Here you go, the first chapter of Adore. I know its short but i just wanted to get it out there for y'all. :) Enjoy.
I grabbed my bag and slammed my car door closed. In the process of doing so, I ended up spilling the entire contents of my bag onto the pavement.
"Great." I whispered to myself. I had only just got everything back into my bag as a bell rang. I jumped and stood up quickly. Shoot. I tried to run to to reception slipping a few times on the icy ground. First day and im already late. I brushed past large groups of people, stuggling to find my way to Bio.
As I walked down the long corridors, taking in the lockers and full classrooms, I finally found the place I'd bee looking for. I inhaled a deep breath and pushed the heavy door open. The class was full of people writing downs notes, focusing on what the person at the front was saying. As soon as I had walked in though, the room was quiet and everyones faces were up and staring at me. The new girl.
"Erm, im new." I barely said, trying to ignore the gaping faces.
"Oh, right, of course. What was the name?" I couldn't tell if he was expecting me or not really.
"Kiara Jones? " Sir looked through my notes carefully, nodded and pointed to a seat right at the back; next to a bubbly brunette girl.
"Welcome to Forks Miss Jones," I smiled and walked to my seat, sitting down and getting my notebook out of my bag.
Throughout the class I heard some of the other girls and boys whispering but I just told myself it wasn't about me at all and I often caught them staring at me too. I couldn't understand why they would stare at me, im nothing special. My long blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail, my fringe falling over my face and in my blue, make up surrounded eyes.. I don't stand out so it doesn't really make any sense for a whole class of kids to be staring at me endlessly. Its kinda annoying. As the class moved on I began to drift away to that special place in my mind where no one else could visit, my happy place I guess. My thoughts then drifted to the past..
I had moved to Forks when I was 4 and moved back to my hometown of Wyomissing when I was just 7 years old, that was 10 years ago now. Now Im staying with my family here, they have so many friends here, that they welcomed us back with open arms. And of course I couldn't wait to see my best friend that I used to always play with whenever she came to visit her dad. Bella Swan, we were joined at the hip and I knew she was upset when I moved away again. That reminded me, whilst I was here I was going to get payback on the boy that used to pull my hair and forced me to eat mud pies. Jacob Black. Ha-ha, not really. We used to hang whenever Bella was in Phoenix with her mom. I remember those long nights, either hanging in the tree house or dancing in the rain and then falling asleep and watching the stars and plus you cant forget your first kiss now can you?

At lunch I walked into the big hall and grabbed a sandwich and a bottle of water. I had no idea where to sit at all so I stood there for a couple of minutes before I felt someone tap me on my shoulder. I turned around and saw the girl I'd sat next to in bio.
"Hi, im Jessica. Your new here right?"
"Im Kiara. Yep, first day at Forks High."
"Ahh, my friend used to be the new girl here for a while, until she ditched me for a guy,"
"That happened a lot at my old school actually. You could never trust a pretty girl!" She laughed.
"You had chance to mingle yet?"
"No, not really. You're the only one that hasn't actually stared at me like fish and has been polite enough to say hello." She giggled.
"Well then, why don't you come sit with me and I can introduce you to my people?"
"That would be great, thanks." She linked arms with me and walked me over to a table full of around 5 other people.
"Hey Jess!" A few greeted the girl.
"Hey. Okay guys, I would like to introduce you to Kiara. She's new here." I smiled.
"Hi!" I waved and smiled. They all said hi back and smiled at me. I pulled out a chair and sat.
"Tell us a few facts about yourself." One of the guys asked me. I looked up.
"Erm, my full names Kiara lyssa Lee Jones. I play the guitar and the piano. I love the smell of winter and sparkly things." I smiled.
"I like her." I smiled even brighter before it turned into a full blow conversation.
* * * *
The rest of the day went past smoothly and soon I was back in my car on my way to my old and I guess new house. When I got there, I saw a van outside and my big brothers car. Austin ,my brother, wouldn't be here for too long as he's got collage soon, but he just wanted to see us settled in before he went. My brother and I were pretty close, he always looked out for me and helped me. And he always persuaded me to follow my heart, which of course lead to my true passion… Music. I'd been playing since I was tiny, and used to sing, dance and play non-stop. I just couldn't stop myself, its in my blood.
