I handed my Dad another beer. He took it off me without his eyes moving from the TV.
I sat down in the chair and sighed as my Dad continued to watch the stupid football game.
I sighed louder hoping to get his attention.
"If you're bored Quinn, don't forget you have your own car." Dad said, still not taking his damn eyes off the TV which was being to frustrate me.
I scoffed at him and got up off the chair. I grabbed my car keys off the side and slammed the front door shut.
I needed to let him know he had pissed me off.
I got in my car and sped off the driveway.
The music was blasting from the stereo and I turned it down to give myself time to think.
I had been in a mood ever since Alice had spoken to me and now I was taking it out on my poor Dad and it wasn't his fault. I decided to buy him a present to say sorry.
I drove into Forks town and was shocked by the amount of shops. There were about 2!
At least it was something to stop me moping about the house.
I paid the checkout girl and put the chocolate into a shopping bag.
Chocolate was enough to get me back on Dad's good side. The checkout girl watched me put the chocolate in the bag and then stared at me.
"You're new here?" She asked me.
"Kind of. My Dad is Charlie Fabray." I told her.
She nodded, clearly knowing who my Dad was.
"I still haven't seen you around before." She said bluntly.
Why was everyone in this town so rude?
"Yes well you will be now I am living here." I said, picking up my bag and leaving.
I just couldn't understand why everyone was being so nasty to me. It's not as if I had come to Forks to cause trouble.
I had simply come to live with my Dad.
Was this town so exclusive that they had to approve everyone who moved here?
I angrily walked to the next shop which was a book shop and slammed the door of it shut.
The shop owner looked at me and I smiled apologetically.
"Wow someone is in a bad mood." I heard a voice say.
I turned to Alice looking at me and I sighed.
"Yes well... today has not been a good day." I said, not really sure why I was in the book shop.
I left the shop and heard footsteps following me.
I turned and was shocked by how close Alice was to me.
"Sorry." She smiled, taking a step back.
I stared at her, the stress must have been written all over my face.
"Is there any reason for you following me?" I said.
She just shook her head.
I dropped my shopping bags to the floor and held my head in my hands.
"I'm sorry if I am being such a moody bitch Alice. Everyone in this stupid town is so... rude!" I said, looking at her through my fingers.
I slapped my arms down to my side.
"I guess I am just fitting in." I smiled, laughing to myself.
"It's OK. It's hard being the new girl. I was there once as well." She said.
"Yes it's so hard for the beautiful people to fit in." I said, sarcastically picking up my shopping bags.
"I don't think you realise just how pretty you are, Miss Fabray."
I scoffed and looked at her.
"I'm sorry Alice. You're being really nice to me and I don't deserve it. Maybe I'll take you up on the offer of hanging out sometime." I smiled
Alice smiled back and nodded.
I shut the front door quietly and crept into the kitchen where my Dad was.
He looked up at me and I smiled delicately.
"Here comes the Ice Queen." He said.
"I'm sorry Dad. I shouldn't have acted like such a brat earlier." I said, sitting in the sit opposite him.
I slid the chocolate bar in front of him.
"I suppose you are forgiven this time." He smiled.
Jessica kicked the ball back over to Mike and smiled.
"So did you do anything interesting the weekend?" She asked me.
I shook my head. "Nope, not really."
"Me neither." Jessica said.
"There isn't much to do in Forks. I went into the town and there were like... eight shops." I said.
"No-one shops in Forks. It's pointless. Everyone goes Port Angeles, it so much better up there. It has designer shops, music shops, even a McDonalds." Jessica told me.
I nodded, taking in all that information.
"You fancy going there on Saturday? I need to do some shopping." I asked.
Jessica looked at me.
"Oh I am going on a date Saturday." She said, pulling a sad face at me.
Her comment knocked me off my train of thought.
"A date? Wait with who?" I asked, very intrigued by now.
Jessica shuffled her feet and looked over at Mike.
"Oh my God, you and Mike?" I said, in surprise.
"Sssh, yeah he asked me out." She smiled.
"Nice one." I said.
I stood by my locker, pretending to look like I was doing something when finally Alice walked by.
