Waking up in the morning I felt a burst of energy.
Stretching I quickly run in to the bathroom.
Looking in the mirror I smile slightly at the twist I set the night before I decide To just leave my hair down in the pattern I created for my self.
Looking at the necklace around my neck i press my hands to it."I love you guys" I whispered to my grandparent.
I will make today my day.
After getting dressed I run downstairs just to be greeted by Bella swan.
Bella was a natural beauty. She had deep brown wavy hair that fell just above her waist her face was thin and oval shaped sported by big doe like brown eyes. her body was petite there was no curves to it but I couldn't really tell because she had on a baggy jacket with skinny jeans .
I blushed slightly "Hi" I excitedly state "you must be Bella" quickly I go to hug her .similar to Charlie she doesn't hug back at first but soon she wraps her dainty arm slightly around me and pats my shoulder a little.
"Hi, you must be Sofia" she smiles a little at me.
"It's Safiyah, actually" I tell her politely. I was use to people saying my name incorrectly.
"Oh sorry" she awkwardly played with her belt that hung limply against her waist.
"It's a okay" I beam her way "Charlie said I would just be shadowing you today,then tomorrow I would go to my own classes".
"Yep" she nonchalantly states. Before I could break the silence The door to the house opens.
"Is everything okay" a voice echoed out. I turn to said voice with a dimpled smile.
My smile briskly dropped when I was met with golden eyes.
An unnatural eye color although different colors then the man in the airplane I couldn't help but feel the same way I did in the presence of this man.
Danger Danger Danger
Why did I feel like I would sink into a puddle. Because my grandparents weren't here to protect me. Because I was weak.
The thoughts wouldn't stop and I couldn't move my body I was frozen in my own nightmare.
Breath. Breath. Just breath.
"Are you okay Safiyah" A gentle deep voice said as my shoulder was grabbed.
And just like that my trance was gone. I looked into the eyes of Charlies; Brown tender hearted eyes.
"Y-Yea I'm okay" "I just spaced out there for a minute" I scratched my head as I grinned at him.
"Sorry"
"just call me space cadet" looking at the boy I give him a smile "my names Safiyah" I announce stretching my hand to shake it. He uneasily shakes my hand but give me a smile nonetheless.
"Edward"
I flinch at the coldness of his hand. I wanted to pull away, I wanted to runaway.
Why?
Feeling the tension Bella asked
"Is it cool if we go in my car" directing her question to Edward. immediately guilt strikes me I didn't want her to go out of her way just because of me.
"No it's okay" I tell her trying to give her a smile that didn't scream help me.
We all leave but not before I give Charlie a tight hug. He kisses my head telling me I'd do great.
Getting to the car Edward opens the door for both Bella and I. I slightly blush at this gesture. I never really been around boys before, being in an all girls academy my whole life would do that. it was new to see chivalry up close.
All my friends said it was dead.
Blink
Walk straight
Head up
Shoulders down
And maybe you'll blend in.
Walking down the aisle I look to my left and see Bella and Edward holding hands. They were unnatural natural in a way. As if they knew the exact moment the other would move.
I look straight trying to hide my nerve with a smile. "Bella...and Edward" A boyish voice said I look to see a dirty blonde boy with the most extreme clear blue eyes. His eyes reeked of confidence. He was as tall as Edward with a sharp jaw line and a long straight nose that complimented his face.
I blushed realizing I was checking him out . "Hey" Bella said to the tall tanned boy who looked my way curiously. "Your the new girl right" the boy said excitedly "my names Eric " he said giving me a boyish smile I blushed slightly not that anyone could tell. I smile at him "my names Safiyah " I told him my eyes gleaming, maybe he could be a friend that isn't forced to watch over me.
Taking his camera out he pointed it towards me where I quickly flashed him my famous dimpled grin.
He looked at the camera a little stunned at first."your one of a kind" he smile.
"Is it okay if I post this on the paper" he asked.
"Sure go ahead"
"just make sure you make me look good".
he looked at me with an incredulous look. "I don't think there's any getting better".
