A/N:So thank you so much with the support on the prologue. I had another story and it took a week for a review. This took a few hours so thank you. I am very excited to use polyvore for the clothes. I'll have links for the outfits. I love clothes so I'm looking forward to that part. Yes, I am using my personality for Bella's so don't diss her please. Enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 1
My New Start

So, just to let you know, I have really bad spelling and am using WordPad(My dad is to cheep to get me word) so I'm spell checking with my eyes.

Disclaimer: I own nothing

Bella POV:

I had just gotten off the phone with my dad when they started boarding my plane. I was sporting my new clothes and parting gift from Phil and my mom, a new Juicy tote(A/N: links on profile). I took out my MP3 player, silently begging for a hot gut to sit next to me and not some old pervert. Luckily, I had the window seat so I wouldn't be smashed in between two people. About three minutes after I sat down, passengers still boarding, an old man points at my row and the old lady smiles. The lady sits next to me and just stares and smiles.

"Hello, sugar" The lady says. I take out the ear buds, look at her and smile nervously.

"Hi" I say simply but shes not done.

3 hours later, a life story, her retirement life and her husband snoring loudly, we finally landed in Seattle. I say goodbye, grab my stuff and make it off the plane before everyone else. It was really cold, well January is warm back home. I grabbed my luggage and one of those carts and changed in the bathroom, comfortable sweats from PINK. I walk over to where my dad is supposed to meet me and spot the old couple coming towards me. I quickly look around one more time and spot Charlie- I mean dad. That would is going to take sometime to get used to, I usually just refer to him as Charlie,

"Hey Bella" he greets me, pulling me in to a much needed hug, he understood me much more than anyone else. We drove home in the police cruiser. Did I mention he is the Chief of Police in Forks. We pulled up to the house I grew up in. When i went in it looked very different. New paint on the cupboards, my school pictures on the mantle but other ones too. New carpet and furniture, and then I saw something that shocked me. A women, about 5'5, dark hair medium length and smiling at me.

"Hi" I said with confusion very obvious in my tone.

"Hi Bella, I'm Sue, your dad has told me so much about you." she said stepping forward and pulling me in to an unwanted embrace. I pulled away, looking at my dad, shocked. He had guilt in his eyes. I was furious. We had talked once a week for hours while I was in Phoenix and never, not once had he mentioned her.

"Really, because my father has never mentioned you before."

"Well, Bells, I thought i would wait till you got here.

We had dinner together, at least I didn't have to cook. I got all the details of there relationship. She was a widow, she husband was a friend of Charles. They have been dating for a year, it's fairly serious since she is living here. They said she recently redecorated and that she decorated my room too. Soon I discovered she was really nice, so much better than my real mom. I was still angry that dad didn't tell me, but I could get past that.
Sue took me into my room and I absolutely loved what I saw, there were white walls with one brown wall. A low, white frame bed with drawers on one side. Picture frames on the walls and my own TV(Pico on profile.) I ran over to Sue and gave her a huge hug with lots of thank yous.

Around 11 my stuff was mostly unpacked. I decided I really needed to go shopping. I went to bed a little while later, realizing that for the first time, in a very long time, that I was happy. I am living with my dad, I like Sue and I like myself, the confident, strong Bella. The one I was hiding from. I start my new school in 2 days and I was looking forward to meeting new people. Having people meet the new and improved Bella Swan. I looked around my room one more time, looking at the picture frames oboe my bed. Most were empty except for a few pictures of me with my dad. I saw one that caught my eye. It was a swan. Sue probably put it up there because of my name but swans mean a lot to me. Everyone becomes a swan at some point, when they realize their full potential, when the hidden beauty comes out. Not just physical beauty, but the beauty inside you. My hidden beauty has come out.

A/N: So this is the first chapter, I'm going to try to keep Stephenie Meyer's characters but I might add a few of my own(naming one after my self of course). The chapters will get longer as we go. I thought if I added the 1st day of school part in here it would be too much, so that will be the next chapter when we meet some very important people.
Check profile for pictures!!

Love Lots
Review!
