And now looking in your eyes

I feel in my heart...

The start of something new

- The start of something new

First day of school. Ugh. I hated it. Remembering the previous schools I'd been too didn't help rise my spirits either. With my father - Charlie - being a very fussy police officer, needing to find the right place he thought needed 'taking care off'. Reasoned to lots of travel, moving schools, moving homes, leaving lives. It annoyed me to an extent but I would rather spend my teenage years with Charlie other than my mother who wasn't quite fit to be a mother. Never taking things seriously, care-free.

But it was with my dad where it felt like I truly fit in. Shyness was one of the many traits I'd inherited; never talking much, smiling just for show. It took a lot to make me smile, laugh. I had a best friend which I'd met during my stay in Chicago.

Jesse; yes, he is a boy. I'd never really gotten along with girls. It'd been very hard for us to part, we both talking non-stop for days after my absence, on the phone of course. I'd always tease him about talking for hours like a girl would and he would always laugh it off and say something he would think offensive but just made me laugh more.

The tears pricked behind my eyes, threatening to fall and show my real emotions. I couldn't let people see me like this; sad and depressed wasn't such a good start to a new school. That was another thing I hated about myself, the fact that I was so emotional. My dad said it was the beauty of having a big heart - I'd always have no response.

La Push. That was now the place we'd resided in. Charlie knew someone who lived on the reservation and had asked him to come down to help with the killings that were going around the town. He was happy about it - finally some action in his work area.

Still, he was worried for his sixteen year old daughter; the reason we lived in La Push. The murders were happening in a place not too far from the reservation; Forks. Of course, with my luck I hadn't been alive when Charlie met Billy Black, so therefore I knew no one here.

"He has a son now, Jacob Black." Charlie had said. "Make sure you look out for him, I'm sure you'll be great friends."


I followed a dirt path to La Push high. Luckily it was close enough to just walk since I still hadn't gotten a car for myself. It was only the second day we'd been living in the area and I already hated the weather. It was far too cold for my liking. Though I was in love with the place we were.

The forests were magical - I'd taken a short walk through the one behind our house - and the beaches were perfect, except for the fact I wasn't able to swim during this weather. One bad thing though was the roots that bulged from the ground. I was one of the unlucky people in the world who were so clumsy I was almost disabled.

I really did not want it to be a re-run of the previous school I'd been too. As soon as I walked in through the large doors of the study area, all heads turned to me. And of course I blushed like a tomato.

My head snapped up when I heard the slight sound of chattering and cars pulling in. I didn't realize I was already this close, taking a deep breath, I took another step forward. My slightly tanned fingers ran through my brown hair which flowed down my back. The chocolate brown eyes I'd inherited searched around for the main office or someone who looked nice enough to show me.

They were all so beautiful. The people who walked around the hallways, talking and laughing with each other. Each of them tall with amazing coloured skin and beautiful smiles, all full of life. Chewing down on my bottom lip, I could see that I no where fit in here.

I was now walking through the school halls, searching for somewhere I could find help. Maybe that way? Wow, they're all so bea - Someone pulled me from my repetitive thoughts.

"Hello?" A quite short - compared too the rest of the guys - boy stood in front of me. He had the same colour skin as the rest of them but had a hint of baby still in his cheeks and eyes. Skinner than the rest of them as well, I noted. He looked nice enough, with his deep brown eyes melting into mine. "I'm Seth." He grinned, showing his perfect white teeth and extending a hand towards me. I could tell we would be great friends already.

"I´m Bella." I returned his grin and shook his hand, he had a pretty firm grip. "New here." I laughed nervously, dropping our hands.

"Isabella Swan?" He questioned, smiling wider. Damn. How did people already know I was coming? And with that name.

"Yeah that's me, but I prefer Bella." Hopefully I would get known as Bella Swan and not Isabella. "H - How did you now?"

Seth laughed, rolling his eyes. He came across as a really nice person, almost reminded me of Jesse. "With a little town like this, everyone knows everything." He smiled sweetly, inclining his head down the hallways. "Want me to show you around?"

Wow. I could tell I would really like Seth. He was so sweet and easy to get along with. My smile brightened and I nodded. "That would be perfect, thanks."

He showed me the science labs, the gym - when we'd gone past the gym I grimaced and he laughed when I told him of how clumsy I was - the cafeteria, the English rooms, the drama rooms. Where the lockers were if I needed them, the several toilets spread throughout the school and finally the main office; the school wasn't polished or high-fashioned by the certain calming charm about it made me fall in love with it. "C'mon I'll introduce you to my friends." Seth said excitedly.

