The story Twilight and its characters belongs to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer.
Chapter 2: Setting Up the House
As we drove into town I could see the small stores and the little bits of people talking while walking by them. I could tell people here are really close by the way they interact with one another.
The drive to the house didn't take very long. When we drove into the driveway I was a little surprised. I didn't expect to see such a decent house. What can I say everything on the way over here looked...old. I don't people keep up with the modern look here.
The house was a two story house, it was colored beige, and had a tree near the corner of it.
"We're here!" My dad shouted and then got out of the car. Jasmine had fallen asleep awhile after we left the hotel, she woke up after she heard dad shout. My Dad opened the back of the car then went to open the front door.
I got out and looked at the sky. Forks was just as the book described it. Cold, wet, cloudy. No sunlight at all. Being from South Florida i'm used to sunny days.
I looked around the neighborhood and saw green everywhere, we have woods in the back of our streets were wet and the air was cold and moist. It remained me of when I get out of a hot shower and air cold and when you take those first steps on the freezing floor your feet feels kind of numb.
Next door there was a blue house with a police car in the drive way. Cool, never lived next to a police officer before. I wonder he's hot that is if it's a he. If it's a woman that would be also cool because no a lot of go for the aggressive jobs so policewoman are admirable.
I walked to the back of the car and started to get my things. Then I remembered I didn't pick my room yet so I put my stuff down and ran in the house.
"Where are the rooms dad!?" I asked loudly.
"Up stairs." He said.
I rushed upstairs falling on my knees once. When I got up there I looked around the hallway and saw three doors to the rooms. I turned left and headed to the last room down the hall. The first room I saw had view of the woods in the back, the second was obviously my parents because it was twice as big as the first. The third one was just right, it was kind of the same size as the first, but had a view of the front with the branches of the tree I saw in it. The first bed room had a view of the woods. The room was white with light beige tiles on the floor.
I turned around and saw dad walking into the bathroom in front of my room.
"When is our furniture getting here?" I asked him.
"I called the people they said that they're already in town." He said. I nodded.
I walked into the hallway and saw Jasmine.
"This is my room." I said pointing to the room I just came out of. Usually it's Jasmines that gets the best rooms but not this time.
"Okay." She said, then she turned around and went to look at the two other rooms.
"Beep!Beep!" I heard outside.I went to the other end of the hall to look out the front window.
"Are those the movers?" Jasmine asked poking her head out of her room.
"Yea." I said, then I turned around to her. " I'm going to go get more stuff." I said.
Then I went down stairs to go outside. I saw mom getting some of her things and dad talking to the guys that drove our stuff here. As they started unloading our stuff I asked my mom when do we start decorating our rooms.
"Tomorrow. And did you decide when you wanted to start school?" She asked.
"Next week." I answered. She give the option of starting Monday ,which was three days away, or did I want to start the week after.
"Okay." She said turning around to continue collecting things.
After we got all of our stuff into the house my sister and I planned how we wanted to decorate our rooms using our computer, while my mom cooked dinner. and my dad watched T.V. We already had our cable and internet installed before hand when my dad had came to tile the floors and fix anything that was broken or to old. I could tell that the refrigerator, stove, sinks, toilets, tubs, and all of the windows were replaced.
After we finished picking out what we needed to decorate we went to bed using the sheets we already had. And I got to leave my television on all night. Yay.
The Next Day...
So appearently the stores we checked out online weren't in Forks, they were in Port Angeles. Forks doesn't have a variety of things. Twilight really got it right when it described Forks and Port Angeles.
It was me, my mom, and my sister going shopping. My dad had to see to some business so we dropped him off to the construction business building named Samuels Flag.
While we were out we had a blast. It's always so much fun shopping. Putting everything together in your head like puzzle, then when it's time to put it together it looks so wonderful and you have a sense of pride from your hard work. After we were done we went home to paint our rooms. I chose to pant the top of my room light purple, the center dark blue, and the bottom light blue. I Painted the bottom and top first then the middle to overlap the top and bottom. I made outlines of trees and houses. What can I say I like to be creative.
After finishing I went to the living to make my bed on one of the couches so I wouldn't have to sleep in a room full of paint fumes.
Saturday...
Not all of the smell even with my window open and my fan blowing it out. But I was eager to put everything in its rightful place. At least the paint was dry. I put all forty of my books on the two large shelves my dad put in for me and I put the one green and blue owl sand bag at the end of bath of them to keep the books from falling off. I changed my old queen sized comforter with the new one. The comforter I picked out looked really mature royal, it was a soft purple color with a shout furry texture, so when you slide your hand on it the hairs would stick up and makes a darker purple. Around It was a sliver lavender twist design. My sheets were gold satin. I like to feel mature and comfortable and at the same time like a princess. I put the round lavender carpet on the floor in across from my door and the smaller darker purple rectangle one went in front of my closet, I was finished. I looked at my closet which had all my shoes in order on the floor and my clothes that were hanging up and stuck out colorful together.I sighed content. Its nice to have your own space its calming.
I went down stairs to sit with my family and watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Yea we finished it around twelve a.m. After I ate the spaghetti my sister made I went to bed.
The week passed quietly and uneventful. It was Sunday night.
"Are you ready for school tomorrow?" My mom asked me. We were all having chicken and vegetables at the dinner table.
"Nope." I said. Who wants to start the middle of their high school year. I miss South Florida and my friends.
"You just need time to adjust." My dad said.
"Okay." I said. Yeah sure in a year i'll even be prom queen, I thought sarcastically.
That night I stayed up to three a.m., one of my usual times. If I don't go to sleep late i'm to relaxed to move fast enough to be ready on time. So I go to sleep later so that i'm more alert. I know weird but that's just how I operate.
You know that phrase that authors use in their books when the book starts out boring but you just know it's going to get exciting when you read that special phrase. But the main character is left completely unaware. Well here it is: Little did I know...that my safe and boring life wasn't going be so safe and most definitely not boring ever again.
