another story; yay. maybe i'll be able to finish this one?

i don't own twilight.

My headache worsened as I jumped out of bed, rushing to my dresser. Drawers were open, clothes spewing out like it had just been searched for drugs. I laughed lightly as I picked up one of my several black v-necks. Sniffing, I brought it up to my nose, making sure it was clean and held no residue of the earthy metallic smell. The shirt I was holding smelled of laundry detergent and vanilla. It was clean. Quickly I threw it on then repeated the same procedure with a pair of black skinny jeans. I ran a brush through my hair and bangs while slipping on a pair of boots. Who says I can't multitask? While slipping on a couple of bracelets and necklaces, I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, then applied my usual makeup. I looked over at the clock; shit, I was running ten minutes late. I stumbled down the stairs, grabbed my bag and keys, hopped in my old beat up car, and then sped to school.

This chaotic morning, was my usual morning. I never woke up on time, I never had enough time to eat breakfast, and I never showed up to school on time. Hell, half the time I didn't even go. It wasn't that I was stupid or lazy. I had pretty good grades despite my lack of showing up, I stayed on honor roll. I just thought the idea of school was stupid. Why not just let us all take the GED and get it over with? I had planned to do that but my father decided to force me to have the full 'high school experience'. Screw him.

"Well, Ms. Jenner, nice of you to show up," My cocky ass homeroom math teacher, Mr. Abey glared at me as I made my way to my seat.

I rolled my eyes, throwing a smirk on my face, "You know how much I love this place, Michael." It always pissed him off when I called him by his first name.

He of course ignored me and went on about his lecture. The students that were staring at me eventually turned away to focus on him, the losers. I barely talked to anyone at school. There was Brian but you could barely call him a friend, more like an acquaintance. I was pretty proud of myself. Only two weeks here and I managed to piss off all my teachers, get sent to the principals office four times, be late every class, and get it into everyone's heads that I don't want any friends.

I had moved here two weeks ago when my father got offered a job near here. I don't know where, there was nothing near La Push, Washington. It was forest for miles and miles. Of course, I didn't want to go. I couldn't move and leave all my friends – yes, I did have friends back home – and everything behind. I just couldn't. My dad practically had to drag me by my feet to the car and handcuff me to the seat. I haven't said a full sentence to him since then.

I wasn't like this back home. I mean, I've always dressed in mostly black and been a sarcastic smart ass but I never disrespected my elders and other people unless I didn't know them or if I didn't care. I had a ton of friends who I loved and I welcomed more. But now, my nice side had retreated deep inside me and the cynical, sadistic side showed fully.

"Aria," My head snapped up from my book where I sat at my own table in the corner of the cafeteria. A familiar long black haired russet skinned boy stood in front of me, frowning. It was Brian. I stuck my book mark in the page of my book and closed it with a small thud. I waited for him to go on about what he wanted, "You left this in seventh period yesterday." He dropped a small black makeup bag in front of me. My eyes widened and I snatched it, stuffing it into my purse. "I know your new and everything but you need to be more careful. This is a small town, people are nosy as shit."

"I know it was a mistake," My eyes narrowed at him. Brian was really the only person I wasn't very mean to. I was scared that if I said the wrong thing to him, he might ice me out or turn me in. Of course he couldn't turn me in without getting himself caught.

"Are we still on today at four?" I nodded, "Alright see you later." I watched him leave before looking in my bag. I zipped open the black makeup bag and dug into the bottom. There was a small round glass tube and the little baggie of green. I noticed there were two more bags off to the side. Brian was way too nice for his own good. I would have to repay him somehow.

Brian was the only person who hadn't talked to me when I first moved to La Push, beside a bunch of these other 'gangsters' as Brian called them – they weren't gangsters, maybe just some bad kids who did sketchy things but hell not gangsters. La Push doesn't know the meaning of the word. He told me he was considered a loner or creep because he didn't hang out with anyone either. I had met him while walking down my street in the late night. He was headed towards a river deep in the forest. He also like taking walks in the woods at random times of the day, people also think he's creepy for that. Brian calls them his 'mini escapades'. He actually got me to laugh at that. I've been joining him to a couple for the past weeks and I've gone off on my own a couple times.

Brian had found this log that had fallen over a couple of tree stumps and boulders that was hidden pretty well; it was the perfect place to sit. He had also put up a rope swing just for the hell of it. It made me with to have a place of my own like that where no one else but me knew about – Brian can get annoying sometimes. A place away from my place to get away, I guess you could put it that way.

I took the keys out of the ignition as I parked in my driveway, cutting off the loud rock music and threw them in the back. I grabbed my bag and walked down the road to the cul-de-sac where the entrance to the forest was. I had the path to the spot memorized in two days. I knew it so well; I could walk there with my eyes closed.

I heard the soft sound of water and knew I was close. I made a sharp turn and saw the log. There was some music playing from a battery powered stereo and a bag of food lying on the ground. Sitting on top of the log was Brian, a large dazed grin plastered on his face. I laughed quietly knowing that he was high as fuck.

i hope you liked it. please let me know your thoughts aka review. i'll try and post soon.
