"Lilly?" Shay asked.
"Yes?" I replied, attempting to sound tired.
"Are you ready for school?"
"Yea, I guess I am, but I think the other kids will think I'm weird."
"No they won't, honey. If anything they will be jealous."
"Yea, whatever you say."
"Exactly, Lills."
Ugh! Why did I have to live with these people? Their nice and every thing, but I don't even know them well. Soon enough they will realize I'm not ageing, and think something's up when I go though my years with out one change in my striking appearance, when I don't get one discoloring through my curly, mahogany hair, or when I don't get one wrinkle on my pale oval shaped face. I was stuck at 14 forever, not to grow another inch in height, or any other ways.
It won't be to long now I will have to start figuring out what I'm going to write on my runaway letter. Of course the day will come when I have to runaway from Shay and Jamie, the two nicest adopted parents any vampire could ask for. Thou I can only imagine how that letter would go; it had been running though my head since I got here in this 2-horse-town called Forks.
Dear Shay and Jamie,
I'm sorry it had to end like this but I decided to go my own way. Its not that I don't love you or anything, it's just that I don't think this can work anymore.
I will send you updates on where I am and what I'm doing all the time.
Please don't come looking for me or report me to anyone, please just say that we located my parents and I want to live with them for awhile. Say I'm in Alaska or something please just do this for me.
Love, Lilly.
"Lilly, honey, it's time to go!" Shay called from down stairs, interrupting my thoughts.
"Coming!" I called back. I tried my hardest not to get in any situation where I would have to call them mum or dad.
"OK, we will be in the car!" She called back.
I left it at that and tried to think about the kind of people I would want to hang out with. I could always change through all the schools I will be going to, though I think for my first I should pick something good like cheerleader or social butterfly or something like that. How hard can it be to fit in at Forks High when you look like me.
If there were any vampires in the two-bit-town that would be great, but I really do doubt it. No vampire would be as stupid as me and try going to school, "what lunatics" I mumbled under my breath as if there were vampires there and I was sure of it.
So, on that thought I climbed into the car. No one said anything, they must know (or think) that I'm nervous about school. I could smell there fear. The sad fact was I actually could smell it, the sweat beading off there necks was gross. Some times it was easy to hate my gift of heightened senses. Vampires had extra hearing, smell, touch and sight. Thou my special gift was my senses were higher than the norm, and I could also heighten other vampires and human senses at my own will. It was fun sometimes but in situations like this, it was my worst enemy.
By this stage in my self debate, we arrived at school. I have to admit I was sort of nervous but not of school the its self, but of the students in it. Basically because when I stepped out of the car after saying goodbye to Shay and Jamie and them wishing me to have a good day, everyone in a 50 meter radius stopped what they were doing to look at me, gawking might be a better word. And I could have sworn I saw someone dribble with shock. I would have blushed if I could have.
"The Cullen's have another sister?" I heard someone ask.
