As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
From whatever
We will still be Friends Forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
ill little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

Chapter 2
Bella (pov)
When I woke up in the morning, I felt that today is going to be a very special day in my life. Everything was the same, but at noon my lonely world changed. At lunch period, I was sitting outside eating my lunch with a book open in my lap, exactly as I did everyday, when I heard a girl clearing her throat. That made me curious- nobody bothered me here; I was the oddball. I was considered an outsider. If I had looked little bit pretty it might have helped. But being "Teacher's Pet" and 'Rich girl' and a total klutz who sucked at sports didn't help.
"God, you would think you hadn't seen a girl before!" the girl in front of me said.
"Looks like it" I smiled at her.
"Hi!, I'm Tanya. Tanya Denali."
"Oh...its Isabella. Just call me Bella," I replied, shaking her hand.
"So, what's it like here?" she asked as she sat down next to me, eyeing the book on my lap.
"Pretty boring, I guess," I shrugged.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
That was how I found my first friend after 14 years. We talked a lot and I found that her family had moved from Alaska, and she had two sisters; her father was a mechanic and her mother a school teacher. She didn't know about my family and I was going to keep it that way as long as possible.
I avoided her when the school was over and ran out as quickly as possible, got in the car and came home. For the first week that was how I spent my school days with Tanya and we were fast becoming friends. Tanya and I were totally different- she had straight,shiny, strawberry blond hair and a figure like a model. She was tall with beautiful, striking blue eyes .There was only one thing we had in common- brains. Yes, she had an average of 97.9 and she was very smart.
By the time second week was coming to an end, we were best friends. She knew many things about me, even my little crush on Jacob, but I was still afraid to tell her about my family. I knew that being rich would intimidate her. When ever she got close to asking me about my family, I steered the conversation to a different subject.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So my stupidity led me to this today. If I had been truthful in the first place, then now I wouldn't be in this predicament.
On Friday our chauffeur was late to pick me up from the school and Tanya, seeing my ride, guessed who I was. She was cross, I mean, furious. She was angry that I hadn't told her about my life, and deceiving her in the process.
Well, my having material things didn't represent the person I was, did it? But when Tanya gets angry, she doesn't listen. I couldn't blame her but; I was desperate to have a friend.
I called her as soon as I got home, I tried to apologize, but she wouldn't come to the phone. So desperate times called for desperate measures, and I wrote a letter trying to explain. I went to her house but she didn't want to see me. In my desperation, I gave the letter to her mom and came back home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There I was on Saturday evening, staring at myself in the mirror as I got ready to go to the benefit ball. The ball where I would get to meet Jacob Black. But how was I supposed to get him to notice me looking like this? The dress was ugly, totally prudish. I didn't have the breasts or hips to go with it and the color made my pale skin looked ill. I bit my lip in frustration.
"Mrs Uley, I look ugly" I told her as I looked disgustedly at myself in the mirror.
"You look lovely, my dear!" she replied in astonishment. I rolled my eyes-in Mrs Uley's eyes, looking prudish covered from head to foot is beautiful.
In the middle of my miserable argument, I got my first ray of hope when Tanya phoned me.
"Hey! I'm sorry, I truly am, I didn't mean to lie to you, but I was just so desperate for a friend,Tanya! I promise I will never ever lie to you again!" I babbled, determined she wouldn't hear me out.
Tanya was silent to a couple of seconds after my outburst.
"Do you mean it?" she asked, her voice a little bit uncertain.
"You are my only friend in this whole world, I would never lie to my best friend, cross my heart and hope to die" I told her firmly. There was a chuckle from the other end.
"We can't have that, can we? Okay, you are forgiven Bella Swan, but next time you lie or hide things from me, I swear to God I will kill you myself!"
I giggled at that, I had my best friend back, and was happy.
"What's up?" Tanya inquired.
"Well, I have this ball thing to attend and I'm hopeless with make up and all this dressing up. You know what? I might take up your offer on that killing thing!"
"It's that bad, huh?" I heard Tanya chuckling on the other end.
"You have no idea," I muttered, glancing at my self in the mirror.
"Hey, why don't I come over to yours, and make it a girls night? I can do your make up and after you come back from this ball thing, you can tell me all about it!"
I was thrilled with the idea and half an hour later Tanya was doing my hair.
"You know what? You should take off your glasses and go with some contact lenses. Do you have any?"I shook my head.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So that's why I was now in front of Jacob Black, on all fours, searching for my purse. What was I supposed to say? Being a klutz on top of that taking off my glasses when I entered the ball room had me tripping me over my own two feet.
"Are you okay, Isabella?" I heard him asking me. Had I knocked my head? Was I hallucinating? This had to be my overactive imagination playing games with me. Then I felt his hand on my arm, helping me get up.
