Chapter 2
I have woken up late today, I stare out my small window, outside is raining.
I like spending morning time with my family: dad and my cat Minty.
Today however is somewhat chaotic as it's the first day I start at a new school. I hurriedly put food on Minty's tray. I made egg and two stripe of bacon for Pa, he isn't suppose to eat them. But I make them occasionally it makes his day. I love my family.
"I am coming Pa!"
I wheeled him out of his room he said: "Take it easy Kid who's chasing after you, apart from the girls." I smiled. None of my friends share the same sort of bond with their father. But they don't realise it comes from the absence of my mother.
"Oh, Bacon!" I smile again. Like I said, it makes his day.
I pull my hair back and tied it as I stand up to put the dishes away, Pa said my hair is getting long. I know it reminds him of my mother's long hair as it reminds me too. "Son, you know you don't need to move school --" "I know pa," I said as I put the cups into the cardboard. "but it's closer to home so I got more time before and after school." The truth is, I needed the extra hour or two before and after school so I can take care of Pa and house duty, as well as my home work.
"I just figure all your friends - what a shame,"
"But I will make new ones besides, everyone lives 10 mins away from us. Oh crap, I will be late on my first day." I kissed him and left the house in a hurry.
On my way there,I let my hair down for a moment before I pull it back tightly, tying it into a ponytail. I realise I am not nervous about going to a new school at all. I can get through anything as long as my family is alright. It doesn't matter to me that I have to start over. It wouldn't matter to me even if everyday I had to be the new kid if it means good to my family.

"This is Jacob Black everyone, new student." the teacher look at the available seat and said to me "Take a seat, and welcome."
"Thanks". 'So it starts, I thought.
I smile to the girl as i sit down next to her and saw her turn pink. I politely look away, I don't want the same attention I had at my old school.
By lunch more than a dozen people had came up to me, I have introduced myself and listen to whatever they had to say. I sat with some people for my lunch meal but I excused myself as soon as I finished. This is a okay school I suppose. But I wanted some time alone.
I walked aimlessly for 10 minutes around the school ground before I stand under a tree that's over looking the oval. I needed to make plan for the night as lunch break is my only free time before classes starts for afternoon, and then I got to be home to prepare dinner. I didn't notice someone was approaching. "Hey."
I turned to see who has startled me. "Yes?"
A boy my age with pale skin was standing uncomfortably close to me, he said flatly: "This is my spot, I am sorry." with no intention of being rude nor apologetic.
"What?"
"Please find another hiding spot." He didn't look at me.
I replied in a cool voice: "Fine."
I didn't mind. But he was too pale, like he's having a bad day, very bad day. I said to him "I wasn't hiding. Also this would be a terrible place for hiding" I continue half jokingly "What about the roof? Say that building over there, I am sure no one goes looking for you there especially on a rainy day like this." What I meant to say was that no one goes on a roof let alone on raining days with the storms, hence a good hiding place; but of course anyone with the right mind wouldn't go anyway especially in this weather. But immediately I realise that irony isn't funny.
He looks at me, to my surprise he burst out small snickers.
Some birds flew on the tree above us. We stand there in silent as it starts raining lightly. The oval was peaceful.
"I am Jacob" I held out my hand.
"I know." instead of taking them, he hide his behind and said: "Edward."
I gave a weak smile and lowered my hand, feeling a bit turned down. The bell rang in the distance, I walked towards the school but he didn't follow.
"I have a free period." he said. "okay" and I left him there. It was about half way from the tree and half way to the school building when he called out "Hey"
I turned around but he's already behind me, "um..yes"
"What do you think of me?" I frown at him but he is looking at me intensively, lips pursed into a thin line.
"I don't know" I answered feeling quite pressured. Then he blinked, as if waiting for more words to come.
"I think you're having a bad day." I said without think and immediately regretted, "I mean, just because you like look it" then I made it worse. I could see a weird expression on his face, lips were crooked and eyebrows were half frowning, and suddenly he laughed.
Half a minute went by and I caught myself watching him I have to admit he looks good when he laughs.
"I have cold hands" He said as he held out one hand. "Edward"
I frowned, didn't we introduced? "I am Jacob" and I shook his hand. It was ice cold. He must saw my reaction because he took it back quickly. "nice to meet you" He said
"Like wise" I half lied. It was the strangest thing meeting Edward.
But when the day was over, Edward was the only person I could remember by name after the first day of my new school.
I really wish you would review if you liked it. Peace out.
