The airplane rides felt long. too long. Phoenix to Seattle was a drag and Seattle to Port Angeles more so. As I landed in the wet mist that was Port Angeles, I noticed more and more of the sopping green that covered everything. Charlie... no- my dad picked me up from the small airport. It was awkward in his police cruiser. He tried to speak, and I gave him props for that at least. It was at most something small like [["your hair changed"]] [["youll like school here"]] [["hows your mom?"]] We arrived at the place I now called [[home...|enter the house]]

The kitchen was quaint. Yellow cabinets my mother once painted to bring sun into such a sullen room. it didn't work. The living room was a drag, an old couch and a tv that had both seen many a tv dinner. Up the stairs were three doors, one leading to Charlie's room, the other leading to the tiny bathroom I was now forced to share with him, and finally my new [[room.|bedroom]]

Charlie showed me into my new room. He muttered something asking if I liked the floral, purple bedsheets. All I could mutter back was "..yeah- purples cool" He left soon after that. which was good, he did not linger. I was left alone to unpack in the cramped, small room. I didn't sleep well that night. I couldn't sleep good knowing I had to go to [[school|school day]] in this wretched place.

I woke early to the unfamiliar sound of the pounding rain. Groggy, upset, and annoyed, I got out of bed. My shower was quick and I slipped on <<cycle "$outfit" autoselect>> <<option "low rise jeans with a long sleeve, tight henley and a plaid jacket">> <<option "low rise jeans with a skirt over with a lacey button top and a cropped vest">> <<option "cargo pants with a sweater and some jewlery">> <<option "a skirt with tights and some leg warmers with a baggy striped sweater">> <</cycle>> [[I walked down the stairs|breakfast]]

I patter down the stairs, eating a meager [[breakfast|cereal]] I dread knowing that I'll show up in a police cruiser on my first day. I glance outside to see a new vehicle outside. Two actually. One is a fabulous old red pick up truck. Older than any car on the block, but strong and dependable. The other is an old van, where I see my father and some girl helping a man into a wheelchair. I slip my backpack on and go to [[greet them|meet julie]]

I exit the house, getting a wave over from Charlie. "Hey Bells, this is Billy Black, remember?" I did. They went fishing when I used to visit. My gaze turns to the girl with them. She's around my age, taller than me, with the most beautiful long hair ive ever seen. "Yeah, I remember. You're Julie- right?" She gave a nod and a smile. <<if $outfit is "low rise jeans with a long sleeve, tight henley and a plaid jacket">> "I like your outfit" She said as she looked me up and down. I gave an awkward smile and a small muttered thank you. She made me awkward, and I was unsure why. She tossed me a ring of keys and told me to catch. I didn't. I'm not agile. Charlie chuckled before slapping his hand on the [[red pickup.]] "how d'you like it Bells?" <<elseif $outfit is "low rise jeans with a skirt over with a lacey button top and a cropped vest">> She looked me up and down, glancing to her dad and back to me. She seemed guarded, maybe a little judgemental. My father chimed in awkwardly "Well Bells, do you want to take your new ride over to school?" I looked perplexed before Julie handed me a small ring of [[keys]] hesitantly. <<elseif $outfit is "cargo pants with a sweater and some jewlery">> Her gaze looked me up and down, as if analyzing me. Her opinion seemed fiercely guarded. She handed me a ring of keys from her pocket before Charlie chimed in. "hope you like your [[homecoming gift]] Bells-" <<elseif $outfit is "a skirt with tights and some leg warmers with a baggy striped sweater">> The air filled awkwardly. She handed me a ring of keys. "You can drive it right?" she asked hesitantly "...drive what?" I responded, almost more hesitantly "The truck- your truck" Charlie chimed in. "I hadn't told her yet, you like it though, right Bells?" My eyes fell onto the red pickup and I glanced back to both of them [["no way..."]] <</if>>

I grabbed the ring of keys hesitantly "oh! Dad no way! Thank you!" The relief I felt was palpable. I wouldnt show up like the freak in the police chiefs car on my first day. I gave Julie a look over, she seemed relaxed. She gave me a small grin "I fixed up the engine- Its loud but itll run just fine" her dad gave her a good firm pat on the back and chimed "a whiz with engines this one- That truck will get you anywhere Bella, dont you worry" I gave them both a solid smile "wow- guys- thank you! This is insane!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the truck "cmon, I'll show you the ropes-" her touch was warm, <<cycle "$touch" autoselect>> <<option "comforting">> <<option "odd">> <<option "offputting">> <</cycle>> [[i let her drag me into the truck|truck]]

My hands held the keys firmly. I paused before speaking "theres no way- Dad you didnt need to!" A smile cracked onto my face. I opened the passenger and tossed my backpack in. "you can drive a stick, right?" Julie chimed out from behind me. I turned and gave her a nod. She moved and leaned against the truck. "I replaced a ton of the engine, so its loud but reliable. It chugs a bit but you should be fine." I gave another nod with a smile "thank you!" [[offer to drive her to school]] [[dont offer]] ADD IMAGE

