Kindergarten

I wished I was back home, with my mommy. But I couldn't be.

Mommy was a really nice person, and she's taken care of me these last five years. But then she went out to the store one day, and didn't come back. Ms. Leaphin from next door was staying with me. She's really nice. I was really worried about Mommy, but only babies get scared, so I stayed up on the couch to wait for her to come back home. When someone knocked on the door, I thought it was mommy. So I ran to open it with a big smile on my face. But it wasn't mommy. It was two men, with badges on their shirts. They took me into the living room with real sad faces on, and told me what I didn't want to hear.

Mommy wasn't coming home.

I didn't cry at all. They had to be lying to me. Mommy would never leave me like that. She was all I had. The policemen told me they were sorry, and that I was going to go live with my father and sister. Now I was sure they were lying. Mommy would have told me if I had a Dad or a sister. She'd come smiling through the door any minute now. I just had to wait.

But it didn't happen. No one came through the door. Ms. Leaphin stayed with me all night. The police had told me my 'dad' was flying down to get me. He'd be here for me tomorrow, and I'd be going back with him then. And I'd stay with him. And my sister.

I don't know how long I stayed up, waiting for Mommy. I went to sleep when I got too tired to stay up. When I woke up, it was really bright out, and I could hear voices in the house. I made sure I was quiet as a mouse as I got up and tip-toed to the top of the stairs.

On the couch, I could see the policeman from last night, Ms. Leaphin, and some guy with brown hair talking in sad, quiet voices. Who was he?

I went down a step, before a really loud creak let out. All three of them looked up at me. As soon as they saw me, the brown-haired man stood up and walked towards me.

"Isabella …" He looked at me weirdly before bending down and slowly opening his arms. Hey, wait a minute! His eyes looked just like mine. All big and brown. Was he my daddy?

Ms. Leaphin gave me a look and nodded her head. I slowly went down the steps. The man I though might be me daddy slowly stepped forward and we hugged. It wasn't like the ones with mommy, the fun ones. This one seemed sad somehow.

"Isabella, I'm Charlie. Your father. You'll be coming to live with me, and your sister Alice, today. Our flight back to Forks, Washington leaves in an hour. Are you ready to go?" No, I didn't want to go. Why couldn't the people here see that?

I didn't know what to say back. So I just looked at the ground. He must have thought I was nodding or something, because an hour later, we were on the plane to Forks. Okay, now I was scared.

But that had been a week ago. Alice was shorter than me, had long black hair, and mommy's hazel eyes. Charlie, I didn't want to call him Daddy, had told me we were something called 'fraternal' twins. It means we look different, but we're still twins. Alice liked choosing her own clothes for school. Mommy had done that for me, but I chose to do it today.

Alice had on her new coat, jeans, a nice shirt, and shiny sneakers. I didn't really care what I looked like. Loose jeans, a loose shirt, and my old sneakers were what I had chosen. Alice wanted me to wear a new coat, so I did. I didn't want to seem mean to her, since she was my sister.

Now we stood by the door to our kindergarten class. I didn't want to go in, because I didn't think I'd know anyone. Alice had always lived in this town, so she would know people. Alice squeezed my hand and led the way in.

All the kids turned and looked at us. Alice just smiled and waved at a few. The three waved back. One girl was blond, the other girl had brown hair, and the boy had reddish-brown hair. And wow, he had the greenest eyes I'd ever seen.

"Hi Lauren, Jessica, Edward! This is Bella. She's my sister." Alice hopped over to them and sat down at one of the two empty desks. I went right behind her and sat down.

"Your sister? Alice, she looks like she came out of the homeless shelter!" The blonde one, I think her name was Lauren, gave me a mean look. The brown-haired girl, I think it was Jessica, nodded and gave me a mean look too.

"Lauren! She's my sister. Be nice to her." Alice gave them a mean look right back. The reddish-brown haired boy, Edward I think, just watched us.

"Oh, come on Alice. You're either our best friend forever, or you're her sister. Make a choice." Lauren gave me a mean smile, most likely thinking she had won. It didn't really matter, I had just gotten to know Alice and all. I wouldn't mind being left out.

"I'm staying with my sister, Lauren. You and Jessica can leave." Alice looked mad, glaring at them. Lauren's looked just as mad as she glared back.

"Fine Alice, be like that. We don't care. Come on Edward, let's go sit over there." Lauren stood up with Jessica right behind her. Edward didn't move though.

"I like this seat. And I don't care if she doesn't dress like you. I like her." He gave me a crooked smile, and I smiled back. Lauren and Jessica made an angry sound and went to sit on the other side of the class.

"Sorry about that. Bella, right? I'm Edward." He stuck out his hand, and I shyly shook it. Why was he being so nice to me?

"Don't worry about them, Bella. You've got us as best friends forever now. We'll take care of you, won't we Edward?" Alice had a happy smile back on. Edward just smiled at me and nodded his head.

With Alice and Edward for my best friends, I might start to like this school.

So what'd y'all think? (: REVIEW PLEASE! Just a short sentence or two :o

Oh, and Bella's mom was in a car accident, Bella was staying at her house with her neighbor, the police found identification on her mom and traced it to see who her relatives were, found that she had custody of Bella alone, and went to the house to see if she was there, etc. Just thought I'd clear that up before people questioned
