Another school year is about to begin and me and Rose are about to get shipped off to some little town in the northwest of the country.
It's a really nice summer day, sunny but not too hot. I guess this is it, who knows when we are going to see another day like this.
"Bella, Rose, hurry up you don't wanna lose your flight!" my mom yells from the SUV as me and Rose say goodbye to our house.
We are twins but we are nothing alike, well physically, you couldn't tell who's who if we had the same hair color, we're both tall and slender, neither of us a great athlete unless you could count shopping as a sport, but Rosalie has always been more outgoing than me, she's more confident.
I grabbed my bag and walked out the door "alright mom I'm ready" my mom, Renee was sitting in the front seat while her new husband Phil was at the driver's. "Come on Rosalie, we don't have all day!" Rose opened the door and climbed in. She looked perfect, the way she always does, even with her blonde hair pulled up in a messy ponytail and her favorite pair of jeans that were all stained with grease since she loved to work on her car. I couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious.
And now we are on our way to Forks Washington, a little town where our dad lives since… well… forever.
My mom and dad got married when they were really young, but mom comes form a wealthy family and always thought dad couldn't give her everything she needed, and so she left with me and Rose to never go back. We still had to visit Charlie once a year, until Rose couldn't take it anymore and convinced me to say no to another holiday in Forks. I on the other hand, don't really mind where we are going. I've always liked Charlie better than Renee, maybe it's because Charlie always tried his best to give us all his time when we were there.
Mom and Phil are going away to Florida, and Rose and I decided to give them some privacy because, well, we actually like Phil. I'm not so sure about us living in Forks, the place where it rains more than any other in the US, I mean I do love Charlie, but live there for a whole year? I guess it's better than boarding school. Uhmmm yeah we kind of lived in boarding schools all over the country for the last 5 years because mom has always been "too busy with her job" to keep an eye on us. She's a surgeon and the hospital is her life, that's where she met Phil, he's also a doctor.
As we get into the airport, Rosalie stiffs a little "are we actually going to do this? I feel like I'm dreaming, I mean… Forks??" "Come one Rose we like Charlie and I prefer this than boarding school… again…"
After 5 hours on an airplane we got to Port Angeles and Charlie was waiting for us, we took our luggage and met him. He looked the same as ever, brown curly hair, just like mine. With a wide smile that made me feel home.
"Dad, do we really have to take your cruiser to get home?" Rosalie exclaimed "you could have bring my car, or Bella's"
"Well Rose, I'm sorry but your convertible cant fit more than 2 people and Bella's car hasn't arrived yet" driving around in a police cruiser wasn't really the best way to get home, but that's all we had.
It was an hour drive from Port Angeles to Forks and Rosalie did nothing but complain, good thing Charlie was very used to these kind of comments from Rose. Charlie kept driving without saying much, he's very quiet, that's where I got it from.
We arrived to the house that now was our home for the next year, everything looked exactly the same, the little living room with the chimney and our pictures as we grew up, the little kitchen, our room which wasn't as big as the one back in California, at least we had privacy and our own bathroom.
"so kids, I'm glad you decided to come live with me, I know we haven't spent too much time together but I know you'll like it here"
We just got back from unpacking all our stuff and we were sitting on a couch in the living room when I heard a car pull over. I looked out the window and there it was, my ml350 right next to Rosalie's m3 I was so excited I would get to drive myself to school tomorrow, Rose always left me waiting after school for the silliest reasons, I hated it.
It was almost midnight and I couldn't sleep. Rose fell asleep two hours ago and I kept thinking about the next day… I really don't like first days, but it couldn't get worse than last time, we enrolled at a very nice boarding school, and the girls hated us from day one if it wasn't for Rose I would have gone back that very same day.
My alarm clock went off at 6 am and I felt like I didn't sleep at all. I got up and showered and then I woke Rose up, she stood up unwillingly but got to the shower while I picked my outfit for the day. I threw on a pair of jeans and a green sweater, since it wasn't too cold outside; I still had to grab my raincoat. You can't ever leave your house without one in Forks.
Rose got out of the shower and threw on her jeans, a really nice pink blouse and her Burberry coat, she's always had something about designers, then she put on her leather boots. I don't know how she can walk with heels at all. I would totally fall on my face right after I take the first step.
We took a pop tart and some orange juice on our way out since it was getting a little late. I got on my car as did Rosalie and we were off to school.
I really hope we have a good first day.
