A/N: Sorry that I haven´t updated in a long time!! What happened is that these past two months have been really hard. First my parents told me that I´m changing from the school I have been in since 4th grade, leaving all my friends behind. Next my grandma had an accident and broke her leg resulting in her getting surgery and to top it all 4th quarter exams were last week making it difficult for me to write. I hope that this chapter makes it up for the late update. I am writing chapter four so it should be done soon.

Disclamer: I told my friend I owned Twilight and she called the guys in the white coats to come and get me…

Jacksonville is horrible.

Wait, that doesn´t even cover it. It is vile and excruciating slow torture. The heat is unbearable since I am used to the cold and rainy weather in Forks. I can´t believe I used to live here. I barely know how I´m gonna survive my time here.

Thankfully, my mom was the only one to pick me up when I arrived to the airport. I couldn´t have avoided a rude comment if Phil was there, not that I won´t say one when I see him. As soon as my mom saw me, she ran to give me a huge hug and helped me carry my bags to her car which were a lot since Alice had forced me to buy a whole new wardrobe to wear in Jacksonville. She said that this was the opportunity for me to get a new look or something. As soon as we got to the car, my mom started gushing about all that has changed since I left. I really didn´t pay any attention since all the response she needed were a few nods and hmms.

When we reached the house, I grabbed my bags and carried them to my room. I didn´t unpack them so I had an excuse to leave when Phil arrived home. Instead, I went to the kitchen and offered to cook dinner since my mom´s cooking isn´t always edible. I shuddered by just thinking about the mushy goo that was supposed to be hamburgers. I decided to cook mine and Edward´s favorite dish, mushroom ravioli. We discovered our love for this dish one night while we were eating out in a little Italian restaurant in Port Angeles with all the guys. I remember Charlie grew sick of it since I made ravioli for dinner two weeks strait.

Phil arrived just when I was grabbing my dinner plate and a glass of milk and going upstairs to "unpack". I ate quickly and then cried myself to sleep missing the soft lullaby of the raindrops hitting the roof.

In the morning, thanks to me not unpacking like I should have, I now had to rummage between my suitcases for something to wear. I settled for a shirt with a floral design and a pair of black jeans that Alice had bought me before I left. I putted on a pair of converse and decided to leave my hair as always and went downstairs.

Breakfast was… awkward for lack of a better word. I am not usually a morning person and since Phil was there that didn´t exactly made my day. I was hoping he would be gone by the time I came downstairs.

Since today was my first day, mom was going to drive me to school, other days I had to ride the school bus. I also rode the bus to school in Forks. I remember that´s were I met all my friends. I was pulled out of my daydream as we approached the school´s gates.

To say I was shocked would be the understatement of the century. I had never seen a school this BIG. In Forks, the school had only three hundred fifty-eight students in total. In here there were probably more than three thousand students. I hope that I won´t attract any attention in this place. I had never been one in the search for the spotlight. I hate feeling like everyone is watching you. It makes me edgy and paranoid.

I waved my mom goodbye and started searching for the main office. It took my some good 5 minutes to find it but I did it. As I entered the room I saw a lady behind a desk typing in a computer.

"Excuse me, my name is Isabella Swan. I am a new student in here." I said giving her a small smile.

"Oh yes. Here is your schedule, a map of the school and locker number. You also have to bring this note signed by all your teachers at the end of the day. I hope you have a great day." she said dully.

"How joyful." I mumbled sarcastically under my breath. I grabbed my stuff and then went to search for my locker.

I couldn´t help but feel like an animal in a cage. Everybody was staring at me like I had a neon sign strapped to my head saying NEW GIRL. I even checked to see if I had all my clothes correctly. My shirt wasn´t inside out and my shoes were the same color so at least I hadn´t made a fool out of myself…yet.

I found my locker and went to first period. I entered and walked to the teacher´s desk.

"Hello, I´m Isabella Swan.", I said giving her the sheet my teacher´s had to sign. She just signed the paper and sent me to an empty seat in the back. Everybody managed to stare at me, though. A group of girls, cheerleaders I guess by their matching uniforms were staring at me and talking to each other, criticizing me I suppose. A bunch of guys, football players were staring at me and some even winked at me. Embarrassed, I blushed and just looked away. One guy passed me a note. It said:

Wanna have a special welcome with me in the janitor´s closet?

Mike, football team captain.

I looked up to the football players just as a guy with pale blonde hair waved at me with a smirk. I blushed all shades of red and pretended to pay attention to the teacher, who had already started the lesson.

All classes passed the same way. Everybody stared at me, some of the guys flirted at me but thankfully no one else passed me a note like Mike´s. I was on my way to the cafeteria when out of nowhere I crashed with something hard. I tumbled down to the ground and landed on my back. I looked back as a reflex, to see what had hit me. A tall guy with russet colored skin and silky black hair that was cropped short was starring at me with a sorry expression.

"Oh my God. I´m so sorry, I didn´t see you there. Here let me help you.", he said as he stretched his hand to help me get up. I grabbed it and started dusting off my jeans.

"Don´t worry, falling is no big of a deal for me."

He smiled and stretched out his hand, "My name is Jacob Black"

"I´m Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella." I said shaking his hand.

"You are new here right.", he asked as he walked with me to the cafeteria. He seemed to be a nice guy, not at all like the other boys I had met today.

"Yeah, I just moved from Forks, Washington to live with my mom here for two years."

When we arrived to the cafeteria´s doors I was shocked. The cafeteria here was insanely big. The cafeteria in Forks was like one fourth of this one.

"Oh my God. This cafeteria is huge."

"Hey, why don´t you come sit with me so you can meet my friends." Jacob said with a sheepish grin.

"Sure." I said. Jacob seemed like a really cool guy. It was a relief because I was starting to think Jacksonville was filled with players and skanks and nasty people. Jacob was proof that not all people were psychos.

"Hey guys, this is Bella Swan. She just moved from Forks, Washington." Jacob said to his friends. They all said hello´s and welcome´s.

I was starting to feel that maybe my time here won´t be so horrible.

E/N: So there it is guys. I hope you liked it. Again, sorry for the lack of update. The link to Bella´s shirt is in my profile. I didn´t feel the need to put a link for the jeans and converse because their just normal black jeans and black converse. I will try to update soon.

Reviews are better than new friends.

XOXO
