A/N: Kay, now y'all are starting to piss me off. PLEASE REVIEW. Chapters are going to get shorter cuz I have to write more than just Dani and Jared.

Chapter 9- Sofia Cruz

I took a deep breath, looking at my mother in the drivers seat.

"I don't think I can do this, Mom."

"Yes you can. I know you didn't want to move here, sweetie, but everything will be alright."

I nodded, shifted my bag onto my shoulder, and stepped out into the dreary rain of Forks. I walked slowly to the school, only to be intercepted by a kid of Asian decent, who had his arm loosely wrapped around a brown headed, brown eyed girl's neck.

"You must be Sofia Cruz!" The boy grinned. "I'm Eric, the eyes and ears of this place."

"Yeah, I'm Sofia."

"Hey, anything you need, just ask me. I can get it in no time flat." Eric wrapped his other arm around me. The girl scoffed and pushed Eric back and off of me.

"Don't listen to him. He pulled the same lies with my sister a year ago. I'm Daniella Swan."

"N-Nice to meet you." I silently cursed myself for stuttering. It only happened when I got too nervous. Daniella gave a soft smile, her brown eyes twinkling.

"Come on. We'll get your schedual and I'll introduce you to some people. What grade are you in?"

"I skipped a grade, so I'm a Sophmore." I watched Daniella's perfectly arched eyebrows disappear under her bangs.

"How old are you?"

"Fourteen. I just turned fourteen last month."

The shock on her face settled back into friendliness as she held open the door to the reception office.

"That's cool. I know a guy your age. Grew up with him. That was a fun age, fourteen. Good morning Mrs. Cope!"

"Oh, hello, dear!" The receptionist smiled at her. "This must be Ms. Cruz!"

I turned wide eyes to a smiling Daniella.

"Small town." She explained. "Word travles fast. Not every day Carlisle Cullen's favorite nurse's daughter comes to live in town."

"Oh."

Daniella smiled again. I liked this girl. She was nice. Easy to get along with.

"Here's your schedule, dear." Mrs. Cope handed me one sheet of paper. "I would give you a map, but there's a walking GPS next to you."

"T-thank you."

Daniella laughed.

"You have the same classes as my sister and I. If I'm not in one of them, she will be. And she's got first period with us. Makes life easy, yeah?"

I smiled and nodded. Good. At least I'd know one person in each class.

"Why are juniors and sophmores in the same classes?"

"Actually, there's students from every grade in every class. Forks is a small town. There aren't a lot of teachers. One for each subject so we all study the same stuff. The school in La Push is like that too."

Daniella led me into a classroom and over to the tables in the back. There were three people in there already, two boys and a girl. The boys were incredibly beautiful. Like angelically beautiful. They didn't look like they were related, but they must be. I've never seen anyone's eyes that shade of golden hazel before. I didn't think it was common so it had to be a family trait.

The girl was small next to the bronze haired boy at her side. Daniella sat down next to the other boy, who had seemed uncomfortable until she sat.

"Sofia, this is Bella, my sister," Daniella gestured to the girl, who smiled shyly. "Her boyfriend, Edward," The bronze haired boy nodded at me. "And his brother, Jasper."

"H-hi."

"It's a pleasure." Jasper smiled.

"Dani!" A pretty black girl came into the room. She took a seat next to me. "Stan's expanding the bar."

Daniella groaned.

"But there aren't enough waitresses as it is!" She complained. I perked up at this.

"You know, I need something to do. My mom doesn't get home until late, and I get bored really easily."

The black girl turned to me.

"Oh, sorry! I didn't see you sittin' there!" She held out her hand. "The name's Tara. Tara Simms."

"Nice to meet you."

"Still though." Daniella was thinking. "With me, Dawn and Sofia, that's only three waitresses. Sofia isn't old enough to serve the beer, but maybe I can get dad to overlook that. How much is he expanding?"

"He wants it to be like the freakin' Cheesecake Factory."

Daniella groaned again.

"Why does he have to be the second richest being in Forks?" Jasper and Edward chuckled softly.

"I don't know, but it's kind of annoying. I like the way Lucky's is now." Tara also groaned, laying her head on the desk. Bella smiled at her sister fondly.

"It'll be fine. You know I would work there if I didn't already work with the Newtons."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Daniella grumbled. I smiled.

Lunch came quickly, and I had most of my schedule figured out.

I had English first Period with Bella, Tara, Dani, Jasper and Edward.

Trig after that with Dani, Bella, and Edward, and a girl named Jessica.

History with Dani, and Jasper, and Mike Newton.

Spanish with Bella and Edward.

Dani was sitting at a table with her friends, and I got the feeling I wouldn't be wanted. I sat alone at a table, by the windows, eating silently. I jumped when a tray was slammed down at the table.

"I mean really, if Lauren wasn't such a bitch, everything would be fine. But no. Little miss Barbie Doll had to go run her mouth- Bleh! I've hated her since first grade." Dani didn't even look at me as she sat down across from me, as though it were the most normal thing ever. Bella had a thoughtful look on her face, as she sat next to me, Edward on her other side.

"I think she's jealous." A girl with glasses sat next to Dani, between her and Tara.

"Of course she's jealous!" Mike sat on my other side, as Eric sat on Angela's other side.

"Why would she be jealous?" Jessica sat at the end of the table next to Mike, between him and Eric.

"Who's jealous?" A small, pale girl with Jasper and Edward's eyes sat down at the other end of the table, Jasper sliding in and completeing the circle of friends.

"Lauren." Bella replied easily.

"Oh. Because the Swan's are so pretty. That's why she's jealous. Who's this?" The girl smiled brightly at me.

"This is Sofia." Daniella nodded at me. "Sofia, this is Alice." She nodded at the small girl. "And this is Angela. Tyler's sick today, but you'll meet him tomorrow."

"Wait, wait, wait! What did Lauren even say?" Jess interrupted.

"That Tara wasn't pretty and that she was dirt."

This set the whole table, except for Bella, Jasper and Edward into a frenzy of dissagreements. I looked at all of my new friends and grinned. Maybe coming to Forks wasn't such a bad thing.
