Polar Opposites
Hi everyone this is technically my second story ever on FanFiction but I had lost interest in my first one and deleted it. I'm definitely still the best writer around but I did the best I could with this one. I feel like I'm probably going to move it a bit fast with most parts because my main focus is going to be with my OC Alexis and Jacob so I apologize for that and I'm mostly going to follow along with the storyline but on Lexi's side rather than the original on Bella's and I'm going to add her own dialog and change just few tiiiny little details in the story. Other than that I hope you enjoy and please no hard criticism, I do so much better with helpful pointers rather than insults. Oh! And I'd be more than happy to take any suggestions for new things in the story like date ideas or sudden vacations between Jacob and my OC just to make the story last a bit longer than it probably will if I completely follow along with the original. Thanks everyone and let me know what you think!
.Moving to Forks, Washington hadn't really bothered me too much, it was the undeniable truth that I would have to see Bella Swan almost everyday from now on that put me in a foul mood. My family just moved to Forks from Bakersfield, California. No, I don't know Beyonce, I've never meet Johnny Depp and I don't see Selena Gomez chilling on the beach everyday, not that part of California. Bakersfield is were the farming industries and oil companies are. Where you would see horses, cows, and kit foxes 1,000 times easier than actually seeing a celebrity up close unless at a concert. It was sad but at the same time, really nice to move from a town populated enough to be labeled a city with 363,630 people to a small town with 3,120 people. The only thing about this move that upsets me is that I no longer get to see my best friend, Cami, everyday. She and I did everything together since we became friends back in middle school. We tried not to be too sad about it and promised to call each other every day when given the chance.
I have a pretty big family that consisted of my father, a police officer named Doug Williams, my mother, a police sketch artist named Regina, my older twenty year old brother named Colt, my younger sixteen year old brother Evan, younger sister Mia, my nine year old fraternal twins siblings Adam and Honesty, and my three year old baby sister Jenna. I am Alexis Williams and I am seventeen years old. Colt, Evan, and I are actually siblings while Mia, the twins and Jenna are adopted but that means nothing to us, we all love each other like brothers and father had dark blonde hair with blue eyes while my mom and Colt had light brown hair and brown eyes. I had natural dark brown hair that was hereditary in my moms family but underneath my dark hair I had it dyed all the colors of the rainbow, so no one can see it unless its windy or I put my hair up and I also got lucky had got blue eyes like my dad. Mia had brown hair with natural light brown highlights and brown eyes. And the twins and Jenna had blonde hair though the twins hair was beach blonde and Jenna's was strawberry blonde. Also the twins had green eyes while Jenna had brown.
The reason we moved to Forks is because my parents were tired of how crowded Bakersfield is and how disrespectful a lot of people are becoming. So they decided to move and while looking for places, their friend Charlie suggested we move there and we had no other ideas so here we are. My parents used to live in Forks and had been childhood friends of Charlies back when they were all younger so it made sense that they would want to reconnect their friendship. My siblings all had friends back in Bakersfield and felt the same as Cami and I did but at least we have each other.
We live in a one story 4 bedroom house with a guest house in the back yard near Charlie's place. I got my own room on the left side of the house with my own bathroom (That I'll occasionally share with Mia and Honesty) while the boys and girls get separate. respective rooms conjoined with a bathroom in between them. Evan and Adam share and room and so do Mia and Honesty. Jenna sleeps in our parents room because Mia and Honesty complained about having to share with three people and Colt gets to have his own space in the guest house in our backyard. Its a little bit of a small set up for such a big family but we don't mind it at all.
We've lived here for about two weeks before we heard the news that Bella was going to move in with Charlie for the remainder of high school. I was not a happy camper when I found out that not only would I have to see her at Charlie's but most likely at school too. Well, I'm not helping her around. Not that she'd ask me for help anyway. See when we were younger we tried to be friends but she was too shy and awkward for me and I was probably too much for her to handle so we went our separate ways.
My family had just walked up to Charlie's house after he had gotten home with Bella when Jacob and his father pulled up in a big orange truck that was meant to be a welcoming present for her. Jacob and I smiled and waved at each other while we waited for Charlie to come out. I had thought Jacob was a very cute guy and even though he was two years younger than me, when we first met after I moved out here I thought I'd totally date him after getting to know him more. But all for that changed when Bella walked out after Charlie and Jacob became a lovesick puppy. Totally not my type.
