Moonlight
The First Day
BellaPOV
" What if I don't make any friends?" I asked worriedly.
We were all sitting at the breakfast table. Today was our first day of school. Dad had taken the first two hours off work so he could take us to school. Emmett and Jasper had argued and said they could get their themselves but I had convinced them that having Dad their would be fine. I can be very convincing when I wanted to be. And stubborn.
Dad had been so nice since we arrived. He had even bought us welcome home presents. I had gotten the entire Harry Potter series and a book on supernatural stuff. I love all that kind of stuff. Vampires, ghosts, witches, wizards. It was all so fascinating. Jasper had gotten a history series on the Civil War and tickets to his favourite band, Linkin Park. Emmett had only received one present but it was an awesome one. A massive deep reed Jeep Wrangler. It was the car we would take to school everyday.
" Of course you'll make friends sweetie," Dad said ruffling my hair. Normally I would have ducked out from underneath his hand but since I was still in my pj's and hadn't brushed my hair yet, I didn't.
" Yeah, you're very likable," Jasper said.
" Come on Boo. You'll make friends. You practically attract buddies," Emmett mumbled through his breakfast.
" You finished Bells? Go get dressed," Dad said and I nodded, hurrying up to my room.
We all have our own rooms. Mine was a light blue. I walked to my wardrobe and threw the doors open.
I wasn't totally obsessed with clothes, but I do like to look good. I did want to make a good impression on my first day, so I took out a top I had gotten from Mum for my birthday.
Oh by the way, it was my birthday yesterday. I was officially thirteen.
Anyway, the top was black with Tinker belle on it. I also put on blue skinny jeans and a half, zip-up, black jumper, with my Gladiators.
I pulled my hair up in a high ponytail and walked back down stairs.
" Very nice," Emmett said before wolf whistling. I blushed and laughed.
" Ready to go?" I asked.
" Yep, we were just waiting on the girl to make her self look beautiful," Jazz said slyly. I stuck my tongue out at him before walking out to the garage. Dad and Em got in the front seat and Jazz and I got in the back. Jasper had to give me a boost up; the car was so tall. Emmett thought that was hilarious and spent the entire wide to school laughing, while I blushed a deep tomato red.
When we arrived at our new school, I started to get very nervous. And when I get nervous or scared, you know what happens. I bite my lip. I was being careful, though, to make sure I didn't break the skin this time.
" It will be all right, Bella. I love you and I will see you tonight," Dad said hugging me. He said goodbye to the buys and walked out the gate. The police station was just down the road.
" Come on let's go get signed in," Jasper said taking my hand.
We walked through the school with everyone staring at us. In a small town like Forks, any new person was the cause of much gossip. When we reached the office, I nearly dove through the door, trying to escape the stares.
" Hello dears, you must be the Swans," a redheaded lady said from her desk. Yes, we had been expected.
" Yes, I'm Emmett Swan and this is my brother Jasper and sister, Isabella," Emmett introduced us.
" Grade 12, 10 and 8?" the lady asked.
" Yes thank you, Miss-? Emmett said.
" Cope, Mrs Cope," the lady replied. Emmett smiled and we walked out. I looked down at my timetable.
" French, English, Dance, Maths, Lunch, Gym, History and Biology," I read.
" That's not bad. I start with Maths," Jasper said as the bell rang.
" See you guys at Lunch," Emmett said and he walked off. Jazz gave me a hug and left. I took a deep breath and hurried off the French.

" Hey, I'm Ella. What's your name?" a small girl with dark brown, curly hair asked. She looked nice enough.
" Bella Swan," I replied. Ella smiled.
" I love that name. It I like mine," she giggled, " However, my full name is Eloise,"
" My full name is Isabella," I smiled.
" Do you want to sit with my friends and I at lunch?" Ella asked.
" Yeah, that would be great thanks," I smiled.
After that French was pretty boring. I had already learnt most of this stuff.
" What class do you have now?" Ella asked at the end.
" Um, English with Norris," I replied. Ella smiled.
" Me too. And all my friends are in that class also," she said.
We walked to the English block and I sat next to Ella. Her friends walked in soon after and sat down next to us.
" Hey guys, this is Bella Swan. Bella, this is Rebecca, who prefers Bec, Summer, Skye and Sydney," Ella introduced me. They all smiled and I grinned back.
Rebecca was tall with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. Summer was medium build with blonde hair and really light brown eyes. Skye was short like Ella and I, with brown hair and blue eyes and Sydney was really tall with red hair and green eyes.
After English, I had Dance with Bec, Sydney and Ella. It was fun we were learning Tap.
I had Maths with Bec and then it was off to Lunch.
When we got to the Lunchroom, I looked around for my brothers. I found them sitting at the same table as three other teenagers.
