Chapter 2: Jacob Black and Forks high school.

Elena's POV: (Opening thoughts)

School tomorrow. I would rather walk then let Charlie drive us. But Bella is not as enthusiastic as me with the walk. Oh well we'll come to a compromise. I hope that people will see us as more then just the daughters of chief Swan. Hopefully.

I hear a vehicle beep from outside and I look out to see a tan van pull into the driveway. Two guys get out, one is placed into a wheelchair. I hear my dad say something as I head for the stairs. Bella, having also heard the beep, met me at the top.

"Wonder who's here?" She says and I shrug.

We head downstairs and out the door. The man in the wheelchair and the young teen stood behind him smile as they spot us.

"Bella, Elena you two remember Billy Black?" He asks us.

I nod. Billy is one of my dad's best friends. He has threeRachel and Rebecca who are twins and Jacob who I'd guess is the teen stood in front of me.

"Yeah," Bella also nods.

"You look good Mr. Black," I say to him as I always use my manners.

"Please Billy," he says looking insulted I used such formalities. "But I am still dancing. And I am glad you are both finally here. Charlie here hasn't shut up about it since you both told him youwerecoming."

"All right keep exaggerating," Charlie says to him as they turn around. "I'll roll you in the mud."

Billy aims his wheelchair at him and aims for his feet. "After I ram you in the ankles."

I shake my head as he chases him and Jacob approaches us as they pretend fight. I hear their banter as Jacob begins to speak.

"Hi I'm Jacob," he says and we smile.

I notice my sister does not take her eyes off of him as she replies."Hey."

"Hi," I also reply trying not to smirk at my sister.

"The three of us used to make mud pies when we were little," he reminds us and I try not to cringe at my childhood memories of Forks. "Along with my cousin Damien."

I was a silly early teen back thenand Damien was once my boyfriend the last time we were here. That did not end well, he wasa few years older and all of a sudden he stopped coming round, three days of disappearing and I rang his mum's house. He said he never wanted to see me and we were over. Apparently he runs a gang now. WHATEVER!

"Right no we remember," Bella agrees patting my shoulder when she notices the look on my face.

Trying to change the subject I glance around at Charlie and Billy. "Are they always like this?"

Jacob pulls a funny face.

"It's getting worse with old age," he replies.

"Good," Both Bella and I whisper as the two men approach us again.

Charlie pats the truck. "So what do you think?"

I glance at him with an eyebrow raised.It's a truck.

"Of what?" Bella asks also clearly confused.

"Your two's homecoming present," he informs us both.

My mouth drops open.A truck. I don't have to ride in the police cruiser. This truck all of a sudden looked like it was worth a million dollars.

"This?" Both Bella and I ask in shock.

"Just brought it off Billy here," he explains to us.

"Yep," Billy agrees patting the truck himself.

Jacob smiles as Bella and I begin to freak. "I totally rebuilt the engine for you both."

"Oh my god!" Bella exclaims and those two climb into the truck but not before Bella hits Jake with the door by accident.

I decide against going in with them.

"It's perfect dad, Billy," I say to the two men smiling. "Thanks."

They both nod as I head back inside. I stop and pull out my phone. I've had it for years... I scroll back... a picture of Damien and I still lingered. Sometimes I still wondered why he dumped me. What could I have done?

The next day I lay in bed, fully awake but unable to get back to sleep and too chicken to get up and start the day.

After what felt like hours of being in bed I get up and head for the bathroom. I don't hear movement in there and the door is unlocked. So I knock and when there is no answer I enter. I try to relax my muscles as I let the hot water run over my body as I consider the possibilities of the day ahead.

Unlike my sister I was quite good at sports and I did cheer-leading back at our school in phoenix. But I decided I wasn't going to do that here. But I need something to pass the time. Maybe find another activity, volleyball or baseball.

When I was finished I got out and wrapped a towel around my body. I leave the bathroom to see Bella approaching with a towel under her arm.

