"I really need money dad." I murmur to Charlie as he's dropping me off at school. " Well Bells you're already 15. Legally you can work here in Forks.
School ends this Friday. You can work all summer." I sigh. I'm too lazy for that.. " But dad.." "Well see if we can get you something down at the prison.
like a lunch lady or something." he smiles at me and I just nod. I should earn my own money. Start being independent. I instantly perk up. Working
cant be that hard.
I instantly spot my dads police cruiser after school. I slid in and he's grinning ear to ear. "Well I got you a job!" practically shouting. " What do I have
to do?" I'm curious as to what I'll be wasting my summer on. " You're going to be doing various tasks. You are going to do whatever your supervisor,
Ana, tells you." his smile just makes me smile back. I'm clumsy, uncoordinated, and prone to accidents. I hope she doesnt expect much.
The week flew by. I'm pretty much a loner except for Jessica and Alice usually inviting me to the movies. I throw myself into my work. School isn't moody or get jealous of other girls like they are.
Friday came and went quickly. My routine consists of waking up,school,homework, sleep. I said my murmured goodbyes. Even though they made plans
of meeting at the beach upcoming Wednesday and are making me go. I told them I start work Monday, but they're wrapped up in their conversation
of hot tan guys and summer nights. "Were officially sophomores!" they both yell in unison as were leaving the school. I'm just following their shadows
behind them. They hug me tightly when they see my dad waiting for me at the corner of the school. " I'll text you Bells!" Jessica smiles broadly and I
wonder why she's even my friend. She's so bright and cheery. She dresses in the latest fashion, skillfully styling her hair. While I wear tight jeans and
an oversized navy sweater. Either putting my tangly brown hair in a ponytail
or just letting it go its own direction. Angela hugs me and I smile at her. " See you Wednesday !" they yell at me as they're walking towards Angelas
house.
I spend Saturday eating and watching movies all day. I sobbed at The Notebook and laughed at Pineapple Express. Charlie worked late shifts and the
house was eerily quiet when the television was off. I spend Sunday alone. I get four texts from Angela. I ignore them and eat a whole bag of cheetos
and a gallon of juice. My laptop dead and I'm too lazy to charge it. The television hums with the latest news of Forks, Washington. How productive am
I? I eye my uniform on the table. Beige pants and a white blouse. An ID with my photo. Isabella Swan-Aid. I wonder what I'll be helping with. I glance
at the clock in the kitchen before heading up to my room. 12:30a.m
"Have a wonderful first day Bella!" my dad drops me in front of the large grey prison just outside of Forks. It was a good hour and a half ride here. I'm
sleepy as ever. I grudgingly walk up towards the front gates. The whole premises is surrounded by tall chain link fences and barbed wire. I open the
glass door. " Hello, Welcome to Washington State Prison. How may I be of assistance?" a beaming blond sat at the desk. " Yeah today's my first day.
Do you know where Ana is?" She glances at the clock. 9:10. " She hates lateness. Hurry hurry she's in room 320. Down the hall." she says kindly
pointing left. I pass the metal detectors without a beep. I don't have anything metal on.
I open the door loudly. I expect just to see her waiting for me but she's not alone. Shes with a guy in an orange suit. His hands are chained. Two
officers are standing beside him and they all gape at me. But I cant take my eyes off him. The guy. His messy brown copper toned hair and green eyes
captivate me. Instantly I feel drawn to looks me up and down. I feel the wetness between my thighs. I've never felt like this. He smirks. My
blush deepens. I swear he can hear my thoughts. " Well Edward we can talk about this tomorrow. Such as if you will be tried as an adult or not in the
court." Edward broke eye contact. " Okay Ana." I hear his smooth voice say her name. I envy Ana. She knows him. They know each other. Jealousy
boils inside me and I barely know this guy. He gets up and the guards grab his arms. I move aside from the door. Looking straight at the floor. " Hey."
he whispers and I look up. He's staring straight at smiles softly and then the officers shove him through the door roughly. "Well you sure know
how to tell time." Ana says sarcastically. " I told your father 9 a.m sharp.." she continues talking but all I can think about is Edward. The electricity
between us and how he made me unravel every feeling in less than 5 minutes.
