The New Guy:
Chapter 1: Moving to Seattle
Summery: Edward is a nerd, BUT when his father get a promotion and moves them from Forks to Seattle, Edward wants to start new. A new life, with friends, parties, a girl and no glasses and less books. Edward is The New Guy. AH, OOC, ExB AxJ RxEm. Partialy based on the movie The New Guy, not exactly the same though, just of the story line used.
Edward POV
Today was Friday the 20th of June 2009, today was my birthday, my 17th birthday.
Hi, I'm Edward Cullen. I'm 17, finally. I Live in Forks Washington with my Dad, Carlisle and my Mum, Esme. I go to Forks high, I'm a junior. I like reading and classical music (mostly because I've never really heard much other music then that, it's what mum likes and what dad likes), I also play the piano, I wear glasses and I style my hair in a comb-over.
I know what you're thinking, this guy is so lame. It's pretty true, I don't really have any friends, I spend most of my time reading, studding, playing piano or hanging out with my Mum while dad's at work. I've never been to a high school party in my life, I've never had a girlfriend and I've never been drunk and yes, I'm a virgin.
I don't really like being like this, but this is really the only way I know how to live.

"Edward, sweetie, are you ready for school yet, its 8:15" My mum called up the stairs. I was just laying on my bed, ready for school in a pair of long khakis, a white long sleeved button up shirt with a black and white checkered sweater vest over the top with a pair of black and white Vans. (A/N Outfit on profile) Just thinking how lame my life is.
"Yer, I'm coming" I yelled back, I sat up and flung my legs over the bed, my elbows on my knee's my chin resting in my hands, staring out my window for a minute trying to get the courage to get up off of my bed and go to a school, where all of the other students either didn't talk to me, or ridiculed my 24/7.
I hoped off of my bed, picked up my school bag and went downstairs; my mum was waiting there, with a massive grin on her face.
"What are you so happy about, I'm coming back. No need to be so happy I'm leaving" I joked. She loved me no matter how I lived my life and I loved her just as much.
Dad showed up behind her hiding something behind his back.
"We got you a present" Mum said, her smile stretching further across her face, if that were even possible. Present?
"Oh, right birthday" I said.
"C'mon sweetie, your 17 now. Be happy" Mum said.
"I am happy" I said.
"Ok, well how about we give him his present and see if that makes him happy" Dad said.
"Ok" Mum said to dad with that massive smile still plastered on her face.
Dad pulled out the thing he was hiding behind his back. It was a small, flat silver box with a black ribbon wrapped around it. He handed it to me.
"Thank you" I said taking it from him. I opened the lid to reveille what looked like keys, but with no key, a key fob? I picked it up and saw the 'Aston Martin' logo on the end.
"Nah uh" I said in disbelief. This was not the key to an Aston Martin.
"Yah huh" Mum said. She grabbed my arm and pulled me out the front door, and surly enough in out drive way, next to dad's Black Mercedes was a Brand new Black Aston Martin Vanquish (A/N Car on Profile), I may be a nerd but I know my cars.
"Holy crap!" I yelled and ran over to the car. I ran my hand over the bonnet, and then looked back over to Dad and Mum. Dad had his arm around Mum's shoulders and her head was leaning on his chest and they were both smiling at me.
"You bought me an ASTON MARTIN!?!" I yelled, still in disbelief.
"Yes, and you better look after it" Dad said.
"Oh I will!" I yelled and clicked the open button on the key fob and opened the door. The inside was black leather, it had a very good, but complex, looking stereo system. I sat down in the driver's seat and ran my hand along the dash. My god this car is beautiful!
"Edward, I don't mean to interrupt your bonding process with your new car, but your going to be late for school" My father said, standing right next to my open door.
"Yer, yer" I said, and got out of the car. I went back over the patio and picked up my school bag.
"Well, since you have a car, you might want to go get your license." Dad said. I had just gotten my liscence a month ago, I didn't expact them to buy me a car, I was saving up to buy some shit box, this was way better!
"Yer, I have it, it's in my wallet" I said.
"Ok, well then, have a good day at school" Dad said.
