Chapter 2

BPV

"Beep, Beep ,Beep" Ugh I groaned.

I wanted to stay under the covers but I had to get up. Today was my first day at my new school and I wanted to leave early. As I pulled the covers from my face I took another look at my room. My rocking chair had not arrived yet but I already knew where it would go. In the corner at the foot of my bed. The curtains were a gold color that was very pretty. The walls were the same color of my old room and the bed covers were a similar purple to that of my old room . At first I thought I had never left Forks. Realization came in the booming sound of Charlie's voice.

"Bells , its time to get up. You have to go to school" Right its time to become the freak.

A couple of minutes later I was dressed and eating down stairs. All I could think of was how the other students would react to me. After all I bet in a town like this everyone knew everyone. I would be the new comer, the outcast. Is there any hope for me?

At the school I was one of the first students to arrive. I entered the main entrance and made my way to the office. It looked like any other school main office. A little secretary stared up at me though a stack of papers and I told her who I was. She was very kind and gave me my schedule and a map. She then preceded to highlight my classes. I thanked her, she told me to have a wonderful day and then I left. I managed to make it to my first class ( English) give my name to the teacher and find my seat. At the end of the class the loud speaker rang :

" EMMET CULLEN REPORT TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE RIGHT NOW" About a minute later I saw this tall muscular boy with brown curly hair appear in the hall way walking towards the office with a big goofy grin on his face. I wondered if they all acted like this when they got in trouble.

The next class (math) was the worst of them all. I had to tell everyone who I was and give information on what life is like in Washington state. It was horrible. I hated it and I had a feeling that this would not be one of my favorite classes. History was next and that was interesting. I had trouble through the day with the heavy accents. From the sound of it they did not know how to pronounce their R's. I felt like I needed a translator to understand what they said. As I sighed in frustration I heard a soprano voice in the back round.

" don't worry about it, you'll get used to it"

I turned to the direction of the voice to find it came from a pixie like girl that sat next to me.

.

" By the way, my name is Alice Cullen!" she said energetically

" My name is Bella" I said in the most up beat tone I could possibly manage.

I wasn't looking forward to lunch. I was facing a prospect of eating in a place entirely new to me with people staring. As I entered the lunch room I heard a familiar voice shouting.

" Bella, come sit here" I looked around and realized it was that Alice girl from before. But she was not alone this time. The boy from before was with her along with three other people. They were all gorgeous and model like. When I went to sit with them I was introduced to each one of them. The one that could be Tanya's twin ( if that was possible ) was named Rosalie, her twin brother jasper ( who was Alice's boyfriend), and Edward. I was the most standoffish to him. I had met guys like him ( gorgeous among other things) and things never went well. It seemed that he had the same thoughts about people like me as well because he was the same way. I had found out that Alice and Edward , like Rosalie and Jasper were twins, and Emmet was their older brother. The Hales had lived here their whole lives but the Cullens like me are new comers. They had arrived here from Washington state as well. They had lived in Port Angeles, a town near Forks. They understood my shock at seeing the sun more often now.

Two weeks later I was sitting at lunch when Alice brought up an idea that would introduce me to new people. She proposed that we throw a Halloween bash at her house. We were to invite everyone at school and her parents would host it. This idea alarmed me because I cannot dance to save my life. That and the fact that I had not worn a costume in three years. I only brought up that second part to her. She promised me that I would have one by that time even if she had to fly to the ends of the earth to get me one. She told me that the Lincoln mall carries a store that sells costumes. At the thought of going shopping - even for a costume- Alice got extremely excited. It took Jasper the rest of the lunch to calm her down. As we were leaving she shouted two Saturdays from now was the date. Lovely, looks like I had a date with doomsday in two weeks. The rest of my classes passed by in a blur. I hardly remembered what they had said in my last class. I was too anxious to go home and revel in the last days of Indian summer. As I was walking to my truck I noticed someone standing by it. As I got closer I grew more alarmed because he was the same height as...., he had the same stance as..., but no it couldn't be....MIKE?

When I was close enough to see his face I was relieved to see that this was not mike. The kid greatly resembled him, the facial features were almost exact, but he had black hair and a massive amount of pimples.

