Getting Ready For School
After Jacob left Charlie told me that he had already got me registered into Forks High School. All I had to do was go to the front desk tomorrow to pick up my schedule. The bad thing was that Jacob didn't go to my school since he lived in La Push so I would know no one at school at all. I went upstairs to the bathroom and began to brush my teeth. After rinsing out my mouth I went and put on my pajamas on. This would be my first night staying at my old home. Everything was the same except for the few changes resulting in a bigger bed and dresser. I noticed that Charlie had added a computer desk and a phone. I looked over in the corner to see the little rocking chair that grandma Dwyer gave me before she passed, still there. I walked to my suitcase took everything out and neatly folded it into the drawers of my dresser. Then I took the blankets, made my bed and laid there until I eventually fell asleep.
It's the next day and I woke early to see Charlie sitting at the kitchen table all dressed in uniform eating eggs. Ewe they didn't look that great. My mom was never much of a cook and neither was Charlie. I would have to make an effort to go grocery shopping after school. I mentioned to Charlie that I would go to the store after school to buy a few things to cook. He showed me where the grocery money was in the drawer by sink. Since I am staying here I would now be in charge of cooking and grocery shopping. He said that was okay with and him then he said his goodbyes after putting his dishes into the sink and headed off to work. I realized that I had woke up an hour earlier before I was supposed to had woke up because school didn't start for another two hours. I looked in the fridge to try to find something to eat. Eggs, Milk, wow there was barely anything in here. I decided to go to the store early this morning. I knew that I would make it back before school started. I got in the truck after putting the grocery money into my purse and drove around until I found the nearest grocery store. Probably the only grocery store for all I knew.
I got out of my truck and walked towards the store grabbing a shopping cart on my way in. The store wasn't that big but it was big enough to buy the main food items you would use cook at home. I picked up some the things I would need to make breakfast. After school I would come back to do a bigger grocery shopping. I bought some bacon and croissants. Charlie had already had eggs at home so that would do. I grabbed the items put them in the cart and moved my way up to the cash register. The store was kind of empty so there was only like one person in front of me. I checked my watch to see that I had just enough time to go home, cook breakfast, and still make it in time for school.
When I got home I went into the kitchen and got to work. One thing was I was nowhere near my dad and mom when it came to cooking. I was actually a really good cook and it was something that I enjoyed doing. After breakfast I went upstairs to get my book bag. Then I went to start up the truck turning on the heat as it was still cold outside. As soon as the truck warmed up I headed towards the school.
When I got there only a few people were parked in the parking lot. I kind of felt a little out of place because of what I was driving but really it didn't matter anymore. I actually liked this truck and I wouldn't want to be driving anything fancy anyways. I parked the truck, got out, and took my book bag and started to walk towards the entrance which was said on the sign to be the main office. I walked inside to see that the office really wasn't that big. There was a counter and a desk behind it and next to the counter was a hallway looking like it leaded to some doors probably to the principal's office. I walked up to the counter and told the lady that I was Bella Swan. "Oh hi Bella I have been expecting you this morning." She started to hand me some paper work. I flipped through the pages of the paper. "Right there is the map" she said as she pointed to it on my paper. "I doubt you will need it with all the nice kids around here. Someone is bound to help you find your way. And there's you schedule have all your teachers sign your schedule and bring it back to me at the end of the day so I can make a copy to make sure you got to all your right classes." I nodded at her and walked back outside.
I sat in the truck for about fifteen minutes until everyone had started to arrive for school. I picked my book bag up from the passenger seat, and then grabbed my map and schedule. Today was going to be a long day I thought to myself. I hopefully it would be over before I knew it.
