Well, I'm not exactly a newbie to fanfiction. I have another account set up on here for all of my other stories, but this is my first Twilight fanfiction. My other stories circulated around the Harry Potter fandom. But, I'm an avid fan of the Twilight Saga so I thought I'd try my hand at a Twilight fanfiction. And, since Seth is just about my favorite character, not to mention he's totally hot, I mean, I just know it, I thought I'd try my hand at setting him up since everyone knows that is just going to be great once he gets together with someone. I wish I could have him actually. Oh well, I'll just have to settle for Lizzie having him. Hope you like the story.
"Have a good first day!" my mom called as I got out of the car. I felt myself blush as a few other kids in the parking lot looked out way.
"I will, mom, love you," I said, quickly shutting the door and resituating my backpack on my shoulder as my mom drove off. I looked at Forks High School and sighed. Way small. Like, smaller than my past school, which, believe me, was WAY too small for the number of kids in it.
But, remember, Lizzie, this place only has like 3,000 people living in the town, I reminded myself. It was September, not exactly the middle of the first semester, but enough into the school year that everyone else had already built up their own bonds with everyone and I was bound to be the outsider. Joy, right? Note use of sarcasm. Oh, and lets not forget that I was, like, thirty minutes early for school.
I stood awkwardly in the parking lot for a few more moments before I willed myself to walk to the "Main Office" building. I was dreading this day more and more with each step that I took. I mean, how could my parents do this too me!
But, I guess that I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm Elizabeth Gates. And, no, there is no relation to Bill Gates. And, if you hadn't already guessed, my family just moved to Forks Washington. Like, one of the top ten wettest places in the United states. I was used to the Southern Tennessee climate, not this.
We had moved here because of my mother, Dawn Gates. She said that she wanted to "go back to her family roots" or whatever. So, since she lived here as a child, guess what? Her kids get to have just as much fun here as she did! Joy. You know, I bet you can just feel the sarcasm rolling off me now. Yeah.
My parents had promised me when I was younger that we would never move because my mother knew what it was like to have to go through that. Well, turns out my parents changed there mind about the whole "not moving" thing without telling us, my brother, Harold, or Harry for short, and me because I came home from school one day and my parents were packing. I cried for a week, nonstop. So now, I was simply resigned to my fate.
Well, I'm fifteen, kinda small for my age since I'm only five foot tall and most people say that I'm as light as a feather weighing in at only 95 pounds. I have brown hair that goes to about mid-chest, since we just cut it and blue marbly eyes. Fair skinned, very freckled, porcelain colored. And that's just about what I look like in a nutshell I guess.
So, I'm walking through the parking lot and I take one-step forward and a like, half a second later a almost sad looking beat up car in the space that I had just been. I whipped around seriously ticked off. Whoever that was could have taken off my foot or something with the way they were driving.
"What the heck! Would you watch where you're driving? You almost took off my foot!" I yelled at the car as the people got out.
On the shotgun side closest to me, a girl who looked like she was my age, but more beautiful than anyone I had ever seen, hopped out with the grace of a model. On the driver's side a huge, and I mean HUGE, native American looking guy gets out, and of course, he just has to look cute too doesn't he? And when I say huge, I mean, like, 6' 6" huge, with like muscles showing through his shirt and everything. Yeah, I know, I was pretty wowed by that too. And then, as if that wasn't enough, out comes two more hugely native American-ish people get out, a girl on the driver's side and a guy who look like he was seventeen or something on my side. And the guy on my side... just... oh my god gorgeously cute. Like, "OMG, I'm going to have a heart attack from his cuteness" cute. Could this day get like any more embarrassing? Me screaming at two huge guys one of whom was standing oh so close to me and I practically thought I was going to faint. And this other huge chick who looked like she could break me in half. Along with this insanely gorgeous and sweet looking girl.
I officially hated my life.
"I'm sorry, Jake needs to drive a little better," said the petite looking model girl in front of me. "I'm Renesmee," she said, extending her hand. I shook myself out of the shock of being around all of these insanely intimidating and pretty people and shook her hand.
"I'm Elizabeth. But you can call me Lizzie if you want," I said.
"I didn't mean to, you know, almost kill you. Seth here was being stupid and distracted me," said Jake. "I'm Jacob Black by the way. Uh, are you okay?"
"Um... oh, uh, yeah. I'm sorry for just blowing up on you guys like that. I mean, I'm usually not like that. I'm just kinda tense already and I got freaked out," I explained. I know I probably shouldn't be spilling out like this but it was just to darn easy to talk to them.
"Oh, it's okay. You're the new girl, right?" Renesmee said, in what I assumed was a rhetorical question, but, all the same, I nodded. She smiled sweetly and I just wanted to run up and hug her. "Well, that's Leah Clearwater," she said, gesturing to the girl on the other side of the car. "And this is her brother, Seth Clearwater."
I looked up at him at exactly the same time as he looked down at me and when our eyes met, I could have sworn that I felt a shift in the air or something. I smiled, the only thing that my brain seemed to be able to do at that moment. Finally, I some how gained the ability to speak again and said hi to him.
"Hi," he said back, and if I wasn't mistaken, which I totally could have been, he sounded a little breathless. And then this heavy silence just sort of over took us as Seth and I just stared back at each other, neither one of us willing to look away.
Finally, I heard a giggle and Seth and I both broke away, looking at Renesmee. Who looked like she was trying to keep from giggling still. "So, do you need someone to show you around? We all usually hang out before school when they have to get back to the res," she said.
"Sure that would be great," I said and we head off to the main office building again, but this time, I was in MUCH better spirits.
So, that was the first chapter. I hope you guys liked it. tell me your ideas and they may just get their way into the story. Review and alert if you please.
Love, LadyOfTrinity