" who are you?" " and what are you doing near my truck?" I shouted, scared that this stranger was about to attack me or something

" Oh this is your truck? , I was admiring the 1960's antique" what was he a car enthusiast or something? Didn't he have something better to do?

" you didn't answer the first question!" why wouldn't he answer that? It's a simple one?

" Oh, Sorry, My name is Eric Yorkie, Aren't you Isabella Swan?" Ugh I've been here two weeks and everyone but the Cullens and the Hales still call me that!

" So what town in Washington are you from?"

"Forks, Why?

" I have a cousin that lives in that town, maybe you know him, his name is .....Mike Newton?" Damn, Mike was so moronic. He actually thought that Rhode Island was not a state, even though his cousin lives there."

"Yeah I knew him a little" well not quite a little but Eric didn't need to know that.

" Wait a minute... he told me last time that he was dating someone named Bella Swan" Damn Mike and his arrogant bragging straight into the pits of hell!

" Well im his Ex... we broke up" more like I broke up with him....not that I got the credit for that.

" oh wait till I tell him that your hea"

" don't you dare, he'll come charging right on over and I don't need that right now" I rudely interrupted

" alright then you have to take me to the Halloween party then or I tell" what the hell man was this a ploy to get a date, if it was then it was a poor attempt

" okay" I gave up.

Well at least I had a date even if its with ...Mikes cousin. Im so repulsed. Mike follows me everywhere even when he really isn't even here. What the hell man I can't escape him. As I sat there repulsed I heard a snicker emanating from the crowd. As I looked around to see where it was coming from I saw a flash of bronze heading into a Volvo. What the hell was he laughing at?

What did he see the look on my face when I was talking to Eric? Okay it turns out I was right two weeks ago.

When I returned home I noticed Charlie had arrived home early. Strange since his job requires him there till at least 6 pm and it was only 2. I thought that maybe he was on lunch or something. As I walked in though I saw a sight I thought I'd never see. Charlie was in a suit with a huge smile on his face. It was the biggest I'd ever seen. This could not be good. He looked ... if possible... even more excited than the day he told me we were relocating here.

" Welcome home, My beautiful daughter!" Okay something was defiantly up , Charlie was never one to express emotions like this. When he did it meant something big was about to happen.

" Dad what are you doing home so early?" I blankly asked

" Well, I'm taking Tanya on a date !" Must be some date, even when he was with my mother he never acted this excited that I know of.

" Speaking of Tanya, I have to ask you something?" oh...oh..OH he's not going to ask her to marry him is he? I thought he swore off marriage, not that I'd mind Tanya as a step mom , shes paretically one already.

" Well I was wondering what you thought of her?" Okay he's going to ask her. Wow I never thought .... well im getting a head of my self . He has not told me yet.

" What as a Mother? She's great why?"

" Well, I was thinking of asking to marry her, I wanted your opinion first though" Charlie's getting married. Am I sick or something? Did my ears deceive me? How had I missed THIS!

I mean I never saw this coming.

" Go for it!" Their already paretically married anyhow, why not make it legal!

First the Eric incident, and now this. Will today have anymore surprises? Will Tanya come out of the wood work and say that she's pregnant or something? Right now that would not shock me, with the day I've had.

I went up stairs to prepare an essay that was due the following week. I figured that the sooner I get it done the better. It was on a book that I must have read a million times. Bram Stoker's Dracula. My essay was about how some of our modern day notions of vampires were derived from this book. While I was typing the essay my mind kept on heading back to today's past events. First of all this Eric Yorkie kid. Obviously he was just as annoying as Mike. What was that a family trait. annoyance . It must fall next to arrogance in the chromosomes because they both have that too. Then the marriage thing. That was random. Great now I have to go with Eric or else Mike could in explictically show up at my door step. I could see him trying something like that. As I was typing and thinking Tanya passed my door. She looked absolutely stunning. I really hope she accepts because I don't think that Charlie could survive the rejection. I mean he already had to deal with what happened with my mother. I think that he'd go over the edge if Tanya rejected him.

