Forks, Spoons and Knives
Charlie POV
I shifted in my seat and started reading the sports section of the news. There was a tiny article saying that Kirsty Daley hadn't been able to defend her world champion title. That girl really didn't deserve to win. She was a little snob not caring about anyone but herself. On a more positive note, Rhiannon Johnson had won the all around gold. I liked that Rhiannon, always been a good friend to my Bella.
I was sad that Bella had decided to quit gym training. But what she had said was true. There wasn't really a point in her being elite anymore now that she didn't make it to Worlds. I wanted her to continue being in a team though, like the Forks High School Team. That way she could continue a sport which she had a tremendous talent in, and have fun without all the pressure on her back.
'You know what Bella, I was hoping that you might want to be in your school's gymnastics team. I'd be fun.'
Bella thought for a while, 'I'll think about it dad.'
I was overjoyed, 'That's my girl.'
In the seat next to me, my wife Renee muttered something. I leaned over to her, 'What was that dear?'
Renee smiled at me, 'It's just that I still don't understand who would name a town Forks. Why not name it Spoons? Or even knives? What a rubbish name. Actually, you know what? I think that Spoons would be a much better name for the town. I might have a talk with whoever's in charge. See if they want to change the towns name…'
I laughed, 'I think Forks is a fine place. It'll be a prefect place for Bella to go to school. And my brother Harry lives there. With her cousins at the same school would help Bella fit in so much more don't you think so?'
'Sure. I think it would be the best thing for Bella now… What is Rachel going to think when I tell her we moved to Forks?'
'Haven't you told your best friend where we're moving yet.'
Renee blushed, 'I told her that we were moving to Washington. I'll tell her when the time comes… Forks… it sounds ridiculous,' she muttered.
I shook my head and laughed, Rachel was a geography teacher. I'd bet that she had heard of places with weirder names than Forks.
Bella POV
I opened my eyes and looked around groggily. My mouth felt so dry and my hair was all over the place. After gulping down some water, I walked towards the pane toilets to fix my hair.
'Damn,' I muttered.
Both the toilets were occupied.
Then a boy around my age turned
around in his seat, 'Hi there.'
He was of average height, with blond hair and lots of freckles.
He held out his hand to me, 'I'm Mike Newton. I live in Forks. Where are you heading?'
'Wow, what a coincidence! I'm going to Forks as well.'
As I shook his hand I couldn't help noticing he had a very strong grip.
'I've never seen you around in Forks before,' Mike laughed, 'and I know just about everybody there is in town.'
I smiled, 'Well, I'm moving to Forks. I just had to start again fresh from my old life. I'm going to Forks High School.'
'Awesome, I'm a student there.'
Just then one of the toilets became available.
'Well I guess I'll see you around Mike. I'm Bella by the way.'
'See you later,' Mike smiled.
I smiled back as I went into the toilet.
I took my hairbrush out of my pocket and tried to untangle the knots in my hair. That Mike Newton was really friendly. If everyone at Forks was like that, well that would be wonderful.
Thinking back at what my dad had asked me about school gymnastics team I sighed. I really did want to continue with some gymnastics, I mean gymnastics was fun; gymnastics is the love of my life I was at least holding on to a bit of it. I hoped the school team would be fun without all the pressure on my back like elite gymnastics.
I glanced at my reflection in the mirror and smiled. I had the most gorgeous necklace ever, Rhiannon had given it to me and it even came with a silver good luck charm of a gymnast in the middle of a spilt jump.
Rhiannon had been my best friend back home and even though she had many different international competitions to go to this year, we would definitely be keeping in touch and we would be visiting each other in the holidays, and I would be trying my best to watch her competitions on television.
I rinsed my hands quickly in the sink and wiped it on tissue paper. When I exited my cubicle, I found Mike Newton outside waiting.
'Bella! I was just wondering what your number was, maybe I could call you and we could hang out over the weekend…'
I smiled at him politely, but inside I was thinking about how he was acting way too friendly.
I gestured randomly and yes, 'That would be great but I think my parents are looking for me. I'm sure I'll see you around school.'
Mike looked back at me disappointedly, 'Well… okay sure, whatever.'
I returned to my seat quickly where I found my dad reading a newspaper.
'Hey Bells,' Dad put down his newspaper, 'What have you been up to?'
'I was going to the toilet and I met this boy. He said that he goes to Forks High School. He was nice I guess.'
'That sounds nice, what's the fellow's name?'
'Oh, um, Mike Newton.'
'Right, well, unpack quickly when we get to our house, we have to meet your Uncle Harry and your cousins for dinner.'
Oh, I had forgotten about Uncle Harry. I haven't seen him for so long, having been so busy with my training for the nationals.
I sighed. The nationals. Whenever I thought back to what had happened, I would be immensely disappointed with myself. I really hoped that Forks High School would give me what I needed: some friends and being able to be like a normal teenager, a chance I had never had before.
PLEASE Review.
Reviews are so important to me every time I get one I jump up and down in my seat and try to update asap.
:D