"the- the truck?" I questioned him. There was no way. There apparently was a way. He confirmed it was mine and I nearly jumped with joy. "oh my god- Dad you didnt have to-" Julie grabbed my arm, dragging me to the car with a smile. My heart stopped for just a moment. She shoved me into the drivers side before hopping into the passengers. "I replaced a lot of the engine- so it should run just fine- its a little dirty but nothing a little elbow grease cant fix-" She gave me a warm smile "if you need any help cleaning, I'd love to come over and give you a hand" [[accept offer]] [[deny offer]]

"oh my god dad no way!" Relief flooded over me, I wouldnt have to take the police car into my first day I swung back to the truck, admiring the sturdy beauty that it was "its uh- its a stick shift- and I replaced the engine so its loud but it'll work.." I turned to face Julie, she seemed awkward for some reason. Nervous. "thank you! You did all that?" She nodded. Her eyes flickered around me but never on me. "uh- yeah" The air filled awkwardly with silence. I stepped toward the truck, cracking the passengers door open and swinging my backpack in. My father spoke "well Bells, you best head out- or you'll be late" I turned and nodded. I faced Billy and a still hesitant Julie and nodded, "thank you- this is amazing- uh, Julie, dyou need a ride? To school I mean?" She shook her head. She did not speak I awkwardly nodded after a while of the silence. "uhm- okay then- bye-" I muttered before climbing into the drivers. The truck roared thunderously to life. [[i left for school|school9]]

[[I wont.|girls]]

[[Infinitly happier than me.|girls]]

All we had was cereal and dangerously expired milk. Ill go grocery shopping.. I had a simple bowl of dry cereal for [[breakfast]]

The drive to school was gloomy. Grey clouds loomed endlessly over me and everything seemed to drip all the time. My ride was silent, all I could think of was the dread of school and how I basically insulted Julie... I pulled into the office area, the school being easy to find in such a small town. I stepped awkwardly back into the cold. The truck was a little tall for me, but I'd manage. Stepping into the office, I was met with an almost sterile affair. Dimmed lumonesent lights were the only things saving the awkward layout and painfully white decor. Plants covered everything, as if there wasnt enough outside already. The small office secretary peaked over her computer at the sound of the door opening. She flashed a grin, "Isabella Swan, right?" I nodded. Who else? I was surely the only new student. She typed something up fast and handed me a slip of paper. "heres your schedule and each room number-" She slipped a school map over it, "and heres a map of the school. If you need help finding anything, dont hesitate to ask. We're so excited to have you here" Her plump cheeks squished with her smile and i gave a weak smile back. Im not confident here. I muttered a thank you before walking back to my car. I quickly pulled into the student parking lot, finding somewhere where I prayed no one regularly parked. All the cars were regular, beat down old things that were clearly hand me downs from parents. All except two. One was a flashy, freshly washed Volvo. It stood out next to the small, dented Toyota it parked next to. The other was a red mercedez-benz, standing out just as much as the volvo. What was more surprising was the group of people that walked out of the cars. They were all, by definition, the most beautiful people I had ever met. A woman stepped out of the Mercedez, [[her hair long and deliciously blonde|rosalie]]. Another girl stepped from the backseat of the same car. She was short, dainty, her hair spikey and [[she held a fairy like demeanor|alice]]. Another girl stepped out from the Volvo, her hair a [[gorgeous ginger|Edythe]] that shined even in the grey that was the sky. [[the bell rang|into schoo2l]]

"hey- dyou need a ride to school.. It would be nice to know at least one person-" She seemed a little surprised "oh- I go to school on the reservation-" she paused "but hey- maybe I can show you around sometime? I know some nice beaches, we should go sometime-" I contemplated her offer- [[accept]] [[deny]]

I moved to the drivers side, hoping into the car and letting it roar to life. It was loud, very loud. I gave my father and enthusiastic wave. I rolled down the window to yell a muffled thank you out the window. [[I started driving to school|school3]]

"Im not much of a beach fan... but thank you.." I said quieter than before. She felt weird. Warm but wrong. She seemed nice but guarded, so I will do the same. She seemed a little purplexed but nodded, leaning off of the truck and taking a step toward her father. "oh- uh- okay then.. well- have a good day.." the departure was awkward and I couldnt help but feel that she didnt like me that much I paused awkwardly before roaring the truck to life [[i left for school|school4]]

<<if $touch is "comforting">> She shoved me into the front driver seat and climbed into the passangers from over me. Our proximity made me shiver. "you know how to drive a stick shift right?" Her voice broke me from my trance. I locked eyes with her and nodded. "uh- yeah- m not very good though" She chuckled and flashed a toothy, positivly bright smirk "yeah thats fine- it chugs a little anyway. It'll get you around though, and survive just about anything-" I felt entranced "you seem to know a lot about cars-" I muttered. My voice sounded so dull compared to her. "yeah- I work on em a lot, you should come over- I got some dirt bikes I just finished fixing up!" [[accept offer|accept2]] [[deny offer|deny2]] <<elseif $touch is "odd">> She dragged me into the car, sitting me firmly onto the drivers side. She scooted beside me. She felt pushy, I remained wary. "oookay! So the stick shifts a bit sticky but you should get used to it! Turn it on, give her a whirl!" I followed the instruction, turning the key in the ignition and hearing the shockingly loud engine "its loud!" I commented. Duh- obviously. I felt awkward around her. She chuckled and nodded "yeah- but everythings okay! It'll work just fine!" I gave a nod "oh- alright. Well- dyou need a ride to school?" I offered halfheartedly She shook her head, "i go to school on the reservation-" She opened the pasenger side door and hopped out "you have fun though! I'll see you later" I gave a nod and a wave [[im gonna be late to school|school6]] <<elseif $touch is "offputting">> I tugged my arm from her grasp but followed her to the car. She climbed up into the passenger side door and I slunk into the drivers "uh- do.. you need a ride to school?" I questioned cautiously. She didnt seem malicious by any means, but I wanted to keep my distance. "oh- no I go to the school on the reservation- thanks though. I just wanted to walk you through the stick shift-" And that she did. A whole 10 minutes later and a whole lesson on how to use this specific trucks stick shift, I was, in her eyes, prepared. She opened the passengers side door "well- Ill see you, I think my dad is plannin on coming back for the Mariners game so... until then" She gave a polite smile, guarded, but nice enough. I nodded and muttered a small thank you. [[im gonna be late to school|school6]] <</if>>

