Love Story

DISCLAIMER: IT ALL BELONGS TO STEPHENIE MEYER. I'M JUST BORROWING HER FANTASTIC MADE UP WORLD FOR THERAPY. Please don't sue me I have no money. My mom needs me around as well as she is battling cancer.

FIRST FANFIC EVER (BE KIND) Let me know of any spelling, grammar, or just plain goof's you guys' see and I'll work on fixing them.

A/N: Please note that Bella still dress's simple but I give her a little more fashion sense. She still hates to shop but she does have taste. I just couldn't have her going to school wearing a bowling shirt. I'm the youngest out of a large family. Even though we had to shop at thrift stores and super stores are clothes and rooms always looked good. So I'm using the idea of even though Bella's not rich and even though she doesn't like to shop doesn't mean she likes to live in squander.

Also Note that she'll have different teachers as this is her freshman year and not her junior year. Also I made it were she was taking Biology I her freshman year. Junior year will be Biology II. That's how my school did it when I was in high school.

Chapter 2

BELLA'S POV

The plane ride was only three hours long. I took the time to get myself together as I would need to mentally prepare myself for all the asinine questions the kids at Fork's High School would ask me. I knew that they didn't know anything about my accident but I'm sure they would want to know why my mom was sending me to stay with Charlie after all this time. I really wish I had been more social and knew some of the kids I would be going to school with. I usually only spent time with my dad or his friends up at La Push when I visited.

I guess I'll just tell everyone that I missed my dad and wanted a chance to get to know him more before it was time to go away to University. I would have to hide any ill feelings at being sent to Forks that meant pretending that I was happy to be there. I was a horrible actor but my sanity depended on me putting on an Oscar winning performance. I wanted to put the last year of my life behind me and move on. My body was healed now it was time that I healed emotionally as well. As mom said this was my second chance now all I had to do was embrace it.

" Attention all passenger's we are now landing please take your seats and buckle up."

Twenty Minutes Later

As I was making my way out of the airlines I saw Charlie leaning up against his cruiser waiting for me. I walked the ten feet over and set my bags in between us.

Charlie grabbed my bugs to place them in my trunk. " Are you hungry Bella?"

"No, I ate on the plane. If your hungry I could make you something to eat. Do you have grocery's at the house or do we need to stop at the market?" I asked him as we got into the cruiser.

"Don't worry about me. I'll just eat a sandwich you need to relax tonight." My dad said as we got on the highway to head back to Forks.

Three and Half Hours Later

The ride into Forks had been a quiet one. Ever since I reached puberty Charlie hasn't known what to do with me. I think at times I scare him. We pulled into the driveway and Charlie got my bags out of the trunk.

"I put the two boxes you sent in your room. Also I've saved up some money and Renee pitched in for you to be able to go by some bedding. I know you'll probably want to update the room we haven't really done anything to it since you were little. I want you to be comfortable Bella."

"Dad you don't have to buy me anything."

"Bella I'm your dad it's my job to take care of you. Please let me do this for you. I know the last year as been hard on you and I know most of your stuff was destroyed in the brake in you guys' had. I don't want to hear any more arguments." Charlie said as he handed me an envelope. "Let me know if you need more money Bella to fix up your room or buy more clothes."

I knew there would be no arguing with him. I wasn't use to this though. I was usually the one taken care of mom reminding her that I needed lunch money or to pay the bills. So I took the envelope from him.

"Thanks dad. I want to get a job though is there anyplace hiring?" I asked as I put the envelope in the back pocket of my jeans. As we climbed the stairs and made it towards my bedroom.

"Well, you might be able to get a job baby-sitting or at the market bagging grocery's. You'd have to wait tell your 16 to be able to get a job anywhere else." Charlie said as we walked into my room.

The room was small. With a twin size mattress sitting on the floor. There was an old desk across the room leaning against the wall. The room only had one window but it had a window seat. The window was framed by yellowing lace curtains that had been originally put up by my mom. The walls were still the same color she had picked out when she was pregnant with me and the hardwood floors were covered by a thread bare rug. The room needed a make over; it looked like I would have to endure shopping. I would go into town tomorrow and do some shopping after school.

