Hello people. Since I started classes back I've been playing with this idea for a story. Hope you enjoy. Also, do not assume all chapter will be this long. I have so much more though that I wanted to put in this chapter but need to stop somewhere. Any questions, comments, or concerns let me know. -Blackbird.

"Aria, this will be good for both of us." My aunt Sophie tells be as we drive past the welcoming sign for Forks, Washington. She was born and raised in Forks with her sister, my mother, and her brother. My uncle is the only one who had stayed in Forks. Mom moved to Montana before she had me and my aunt moved to Iowa for college. My aunt decided to move back to her home town after her divorce and agreed to take me with her. I'm moving in with her due to a series of events. Mom felt it would be best for a change for me.

The drive to the house doesn't take long after entering town. It's a lovely blue, two-story house with a drive way. My aunt said it was my grandmothers who passed away two years ago. None of the kids had the heart to sell it so mom and Sophie used it as a place to stay when they came for holiday's.

It's quiet between the two of us as we grab our bags and move inside. I've only been here twice so things are still new to me. The both of us head upstairs and Sophie sets her bags in the first room. She then leads me to the back bedroom.

"I thought you'd like this room. You can see the big tree in the back. I don't know what kind of tree it is, but it is beautiful in the spring and fall. Not much of a back yard but this room over looks it. It was your mom's when we were kids. She drew so many pictures of that tree." That's one of the differences between my mother and me. I can't draw at all.

"Thanks, Sophie. Maybe this will be good." She rubs my back comfortingly.

"Between your room and mine is just a linen closet. Across the hall is a full bath and a spare room that I plan on turning into an office. There's a bathroom downstairs, I'm sure you remember. I'm going to unpack a little then see what my brother picked up for food. Lord knows he doesn't cook." I nod as she leaves. Out of the three of them, she is the more calm and quiet. My mom is the more outgoing and adventurous one. My uncle is the awkward one who is awkward around someone until he gets used to them.

My room is nice. The walls are a light grey, mom's favorite color. I was a semi deep closet that has some shelves. A desk on the wall with the window that faces outback. I also have a full-sized bed that has been made up with red blankets. That's something mom and I have in common, we like space in bed.

After putting my clothes and shoes in the closet, I set up my laptop on the desk. It's old but it lets me check email and do writing assignments. Next, I move my box of books into the closet. I'll have to get a bookshelf for them. I can smell whatever Sophie is cooking and it makes me hungry.

"So, what's for dinner?" I ask as I enter the kitchen. It has plenty of counterspace with a small island.

"He actually picked up a lasagna. I prefer making homemade cooking but hey. You still like lasagna, right?"

"Love it." I take a seat at the island and she sits across from me as we wait for the oven.

"You ready for school tomorrow?"

"No." She rewords.

"Are you prepared for tomorrow?"

"Yeah, my backpack is by my door and I'm going to lay some clothes out tonight. I just don't want to get stared at."

"The 'new shiny toy' affect will wear off in about a week. It's a small town. No one really moves here." I nod as the stove timer went off. "By the way there is an extra bookcase in the spare room. We can move it to your room after dinner."

The drive from the house to school isn't long at all. The parking lot only has about a dozen cars so far. I left early enough to find a place to park and get my schedule. I just haven't left my car yet. All the cars seem to blend well. Not to new and shiny and not too old and beat up. That is except the Volvo that just pulled in. It parks across the lot from me. Almost directly in front of me. Five beautiful people get out and start conversing while glancing at my car. There are a few groups of people also standing around, but those five are the only ones staring at me. No time like the present to go get my schedule. I lock my car and walk towards the office, taking note of the stares, I'm already getting.

"Ms. Heartly, good timing. We're starting a new project today. After I assign it I'll check you out a camera you can use the rest of the year or until you get one yourself, but you don't have to." I'm happy that this school offers photography like my old school. It should be a good way to start the day.

The day drags on. The time difference is bothering me. It's only an hour difference but it is getting to me. It's now lunch and I'm sitting at an empty table in the corner. I was invited by a girl named Angela from my Photography class to sit with her and her friends but I just don't feel social. A few tables away are the beautiful people. The guy with the curly blond hair keeps looking over towards me.

"Jasper Hale is looking at you." I jump a little as Angela sits next to me. "That's the guy with the curly hair. He and all his siblings there are adopted. They moved here last year. Jasper, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward. They don't really socialize with people here."

"Rosalie is in my English class. She acted like I had the plague when we worked in groups."

"Yeah, she typically that way with everyone but Emmett, her boyfriend. Don't talk about that around Lauren though. She thinks it's too weird that they are dating since they are 'siblings'."

"They're adopted, what does it matter."

"Lauren's nice most of the time, she's just bitter Edward turned her down, twice." I laugh at that. "Anyway, not staying, I understand you want to sit alone, just thought you'd like to know who keeps looking at the new girl, well besides everyone. Open invitation to eat lunch with us."

"Thanks Angela." She nods and heads back to her table. I wonder if I have any more classes with the beautiful people.

It turns out I have Jasper in my class after lunch. The class room has two-person tables. There are only two empty seats in the class, both next to someone, one being Jasper. After the teacher signs my paper he looks around the room.

"Go ahead and sit next to Mr. Hale." Jasper and I lock eyes as I walk towards him. I set my book down and sat next to him. He moves away from me a little bit. He looks uncomfortable as he looks straight ahead. Maybe his whole family just doesn't like me.

We spent the whole class not saying a word to each other. He looks at me from time to time. I've also noticed that he is discreetly holding his hand in front of his mouth. To anyone just glancing by it would look like he is resting his head in his hand, but I admit I've sent some glances his way. Once the bell rings and his hand moves I see him freeze for a moment. He seems so much more relaxed and with a small smile. I just continue to ignore him as I grab my book and leave the room. I'm too tired for strangeness right now.

My last class is math. I hate this subject so much. I'm just not a math person. The room only has a few people when I enter. The teacher signs my paper and tells me to sit in the far corner. That seat just so happens to be next to one of the beautiful people, Alice I think. She smiles and waves as I walk towards the single desk.

"I'm Alice." She has the biggest smile.

"Aria."

"How are you liking Forks?" I shrug.

"I have some family here. No one my age though." More people enter the classroom and fill the seats.

"I know we'll be good friends."

"Bold assumption."

"I'm good and knowing things." She smiles like she is hiding something. She is the only one of her siblings to talk to me.

"By the way, let Rosalie know that if she doesn't want to be my partner on class work that I can ask to be seated elsewhere. There are a few other empty seats."

"I'll let her know, but don't let her attitude bother you. She's like that with almost everyone."

"Still. I don't want my existence here to bother anyone. Jasper even seems unhappy I was sitting with him." Our teacher starts the class before she could say anything else to me. She does give me a sad smile.

The moment the bell rings I tell Alice that I was ready to head home to get a nap. She looked like she wanted to start a conversation with me again. That's not a bad thing, I'm just exhausted. I give the paper to the secretary and head for my car. The parking lot still has a fair number of cars, including the Volvo. I just keep my head down and head for my car. I am ready for this Monday to be over.

Once at home, I put my bag next to my desk and stretch out. Sophie's job allows her to work from home but she must go places occasionally. She started her own business as a wedding coordinator or something. Her brother was kind enough to give her a ride since her meeting was in town today. Tomorrow she plans on looking for a second car so we don't have to figure out who gets the car that day. I don't know when she'll be back but I'm napping until then.