"oh- i dont know- that sounds really dirty" I wasnt much of a thrill taker. Never liked it that much, and I wasnt a big fan of dirt. she paused, nodded and spoke "fair enough- im sure we can find something to do then-" I gave her a smirk and nodded, "yeah- that'd be nice" She opened the passenger door and hopped out "well, ill see you around Bella-" She gave a wave and then she was gone [[ive got to get to school|school8]]

my face was flushed a bright red the entire ride to school. Its a date? did she mean a date date? Or like- a hangout date?? The drive was grey, the sky clouded endlessly with wet puffs that looks ready to burst. I pulled into the parking lot and hopped out of the truck. The truck was tall, difficult to get in and out. Maybe Julie could show me a better way... The office was warm, the light orange and plants scattered every surface. The plump lady greeted me warmly, handed me my schedule and a slip for teachers to sign and sent me on my way. I moved my truck to student parking, hopped out, and began walking into the school. [[something caught my eye]]

The drive was grey, silent except for the roar of the engine. I found the school easily enough, it was simple in such a small town. I pulled in and entered the small office. It was lit warmly, and covered with green... just like outside. so much green. The plump lady behind the counter greeted me eagerly. She handed me my class schedule and a map of the school before sending me on my way. I walked through the parking lot to get into the school. All the cars were regular, beat down old things that were clearly hand me downs from parents. All except two. One was a flashy, freshly washed Volvo.

Classes went slow, I had already learned most of what these teachers taught. I should try and get into the AP classes... I met a girl names Jessica, and a guy she clearly liked named Mike. They let me sit with them at [[lunch]]

my first few classes went as well as you could imagine. A nice kid- Mike Newton- he showed me around. He was like a dog, energetic and boucy. He seemed to like me well enough. In my calc class I was sat next to this girl, Jessica. She was nice, a bit of a gossip, but nice to me. She invited me to lunch, which I gladly accepted, glad to not be the weirdo eating alone. [[the lunch bell rang]]

At lunch we sat, a group in a circle. Mike was there, and Jessica sat next to me. I tried to grab everyones names.. Angela, Ben, Lauren, Tyler.. some other people.. I nibbled at my food as they all talked. Ben and Angela talked about the school paper- and a whole section on me! The horror! I put a stop to it. I glanced across the cafeteria, my eyes finding the table of practical models. "Jessica, who are they?" The girls at the table giggled before actually responding "okay- okay- they are the Cullens-" Jessica started, Angela interrupted "and Hales- The one with gorgeous blonde hair, shes Rosalie Hale. She doesnt talk to many people- seems stand off ish. Next to her is Emmett Cullen, I think they dated which is weird cause theyre totally siblings-" I spit out my apple juice- "what!?!" They both laughed and Jessica clarified "no no- like adopted. Its still like- totally weird but Its over now I think. Anyway- Next to Emmett is Jasper Hale, hes really awkward and quiet for some reason. Always looks sick. Next to him is Alice, the fairy lookin one-" Alice glanced our way and we all quickly looked away, into the table and Angela whispered "shes weird, always bouncy- next to her is Edythe Cullen. She's gorgeous but she totally thinks she's better than everyone. I dont even think ive seen her talk to anyone here." [[the bell rang]]

I sniffed my hair lightly, no. I smelt great, like fresh strawberrys in spring. [[what was her problem?|the bell rang]]

I went home after class, not having the energy and certainly not in the mood for a small town grocery. I called my mom. She asked how school was... <<cycle "$mood" autoselect>> <<option "fine">> <<option "bad">> <<option "I dont want to talk about it">> <</cycle>> [[she responded]]

<<if $mood is "fine">> "just fine? Did you make any friends, dyou like anyone? I want details!" Her voice sounded from the other side of the phone. "I met a few people... A girl named Jessica - shes nice.. And Dad got me a car- I met Julie, Billy Blacks daughter- she fixed the truck up for me and we're gonna clean it this weekend.. so thats cool.. and theres this group of kids at school who drive real fancy cars-" Mom then asked a lot of questions about the statue like strangers. I couldnt answer anything. Eventually she hung up and I was able to do my homework and shower for the night. Dad brought home pizza for dinner... I would really need to get groceries soon. He seemed happy that Julie and I got along. I eventually went into a rustling sleep, bothered by the never ending sound of rain... [[the next day]] <<elseif $mood is "bad">> "ooh baby im sorry- what happened?" I paused. everything here was bad, no one specific thing happened. I told her about getting the truck, which was good. She was happy I made friends with [[Julie]]. I told her about the models at school, she seemed intruiged but I had no information on them to give. I eventually hung up, had a quick, pizza filled dinner with Charlie, and fell into a restless sleep. [[I dont like the rain|the next day]] <<elseif $mood is "I dont want to talk about it">> "ooh baby im sorry- what happened?" I paused. everything here was bad, no one specific thing happened.

