Well.. This is my very first Story for FanFiction. No. This is my first attempt to write fiction.. ever. So please be nice :P.
Oh. And English is not my mother language. If I made any mistakes, feel free to let me know, so I can correct them.
I hope you'll enjoy this.
This chapter is more an introduction, because it is rather short.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.
Chapter One:
"Ugh! I'm done!" I would have never thought that moving would be this exhausting. Carrying heavy things, unpacking boxes, place things in shelves and assembling furniture are not things I enjoy to do.
Now, all I could do was lying on my bed, and try to forget all the mess that was still around me. "Bella! Move your lazy ass! We have some more boxes that need to get unpacked," I heard my annoying brother yell. "Grr.. 'm cummin," I mumbled into my pillow. "Just give me a minute to relax".
Wow. He didn't respond to this one. That was something new. Was he actually giving me time to rest an leave an opportunity to bother me? Maybe the whole „moving" thing does him good.
Just when I was about to close my eyes, I heard my door burst open and in the next moment my stupid brother lifted me over his shoulders and ran downstairs into the living room. The whole way I was screaming and pounding my fists on every part of his massive body I could reach. He just laughed at me and my worthless attempts to hurt him. Which made me just more furious.
There went my plan to just lie in my bed and play my guitar, to fill the peaceful silence. I should have known better. My „big" brother Emmet always has to be a pain in my ass.
People never believe me when I told them he was my twin brother. They wouldn't even guess that we were related. I can't blame them, though. We look nothing alike.. Well maybe our hair color. We both have dark hair while mine was more like a chestnut color his was almost black. But that's the only thing.
Emmet might be very intimidating towards others because of his outward appearance. According to him he is 6'6 tall but I would tend to 6'5. Which doesn't make such a difference, I know. He is still huge. With his strongly built and muscled body he looks like a weight lifter.
But if you get to know him better you rather see him as a teddy bear, than a grizzly bear. He is full of jokes and with his playful manner and childish behavior he seems like a a 10 year old boy in the body of an 18 year old man. Okay, he looks more like 21. Of course, he is sporty and obsessed with football. In our school in Phoenix almost every girl fell head over heals for him.
Well.. About me. As I mentioned before, I am the opposite of him. I'm neither very tall nor petite, I'm about 5'7. I wouldn't say, that I have a perfect body. For that I have too little muscle, probably because I've never done any sport. For a reason.
I am the less athletic and the most clumsy person..ever. I can't even walk on a flat ground without stumbling. No. Bella is a klutz. In Phoenix nobody was surprised, when I came with a broken leg or arm or bruises to school. I just can't help myself. The only thing I can do is hope that here in Forks a wonder happens and I wouldn't embarrass myself non-stop.
Actually I am a very shy and self-conscious ..but psst! I try to cover it up with indifferent and cold behavior. Emmet is full of him self. Not that he is bigheaded but he would never be shy or something. And he has no problem with making a fool out of himself.
Here I sat on the couch, fighting for air because my brother started tickling me. How I loathed it. Why do I have to be so ticklish? "S-Stop! I can't breath. Emmet. Please," I managed to squeal between my giggles.
"Enough! Emmet! " my mother Renee shouted out of the kitchen. "I thought you wanted to finish unpacking those boxes, so we can start dinner."
That got his attention. Whenever someone mentions something to eat, he starts to drool and gets impatient. Like a fucking dog.
"What's for dinner? You didn't cook yourself did you," he asked nervous. I couldn't help myself, but laugh inwardly. Damn it. I just can't stay mad at him, when he acts like that. Urgh.
"No. But thank you very much," Renee answered a small smile on her lips. "I ordered some Pizza and Pasta." Emmet almost leaped for joy. Boy! Calm down. It's not that we eat that almost every week.
"Where's dad?" I asked. "He will be here any minute. He has to take care of some things regarding his new position as the police chief," she answered and it was obvious that she was proud of her husband. I couldn't understand her enthusiasm for it. I mean we are in Forks with, I don't know 3000 citizen. I doubt that anything "big" would ever happen here.
Of course this job is far better than his crappy mall-security thing he had. So I decided not to say anything.
As if on cue, my father Charlie came through the door. "Hey dad," Emmet and I greeted. He acknowledged us with a warm smile and mum with a peck on her cheek.
"I see, you want to eat late today. Or why is your stuff still downstairs?" Charlie asked us. He wasn't mad. He just wanted to tease Emmet. With success.
My brother crossed his arms and pouted. „I would have been done a long time ago, if Bells didn't distract me," he whined.
"Oh. Come on! You know it's not my fault. If you had not kidnapped me and tickled me almost to death, I might have done something productive," I said shooting daggers at him.
Renee and Charlie just laughed at our childish behavior and started to carry some of the many boxes in their room.
Groaning I started with my things. While unpacking a few of my boxes I found my little "treasure chest" with all my most important belongings, that mean something for me, like jewelry, letters or pictures. I picked one of the pictures, where my two best friends Lila and Jack grimaced at each other. We were inseparable. Knowing that I can't see them every other day, or at least once a week, made sad.
Only now I realized how much I miss them already... "Bella, Emmet. Dinner's ready!" my mum pulled me out of my preoccupation of mind.
By the time I arrived at the table, Emmet ate already half of his pizza. Seriously, how can someone eat that fast?
Today I've chosen pepperoni pizza, which I immediately started to eat. "So, are you exited for your first school day tomorrow?" dad asked.
"Yes. It will be great. I'll try out for their football team, of course," Emmet answered. "Oh, I'm sure you are going to make it in their team," dad replied, which made Emmet smile. I know, he will kick their asses.
"And you Bella. Are you looking forward to it?" I swiftly stuffed another slice off pizza in my mouth, so I didn't have to answer his question immediately. I wasn't looking forward to it. Hell no. I wish I could just stay at home. I didn't want to be the new girl. In this small town like Forks, I bet they already knew that they'll get two new students.
"Yeah, mum. It will be great," I tried not to sound too sarcastic. Of course my mother knew me better. She could read me like an open book, which is really annoying. I think she felt that I was a little bit nervous.
"Oh, honey. Don't be afraid. I know you'll get to know a lot of nice people. I'm sure, you'll find new friends in no time," she tried to convince me. "Okay, mum. We'll see," I answered.
After dinner I quickly got ready for bed, brushed my teeth, slipped in my super comfy sweatpants and an oversized bandshirt of ACDC and fell into my bed.
I knew I would't sleep very well tonight, because I would worry about tomorrow. I just hope I won't do something stupid and embarrass myself in front of the whole school.
I was absolutely not looking forward to go there. I hate getting "socially active". And I'm not like Emmet, who finds new friends in like 5 minutes. I am not an outgoing person. Not at all. I have a feeling that tomorrow will be awful.
This was chapter one. I hope you liked it. Next chapter will be longer. And Bella finally meets Alice.
