Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Twilight. I only own Henry and the plot. (I realized I forgot to do this last time but I'm to lazy to go back and fix it so let's just say this one is for both this entry and the last one. Okay? Good! I hope you enjoy the story!)

Chapter 2 BPOV

Beep, Beep, Beep

ARGH, I groan as I turn off my stupid alarm clock. Sometimes I think that thing hates me because when ever my dreams start getting good it has the nerve to wake me up. After turning off the alarm clock I rolled over and tried to pretend the day hadn't started. I'm on week three of my new high school and I really do not see it becoming any more interesting any time soon. That place is as dead as a door nail. The minute I walk in I can feel it sucking the energy and life out of me.

"I really do not want to get up," I mumble into my pillow as I hear my brother's bed room door open.

Oh crap he can't use the bathroom before me! I think as I quickly get up and run to the bathroom by passing my zombie of a brother. I'm so lucky he's practically dead when he gets up in the morning.

He lifts his head a little as I dash into the bathroom and slam the door in his face with a little chuckle. After I finish up in the bathroom I open the door to see my brother dozing on the wall. Being the wonderful sister that I am I gently push him into the bathroom hoping his brain will operate I autopilot because I know there is no way I can actually wake him up completely without involving torture.

Once in my room I change and make my bed then head down to the kitchen to make breakfast. After only tripping once on my way down the stairs I safely enter the kitchen and see that the coffee pot has not been touched; that either means that Dad never came home or just didn't feel like making coffee. I'm betting on the first scenario.

Right when I finish putting everything on the table I hear my brother enter the kitchen and say "You didn't burn anything did you shrimp?"

"Of course I didn't big foot," I reply as we both settle down to eat. You see, he calls me a shrimp because compared to him I'm short. He's 6'2 while I'm only 5'4 if you round up, but other than that we are pretty similar. We both share the same chestnut brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, courtesy of our father. We also both have a heart shaped face that came from our mother, although his face is a more of a boyish heart shape.

"Did you happen to hear Dad come in last night?" I ask Henry casually.

"Nope," he replies curtly around a mouthful of food. I know his opinion of Dad, and while I can't exactly blame him, I know our father Charlie loves us dearly and just doesn't know how to express it. "It seems like he couldn't be bothered to drop by and spend a little time with his children or to even say 'he guys don't worry I'm still alive'" Henry continued.

Not wanting to anger him any more I get up and put my dishes in the sink, "You almost done? It snowed last night so it'll take us longer to get to school."

"Yeah I'm done."

As we drive out of our drive way in Henry's old, beat up, and faded red truck I look at our new home. I may not like Alaska but our new house has to be one of the nicest we have ever had. It's a beautiful two story house with stone work on the front and a wrap around front porch, not that we would ever really use the thing, but still it's nice to have.

"I can in like a wrecking ball…." started as soon as Henry turned on the radio.

"Would you turn that crap off?"

"What? You don't like this song? I think she is very classy," Henry says with a devilish smile and turns the channel. The rest of the trip to school is relatively quiet and full scenes of the forest. One of the things I hate most about this place is the forest. You never know what's going to pop out of them. I told Henry that when we first got here and all he said was that I watch too many horror movies.

As Henry pulls up to the school a group of people turn and wave at us. "Looks like our fan club is here," I mutter as I slam the car door shut.

"Enjoy it while it lasts. We don't become instant celebrities at every school we go," Henry whispers to me before saying, "Hey guys! How's it goin'. You catch the game last night Mike?" Only Mike wasn't paying attention to my brother, he was staring at me. "Yo, earth to Mike. You here bro?" Henry asks while shoving Mike a little harder that necessary.

Mike comes out of his daze abruptly and says "No, I didn't see the game you know I don't like sports." Of course my brother knew that, he just wanted a reason to mess with Mike. Within our first five minutes of being at this school Michael Newton hit on me, and let's just say that brother bear did not appreciate that.

Upon entering the main building we all dispersed to our own classes. Lucky for me Henry is in all my classes except Biology and English. He should be a senior this year but when he was in the third grade he got really sick and missed a lot of school and ended up having to repeat the grade.

"Ready for another wonderful day of Government?" He says with a cheesy smile.

"Oh sure, 'cause I just love relearning all same crap over and over again." School really was terrible. Especially when you move around a lot like we did. Not only you go over this stuff in previous History classes but in our last school we wherein an advanced placement class. Now everyday in this class just feels like de ja vu but in slow motion.

"Ok class, open your text books to page…" and here is where I zone out and just do the homework. Lucky for me the teacher never calls on me. I think he learned his lesson in my first two days here that I could teach this class better than he could.

The rest of my morning classes pass by in a blur, and before I knew it Henry and I were in the cafeteria's lunch line. "They call this stuff food?"