I kind of figured he would want to show me off but I didn't mind - he'd been a really big help and had made me laugh a lot which I was grateful for. "Sure." He pulled me through the now crowded hallways of La Push High until we broke to a secluded area hidden behind a large mahogony tree. "Embry? Quil?" Seth called out and appeared two boys that could've been brothers they looked so much alike. A lot like Seth but their skin was darker, taller and alot more built. "This is Quil Acetera and Embry Call." Seth announced, nodding towards each of them.

The two males smirked and held out their hands towards me. I shook them, wondering why everyone here had such a firm grip. "Bella Swan."

"Nice to meet you Bella." They both said, eyeing me - my cheeks turned a deep red. "Knock it off guys." Seth grumbled next to me, looking older now with an angry expression.

"Who's the new girl?" Said a new voice coming from the bushes but two people appearing; both looking older than Seth, Quil and Embry. "That's Jared and Paul." Seth mumbled, looking rather annoyed. Now turning towards the two new arrivals.

"This is Bella. She's new here." The two new additions looked the same, again. How was it that everyone here looked related? Surely they couldn't all be. I was about to say something when I was interrupted by a loud noise - the school bell. I nearly jumped out of my skin, causing me too fall backwards over a log you could use to sit on.

I heard slight chuckles from around me, resting on my shoulders. I narrowed my eyes at them all which only caused them to laugh more. "C'mon, lets get you to class." Seth said, still laughing. I nodded and took his hand to steady myself, standing up. "Thanks.." I mumbled, my cheeks turning even redder.

"No problem and don't mind those guys, they're idiots at times but great once you get to know them." I nodded, smiling softly. I would try and make friends with them, I needed someone I could talk to and they seemed fine to me. "Sure, they seem nice enough." I suppressed a sigh. "Time for class now?"

Seth laughed, "Yeah it is. But I'll see you at the break. You know where your first class is?" I nodded and waved bye, watching him walk off and then walking towards my own class room. I had English first and I knew where to go. A sweet smile played my lips, I was happy to meet Seth, happy so far with everything that was going on but that could all change with the outcome of my first class.

Taking a deep breath, my fingers traced the door handle before slowly opening it. Unfortunately the door creaked which led to the few people who were already in class, heads turn towards me. I smiled back at the softly, no one seemed to look bitchy or the mean type so I was still fairly happy with the place.

I looked around for the teacher who sat at the front of the room, a large smile plastered on his face. His long black hair was tied neatly at the back of his neck - you could definitely tell he was Native American. "Are you Isabella Swan?" He asked, his voice rough. I nodded.

"I prefer Bella though." I stated with a warm smile. "Bella then. There's a spot up the back, the only one free. "You'll be sharing with Jacob though, good kid I tell ya'." He pointed towards the brown desk at the back right corner and I walked towards it, putting my things down on the floor and waiting for class to start. My eyes drifted to the window outside, getting lost in a day dream as the rest of the class fluttered inside.

JacobPOV

Fuck. I was late again. Being a werewolf was killing my sleep time and I still had to endure a normal day life. Which meant waking up and going to school. Jumping from my bed, I had five minutes to get to school. Shit, shit, shit. If I skip again, Sam will be furious.

I yanked on a pair of cut off jeans and a light grey shirt, not caring how unappealing I looked at the moment. I would have to skip breakfast which I hated doing due to my higher metabolism.

Quickly brushing my teeth and splashing my face with water, I bounded out of the house and towards my school - luckily with me being a werewolf - I was a fast runner and would be able to make it. Sprinting through the forest, my short cut I'd found, i made it to the spot where the werewolves of La Push hung out.

There had been someone new here; I could smell a different scent which made my mouth water. Most likely it would've been the new girl - Isabella Swan. My dad had told me to watch out for her, too help settle her in. Of course the nicest kid on the reservation - Seth - would be helping her out.

Her smell was like flowers, perfect. A hint of vanilla and strawberry mixed in. Biting down on my bottom lip, I quickened my pace until I reached the door of my first class - English with Mr. Woods. Yes! I could smell the same sweet scent; she was in the same class as myself.

Opening the door loudly, causing it to bang against the wall, all heads turned towards mine except for one who sat at my desk which I presumed would be Isabella. "Nice of you to join us Jacob." Mr. Wood's voice arose, causing me to smile sheepishly.

Slowly, the girl who sat at my desk lifted her eyes up to mine and I froze. My lips parted slightly, staring at her like she was a million dollar prize. Everything other than her faded away, every other worry I had was now gone and all I could see was her, as I stared into the chocolate eyes I melted in.

A\N; Jacob and the rest are already werewolves and Jacob is older than Bella. He'd never met her before and I'm guessing all your guys can guess what happened to him towards her? :P

This is my first fan-fic, review please? It would mean a lot(: Should I continue?
