Hey guys,
I hate to say that my computer got a virus and died on Thursday. I've been crying a lot since then because my dad tried a system recovery and ended up losing all of my stuff. All of my stuff as in all of my music, documents, pictures, programs, basically leaving the computer a blank slate. I'm not allowed to go on the internet on there, so we've been "laptop hunting" on dell dot com. I want a Studio 15 Plum Purple :D. He's calling today to order it.
Anyways, it'll be awhile till I'm at a laptop or computer and can focus solely on my writing. I'm really sorry, I really REALLY am. I did decide you guys deserve a little mini-chapter though, until I can actually write the next installment. I hate having just authors notes, which is probably why I'm doing this. :D.

I ducked my head and hurried through the parking lot, narrowly avoiding being sprayed with rain water from oncoming cars. I stopped for a moment, looking around for the main building. I found it and raced toward it, breathing a sigh of relief as the warm air blasted over me. I sighed and headed towards the office, thanking the lord that there were few people in the halls as well as carpet so my shoes didn't squeak, alerting everyone within thirty feet of my presence.
I walked into the office area, going straight to the secretary. As there was only three months left of school, me going was debated but I decided that having a gap-however small-in my education was absolutely not worth it. The woman raised her head and acknowledged me as I approached the desk.
"Hello Sweetheart, what can I help you with?"
"Well, I just moved here and I need to enroll as a junior," I explained to her. "If you could help me with that I would really appreciate it."
"Of course! Just one moment," she said while spinning to answer the phone. I ignored the usual chatter of answering a telephone in a public place until she could get back to me.
"Honey?" I realized she was now talking to me.
"Oh, yes?" I turned back to face her.
"Here is your schedule; I'm going to assume you are Miss Isabella Swan? We don't get too many newcomers here."
"Yes, I am. Bella, please call me Bella."
"Alrighty then, Bella it is. Here is also a map, and I can assign an office aid to help you find your way around the school if you need it."
"Um, I think I'm okay. I can ask someone if I'm having any problems."
"Okay then," she sounded doubtful. "Make sure you do that."
I thanked the woman once more and then left the office, finding my new locker and tackling the combination lock. I finally managed to get it open, after about three tries, and looked at the vast expanse of space before realizing I really had nothing to put in there, except for pictures that I had extra of in my backpack. I pulled out some 8.5/11 prints of pictures of Renee, Blake, and Charlie over the years. Our family pictures, Blake's last school picture, a picture of Blake and Marie, Renee and Charlie, the whole deal. I hung them all up with magnets that I had hanging in the bottom of my bag from my other locker and stood back, tears forming. I couldn't help but get weepy at the sight of my once-complete family frozen in perfect bliss forever. I sighed and rubbed furiously at my eyes, then closed the locker gently and spun the dial, shoving the slip with my combination into my pocket.
I turned around with my head down, studying my schedule, and didn't notice there was someone behind me until I ran into them. I landed on the ground with an "oof" and looked up in shock. What I saw made me go weak at the knees and tears start falling immediately. What I saw made reality crash down on me and my world shatter, my heart crumble. What I saw was my big brother.
Hey guys, I'm back.
I just want to say, the negative response for the last chapter really killed me. You cannot possibly hold a grudge that big against a fictional character, can you? I just can't believe you guys hate Jake so much that you would hurt me. I don't really know, It just didn't seem right to me. Thanks to my positive reviewers.
I want to reach 110 reviews before the next chapter is posted, can you guys help me reach my goal?
Loves,
Spack