"So what do you think?" Charlie asked his daughter to which her reply was a question directed at his question, "What?" Oh Charlie, you've got to give more detail than that.
"Your Homecoming present. He told her leaning against the monster sized truck. THERE you go Charlie. I thought as I laughed in my head.
Bella caught on to what he was implying with surprise. "This?" she asked, pointing to the truck. Then Charlie, Billy and Jacob took turns talking to her about the truck as my family and I stood back and watched the exchange with smiles and bored looks (the twins and I). She sounded unenthusiastic but I knew her well enough to know that was actually her being excited. And while I was silently belittling her in my head, I watched as she opened the door and nailed Jacob in the side while he tried to get the the passenger door and tried not to laugh out loud at their awkwardness.
While they were preoccupied with the truck my family moved in to the conversation Charlie and Billy were having. "Told you she'd love it." came Billy, "I'm down with the kids." And Charlie's response was hysterical. "Oh yeah dude, you da bomb." Causing my siblings and I to laugh. When Bella and Jacob got out of the truck she looked at Evan and I with slight fear. I think she just figured out she'll be stuck with me in high school. I thought happily to myself, I might not be happy about it either but at least I can enjoy her unhappiness.
The next day all our fellow students stared as I drove into the school parking lot with Evan in my blue 2004 Mustang. They've gotten a bit used to it now but its still annoying to see them stare. Yeah, so what if we have quite a bit of money? It's not like we go around flaunting it, our cars being the exception. So I usually ignore all the people that drool on my car whenever they see it. After I pulled up Evan said bye to me and headed inside to find his friends.
Getting out of my car after checking my reflection and I heard Bella's truck pull in and watched as she awkwardly got out before going inside the school myself and looking for Jessica, a girl I had become fast friends with after just moving here. She wasn't the greatest girl in the world but she was definitely better than some at this school. I thought her friend Angela was a pretty cute girl too. I didn't really fit in yeah but it was ok with me as long as I wasn't alone all throughout high school.
During lunch Jess and I sat at a table that was already occupied by Angela and her crush Ben, when Mike dragged Bella over to the table to sit with us. Bella and I glance at each other before deciding not to talk to each other or mention that we already knew each other. As soon as she sat down the boys made a small commotion about her that reminded me of children fighting over a new toy that they didn't want to share. "Oh my God, ha. It's like first grade all over again and you're the shiny new toy." Jess said to Bella. I smiled at the similarities of our thoughts even though mine was in annoyance and her was in jealousy. "Smile." said Angie as she took a picture of Bella for the newspaper. And then proceeded to explain to Bella what it was for when Ben decided to be a douche. "The feature is dead Angela, don't bring it up again. I got your back baby." he said afterwards to Bella. I got a bit angry and spoke up to him. "Why don't you be less of a douche about it huh Ben?" I said glaring at him before turning back to my food and ignoring the looks and stares I got from everyone at the table until Angie broke the silence.
I didn't really pay attention as they started a conversation until it shifted to Bella's curiosity about the Cullen family. I listened as Jess explained who they were and gave her own judgmental observations about them. As she described the Alice girl I couldn't help but think I loved her style of clothes. And so what if she's weird? Weird people are the best! I myself am a little weird. When Jess put in her comment about the Edward guy I could help but laugh a little and as she looked at me with a slightly upset face I smiled and said, "Took a shot at him did you?" Angela giggled a little and Jess went back to her explanations. After the conversation stopped I saw Bella staring over her shoulder at Edward and I thought to myself, "Why not just go talk to him and introduce yourself rather than stare like a crazy person?" I looked over at the Cullen siblings table and saw him smile a little to himself like he had somehow hear what I had said. As Bella continued to stare I got a bit annoyed and decided to try and make other friends, maybe give the Cullens a shot. So I stood up and walked over to their table and as I got closer everyone's eyes in the cafeteria were on me and them.
