Chapter 2: School

There was an awkward silence among us. Not for reasons you might think like I didn't like him or something. We just didn't know what to say to each other.

We were in Charlie's cruiser. He was the chief of police here in Forks. I really hoped there was a bus or something because cruisers attract lots of attention and that was really the last thing I wanted. Being the new kid in a small town was enough of a struggle.

We decided not to tell Charlie about the main reason I was here. There was no way I was going to tell him, at least not till I'm older. And who knows maybe he won't like that idea much. You know what they say about small towns. Small towns, small minds.

We pulled up to a house. It was a two story white house with red shutters and a red wood door. It looked the same as it did 7 years ago. I use to come during the summers here. But when I was 11, I had him meet me in California. That summer was really good. I still remember Venice Beach, hmm…

I shook my thoughts out of my head before Charlie noticed and got out of the car. We walked inside the house. Even the inside looked the same.

I started for the stairs and turned to Charlie "I'm…just gonna." I pointed towards the stairs.

He nodded and went to sit in front of the TV. I heard the baseball game blare through the speakers of the 40" plasma on the wall.

That's what I liked about Charlie, he didn't hover.

My room looked almost exactly the same since the last time I had been here. With lavender walls, and that old rocking chair in the corner. The only difference was that there was now a full size bed in place of a crib or smaller bed.

I put down my bag and starting unpacking. The sad thing was that it only took me 20 minutes. No matter how much I hated to admit it but I would need to go shopping and soon. All I had were light jackets and tan tops, not exactly comfortable in this kind of weather, no matter how much I liked the cold. It was weird but I always liked the feeling of snow, I even showered with cold water.

I decided I should go take a shower now so Charlie could use it later but just as I was about to grab my toiletries, I heard the front door slam open and Charlie yelling "HEY, GET DOWN HERE BELLA! I GOT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING!" it shocked me so much that I jumped 10 feet in the air, tripped on the rug and fell flat on my back.

I got up and ran a hand through my hair to right it again before heading down, almost falling on the stairs too. Charlie grabbed my hand and yanked me out the door, joy permitted his face. He took me to the drive way and took next to an old car. It was a truck, a red Chevy that was rusted but still looked in pretty good condition "So, what do you think?"

"About what?"

"The car, it's your welcome home present. I just bought it off Billy here." He pointed back at a tanned man in a wheelchair and a boy just as well tanned with long black hair that looked oddly familiar.

I looked between Charlie and the car. I smile spread on my face, I hugged Charlie, grabbing him around the neck. He hugged me back awkwardly but when I pulled back, a grin was set on his face "So you like it?"

I put my hand on it "Yeah, yeah. This is really cool of you but you shouldn't have."

He shook his head "Just think of it as a privilege but if your grades don't stay up, you can kiss it goodbye."

I chuckled "Um, you don't have to worry about that. Everything will be fine."

He nodded his head. The man in the wheelchair who I assumed to be Billy came up "Bella this is Billy, Jacob's dad." He pointed at the guy behind him "You remember him, Riana's little brother. You use to play with them in the sandbox."

I nodded in confirmation even though I had no idea who he was. I shook his hand, he flashed me a smile "It's good to see you again, Bella. It's been awhile."

I nodded like I knew what he was talking about "Yeah, you got taller." I blushed. I cursed myself for not being able to lie, or do anything without this incessant blush.

I think he took the blush the wrong way because the next second his chest was against my shoulder "Let me show you how the car works. I fixed it up myself but it's still a bit of a screaming metal death trap." He laughed at his own joke and I failed at giving him one back. Whether he noticed or not was unapparent because he went to the driver door and beckoned me over. As I came near he opened the door and it hit me right on the forehead causing me to fall backwards for the second time today "Oh, shit! Bella, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hit you."

Charlie and Billy rushed over from their mock fighting "Bells, you okay?"

I rubbed my forehead "It's not too bad, I've had worse. I think I'll just go get some water."

Jacob was right on my heels as I entered the house. I started looking though a cabinet for a glass but he grabbed it for me "Thanks." I muttered. I went to the sink and started filling it with water.

He had pressed his chest against my shoulder again, it was starting to annoy me since it was so warm "So Bella, listen, I wanted to ask you something."

I took a gulp of my water "Jacob, I don't like you like that. So if you were going to ask me out, don't. I'm not trying to be mean or anything but I just want to be friends because honestly I can barley remember your sister or your dad, let alone you. So please, just stop."

I don't think his big head processed the information correctly "Okay, we'll be friends," he paused and walked to the door "For now." Then he left. I grunted and thought 'Yeah, for now we'll be friends and then I'll have a restraining order on you faster than you can spell Mississippi.'

I decided not to go back out and instead take my shower. I set it as cold as it could go it get rid of Jacob's touch on me.

When my head hit the pillow I fell asleep.

I stepped pasted the trees to see a large lake and a waterfall cascading gently and soundlessly into the lake. I was wearing jeans and a white tan top but nothing underneath. I felt extremely hot. I dipped my toes in the water. It was cold, really cold and it felt undeniable good. Better than good, great, fantastic even.

I took off my clothes and dived in. Somehow when I came back up, I was on the other side near the waterfall. It was still soundless. The water was shallow enough here to stand and the water, thankfully, it covered my chest.

I looked around at the beautiful scenery when cold, small, delicate, yet strong hands touched my shoulders. Yet I didn't jump, instead I relax into it. I felt light, little, spikes of hair tease my skin between my shoulder and neck. Shivers ran down my spine.