" Dad how will I be getting to school?" I asked as I sat down on my bed.

" I'll take you tomorrow and you can get a bus schedule. I remember how much you hate being seen in the cruiser. If you make any friends that you want to ride to school in just let me know who they are. We have a couple of kids in town that I have no idea how they got their driver's license. You have your driver's permit don't you?" My dad asked from my doorway.

" Yeah I got it last September after my birthday."

"Okay well look into getting you a reliable car closer to your birthday. I don't want to worry about who your in the car with and I know how independent you are. Let me know if you need anything. I'll be downstairs watching the game. There are some extra Linens in your closet you can pick out something you like when you go shopping."

Then he was gone. It's one of the things I love about Charlie he doesn't hover. Mom would have wanted to spend the whole night catching up and talking until the sun rose. I'm a little shocked at how much Charlie talked tonight I think that was the longest conversation we've ever had. I made up the bed as I was getting tired. Unpacking would have to wait until tomorrow. I set the alarm on my watch and phone so I would get up in plenty of time to take a shower and eat breakfast before I had to go to school.

______________________________________________________________________

5:30 AM

BEEP... BEEP...BEEP

"Uh." I slowly lift up my head trying to wake up and become a little more aware of my surroundings. I didn't want to fall off the bed my first day here. I reached for my watch and cellphone to turn off the alarms and am meet with cold air. My breath was visible in the room. This is going to be fun I thought.

I wrapped myself up in my blanket grateful that I fell asleep with my socks on or my toes might have fallen off when my feet touched the hardwood floors. I went out into the hall way to the thermostat and saw that the heater was turned off. I quickly turned it on and set the temperature for 70 degrees. Dad was going to have to get use to the fact that his daughter was not an Eskimo; he would have to start paying for heat.

I went back into my room and opened up my suitcase taking out the dark skinny jeans, dark green turtleneck, my black knee high boots with no heel, and my black peacoat.

After my shower and after getting dressed. I spent five minutes putting lipgloss and a little mascara on. I'm always terrified that I'll poke my eye out while applying the mascara. I put my watch on and headed down the stairs to grab a bowel of cereal. I found Charlie sitting at the kitchen table eating his cereal and reading the paper. He had made enough coffee for me to be able to enjoy a cup.

"Dad can I have the rest of the coffee or were you going to take some with you to go?"

"You can have it. I'll have another cup at the station. When did you start drinking coffee?"

"A couple of months ago. Is it okay if I go into town after school. I want to do see if any of the antique or thrift stores might have anything good for my room. I'll probably have to go into Port Angeles or order stuff online to get some stuff."

"Yeah that's fine. When your done shopping meet me at the station we'll go to the grocery store so you can pick out some food you like." Charlie said as I made my cup of coffee and bowel of cereal.

"Sounds good. You know Dad I can cook now if you want me to start cooking supper for us. I've only had one accident in the kitchen in the last three years and it was because mom scared me that the accident happened at all." I said trying to persuade him that it was a good idea. Charlie couldn't cook we mostly ate at the local diner or ate take out when I visited him.

"That works for me Bella if you don't mind that is. I'll even count it has one of your chores. I'll be giving you an allowance of twenty dollars a week as long as you cook supper, put your dishes away, do your laundry, clean the bathroom up when your done using it I don't want to see makeup left all over the sink, keep your room clean, and help out around the house when I ask."

"That sounds fair dad. I'm used to having chores." I said as I finished my coffee and bowel of cereal.

"Get your bag Bella we need to head out if you want to make it to first period on time." Charlie said as he placed his dishes in the sink and went to go get his gun from it's resting spot.

I quickly washed our used dishes and put them on the drying rack. I ran upstairs and grabbed my wallet and black back pack. As I ran downstairs and out the front door I prayed that I would l make it through the day without making an idiot out of my self.

