She literaly dragged me to the table.
There, I was flirted with by a guy named Mike, the whole time. I ignored his advances. I talked with Jessica and Angela. Suprisingly Eric to, giving them some good topics for their newspaper.
They asked how Arriana knew me. I dished that my mom was dating her dad, to their great suprise.
"Thats weird. Hes so paranoid, and his daughter thinks shes gods gift to everyone, excuse me, guys." Jessica spat.
I nodded. We talked about her and how sorry they were for me haviong to live with her. I told them it was fine, that I got the apartment outback and they all cheered about having a party soon?
Sudenly, the whole cafe, got abit first it was because I thought they were listening in on when this 'party' was taking place. I looked around and seen some people comming in.
Jessica groaned as Angela patter her shoulder comfortingly.
"Who are they?" I asked as she smirked, giving me details about the the whole Cullen family. And apparently, their friend Bella was hanging with them now.
I knew thhat feeling well. You make friends and then dump them? Heartless much? I nodded on though, not really caring. I had a life to. It might not be the best one, but its more important tolive my own than fawning over someone else's ya know?
Lunch was over and I had a class with all of them. Yay! Not. I had to be pairs up with Mike for a month long project.
School was at an end.
Tyler, a cool dude with a van offered to drive me how.
What can I say?
Im a lazy ass.
When he pulled into my driveway, Ihopped out, thanked him and wason my way to my little shack.
As I passed the house I heard Arianna raising hell inside. Dan reprimanding. I didn't know where mom was, but for the moment I didn't care.
All I really cared about, was taking a nice hot shower before it started to rain again.
Well? Was it good? Bad?
Reviews make the world abit BRIGHTER!
