I couldn't believe it. We were moving -me and my mom- just after the funurel. It hadn't gotten better. SO my mom thought we should move. See, my dad and brother died in a car accident -and I was really close with them. Afterward I was really distant with everyone I knew. So we moved, form the small town of Athens, Illinois to the even smaller town of Forks Washington.
"Elizabeth," my mom called. "Elizabeth, wake up. Were here honey." I had fallen asleep in the car, from the airport, and we were facing a small two -story house. "What do you think, Liz?" my mom asked.
"Well it's different thats for sure." I replied. She was happy and so that made me happy - not really.
We just got the last box packed -my box of music books for my piano, CDs, basically anything muscial- and put it by the piano. Just then, there was a knock on the door. A man about 5'7" was standing there -which I reconize was the cheif of police. He was not thin but not chunky either.
"Welcome to Forks," he said. "I have a girl about your age. Her name is Bella, you'll mee ther at school tomarrow. Is your mother home?" It kind of shocked me. He was babaling on and on until my mom came to the door.
"Why, hellow chief Swan," she said. "Liz, this is chief Swan. He has a daughter about your age, you'll meet her tomarrow at school." Omg. Did he not just say that? While he and my mom talked in the kitchen, I stayed in the living room and started to play "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic -my favorite movie of all times -just for something to do.
After awhile, when my mom and cheif Swan -bythe way, he does have a first name, it's Charile. He came over to me and said, "Thats beautiful, you play so well."
"Thanks," I muttered and we said good buy to him, but then I just relized my red 2001 douge truck was sitting in the driveway. I ran out to get the keys.
The people from the airport must have dropped it off. I went inside and found dinner ready on the table. Mom must have been perparing it while she was talking to cheif Swan. We ate in silence. When I clearded the table, I told her I was tired and was going to bed.
"Ok," was her only repley and with that I went to my room, went to my own personal bathroom, took a shower, got ready for bed, and brushed my teeth. I climbed into bed, not really tired and thought about the next day.
I didn't sleep at all lat night. I looked at the clock on my night stand id said 6:45. School didn't start until 8:15 so I had plenty of time. I couldn't sleep so I got dressed. I put on my blue knit sweater, a pair of jeans and my sneakers. My hair -brown with faded red and blond highlights- was long and tangled. I comb through it and pulled it back out of my face. By the time I had my make-up on and everything, it was 7:15. I went downstairs and there on the top of the table was a note from my mom:
"Dear Liz,
Sorry I couldn't show you were the school is. My new job starts at 7:00 sharp. Charlie -cheif Swan- said Bella would pick you up arounld 7:45. I won't get homw until late. Like arounld 6, ok? Love you lots!
-mom".
"well great!" I said to myself. "Some person who thinks she is better then everyone eles is going to befriend me." I ate a bowl of cearel, and went upstairs to brush my teeth. After what seemed like forever there was a knock on the door.
"Hi!" A girl with brown hair and eyes said with a smile. "I'm Bella Swan,you must be Elizabeth Parker?" She asked.
Duh. "Yes, I am. Nice to meet you. Should we go to school now?" I asked.
"Yes, lets get going," she said. I went to my truck -at first I counldn't tell them apart- her truck was sitting right next beside mine. It was a 1953 Chevey, since I like old antique things I was awestruck. I followed her in my own truck.
Thw school, actually, was not that hard to find. I parked my truck in front of the main office, said "bye" to Bella, and went inside.
"Can I help you, dear," a woman, sitting at a desk, sked me.
"Yes, I'm new here, and I need my schedual," Isaid.
"Oh, Yes, you must be Elizabeth Parker. I have your schedual right here." She handed me my schedual, a map to the school, and a slip for my teachers to sign. I went to a building with a number 5 on it for English. It was your typical high school, 11th grade Engligh class. I gave the slip to my teacher to have signed. He gave me the reading list and went to find me a book. The reading list included "Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, A mid summers night's dream" blah, blah, all writen by Shakespeare and I read them all. I practically had "Romeo and Juliet" merizded.
"You can go sit by Miss. Stanley," he said pointing to a girl with dark blond hair. I went to sit down.
"Oh hi! I'm Jessica Stanley, you must be Elizabeth,"she said. Oh great another prep. But like before I wanted to make new friends so I smiled and said "yes, nice to meet you."
First, and Second hour went by slowly. By Thrid hour I knew pretty much everyone in all my classes. Bella was in my English and Geomertry classes, along with Jessica and a shy girl name Anglea. When I sat down for Geomertry, a geeky looking boy came up to me. He said his name was Mike Newton or Newmen or something like that, but luckly the teacher Mrs. Priva called attention to the class. At the end of the hour, I picked up my bag and went to the lunch room. I wasn't very hungery so I got a coke and a slice of pizza. I sat with Bella, Jessica, Anglea, and Mike and was introduced to a couple of other kids who I reconized was in some of my other classes: Laren -another stuck up person, and two boys name Ben and Tyler. They were all talking at the same time. I counldn't understand a word they were saying. I really wasn't lisening anyway. One boy -and I'm guessing his family- caught my attention. Jessica caught me staring at him. "Thats Edward cullen, and his family, but forget it. He doesn't date. Well unless you count Bella."
"Shut it," Bella said through gritted teeth. "You know I love Jacob," then she turned to me, "Jacob lives down in La Plush. And as for 'Edward Cullen'," -she said his name with discust- "He is SO NOT your type." I looked away again while everyone was still going on about what they were talking about. As if Edward Cullen were never brought up. HE was to gorges with his honey colored eyes, and reddish honey hair. Just then the bell rang and I went to Biology. On the way there I was talking to Bella and ask why she and Edward broke up.
"He was a jurk, liked another woman." She said. "I don't know what I saw in him. I am still so mad at him. I ask Mr. Varner -our Biology teacher- if I couldtrade seats- whoops looks like your going to have to sit with him now." She went into the room laughing. She was right, -which it was- and it was two to a desk- which it was -then...then what?
I took a deep breath and walked inside.