Henry examines the plate of who knows what that I was holding carefully and says "If they do maybe they're that ones that need to go to school 'cause I don't think that's edible."

With that said I put the plate down and look for something that actually looks like food and am left with chips, fruit, and salad. Yum! Can you hear the sarcasm?

"Very healthy food choice Bella, you trying to lose weight?" Lauren sneers as Henry and I sit down.

"Why Lauren? Do you have any tips? I'm sure you're an expert." I say casually say as I sit between my smirking brother and an amused Angela. Out of all the people in this school the only one that is actually decent is Angela Webber. Lauren, on the other hand, is the complete opposite and only seems to hate me because other people are paying more attention to me than her.

"So, guys ready for the annual house search?" Tyler asks while chopping on what looks like a lasagna impersonator.

"Eww, Ty, try to be civilized for once." Another girl who we sit with named Jessica said. She was one of the first people Henry and I met here, and the only reason she wanted us here was so she could be more popular. After spending some time with her though, I have found that she's not completely horrible, a little annoying and shallow, but nice enough.

"House search?" I ask while swatting Henry's hand away from my chips without looking.

"Damn girl you're like a ninja! And the house search is for the Denali house." Tyler replies.

"Yeah, we go like every year." Jessica adds nodding like she thinks she's really helped explain things.

"You want to elaborate?"

"The Denali search is something we started doing in middle school after we heard the legend of the Denali family. Supposedly, there is a house somewhere out in the wilderness that has been around for hundreds of years. We always go about this time of year." Angela says quietly.

"Ang, you didn't even tell them the best part! The Denali family is supposed to have three insanely gorgeous sisters." Mike yells excitedly.

"And the story goes that they're hundreds of years old." Eric, another person in our lunch group, says.

"Yeah, anyway, we go every year because the guys refuse to admit that they don't exist," Lauren interjects while inspecting her nails.

"It's more of a group outing than anything else," Jessica adds.

"NO! They do exist! And when we finally find them I'm going to hook up with at least one of them and then my life will be complete," Mike says dreamily.

"Wow, Mike I can see you have such high aspirations in life." I say while shaking my head.

"Yeah, well, are you guys in?"

"Why not," Henry says with a bored tone."

"Henry!"

"What? It's not like we have anything better to do and it sounds like fun."

"What's wrong Bella, you scared?" Lauren says with a little too much satisfaction.

"If you're scared Bella, you don't have to worry, I'll take care of you." Wow, Mike weren't you just saying that you were going to hook up those Denali sisters?

"I'm not scared; I just don't think walking around the wilderness and getting lost will be fun."

The rest of the day was spent with everyone talking about the Denali house hunt, even Henry was getting excited about it.

"I can't believe you actually want to go on that trip."

"I can't believe you don't want to go, aren't you the one who's always saying you want more adventure in your life." Henry says while grabbing some cookies in our kitchen.

"Yeah, but walking around in a frozen waste land just does not sound appealing."

"Come on what's the worst that could happen?"

"Uh, we could get lost and die. Oh! Or we could be eaten by bears."

"Stop being so silly, I'm sure they know what they're doing."

"You seriously trust Mike Newton to know what he's doing?"

"Well, no but Angela and her boyfriend Ben wouldn't be going if they thought they were in any sort of danger."

"I guess..."

"Hey kids are you guys home?"

"No Dad, that's why my trucks in the drive way." Henry huffed.

Dad peeked his head in the kitchen and I went up to hug him, "Hey Dad how are you?"

"I'm fine Bells how are you kids doing?"

"Just peachy Father. Now if you'd excuse me I have homework to do."

"Henry wait! I have a surprise for you two."

We followed our day out the front door a brand new Chevelotte Avalanche. "What's this?" Henry says with a stink face.

"It's you guy's new car! I figured with this weather and road conditions a new car was in order." Dad says with a smile.

"Dad that's so thoughtful of you." I say with a smile looking at Henry pointedly.

"I'm not driving that thing."

"Henry, it would make me feel a lot better about you guys driving yourselves around if I knew you were in a much safer car."

"Oh, so this is about you!" Henry huffed before storming into the house.

My heart breaks for my Dad a little bit when I see the hurt in his eyes, "This really is great Dad."

"Thanks Bells." He says as he kisses my head and leads me to the house.

Author's note: Thank you to everyone who gave my story a chance. I honestly didn't really expect anyone to read it and to see that people have was really cool. Anyway, this was chapter one I hope you all liked it, and if you didn't well... yeah... anyway! I'm not sure how often I will be able to update but I promise to try and make it at least once a week.

Quote of the day: "Stop getting us wet man!" says the guy already in the water to the guy that splashed him and his friends.
