I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off.
Rise and Shine! I thought to myself. I looked over to my calendar hanging above my brand new study table, 18th January
First day of high school… this will be interesting. I can't believe that it has been 2 days! Anyway, am I ready? No. Am I excited? Yes? I guess.
I stumbled to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and showered and headed back to my room.
Hmm… what should I wear? I picked my dark red racer tank top, my grey pocket bomber jacket, and my jeans. I sprayed on my perfume, Elizabeth Arden's green tea perfume, and applied my lotion, bath and body work's wild berry and chamomile lotion.
I grabbed my bag and headed out. The fog wasn't as thick as it was in the morning. At least I won't fall and hurt myself I thought to myself. Just as I was walking I was greeted by Charlie.
"Good morning Dani," he greeted
"Good morning Charlie" I replied. Charlie's driveway now had not one but 2 more cars. There was a truck, it had a faded red color with big, rounded fenders and a bulbous cab. It was a lot like my car, well Ross's car… but red and looked like brand new –this one wasn't exactly new- and then there was a car which I identified as a Volkswagen Rabbit.
"Dani, this is Billy Black," Charlie said as he pointed at a man in a wheelchair
"This is Jacob Black, Billy's son," he said pointing at the tall boy standing next to a girl.
He awkwardly put a hand on the shoulder of the girl and introduced her
"And this is my daughter, Isabella,"
"Bella," she corrected. I smiled at her
"It's really nice to meet you all," I said "I wish I could talk to you guys longer but I gotta go to school, I want to head early to grab my schedule and stuff" but before I could say goodbye and leave
"Dani, are you going to walk to school?" Charlie asked again with the concerned look on his face. I just nodded
"Bella is going to school too… I'm sure she can take you with her," I looked at Bella, I knew my face was drawn with panic… I didn't want to bother anyone! she would think of me as a nuisance. But she just smiled at me
"Well we wouldn't want to be late on our first day," she said and opened her truck's door. I stumbled toward the truck
"You girls enjoy school," Charlie said and turned to Billy. I heard the truck roar to life, Bella seemed pleased with the sound and we took off. The truck was nice and dry. The tan seats smelled slightly of tobacco, gasoline, and peppermint
"So you are Ch-Dads new neighbor"
"Yeah… and you are his daughter," I bit my lip nervously.
"Sorry… I am not good around people," she said. I smiled at her
"I am not good around people either…" she smiled back at me.
"Is this a Chevy?" I asked inquisitively
"Umm… yeah, Jacob told me that it's a 1953 Chevy step side C-10 pickup truck, that kid sure does know a lot about cars for a 15-year-old," she said
"He is 15?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "I saw him driving…"
"Yeah he doesn't have a license but he drives anyway… wait aren't you 15?" she asked. I nodded and she signed
"I was kinda hoping you would be in my classes but since you are younger…" she looked very upset.
"At least we can see each other in the cafeteria and after school, we can hang out," I gave her a reassuring smile.
"We're here," she said and reluctantly stepped outside her truck. I could see how much she didn't want to step foot into the school. We both grabbed our schedules and maps. The lady in the office, Mrs. Cope went through the classes for both me and Bella, highlighting the best route for each on the map. She knew who Bella was since she was the daughter of the chief and little towns means lots of gossip. Bella and I headed back to the truck, just then all the students started arriving. I studied Bella's face, she had chocolate brown eyes just like me and the same pale skin. The only difference was our hair, she had long brown straight hair and I had long wavy brown hair with notes of caramel. I shifted my attention toward the parking lot, most of the cars were old like Bella's. The only car that stood out was a shiny new Volvo…
"Hey… I'll see you at the cafeteria, ok?" Bella said
"Ok, so are we friends now?" I joked. She laughed
"Yeah we are, see you…" and she took off.
The subjects went like a blur to me. I had pre-calculus done by Mr. Varner, he was the only teacher who made me introduce myself to the class. Since Folks high school was a small school, there were fewer teachers. But I wasn't really paying attention in class. My 6th sense was driving me nuts. But the question was Why? I looked forward to lunch getting my mind off these things. I was also looking forward to being with Bella... even though it was awkward at first we kinda just… clicked? I was at ease with Bella (it was weird, I was never at ease with anyone!). Finally, the bell rang! I stumbled to the cafeteria. I just wanted to shut my eyes and curl into a ball. I didn't want to look at the thousand (well not thousand) faces staring at me! I took in a deep breath… breath! I reminded myself. I sighed maybe if I wasn't such a freak I would have actually had friends and not be so anti-social.
"Dani over here!" I heard and looked towards Bella. She was surrounded by juniors. I smiled at her and walked towards her.
"Hey, Bella,"
"Hey" she replied "sit," she said pointing at the empty space beside her.
"Guys this is Dani," she introduced.
"Dani this is Mike, Jessica, Angela, Eric, Ben, and Lauren," she pointed out
"Nice to meet you all"
The boy with skin problems, Eric I presume began "Dani as in…"
"Daniella" I answered
"Oh so you are the girl who would be working in my mom's shop," said Mike. Oh, so his name is Mike Newton… I nodded. Just then the strangest feeling came over me, a signal shot up my spine. My mind was telling me to run, to escape but something was holding me back. I really couldn't understand what my 6th sense wants. It was woozy due to the sleeping pills. I take it to shut down my powers temporarily. I fixed my gaze on 5 strangers. My mind was going everywhere, so it was them setting my 6th sense off but again the million-dollar question is why? They sat in the corner of the cafeteria, far from where I sat. They weren't talking and they weren't eating though they had trays of untouched food in front of each of them. I switched my gaze over to an obsessed Bella and actually paid attention to what Jessica was blabbing.
"That's Edward and Emmet Cullen, and Rosalie and Jasper. The one who left was Alice Cullen; they all live together with Dr. Cullen and his wife,"
I traced Bella's gaze to Edward Cullen, the one with the untidy bronze hair. Why was she staring at them? Yes, they look inhumanly beautiful but I just find them weird. What appeals to her so much?
I saw Edward chuckle at my thoughts. My 6th sense started working, someone was in my head
"Quies" I yelled in my head and immediately covered my glowing red hands. I looked over to Edward. I could see many emotions cross his face but mostly confusion. Oh my! What the hell have I done?
A.N: So Quies means quiet in Latin and guys I'm so sorry for updating late; December is such a busy month but don't worry I won't abandon the story and if I do ill make sure to tell you (don't secretly hate me while staring at your computer since I didn't update) and guys I'm a bit disappointed since I didn't get any reviews... anyways enjoy reading!
