Chapter 2

Forks

(Leila's POV)

Green. It was everywhere. The ground was green, the trees were green, hell even the sky was green. I was currently being driven through what looked like a different planet. Where there were sky scrapers and tower blocks in New York, here there was just trees. Trees, trees and more trees. The only signs of life were the signposts and a couple of billboards just visible through the fog that was so thick here. Mom had left me at the airport saying that she needed to sort out some "business" so I was in the back of the limo by myself. I sighed and continued to stare out of the window. A sign caught my eye:

Welcome to Forks-

BEWARE OF ROAMING ANIMALS

So we'd finally made it and, boy, this town looked beyond boring. After about five more minutes of driving, Cameron, our driver, pulled up to the kerb and stopped the car. He walked round and opened the door for me. I stepped out and looked at the house that was facing me.

"Welcome home Miss Green" Cameron said before turning and getting back into park the car.

"Do be serious" I muttered. The house looked, well small to be honest. I was used to either mansions or penthouses. Never before had we lived in a normal average house. And this house was very average. Okay so it was quite pretty I give it that. But still, what was my dad thinking. The house was only two storeys with white panelling and four windows at the front. There was a garden surrounding it with a couple of trees and some flowers. I traipsed up the driveway and pushed the door which was open.

"Dad, I'm home" I called out.

"In here Lee" my dad's voice came back sounding muffled. I followed his voice down a narrow hallway and into a cramped kitchen full of cardboard boxes.

"Dad is this some sort of joke?" I scoffed gesturing to the house.

"No Lee, we need to be more inconspicuous here. This town isn't as... glamorous as New York, people would notice if we were as careless as to flaunt our wealth here" he lectured me, "and this house isn't too bad. It's just the right size for us really. You have your own bathroom"

"Is there a walk in wardrobe?" I asked. I needed a walk in wardrobe. I had so many clothes that a normal wardrobe wasn't enough. Dad looked sheepish.

"Sorry hun no can do here I'm afraid. Anyway most of your clothes are suited for Manhattan weather. Have you been outside here?" he asked me sarcastically. I rolled my eyes.

"Ye-ah. But I can always go on a shopping spree. And I need to keep those clothes for when we go back to New York or if we move again" I protested, "Anyway which one is my room?" Dad looked like he was about to argue but gave up and answered my question.

"First on the left if you go up the stairs"

"Cool, catch ya later"

I headed up the stairs to check out my new room. Opening the door I peered in and sighed. It was decorated in my usual colours of black and white. I loved the way these colours made me feel so insisted on having them wherever we moved to. I suddenly felt tired. We had been travelling all day. It was only nine. Usually I didn't go to sleep until about midnight. I was always up texting my friends or on the phone to Justin even though he lived downstairs. Mostly I was out in the city with a crowd of people from school including Justin and Molly. We just wandered around going in to Subways or McDonald's and sometimes we just went and sat in Central Park. It was so amazing being out in Manhattan at night. The whole city was lit up and it looked amazing. Thinking about New York made me feel depressed again especially as I was stuck here in Forks which is the total opposite of Manhattan. I pulled on my pyjamas and fell into my king size bed. On the plane Mom had told me that I would be starting at Forks High the next day as a sophomore. To be honest I wasn't nervous. I'd done this plenty of times before. I wasn't weird, I didn't look funny, I didn't act strange there was no reason for me not to fit in unless all the kids in this town acted totally different towards strangers. I fell asleep thinking about what I would wear the next day.

My bed was shaking. I woke up with a start thinking that it might have been an earthquake. Then I realised that I was no longer in New York but the small town of Forks in Washington. I also realised that today was my first day at Forks High School.

"Nooooo" I groaned and fell forwards onto my pillow. I heard my door open then the soft footsteps of my mom creeping towards me.

"Morning, looking forward to today?" she asked me too cheerfully. I turned round and stared at her sceptically.

"Do you really want me to answer that?" I asked sarcastically. Mom pulled me up off the bed and began to make it. I ran to my wardrobe and pulled out some of my warmer clothes. I found a pair of jeans, my superman t-shirt and my trusty high top Chuck Taylors. Then I looked at my outfit. Was this good enough for a first impression when my mom was a fashion designer? I dove into the wardrobe again fumbling around until I found the perfect outfit; blue skinny jeans, a swinging paint splattered top that I designed for my mom and a pair of white gladiator sandals. Okay so it wasn't the best weather but I needed to do some serious winter clothes shopping before wearing my "warm" clothes. After I had changed and showered in my bathroom I ran downstairs where dad was eating a pop tart. I personally find them revolting yet both my parents love them. I went to the fridge and got out a cereal bar whilst mom poured me some orange juice. Dad was scrutinising my outfit.

"You're gonna freeze in that Lee" he moaned at me. I rolled my eyes.

"Dad I have no other warm clothes. I need to go shopping. Until I do, this is what I am wearing and if I freeze then I freeze I really don't care" I shot back at him, "Anyway I am leaving now. I'll see you tonight". I turned round picked up my bag grabbed my cell off the surface and headed out into the cold.