"Th..Thank you" I struttered, lost in his handsome face. He was tall, tall for an 18 year old with a dark tan complexion and black hair. He smiled down at me like an angel, and I think I practically drooled.
"You're welcome, here..." He handed me my purse with a smile and went over to his friends, leaving me utterly speechless.
That was the first time Jacob Black had talked to me and I was over the moon. I had a best friend and the boy of my dreams talking to me. Life seemed pretty wonderful.
I started spending more of my time with Tanya's family and I liked them. They weren't very rich but, they were happy, content with what they had Tanya's parents loved me like one of their own children. My dad wanted me to follow the foot step of our ancestors and I was sent to a prestigious private boarding school in England at the last minute. I managed to convince my dad to let Tanya joining me after little bit nudging dad here and there. We paid for Tanya's scholorship, and although she didn't like it, I managed to convince her, albeit with some difficulty.
That was how my time was spent till I graduated from school.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So, there I was at 18, getting ready to go home. The years had been good to me- I had changed for better. When we returned from England, Tanya and I became even closer, if that was at all possible. I lost my braces and finally had straight teeth; after some serious modern, medical miracle I had my sight back. I had curves, even after I had finally given up hope. I had breasts, hips and a waist line.
The boys started to notice me but overtime I had lose my interest in them . I had my Jake. Yes, we were finally friends. When I went home for the summer vacation, I had lots of spare time to spend with his family and guess what, he was my first kiss-all thanks to a misteleto! But to my disappointment, we hadn't moved beyond that, though that was something I was hoping to change when I went home this time.
And my best friend-well, what can I say? she has changed too. She became more beautiful, if that was possible, and she had been driving the boys crazy with her beauty. I had big plans for my future; both Tanya and I had applied for the colleges back home as we didn't wanted to be away from home any longer and luckily, we had been accepted in to some of them .Tanya had received a full time scholarship from Harvard and we were both hoping to enroll there.
At the airport, we said out last goodbyes before we left- me to the United States and Tanya going to Paris, for three months in an interior design workshop.
Situation's all critical
You've got to look first before you go
If you wasn't too sure then now you know
The situation is all critical
Wait ok you've got to look before you go
Deep in to the darkness where I hide
The monsters are buried down deep inside
You never know when they're satisfied
Buried down deep where the sun don't shine
The monsters are buried down deep inside but
Wait ok you've got to look before you go
You're wasting away
Ok you've got to look before you go
Deep in to the darkness where I hide.

"Come on baby- let's have some fun, shall we?" She whispered in my ear. She slide next to me in the local dinner.
"I'll be waiting outside ," she purred, dragging her nails across my arm suggestively. I followed her, after few minutes.
Bree was the Fork's Chief of Police's daughter. She was currently attending UW and had come home for the vacation. I worked in the Mason's outfitters during the day, and as a mechanic in Port Angeles on weekends.
Bree and I had attended high school together, but I had graduated earlier. I had come home after 3 years and was happy to be with my family. I was happy to be there for them. My family needed me. My sister and I had been close- when the dark times had tumbled upon them, she had been the one to hold me.
I had gone through a hard time fighting and drinking, which was something that had earned me unwanted attention from the Chief of Police, but nevertheless his sister was there for me, while our father learned to cope with his grief through working like a slave in the hospital. Our financial situation wasn't a good one, as we had to pay for his mother's medical bills, but we managed.
Alice was 3 years younger than me, but she was the stronger one in the family. Our mother's ball of energy. She had held me, and helped me to get his act together, and get back on my feet.
Dad had never come out of his little bubble and has been spending almost all his time in the hospital, and doing volunteer work. Alice and I felt as if we had lost Mom and Dad both.
Six months, only six months, then we would be leaving for the place my mother grew up in before she came to States. His uncles had given me the opportunity to make something of myself.
I came out of his internal monologue to the sound of her voice.
"Pick me up at the bottom of the hill and Eddie; stay out of site, will you? If Daddy sees your truck again he'll go crazy!"
I looked at her, suddenly disgusted at myself for this sexual attraction. She was beautiful, rich, spoiled and selfish and she knew it. Despite the fact that I had let himself be used as her whore, her stud, there was nothing beside the sexual attraction between us.
Suddenly I didn't want the clandestine meetings and lustful gropings in the backseat of my truck. I wanted to go to the front of the door of a girl and take her on a date. But I couldn't do that- I was the local bad boy. Her father wouldn't approve. And she wanted someone with money and influence- all the rich bitches are the same.
I decided I wouldn't give in to her seduction.
"Let your dad find out," I said indifferently.
She gasped at my suggestion. "No, I can't do that! He'll kill me! and what about my boy friend?"
"I think then you should let your boy friend satisfy you then, shouldn't we?" I smirked at her and left the parking lot. Bree stood there, her mouth hanging open in disbelief……….
So guys what do you think? Leave me a review .