I broke my gaze from the table of the Cullens and Hales. I wandered slowly with Jessica until she showed me my biology class. I stepped in, everyone already sat and one spot was left open. Edythe Cullen glanced in my direction, her auburn eyes bearing into my soul. I handed the teacher my slip before moving to sit next to her. She scooted away once I took my step. I noticed immedietly, of course I did. [[Did I smell?|did i smell2]] I tried to focus on class. I had already learned all of this, and all i could focus on was the aparent and immediate hatred that Edythe held for me. It upset me, what did I do. The bell rang and ive never seen someone move that fast. Her bag swung over her shoulder and she was out the door before anyone else. I sat in disbelief for longer than I meant before Mike grabbed me for dreaded gym class. [[I barely survived|home2]]

<<if $mood is "fine">> "just fine? Did you make any friends, dyou like anyone? I want details!" Her voice sounded from the other side of the phone. "I dont know mom.. I met some girls at school that seem nice.." She questioned me endlessly about Jessica and Angela.. yet my mind kept flashing back to the strangers with the fancy cars. We eventually hung up and I had a meager, pizza filled dinner with Charlie.. I layed my head down, restless but eventually succumbing to the [[endless pounding of the rain.|next day]] <<elseif $mood is "bad">> She coddled me, asking what happened to have made it so bad. I couldnt tell her it was here, all of it. I cant stand forks and its endless cold, wet state. Instead I told her about Julie, our awkward encounter. She sympathized, used to my particularly awkward ways. I told her about Jessica and Angela, and about the Cullens and Hales with their fancy cars. The call ended and I sulked into a silent dinner with charlie. I took a quick shower and lay in my bed, sleep unable to find me. I tossed and turned, my mind on the models at school. [[eventually i fell asleep|next day]] <<elseif $mood is "I dont want to talk about it">> She coddled me, asking what happened to have made it so bad. I couldnt tell her it was here, all of it.

I didnt see Edythe that day of for the rest of the week I distracted myself with homework. I distracted myself so hard that the weekend caught up quickly. I had gotten Julies phone number from Charlie, and we called to agree that I would bring the truck to her place. I put on something warm.. <<cycle "$cleanfit" autoselect>> <<option "wide leg jeans with a tighter long sleeve and a plaid thick jacket">> <<option "bootcut jeans with an expensive henley top and long jacket with a fur hood">> <<option "a long grey sleeve shirt with a button up t shirt over it and some bootcut jeans">> <</cycle>> [[I drove over as the rain started to pick up.|clean car julie]]

Her warm smile flashed into my mind. Why did it do that? [[I miss her warmth|she responded]]

School went slowly. Painfully slow. I met a girl names jessica and a guy named Mike, who she clearly liked. They were nice and invited me over for lunch. I sat with their group, meeting a large handful of people I was sure to forget. Across the lunch room, my eyes found the strangers with the nice cars. "jessica- who are they?" I asked, my voice low. She smirked and nodded- "those are the Cullens and the Hales, the adopted kids of Dr. Cullen. They're like- crazy rich- The blonde one that looks like hes in pain- thats Jasper Hale, and next to him is his sister, Rosalie-" She was the one with the most gorgeous long blonde hair ive ever seen. "Next to her is Emmett Cullen, and then Alice Cullen- She was the fairy like one, small and very nimble looking. "And then next to her is Edythe cullen" Finally the one with the sharp eyes and ginger hair I nodded, the conversation at the table flipping to be about the Cullens and Hales. I learned that they're loners, no real friends outside of themselves. They can be mean, at least Rosalie can. Mostly silent.. they dont seem to like people all that much. the lunch bell rang and I walked to [[biology]]

I woke up dreading school. I drove, dreading school I entered my first class, listening to Jessica ramble, dreading lunch specifically. I didnt want to see her- I thought she hated me and I didnt want to endure her hatred filled gaze any longer. Lunch came and I pattered behind Jessica and Angela. My eyes flashed toward the table I knew Edythe would be at. She wasnt. I relaxed, and then I tensed. Did she hate me so much she needed to leave?? I listened to Jessica and the rest of the table talk about the beach. Maybe I should join.. The bell rang and I noticed Edythe's sister Alice walking alone to class and I got an idea. [[approach Alice?]] [[go to class]]

I sniffed my hair lightly, no. I smelt great, like fresh strawberrys in spring. [[what was her problem?|the bell rang2]]

I was upset tears pricked my eyes and threatened to spill. Why did she hate me already? What did I do? I stepped into the office, ready to give the office lady my slip and be rid of this godforsaken school for the day. She was there Her ginger hair cascading down her back as she argued with the office lady "There has to be something- anything.. I cant be in Biology-" Her voice was smooth as silk, low, almost demanding in its tone. "im sorry but theres nothing we can do- the other classes are full-" Edythe stiffened, turned around and muttered in a frustrating tone "looks like ill just have to manage.." She avoided me on the way out, glaring once again down at me. I paused- rendered imobile after the interaction. I set my fully signed slip on the counter and [[stormed out.]]