"Morning," she says with even less enthusiasm then yesterday when we prepared to leave for Forks.

I smile and nod. "Morning to you too."

At Breakfast Charlie wished us look but he had to leave to head to the station. After having had enough of sitting and talking among ourselves Bella and I head out. I smile as I hold out my hand for the keys. We had rock, paper, scissored to pick who'd drive first. I won. After today we'd take it in turns each day but we had disagreed on who'd get first turn.

I sigh as I pull into the car park of Forks high.

Our first day at a new school and its the middle of the semester in the middle of the school year. GREAT!

I get out and after a pause so does Bella. There are other students there and one boy has the guts to actually speak to us. The others around him watch curiously.

"Nice ride," he says to us.

"Thanks," Bella replies but I just nod my head.

I happen to like our truck.

After we grab our timetables we realise we pretty much have the same lessons. Except last lesson. I have lab while she has English.

We are trying to figure the way to our first class when a young boy approaches us. "You're Isabella and Elena right? The new girls."

"Bella," me and my twin correct him.

Bella hates her full name so she just likes to be called Bella. At least I like Elena. I am so used to her correcting people I practically say it at the same time. But how did he know we are the new girls? Is this school so small everyone knows everyone by face so we stood out?

"Hi," he continues before either Bella or I could speak. "I'm Eric the eyes and ears of this place. Uh... anything either of you need, tour guide, lunch date, shoulder to cry on?"

I laugh. "I'll bare that in mind."

Even though I am not looking for a relationship I knew he could tell I was joking in my tone.

He chuckles before waiting for Bella's response.

"I'm really kind of the more suffer in silence type," she tells him in an awkward tone.

I glance around to see everyone staring at us. Yep Bella and I must really stand out in a crowd as the new girls at school.

"Good headline for at least your feature Bella, well we will figure yours out Elena," he tells us and I go wide eyed as I hate school papers. "I'm on the paper and you two are news baby front page."

"Uh Eric..." I begin but Bella cuts me off.

She stammers out. "No I'm not. You... oh please don't have any sort of..."

Now Eric cuts her off.

"Whoa chilax," he tells her and I am glad he understands. "No feature."

"Thanks," both Bella and I say.

"Cool?" Eric asks and I nod.

Volleyball! On ourfirst day. Not so bad for me... for Bella... BAD!

I get under the ball and hit it so it goes over the net. As they hit it back I run forwards and spike it. But as they set next and send it over it goes near Bella who freaks out and tries to hit it but not properly. When it come back to her again she hits it and it hits a blonde head boy in the head.

I run over with her as she goes to apologize.

"I'm sorry," she says and the boy does not look that concerned as he turns to us and clearly knows that we're the new girls. "I told them just to let Elena play and not me."

"No... no...no... don't," he begins and I shake my head at his reaction to me and my sister again. "You're Isabella and Elena right?"

"Just Bella," we say together again.

"Right," he says holding out his hand which first I shake and then Bella. "I'm Mike Newton."

"Nice to meet you," I tell him smiling.

A brown hair girl comes over. She is quiet good at volleyball from what I've seen.

"They've bot got a great spike,huh?" She says and I can tell from the look in her face that she fancies Mike but he clearly does not notice her. "I'm Jessica by the way. Elena if you ever want to join the team you'll be welcome. You clearly have a knack for volleyball and I am the captain."

I shake my head. I had decided to just concentrate on my studies.

"It's okay," I smile.

"Hey you two are from Arizona right?" She asks and we both nod. "Aren't people from Arizona supposed to be really tanned. Elena you got the look but Bella..."

Bella nods. "Yeah maybe thats why they kicked me out... and I dragged Elena with me."

We all laugh.

"You're good," Mike says pointing his finger at her.

"That's so funny," Jessica says before we all rejoin our groups.

I wonder if maybe Bella will have a boy soon. First Jake, then Eric now Mike...
