It was a rainy day in Forks , clouds closing in , making the world a more dull place.
Returning to Forks again , was not something I had planned .
But something I had to do before going to College. I'd been accepted into the University of Florida. My Mom agreed to pay for half of the tuition and I would pay the other half.
After the incident with James , my Mom litereally took me by force to Florida and there I had been . Until now. She finally thought that it would be nice if I would go back to Forks for my last year of High school , to please Charlie and spend some time with him before I would be stuck in Florida permanently for about 3 to 4 years.
Amazingly she BEGGED me to go back. I didn't want to go back. Yes to you I am insane . But no , that isn't the case. It had to do with Edward. I hate him with a passion . We kept emailing and talking on the phone after the James incident . He even brought a webcam and we started IMing each other too ! But a few months later , something changed.. He stopped calling , wouldn't reply to my emails and he was always offline on the IM network.
I later got a letter , a horrible letter , which read ..
Bella.
My love , I have always loved you , you were my life . Until now.
I don't feel that we have a connection anymore , we cannot carry on this relationship. It also doesn't help that you live so far away , it seems you have no intention to move on , well I do . Sorry , but I've met this other girl , she's just moved to Forks from Italy . She is amazing , I love her so . Sorry. Move on. Get a life. Because I have . I'm quite sure there are other boys out there for you. Especially in Florida .
Sincerely
Edward Cullen.
Remembering that letter made tears well up in my eyes. How could he ? IT WAS NOTHING LIKE HIM ! There must have been something going at the time . Or maybe he was being honest . I don't know..
Since that happened , I started making more friends in my high school in Florida , and I started gaining some confidence . I had a few boyfriends as well , but they all ended badly , none of them compared to Edward. I started thinking about all of my friends back in Florida . I missed them so much. They even threw me a Go Away Party or whatever you call them .. Not even my friends in Phoenix or Forks were that appreciative of me ! Wow.
My Mom brought a car for me while I was with her and instead of going on a plane , I used that to get up here . It was cheaper than going on a plane anyways . The car was a little black Toyota Yaris . Cute but effective ! I decided I'd use that to get to School . No one would expect me in that. I hoped that no one would recognize myself either.
Because I was out going for walks with Renee all the time and out with my friends , my hair and skin colour had changed dramatically . My Hair was now a Dark blonde-ish colour and my skin amazingly and finally was able to develop a light , TAN ! Why did it happen in Florida and not in Phoenix ?? Hmmm.. who knows ?
And unlike before I had a more complex fashion taste.
I drove past all of the green forests , but they didn't bother me with their.. alieness . I lived in Florida after all , and there were lots of creepy swamps there. And they were far worse ..
I finally reached the school , shaking . I was nervous , naturally .
I parked , close to the the exit of the parking lot . And got out . Everyone was wearing black and were all in huddles near the Entrance of the school. I looked at their .. faces. All of them looked afraid , and tired. You could see the fear in their eyes . Lots of them were staring at the ground or staring ahead , into nothing..
What the hell was wrong with them ? I tried to get through them to the main office.
Excuse me !
They wouldn't..
Sorry , new student trying to get through here !
Yet again they refused.
MOVEE !
They let me through , slowly . But then someone called my name..
BELLA ?!
I turned round and I was staring into Alice's face with Angela and Mike by her side .
Is it really you Bella ? Or are we all hallucinating again ? No It cant be you .. you're not blonde or tanned , our brains have turned into mush guys.. Damn I wish was it you though..
Alice , it IS me !! See ?
I reached out and touched her face .
She then grabbed my hand and squezzed it and her face lit up like old times .
IT REALLY IS YOU !!!
She then jumped on me and gave me a tight hug , and amazingly Mike and Angela joined in too .
All of their faces lit up.
Bella !
Bella !
Bella !
Everyone started saying my name , trying to get my attention.
But I wanted to ask them something..
Ermm hi . Why are you all like this , what's HAPPENED ?!
They all gasped.
I then heard a chorus of ..
Omg she doesn't know
What are we going to do ?
What will happen to her ?
What is he gonna do about it ?
from different people at different times .
Alice , what's going on ?
Him , that's what's going on
Who ?
Then everyone turned to face the car that had just come into the parking lot. A silver Volvo.
Angela started whispering.
Speak of the devil , and the devil shall appear..
The crowd parted and I was suddenly on show , clearly visible to him .
He then looked straight at me , glared at me and then said something to the person next him. The Italian Girl..
He said something again and shook his head . He looked at me again and his face turned into a mixture of and anger and shock.
I looked closely at his eyes..
They
Were
RED .
Oh My God !
He and his little girlfriend then , got out of the car and started walking straight in my direction..
