Hello people.

Now, I want you to know that... I don't usually write fanfiction... like at all... anymore. But I want to dedicate this chapter and most likely the whole story to this user; A Dahlia For Bree.

She's told me that she loves the story and is 'obsessed'. That made me realize - shit! I have to write another chapter! Hah.

So uhh... Enjoy this chapter Cassie :) I hope you like it and... PLEASE give me ideas. I'm running on empty for this story!!

Alright, so the town didn't look too spectacular.

It was wet, muddy and green. That pretty much summed it up, but I liked it anyway. It was homey. Looked like an easy place to live.

Bella brought me back to the Cullen residence and she showed me in and back to my room. I sat on the bed and Bella leaned against th window.

Golden light tried to fit through the fat black clouds as it started to set, but the gold only reached before Bella's shoes before cutting off and rain spattering harder onto the glass.

"So why did you want to move here, River?" Bella asked curiously. I guessed she'd not been told the whole story.

"Dad's been a pain," I sighed. "Mom let me out. Finally."

"Took me until seventeen until she let me out," Bella smiled; it looked like the kind of smile you'd find on a toothpaste add. Sparkling white and... dazzling.

I blinked, "What's the school like here?"

"Moderately boring." Bella laughed and I laughed too. Hers sounded like a bell chime compared to mine. Mine was loud and harsh. "But I'm sure you'll do fine. Never had trouble fitting in anywhere."

"You saying I'm moderately boring?" I teased with a frown.

"Of course not," She rolled her eyes and came over, sitting next to me and patting my dark hair. "You're beautiful and you'll do fine."

"Wow… chick flick moment," I snorted, and took her cold hand. It must be the weather here; you're body probably got used to being cold all the time. "I'll be fine."

"I know." Bella smiled and tensed up for a moment, "You need dinner, don't you?"

"I'm alright, actually. I'm really just tired beyond my bones." I laughed.

"I'll leave you to it then." Bella kissed my forehead, got up and wondered to the door, smiling back at me.

I went over to my suitcase that had been put aside. I pulled out black and white stripey shorts and a long sleeved white shirt.

I fed my limbs tiredly through the clothes and wobbled. I didn't actually realize I was this tired. I flopped into bed and curled up, my body slowly heating the sheets.

I loved winter and I loved rain. I loved my sister and I loved her family. I loved forks. Then why did I feel like something was wrong? Something was missing?

I fell to sleep at the sound of rain dancing on my window and woke up to almost the same weather.

There was a beeping somewhere in the distance that pulled me from the dark thoughts in my head.

I yawned and slid out of bed, almost falling to the floor as my side desk wasn't there to catch me.

"What?" I asked dazed, looking around and blinking. Holy cow! Where- oh… The Cullen's house. I'd forgotten where I was, when I was.

Turning off my phone alarm, I grabbed up some clothes and tiptoed into the bathroom, trying not to wake anybody since the house seemed pretty quiet. It was about seven thirty, so maybe a lot of them were still sleeping. They didn't go to school. Maybe work? I stopped questioning myself and instead got into the shower quickly.

I wore dark jeans with a white shirt that played out a big cartoon screw on with with the letter "U" after it. I applied the littlest of makeup and then grabbed things around my new room.

My cell, a new empty notebooks, money, jumper and penclecase; I shoved them all into a bag and wondered down the stairs and into the kitchen.

The house was still very quiet. I kind of wondered what to do.

Eat breakfast here and then walk to the school which I had no idea where it was located? Skip breakfast and find a Cullen?

I wondered around the kitchen, took an apple and bit into it. The crunch was noisy in the quiet house. A lot nosier than a normal apple should be.

"Goodmorning," A small cheery voice said. I turned to see Alice Cullen at the door, black vest and shorts. What was it? Summer?

She smiled, "Excited for your first day of school?"

"oh… um… I guess…" the words managed to fit out of my mouth past the pieces of apple.

She grinned, "Bella will be taking you if you were wondering. She's up stairs with Edward."

I swallowed; painfully.

"Oh okay," I sat down and stared around awkwardly. Alice moved into the kitchen, grabbed an apple herself and smiled.

"You're mother must be very pretty." Alice commented.

"Sorry?" I frowned.

