The final two weeks of summer vacation flew by, most of those two weeks was spent unpacking and getting settled in. I have now become incredibly familiar with the layout of the town and found where most of the shops were in town. I also found out it is incredibly hard to hide the fact that you new in this town especially when your hair is red like mine, I also never realized how much of a southern accent I have until I listened to myself while talking with some women in the grocery store. Today is the first day of my junior year in a new school, my alarm went off at six am and I was still tired. The dream that I have been having reared its head again last night so I feel drained, I rolled out of bed, got dressed, and dragged myself to the bathroom to begin the process of getting ready. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and then began the fight with my red mane. When the fight was over my hair laid down my back in loose curls, I added a small and simple amount of make-up and headed down to get breakfast.
The dining table had four occupants in various states of being awake. Colton, one of the twins was awake and alert, chatting with our mother while he ate. Edwin was awake but not ready to hold a civilized conversation. Theo, the other twin, was in the same boat as Edwin awake but not talkative; and poor little Greyson was falling back asleep in his breakfast.
"Good morning Gentry." Colton called out as I entered the kitchen
"Good morning Colton and good morning to the rest of y'all" I responded.
There were several grumblings of "morning". Walk over to the pantry to grab some cereal before I turned to my mom to discuss who was taking who to school.
"Mom who am I taking to school in my car?" I asked my mother.
"Just Edwin, I've got the Twins and Greyson," she replied turning to the coffeepot
"Want some?" she asked after she picked up the pot.
"Sure." I answered.
I turned to finish pouring my cereal, and then proceeded to sit at the table to begin eating my dry cheerios. Soon my mother set down a mug of coffee in front of me
"Thanks mom" I said as she turned back to the kitchen
"No problem sweetheart" she chirped.
"Gentry are you really eating dry cereal?" Edwin asked with a look of confusion.
"Yes, is that a problem?" I questioned
"No it's just weird" he said before he went to put his plate in the dishwasher.
I rolled my eyes at him and went to do the same. Just as I was finishing off my coffee my mother called out "Guys, it's almost time for you to leave."
"Alright" I called to my mother, and then I turned to Edwin "Lets rock and roll" I told him as I grabbed my bag and headed out towards my car.
All too soon we made it to Forks high school,
"You ready for this Ed?" I inquire
"Not really, but we have to be" I responded as we pulled into a parking spot next to a silver Volvo. We quickly located the main office; once we went inside we were met by the secretary
"Hello, I'm Mrs. Cope how may I help you" She asked us
"Hi, I'm Gentry Harris and this is my brother Edwin, we are new and we were told to come here to get our schedules." I tell her.
"Ah yes the Harris siblings give me one moment" she replies and turns to grab our schedules "Here we are your schedules and a map. You will need to get your teachers to sign the pink slips and then bring them back here at the end of the school day."
"Thank you, Ma'am" The two of us replied and left the office.
Soon after we left the office Edwin and I parted ways. I headed over to building 6 to where my locker and first class are located. Upon my arrival at my locker I noticed something, they issued me the top locker and I am only 5'1''.
"Great," I mumbled "give the top locker to a short girl."
Then there was somebody next to me "Aw man, Rosie they gave me the bottom locker" the booming voice next to me whined.
I turned around to see a massive brunette teenager standing next to me, at his side stood a blonde with the looks of a super model
"You poor thing." The blonde who I assume is Rosie, replied sarcasm evident in her tone. These two had the looks that could only be found in photo shopped models and it was rather unnerving.
"You want to switch lockers" I asked the guy "they gave me the top one; and going by your size, you are more suited for the top locker than my short self."
As soon as I had finished my sentence the large teenager broke out into a wide smile showing off his dimples, while the blonde gave me a death glare.
"That would be awesome" He said "I am Emmett Cullen and this is my girlfriend Rosalie Hale" He introduced himself and the blonde
"Pleasure To meet you, I'm Gentry Harris" I replied
"You new to town I take it." Emmett asked me
"Yeah, just moved here about two weeks ago from Texas" I told him as I started to put my stuff into my new bottom locker.
