The drive to school was fairly short, but took some time because of the red truck my Dad left for me.

I was just about to begin the walk when I noticed a set of keys by the front door with a note on it saying:

Bella,

I thought you would like this truck. I bought it off a friend. I decided you need a ride to school and wouldn't want to take the cruiser all the time.

And here I was thinking I would walk like I did in Phoeniz. Charlie's really nice. I guess he's just excited I'm here and doesn't want me to leave. I just hope he didn't get anything too expensive; he knows I hate when people spend money on me.

With all the stuff on my mind plus driving, I wasn't in the mood for music. My throat was burning as ever. I was dreading the idea of being the new girl, especially in a town where everyone's known each other since before diapers.

As I pulled into the Forks High School parking lot, already I noticed a few heads turn to stare. By doing so, causing more heads to stare, thus creating a chain reaction. Sigh. At least the banged up truck fits in with the other cars unlike that shiny silver Volvo over in the corner there.

I hate the attention. Attention = gossip. Gossip = rumors. Rumors = People saying things that aren't always true about you behind your back. A lot of times, the things are bad.

I hopped out of the truck with my book bag and walked or should I say, stumbled over to what looked like the front office.

"Dang! She's really clumsy, probably nervous from all the attention," said one girl to another with a naughty smile.

I hurried on toward the front office, acting as if I had not heard her. No need for explanations of my tripping, she'll learn soon enough that I'm a danger magnet.

The front office smelled of well, office. There were house plants in the corners and a plump redhead sat behind the front desk.

"Ah, Chief Swan's daughter, you look just like him! Here is your schedule and have this slip signed by all your teachers before bringing it back to me. Hope you enjoy your first day honey!" She handed my some papers with a creepy smile on her face.

"Thanks, uh…," I searched for a name tag and found a brown wooden plaque on her desk. "Mrs. Cope."

I exited the creepy office ASAP and reviewed the schedule and map quickly. I didn't want to be carrying it around like a fool in the halls all day.

(Authors Note: I can't remember what her real schedule was or the teachers names, or which classes she has with what kids so I'm kind of making up most of it…)

History……….Mr. Owens

Spanish………Mrs. Diaz

Trigonometry..Mrs. Wethington

English………Mr. Mason

Biology………Mr. Banner

Gym………….Coach Clappe

Now to look at the map, but to be interrupted.

"Hello I'm Eric, you must be Isabella Swan. Would you like me to show you to your 1st period?" I looked up to see a boy with black hair falling into his eyes and his skin told me that he brobably hadn't showere in a significant number of days. He seemed really eager, like the chess club type.

"It's Bella, but no thanks," I didn't want anyone to see me, so easily spottable when walking with such a loud excited boy. I went to class after memorizing the map and had my teacher sign the slip. Some kids stared, like a lot. But life till lunch flowed like this. I may have gained a 'friend' you know, like the kind who only want to be friends for attention and gossip. I can't remember her name but it was the same girl who commented on my balance in the parking lot earlier.

Speak of the devil! Her curls came into view.

"Bella want to sit with us?" I had nothing better to do so I agreed to Jessica's offering. Jessica! That was her name! She led me to the table where everyone else was already seated.

"This is Mike, Lauren, Tyler, Ben, Angela, and Eric." We seated ourselves and I internally cringed at the sight of Mike winking at me. I remember him trying to hit on me earlier in one of my classes. But my eyes drifted towards Angela and her reassuring smile. I smiled back at her sincerity and decided that she might be the only chance I'll have a real friendship up here. I like her honest and kind heart. We started to talk about photography one of her favorite hobbies when a group of inhumanly beautiful people sauntered into the cafeteria. Each and every one of them were perfect as if taken from a masterpiece painting.

"Who are they?" my words sounded stupid when they left my lips.

"Those are the Cullens and Hales," Jessica so eagerly answered. "They live outside of Forks with Dr. Carlisle Cullen and Esme Cullen. And they are all foster kids. The tall blonde girl next to the big hulk, that's Rosalie and Emmett. And the short pixie with the guy who's always in pain, that's Alice and Jasper."

"What about him?" I pointed to the mid-height bronze haired one at the end.

"Oh that's Edward," she answered in a sadly small voice. "He's gorgeous of course, but don't waste your time. Apparently none of the girls here at Forks are good enough for him." Just then, as if he'd heard that, his head truned to our table and his eyes locked with mine. Tensity and Frustration.

I learned from Jessica that Alice, Edward, and Emmett are Carlisle's nephews and niece. Rosalie and Jasper are twins. But also that they are all together, like incest. I guess it's okay since they aren't related…still weird though.

I realized how much my throat was burning and hastily excused myself. I hurried toward the bathroom nearest the cafeteria. Turning on the faucette, the water rushed up to my mouth, as if it was a vaccuum. I was enjoying myself so much, I almost didn't notice when Alice Cullen entered the bathroom. And from the looks of her face, she had seen what I was doing. Though instead of surprise gracing her features, it was peace, and understanding.

Yay okay I'm excited for the next chapter too. I'm the queen of short chapters I guess. Oh and btw…im not sure if I put bella in as a sophomore or junior…so im making her a junior.