" I'll be back in a minute," I said to Ella and I walked over t the table.
" And then I jumped – oh hey Bella," Emmett said. I smiled and stood next to Jasper's chair.
" This is our sister Bella. Bella this is Rosalie, Alice and Edward," Jasper said.
They were all beautiful. Pale skin, golden eyes and flawless skin. Even as I thought that, it reminded me of something but I couldn't remember what. Alice had short black, spiky hair, Rosalie had long, wavy, blond hair but it was Edward that caught my attention.
His hair was bronze. Like Renesmee's hair. He was also beautiful. He caught my eyes and my breath hitched in my throat as I stared back. We stayed like that for ages.
" She is in Grade 8," Emmett said, somewhat forcefully. Edward dropped his gaze.
" Edward and Alice are twins and they are in my grade and Rosalie is in Emmett's grade," Jasper said. I smiled but also thought that Edward and Alice looked older than fifteen.
" I am sitting with my new friends," I said. Em and Jazz nodded and I walked away.
" You know the Cullens?" Skye asked in awe as I walked over.
" Someone is sitting with the Cullens. That is unusual," Sydney said, frowning at my brothers.
" No, I don't know the Cullens but those people are my brothers," I said.
" Wow, the brown-haired one is a hottie," Summer said staring at Jasper, " What is his name?"
" Jasper, and Emmett is the bronzy-haired one," I said.
" Age?" Summer asked. I felt like I was in interrogation.
" Jasper is nearly 15 and Emmett is nearly 17," I replied, " Are you done with the questions?"
The others laughed and Summer blushed.
" So where did you move from?" Sydney asked.
" Australia," I replied.
" Why did you move?" Skye asked.
" To live with my dad,"
" Is you mum still in Australia?" asked Ella.
" Yes,"
" Where do you live now?" asked Bec.
" Reed Street,"
" Are you serious? We all live in that street as well," Bec said. I smiled.
The rest of the day past smoothly and when I walked out to Emmett's car, I was smiling.
" Nice day?"
I jumped and turned around. Edward was leaning against a red convertible. He pushed away from it and walked over to me.
" Yeah, I made some friend," I replied, still smiling.
" You look a lot like your brothers, but you have something about you that is totally different," he said looking into my eyes.
" You don't look much like you twin. You must be fraternal," I said. Edward stiffened and stepped back.
" Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or anything," I said. I put my head down.
" No it is all right. We may not look alike but we are very close. It is a twin thing, you wouldn't understand," he said, smiling slightly.
I frowned. How dare he.
" Well your wrong!" I yelled at him and ran out the gate. Edward just stood there, staring dumbfounded.
" Bella!" he yelled. I didn't turn. I just kept running, half blinded by tears.
I ran all the way home and burst through the front door. I sprinted to my room and collapsed on my bed.
Edward had said the thing I have been trying to bury. I had never really grieved for Nessie, as I was five when it happened.
But Edward had brought all of that to the surface. Memories of my lost sister came flooding back.
I vaguely felt my phone vibrate on the bed beside me but I ignored it, too caught up in my grief. I felt like I sat there for hours but it was only about ten minutes.
BANG!
The front door burst open and I heard my brothers yelling. I stayed still. Soon after, my door was thrown open. Emmett and Jasper stood there.
" " Oh no Bella. What happened?" Jasper asked, coming over and pulling me onto his lap.
" E-e-edwar-r-rd," I sobbed.
" What did he do to you?" Emmett asked fiercely.
" Renesmee," I whispered.
" Huh?"
I eventually sobbed out the story.
" Oh bub. It will be all right. He didn't know. Calm down," Jasper hushed in my ear, rocking me like a baby. Emmett came over and pulled me into a massive bear hug.
When Dad came home, I was washed up and helping Emmett with dinner.
" How was your day?" he asked cheerfully.
" It was great. I made five friends," I said just as cheerfully.
Dad didn't need to know what happened after school.
" Oh yeah? Who?" he asked.
" Uh, Rebecca Bailiff, Ella Sampson, Summer Johnson, Skye Taylor and Sydney Sanders," I said.
" Oh, they all live in our street," Dad replied, " and what about you boys?"
" I met Rosalie Hale and Jasper met Edward and Alice Cullen. We sat with them at lunch," Emmett replied.
" Ah yes. The Cullens. A wonderful family. Dr. Cullen is very talented and Mrs. Cullen is brave to take in orphaned twins and then another girl," Dad said, " and those kids are very nice. Especially that Edward. Very considerable and kind,"
I coughed, dad looked at me and, blushing, I excused myself from the table.
I had a shower and got into bed. I was exhausted that I was asleep before my head even hit the pillow.
A/N: Hey everyone… you know how I said I might do a series..? Well I have decided that I will… I might do more than three stories… Not sure but will keep you posted… :P
