AN: OH MY GOSH!! I AM SOOO SORRY! I know that I haven't updated in about a month, and I feel sooooo bad! I've been so busy dealing with homework, finals, friends, and soccer that I neglected my story! I have finals the rest of this week, but after that I'll try to update more often (at least once a week). The next chapter will hopefully be good, but this one was just a space filler with some important info.
By the way, I have a poll on my profile about your opinion of who is with who... and pix of the cars! I already think I know what will happen, but I want some feedback. Vote in the poll, and tell me some predictions of what's gonna happen next. I promise that I'll respond to all reviews (and have real responses instead of the "there's a possiblity" ones that are so annoying) ;P

I woke up to the sound of my IPod blasting "Bring It! (Snakes on a Plane)" by Cobra Starship. I was in a good mood considering that I had slept fairly well last night, only waking once to a sound that I had grown well accustomed to over the years. Bella was sleep talking about school when we were little, mom, and then something that seriously scared her. I knew that she was going to be pretty shaken up this morning, but I didn't want to think about it at the moment. I grabbed my IPod and took it into the bathroom so I could listen to the song in the shower.
I replayed it and sung along as I washed my hair with my cherry vanilla shampoo. That smell along with the cherry body wash was enough to let me relax completely and scream along with the music.

"That's it!
I have had it with these mrfing snakes
on this mrfing plane!"
Times are strange
We got a free upgrade for
snakes on a plane.
F 'em, I don't care.
Bought the cheap champagne,
we're going down in flames, hey.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
So kiss me goodbye.
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive.
So kiss me goodbye.
I can see the venom in their eyes.
Goodbye.
It's time to fly,
to make the skies align
with the serpentine
lounging in their suits and ties.
Watch the horse parade
for the price of fame, hey.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
So kiss me goodbye.
Honey I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye.
I can see the venom in their eyes
So kiss me goodbye.
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye.
I can see the venom in their eyes
Goodbye.
Ladies and gentlemen
These snakes are slitherin'
with dollar signs in they eyes
with tongues so reptilian
This industry's venomous
with cold-blooded sentiment
No need for nervousness
It's just a little turbulence.
So kiss me goodbye.
Honey I'm make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye.
I can see the venom in their eyes
So kiss me goodbye.
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye.
I can see the venom in their eyes
Goodbye.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
Oh, I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it.
We seem to be losing altitude
at an alarming pace
From Midtown to downtown
Snakes on a blog
I suggest you grab your ankles
and kiss you're a goodbye.
The song was one of my favorites and helped keep my good mood. I got out and wrapped myself in a soft red towel. After blow drying and straightening my hair, I looked up directions to the school and packed my laptop and other necessities into my bag. I then walked over to my closet and picked out an outfit for the day. I wanted to look nice, but not over-dressed, so I went with light-wash ripped jeans, Uggs, and a cream sweater with a black water-proof parka for warmth. I applied a little make-up and grabbed my bag and guitar before heading downstairs for breakfast. I wasn't surprised to see Bella already there cooking bacon with french toast and eggs waiting on the table.
"Hey Bells! Wow, this looks amazing! How early did you get up?" I asked realizing the effort she put in.
"Early enough to say goodbye to Charlie and hear him wish me a good first day and tell you the same," she replied. "The medicine only knocked me out for two hours." She mumbled under her breath, obviously not meaning for me to hear. I decided to ignore it for now. She would talk to me about the dreams when she was ready.
"No wonder you look exhausted. You must have had to wake up at about four in the morning. So, are you ready for today? Are we driving together, or separate to show off the new rides?" I asked excited.
A wide grin spread across her face. "Let's go separate today and together tomorrow. I want to see how well my car drives. Oh, I forgot! Are you going to sing, play guitar, or piano in music class? I think I'm going to sing and play the school keyboard."
"I'm at least bringing my guitar. I don't know if I'll sing too," I pondered. "Well, we'd better get going. Wouldn't want to be late to the first day of torture sessions, now would we?"
We finished breakfast quickly and headed out to the cars. Once loaded up, I got in and lead the way to Forks High School. It was right off of the highway, just like everything else. I was shocked by the appearance. I seemed to be a collection of small brick houses. It was pretty empty since Bella and I arrived early enough to get a good spot and tour the school before anyone else got there. Bella and I parked our cars near the main section of buildings and walked toward the one with "FRONT OFFICE" painted in bold black letter.
As we walked in, a gust of warm air greeted us. There, behind a desk, was a middle-aged woman with red hair and glasses wearing a purple long-sleeved shirt. The name plate on her desk claimed her to be Mrs. Cope.
"Hello girls. How may I help you?" she asked pleasantly. She seemed frustrated by the fact that she couldn't recognize us, but curiosity was the main emotion playing across her face.
I walked right up to her with Bella trailing behind, taking in her surroundings. "Hello. I'm Elizabeth Swan and this is my sister Isabella. We're here to pick up our schedules." Comprehension lit up her face as answers to her unspoken queries were answered. She welcomed us both to Forks and handed over our schedules and maps of the school. She had taken the liberty to highlight the different routes to and from each class in a different color as according to the highlighted color on our schedules. Once we had those, we left and headed out to the cars to grab our stuff and compare schedules. We were interrupted before we could even get our doors open by a very excited squeal.
"BELLA! LIZ!" Alice screamed as she saw us. She ran over from a group of four very amused people with matching beauty to hers. There were three boys and one girl, apart from Alice. Before I was able to fully grasp the situation, I was tackled by the surprisingly strong pixie, and enveloped in a bone-crushing hug. She let go and repeated the process with Bella.
"It's great to see you too, Alice," I laughed at her extreme enthusiasm.
"Alice, aren't you going to introduce us to your new friends?" the blonde girl asked with a partially amused, partially annoyed look on her face. I turned my attention to the newcomers who must have been Alice's siblings and had to stifle a gasp. They were all pale with light topaz eyes and extremely beautiful, but different. The blonde girl was, unlike Alice, very tall and looked like a supermodel. The guy on her right was huge. He was covered in muscles and had dark, wavy hair. The guy on her right was also buff, but nothing in comparison to the dark haired man. He was blonde and tall. The last guy was smaller than the other two, but still tall and muscled. His bronze hair was messy in perfect disarray.
"I'm Liz Swan," I introduced myself. I noticed that Bella hadn't taken her eyes off of the bronze-haired guy and that my talking had broken her out of her trance enough to speak. She looked down, blushing.
"I'm Bella, Liz's twin."
"Nice to meet you both. I'm Rosalie Hale and this is my twin brother and Alice's boyfriend, Jasper. The other two are my boyfriend Emmett and brother Edward. You've already met Alice." She gestured to each of them in turn. As we were shaking hands, the wind picked up, blowing their scent toward us. They all smelled sweet, but wonderful.
"Let me see your schedules while you get your stuff out of your cars. I'll write which classes any of us have together," Alice said, getting out a piece of paper and a pen.
As I was unlocking my car, I noticed that Bella and I had two of the three only nice cars at the school. The other was the Cullen's silver Volvo. I grabbed my guitar and bag and locked up again.
