Return to Forks

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight (sniff sniff)

Chapter 5: Eugh Monday Morning

A/N I want to thank twilight-is-lovee for being so nice by helping me with things to do with American Schools because
since I am Irish I wouldn't know about those things. Thank yhoo!!!
You should read her story Perfect Strangers - it is ar fheabhas(great)
I suppose I should also mention that in this chapter Bella is starting Forks Highschool so she is going to have to speak english to some people.

Hmm! Edward! We were lying in a meadow just enjoying each other's company. He had his strong arms wrapped around me and I lay my head on his chest. He was saying something but I couldn't hear what it was. The sun was shining of his gorgeous bronze hair and I felt an urge to run my hands through it like I had done when we kissed. He kissed my head and then made me sit up straight so he could look in my eyes. He moved closer to me and tilted his head. His lips moved closer to mine when I heard a buzzing. It got louder and louder and that's when I woke up. My God even in my dreams I can't get to kiss him again. I sighed heavily and looked at my alarm clock. Eugh six o clock. How am I going to manage waking up this early everyday? I could barely get up at half seven back home. Why does school have to start so early over here?

Somehow I managed to drag myself out of my warm, cosy bed and into the cold bathroom. I showered using my favourite shampoo that smelt like strawberries. I thought I'd better smell nice for my first day and all. I went back into my room and dried my hair. I decided to leave it down. Alice had picked out an outfit for me last night but since I was still in a huff with them I refused to wear it. I'm going to dress like me today. I pulled on my favourite Led Zeppelin shirt, red skinny jeans to match and my black converse. I searched my wardrobe for a jacket and managed to find one right in the back. It was simple and black. I looked at my outfit and decided that there was no reason for me to stand out at all. I could blend into the background. I do not like attention, not one bit.

I went downstairs to find Emmett cooking eggs, bacon, white pudding and baked beans.

"Hey Bella, I'd thought I'd treat you to a Full Irish Breakfast as my way of saying sorry about last night. The toast is nearly ready and the kettle is boiling for the tea."

Aw my brother can be such a wee dote sometimes.(Wee is Irish slang for small and dote means cute or nice. something along the lines of that.) It was so sweet of him but I don't normally have that for breakfast because I just wouldn't be able to eat it all. I've never had a big appetite but I remember my granda used to always have one for his breakfast. He was smiling brightly at me, hoping I'd answer in english. Sorry to dissapoint Emmett.

"Go raibh maith agat Emmett. Tá sé an deas." (Thanks Emmett. It's really nice.) I smiled at him hoping he'd understand what I meant.

His smile faded a bit. "I see your still refusing to talk in a language I can understand. I suppose I don't mind too much, as long as you don't keep it up for too long okay?"

"Ceart go leor. Anois, druid do bhéal agus ith do bricfeasta." (Okay. Now shut up and eat your breakfast.) I said motioning to his food. I sat mysel fdown and started eating his cooking. It was wonderful. I surprised myself and managed to eat all that he had given me. Emmett had coffee instead of tea. I insisted to dad that he must have a box of teabags in the house at all times because I loathe coffee. I cant stand it but I could drink tea for Ireland.

After breakfast we went outside to the Emmett's jeep. As we approached Forks High I felt myself get more nervous. I was extremely thankful that I had met The Cullens and The Hales. Emmett let me off at the Front Office and he went to meet the others. It was nice nd warm in the office. A middle-aged woman was sitting behind the desk. She looked up.

"Can I help you?"

"Eh yeah, I'm Isabella Swan." I saw her eyes light up with curiosity and awareness. No doubt I've been the topic of many conversations since my arrival. Knowing Charlie they all probably know all that there is to know about me by now, from my shoe size to what my first word was.

"Ah Miss Swan, I have your schedule here and a map of the school to help you find your way." She said before pulling out several sheets from beneath the counter. She was really helpful. She explained to me where all my classes were and even showed the best route to take to each of them. She also handed me a slip of paper and said each teacher had to sign it before bringing it back here at the end of the day. She wished me luck on my first day. I thanked her on walked back out into the cold. I started walking in what I hoped was the direction of the school when I heard a yell from behind me.

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN!" I stopped frozen in my tracks and several people stopped to stare at me. Great, just what I need, attention. "What on earth are you wearing? Why didn't you put on the outfit I'd chosen out for you?" Alice cried running towards me. I saw Emmett, Rose, Jasper and (sigh) Edward come up behind her.

"Shocraigh mé go caith mé mo chuid eadaí inniú mar tá mé rug beag fearg go fóill." (I decide to wear my clothes today because I'm still a little angry.) I heard them all groan at my answer.

"I told you she wouldn't answer in english Alice, especially with you greeting her like that." Emmett said.