I continued to chat with Emmett for a little while longer, Rosalie continued with the death glare. Soon the bell rang to alert the students to start heading to class,
"It was nice meeting you "I told Emmett and Rosalie
"It was nice to meet you too" Emmett called back; we then headed to our first classes of the day.
I slowly headed towards the class that I knew I would most likely hate Trigonometry, first off I don't like math and secondly to have a math class at first thing in the morning was not fun at all. I slowly made my way into the class room, as soon as I walked into the class room most of the class turned to stare at me. I did not let this phase me; I knew that because this was a small town they probably didn't a whole lot of new people, thus making me the new toy. I walked to the teacher's desk, and hand him the pink slip that needed to be signed.
"Ah, you must be Miss. Harris. I am Mr. Varner; you are going to be sitting next to Miss Webber. Miss Webber could you raise your hand" He hands me the pink slip back and I start heading to my seat next to a girl with glasses
As I sit down I turn to introduce myself to the girl "HI, I'm Gentry Harris"
"Hi I'm Angela, so how do you like forks so far?" she asked after she introduced herself
"So far so good," I replied "Its seems to rain a whole lot more here than it does in Texas".
At this she laughed "Yeah it does rain a lot here but you get used to it. Before I forget would you mind if the school paper did an article on you?" she asked.
"Sure, its fine just tell me what information y'all want to know." I tell her.
Honestly it really isn't a problem, I am new to the school so it natural for the students to want to know about the new kid especially in a school this small. Mr. Varner starts off class after the final bell rings. Throughout the class I continue to talk with Angela, who asked me to sit with her and her friends at lunch. This is great I thought saves me from being the awkward new kid in the school trying to find a table. We also compare schedules to which I now have someone I know in my first, fourth, and seventh period.
Classes continue on throughout the day much in the same fashion as the first. Some of the teachers like Mr. Birdie the Advanced English teacher had me introduce myself to the class. I also made some friends in my classes; Mike the overly friendly blonde, Eric the "eyes and ears" of forks high school who seemed to be the kind of kid who would join the chess club, and Jessica a fellow short person with frizzy hair and is a total gossip. Soon the Bell rang signaling the end of fourth period and the beginning of lunch; I followed Angela down to the cafeteria, and after we made it through the lunch line we went to sit at the table with the rest of Angela's friends.
"So for those of you who don't know this is Gentry" Angela introduced me to the table "and Gentry this is the rest of the table, you know Mike, Jessica, and Eric, the other two are Lauren and Tyler" she introduced a girl with pin straight blonde hair and an African American guy.
"Nice to meet y'all" I tell them
"It's nice to meet you too" Tyler replies "so where are you from I noticed your accent."
"You are one of the first people to point out my accent, but I'm from Texas" I tell him.
"Then shouldn't you be tan then?" Lauren scoffs.
"Umm… I am naturally red headed so I don't tan. I just turn violently red then go back to being pale. It really is a vicious cycle." I reply to her question.
I look up at the entrance to the cafeteria when a group of incredibly beautiful people walk in three of which I recognize; Emmett and Rosalie, who I met at the beginning of the day and Edward, the bronze haired boy who I sit with in second period.
"Who are they?" I asked Angela,
However it was not Angela who replied but Jessica "Those are the Cullen's, Emmett is the really big one and he is dating Rosalie, the blonde girl. The little dark haired girl is Alice, she is really weird, the bronze haired one is Edward, and the blonde one who looks like he is in constant pain is Jasper, he is Rosalie's twin."
"Wow six kids, that's a lot and there all teenagers." I comment.
"They're all adopted by Dr. and Mrs. Cullen" Angela tells me I nod my head at this statement.
"Don't waste your time on Edward and jasper though; apparently nobody at this school is good enough for them to date." Lauren tells me, sounds like she got rejected by one or both of them.
I look over at the Cullen's table and lock eyes with a man who has the same face as the confederate soldier who has been haunting my dreams.
