Chapter 4 - Finally Happy
A.N. Finally, the long awaited Chapter 4. I wanted to make it longer, but in order to get it out quicker you'll have to wait till the next chapter. Lol I realised I wrote cat in stead of car in the preview hahah. Not much to say but ENJOYYY!! Thank you to all my great reviewers, you kept me writing.

Sunday flew past in a blur. I modelled all my new clothes in front of the mirror in the hotel room, mixing and matching the designer clothes, for almost the whole day. Hopefully, they wouldn't add the the attention I'd already receive when I got to school.
I got the greatest nights sleep I've had since arriving in Forks, the sound of rain was soft enough to be relaxing rather than distracting, and I didn't wake up from a bad dream once.
Before I knew it, I was climbing from the warm interior of my rental car, into the Forks High car park.
Almost everyone had their eyes on me. When Bella came, the whole school had warning thanks to Charlie, but with me, it was a complete surprise. Blushing furiously, I made my way up the stairs, stumbling on the way, towards the school office. I'd also inherited Bella's clumsiness. Mrs Cope handed me a sheet of paper I was to get signed by all my subject teachers, and I took off to my first lesson, Biology.
This is it, either Edward's there, and exists, or he isn't and I just go back to my old life, plain and boring. Obviously things weren't going by the book so far, Bella didn't have Biology first, maybe starting on a different day made all the difference. I just hoped everything turned out well, and if Edward did exist, he didn't give into the strong temptation of having me for lunch.
I managed my way through the crowded hallways, and finally reached the classroom. It looked just like it had in the movie. Plants and dead animals filled the glass shelves located near the window, even the white barn owl with it's wings spread.
The teacher directed me to the same seat as Bella, just as I expected. Most of the class was yet to arrive, so I let my eyes wander to my new classmates. A blonde, baby-faced boy gave me a wide smile. Mike? I returned a small smile before turning to face the front again. He caught my attention again and passed me a note.
You're new aren't you? Wait of course you are, I've never seen you around before. What's you're next class, maybe I could walk you there?
Mike
My hand's were shaking as I read it. Mike existed, MIKEEE! This was first hand proof, as corny as it sounds, I truly was in the world of Twilight. I was confident now of the Cullens existence, the only thing lowering that confidence was the empty seat beside me. I almost forgot about Mike.
Yeah, I'm new. I've got gym next, are you going anywhere near there?
Bella
It was still odd using the name Bella, but it was something I'd have to get used to. He scribbled back on the opposite side of the note and quickly passed it back to me.
I have gym too, guess we're in the same class, I'll show you where to go
He grinned back at me and I felt like puking. After reading Twilight about a million times I knew what was probably on Mike's mind right now. I had to admit though, he was kinda cute, but when I meet Edward, which I really hope will happen soon, Mike won't stand a chance.
The bell finally rung through the building and sure enough Mike followed me like a loyal dog.
"So um, where did you live, before you came here?" he asked.
I answered with the first thing that popped into my head, "Phoenix"
"Wow, Phoenix, why the sudden change?"
"I ... uh", now I was stuck, but I decided to tell him the same thing I told Mr's Cope, "I'm staying with my Uncle for a while, you know, family troubles"
Lying was easier than I thought.
"Oh" was all he said.
Finally we reached the gym and he lead me in. Again, it was just like the movie. There was still no sign of the Cullens, but I got to meet Jess and Angela. They too were straight out of Twilight. Angela seemed like the nicest person ever, and Jess, well she was alright. Overall, gym went well, minus the sport part.
Heading down the hallway towards the cafeteria, everyone was watching the "new girl". I started to fell self conscious, but remembered that Bella went through the same thing. I got lunch and headed back to the table that consisted of Mike, Jess, Angela and a few other people I was yet to remember the names off. Sadly, there was no table of incredibly good looking, pale vampires.
"Yeah, they're not here today"
"But it's raining"
"Maybe they're sick"
"They're never sick, always out camping"
"But they usually go camping only when it's sunny"
"Man, their family is like obsessed with camping"
I immediately connected their conversation with the Cullens, it all fit!!!!
Suddenly I blurted out "Who are you talking about?"
Jessica answered in between staring at what was obviously their table, "Oh, the Cullens, they're this really weird family. There's like 7 of them, and their all adopted by Dr Cullen and his wife. The weird thing is they're all together, like together, together. All that is but one, Edward. He is practically sex on a stick, but apparently nobody here's good enough for him. They never miss a day of school, unless it's sunny. Their parents yank them out for hiking and stuff. Not like they get a tan anyway, they're like all albinos"
I felt like screaming, they really existed!!! But they weren't here. What was up with that? Hopefully they'd be here tomorrow, Edward included. For the rest of the day I was actually happy. I hadn't had that feeling in quite some time. I got the same questions from everyone, "Where are you from?", and I gave the same answer, "Phoenix".
After dancing around my room for a few hours and finishing off my homework, I settled into bed, hoping they'd be at school tomorrow.

At school, I saw a girl with the same black hair is Port Angeles, this time she turned around.