I swung my backpack over my shoulder and started to stomp my way to my truck. This day had dragged on, and I couldnt handle the embarrasment anymore. A tap on my shoulder stopped me dead in my tracks, I swung around The small Cullen, Alice, stood in front of me. Her hair was a spiked black, and she wore a stripped shirt with a dark vest, shorts and cute patterned tights. "Hi! Its Isabella, right?" "Bella." I responded flattly. I wasnt in a great mood. "Bella! I like your outfit!" She skipped up right next to me, walking smoothly with me "How has your first day been?" I responded with a curt fine. She was odd, just like Jessica said. "I saw you and Edythe- in Biology- I just wanted to apologize for her behavior myself-" That startled me. Why would she apologize? When did she see? "she doesnt mean to be stand off ish- shes just not a people person, yknow?" We exited the building into the parking lot "I personally think we're gonna be great friends, and she'll warm up to you, dont worry!" She walked me to my truck, skipping smoothly the entire way- like a graceful ballerina. Her hand ran the side of my beaten down vehicle, she didnt look like she belonged next to such an old thing. "I'll see you tomorrow!" I gave a confused nod and felt stunned the entire way home [[she was odd]]

She walked me to my truck, skipping smoothly the entire way- like a graceful ballerina. Her hand ran the side of my beaten down vehicle, she didnt look like she belonged next to such an old thing. "I'll see you tomorrow!" She said it like it was confirmed. Like I WILL see her tomorrow, and I have no choice. [[she was odd]]

I should say SOMEONE caught my eye two cars pulled up, a shiny new Volvo, and a bright red Mercedez. What was more surprising was the group of people that walked out of the cars. They were all, by definition, the most beautiful people I had ever met. A woman stepped out of the Mercedez, [[her hair long and deliciously blonde|rosalie]]. Another girl stepped from the backseat of the same car. She was short, dainty, her hair spikey and [[she held a fairy like demeanor|alice]]. Another girl stepped out from the Volvo, her hair a [[gorgeous ginger|Edythe]] that shined even in the grey that was the sky. I stared admittidly longer than I should have before hearing the [[bell ring]]

Classes went smoothly, albeit boringly. Nothing they taught I hadnt learned before. I met a girl named Jessica in my math class and she invited me to lunch with her. At lunch we sat, a group in a circle. Mike was there, and Jessica sat next to me. I tried to grab everyones names.. Angela, Ben, Lauren, Tyler.. some other people.. I nibbled at my food as they all talked. Ben and Angela talked about the school paper- and a whole section on me! The horror! I put a stop to it. I glanced across the cafeteria, my eyes finding the table of practical models. "Jessica, who are they?" The girls at the table giggled before actually responding "okay- okay- they are the Cullens-" Jessica started, Angela interrupted "and Hales- The one with gorgeous blonde hair, shes Rosalie Hale. She doesnt talk to many people- seems stand off ish. Next to her is Emmett Cullen, I think they dated which is weird cause theyre totally siblings-" I spit out my apple juice- "what!?!" They both laughed and Jessica clarified "no no- like adopted. Its still like- totally weird but Its over now I think. Anyway- Next to Emmett is Jasper Hale, hes really awkward and quiet for some reason. Always looks sick. Next to him is Alice, the fairy lookin one-" Alice glanced our way and we all quickly looked away, into the table and Angela whispered "shes weird, always bouncy- next to her is Edythe Cullen. She's gorgeous but she totally thinks she's better than everyone. I dont even think ive seen her talk to anyone here." [[the bell rang|bell rang]]

My eyes were pulled from their angelic look. Mike walked me to biology, yapping the entire way there about whatever school drama he could think about. We walked into the classroom, the teacher grabbed my slip and sat me down in the only open spot. I hesistated, her amber eyes bore into me. Edythe Cullen. I sat slowly, looking her way and muttering a small, shy hello. She didnt respond. She simply glared at me, the knuckles of her hand white with the ironclad grip she held the table with. She sat on the edge of her seat, literally as far away from me as possible. She remained like that the whole class period. I couldnt focus, she filled my thoughts. Embarrasment coursed through me- had I done something? Did I smell?? Surely not, I smelt like strawberrys on a spring morning and I had only said hello- The bell rang and she left near comically fast. Her bang swung onto her back and her ginger hair flowed behind as she stormed out of the room. [[i need to leave]]

I reentered the office, ready to hand my slip off and run off home to soak in my misery. Edythe was in the office, next to her was Rosalie Hale. Edythe argued with the office lady, arguing, trying desperatly to get out of Biology. I felt immobile. Rosalie glanced back at me, her gaze cold. She subtly tapped Edythes arm, getting her to shut the fuck up. "fine. Ill just have to manage." Edythe snapped out, turning and storming past me. Rosalie walked slowly past me, stopping next to me. She stood taller than me, her hair pulled back into a glowing, curled ponytail. She felt intimidating, someone to be scared of but I only felt drawn in. She looked me up and down, bent down a little, getting slightly closer to my face "watch yourself." She followed her sister out without another word[[...]]