Bella broke our conversation with an awkward cough. "Let's go Safiyah" the brunette woriedly looks at the blonde before grabbing my hand and walking.
"watch out for guys like him, okay Safiyah" "all they want is one thing" I didn't understand what she meant by that but I would definitely head the warning.
Through out the day it was relatively good a lot of people talked to me I met a lot of Bella's friends and Edward occasionally showed his face to walk us to class, well Bella to class.
It wasn't till lunch that I found myself in the parking lot watching Bella talk to a buff russets skinned man. Edward was there as well I stood far from the makeshift not trying to be noisy .
My heart pounded slightly when Edward and the deep tanned boy seemed to get closer as if they were threatening each other.
I watch shocked as Bella gets on the back of said tanned boy motorcycle leaving Edward with his own thoughts.
My heart broke for him. I felt bad for misjudging him at first. all day he seemed to be nothing but a gentleman he was everything a girl would want in a man. Deciding to walk towards him he turns to me giving me a forced smile. Before I could stop myself my small hands were wrapped around his lean waist , embracing him into a tight hug. My tight curls covered my content face.
I hadn't had a hug all day and it honestly seemed as though he needed one too.
He didn't hug back yet he rested his hands against my shoulder as if contemplating wether to push me away or not.
Letting go I blush slightly I'd never really hugged a boy before.
He chuckled at me, reaching his hand out he ruffled my soft curls that tended to spiral through the air.
"Sorry about that" he told me disdain on his face. "Bella should be sorry" I assured him.
"If I were her I'd never leave you" I blurted out not realizing how wrong it sounded.
"Not that I'm judging her" I voiced again"I mean we all have our reasons I don't know anything about her and-" he chuckled at my bickering "it's okay" he softly spoke.
I nodded trying to stop my erratic heart."You can shadow me the rest of the day" he spoke I nodded forgetting that Bella was my helper today.
Getting to English I sit next to Edward ignoring the stares that came my way.
"Your Safiyah right" a high belled voice stated I turned looking at a pale pixie haired girl hovering over me, smiling at me her eyes were similar to Edwards yet that seemed to be the only thing similar she had a heart shaped face and a button nose her lip weren't as plump as Edward and she had high cheek bones that made her look alieness.
"Hi"I said smiling at the enthusiasm in her eyes.
"My names Alice, Edward sister" she smirked. I nodded that made sense although they didn't have any similarities they did have one thing in common and that was beauty.
"Before she ask, just say no" he stated next to my ear I wanted to squeak when I felt his cold breath on my nape "she tends to torture her friends".
Alice pouted at him and I giggled at this. I'd always wanted to know how it felt to have siblings. It was okay because I felt as if my old neighborhood were my family alone.
Maybe now that I was in a new environment I'd be able to make a new bond with other people.
"I'll talk to you later" she told me right before the last bell rung and she sat down on the other side of the room.
Half way through class I got bored so I started to sneak peaks at Edward.
He was inhumanly on him seemed perfect the more I looked the more perfect he seemed till he wasn't. He had a scar right below his eyebrow very faint but there.
It made me realize that we weren't all perfect and it gave him character, a story behind him.
I didn't realize I was staring till he turned my way and stuck his tongue out at me. I quickly looked away and bashfully scratches me head "Sorry" I giggled I looked his way one more time "how'd you get that scar" I questioned slightly his eyes widened as he quickly touched his scar and turned to me "you can see it" he looks confused as I nod not meaning to make him feel insecure. He hesitates slightly "I actually don't remember" he tells me honestly "I don't remember a lot growing up" "it wasn't till my dad adopted me that I started making real memories".
"oh" I say to him "my grandparents took me in as well when I was a baby" I looked down slightly wishing they were here with me now.
"so why did you move here,if you would miss them" he questioned surprising me slightly. no one asked me this today it was a question that I was dreading all day.
I repeated my answer a million times today in my head waiting for someone to ask. But now that it was actually happening I didn't know how to react.
I could feel my throat tighten up and the tingles began to form on my legs.