______________________________________________________________________

Charlie dropped me off and at the front of the school thirty minutes early. Charlie must have noticed that I was beginning to panic as he turned towards me and sighed. Charlie was really trying but he didn't have much experience dealing with teenage girls and their unstable emotions.

"Principal Smith is waiting for you don't worry he just wants to welcome you to Forks High. I've already explained everything to him and he's spoken to the principal from your old school. He thinks you got a rotten deal. Don't stress out Bella the school is excited to have you as your an honor roll student who has never been in trouble before the accident. I'll see you at the station at six o'clock that's when my shift ends."

"Thanks dad. I'll see you later. If you need me after school I'll have my cellphone on." I exited the cruiser and walked up the three stairs into the school building. The administration office was right in front of me. So I walked through the doors to see a red haired women behind the desk working on some paperwork she looked up when heard the bell above the door ding.

" Can I help you?"

" Yes, I have a meeting with Principal Smith this morning I'm Isabella Swan."

"Of course. Wait one moment while I go see if he is ready to meet with you." She rounded the corner and came back a minute later all smiles like she didn't have a care in the world. " Let me go ahead and give you these forms to complete and return at the end of the day. Also here is your slip have all your teachers sign by their names and return to me at the end of the day. Here is a map of the school color coded with your schedule so it's easier to find you way around. Now Mr. Smith is ready to meet with you go to the right and his office is the third door on the left. Have a good day Miss. Swan."

"Thank you." I said as I took the paperwork from her. I made my way down the hall and found Mr. Smith's office with no trouble as his name was posted outside his door. I knocked and waited for his response.

The door was opened by a middle aged man with graying hair. He wore a brown suit with a white dress shirt and red tie. " Hello Ms. Swan. We don't get many new student's at our school and I just wanted to take the time to personally welcome you to Forks High." He told me as he gestured for me to take a seat as he closed his office door and sat behind his desk.

"Ms. Swan I want to let you know that I've spoken with both your parents, your former teachers, and principal. I looked over your records and I made up my mind that your an excellent student. What happened last year was tragic but an accident. Know due to court orders I had to share your records with your teachers but we will not be disclosing your past to your fellow student's or parent's. I even had the teacher's sign confidentiality papers as I was told of the problem's you had back home. I don't tolerate harassment or bulling at my school. A student should feel safe when at school. Let me know if you have any problems Ms. Swan and I'll take care of it."

I was flabbergasted this man had never meet me before but he cared. He cared about my well being.

"Thank you sir. I'm going to do my best to live up to your standards but you need to know sir that I'm very accident prone. I tend to fall at least two times a day and that's in surroundings I know. I'm going to try my best not to cause any accident's but just to let you know the fire wasn't the first time I hurt school property."

"Ms. Swan I saw your records I know about your past but I also know your family. Did you know that your dad's sister was as accident prone as you as an adolescent, I think she was more so. She took out have the marching band, knocked down half the shelves in the library, and totaled our principal's car just her freshman year. It's part of your gene's and I understand that. Know you better get going are you'll be late to first period. My door is always open Ms. Swan."

I left Mr. Smith's office in a daze. Maybe Forks, WA was were I belonged. I'd never felt so welcomed and at home. I exited the building and looked for building three I found it behind the cafeteria. The building had a painted black three on the corner. I made my way into the classroom and found Mr. Conner's classroom. I walked into the class and was greeted by a pale dark headed six foot three man. He was wearing a black seater, charcoal pants, and black leather boots.

"Hello you must be Isabella Swan. I'm Mr. Conner we have assigned seats so please take the last chair on the fifth aisle as that's our only available seat. Here is the reading list you need to have read all the books on that list by the end of the semester. Each student must turn in at least ten written essay's and five oral essay's from the book's listed on that sheet. The instructions and grading guidelines are attached."