I didnt see Edythe for the next week. I waited- breath bated- held for the moment I would see her stone cold gaze again. My days from then on were uneventful. I sat with Jessica and Angela at lunch, sat alone in biology. Sometimes Alice would come and talk to me- just small things.. [[if I liked the weather]] [[how I was handeling Forks]] [[my thoughts on the upcoming prom]] [[The weekend passed uneventfully]]

I felt paralized. She was so intimidating. I couldnt believe it. I slipped my paper on the plump womans desk before soullessly wandering out of the school. My mind left blank and racing all at once. I drove home in a daze rain started to sprinkle dinner was quick silent [[i fell asleep thinking of her]]

I sat awkwardly next to Jessica and her friend Angela. They talked about boys, the school paper, the prom that was happening in a few months... I tuned most of it out, having never really been interested in that stuff.. My eyes scanned the lunch room, getting to know the faces of the people I would now be forced to school with for the later part of high school. my eyes scanned.. and scanned.. until they met someones gaze. she struck me. I had seen her in the parking lot. I saw her climb out of her remarkibly shiny Volvo, and I watched her sisters and brothers climb out of their similarly remarkibly shiny Mercedes. Her gaze was hard, rough. Like she was analyzing something deep within me. I couldnt tear my eyes away. She looked like a model, so incomprehensibly beautiful I couldnt stop. Jessica nudged me "woah- looks like Edythe Cullens interested in you~" Her teasing tore my eyes away. I glanced at her "who..?" Her and Jessica chuckled "Edythe Cullen. Shes Dr Cullens kid- adopted I think. Next to her is her brother Emmett, and her sister Alice, and next to them are the Hales, Rosalie and Jasper." I nodded along. My eyes glanced back at Edythe. She wasnt looking. Angela chimed in "they're totally beautiful- but like- they dont really have many friends. They only hang out with eachother so like- dont get your hopes up or anything" I shook my head and muttered "wasnt planning on it..." [[the bell rang|the bell rang3]]

I gathered my things and walked silently with Mike to class. He yapped on and on about random bits of gossip, something about a sports team, and im fairy sure he asked me to see a movie with him, but I wasnt listening. We stepped into biology, every seat was filled exept one. Edythe sat alone, her cold stone eyes glaring deep into my soul. The teacher signed my slip and ordered me to sit next to her. I slowly took the seat, grabbed out my notebook I was surely not going to use and I glaced at her. She sat at the very edge of the table, her hand gripping the side so hard her knuckled turned white. She glared at me so hard I was worried I had already, somehow, offended her. I muttered a small hello I got no response the class felt tense. I had learned this class already, and even if I hadnt, I wouldnt be able to focus with the thick tension between Edythe and I. When the bell rang, she swung her bag over her shoulder and practically raced out the door. Tears stung in my eyes. I felt so embarrased, I didnt think I would be so hated so quickly. [[i got up and left|left]] ADD EDWARD STUNK PICTURE HERE LMFAO

I slunk into the main office, shame and embarrasment clingling to my form with every step I took. I glanced up at the voice I heard. It was Edythe. She argued with the office woman, practically begging to be rid of Biology. "I cant take that class- there has to be something I can take" The office woman shook her head, "no- im sorry everything else is completely full-" Edythes eyes glanced back at me, seemingly realizing my silent presence. she glared at me, and then at the office woman before muttering angrily "fine.. I'll just have to manage.." She stormed out. I slipped the signed paper and map onto the office womans desk and [[left|left2]]

the night was quick. I felt empty for most of it, drained from the day and the odd, mysterieous shame that clung to me. I ate a slow, silent dinner with Charlie I took a slow, silent shower and I climbed into bed, laying awake thinking of [[her|her2]]

I told Mike to go ahead to class, that I would meet him there. He looked at me confused but nodded and left me alone. I jogged slightly and caught up to Alice "hey-" I stumbled next to her, her features clearer than before. She was shorter than me, her hair curved upward in all directions. She wore a striped shirt with a black vest over, a pair of short, dark jean shorts and tights with swirls and patterns all over. She met my gaze, unstartled like she had been expecting me. "Hi!" Her voice was higher pitched, delicate like a fairy. "Does Edythe hate me?" She blinked, thinking for a second but still not surprised "no- I dont think so. Why do you ask?" I stared quizically "she glares at me- and basically begged to get out of our biology class after nearly falling off the damn seat-" I spoke fast, a little worked up evidently. She only smiled her dainty smile back "I dont think she hates you- I think you both will be good friends" And then she skipped off. her and her knee high converse skipped off, leaving me confused in the middle of the empty hallway... [[im late for class]]

I shook the thought from my mind. Mike dragged me to class anyway, It would look weird to him if I even tried. I was barely able to focus in Biology, my mind still on Edythe and her absence. once school ended, [[i went home quickly]]

Edythe wasnt there the next day.. Thursday... Friday..... I didnt see her for the rest of the week and the weekened past and I didnt see her the next week either. One day, a dull Wednesday, I walked with Jessica into lunch to see Edythe, there finally. I felt like I froze. Lunch felt paralyzing and I walked so slowly with Mike to biology that he thought I was sick. I sat next to her- ready for a whole day of glaring. [[I didnt get that|i didnt get that 2]]