Three hours later, I had just finished my dinner when I heard the front door open. The look on Charlie's face was enough to tell me her response....She said ...YES! Thank the lord.

Finally Charlie's gonna get his happy ending. He's going to have someone to come home to besides me. I thought that I would never get to see this happen. Especially in the immediate days after mom left. God I never thought he'd try again after seeing him that upset. It looked like someone had ripped his heart out and stomped on it. It was horrible. Things eventually returned to some what normal. Then he met Tanya. She had just moved to Forks and the company that she worked at had a break in. Charlie being the police chief responded. They talked, and then exchanged numbers. Three weeks later I met her. I could tell the minute I met her that she and I would hit it off. She was genuine. She actually cared about me and Charlie. The thing is I never thought that Charlie would ask ANYONE to marry him again. He was that hurt by my mother.

He called me over to the couch and told me about it. He then asked me if I'd be at least a bridesmaid in the ceremony. He actually thought that I would refuse to be in his wedding. How ridiculous. I told him that I would and he smiled.

The weeks seemed to fly by. Saturday turned up extremely fast. That morning Charlie was at work and Tanya was consulting a wedding planner for the up coming nuptials. So I was eating alone when I heard a knock on the door. Remembering what day it was I groaned. When I opened the door Alice knocked me down . It was finally time to go shopping for my Halloween costume, ugh. I didn't do costumes very well or shopping for that matter. Before we left she wanted the grand tour of the place. So I quickly showed her around. As we got closer to the mall Alice's excitement grew and grew. She actually bounced out of the car and ran into the costume store. As I was heading for the actual costumes Alice was picking up random decorations . It was like watching a child in a candy store. I picked the perfect costume for me .... a damsel in distress . Alice picked a beautiful pixie costume. That was so Alice. I think that the hardest part for Alice was leaving the store. She kept on saying that we'll be coming back soon.

While in the car Alice asked me if I wanted to go to her place for dinner. I told her okay and called Tanya to inform her that I would not be having dinner tonight. Alice squealed and sped all the way back to her place. When we walked in I could not believe what I was seeing. There was a girl on the couch with Edward and they were completely all over each other, it was pretty disgusting. My judgments proved to be right once again. Edward was that type of guy I thought he was. I had this strange feeling like I should separate the two of them.... how strange. The feeling passed after a minute though and I didn't think about it again. Dinner tonight was a vegetarian dish that I never heard of before this. I found out that night that the family were vegetarians. Always enjoying trying new things I had some.... it was awesome. Through out the dinner the girl and Edward were still going at it. How long could someone do that for. Won't they get dizzy and stop soon? I heard Emmett shout at Edward, "What the hell man, can't you two stop sucking face for two seconds? I'm trying to eat here bro!" Then I heard Emmet mutter, "What is it with him, I mean he's with a different girl every week. Can't he hold one steady relationship?" so I was definitely right about him.

After dinner Alice , Edward, Jane doe # 212, and I played twister. Of corse Alice won. She always had that ability predict which moves were solid. About an hour or so later we were on the way home. Alice wanted to escape the lust in the air just as badly as I did. So going home seemed like the perfect excuse for the both of us. I was surprised again at how short the ride was. Wasn't I ever going to get used to this? If it was like this tonight what was Alice's party going to be like? This really was going to be interesting.

When I got home there was a scene that I thought I'd never see. Charlie was looking over wedding plans with Tanya. Odd. Charlie didn't seem to me like the type of guy interested in planning his own wedding. He was more the type to "let the women handle it". So, when I saw

Charlie looking at color schemes and voicing his opinion, I had to rub my eyes.

"Bella come here a minute we need your opinion on something!" Charlie yelled. Wonder why, I'm no fashion expert, that's for sure.

" Okay guys, what is it?"

" Well, your going to be wearing this dark blue color, but we cant decide what to put Kate in."

" Well how about that off white."

" Actually honey, that's a good choice"

" So when's the wedding?"

" We were thinking late winter/ early spring time?"

" Okay, sounds good. Don't work too hard tonight, good night!" and with that, I headed off to my room.