"Crap" I muttered. I never realised it was this cold. If I went back for my jacket now dad would totally take the piss so I carried on walking. I couldn't drive yet as my car was still in New York so I was walking to the school which was apparently a couple of blocks away. As I walked I saw more teens on their way. They looked pretty friendly but I didn't approach anyone. I was surprised that so many of them weren't driving to school. I knew that as soon as I got my permit I would be driving everywhere. It was way too cold to walk places in this town and the rain was already driving me crazy. I sighed with relief when I saw the sign for Forks High in the near distance. I'm totally looking forward to getting out of the rain and cold. As I walked into the school I could feel people staring at me but didn't let it bother me, I was used to it; being the "new girl". I could hear the whispers, feel the points but I just smiled. My dad had always told me to smile; it made me seem more 'approachable' apparently. I walked down a corridor following a sign that said Office. It led me to a dark brown oak door and I knocked once. A small woman with grey hair opened the door and recognised me immediately.

"Leila Green? I saw your commercial. You look a lot like your mother. She was in here yesterday you know"

I just nodded and smiled. The lady turned round and I rolled my eyes, something I was doing a lot of lately. It was the same all the time. I was always recognised. The lady handed me a map of the school, my schedule and some sheet that the teachers had to sign. I thanked her and walked out heading to my first lesson; Math.

As I expected when I opened the door of the math class everyone stared. There was no teacher present so I just went in and sat down at a desk near the back. I could see a group of girls in the corner. They looked like they were debating who would come over to me first. A girl with copper hair stood up and came towards me.

"Hi, I'm Daisy Robbins. Are you Leila Green?" she asked me. She was quite pretty with blue eyes. She seemed to be one of the 'popular' kids, probably dating a jock. I smiled she reminded me of Marnie in a strange way.

"Yeah but its Lee, no-one ever calls me Leila except my dad when he's pissed with me" I laughed. This seemed to put her at ease. She sat down next to me.

"So is it true that your mom is the famous fashion designer Melanie Green?" her eyes burned with curiosity.

"Yeah my mom's Mel G" I told her. It was the same every time. In New York most of my friends had famous parents, aunts, uncles and other random family members. Hell even some of my friends were famous. But here in Forks they probably hardly ever got a new kid let alone a famous new kid. I could see them all bubbling with excitement at the thought.

"Wow. Do you mind if my friends come over?" she looked unsure.

"Of course not. I don't own these seats you know" I joked with her. She turned to the group of girls and waved them over.

"Guys, this is Leila, Lee Green" she corrected herself. I got a chorus of 'hi's' and more comments about Mel G.

"Leila this is, Gabby James, Addie Jones, Sally McCarthy and Anita Smith" Daisy pointed them out in turn. I waved at them.

"So where did you live before?" Gabby, a girl with copper skin and dark hair, asked me.

"New York City" I replied smiling.

"Wow you lived in the city" she breathed.

"If you lived there why did you move to Forks?" Anita, tanned and blonde, said.

"My dad's job, we have to move a lot because of it" I answered. I was waiting for the next question; what does your dad do. I had been fully prepped with an answer to this. As I expected Sally, blonde hair blue eyes, asked me that next.

"My Dad works for the Confederation of Family Support. We have to move and he keeps an eye on the area" I lied convincingly.

"Wow that sounds um... interesting" Addie, brown hair, brown eyes, tried to look intrigued.

"It's really not" I laughed and they all smiled. The small talk continued until the teacher came in and we were assigned seats. I was sitting next to Daisy luckily. She seemed nice and so did her friends.

The day sped by. At lunch the girls insisted I sat with them and they introduced me to their boyfriends. Daisy was with Tommy, Gabby was with Sam, Addie was with Call, Sally was with Will and Anita was with Ryan. The boys were all quite fit if I were to be truthful. I hadn't really had many relationships with boys in New York. I was too busy actually being friends with them that I never wanted a relationship with them because I learnt that it spoiled things if you broke up. Plus with Justin being gay I never really thought about dating him even though he was super sexy.

"So Lee, do you have a boyfriend?" Addie asked and I shook my head.

"But what about that Justin Barco guy. You and him are always pictured together holding hands" Sally pointed out. I laughed.

"We're just really close friends. He's my best mate. Plus he's gay. I just don't even think about dating him" I shuddered at the thought and they all laughed.

"Looks like we have to do some match-making then" Ryan joked and I snorted. They all turned to look at me in confusion.

"Sorry I'm just trying to picture the look on my dad's face if I manage to get a boyfriend here" I smirked. Dad was already ragging me about this town not having much variety and we had a bet on to see if I could get hooked in the first six-months. Mom was unaware of this bet as she would deem it inappropriate for my dad to encourage me. It was times like that when I loved having young parents.

"So Lee, what school did you go to in New York?" Gabby asked.

"LaGuardia High in Manhattan" I answered with a smile thinking of my old school. It was about five times the size of this place with over 1,500 students. Here there were only 315 students. There was that many in my freshman class back in New York.

"Oh I could have imagined you at private school or something" Anita looked surprised.

