Bella walked out of her house today, with a little extra bounce on her step. Today was the first day of the school year, and she had made quite a few improvements over the summer. She grew in cup size, shrank in pant size. She was feeling bionic…..Oh who I am I kidding, she was terrified, so nervous that she would be the ridicule of her classmates once again. After all, she was not what you would call popular by any means but that is how she liked it. She took pride in being the odd ball out. It was what made her distinguishable from the wall that she so often leaned against while waiting for the barbarians to disperse enough for her to get to her locker. But with all of that said, she did in fact have a little more pep, but it was because a certain two boys, would be joining her for this years voyage through teenage hell.

When I got out of bed this morning, I could tell that it was going to be hell. I stumped my toe on the dresser, ripped my favorite cami on my door hinge, and burnt my forehead with my straightener not once, not twice, but three times. But even with all of these mishaps, I was still practically giddy. Not only would I be a senior this year but also my two best friends in the whole world have decided to take a break from Hollywood to go to school with me. God I love those two. They have been my best friends practically since birth. Emmet Hale and James Cullen are probably the two most important people in my life. We met through our parent's wealth. My mom is a famous screenwriter and she is best friends with their mothers, two very famous actresses, who shall remain nameless. I don't want you to get the wrong idea about them. So any ways I know you are thinking that with my mom being a famous writer why I am not miss popular at school, and the answer is very simple. I took my fathers name. I do not want people to judge me based on who my parents are. Rather my mom. In fact, the less I have associating me to her the better. She is not what you would call a nurturing parent by any means. Don't get me wrong, Charlie isn't Mr. Sentimental either, but at least he knows my birthday, favorite food, oh and MY NAME!! But, I am getting a little side tracked. I am trying to tell you about my two best friends, not my egg donor. Emmet is like a big teddy bear, he is so funny, and he has the most adorable smirk I have ever seen. He is also huge. He could make Shaq feel like a midget. James, he is a little more indie rockish. Blonde hair tied back into a ponytail, great taste in music. He is my rock. The only voice of reason that any of us really hear or listen to. I am still not sure how we all fit together, the jock, the artist, and the wallflower, but we do. And we are amazing together. Which is why I cant wait to get to school this morning! As soon as the rain breaks enough for me to see the way to my truck. Stupid RAIN!!

Today is the day of the rest of my life! Senior year baby! My plane landed about an hour ago and Officer swan is driving me to my kingdom! Forks High School. Little Hotties here I come. Wow I still cant believe that I am going to a public school. In Washington. Probably the farthest thing from the California sun that there is. But it will be worth it. Because I will get to go through my senior year with my two best friends, Bells and Jay. Man, I cant wait to see Bells again. Haven't seen her since June at my B-day party at my moms McMansion. Good times, Good Times. Jay, well I see a lot of that kid. But that is probably because I lived with him for the last four years. He is one funny dude, and a tough cookie to crack. It is hard to believe that we are all going to be living in the same house for the next year. Man! I feel bad for Jay, seeing how he is in love with Bells, but she is so dense and doesn't see it. I see it though, in the way that he looks at her, or the way he says her name. I pity the person who cant see when they are being given someone's heart. But hey that is my Bells for you, gotta do things her own way in her own time! Wow Today is going to be great. If only Jay would stop squirming in the seat. You'd think that he thought he was actually under arrest and not just riding in the back of "uncle" Charlie's cruiser.
James
Wow. Today is the best day of my life. I get to see my soul mate for the frost time in months. WAIT!! Did I say soulmate, I meant best friend. Yeah….so anyways today is the first day of my senior year, our senior year. I just hope that everything goes smoothly. It is going to be weird living in the same house as Izzy. Maybe she has outgrown her thing for Emmett. God, the way that she used to look at that boy, you would have swore he hung the moon. And maybe he did. He is tall enough to have. Every sunce we were making mud pies in my indoor sand box there has been a connection between those two. Though Em would deny it, and maybe he is really so dense as to not see or feel it, they have chemistry. Even our parents saw it. They used to kid about them being an old married couple, and by the way that they fought, sometimes even I was convinced. But Em has always been too stubborn to acknowledge it. And it kills Izzy. You can see the pain on her face every time he brings a new bimbo over for our friend evaluation. And every time Izzy gives him the green light, because she want him to be happy, even if that means giving up her own happiness. And that is the one thing I love the most about that girl. Wow. Here we are Forks High….
