Okay so this is my first fanfic, wish me luck!
This is a story of a girl who goes to Forks with her family to visit her ailing aunt, Jacque.
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own twilight, I just hope I get the characters right.
I sighed with relief as the car finally came to a stop in front of a cozy looking house, and gathered my stuff as I climbed out and onto the lawn. My parents had driven my twin brother, Austin, and me halfway across the country to pay what might be a final visit to my aunt Jacque. You see, she had some kind of disease that left her too weak to do much of anything, and my parents quickly volunteered to help. I was cool with that though, because the high school here was small, and I was tired of my huge class of not so impressive students at my old school.
"Amy, open the door, please," my mom said bitterly. As I pulled out the key, I laughed internally at my mom's random spell of crankiness. She was only like this when she was exhausted so ,thankfully, it wasn't much of an issue.
I managed to get the door open and as I stepped inside I gasped. This place was kind of a mess, as in it was worst than my room back home. I heard my mom fussing and starting to sort things into piles to be cleaned.
"Hey, Mom, maybe you shouldn't be touching everything yet. Jacque probably likes stuff this…way." I wasn't sure how anyone could live like this, maybe she was a hoarder or something, yeesh.
"Hello! Oh, goodness, it's been so long!" I jumped and turned around to see my aunt hugging my dad, her brother. She may be weak, but she sure talked a lot. She began going through what I was sure was a heartwarming story of their childhhood.
Later that night, after everyone was into their spare bedrooms and unpacked, I was thinking about what to do tomorrow. It would be Sunday, the last day before starting school. I thought about how lucky I was to be starting at the beginning of the year, with everyone else. I've never been to a new school before, so at least it will be intersesting. I drifted to sleep without any plans for the next day.
Sunday
Austin's POV
Okay, so the last thing I needed to wake up to was a thunderstorm. This weather has nothing in common with the sunny, warm days I'm use to. I mean, it's august for crying out loud! Where is the sun and why is it only about 65 degrees? The thing is, I'm into sports, and not into slipping around int the mud. Oh well, I'll find something to do today. Maybe I'll go to the beach with that guy I met at the general store yesterday. He seemed okay, and he offered to teach me how to surf. The kid must be crazy though, because the water has to be freezing.
"Hey, Austin, you awake?" I heard my sister inquire from the hall.
"Yeah, why?" I replied admittedly grouchy.
"Just wondering what you had planned, I don't wanna be stuck in the house because then Mom will have me cleaning and that's just wrong."
"Yeah I'm heading to the beach, but can you not come? I wanna go meet people and you might scare everybody away."
"There's a beach here? but it's so cold, I mean who wants to go swimming in a ice?" she answered.
I opened my door and said, "There are beaches in some of the coldest places on earth that idiots swim in, but don't ask me why."
"Alright," she grumbled,"I won't tag along, but I will laugh if you get a cloud burn our something." She stalked away and went downstairs. I rolled my eyes, closed the door, got dressed then followed her. I was not expecting the place to be nearly spotless.
"Mom cleaned it all up!" Amy exclaimed," I'm free, see ya!" She left the house and I saw her walking down the sidewalk through the window. She needed to stop saving for clothes and just buy some junkie car like mine, that I love. I grabbed my keys and headed to house of potential friend.
Amy's POV
Okay my brother might be right for once, I seriously need to buy a car already. Oh well, walking is healthy. After walking a couple of blocks, I see a small shop and decide to enter and look around. Inside, there is everything from cute but cheap looking clothes to cards to office supplies. Maybe it's a really small, family-owned version of Target.
There was a girl about my age a few feet away looking at a limited source of school bags. She had a slightly lighter shade of brunette hair than me, and was about an inch and a half shorter. She must have noticed me looking at her, and she looked towards me.
"Hey, are you new here or just visiting? I haven't seen you before I don't think," she asked enthusiastically. She had bright blue eyes, which made me a little jealous because my eyes were a shade of brown that dind of looked like poopie. Yeah, I don't swear.
"Both," I replied, "I'm visiting for the first time, but I'll be here for a while. My name is Amy Vondandt." I wanted to ask her if she went to the high school here, but I was a little shy.
"I'm Bethany King, nice to meet you. Oh, are you going to school here? It starts tomorrow, you may or may not know." Question answered I guess. And wow she seems really talkative.
"Yeah, I do, I assume you must, too?"
"Haha, Yep! I was hoping I could find a decent bag here, but I might have to drive to Port Angeles. Do you have all your supplies already? You should come with me! Come on, let's go!"
"Alright," I laughed, "just let me call my parents."
We went shopping for a couple of hours then hung out at the mall's food court. She dropped me off at home late in the afternoon. I thanked her, went inside and plopped on the couch next to my brother.
"Long day?" I asked,"mine was."
"The beach was fun, I got to know this guy, Blake, and the water I got use to eventually," Austin answered sort of distantly.
"What's wrong," I asked, recognizing his tone.
"Nothing's wrong," he said., "It's just that I think there is a gang at the beach, and a scary one at that. There were a bunch of over-sized guys who must do steroids or something."
"You're silly," I giggled, "Don't worry about it too much, bro. Now, I'm gonna go eat a cookie."