"M-My" I stopped talking when Edward laid his hand on mines "it's okay" he told me "you don't have to say anything if you don't want" he gave me a reassuring smile, I nodded his way.
I felt bad he shared a part of his past with me but I still wasn't ready to bring mine up at all.
"You don't have to force being ready it will come when you truly are" he whispered when the teacher looked our way as if telling us to 'sshh'.
"Thank you Edward" I told helped out more then he knew.
Having panic attacks were new to me, something I had no control over.
But in a second just with the touch of his hand and his soft voice, I had calmed down.
Walking out of school with Alice at my right and Edward to my left I felt placid as I grabbed Alice's arm . She Originally wanted me to shadow her but Edward refused something I felt bashful for.
"We need to go shopping next week" she announced.i giggle at this but accepted the offer something Edward said I'd soon regret.
"You guys have the weirdest eyes" I announced feeling more comfortable with them.
"But your eyes aren't the weirdest I've seen"
they looked at me amusement laced on there face. Speeding up I turn quickly stopping them in there track. "I saw a man with the deepest red eyes" I made a boo face thinking they would laugh me off, but what was granted was shock from Alice and a scrunched face from Edward as if he was angry.
"where"
he announced with a serious tone. My heart pounded at this I hadn't meant to make them mad.
What was so serious about a man with blood red eyes. "um on the airplane coming to forks" I tell them.
What was going on was there something I was missing. Was this man bad?
Did they know him?
Suddenly Alice's face widened it Looked like she was in a trance and her knees looked as if they were trying not to buckle.
"Alice" I whisper touching her cold body.
She gasp as she looks to Edward as if telling him something.
What was going on?
Edward face morphs into a look of regret as he ushers me to his car Alice gives me a farewell before departing.
"Is she okay" I ask.
He ignores my question and opens the door for me.
Anger is laced in me "no" I tell him "not until you tell me what's going on" I wrap my arms together.
I was confused we were having such a amazing time together.
I only knew Alice for one day but I already felt a connection with her.
Had I somehow ruined it with my mouth.
I sadly look down forgetting my glare as tears were threatening to fall I didn't want to cry but I wasn't suited for this drama I just wasn't use to it.
Sure there were catty girls at my school but I was the more cheerful type that couldn't find anything wrong with anyone which led me to having close friends.
Had I somehow changed after the death of my grandparents could I not even pretend to be my old self anymore.
"Listen Safiyah" he tells me putting his hands on my shoulder "look at me" I look up still trying to glare at him.
He smiled at this."You did nothing wrong" "my sister just sometimes gets really bad episodes". I nod in understanding but it still wouldn't explain why they were so weird about the man with red eyes.
"Alice has nightmares about seeing a man with red eyes" he tells me "so when you said that it freaked us both out" he smile my way again "we shouldn't have reacted like that" he tells me reassuringly.
"but don't tell Alice I told you she hates people knowing her weaknesses" I nod at this.
"Secrets safe with me" I tell him.I felt guilty for bringing that subject up.I wanted to apologize but I didn't want to clue her in that Edward told me a secret that wasn't his to tell.
Getting in the car I turn on some music while he drives. He smirks at me as i sing badly to a pop song. "My voice is beautiful huh" I grin at him as he slightly laughs "Yea amazing" he tells me as I belch out a high note. Dancing slightly to the beat I look him over. He was always smiling something I genuinely liked about him.
Getting home Edward got out the car first and opened my door. I couldn't help the butterflies that flew in my chest at this.
Getting out I look up at his towering figure. "Thank you" I tell him "for giving me such an amazing first day" he leered at me for a second.
"Your welcome".
We stayed like that for a moment him looking down at me while my butt perched on his silver Toyota.
Then his phone rang. His smiled turned into a grimace as he looked at his phone. Frowning he bids a farewell.
Oh, I forgot he had a girlfriend, one that lived in the same house as me.
I felt a pang of wrongfulness, had I some how led myself on.
No he was just nice to me, like a breath of fresh air right after your submerged in water. He helped me a lot today. made me feel calmer then I've felt in awhile.
And for that I was thankful.
