A/N hey guys, sorry. I know I haven't updated in a while, but here's a new chapter and I PROMISE to try to update sooner, so with that said, here's chapter 2 :D
When I told Charlie I was going to move to Forks, he was honestly surprised. My guess was that he was wondering why I would move there at all. At least he had some company now– and someone to cook food besides eggs and bacon. My mother's reaction was quite the same. Although, I could tell she was really going to miss me. Well, now she can travel with Phil.
Renee and Charlie bought my plane ticket for Monday, so I had today and tomorrow to pack what little winter clothes I had. Renee was going to take me out shopping on Sunday, which I was not going to enjoy. I hated shopping.
The two last days that I had in Phoenix passed by quickly with no events. I didn't have time to read more of Twilight, though I really wanted to. All I had to do was tell myself that I had time to read on the plane and when I arrived at Forks.
Monday came and it was time to say goodbye. My mom really didn't want me to go.
"Why don't you just stay? I can stay home, I don't have to travel, honey." My mom begged.
"Mom, calm down, it's okay. I want to go, I promise to email you whenever I get the chance."
And after a quick hug, I hopped on the plane with my fate in my bag. I read about fifty pages then put it away, deciding to save it so I could see the characters and places for myself.
When I landed and saw Charlie, I remembered about the truck he got me, but I decided to keep my mouth shut.
"Hi, Dad," I said with a smile.
"Hey Bells. How have you been?"
"Good."
We got my luggage and it all fit in the trunk of the cruiser– which the book had predicted. The drive home was silent, but it wasn't really awkward.
The closer we got to the house, I found myself getting more and more anxious for school in the morning. And unlike me in the book, I wasn't going to cry tonight. I was confident that the book was right about Edward and I, so I knew that coming here was a good idea.
As soon as I got home, I unpacked my stuff and went to bed as soon as I could so that the morning would come that much sooner. Luckily for me I slept dreamlessly and was well rested when I woke up in the morning. I got ready quickly and ran outside where my truck awaited. I jumped in an drove to school which– just like the book had promised– was right off the highway. When I pulled into the student lot, the first thing I noticed was the shiny silver volvo that guaranteed the Cullens were here today.
I didn't really need to go to the office, because I already knew my schedule, but it would be really scary if new girl showed up and she already had her schedule memorized. So I went in there and sure enough Ms. Cope was sitting there in her purple t-shirt.
"Hi, um I'm Isabella Swan," I told her, though she probably already knew.
"Of course, I have your schedule right here, and a map of the school."
It was word for word which didn't really surprise me– I had been expecting it– but it never ceased to amaze me. And every time something like this happened the same thing came into my mind: How the hell did Stephenie Meyer predict the future?
I walked to English, and saw Eric Yorkie already sitting. I sighed. I gave Mr. Mason my slip and went to my seat. I didn't bother to look at my reading list, because that was one of the other things I had memorized. English was boring, and I just couldn't wait until Biology, where I would get to sit next to Edward. I'd have to remember to sit as far away from him as possible so my scent wouldn't be quite as bad. It was a good thing he couldn't read my mind, because I already knew everything about him and I couldn't have him move away.
After English, I anticipated Eric to walk me to Government– which he did.
"Um, hi," I said.
"Hi, I'm Eric Yorkie, you must be Isabella," he replied.
"Bella." I corrected. Even though I knew it was going to happen, it still irritated me.
"Well Bella, what's your next class?"
"Government, with Jefferson in building six."
"I'm going to building four, but I can walk you there," He offered.
"That's okay, I already know where it is, but thanks."
And with that I rushed away, only to trip over my own two feet. Everyone within fifty feet of me pointed and snickered. government went by uneventfully and in trigonometry I met Jessica,but Mr. Varner actually did make me introduce myself to the class and I actually did trip on my way back to my seat. In spanish Jess also sat next to me, but I didn't try to make conversation. Then the bell buzzed and it was lunch.
Oh my god!! I thought, It's lunch! How could it come so soon?! Edward is going to be there!
I used all of my self control not to start hyperventilating in the middle of the hallway. When I sat down with Jess and her group of friends, I noticed them immediately. They were sitting alone, talking amongst themselves with their vampire speed. Edward was more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined. He was pale and absolutely perfect. How could this wonderful person be meant for me? I saw Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper sitting there also, but my eyes were focused only on Edward. When Jess looked at me, Edward turned his head toward me-- he read her mind most likely. Right then, I wished he could read my mind, so I could tell him that I knew he was a vampire, but I wasn't afraid. I could yell, Hello? Edward, its Bella Swan, You're supposed to fall in love with me! But I knew it could never happen. I turned away quickly and talked with Jess and Angela throughout the rest of lunch.
As soon as the bell rang I rushed out of my seat-- determined to make it there before Edward-- and surprisingly didn't trip. When I got there, Edward was already there and I was disappointed. I gave Mr. Banner my slip to sign and sat down next to Edward as far away as I could.
Accidentally I mumbled, "I'm sorry Edward," without thinking about it and he looked at me, resentment and curiosity flaming in his eyes. He turned away from me, and I tried to ignore him the rest of class, but failed.
After class, Edward actually started talking to me.
"What did you apologize for in the beginning of class?" He asked me.
I hesitated before I answered, but figured the truth was the best way to go. "For my scent. I know how it tortures you and I'm sorry."
"How do you know about your scent?"
"Because I know what you are."
"Oh? What am I then?" He challenged.
"A vampire." I responded simply.
"How do you know about us?" He asked in a hushed whisper.
"Does it matter? All you need to know is that I know. But Edward, I'm not afraid of you," I responded as quickly and quietly as I could. "I have to get to gym," I added, and walked away.
