STORY OF A BEAUTY
CHAPTER 1
"We're moving to Jacksonville!" my mother,Renee, screamed in my face. I smiled.
"Wow," i said trying to sound enthusiastic. Didn't work, though. I liked where I lived. Pheonix. Renee sighed.
"Oh come on, Bella. Be a good sport," my mom said.
"Why do we have to move?"
"Because Phil is there and he's got a good job," she answered.
"Right," i said simply. Phil. My mom's new husband. She was head over heals for this guy. If he made her happy then I should be too. She has spent most of her life putting me forward. It's about time I began putting her forward.
"It's gonna be great," my mom promised me.
"Sure. It'll be great," I said. I was glad that i put enough enthusiasm in my voice. Well, enough to make my mom believe me.
JACKSONVILLE
"It's warmer out here than it is in Pheonix, but you'll get used to it," Phil informed us as we got out of the stuffy airport. I sighed. I could already feel drops of perspiration on my forehead. I wiped them away. Phil came over to me and put his arm casually but tightly around my shoulders. I breathed deeply through my nose. It was so wierd having a male around me trying to act like my dad. It's been years since my parents divorce. I was sort of used to it being just me and my mom. I went to my dad, Charlie, in Forks every now and then. I used to go once every summer but it was so annoying.
"Come on, Bella. Be a good sport," Phil said repeating my mother's words. I looked at him and smiled awkwardly. What ever makes my mom happy. I told my self.
