Chapter 2: My Forks

Disclaimer: Twilight is Stephenie Meyer's and not mine. Strictly not mine! Because if it were mine it might just suck and all that.

This chapter tells about their (Bella and her Coven) first days in Forks High School.

After a good three years we decided to settle in. A large coven of nomads is hard to handle. Maintaining residence is the best option. We transfer at random. Sometimes we rent vacation houses in places we don't have houses in. We stayed at the northwest region but sometimes we move to northeast for rest. Before that we had to prepare, earn money and know the necessities we need to blend in. We got help from some friends that helped in applications and enrolment. I also know a good lawyer who helps us with the passports, I.D. and papers we need, Amy Lin.

Since then we formed an indulgence to expensive, fast cars. We have the money from countless jobs that we had. We can always waste a few. I own a black Ferrari and the only motorcycle in the garage, silver with red stripes. Myra has a deep purple Porsche and a bright-yellow Volvo. Jesse settled with an old-gold Mercedes and Denise happily bought a monster truck. It suits her character.

Next destination is Forks, Washington and Denise is just dying to see my home town. I personally have no guts to go back but if that makes her happy then it's fine. I still couldn't help myself to be anxious. I tried to convince myself that there is only one in a million chance of meeting the Cullens in Forks. Besides, they won't know that it's me, right? I look different and I smell different. I put it out of my head. And the student population decreased dramatically. I don't know why.

Denise was so excited that she turned me into her personal Barbie doll. She does this every single first day of school and I still can't get used to it. I hate attention and a vampire gets a lot. What more with excessively fashionable clothing. Today she dressed me with a black turtle neck and a pair of faded-blue skinny jeans with a loose thick belt. She made me wear high brown leather boots overlapping the jeans. She made me wear an off-white jacket with a furred collar. Despite her tomboy actions she likes fashion the most.

Denise herself wore a red long sleeve stretch shirt and a pair of artistic olive baggy jeans. She added loose chains around her neck and hip with different sizes. She added a long black motorcycle glove to her left hand with silver and black leather bands attached to it. Of course, there were also chains around it. Black and red leather bands were put around her right wrist. I told her that it was too much and all she did as lose four chains and a leather band. Myra managed to make her take of two more chains.

I took my time to scowl at my image in the mirror. It was too much. She's so much like Alice. I cleared my head of the name before it bothers me more. I took out the gold anglings she put on me and replaced it with simple ones. They were only clip-ons because it's hard to pierce vampire skin.

"Bella!" Denise called from the garage. I'm still in my room and I can tell that she's growing impatient. She's the most excited to go to school and she won't be late. Neither are the rest of us. Myra and I will be staring as sophomores and Denise and Jesse as Juniors. They are older looking.

"Come on, D. Give her time. We'll make it," Myra chided her. I heard Denise sigh in defeat as I closed the door of my room. I darted to the garage and Den's face slightly lit up. I found Jesse and Myra leaning on the doors of Jesse's Mercedes and Denise sitting on top of her truck's front. She grinned at me and I smiled back. I hid my worries. They only have a vague of them knew about my past, even Jesse. I blocked his ability.

"Who's riding with me?" Jesse asked from his sit. No one answered. Myra got in her Porsche and Denise rode with her. Everybody's eyes are all on me as they waited for my decision. "I'll ride my bike. I think," I declared. I mounted it and I wore my props of a leather jacket and a helmet. I needed to stay calm and riding my bike does the trick.

I may like the ride but I still hate the attention. In my coven, Denise is the only one attracted to it but she knows the limitations. Being a vampire, attention is unavoidable. We parked next to each other and well-aware of the wide-eyed open-mouthed crowd of students and teacher alike.

I used my real name Isabella Marie Swan. Jesse barrowed my surname, as my older cousin. Jesse is also a brunette but my hair has a darker shade and a hint of red. Myra and Den are set as sisters. They look a lot alike with their wide eyes and straight black hair they'll definitely pass as sisters. Denise's hair is cropped short and a bit spiky while Myra's hair is long and often held with a clip. They will be using Norelli as their surname.

The cars plus the clothes plus the perfect face and physique get the best attention. I sighed and went to the office with my family. We left the talking to Denise since she's the most excited about Forks. Myra and Jesse stayed by one corner admiring each other while I observe the differences in the building. The school hasn't changed much. They only added a few equipments and the color of the walls changed. It's even more organized than before.

Going back brought painfully happy memories. As much as I want to forget them all, I don't want to not remember. It felt like taking away the essence of my life. I successfully forgot the less painful ones but not entirely.

Our first day went well. Better than our other first days. Less guys tried to hit on me. Less bothering teachers and the only subject that I don't have any of my family with is Biology. It wasn't that much better for Myra and Jesse. Jealousy and irritation flooded their systems and Den and I had to remind them of our situation as vampires.

At night we hunted. I found a big and irritated black bear by the mountains. I sometimes hunt away from the others. They prefer elk and deer and I never understood why. Where's the challenge in herbivores. I don't want to get my clothes dirty too. They hunt like maniacs. After the hunt I practiced with my gift some more. Myra was glad to help but I know that she would want to be with Jesse after their stressing school day.

It's the second day and I still need to calm myself before going to school so I took my bike again. The other three all rode in Jesse's Mercedes. It didn't go as well as I anticipated. In fact, it was worse. Most of the other guys got the courage to ask me out and those that I've already rejected tried again. I kindly told them "no" but I doubt they'll give up. It will change next year I suppose.

Myra had less because only a few were stupid enough to o against Jesse. Denise had it just like me. I feel guilty for not warning her suitors about her temper. Jesse got the lightest worries with suitors because most of the girls are shy and majority of the brave ones have already been rejected. Harshly if I may add. Myra and Jesse used the sentence: "I'm engaged." And the humans gave up. I know exactly how they feel. How can a mere human compete with a perfect creature. At the end of the afternoon the whole school knows about their relationship.

I still didn't lose to believe that a vampire once chose me, a mere human, over the perfect creatures that surrounded him. But he left me, right? Edward didn't want to see me anymore. He has his distractions and an ordinary and clumsy girl like I was is very easy to forget. It hurts. I clutched my chest, wrapping my arm over them so that I won't fall into pieces.