"Lally what have you got first?"

"Béarla."(English) I answered, showing her my timetable because I knew she couldn't understand me.

"Oh great you're in my class. Yay!" She squealed and started dragging me towards a large red brick building. We entered the classroom and hung our coats in the cloakroom. I went to the front of the class, hoping luck was with me and I wouldn't trip over any stray schoolbags. Luck was not with me and I tripped. Thankfully I managed to grab the edge of a table before falling flat on my face. People snickered around me and me being me, blushed crimson. I handed my slip over to the teacher and he signed it. Then he made me stand in front of the class and introduce myself. That's it I officially hate this Mr. what-ever-his-name-is.

"My name is Bella Swan and I just moved here to Forks from Ireland." I heard someone shout "Top of the mornin to ya." I rolled my eyes. That really annoys me. It's such a stupid stereotype. I don't know any Irish person that actually says that. "You probably know my brother Emmett and my dad, Charlie. I like to read and I write and play music."

"Thank you Bella. You may sit down there." Mr. What's-his-name said pointing to the only empty seat. It was behind Alice and beside a baby-faced boy with blonde hair. I tredded carefully down the aisle and managed to not trip. Success! The boy next to me turned and introduced himself. "Hi, my name's Mike," he said offering his hand.

"Hi, I'm Bella. Pleased to meet you." I took his hand. Ew, it was all sweaty.

"Bella if you need anyone to show you around or help you find your next class, I'll gladly help."

"Thanks but eh ..." I was cut off by Alice.

"I'm showing her around."

Mike looked confused. "Oh you know each other all ready?"

"Of course we do. Lally and I are best friends." Alice turned to me and smiled.

Mike looked even more confused. "Lally?"

"Please don't call her that. That's my name for her now buzz off Newtown your bugging me." I thought Alice was being really mean to him. I mean he was only trying to be nice. He turned away and I tried to focus on the class. When the bella rang to signal the end of class, Alice and I rushed out the door.

"Alice, Cád é do fhadbh? Bhí an buachaill bocht ag iarracht a bheith maith." (What's your problem? The poor boy was trying to be nice!)

Sensing what I meant Alice answered. "Bells, Mike Newton is a creep. He acts nice at first, like a gentleman but he's only after one thing and I think you can guess what that is? Trust me on this Bella, you're better off staying away from the likes of Mike Newton."

"Ceart go leor. Tá iontaibh agam duit." (Okay Alice. I trust you) I answered her, nodding me head.

"Honestly Bella, it would be so much easier on us all if you just spoke english."

"Tá fhios agam ach is duine ceanndána mé" (I know but I'm a stubborn person)

"You're just too stubborn I guess." Alice said. I laughed at her. Alice and I shared the next class also and thankfully the teacher didn't make me stand up and introduce myself. That class flew by and I met Mike Newton in the corridor again. He kept bugging me about eating lunch with him but I politely refused stating I'd rather eat lunch with my friends. In the class before lunch I spent the entire time staring at the clock willing it to speed up. Finally it rang. I gathered up my things and rushed out the door. I'd arranged to meet the guys at my locker and then we'd go to the canteen together. When I got there nobody was there so I took the time to get my books for the next class. I felt a presence behind me and turned. It was Mike. Eugh. Does this boy need to be hit with a shovel before he takes a hint?

"So Bella, I was wondering if you want to go to the cinema on Friday night? I could show you around Forks." He moved closer to me and put his arms on my locker so I was trapped between them.

"I'm sorry Mike I'm busy on Friday." I tried to look disappointed.

His face fell a bit but he persisted. "Well what about Saturday?" Could I use the same excuse again. I should've just said I was busy all weekend. Oh crap, someone save me please!

"Sorry Mike but Bella is busy all weekend." I heard Edward say behind him. I sighed in relief. He turned to find a very pissed off looking Edward, Emmett and Jasper towering over him.

"I suggest you run along now and don't ever try and trap my sister again you little worm." Emmett spat out at him. Mike ran off but not before I saw the petrified look on his face.

"Thanks guys." I let them know I really was thankful.

"It speaks english." Emmett said in a mocking tone with a look of fake shock on his face. I could see Rose and Alice dance in joy behind him while Jasper and Edward gave each other a h-fives and I heard Edward say "At long last."

A/N Bella's speaking in english again. Let's all jump for joy. I know I didn't put a lot of Irish in this chapter but it's harder than you think because I'm not that good at Irish and my mum is away so I can't check things with her since she's fluent. I'm not sure if some of the things are right but if you did understand Irish then you could probably get the gist of what I'm trying to say. You will find out Emmett's real name soon. I have a poll up about how everyone will find out so go check it out. Don't forget to read and review.

Btw we still need to meet Jessica, that will happen next chapter.
