"Bella are you SURE you want to do this" my mother asked pleadingly… for the millionth time… in the last 2 minutes…
"Don't worry mom, I'll be fine in Forks. Be happy with Phil, and don't feel guilty. I've made this decision on my own."
If there's one thing I know. It's that my mom, Renee, is the happiest person alive when around Phil. She hasn't pushed me away, but I know she needs her space. Besides, I'm a junior know and I haven't spend much time with Charlie, my dad, in Forks, along with my brother Emmett. He was more than willing (and incredibly shocked) when I told him I wanted to spend time with him before I go to college. I wasn't leaving anything behind either, my mom and I would always stay in touch. I couldn't wait to see the look of surprise on Emmett's face when he saw me too; I mean I have changed a lot.
I used to visit Forks every summer or so. But for the last 4 years I just got busy with all the extra curricular activities during the summer. I had definitely improved considerably appearance-wise. I had grown curves and had a flat stomach. My face was clear of blemishes and I had "deep brown intoxicating eyes" as my mother would say. I didn't see anything way too attractive about myself, but I was asked out a lot. I never said yes, though. I just wasn't interested in mindless superficial shallow football clones.
I loved Phoenix, but I really only had one amazing friend, Angela. She was the only one who could understand me. I was fairly athletic with track, cross country and tennis, but I love reading and learning (I know it's nerdy but it's me!) just as much. We promised we'd keep in touch and I know I'd call her every night.
I was really exited to see Forks again. I had grown accustomed to the green and I couldn't wait to see Emmett and Charlie. I highly doubted Emmett, the crazy football jock but teddy-bear-ish senior would recognize me, but I'm sure Charlie would… or so I hope. I guess we'll just have to see!