I sat in biology, bothered by what Alice said. She doesnt know me, and after what i told her, how on earth could she possibly think we would be friends. biology went quick and i stomped out to my car with Mike. He asked why I told him to go without me, i didnt bother telling him about Edythe or Alice. I stomped into my car and drove home [[the next day|next day 2]]

Edythe wasnt there the next day.. Thursday... Friday..... I didnt see her for the rest of the week and the weekened past and I didnt see her the next week either. In the time I didnt see her, she was somehow the only thing that filled my mind. I noticed Alice kept her eye on me more- I could tell why. A few times she skipped next to me and silently walked me to my car. She was weird. One day, a dull Wednesday, I walked with Jessica into lunch to see Edythe, there finally. I felt like I froze. Lunch felt paralyzing and I walked so slowly with Mike to biology that he thought I was sick. I sat next to her- ready for a whole day of glaring. [[I didnt get that]]

"hello." Her voice startled me. It was lower than I expected- it felt like a smooth chocolate and soft like a blanket. "Im sorry I didnt get to introduce myself.. Im Edythe Cullen- you're Bella.. right?" I nodded- starstruck from the sudden change of attitude. the teacher handed out microscopes and slides- gave us our assignment and we began. She slid the microscope to me- "uh- you can check first" I nodded, checked, and mumbled out what I said. She stared at me, her expression unreadable "do you mind if I check?" It continued like this the entire time. Awkward, but cordual. We finished first. "so-" she began [["how.. do you like the weather?"]]

"you're asking me about the weather?" I asked, confused. She chuckled and nodded- "yeah- yeah I guess I am..." I finally responded "i dont really like anything.. this cold and wet really-" She nodded, staring into me, paying attention to every word "then why would you move to one of the wettest places in the continental US?" I filled her in. I wanted my mother happy- that was all the bell rang she walked me to my car. We talked the entire way. I felt sucked in- like she consumed everything around me and everything around me must be her "well I'll see you around Bella" She gave a small wave and an addicting smile. [[alice was right]]

"you're asking me about the weather?" I asked, confused. She chuckled and nodded- "yeah- yeah I guess I am..." I finally responded "i dont really like anything.. this cold and wet really-" She nodded, staring into me, paying attention to every word "then why would you move to one of the wettest places in the continental US?" I filled her in. I wanted my mother happy- that was all the bell rang she walked me to my car. We talked the entire way. I felt sucked in- like she consumed everything around me and everything around me must be her "well I'll see you around Bella" [[She gave a small wave and an addicting smile.|smile]]

I pulled into what I prayed was her property. It wasnt fancy by any means but it had a lovely charm. She jogged out of her shop, her smile warm and wide. She wore cargo pants and a cropped t shirt. I have no idea how she wore only that in this weather. I stepped out of my truck. <<if $cleanfit is "wide leg jeans with a tighter long sleeve and a plaid thick jacket">> "Cute outfit" She called out. I could feel my cheeks warm. "You sure you can clean with it? You dont care about getting dirty?" I shook my head and smiled "No- i dressed comfy and warm for a reason" She gave a wide smile back. She grabbed the keys from my hand and flawlessly backed the truck into their open shop area. [[we got to cleaning]] <<elseif $cleanfit is "bootcut jeans with an expensive henley top and long jacket with a fur hood">> "thats what you're gonna wear to clean?" she sounded slightly judgy. I glanced at my outfit "oh- i uh- thought it was fine-" She shrugged "Well i mean we're probably gonna get dirty so it just looks a little fancy for this-" [[take the henly off to keep it clean]] [[dont change]] <<elseif $cleanfit is "a long grey sleeve shirt with a button up t shirt over it and some bootcut jeans">> I tossed her the keys and she caught them easily. "cute outfit- dont mind it getting a little messy?" her hair was up in a layered ponytail, her bangs framing her face phenominally. I nodded "yeah I dont mind- I dressed for the occasion." She hopped into the tall truck and backed it into her open shop easily [[we got to cleaning]] <</if>>

We cleaned quickly- moving from the front to the back seats with ease. We scrubbed the faint smell of ciggarettes from the carpet, and mass shampooed the seats to get the remaining funk out. We talked a little, but most effort was focused on cleaning. She wore a tighter t shirt, the slight show of muscles flexed with nearly every movement. In the end, the trucks cabin smelt like flowers[[..and her.]]

I nodded- stripping the jacket from my back and setting it on the cleanest table I could find. The Henly came next, it came over my head and set on top of the jacket, leaving me in a much thinner tank top. It was cold but we were going to be moving, so it was okay. My gaze fell back onto Julie. She looked oddly frozed, her cheeks a dusted pink. She must be cold. She stuttered in her movement before grabbing some cleaning supplies for us. [[we got to work]]

"Oh I uh- I think ill be fine" I assured her. I was wrong. We started to clean the inside of the car- my jacket got caught on absolutely everything and I dripped cleaner on my henly. She reacted <<print either("well. She laughed everytime I got caught on something, and her laugh was so infectious I couldnt help but laugh with her.", "interestingly. She cringed everytime I had to move my coat. We cleaned largely in silence, with nothing but her radio playing faintly")>> We went space by space. First the front of the car, scrubbing the faint smell of ciggaretts from the carpet. Then to the tiny backseats, where we shampooed the hel out of the seats, leaving the small cabin of the car smelling like flowers... [[..and her.]]