I made my way to my assigned seat and read though the list. There were about fifty novels listed on the sheet but I had read at least forty of the novels and written about six of the fifteen essays. I would have to rework the essay's freshen them up but I as least had somewhere to start. The teacher began the class they were discussing Romeo and Juliet my favorite classic of all time.

By the end of the period I had impressed Mr. Conner by being able to answer three of his questions and debate with a fellow student, I think her name was Lori wait no it was Lauren. Lauren gave me a look that would have melted a glacier, I think I've made my first enemy. It only took me two hours I think that has to be a new peronal record. I didn't really have friends back home even before the fire I didn't really care to have any now. I just want to make the grades I need to be able to get to University to get somewhere in life.

______________________________________________________________________

Second and Third period flew by. Before I knew it I was sitting in the cafeteria enjoying my lunch with some potential friends. Jessica, Angela, Eric, and Mike seemed to be genuine people who were really interested in getting to know me. I was eating my spinach salad when the cafeteria doors opened and a fresh gust of wind brushed against my back. I glanced over my shoulder and saw a group of kids walk into the room. They were breathtakinly beautiful. A boy more a man walked in dressed in all white except for his under shirt that was a sea blue that was picking out from his dress shirt. He was huge he had to be a body builder. He had short curly brown hair and rich Carmel eyes. He was all muscle and on his arm was a real life barbie. She had a tiny waist but amazing curves. She wore designer blue jeans and a sea blue coat. She had long blonde curly hair that reached mid back and blood red lips. The couple that followed them were just as beautiful. The boy had blond curly hair and his eyes were dark black with almost a tinge of red to them. He wore a combination of white and blue as well. The girl twirling around him was petite at a little bit below five feet. The word pixie came to mind as I looked at her. She had a serene but all knowing look in her honey colored eyes. She wore designer blue jeans, a white empire shirt with a blue gray vest over it. Her black hair was cut short and flew in all all looked as if they had been carved from marble their skin was so white it was almost translucent. The all walked to the deserted table in the back of the cafeteria.

"There the Cullens." Jessica said as she saw me staring. "I know their gorgeous. The one who resembles a wrestler is Emmett Cullen he is a sophomore and the model hanging on his arm is Rosalie Hale a sophomore as well. The one who looks like he is in pain is her twin Jasper Hale and the tiny one is Alice Cullen she's a freshman. Their the adoptive children of Dr. Cullen and his wife. They recently moved into town this summer right before school started."

As I was about to ask Jessica another question a Greek god walked into the cafeteria. He was about six foot with bronze hair that was all over the place. He had dark black eyes and his skin was pale like the Cullens. He was wearing a simple pair of jeans and blue T-shirt that hung to his muscles.

"That's Edward Cullen he's a freshmen like us but he thinks he's too good for the girls of Forks High." Jessica said as Edward passed by our table. I wonder if he heard us because he had the most adorable smirk on his face. He was gorgeous more so than the others at least I thought so. My heart gave a little tug when I looked at him again sitting next to his brother Emmett."

"Their all together. It's disgusting." Jessica muttered.

"Jess, their not really related, well except for Rosalie and Jasper." Angela gasped.

"Yeah but they live together. It's unnatural." Jessica said. Angela rolled her eyes and began asking me questions about Phoenix. I answered her questions distractedly as I continued to sneak peaks at the Cullen table. I wondered if I would have any classes with Alice or Edward. I couldn't explain the way I was feeling to you whenever I caught a glimpse of Edward. I wanted to know him, I wanted to kiss him, to be wrapped in his arms. As I snook another look our eyes caught and his lips turned up like he had tasted something foul. He quickly turned to his brother Emmett and made a disgruntled move and jerked his head over to our table. Jessica was right Edward Cullen was a jerk.

AN: Please review let me know what you think of the story. If you see any errors tell me and I'll fix them. I'm writing this story with little to no sleep and under the duress of pain killers so I know I'm probably missing some things when I proofread. I hate being sick it's such an inconvenience.

Also the next chapter will be mostly Bella and Edward together I promise.
