Authors note

okay. I have officially edited this chapter to make it better!! i seemed to be losing alot of people on the first and second chapters (i do believe those were my worst anyway) i can't promis that this is anywhere near the level i wish it could be, but i hope its a tad better. These first couple of chapters are just fillers. I thought i should start my book where Twilight had started. maybe it was a mistake because my plot doesn't really kick in for a while. w/e the first couple chapters give you a nice look at my Bella. So please, even if you don't like the first couple of chapters, try and push through to the good stuff!!

Nothing

I glanced around as I stepped off the plane. I knew I had made a mistake right away. I tripped and slid down the last few steps on my butt. Charlie came forward and offered me a hand up. I was afraid that I would take him down with me, but decided I needed all the help I could get. I bent to pick up my luggage, but Charlie took them out of my hands when I was properly upright.

"You've had a long trip, let me carry these to the cruiser for you. I'm so happy you're staying with me Bella. I've missed you so much." The drive was relatively quiet, after the formalities were through. I didn't really mind. Quiet was my style. Neither Charlie, nor I were what you would call chatterboxes. I hoped this wouldn't be as awkward a stay as I was imagining.

I knew it wasn't just me he had missed right when I stepped into my new/old home. The pictures of my "family" were all on one wall. They were mainly of me and I blushed at the sight of them. I didn't like any of my school pictures. I never like my pictures period.

Charlie was about to take my luggage, well my one bag really, up the stairs, but I took them from him. "It really hasn't been that long Char-Dad. I remember where my room is. I don't want to cause you any trouble with me staying here." I started walking up the stairs and managed to put my bag down when Charlie came in. "Bella I've already enrolled you in the local high school and you should know that you could never cause me trouble by staying here. It will be nice to have you around more. School starts tomorrow."

"thanks Dad," I attempted a smile for his sake, "I'm sure I'll do fine in Forks and don't worry about giving me a ride to school tomorrow. I need to take a good long walk after all that time on the plane." Charlie smiled down at me. "Actually Bells, I got you a surprise!"

He seemed nervous and excited at the same time. Personally, I was just nervous. I hated surprises. I followed Charlie downstairs and outside. I really hoped I wasn't about to find a mini police cruiser waiting for me outside. To my surprise it was actually this really neat truck. It was orange with a bulbous hood and looked almost ancient. I didn't need to fake my smile this time. Now I didn't need to get as wet before school. I went to bed that night not looking forward to the day ahead.

I woke up with the alarm clock buzzing next to my head. Stupid, buzzing alarm. I would need to get one of those radio ones or something. Waking up to that buzz just made my outlook for the day sink from a 0 to a -10.

I got ready fairly quickly and tripped three times on my way down the stairs. I nearly broke my record. I grabbed a bowl of cereal and stuffed it down my throat. I wasn't particularly fond of corn flakes, but they did the job.

I slipped on my way to the truck. Wet roads were going to be problems for a danger hazard like me. There was going to be a permanent black and blue mark on my bum before I got out of this town. I hopped into the truck and gave a little jump when the engine roared to life. It was a lot louder than I had been expecting. I reached down and turned the knobs on the radio. It still worked. The truck didn't smell bad and was nice and clean. My spirits lifted a little, but I was getting extremely nervous as I drew closer to school.

Maybe I should have spent more time on my outfit or something? I wasn't used to this sort of thing. In Phoenix I had always been in the background, but in a town as small as Forks. I was sure that there were plenty of rumors about Isabella Swan, daughter of the chief of police. I was right.

The secretary in the office started staring at me as soon as I told her my name. my first couple of classes were no better. I found myself blushing all the time. Mainly because I kept tripping. I hated being the center of attention. I was on my way to lunch being led by a very peppy girl who I had in a few of my classes. (A/N: sry for the vagueness. My Twilight book is on lease to a friend and I use my ability to retain info mainly for school so I don't have to study :-D). We sat at a rather overcrowded and noisy table.

I was uncomfortable right away. Jessica, the peppy girl, was very happy with the attention she was getting. I figured I should start trying to pay attention to what people where saying to me. This had been a very different greeting than I had expected. I pondered the situation.

How could I be so accepted here? It was a mystery to me. I had been a nothing at my old school. This school had seemed like nothing like a big worry to me before, but now it felt almost nice to be accepted, except for the giant spotlight that seemed to be following me. Maybe in a school considered to be nothing by a nothing herself, made me something here? I gave up on this convoluted stream of thought. It was an impossible and stupid theory. It had to be something else.

I looked around the cafeteria trying to figure out how many eyes I could catch staring at my table. That's when I spotted them, the intensely gorgeous group of teens over in the far corner. The four of them were inhumanly beautiful and they took my breathe away by just looking at them.

Ooooooh who's missing???? If you haven't noticed yet I wrote that there were four when there are supposed to be five!!! I am so evil!!! Not many updates, but look! There are paragraphs now!!! oOoOoO I'm gonna leave the second chap. the same, but if you think i should spice it up a bit then let me know!!