They were all watching me as I walked up with a smile. "Hi, my name is Alexis Williams, I just moved here from California about two weeks ago and decided to introduce myself." Still smiling I stood there and waited for someone to say something until the girl named Alice stood up and shook my hand smiling at me. "I'm Alice Cullen." and she continued by introducing me to the rest of her family and offer to have me sit while them the remainder of lunch. They were a nice group of people, all except Rosalie. The girl watched me as if I would attack her at any moment but I paid her no mind which probably didn't help in making her like me but oh well. Alice and Emmett were my favorite of the siblings so far. Edward and Jasper were nice enough to talk to but I mostly stuck with conversing with Alice while replying to any comments Emmett made. When lunch was over and I walked back to the table I originally sat at to grab my backpack, I looked at Jess and Bella with a playful smirk on my face and said, "And that's how you do that." before walking to class.
So far as the day had gone by I haven't had any classes with Bella and I was definitely glad for it. Though as I waved and smiled at Edward who was already there as I walked to my seat and sat down in the back of Mr. Banner's Biology class, Bella and Mike happened to walk in and my mood dampened just a bit. Though I thoroughly enjoyed watching Bella and Edward interact as she sat down next to him. Luckily Biology was my last class so after waiting for Evan to get to the car, I told him about what happened between Bella and Edward and he laughed just as much as I did before telling me that mom texted him and wanted us to grab a few things from the store for dinner before heading home. The next few days went by and Bella decided to separate herself from the group for whatever reason and everyone went about their day at school like she wasn't being weird. A few times I see the Cullen family, minus Edward, around school and I wave to them as we passed each other. Edward had been gone for about a week but I thought nothing of it, it wasn't my business. But things got interesting the day he came back. In Biology, he initiated conversation with Bella and they talked the entire class. Once or twice I even heard my name, I guess she's not going to keep our failed friendship from everyone. Secretly I was kind of glad she was finally opening up to SOMEONE other than her mother.
After class I was standing by my car waiting for Evan to come out when Tyler, a guy hung out with Mike's group, came speeding through the icy parking lot like an idiot and almost hit Bella. I was so scared for her, for Charlie! As I ran over to her I noticed that the van hadn't crushed her and that Edward was there with her. He must of somehow pulled her out of harms way! Silently I thanked him in my head as I crouched down with her asking her if she was ok. Obviously she was in shock so I didn't get any kind of reply so as awkward as it was I put my left arm around Bella as comfortingly as I could while I called her dad and then mine to let them know what happened. After all was said and done Evan ran up asking what happened but I told him to be quiet and get in the car. Sensing the severity of the situation he did as I asked while I forced Bella into my car and we drove to the hospital were she was going to get checked out and we wait for our parents to get there.
It was weird being in the room with Bella but Charlie had asked me to stay with her until he got there so the three of us just sat around awkwardly as we waited both for Charlie and for the doctor. After all of that Bella, Evan and I headed to stand by Charlie's cruiser while he paid the hospital bill when we saw Edward and Rosalie standing with Bella's doctor. Bella called him over and asked Evan and I to wait for her by the car but I said no because I wanted to thank him for being there when he was and saving her life. When he came over and after I thanked him, which all he did was glance at me and nod before turning to Bella and listen to her spout crap about him being able to stop the car with his bare hands. And while Edward didn't have to be a dick about it, Bella definitely had an imagination as she told us what she had seen at that time. After Edward walked away and we headed to the cruiser to wait with my brother, she asked if I believed her. In my head I was thinking she probably did hit her head like Edward said but I didn't want to shove her away after we just started talking again so all I said was, "It is possible to gain inhuman strength when faced with a dire situation. It's been done countless times by regular people." And with that we stayed quiet until Charlie met up with us and told us that my family was having dinner at his tonight. It was a get together for our parents but it was also for Charlie to have me stay over and make sure she doesn't have a concussion without Bella knowing that that's why dinner had been planned with all of us.
That night Charlie had conveniently offered to have all of my siblings stay the night and hang out with him and so he can get to know the twins better because he had never met them since before we moved to Forks while my parents, Jenna and Colt went home. The boys slept in the living room while the girls slept in Bella's room. Mia, Honesty and I slept on the ground by her bed and during the night she had woken me up by turning on the light. "What's up?" I asked her in a tired voice. She answered with her weird nasally noise thing and told me it was nothing before turning the light back off and laying down again. Oook then. I closed my eyes and went right back to sleep not really wanting to bother anyway.
