Chapter one:

Breathe. Just breathe. I tell myself as I drag my boddy up the rope. The gym teacher, Mr. Dickson looks on, unimpressed. I reach the top of the rope and climb down.

The class claps for me. I bow, and head over to the wall. Everyone laughs and Bella Swan steps forward. She flips her ID over her shoulder. She starts up the rope, and I can tell she's not having nearly as easy a time with it as I did.

I'm suddenly back at the gym in my old high school the day I found out that my parents had died. My life is so not a fairytale. I've kind of always known that, but still. The day I found out the news changed my life forever.

I'm now in a foster home where I'm basically ignored. Worse than that, my foster sisters take out their frustration on me. It really sucks. Like I said, not a fairytale.

Nothing's ever been easy for me. In fact, hard would be an improvement.

I'm brought back to reality by Mr. Dickson yelling for someone to take Bella to the nurse. I step forward and drag Bella out, down the hall, and to the nurse's office.

Her eyelids flutter as soon as I get her on the cot.

"What's your name?" says Bella, wrenching her eyelids back.

"shaylee. But everyone calls me shay." I mutter quietly.

The first time I've ever really said my real name out loud.

"Nice to meet you Shay." Bella says.

"Nice to meet you bella."

"You know my name?" she asks.

"yeah. Mr. Dickson asked someone to take you to the nurse."

Bella nods, and slowly sits up. "I'm fine now." She says.

"okay. Ms. Swan, Ms. Turner, do you want a slip to get back to class?" asks the nurse. I didn't even notice that she was there. I take both slips and hand one to Bella. She smiles, and I think that maybe, just maybe, I made a new friend in bella swan.

a/n: So… how was it? It took me forever to think of a title for this. You'll see later why I called it this. See ya!

Emmabeth.