"Ok, see you guys when I get home" I said, I gave mum a hug and a kiss and dad a nod and a smile.
"Thank you both, so much" I said, gratefully.
"Your welcome" The both said.
I ran over to my car and got in. I put the key in and turned it on. It made the most beautiful purr. I revved and it was so awesome. I rolled down my window and waved to mum and dad.
"Cya later" I yelled and I pulled onto our long driveway. As a very bad habit of mine I accelerated way past the safe speed and pulled out onto the road in half the time it takes Dad or Mum. I turned in the direction of school and planted it, going only about 10 over the speed limit; I love the lack of cop's in this town.
***
As I was driving I began thinking, I think this car could be the start of something. Something new, a new… me? I mean I didn't have to spend all my time doing stuff that's "Boring as Hell" I didn't really need to study I was already top of all my classes, which I was in the top course for everything. I was just… naturally smart.
I could change, I could change how I look, what I wear, how I spend my free time and I've already got the best car in school, and I'm a pretty good driver if I must say so my self, you'd think I've been driving the way I swerved through traffic.
***
Half way to school, in my brand new Aston Martin, on the 20th Of June, my 17th birthday was when I decided to change my life. Starting… tomorrow. I'll have one more day, being me, just with an awesome car. Tomorrow, I would change, dramatically.
***
When I got to school, I parked in a spot I thought would be pretty safe from getting any damage inflicted on my car. I could see through my very darkly tinted windows, everybody staring at me, not me really, my car, I don't think that they can even see me.
I got my bag off of the floor on the passenger side, not touching it on the leather or under the dash. I pulled out the key and opened my door, very carefully not hitting the car on my left. I actually heard a few gasp's as I got out of the car. And a few, 'wow's and also a few other comments such as "Edward Cullen has an Aston Martin!?!" Somebody whisperer (not very effectively) yelled. I pressed the button on my keys to lock it the walked to my locker, trying not to look at anyone in the process.
***
When I got to my locker I got my books out, shoved my bag into it, just as I did this the bell went. I held my books close to my chest, held with both arms and walk off to my first class.
When I arrived at class I sat down at my usual seat, front row, 3rd desk along.
When all the other people walked into the class I ignored them, knowing that they would probably looking at me with a what-the-fuck, kind of expression on their faces.
***
The whole day I didn't talk to anybody, like usual, and nobody talked to me. No one even ridiculed me today.
***
After the bell signaling that school was over I packed up all my stuff and left my math classroom. I went to my locker and sorted out my books I had to take home. Once my books were packed into my bag I got it out of the locker and slung it over my shoulder, I locked my locker and walked out to the car park.
When I got into the car park I could see a few guys admiring my car, one guy was about to touch it.
"Don't touch my car!" I yelled at him from about 2 meters away. His head turned up in my direction and looked kind of scared. He better be, try to touch my car, bastard.
"Sorry" He mumbled and walked over to his own car. A few more people walked off and there were only 2 people still looking at it.
"Um, I've got to go, I would appreciated if you moved so I don't run you over" I said politely to the 2 remaining people.
"Sorry, dude" One said and stepped behind the car next to mine still looking at my car, the other followed his actions.
I opened the driver's door and got it, put my bag carefully on the passenger side floor and the key in the ignition and started the engine, and again it revved up. I checked I was good to reverse and quickly spun out of my parking space like a pro and sped off, a little faster than everybody else, out of the car park and towards my house, as I was leaving the parking lot I could see pretty much all eyes on me.
***
When I got home Dad's car was in the drive way, which was odd, he should still be at the hospital, Dad was a doctor.
I parked next to dad and got my bag, got out and locked the car.
When I entered the house Dad and Mum where sitting on the couch, when I walked in their head's snapped in my direction. They both looked really happy.
"Hey Mum, Hey dad." I said placing my bag on the floor near the door.
"Hello Edward" Dad said in a happy greeting.
"Hello sweetie, We have a surprise for you" Mum said.
"Another surprise?" I asked, I think that the car was quite sufficed.
"I got promoted" Dad said.
"Oh, Good for you dad" I said with a kind smile.
