MY NOTE!!!!
Okay. So I don't think that there are a ton of people reading my story, but I got 2 reviews so I'm happy. I hope it gets a little bit more interesting now. I didn't want to take a whole bunch of time on the first chapter because obviously, there's only one line with vampires in it!!! What fun is a chapter with only one line about vampires???!!?? I rushed. Hey. It's my first one and I'm only 14. Give me all your likes and dislikes though. I want your feedback no matter how crazy or snobbish or completely insane it is. ;D. okay back to the story.
Disclaimer: My mom says i'm gonna go to a pretty white room with a big shiny chair in the middle of it to help me with my Twilight problem. she just doesn't seem to understand that it's mine. All mine!!! wahahahaha!!!!!!
NOT MY NOTE!!!
Hello
"Wow," was all I could manage to say. How come everyone was staring at me? They were far more interesting than me. They were gorgeous and I knew I could never compare. I was still confused about the attention I was getting when reality snapped back into play. "Yeah, gorgeous aren't they?" giggled Jessica, "Don't waste your time. They're all hooked up together." I wasn't disappointed. How could people that gorgeous not be together? "Those are the Cullens and Hales. Alice Cullen is dating Jasper Hale and Rosalie Hale is dating Emmett Cullen. It's been like that since they moved here from Alaska two years ago."
Hmm. So they were probably the last ones to move here before me. It seemed as if they still didn't fit in after all this time. I started having a panic attack. Was this how their first day had gone too? Would I someday end up alone at my own table because I couldn't name everyone's grandparents in this little town? They were gorgeous and yet they still weren't accepted. No, it was obvious they had chosen this, I realized. I should've seen it sooner by the way Jessica had sighed after telling me that they were taken.
"They look wonderful," I said trying to get more information out of my new friend. "Yeah, but they all live together!" I was a little annoyed by this. So what? But I knew I wasn't being fair. This would probably cause rumors in most high schools. "See, Dr. Cullen up at the hospital, and his wife adopted all of them. Emmett and Alice have been with them for a while and Jasper and Rosalie are like her niece and nephew or something, but their family died."
Wow, the Cullens must have been an even bigger topic of discussion when they first moved in than me. I felt a wave of sympathy rush through me. "That was really nice of them," I wasn't sure if I meant it or if I just felt bad for prying into someone else's life. "Well, I think it's because they can't have kids." Did I detect a little bit of jealousy? I couldn't really blame her, since I was jealous of the flawless kids too.
The blonde haired boy had been talking to his family with starts and stops. None of them even seemed to be paying attention to what he had been saying, except for the pixie like girl with black hair. I was studying her small, but perfect features when her beautiful topaz stare suddenly moved to meet my wide, brown eyed gaze. I blushed and looked back at my neighbor. She had stopped paying attention to me as soon as a boy named Mike from my English class came over. She seemed like she was pretty into him. He had been one of the braver ones who had talked to me. He smiled at me and I quickly smiled back. I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings on my first day.
I glanced again at the faraway table. The one girl had stopped and was sitting as if she weren't real, but a beautiful statue. She had a faraway look on her face. I turned away before they could catch me staring. Again.
People started to slowly seep out of the cafeteria heading to their next class. A shy girl, like me, who was in the same biology class offered to walk with me. I was grateful to be out of the busy cafeteria with all of it's prying eyes. The girl kindly reminded me that her name was Angela, which was very helpful because I had already forgotten and was too nervous to ask.
Biology went smoothly. I had already done what we were working on back in Phoenix. I had a table all to myself too. The boy named Mike looked like he really wanted to sit next to me. I got the feeling these seats were assigned because all of the other boys seemed to be glancing back at the empty seat next to me, just like Mike. I don't know how they managed to stare back at me without getting in trouble. It was kind of awkward.
I could tell that Mr. Banner wasn't a very attentive teacher. We would get along well. He seemed like the type of teacher that was fairly easygoing. I hoped this was his policy on homework too. I was really bored and decided to check what my next class was. I glanced at my schedule. Gym. Gym was the bane of my existence. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid Forks with it's mandatory four years of phys ed. classes. I prayed that biology wouldn't end. At least I was safe in my seat in boring, old, non-active biology compared to gym class, with all it's running and dribbling and…. Swinging! Tennis was definitely not my best sport.
Biology ended a lot sooner than I had hoped. I walked to gym as slowly as possible planning to use the excuse that I got lost as a way to explain why I was late. Sadly, Mike Newton caught up to me after class. He wanted to walk with me to gym since he had it too. "Hurry up Bella or we're going to be late on your first day to gym!" He started to speed up, but wouldn't go fast enough that he would be out of arms length. I gave a sigh and sped up too. The new speed wasn't that much faster, but the change was enough to send me nearly tumbling to the ground. Mike caught me. "Thanks, that probably wouldn't have ended well," I said, giving him a genuine smile while the blush that had found it's way onto my cheeks gradually faded. "Oh, it was nothing. It would have been a shame for you to get muddy and have to go home early to change." Darn it. I could've gotten out of gym. Mike seemed flustered, but before I gave it to much thought, I realized that we had arrived.
I hesitantly stepped into the building that held the gym. It was nice to get out of the rain and mud, but I really didn't feel that much better. I started feeling slightly nauseas as I walked towards the gym teacher realizing that they were playing touch football. The first time I'd had to endure this torture in Phoenix, I'd nearly broken someone's toe. Luckily, the teacher merely gave me my gym clothes and told me I didn't need to change today. I gratefully went and sat on the bleachers. Mike looked disappointed, almost as if he had wanted to recruit me for his team. He would've changed his mind as soon as he saw me play.
As soon as the bell rang declaring school over, I rushed out of the gym and into the heavy downpour that awaited me. I walked into the office and turned in my slip that I had to get all of the teachers to sign, without incident. I was walking back to my truck when I felt a light hand tap me on the shoulder. I turned around to find the pixie-like girl staring me straight in the face. I jumped a little and started blushing when I realized how much I was overreacting.
"Hello, my name is Alice Cullen and I just wanted to welcome you to Forks." She held out her hand. It took me a moment to realize that the incredibly beautiful creature in front of me wanted me to shake her hand. I quickly grabbed her hand trying to make up for my hesitation earlier and mumbled, "Thanks, I'm Bella Swan." I was blushing again.
What a smart thing to say. She already knew who I was, obviously. Why else would she introduce herself? She smiled at me and I managed to barely glimpse a mischievous twinkle in her eye before she turned away and headed towards a silver Volvo parked not too far away. Wow, that was probably the best hello I'd gotten all day.
Question: How can the Cullens have Topaz and butterscotch colored eyes??? aren't topazes blue???? can they be brown too??? yeah i no, how stupid of a question.
P.S. i attempted to break up the story into paragraphs, but i don't think i did a very good job.
