My first day back in Forks with Charlie was pretty uneventful just as I thought it would be. This place is as dreary as ever, and I'm already missing the Arizona sun. As much as I missed the warm weather, I stayed determined in my decision to live in Forks. Convinced myself that it wouldn't be that bad after all Charlie got me a truck so that I could actually go places if I wanted to. I suppose all this negativity was from thinking about school. Tomorrow would be my first day, and I was nervous. I wasn't very good at making friends or socializing in general.
I just really hoped I didn't embarrass myself. I could survive without friends. Back in Arizona I only had one friend and we weren't that close. She was legally blind and very absent-minded and we didn't have many classes together. She wished me good luck when I told her I was leaving but there was no drawn out or tearful goodbye filled with promises to keep in touch. I didn't really care either way.
Charlie made himself scarce once we got to the house giving me space to settle in which I really appreciated. I already finished unpacking and had let Renee know I got here safely, so I made my way downstairs to get some food and then it was off to bed. I felt my stomach tighten, nervousness filling me over the prospect of going to school in the morning.
I woke up to the blaring of my alarm quickly slapping my hand around until I hit the off button. I sat up groggily nervousness hitting me already. I dragged myself out of bed to get ready and get some breakfast. My trucked roared to life as I made my way to school. As I pulled into the parking lot heads were turning my way. I could feel myself blushing already, so I ducked my head and hid behind my hair as I fled into the school building. After getting my schedule from the office I tried to make my way to my first class but my clumsiness got the best of me when I ran into someone causing both of us to fall to the floor.
"Are you all right?" a concerned voice said. I looked up to see a cute boy sitting in front of me. I must have been staring for a while because he gave me a bemused look and spoke again as he started to get up, "Here let me help you, I'm Mike by the way." I took hold of his outstretched hand blushing, "I'm Bella."
