Chapter 2

It has been one week since I have been back in Forks. It has rained the entire time since I have been back unsurprisingly. I have finished unpacking and I am now in Port Angeles school supply shopping. I had been shopping all morning and I was starting to get a little hungry. I decided to go to this cute little deli I saw on my way to the mall. As I opened the door to walk in I ran straight into someone and I fell to the floor with a thud. As I looked over I saw a very short girl about 4'11". She had short black hair and was very beautiful in her designer clothing. "I'm so sorry. I did not see you." I said to her.

"It's ok. I should have been looking. By the way my name is Alice. What's yours?" She said as we both stood up.

"Hi Alice. My name is Bella"

"Well Bella, I have not seen you around here. What brings you here?" Alice asked.

"I just came back from a vacation in Florida with my mom. I live in Forks with my dad." I said

"Really? I just moved to Forks with my family and family friend's at the beginning of this summer. No wonder I have never seen you. What are you doing in Port Angeles?" she said.

"I am just school supply shopping. What about you?" I asked her.

"Really? Me to. Would you mind if I shopped with you. Then we could get to know each other and I would know someone besides my family when I went to school." Alice smiled at me.

I thought about it and realized why not she seems nice and she won't judge me from my past because she doesn't know. "Ok Alice just let me grab a sandwich and we can go." I told her as I walked up to the front and ordered my sandwich. Once I got my sandwich I looked towards Alice in a lead the way manner.

"Ok so why don't we go back to the mall and we can go from there and find what we don't have." She said.

"Sounds good to me." I told her. I finished my sandwich on the way to the mall while we chatted. We learned a lot about each other. She told me she had two brothers and her boyfriend was Jasper who moved with them with his twin Rosalie. I told her about Charlie and that he was the police chief of Forks and how my mother remarried to Phil and lives in Florida.

"Well I had a great time. I am so glad we ran into each other" we laughed "Here let me see your phone so I can give you my number and we can get together soon before school starts again." She said as I handed her my phone.

"We will definitely need to hang out. I had a lot of fun talking with you Ali" I smiled at her. We promised to text each other as we parted ways with our bags to our own cars.

When I got home I unloaded all my bags into my room and decided to organize everything tomorrow. I went back downstairs and saw dad ordered pizza. "Hey dad I'm back. I'm just going to eat some pizza and go to bed."

"Ok Bells. I have to work early in the morning so I will just see you at dinner tomorrow." Dad told me.

I ate my pizza then walked upstairs and took a shower. As I lay in bed I thought of how my life was already turning around and I had only been here a week. I had made one great friend who could see becoming my best friend. I just hope when I go back to school and Alice hears of what I used to be she doesn't make fun of me and leave me like so many other people have. But that is something I have a whole week to worry over and for now I will just enjoy the friendship.
