"Bella, hurry up or your going to be late!" Charlie yelled. Between smoking and the fact that he's not a morning person he sounds rough in the morning.
"I'm going, I'm going for the love of all that's holy just gimme another second cha..dad!!" I yelled back im not to much of a morning person either so morning's have been filled with alotta grunts and uh huh's since I got here.
I came from a small town in Texas called Bonita pretty much all farmland ,a gas station and a café not much to do I which I think is the exact reason I'm here, my mom decided cocaine and amateur baseball players were her thing. She was there one morning and gone the next leaving behind enough money for a weeks worth of food and a bus ticket to Charlie here in Forks Washington. I've been here for 3 days and today's doom's day in my mind. First day of school. You'd think I'd have the fashion thing down, I mean when you watch movies about small town girls they are all dressed to impress. Well not me, I'm used to flip flops t-shirts and jeans…never wore a skirt In my life. This isn't exactly a flip flop time of year here so knock off ugg boots here I come.
"I'm Leaving in 5 Bells! C'mon!!!" Charlie yelled brining me back to life…one more look over and I head down the stairs.
"Ok, ok I'm ready lets go." I say back.. saying I'm ready is a lie. I kind of wonder what they'll say about the new "hick" in town, this should be fun.
"dad do we really have to take the cruiser?" I ask hoping he says no, but knowing the answer.
"bell's honey I have to go straight to work after I drop you off, and I don't have time to come back and switch out cars. Crime don't wait you know" he says with a lil smirk.
I just roll my eyes and ask "what crime dad? This town seems like it just came out of an episode of Andy Griffith" now it's his turn to roll his eyes "we actually do have some stuff going on here in Forks, you be careful who you talk to today I don't want you with the wrong kids bells" he says with a serious look.
Wow ok now I'm curious I think to myself but I'm not going to ask "and bells I wont be home till late so don't worry about supper tonight, but if you could get groceries at some point today I'd appreciate it".
"ya, no problem dad working late?" I ask "no me and Billy are going fishing, and night fishing is the best" he says back with a sparkle in his eyes.. I swear his fishing and baseball are his pride and joy.
"well we're here, if you need anything call the station and have a good day bells" he says I wave as he drives off.. Then turn to face my doom.
The school is small, still larger then my school back In Texas though. Great they're starting to stare already and me standing here having a conversation with myself isn't helping much. I feel my face heat up instantly.
I'm half way through the door when I get stopped my a girl around my height with long sandy blonde hair "hey! I'm Jessica Stanley, you must be Isabella?" she asks. I hate the name Isabella I only got called that when I was I trouble.
"Bella swan ,just Bella.. nice to meet you Jessica what grade are you in?" I ask "11th, I have a twin that's also in 11th, we're not identical though and we cant stand each other, you see that group of kids my the silver Volvo?" she asks "ya" I reply "well the blonde in the barely there skirt is Tanya, apparently I got the classy gene" she say then laughs.
"who are those kids anyways ?" I ask "well you've seen Tanya, the other blonde is Rosalie, big guy with dark curly hair is Emmet the girl with long curly brown hair is Lauren and the guy leaning on her is the infamous Edward. I'd steer clear of all them Bella, nothing but sex drugs and partying" she says completely serious.
"Ya, ya um stay away got it" I mumble back completely entranced by this Edward guy who was looking right back at me with a smug smile, about that time he lifts his hand and flips me the bird ,they all turn around to look and start laughing.
"what the hell?!" I say louder then I met to making Jessica jump "just ignore em Bella" she says with a scowl on her face as she drags me by the arm to the office to get my schedule. Which takes all of 2 seconds.
"I'll see you at lunch Bella I'll introduce you to everyone else" she says as she's walking off and waving.
The day was pretty uneventful after that…. English was my first class and nobody really said anything to me.. second was trig and same as first period uneventful except a short petit girl with spiky black hair kept smiling and waving at me…odd but ok.
Third period was my free class I used it to go check out the library.. when I got there I noticed it had a pretty decent selection.. but I knew what I was here for…Wuthering heights I had my own copy but accidentally left it behind…I'm walking up and down the aisles looking and right as I turn to go down another I see Edward pawing and groping Tanya, Jessica's sister. they both turn and look at me. SHIT! I thought to myself and turn to leave embarrassed that I interrupted.
Suddenly I felt someone grab at my arm but only get my sleeve. "you know, if you wanted to join all you had to do was ask" Edward says with that same smug look.
" uh I uh ya no, gross no thanks I rather like not having warts or seeping sore's on my lips and nether regions" I say back. By his look he must've thought I was going to run off crying or take his offer.. he just stared with a confused look.
"eww Eddie, your actually talking to…it…you need to lay off the "C" a little baby, it's clouding your judgment" she says while hanging all over him and looking at me like I was a plague.
"shut the fuck up Tanya! God you got a big mouth!" he yells at her. She flinches a little then storms off bumping into me on the way knocking me off balance which doesn't take much. As I try n catch myself I feel two strong arms around me and what can only be described as electricity shooting through me.
"don't listen to her.. she's just a bitch" he says with a pained confused look. What the hell is up with this guy.. he seems so confused and confusing. He turns to walk off.
"wait!" I yell after him he turns and looks his green eyes burning into me.. god he's sexy and that hair…oh crap I just told him to wait and now I'm talking to myself again…I felt my face get hot and seen him smirk.. "thank, for um not letting me fall" I say "my names Bella" I tell him as I reach out to shake his hand so I can feel that electric current again. He just looks at my hand with that damned pained look and shoves his hands in his pocket nods at me then walks off.
"good lord he's confusing" I say to no one in particular. And head to the lunch room.
