Chapter 1: Life Sucks.

I slam my bag on the kitchen table.

"I hate you so much Dad! Why are you doing this to me?!"

My dad shuts the front door and follows me into the kitchen.

"Isabella you are grounded! No more cell phone, no more laptop and definitely no more road trip you planned for the summer with Jessica! You can forget that one!" My dad chided.

"NO! It wasn't my fault that the principal expelled me for a month! Mike bought the alcohol to school, I had nothing to do with it! You can't cancel my trip we planned for after graduation!" I whined.

Charlie sighed. "Well by the looks of things are going Bella, there won't be a graduation. I don't understand what has happened to you. You were a good girl at one point. And now look, your grades are slipping, you get into trouble and you're out every night hanging with those troublesome kids at the diner! Why?"

"Dad just go away! You have ruined my whole summer!"

"Bella don't shout at me! You still live under my roof remember, and you will follow my rules! And you should have thought about that before you were caught drinking on school property! You will have a lovely summer break helping out at the shelter the whole month!" Charlie scolded.

I didn't have a chance to hear anymore of his grumbling as I trudged up the stairs towards my room and slammed my bedroom door.

I can't believe my father! I'm eighteen years of age and he still yells at me like I'm six. Okay, so I'm not a perfect angel but I did not drink at school. It was stupid Mike Newton, one of my so-called friends who always acts like a douche. He bought some vodka into school to impress us, but honestly, it was revolting. He has an obvious crush on me, since the third grade and always tries to catch my attention by doing stupid, lame things. Ugh! Now it's his fault I'm in this mess!

I had everything planned. This summer break was going to be awesome. Jessica, my best friend, and I had planned right after graduation to go on a month long road trip. Since I have never left my home town Forks, we decided it would be great to just drive into the open, ending up anywhere and not caring. Okay so we hadn't mapped out a route yet but we were just going to play it by ear. Anyway, isn't that more fun?

But no. After today's fiasco it seems as if I will never leave this lame dump of a town. Mr. Greene had immediately dragged me into his office as he saw me with the bottle of vodka, after I tried to grab it off Mike and quickly chuck it before we got caught. But life always kicks you in the ass. Principal Greene caught us, sent me to his office, and called my father which makes life a million times worse as he's the Chief of Police. Great. So after an hour of yelling and telling off, I have been expelled for a month and in three weeks time, volunteer at the local homeless shelter for a whole month to, what they said, "help me become a better person." Yeah right.

So that is why I am currently sulking on my bed. No life for me. Good job Bella.
