And School was boring as usual, I didn't like Forks much, it was always so gloomy, and because there wasn't a school in beaver I ended up going to Forks High School.
But I guess I was used to rain and coldness because before Beaver I had lived in England. I just thought America would have great weather, aparently not.
So the day passed by as a blurr, because of the fog or not. I'm not exactly sure.
A new girl had just joined our school, I had a feeling that it was the girl whose father bought the truck from Billy.
I know if I saw her driving it, it would look wrong.
I have a bunch of friends, they where great and all, but they wern't very interesting. And because the town was so... tight. Tight as in, people new each other, and their parents new eachother and so did their grandparents. So in this school there wasn't really cliques. It's a shame because thats another reason I didn't mind moving to america, I wanted to know what clique I would be in. We didn't have any back in England.
As the bell rang when I was already outside the building, I had a burning sensation on my ear. I had rememberd some silly thing about, when your ear is warm it means someone is talking about you. It was so weird that I nearly laughed.
But before I could even smile at the thought as I was getting on my school bus, I noticed something. It wasn't a school kid because it was just staring, with a black long coat. Leather, I think.
It was just outside the school in the bushes, not crouching, but just stood there. Not moving an inch. They looked at me for a second then something else caught their eye.
Whoever that person was, they had a hood, so it was imposible to tell if it was a male or female. All you could see was those eyes.
I quickly hopped on the bus, following Emily.
Thank crap it wasn't staring at me for long, I would ha-
"Tash? You okay? Your eyes arn't blinking." Emily said while waving a hand infront of my face. I snapped out of my trance and smiled at her.
"Haha, I was daydreaming, sorry." I was a good liar, never really made me guilty either. Bad trait.
She sighed and pulled out her Ipod and handed me an earphone.
I tried to go back to myself. Hopefully taking drama will help me.
"Thank youuuuu." I grinned. "Can I have a look at the songs?"
"Of course." She grinned back, unaware or the person who was staring at her back there.
I decided not to tell her, it will only make her worry way to much. And, it was probably just my mind playing tricks on me, that person in the leather coat couldn't have been that... Obsessed looking.
I got home just before it started pouring down. I was so hungry, so I got out a yoghurt and headed to the living room with my homework. My mum wouldn't get back till 5 so I turned the CD player on, and turned it up loud.
Before I knew it I had only done 2 peices of homework and my mum was now coming through the door, I tidied up a bit. "Hey, mum." "Hi. The landlord said he would be coming today, so can you tidy up abit?" She hardly looked at me when she was putting her coat away and picking a few bits up from the side table.
"Um, okay." I grabbed all of my things and headed upstairs.
I gave up on doing my Geography and turned on my computer. I finally got Google up when there was a knock at the door. I didn't want to seem rude so I walked downstairs to get some chocolate and say hi to the guy.
My mum held open the door as our landlord, Simon shook his brolly outside.
"Good afternoon, Sarah." He smiled. "'Afternoon. Would you like a cup-a-tea?" She asked, I speed walked to the kitchen before she could ask-
"Tash! Can you make me and Simon some tea."
Dang. It's not like I don't want to help my mum, it's just that she asks me all the time.
"Sure..." I mumbled as I turned the kettle on. I grabbed a chocolate bar and ate it in two bites.
I made the tea and carefully walked to the living room trying not to spill it.
"So, you said there was something important to tell me." My mum said.
"Yes, well. The thing is..." He trailed off and then pulled a peice of paper out of his bag. It looked like a contract.
"I've sold the houses around here to LK Housing Estate." And there it read at the top of the page he handed us. Right In bold writing LK HOUSING ESTATE.
"What does that mean?" My mum asked with a tint of anger.
"It means that I won't be your landlord anymore if you want to stay living around here. And that if you do, your going to have to buy a house from LK." He explained.
I swear I saw my mum twitch. She didn't take things easy.
"But if there is an estate here, that means that there going to knock down the houses that are in the way. Are you trying to tell us that they are knocking down our house?" Her volume had risen.
"Yes, but the good thing is that any house you buy in the estate will be cheaper, that's their deal to anyones house they knock down." He was going to be in for it soon if he didn't shut up.
"Where the hell are we going to live when this estate is being built? I'm not stupid, this estate will take years to build!" Too late, he is already in for it.
"Well, I have many houses-" My mum cut him off.
"If it's nowhere near here, then I'm not buying."
"Well, it's not that far away." "This is ridiculous." She got up and started pacig around the room.
"I'm very sorry, Mrs Lawson." He got up and put the sheet back in his black leather bag. "If you have any questions, or want to buy or rent a house from me, just call."
She gave him a glare and began pacing again.
"This is my 5 weeks notice for you."
"Five weeks?" She ran her hand through her hair. "How nice of you for telling us so soon." She remarked sarcasticly.
"I'll let myself out." He smiled uncomfortably.
He walked out the room and in a few seconds later the door slammed.
"I can't believe it! What was he thinking, five weeks?" My mum rambled on.
I fell on the couch. We have to move house? I stayed quiet for a bit while my mum was still ranting and raving.
"...Where are we going to live?" She asked, suddenly sounding hopeless.
It was one of those moments when a lightbulb should apear on the top of your head.
"La Push."
