Gisella's POV
I never really worried about making friends in school since I went to a private school that had at tops 30 kids. Now I will be going La Push Tribal School. The school isn't that big, but it's bigger than my old school.
Now, as I'm standing in front of the schools doors, I'm about to break down and cry. Since this is a tribal school, at least 98% of these kids are indians. I'm going to stick out like red flower in a field of yellow flowers.
"Stop freaking out!" My cousin Danny pulled me out my thoughts and made me jump a little. "I'm as white as a sheet compared to all of you guys! People are going to stare!" I hissed at him.
If I remember correctly, my biological dad is Jamaican but since my biological mom is caucasian, I only have a slight darker contrast to my skin. In the summer, people can't tell I'm Jamaican because it just looks like I have a tan but in the winter, people mostly assume I fake tan but a few realize I have naturally a tan skin color.
"If people stare, let them. You have 16 male cousins and four brothers in this school to protect you. Calm the hell down!" Danny tried to reassure me but my heart was still beating a million times per minute.
"What's your schedule?" Danny asked me as I attempted to open my locker. "Economics, then Algebra II, then Physics, then Creative Writing." I told him.
"I think it's safe to assume that you will have one of us in each of your classes. At lunch, you can sit Dallas, Aiden, Kaiden, Jonah, Milo, Isaiah, and I if you want to. Or other people if you want too." Danny reasoned with me.
"What if-" I was cut off by the bell. "That bell means we have five minutes until class. Let's get a move on it." Danny said as he gently pushed me forward.
After walking down one hallway and turned into another hallway, at the end of it was the class I needed to be in.
"Have a good day." Danny said as he ruffled my hair continued down the hallway and out the doors to another building.
I walked into the class room and I turned my head towards the front of the room where four girls were huddled close together and one was whispering and just as she looked up at me. She immediately stopped talking and raised her head to smirk at me. Her other three friends followed their friend's gaze to me and started smirking also and one even stifled a laugh.
I hurried back to a desk in the back row on the opposite side of the room from the girls. "Let me guess, the Queen Bitch and her followers were talking about you?" A voice beside me said.
I turned my head to the girl who had spoken from the desk beside me. The girl had natural waist length straight, black hair with a heart-shaped face, and brown eyes.
Sensing my confusion, she introduced herself. "I'm Talia Shore." "I'm Giselle Black." I introduced myself back. "And yeah, I think they were whispering about me." I added.
"Don't let them bother you. They give hell to pretty much every girl that 'doesn't belong'." She said using air quotes. "Probably because you don't look like the rest of us in this school they feel the need to talk about you. Don't worry, they don't like me either because I hang out with girls and guys and since I hang out with guys, they automatically labeled me as an 'attention whore'."
"Great." I said with a sigh. I already have enemies. "They won't harm you. They made spread nasty rumors about you but honestly they've spread rumors about pretty much everyone so no one really believes them." Talia said while patting me on the shoulder.
The final bell rang and I noticed that none of my family was in my class. Thanks for lying, Danny!
"Class, we have a new student. Miss. Black, please stand up." The teacher said and turned to me. This cannot be happening. Kill me now.
I awkwardly stood up and gave a small wave. "Introduce yourself, please." The teacher asked. "I'm Giselle Black." I introduced myself.
"I'm Mrs. Gunther and it's a pleasure meeting you." Mrs. Gunther introduced herself and I smiled at her and sat back down.
Class started right after that and I was relived. No more attention on me!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Finally it was time for lunch. After Economics, I had Algebra II which I had with Porter and Benji and that went fast so finally it was time for lunch.
I was putting my books in my locker when Talia approached me. "Hey, Giselle." She said as she leaned on the locker beside mine.
"Hello." I responded. "Want to sit with me at lunch?" She offered. "Sure, if that's alright." I said. "Well, of course!" She smiled brightly at me.
I walked into the lunch room and saw Troy, River, Malik, Simon and Theo all the way across the lunch room from the doors and they were shoving food in each other's faces.
