Chapter 2

Let's just say, Kristen wasn't a happy bunny. Apparently she ended up going to Trig late because she was waiting for me to call. Yeah, well I did say sorry.

Anyway, we spent last night sleeping in the car. Not as comfy as it looks. I was up half the night because of Charlie, god he snores too loud. I actually contemplated going for a little walk and falling asleep somewhere in the middle of nowhere, just so that I could get some peace and quiet. Seriously, I don't know how my mom copes with it. We were parked in a deserted road, just off route 95.

I woke up at about 9am, well I wouldn't really call it 'waking up', I was awake half of the night. After Charlie and Renee woke up, we drove to a service stop and grabbed some breakfast and freshened up. After that we were back in the car again on our way to Tonopah.

After a couple of hours, we were finally in Tonopah and in a Hotel, thank god. We got a small family suite with two bedrooms. We went out and ate the restaurant, which was located in the Hotel. After that I went for a little swim, this would be the last time I would be in the warm air. Tomorrow we would be in Forks, the rainiest place in Washington.

I just about to get out of the pool, when a guy jumped in. He had a muscular build and light brown hair.

"Hey, I haven't seen you around here. Are you new?" He asked.

"Err, yeah. We're just stopping for the night, moving house." I replied.

"Oh cool, well I'm Ethan, nice to meet you. "He said as he brought his hand up to mine, I shook it.

"I'm Bella." I replied timidly.

He swan to the far side of the pool and started to do laps around it as I went back to my backstrokes.

"So, where are you moving to?" He asked

"Forks." I replied as I carried on with my backstroke.

"Never heard of it." He chuckled.

"I'd be surprised if you did. Don't really want to go there to be honest; I'm just going because my parents want to."

"Oh, that's really selfless of you." He sounded surprised.

"I guess, but I'll be out of there as soon as I'm 18 next year. I can't stand small towns."

"So your 17?" He asked.

"Er, yeah. How about you?" I asked.

"18."

"Cool, so you got any idea what you're going to do next year?" I asked him.

"Probably take a year off and go to Paris or something, my scholarship to Harvard will still be there when I get back." He said as he stopped his laps and sat down on the edge of the pool. "What about you?"

"I'm not really sure, I'll try and get into Harvard, but I'm not that sure I'll get in." I laughed awkwardly as I sat down at the edge as well, my legs hanging of the edge of the pool.

"I'm sure you will." He whispered as he stroked my cheek. I fell forward. I didn't realize he was so close. He caught me around the waist before I fell into the pool.

"Ah thanks." I sighed as I looked up at him. Before I could get up, he pressed him lips onto mine. I froze. Just when I regained consciousness my dad came up to the pool. I immediately pushed Ethan off me.

"Err, dad. I'm going to go in." I whispered as I grabbed my towel and ran into the Hotel.

"What do you think you were doing with my daughter?" I heard my dad shout at Ethan.

"Sir, it wasn't how it looked. I promise."

"Well I think you have some explaining to do Son." He said. I could hear the anger seeping through his words.

I ran into our suite and went to my bedroom. I can only imagine how awkward it will be with Charlie tomorrow.

I had a quick shower and changed into my blue boxer shorts and white vest top. Tomorrow was going to be a long trip.

Did you like it..? Well comment please, I'd love to know your views on the story. If you think I should anything else to the story to make it better, I'd love to know. There should be some more action in the next chapter because Bella will be in Forks! Yay :)