"Yeah my mom wanted me to go to regular school. She didn't want me to become "affected"" I used quotation marks. They all laughed then a bell rang. The girls groaned but the boys looked excited.

"What?" I was concerned. Addie looked at me.

"We have sports now" she moaned.

"Seriously? You do sports in winter?" in my old school we only did sport in summer and that just consisted of running round the yard three times, I always got excused.

"Yeah I know it's crazy and we have to go outside" Sally added in.

"If they think I'm doing sport today they can think again" I said forcefully.

"Coach Cauxall will make you. She's heartless" Daisy told me shaking her head.

"She? There's a female sports teacher. Why would you do that to yourself?" I questioned and they all laughed. We got up and headed towards the changing rooms. The group separated the girls going in to one room and the boys another. I followed after to see all the girls stripping off and putting on sweatpants and old t-shirts. I waited for Daisy and the rest to finish then walked outside with them. The boys were standing by the bleachers talking to a hefty looking man. This 'man' turned out to be Coach Cauxall. She didn't look too pleased when she saw me standing there not changed.

"Miss...? I'm sorry I don't think I got your name" she came striding towards me.

"Leila Green" I told her folding my arms.

"Miss Green. You seem to have forgotten to get changed" she told me sarcastically.

"I didn't forget" I replied simply. The coach looked angry.

"Well then why are you dressed like that? Are you planning to do sports in sandals?"

"No. I'm not planning on doing sports today" I put my hands on my hips.

"Sorry?" she looked taken aback.

"But don't worry about me; I'll just wait over here. You go ahead and do your thang"

"My thang?"

"Yeah your thang. Please tell me you know what thang is" This place was so behind but I was quite enjoying taking the piss out of this sports teacher.

"I don't- I'm not talking about my thang. Why aren't you getting changed?" everyone laughed as she got flustered.

"As I said before" I rolled my eyes, "I'm not doing sport today. Firstly I have no kit and secondly it's freezing out here".

"Do you talk to your mom like that?"

"No" I scoffed. What does my mom have to do with this?

"So why are you talking to me like that?"

"Because you're not my mom" I snorted. Oh shit! Did I just say that out loud? The whole class was now watching us. I could see Daisy and her mates laughing at Coach Cauxall's face. She was turning a shade of purple, as if she were about to explode. Then she seemed to count to ten and let her breath out.

"No-one talks to me like that. To the principal's office. Now!" she shouted in my face and turned to leave.

"Whoa step back" I muttered sarcastically. I didn't think the coach heard but she evidently did as she swung round to stare at me.

"What was that?" she whispered menacingly. I looked in her face. I honestly didn't get on with people like this. There was a teacher like this back at LaGuardia. The many times I had been in detention most of them were from her.

"I said, Step back" I answered cheekily. One look at the coaches face and I waltzed off back towards the school. I heard running from behind me and turned to see Daisy running after me in fits of laughter.

"Oh my gosh. Lee you're such a legend" she squealed through the laughter. We spoke for about five more minutes then she had to run back before Coach noticed she had gone. I continued on my way to the principal's office. I knew from my excursion earlier that it was near the office with a white door. I came to the white door, took a deep breath and knocked, I was going to get so used to this.

An hour later and I was sitting at the kitchen table at home. Mom was across the table unsmiling yet dad was standing by the sink pissing himself with laughter.

"Mick! This isn't funny. It's her first day and she's got a detention and been sent home early" Mom ranted at him. He turned to her still laughing.

"Come on Mel, admit it, it is funny. She just totally reminds me of myself. I never took any crap from teachers either and why should she have to do sports in this weather?" he said trying to control his laughter. I could see Mom trying not to smirk.

"Mick that's not the point. She can't go around being rude to the teachers, it's not on"

"Mom, be serious have you seen the Coach at that school? She looks like a he" I burst out. Dad turned to look at me.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, I could see a hint of moustache and ear hair" I told him straight-faced. My dad was such a child. He began to laugh again and this time mom couldn't help herself. Soon we were all laughing but then Mom was suddenly serious.

"Lee, I'm not trying to be a bore but please, love could you try and behave at this school. I know at LaGuardia you weren't the best student but at least you had Justin keeping you in line. Here you're on your own" she warned me, "and if I get too many reports of bad behaviour then you won't go back to New York at Thanksgiving". I stared at her open mouthed.

"But-"

She cut across me "No buts, my word is final. Keep out of trouble!" and with that she walked out of the kitchen slamming the door. Dad turned to look at me.

"Feisty" he mocked fright. I laughed.

"So what now?" I asked bored now that the drama had finished.

"Wanna play Pack Rat?" my dad was obsessed with this game called Pack Rat which was basically a rat version of Pac Man.

"Sure lets go" I didn't mind playing with him. We got up and walked into the lounge where Dads PS3 was plugged into the flat screen.

"Dad"

"What?"

"Don't cheat" I told him and he laughed as we settled down to a marathon game of Pack Rat.

Soooooo what did you think? You know what i want (and incase you didnt REVIEW ;D)

Sorry no Jasper in this one but i promise he'll be in the next one or maybe the one after it depends ;D

thanks again
