"D-do you mind if I sit with you?" Alice asked the girl that she had recognised.

"No. Not at all." She replied as she looked Alice up and down. Alice knew that this girl was bad news. She was the goody-two-shoes of Forks High and this girl. Well she had a reputation. Alice pulled a book out of her bag. Trying not to rip the wings she clipped the top back on and started to read. It was a book that she had noticed and picked up in English called Children of the Dust. Then she recognised a qoute from T.S Elliots Hollow men. 'This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.' As Alice looked at the girl sat opposite she finally understood what that quote meant. After they Nuclear war or whatever was going to end the world it would be the people like the girl sat opposite that would survive. Through pure instinct. And people like her would drag them down into the depression that they had settled into. She sighed. Drawing attention from the girl opposite. She surprised Alice by starting to speak.

"Whats your name?" The girl asked looking Alice straight in the eye.

"Alice. You?" She replied attempting not to stutter and for now suceeding

"Isabella. But everyone calls me Bella." The girl replied her Chocolate brown orbs not leaving Alice's jade ones*

"Bella." Alice repeated. Liking the way the name rolled off her tongue.

"I haven't seen you around school muchh Bella. Why?" Alice asked curiosity getting the better of her.

"I was working." Bella replied simply.

"Oh." Alice replied turning back to her book. Conversation stopper much.

"Now approaching central Forks." The annoying** train lady annoucned.

"This is my stop." Both girls said in sync. Alice giggled which caused Bella to look at her like she was from another planet.

"Umm where do you live?" Bella asked looking like she was trying her hardest not to run.

"About five minutes East of the train station. You?" Alice replied her voce becoming high and chirpy

"Same. I live at 666 Duved drive. You?" They were off the train at this point walking East of the train station

"Oh my god. I live at 665 Duved drive." Alice's high voice went even higher (If that was possible.)

"Well how about we ride together on the train tomorrow then." Said Bella

"Sure. So your actually coming to school tomorrow then?" Alice asked dodging Bella's playful punch.

"Yea. Unless a case comes up." Bella replied lighting a ciggarette. Alice immediatly put her hand in her pocket.

"Could you please not smoke near me?" Alice asked dodging away again and pulling an inhalor*** out of her pocket.

"Oh. Sorry." Bella said stubbing the ciggarette out on the end of her walking stick.

"Well. I'll see you tomorrow." Alice said waving as she unlocked the front door.

"Sure." Replied Bella turning the handle of her front door of her house and then kicking it.


*I had to make up Alice's eye colour but I think she would look cute with green eye's so if you don't like it stop reading