"Hey Alice." I said.
"Oh hey Quinn." She smiled.
"Erm... I was wondering if you were doing anything Saturday?" I asked kind of expecting her to be busy.
"Nope, I don't think I am why?" She asked, smirking as she did so.
"I really need to go shopping and I heard Port Angeles is the place to go and I wondered if you fancied coming with me." I asked, biting my lip.
Alice smiled.
"Yeah that sounds like a great idea." She said.
I smiled at her.
"I got to run now but I'll speak to you later." She smiled.
I could feel Edward staring at me and it was starting to get on my nerves.
The teacher gave me some science equipment and I passed it straight to Edward.
"OK so if you could please work with who you are sitting next to and identify what the material is by looking through the microscope." The teacher instructed.
I sighed and looked round at Edward.
"Ladies first." He said.
I raised an eyebrow at him.
He smiled.
"See I do have some manners." He said.
I smiled a little and placed the first specimen under the microscope.
I looked through the microscope and then at Edward.
"Not a clue." I said.
Edward smiled again and took the microscope off me.
He wrote something down and I tried to sneak a look.
"Don't panic I'll let you copy." He said.
I just looked at him.
"Why were you so rude to me on my first day?" I asked him.
He looked down at his notebook.
"I am sorry about that. I was... just having a bad day and taking it out on someone else." He said.
I nodded.
"I know how that feels." I said.
"Does that mean I am forgiven?"
"Only if you let me copy your notes as I haven't a clue what we are suppose to being doing here."
Edward smiled the same crooked smile that nearly knocked me off my feet last time and I melted a bit.
Edward did all the work looking through the microscope while I just wrote down everything he told me to.
We had finished before the rest of the class. Edward looked at me.
"So... why did you move to Forks?" He asked me.
"I came to live with my Dad."
"Why?"
"My Mum... erm... she thought it would be better for me to move here." I answered, feeling myself getting flustered.
"Your Mum met someone else?" Edward asked.
"No it's just... a lot went on that my Mum couldn't handle so I had to move away from it all." I said.
Edward looked at me, his eyebrows creased together like he hadn't understood what I had just said.
"It's not like my Mum didn't want me anymore. She still loves me and we speak all the time it's just... you know." I laughed nervously and Edward continued to look at me seriously.
He finally nodded as if realising I wanted to change the subject.
"Alice tells me you two are going shopping Saturday." He said.
"Yeah I was rather rude to her for no reason so I feel like I should make it up to her. Plus my wardrobe desperately needs an update." I smiled.
The teacher finally shouted for us to finish what we were doing and hand him back the equipment.
As Edward handed me the microscope, my hand brushed against his.
A shiver swept through my whole body as I dropped the microscope and it smashed on the floor.
The teacher gave me an angry look but I couldn't pull myself away from Edward's surprised look as his eyes widened.
"Quinn Fabray! Do you know how much that equipment costs? You need to be more careful." The teacher shouted at me but I paid no attention.
"You and Mr Cullen stay behind." He said, realising neither of us was listening to him.
The class filtered out and just me and Edward were left while the teacher spoke to someone outside.
"Your hand was so cold." I said, the thought of it sending another shiver through my whole body. "Like ice."
Edward just looked at me.
"It's a cold day." He said, clearly trying to look for an answer.
I couldn't say anything as the teacher came in and gave us a lecture on treating equipment properly.
He dismissed me and Edward after about 20 minutes and I tried to follow Edward to talk to him but he raced off without even a backwards glance.
I lay in bed thinking about Edward.
His crooked smile, his perfect hair and eyes. His ice cold hand.
Had it just been the weather? No that wouldn't have explained the shiver it gave me.
It just didn't seem... normal.
I finally dropped off to sleep after what seemed like ages.
As the red eyes stared down at me, the scream that had built up in my throat seemed to be stuck.
The laugh that came from the man staring at me was pure evil and I felt the tears run down my cheek.
I didn't have time to think as he moved closer towards me and...
I screamed as I jolted up in my bed.
I heard my Dad run to my room and he hugged me hard as the tears poured down my face.
