Dark Blue
The next week, after an emotional goodbye with Renee and Phil, I was finally boarding the plane that would take me to freedom.
Once the plane landed, I set off to find Charlie. It wasn't that hard considering he was the only one wearing a Forks Police uniform. Charlie wasn't alone… he was standing by an older man in a wheelchair and a tall russet-skinned boy who was waving a sign with my name scrawled on it.
I remembered that the older one's name was Billy, but I couldn't remember the other boy. When I got over to them, Charlie took my bags and we shared an awkward one-armed hug, he wasn't one to show his emotions.
As we set off to Charlie's police cruiser, the boy I didn't know started to talk to me. He was telling me all about life on the reservation and how nice it was in Forks. I felt bad that I couldn't remember him, so I just let him talk until he looked at me with an amused expression on his face.
"You don't remember me, do you?" He said "I'm Jacob Black"
"I sort of remember you," I said, "I remember your sisters more though."
"Yeah" He said, "You probably didn't notice me, but I thought you were the prettiest girl I'd ever seen." I blushed and he laughed.
"I'll let you in on a little secret" He said before leaving. "I still do"

I was still blushing as Charlie and I walked into the little house that was now my home.
"I don't know what that boy said to you," Charlie commented "But you're still as red as a tomato. I'll have to have a little man to man talk with him."
"Oh dad," I sighed "I missed you."
"I missed you too Bells" He said.
"Well, I'm going to bed," I mumbled. "That flight took a lot out of me"
"Bells" Charlie said, "I scheduled a doctors appointment for you tomorrow at three. I can't bring you because I'm working, but I got a car for you from Billy. He can't drive anymore because of the accident. It's in the driveway"
"Really?" I squeaked and ran to the window. There, in all its glory was an old red rusted truck.
"It's prefect dad!" I squealed and ran to hug him. "Thanks!"
"It's nothing" Charlie mumbled "Night"
Night dad" I said as I walked up the stairs paying very close attention to where I was stepping.
I woke up the next morning to find a new bruise on my arm. I wasn't worried because my doctor in Phoenix said this would happen, but I was still a little gloomy to see the first physical proof of my cancer.
"No, I'm not feeling sorry for myself!" I thought as I made a mental note to buy some cover up as I headed out the door for school.
I was pretty early, so I pulled into a parking spot in front of the office and read a book, trying to pretend that the thunderous roar wasn't coming from my truck. When I saw that the parking lot was filling up, I turned off my engine and headed inside. The lady at the desk smiled at me and said "You're Isabella Swan, aren't you?"
"Bella," I corrected. "How'd you know?"
"You're all everybody's been talking about, especially Charlie! We're all so excited to have you here!" She chattered.
"Oh" I said. Forks was just how I remembered it, a small town where everybody was in everyone's business.
"It's going to be that much harder to keep my secret," I thought.
"Bella?" The secretary asked "You spaced out on me for a second are you ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine. I guess I'm just nervous about my first day" I lied.
"Oh there's no reason to be nervous dear!" She sang in a too happy voice. "I'm sure the children here will be very helpful!"
It wasn't until she gave me my schedule and a map did I realize just how very helpful the students, mainly the boys, were.
As I was attempting to open my locker, a baby-faced boy with carefully gelled hair walked up to me.
"Hey, I'm Mike." He said. "Do you need any help with your locker, or anything…?" To my relief, the locker popped open just as he finished speaking.
"I guess not," I said. "But thanks for offering."
"Well then, can I escort a pretty girl to her next class?" He almost pleaded in an attempt at a smooth voice. Obviously, he failed.
"Umm, sure I guess if you want to you can" I mumbled. I wasn't very comfortable talking to him anymore, but in Forks, politeness is the key if you don't want to make any enemies. I just couldn't understand what these boys saw in me, I'm not pretty or social, I'm not rich, and my dad is pretty much the enemy of any trouble making teen in this town.
Mike walked me to my first class, which I was sure would be my favorite, English. I had already read the book they were reading many times so I just let my head rest on my desk and enjoyed the literature.
The rest of my classes went by very quickly. There were always one or two people in each class who were brave enough to start a conversation with me. I met a small girl with curly brown hair in my second period class named Jessica. Three boys fought over who got to sit next to me in my third period class. I think their names were Eric and Tyler. Mike- the blond boy I met at my locker was also involved in the dispute.
By the time lunch came, I wasn't felling very hungry. My body hurt everywhere and I was so tired. I sat with Jess and Mike; their friends had no problem with me sitting there except for a snooty looking girl named Lauren.
While I was glancing around the cafeteria, I felt someone staring at me. I looked over and saw a boy- no, not a boy- a god looking at me. He was lean and pretty tall but you could tell he had muscles. His hair was a stunning shade of bronze and it was all over the place, but it looked good. His eyes were the most surprising; they were a piercing shade of Topaz.
"Who are they?" I asked Jessica.
"Oh" She said. "They're the Cullens, that's Rosalie, the blond. Emmet's beside Rosalie, Jasper is across from Emmet and Alice is sitting next to him. Rosalie and Emmet are together, so are Jasper and Alice."
"What about the one with the bronze hair?" I asked
"That's Edward" She sighed "Don't even get your hopes up, apparently nobody here is good enough for him" I guessed that he must have turned her down for something. But as I was watching him, he kind of smirked a little, almost like he could hear what we were saying, but I knew that was impossible because he was on one side of the cafeteria and we were on the other. I wanted to observe him more, but Lauren was asking me a question, so I tore my eyes away from his and turned my attention to her. But before I looked away I noticed Alice say something and the whole family turn their eyes to me.
"So Bella" Lauren whined in her annoying nasally voice "Your car's like really old and cheap. It's pretty ugly looking too."
That was it I didn't feel like putting up with this chicks crap today. I didn't feel well, and she was getting on my nerves. There was no way I was going to be able to ignore her like I was originally planning.
"Yeah" I said, keeping a straight face, "It's pretty old, but at least it's not a fake. Tell me, how much did your daddy pay for that nose job? Because if I were you, I'd demand a refund, you still look like crap."
I got up, leaving everyone at the table shocked. As I glanced over at the Cullen table, I could swear they were laughing.
I walked into biology as the bell rang and the teacher gave me the only seat that was left. Which, ironically, just so happened to be beside Edward Cullen. I stumbled over to my assigned seat and set my things down. When I looked up to introduce myself to my new lab partner, I was met with one of the iciest glares I had ever received.
