"But mom! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!" I screamed in her face.
"You have to Caleb. It's the law!
"I don't care! I don't know anyone here."
"That's why you make friends"
She was speaking in such a calm voice that it was really frustrating me!
"I liked my old friends better..."
"THAT'S IT CALEB! I GIVE UP!"
As she said that, she stormed off to her bedroom and slammed the door.
Jeez...I thought I was the teenager here... Yes we arrived in one piece.
We found the town fine but then we got lost while trying to find the house.
While we were looking for it we came across the town high school which I shall be attending the next day.
We saw this gorgeous beach which the driver said was called La Push and on it there was this totally gorgeous guy having a run.
Man I wish I could over there and join him!
"Caleb, what are you staring at?" Mom asked me as we drove past La Push.
"Oh nothing...Just thought I saw something on the beach"
Man I couldn't keep this up for much longer...
As we arrive to the house, I see that it looks like something out of old horror movie.
It's old and the paint was peeling off and half the windows were broken.
This defiantly looked like a fixer upper... So we walk in and ewww!
There's old furniture spread out all over the place. Nearly everything has holes in it. There are spiders and cobwebs all over the place. This place is just over all disgusting! As we start unload all the stuff, I decided I better explore the place and choose what room would be mine.
As I go in and out of every room I can see that the previous owners have left all their stuff behind because all over the floor there were various books and vinyl records and beds in nearly every room. So finally I find a decent sized room and immediately start cleaning. I didn't exactly want to sleep in a room full of dust and cobwebs... So I put my headphones in my ears, grab the feather duster and start cleaning. Whilst cleaning I start thinking about various things. I think about school tomorrow.
I am absolutely dreading it! If this school is anything like my last school I was sure to be in hell.
You see at my last school, I was severally bullied. I really don't know why I was though. I guess I was just an easy target. I used to get punched and pushed around nearly single day of my school life for no apparent reason.
So that was part of the reason why we moved. And then somehow I started thinking about my love life. Now...I have no love life. I've never been kissed.
Never done anything sexual in my life. Never had a boyfriend. Never had anyone said that they love me before.
Gee what a great life I've had (!)
By the time that I finish cleaning it is already dark outside. I have no idea what mom was doing. Probably sleeping on the couch. I decide to go down and check on her and see what she is up too.
I was right! She is asleep on the couch. I see that she has done quite a bit of cleaning so now, I don't feel as uncomfortable and disgusting as I did when I first walked in. I dig into linen closet box to find a blanket and put it over mom so I don't wake her up.
And then I decide to hit the stack because I was pretty beat up from all of the cleaning. I walk back up the stairs and into my room.
I get in to bed and start to fall asl...
"AHHHHHHHHH!"
All I can see are these two glowing eyes staring at me through my window...As a start to approach the window, the eyes suddenly disappear. I run to the window to desperately see what was staring at me but, of course I don't see anything.
I go downstairs to make sure that I didn't wake mom up with my screaming. Luckily I didn't so I go back to bed and try to get some sleep.
I hardly got any sleep that night.
Whenever I see closed my eyes all I could see was those two eyes staring at me... So I get out of bed and go see what mom is doing. And then the next thing I know...
"But mom! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!" I screamed in her face.
"You have to Caleb. It's the law!
"I don't care! I don't know anyone here."
"That's why you make friends"
She was speaking in such a calm voice that it was really frustrating me!
"I liked my old friends better..."
"THAT'S IT CALEB! I GIVE UP!"
As she said that, she stormed off to her bedroom and slammed the door. Jeez...I thought I was the teenager here...
(Here we are again, back at the start)
I thought to myself that I had better go to school and get the first day over and done with because I know that if I procrastinated anymore I would just try to avoid it. I find a random pen to take in the kitchen and get some paper from my old school folder. I very quickly have some breakfast and coffee because if I didn't have anything to eat, my stomach would be in knots all day. And then I go and knock on mom's door.
"Come in honey."
I enter the door and sit on her bed. She is lying on her bed so I go and join her.
"I'm really sorry for yelling at you before hun. But you know that this trip has been hard on both of us."
"Yes mom, I know. So I have decided to go to school today so I won't be a burden around the house." I lied.
"Oh thank you so much sweetie! Now promise me you will try to make some friends today huh?"
"Yes mom. Ok I've got to go. I don't wanna be late! Bye mom. I love you!" I say as I give her a kiss on the cheeck.
"Ok have a great day at school! And listen to me, if any of those people give you a hard time, you come straight home and tell me. I don't want Forks to be like it was back home."
"Yes mom. I promise! BYE!"
By this time I am rushing out the door and hopping into the car. While I am driving to the school I keep thinking to myself. "Just ignore them, Just ignore them, Just ignore them" And then I see the entrance to the school...