The table Talia led me to was in the back of the lunch room and towards the middle of the back. About four other girls were already sitting there and they were staring at me.
"Hi! I'm Bristol!" A girl introduced her self enthusiastically. Just like pretty much every one else in this school, she had a copper skin tone with black hair but hers was curly and shoulder length. Her bright brown eyes sparkled with happiness.
"Bristol, calm the hell down." The girl sitting next to her said with a laugh. "I'm Kalia (Kuh-leah), by the way." Kalia's about the same height as me with copper skin, and black hair that was put up into a messy bun.
"I'm Erica." The girl next to Kalia said with a warm smile. She also had copper skin but she had light brown hair with blonde highlights.
"I'm Devory. " The last girl said and stuck her fist out so I could pound it. Like her friends, her skin was copper and she had hair that was a little past her chin and was layered .
"This is Giselle." Talia introduced me. "No fucking away." Erica gasped. "Giselle Black?!" Bristol said, shocked. "Dallas wouldn't stop talking about you before you and your brothers came." Kalia told me.
"Are you his girlfriend?" I asked, talking a seat next to Devory. "Yeah. Erica is Isaiah's girlfriend, Bristol is Milo's girlfriend, and Devory's Kaiden's girlfriend." Kalia informed me.
"That girl sitting next to Troy is his girlfriend, Sophie. The girl sitting next to Sophie is Falone, Aiden's girlfriend." Devory pointed over to them and then she pointed in the opposite direction to another table. "The girl sitting next to Porter is Willow, his girlfriend. The girl next to Benji is April, his girlfriend."
"Wow." Was all I could say. I'm going to be meeting a lot of girls soon.
"Well, technically, we're their imp-" Bristol was cut of by Erica kicking her. "Ow!" She cried and glared at Erica and Erica gave her a look.
"Ohhhhhhh." Bristol said as if she just remembered something important. "Is everything alright?" I asked, confused.
"Yeah! I remembered that I had my facts mixed up about something." Bristol said while rubbing her leg. I nodded my head to show I understood.
"Lets go get food." Talia said and we all go up and made our way to where the food was. We all grabbed our own tray, piled some food on, paid, and sat back down at our table.
"Oh shit." Erica said, and ducked her head down. "What?" Devory asked through a mouth full of food.
"Caitlynn is looking over at us." I looked over Erica's head and met eyes with the girl that Talia called 'Queen Bitch'. I quickly duck my head down to pretend I was eating.
"I think she has it out for Giselle." Talia told them. "Go figure." Kalia scoffed. "Always going for the girls prettier than her." "So, every girl?" Bristol asked with smile and that caused us all to snicker.
"Don't let her bother you. Just deck her one in the face if she says something ignorant." Erica said to me. "She's never really liked any one of us. Especially Erica." Bristol told me.
"She probably has every STD known to man." Erica mumbled while stabbing her lettuce. "Lets just leave it at that Caitlynn liked Isaiah but the feeling wasn't mutual." Kalia said.
"Caitlynn sounds like a lovely person." I said sarcastically. "You nailed it!" Talia said with a fake smile and we both started to laugh.
Lunch was over before I knew it and I made my way to Physics. The teacher pointed to where I now sit and it was in the back row once again.
"Are you Giselle?" The girl to the right of me asked. "Yeah." I responded and looked at her. "I'm Sophie, Troy's girlfriend." The girl said with a bright smile. She has copper skin with elbow length wavy black hair.
"Your brother talked about you at lunch. He seems a little overprotective." Sophie said with a laugh. I was about to reply to her when the teacher cut us off.
Before I knew it, the day was over. "How was your first day?" Oliver asked way to enthusiastically as him and I waited for the rest of our siblings to get to the car.
"Alright. I didn't have a mental breakdown." I joked with a wink. "That's not even funny, Giselle." Oliver said, obviously now pissed.
