A/n: Yay! 2054 hits! Well now more than that. Sorry I'm late. Chuck E. Cheese is disgusting and fun at the same time I almost had to go there today. Are you ready for this MT? And now we must say "ON WITH THE SHOW!!"

I woke up, and the world was different. It had stopped raining. I couldn't believe any of my senses. I also couldn't believe how surprised I was considering how long I had been waiting for this.

I drove through the town, and I don't know why but it called to me. It was like the town wanted me. And I wanted it. I looked around and for some reason I found it perfect, it was the place I wanted to wait for Edward.

The town wasn't perfect, but it was like if Phoenix and Forks had a baby. I was surprised it wasn't called Phorkix. It was big, but not huge. It was so sunny, but it would be easy to get around (for Edward). And best of all it had a huge bookstore and three libraries. I was as close to heaven as I could be without Edward.

The first thing I did was go all around town picking up job applications. The ones that I wanted the most were all at the book store and libraries. I filled them all out as quickly as I could but I realized I didn't have an address or phone number where they could reach me.

I had to go to the post office anyway to mail all of the applications, so while I was there I got a P.O. box. I was surprised at how much it cost. All I knew was that I had better get a job, and fast. I only hoped that my money would last long enough.

After that I looked around for somewhere to eat. I ended up going to a place that had great chicken schwarmas for really cheap. It was super delicious; I devoured it.

As I was driving for no real reason I saw a high school. I don't know why but I wanted to check it out. It was okay because I had nothing better to do anyway except wait, and that was getting kind of boring. I think Edward is the slowest vampire in the history of vampires. It had only taken James like, two days to find me.

I shuddered at the thought of James. It had been months since he had tricked me into coming to that ballet studio, but it still felt like yesterday. I looked down at my scar, the place where he had bitten me and just what-iffed.

What if Edward never got to in time; would I be non-existing or just another member of the undead. If the venom spread and I had become a vampire what would have happened to Charlie and my mom. Would I still be able to say I had a wonderful time with Edward, just waiting for high school to end? One thing was for sure, I wouldn't be here. I would be somewhere dark. And where I was it was light. I had one more what-if. What if I was better off now than I could have been any other way? I was sure that this might just be the best way.

I was angry that again I had to fall asleep to just a recording. This was unbelievably ridiculous; it doesn't take that long to find a human that smells as good as I do. As soon as he got here (and I had explained myself) his ass was mine, or some other punishment that would actually hurt him. After my little angry rant I fell asleep right in the parking lot of the school I had never went in.

The next day I woke up to the parking lot filled with cars. There were also a lot of other teenagers too.

I was too afraid to go in when all of the kids were around, so I waited for the first bell to ring. When it did finally ring, I went in and headed for the office.

It wasn't hard to find; there were a million signs pointing it out. Inside the office there were three doors, five chairs, one old lady and a desk.

I walked straight up to the woman and cleared my throat, but she just kept reading her romance novel.

"Hi I'm Bella Swan; I was hoping to transfer to your school." It sounded really stupid to me but hey, you have to break the ice some how.

Without looking up she said, "First of all, this isn't my school. Second of all you have to talk to the principal." Wow someone is bitchy today.

"Um, well can I talk to the principal?"

"I don't know if you can, but I will tell him on the intercom that you want to talk to him." She pressed a button and then said, "Mr. Man some named um, Berta, wants to talk to you about transferring here." The adventures of Mr. Man and Berta! What was up with this lady I still didn't know her name. I wish it was Old Maid Kregllemeyer. That would be the best.

"Send her in please then, oh and next time please be nice. Please, Miss Kellogg for me." Damn, I was so close at least at the first couple of parts. She was an old maid and kreglle kind of sounded like kellogg.

"Blah, blah, blah, yes sir I will try harder next time."

"That's all I'm asking."

Miss Kellogg turned to me and said, "He's in his office you can go in if you want."

"Uh, sure I guess I will." I turned and went through the door she pointed to.

I was surprised at what I saw on the other side. A fairly good looking guy, in a super crazy outfit and he somehow had a clown nose on his forehead. He some how looked young but you could tell he was older, in his forties I'd guess.

He looked up at me and smiled, but all I could do was look at that clown nose. Seriously what guy who wants respect would put a bright red ball on their forehead.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Zilka, not Mr. Man most people do call me that, but it's not my real name, and it's a real long story so let's move on. I hear you want to transfer hear miss?"

"Swan, Bella Swan. Yes I do I was hoping it could happen today too."

"Well, I don't see why not. Let's see do you have your transfer papers?"

"Err, no, not really, you see it's kind of a long story…"

"Ah, yes you transfer papers", he said as he pulled a file out of it's cabinet and winked at me, "I had them with me this whole time." Wow cool no explanation needed but…

"Isn't this kind of illegal?"

"Not kind of but really. Somewhere in the world it isn't though and we're just going to pretend that we're there while we write this up."

"Wow, thanks a lot Mr. Man."

"Don't mention it, really. So, what grade are you in, what kind of grades did you get last year, and what classes would you like to take?"

"Um, I'm a senior. I mostly got A's. And anything except gym, I have balance issues."

"Okay, twelfth, A's, and no gym. Oh, and I'll sign off as your legal guardian, unless you know how to forge good enough." He held out the papers and I took them.

I signed as Charlie Swan. After I was done I admired my handiwork; I could do a really good Charlie. I handed back the papers.

"Nice job, very believable. All we have to do now is file these and then I'll print out your schedule. Also I can have someone come and give you a tour, it's a pretty large school and very easy to get lost in.

"Sure that would be nice."

There was an awkward silence while my schedule printed out and I stared at the clown nose again. Then, finally the last page finished printing. Mr. Man handed it over to me and stood up. I didn't know why he just really was Mr. Man.

"Well let's go back to the waiting room and wait for your tour guide."

He got to the door first and held it open for me.

"Ladies first?"

"Sure, go ahead Mrs. Woman."

He chuckled, "Ah touché."

I still ended going out first. There was a new kid sitting in one of the five chairs. Whoever it was had a black hoodie on and was all scrunched up in the chair so clothing was the only thing I could say for sure about them.

"Ah yes, Bella this will be your tour guide. I would like you to meet James…"

A/n: Oh what now? Cliffy that's what! Hey MT did you get that nose thing? Hehe, I wish Mr. Man was my principal, he's really cool all we got is a child porno lover with a lisp. Can you say creepy? Sorry for the wait, thanks for reviewing if I didn't get to you I'm trying. Hey did anyone else notice this is a little longer. Well I'm hoping to post another one at 7:00 if I'm diligent enough. Love, Andie's Candies