I looked down at the hands that were surrounding my neck now. I could tell that the person behind me was a girl by the slenderness of this girl's magical, pale fingers.

I turned my head slightly to try and look at her but all I could see was her perfectly spiked, devil-may-care, black hair since her head was turned downwards, towards my neck. I gather the breath to speak "Who are you?"

She didn't answer my question and instead covered my eyes with her hand. I waited for this dream to end, no matter how much I wanted it to continue, but it didn't.

The next second I felt a snowy pair of lips against my cheek. I let out a soft sigh as they lingered. The simple touch made my skin tinkle in odd pleasure throughout my body. I think that the kiss to the cheek was only meant to be a peck as she pulled back in an odd second but kept her lips against my skin "You know who I am. You just haven't met me."

A name reached my lips "Alice?"

But before I could finished, her arms slipped away, faster than I could understand or comprehend.

I turned around and looked around for her franticly "Alice! Alice! Ali-" I was cut off by the water, by a bronze flash of hair.

I was pulled underneath the water. I struggled to breath. The pain I my chest was unbearable. It wasn't because of the lack of air but the lack of Alice. It hurt so much that I just swallowed the water in as fast as I could just to end the pain of it all…

I bursted out of bed, breathing hard. I ran a hand through my hair, what was that dream? I never had such vivid as that one. And how did I know her name? And what the hell was the flash of bronze hair that pulled me down?

Before I could think anymore, my alarm went off. Oh, holy crow! School starts today!

I jumped out of my bed and ran into the bathroom to get ready. Which wasn't really safe for me but at least I didn't fall and only tripped twice but I was sure my clumsiness was being stored up for what was to arrive at school. I'd probably have a concussion by the end of the day. I'd be lucky to make it out with my butt bruised.

Charlie left a note on the frigid that my keys were on the counter. I noticed that we literally had no food. I made a mental note to get some actual food this week. I guess he lives off of take out. Thank god, I know how to cook.

I make a quick breakfast of cereal, the only item I could find then I went to the car. It was pretty easy to figure out but when I turned it on, I thought there was a lion right next to me with a bad cold roaring as loud as it could.

Great, now I defiantly won't just slip in unnoticed. This thing would attract the whole town. I sighed but backed out of the driveway anyway. It started drizzling on my way to school so I pulled up the hoodie of my brown jacket. I was wearing that, a red t-shirt and some jeans.

When I pulled into the lot, everyone was staring at me. My cheeks redden as I checked the time. I still had a good 45 minutes before school started so I relaxed. I threw my black backpack over my shoulder and headed out.

I hadn't even taken five steps away from my car when I tripped on my own feet, nearly falling. I brushed it off but my cheeks betrayed me, reddening to the point where I looked very similar to a tomato. I made my way to the sigh that read 'Front Office'.

As if there wasn't enough greenery outside, all these plants were ridiculous. The lady behind the countered noticed me and smiled "Isabella" she grabbed my hand "It, so nice to finally meet, you. Charlie's told me all about you. I almost recognized you when you walked through the door!"

She laughed and I stood there awkwardly "It's just Bella."

She blinked for a few seconds and continued laughing "Okay then, Bella." She reached for a folder and pulled out some papers, as she muttered something about kids with there nicknames "Have your teachers sign this and bring it back at the end of the day, okay?"

I nodded and quickly left. As I got outside I muttered "Crazy, lady."

Suddenly an arm wrapped around my neck "Yeah, I know. But then again, she's always in there alone." I jumped, forcing the arm off me. It was some Asian guy with black hair that was slicked back with what seemed like car oil and he was wearing an all black suit. His hand went behind his head "Sorry, I didn't mean to scary you like that." He held out his hand that was now covered in that fish oil "I'm Eric Yorkie. It's nice to meet you Isabella." He tried making his voice low, and seducing. My stomach turned unhappily at the sound.

I kept my hands away from him and nodded "It's nice to meet you Eric but it's just Bella."

He didn't even seem to be pretending he was listening while he stared at my chest "Right, right." He finally looked back up at my face when I crossed my arms over my chest "Well, how about I give you a tour?"

I shook my head "I'm good. I have a map."

He smiled "Okay, then. You'll know where the boy's bathroom in building 3 is, right?"

I gave him a weird look, then a surprised one. Why would he think I was going to have sex with him? Where are the all boys at this school like this? Before a girl curly brown hair, cute brown eyes, and glasses showed up. She rolled her eyes "What did I tell you, Eric? All teenagers are the same. It doesn't matter if she's from a big town or a small town; she is not going to have sex with you. Now pay up."

He snorted and handed her 20 dollars. She turned to me "Sorry, about him and the bet but he kept acting like an idiot about it. Sorry for using you before I even got to know you. By the way, my name is Angela Weber. It's nice to meet you, Isabella." It seems like everyone knows my name.

I blushed slightly, she was kind of cute but gay radar reads 0 "No, no. It's fine, I just don't like surprises, is all. And it's just Bella."

She smiled sweetly at me "Cool, Bella, then. We should head inside to the cafeteria so we don't get rained on."

She was right, the cloud were completely black. I nodded "Yeah, let's go."

I hope you guys like it! Don't worry Alice will defiantly be in the next chapter. If you seriously didn't get the dream, ether reread it, continue without knowing or just send me a review/pm that says you want to know what it means. Otherwise, have fun reading!