"I'm just joking, drama queen." I said with an eye roll. The rest of my brothers arrived and we all piled in EJ's truck.
"Well I hope everyone had a great day. I know I did." EJ said as we pulled out of the parking lot. "You like your classes or the girls this school has to offer?" Nolan asked sarcastically.
"I think we all know the answer to that one." Preston mumbled under his breath. "Shut up, Preston!" EJ said to Preston and reached over to the passenger seat to punch him. Preston punched back and I knew how this one was going to end.
"Knock it off before you get us all in a car accident!" I scolded EJ. "Okay, Mom." EJ scoffed at me.
"Oh hey, look, a stop sign." Nolan said, pointing out the window at the stop sign EJ just blew. "If Mom or Dad find out, someone in this car dies." EJ warned.
"I'm too sexy to die." Preston bragged. "I vote we kill Preston." I said while raising my hand. EJ, Nolan, and Oliver also raised their hands as in to vote to kill Preston also.
"Mom likes me the best!" Preston yelled at us and that caused an uproar.
"Preston, you're adopted!"
"Can we kill him now?"
"I should've killed you in the womb when I had the chance."
"So glad your room is right across from mine." Were all the responses he got. I was the one who told him he was adopted, Oliver was the one to say he should've killed him in the womb, EJ was the one to ask if we could kill him now and Nolan was the one who said he was glad that they're rooms were close to each other.
We finally arrived home and we all rushed to get out of the truck. Mom came running out the door and grabbed all five of us in a group hug.
"My babies are home! I've missed you all so much!" My mom cried. "Mommmmmmmmm." We all groaned. "Don't cry!" Nolan complained.
"I won't, I promise!" Our mom replied but it sure sounded like she wanted to. She let us go and we all filed in the house. I went to the fridge and grabbed a yogurt and went to the living room and sat down on the couch to watch the TV.
"How's my baby girl?" My dad said as he kissed me on the forehead and sat on the couch beside me.
"Peachy," I sighed. "Aww, don't be like that. This is a fresh start. A new beginning." My dad beamed. I hated when he said that. We didn't need a fresh start to begin with.
"Oh, don't be so sour." He scolded me because my face probably showed my annoyance. "You'll like it here, I know it." He promised.
"I bet." I mumbled. "Your brothers love it here already. It honestly can't be that bad here for you." "It's wonderful, Dad. I really love it here." I said and got up to go to my room and my dad made a heavy sigh.
Of course my brothers fit in, they look like everyone else around here.
I feel bad for being hard on my dad. I do like it here and I know I will end up loving it here but fitting in isn't exactly my forte. Especially with other people my age. Yeah, I did meet some friends today but I also made enemies today.
I went down to the beach after I made sure my mom knew where I was going and after she stood out on the porch to make sure I was really going to where I said I was. If that's not embarrassing, I don't know what is.
I sat right on the beach shore so when the waves washed up, only my feet got wet. I looked out and onto the horizon. The sun already started to set so it created a beautiful scenery.
I turned around to see some teens my age playing frisbee. I didn't see any of them at school today and besides, they didn't look Native American so I assumed that they went to Forks High School.
I got up and walked to the dock and walked right up to the end of it and just stood there and stared off in the distance.
It's beautiful here, that I can't lie about. I've made friends so that's a bonus. I've made enemies, but that's life. Not everyone is going to like me.
Mayb- I was snapped out my thoughts. By what? Being submerged by cold water. I quickly swam to the surface and gasped for air, confused and shocked by what just happened.
I swam towards the ladder attached to the dock and when I grabbed the ladder, a hand was already waiting there for me. I grabbed it and I made my way up the stairs.
"I-I'm so sorry. I didn't see you and I knocked you in the water but if it makes you feel better, I fell in also." The person who knocked me in said.
I looked up and made eye contact with two hazel eyes. He was tall, muscular, lean with light brown hair that clung to his face from getting wet.
The guy smiled at me with a beautiful smile that could make any girl be mesmerized. "I'm Colter."