"You and Bella are both very pretty." She grinned a cute little smile. "Hope you don't mind me saying so. I know Bella never used to believe me every time I complimented her."

We must have gotten that from our mother too. "Thanks." I mumbled.

"You're welcome," She chirped. "Bye!" She waved and disappeared out the door.

Not two minutes later, Bella walked in and it all seemed to move slower than normal. A boy walked in behind her, or at least he looked like one. Still.

Holy crud, these two never seemed to age one bit, did they?! Edward was the same height, had the same broodiness about him, the same permanent half smirk and cloudy distant eyes.

I looked away quickly, "Hi Bella."

"Morning little sister, ready for the first day?"

"Yeah…" I lied miserably.

"Oh come on, smile. You look so much better when you do." Bella twirled a strand of my hair. I looked up at Edward as she said it and he watched me out of the corner of his eye.

I looked at Bella, and put on a smile. I wondered how forced it looked? "Yes, Bella. I'm very excited, let's go." I grabbed my bag and slid off the stool, starting to walk out of the kitchen.

When Edward actually looked at me, I lost the smile and then I was out of the kitchen. Phew. First level. Clear.

Why was I such a sour puss when it came to Edward? What was wrong with me?

Something obviously.

Bella took me to the car and drove me to the school.

When I saw the sign; I made a face that I had to hide from Bella. The sign was a golden color with the words; "Forks High school home of the Spartans" on it. There were ugly colored yellow blinds behind it on one side and deep blue ones on the other side.

We turned the corner and went into the parking lot. I felt my neck get hot and Bella smiled; kids turned to look at the flashy car.

I looked at my sister and she seemed to have the same expression of discomfort on her face; we'd both never liked a lot of people looking at us.

"Alright… So I'll pick you up after school?"

"Yeah okay. I think I'd like to go to the library though."

"Sure thing. Have a nice day at school."

I got out of the car and my shoes immediately hit a huge puddle of water. I stared down at them and sighed; the car behind me driving off.

Okay; I loved rain but not so much I was going to grovel at it's feet.

My shoes squelched as I walked into the cream colored office. The lady had messy red hair piled up on her head, trying to hide the graying roots.

She gave me a fat smile, "Hello dear, how may I help you?"

"Uhm…" I looked around, watching kids look at me with that expression.

Okay; so three things about going to a new school.

First; the guys all gave you that once over. Is she worth it?

Second; the girls gave you the testing look. Is she a threat?

Then, if you pass both tests. You get friends.

Sometimes there's that lonely fourth score that people forget; sometimes people are just nice on their own behalf.

"Excuse me?" The lady asked.

"Oh.. yeah, I'm new." I mumbled.

"You're name?"

"Um… River Dwyer."

She flicked through files and pulled out one, pulling a few papers out and then my schedule. "Here you are. Sign here and.. then you're free to go to class."

I signed and gave back the pen and then she handed me a map.

"Good luck," The woman smiled and then swung around on her chair to answer the phone. I stared down at the yellow paper in my hand with confusion, blindly walking out the front door and slamming into somebody.

There was a grunt and my schedule was lost from my fingers.

"Oops… sorry," A boy held it up. He was lanky, had tanned skin and big nose. His hair was dark and down his neck, but the most amazing thing; his eyes. They were a scorching ice color.

"Sorry," I smiled, taking the schedule. "I'm-"

"Hey Tyler! Come on!" A boy yelled from a group and the boy in front of me, Tyler apparently, turned to grin at them.

"A'ight, I'm coming…" He yelled, making sure I had the piece of paper before turning and jogging off to meet them. The group clapped him on the back and smiling.

I sighed and looked at the paper; luckily it had missed all puddles and was clear of mud smears.

Classes were moderately boring. Just as Bella had said. I took French and was in average classes. I wasn't a bludger and I got alright grades.

I waited outside of the high school, arms folded and books being shoved into my bag. I pulled on my gray jumper and looked up just as a car pulled around the corner. It stopped in front of me and I felt my heart beat pick up quickly. No one would try anything in this public place. Though… there actually wasn't that many people anymore. Everyone had left.

The tinted window rolled down and Edward leaned across, smiling, "Hello."

Reviews are nice :)