"Thank you, But that's not really it" Dad said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well, I've got given the job at the Seattle hospital." He said.
"We're moving to Seattle" Mum said, with a big smile on her face. She was really happy about this.
"Really? Seattle?" I asked. That would be awesome. No offence to forks, but I don't really like small towns and Seattle was defiantly not a small town.
"Yes" Mum answered.
"Awesome, When?" I asked.
"Well, my first day is on Monday so, now" Dad said.
"Oh Ok" I said
"We called up your school and they said that it was fine, and we spoke to your teaches and since you don't currently have any projects that it would be much easier. And your principle will be sending your report cards to your new school" Dad said. Oh great, a new school. Wait. That's perfect, they wont even know that I was/am a major loser. I can just your average guy, I might even make a friend or two. This is going to be great.
"Well, should we start packing?" I asked.
"We already have, We've done our room, Dad office, the kitchen, laundry, all the bathrooms and 2 spare rooms, only things left are the lonuge room, your room and one spare bedroom. The removalists trucks are coming on tomorrow late morning. And we are going to be staying in the beach house for the moment being." Mum said. Yes! I love the beach house. I use to spend most of my summer's their, studding or reading most of the time. The beach house is as big as this house is, which is pretty big and isn't as furnished, but that's about to change.
"Awesome, OK, I'll go do my room then" I said.
"Ok, there are boxes at the top of the stairs" Mum yelled after me as I rushed up the stairs.
***
All of Friday night I packed my room, with help of my mother and then we did the remaining while dad did all the technical stuff like changing our addresses on all important things and other stuff that needed to be done. I think this was going to be the quickest move in history.
***
Saturday morning we all woke up pretty early about 6 and got everything else we needed to pack done, then we loaded up our cars with boxes, I refused to put them anywhere but in my boot.
At 11 the removalists showed up and loaded all the stuff into the trucks.
We were all packed up by 1:30 and we left, mum and dad leading the way, me following them and the removalists following me.
We got to the beach house at 2:45 and had to unpack everything into this house. We instructed the removalists in which room things had to go, things like furniture and TV's and stuff. Once they were done with all of the big and bulky stuff they help us with some of the heavier boxes and then left once their trucks had been emptied, wich was at 4:30. Mum, Dad and I finished getting all the stuff out of the cars then started to unpack the boxes where they go. I did my room first while mum and dad did their room and the bathrooms. Then we all did the rest of the rooms.
By the time we had completely finned unpacking everything it was 8:30 so we decided that we would go out for dinner.
We went out to a nice little Italian restaurant and talked about what we were going to do tomorrow.
"Um, Am I aloud to go shopping?" I asked.
"With us?" Mum asked.
"Um, No, By myself" I said.
"Sure you can. What are you going to buy?" I asked.
"Some new clothes" I said.
"But I can get you clothes when I go shopping" Mum said.
"Yer, But I don't want the same kind of clothes, I want different clothes." I said.
"What do you mean?" Mum asked.
"I wanna change" I said.
"What do you mean?" Mum asked again.
"I don't want to be the little nerd I am, I'm starting at a new school and I want to start differently" I said.
"Oh" mum said.
We ate dinner and didn't really return to that subject. When we were finished we all got back into Dad's car, I had left mine at home, and drove back home.
When we got home I had a shower and got changed. I decided at this point, that now was when I was going to start changing. I got a notebook out and a pen and sat at my desk and wrote a list of things that I had to do. First I had to ditch the glasses and get contacts, great, that will be fun. Second I had to get a completely new wardrobe, that was going to be expensive. Thirdly, I had to change my hobbies, that's going to be easy. Fourthly, I had to find someone to help me out with this, awesome, that will be a sinch… not.
Who could help me? I know I couldn't do this by my self, and I didn't really know anybody in Seattle besides Mum and Dad.
Well I can figure that out tomorrow, I'm exhausted. I turned off my lamp changed into a pair of sweats and a top and hoped into bed. Today was a big day and tomorrow is going to be just as hectic, tomorrow, I'm changing into a different person, a completely new guy.
So, what do you think about my story so far?