I jumped out of my car and bounded up the drive. When my brother cought sight of me, he pulled me in for a big hug.
"Hey sis, how was your first day?"
"Good, slightly boring but good."
"Well, that's… good." I laughed.
"What time are the parents gonna be home?"
"Erm, 6ish I think, why?"
"I just thought I'd go for a walk you know. Get those creative juices flowing, see if I can get a song out of it."
"Go ahead then, but take your phone just in case. We don't know what's around here."
"Thanks." I smiled and ran inside up to my room and got out one of my guitars. I'd been trying to put together enough songs for what could be classed as a demo album, so I could send it off to an agent. So far I had…none. Well, of course I had songs, tons and tons of them. But none that I thought were good enough. But hopefully Forks will give me some inspiration. I then grabbed my phone and shoved it in the pocket of my jeans.
"See you later!" I said as I passed my brother.
I just heard him say bye as I wondering into the edges of the forest that was laid out in front of my house. I couldn't wait to explore it. I slung my guitar over my back and plugged in my ipod. I wondered through the tree's and branches that were on the floor. I really started to wish I'd brought my camera, there were so many beautiful sights along here. I'd have to come back, seeing as tomorrow is a Saturday.
Finally I found a really big lake and decided to sit down and try and sing something or write. Whatever came to me. I started to scribble a few lines down when I heard a rustling behind me, I looked over my shoulder and saw nothing.
"Weird." I mouthed to myself. Suddenly something came to my head, so I started to play my guitar, not quite sure where it was coming from but I was going along with it. I then started to hum along and then I heard the rustling again but from a different place. I jumped up.
"Who's there?" I gabbed a stick and waves it about.
"Hello?" I dropped the stick when I realized nothing was there. Well, thought. I turned around and then I heard a that very stick snap. I slowly turned to face whatever was there and looked to see a reddish wolf staring up at me with the most beautiful brown eyes. I felt like the wolf was looking into my soul. And I wasn't scared. Suddenly the wolf leaped at me knocking me over and then began to lick at my face. I giggled.
"Erm, hi." He licked me again.
"Im Alyssa." I liked using Alyssa more than Kiara. This could be a special thing for me and the wolf though.
"Well, you're hardly going to tell me yours. I should guess maybe?" He nodded.
"Okay. Tom? Joe? Wolfy?!!" He coughed a laugh.
"No. Nick? Kevin? Paul? Sam?" He looked at me as if I was getting closer.
"I think im gonna give up." He kinda pouted. I stoked his head.
"Man, you're cute." His tongue rolled out the side of his mouth before he walked over to my guitar.
"You wanna hear me sing?" He nodded.
"Okay, here it goes."
" Since the day they got married
He'd been praying for a little baby boy
Someone he could take fishing
Throw the football and be his pride and joy
He could already see him holding that trophy
Taking his team to state
But when the nurse came in with a little pink blanket
All those big dreams changed
And now he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet littleBeautiful, wonderful, perfect all-American girl.."
"Its only the beginning of it. You like?" He sat there with his mouth hanging open. I laughed.
"I totally take that as a yes." The wolf walked over to me and nuzzled into my side. We sat there for a little while whilst I came up with some more lyrics. Soon enough it began to get dark so I decided to head home.
"Im sorry boy, I've gotta go now. But I'll come see you tomorrow in the morning yeah? Im off to see my friend Jacob tomorrow as well." The wolf cheekily smiled and I swear he winked.
"See you tomorrow." I said and walked off through the forest and back to the house.
* * * *
"Night, mom." I kissed her cheek.
"Night, honey." I grabbed my drink and made my way up to my new bedroom. It was practically bare, the walls were plain white and it was packed with boxes. I walked over to the huge window and sat on the ledge. The night was beautiful, the moon was high in sky and stars were dotted around it. I think I could get used to this place ya'know. I turned my light off and get into bed.
Sweet dreams.
