"Oh god" I thought as I looked out the window, another rainy, cloudy day. It was my
first day of my freshman year at forks high school, and unlike most of my soon to be
classmates, I wasn't as excited as nauseas. My mum had sent me to this rainy purgatory
of a town when she was no longer able to stay with me when Phil was traveling.
It's not like she didn't want me there it was just hared for her to be separated from her
husband, she probably wouldn't have even thought of sending me if I hadn't hinted at. I
could tell that she was absolutely miserable without him. So that's how I ended up here.
It wouldn't be completely horrible I expect, Charlie had forced me to go cookouts and
picnics where I met many of the charming forks high school students. So I would have
people to sit with at lunch and show me around. Though with the mike and Erik treated
me I wasn't completely sure that I didn't prefer having 'friends' to just being ignored.
"Bells are you ready to go yet" Charlie yelled up the stair well
"Be down in a sec" I yelled back god I can't wait till I can drive I thought looking
through my window to the police cruiser. Nothing like being dropped off at school in a
car with red & blue lights on top.
"Bye honey have a good first day" said Charlie while flashing me a smile
"Thanks dad see you later" I whispered as I tried to gracefully extract myself from the
cruiser. I was worried that if I opened my mouth wide enough I would vomit and seeing
as this day would probably be emotionally scaring enough without me vomiting as I
walked in the front doors.
"Hey Bella!!!!" yelled mike from down the hall
"Hi mike." I returned he was already right in front of me
"So are you excited" he asked his grin was so big I was worried he may not be able to get it off.
But before I could answer the intercom let out a crackly announcement "ALL
FRESHMEN PLEAS REPORT TO THE AUDITROIUM"
Mike and I were separated, not that I minded, by the stamped of nervous freshman. As I
was walking into the auditorium the toe of my trainers caught on the edge of the door,
and as I was bracing myself for impact I felt two cold hands catch me. When I opened
my eyes I was looking at a startlingly beautiful face, well I was more looking down then at.
"Hi, im Alice, are you o.k." said the pixie of a girl. Alice could not have been over 4'11
and had short, black hair that was artfully disheveled.
"I'm Bella, and thanks for catching me back there" I scrambled to find words to say
while I was so mesmerized by her looks.
"No problem" she chuckled "we should probably go inside now"
"Yeah probably"
"It was nice to meet you Bella" Alice said while she gracefully walked right and I walked
left towards a waving Jessica and Mike.
I had just settled down next to Angela when the Principle stood up to make a speech
"Welcome to your first and certainly most exciting year of Forks High School. Before
we get down to business I would like to introduce three new faces that just transferred
here from out of the district Please give a warm welcome to Isabella Swan, Alice and
Edward Cullen, could you three please stand up?" Alice was new and she had a brother
To my extreme embarrassment, I tripped on my pant leg while I tried to stand up, and
tumbled onto the floor
Most of the freshmen class had started to giggle by the time I had stood up my cheeks
aflame. When they saw my face a pretty blond girl let out a roar of malicious laughter.
But shut up when Alice glared at her. The boy who had stood up with Alice now turned
around to look at me. He and Alice looked so much alike yet so different there pale skin
and angular features made them look alike, but his hair had a bronze look to it while hers
was jet black. Also in my opinion he was much more beautiful then her, his god like
structures looked as if Michael Angelo should have carved it from marble.
But I was apparently not the only one to have noticed how gorgeous he was gasps could
now be heard from almost every female in the room
"Welcome Edward, Alice, and Isabella you may sit down now" Mr. Williamson said
trying to regain the attention of the room.
Mr. Williamsons speech was pretty run of the mill, be responsible, don't do drugs, good
luck. After his speech was made we were dismissed to our second period class. On our
way out I snuck a peak at Edward as most of the girls were doing, but when I lifted my
eyes from the ground his rich, golden eyes met mine. As soon as I saw he was looking at
me I shifted my focus back to the ground, but the expression on his face was as if I
wasn't meeting his expectations, as if he was waiting for something to happen. Well this
certainly would be an interesting year.