We eventually finished. She invited me in for food after and we sat in the bed of the truck, eating the sandwiches she made specfically for us. I felt like I should say something... [["so.. hows school going?"]] [["do you have plans next weekend?"]] [[stay silent]]

She looked over at me and shrugged "its school- not.. bad but im not a big school person-" she took a bite of her sandwich "what about you? Hows your first while at the school in town?" I had to think- not much had happened. I told her about Jessica- of course, and I told her about how boring all my classes were. And then I mentioned the Cullens- and she froze "the Cullens? Have they done anything to you?" Her voice was sharper- just slightly. A hint of worry layed within her tone. I paused and shook my head "uhm- no not really- Edythe was weird.. Yknow like- she ignores me and doesnt seem to like me at all... Why? Do they have that reputation?" She seemed to hesitate before shaking her head, a small smirk returning to her face. "no- just be careful. around them. Thats all-" We finished eating in relative silence. The sun was going to set soon and Charlie would want me home. We hopped from out of the bed of the truck. "well Bella- dyou have plans next weekend?" [["no- I dont"]] [["oh uh.."]]

She turned and smiled "yeah! Some friends are going to the beach- La Push- Dyou wanna come? I was gonna invite you anyway-" I smiled and nodded "yeah- that sounds fun!" She smiled and added "invite some people- the more the merrier yknow-" I nodded- "ill invite some from school-" Jessica and Angela would be sure to come The sun had began to set. We waved goodbye and I [[drove home]]

She eventually filled the silence with chatter- small topics like... [[favorite color]] [[favorite movie]] [[anything interesting at school]]

Her smile grew wider. "Dyou want to go to the beach with me? La Push- some of my friends are going and I'd love for you to join me" [[agree to join]] [[deny the offer]]

She seemed caught offguard by my hesitance. "we- uh- sorry- we dont have to hangout if you dont want to-" I shook my head "no- I uh- I just dont know what my plans are- yknow" there was an awkward pause before she nodded "yeah- uh yeah for sure-" It was awkward as we waved goodbye. I told her I would call her. [[i drove home silently]]

I smiled- my cheeks slightly pink. [[I blamed it on the cold.]] "yeah- yeah I'd love to, that sounds fun" She chuckled and smiled "great! You uh- can invite some friends if you'd like- the more the merrier.. yknow?" I nodded, grabbing my keys "sweet! I'll ask some people at school then- I gave her a wave and [[left|left3]]

"im not much of a beach person- and wont it rain-?" She shrugged "it rains anyway here- you might as well have fun. But hey! I wont make you- we should still hang out soon though!" I nodded, smiled and told her I would call her later to hangout. [[i drove home with a small smile on my face|left3]]

[[im not cold..|agree to join]]

Purple for me.. a beautiful, soft orange for her. That suited her- [[she was warm like the sun|stay silent]]

Empire Strikes Back- Pride and Prejudice- Titanic- all my favorite hits. Jurassic Park- Spiderman- a ton of action movies were her favorites [[makes sense|stay silent]]

I told her about Jessica and her group. She listened intently on every word I said. I told her about Edythe. I told her how weird the interaction was, and she seemed to take it very seriously. [["what do you think about her?"]]

I think shes...<<cycle "$feeling" autoselect>>" <<option "odd...">> <<option "mean.. I didnt do anything wrong...">> <<option "captivating.. If im honest.. I cant stop thinking about her-">> <</cycle>> [[she nodded]]

<<if $feeling is "odd...">> She nodded once more before sighing "good- they all are." I paused "what do you mean? The whole family?" She nodded- there seemed to be hostility between her and the Cullens. "did something happen?" She shook her head before pausing- "theres this old legend- that they have been here before. Legend says that my ancestors have met the Cullens before- that they are creatures of myth and we made a treaty that if they dont hurt anyone, then we wont tell the humans what they really are.." I nodded along "well what are they?" she laughed [["its just a story Bella- its not real"]] <<elseif $feeling is "mean.. I didnt do anything wrong...">> She nodded "i figured." I glanced over at her "what do you mean? Do you know her?" She shook her head "no- its uh- its nothing." it didnt seem like nothing. I didnt push though. I hummed a confirmation. We talked more- happier, less meaningful things. Rivers that she said i'd like in the summer- fantasies about a trip up to Rainier or Seattle when the weathers nice. I eventually waved a goodbye, told her I would call her and [[drove home|drove home2]] <<elseif $feeling is "captivating.. If im honest.. I cant stop thinking about her-">> she stiffened. Something serious set deep inside her. "you should stay away from her Bella." Her voice was low, deeper and serious. I looked over to her, confused "why? Did they do something?" She paused "they're just.. dangerous Bella. Trust me.." I stared at her- not understanding what she meant. She sighed "we have this legend that the Cullens have been here before- like a long time ago. That we made a treaty with them so that they cant hurt anyone. If they hurt anyone- then we tell the humans what they really are." I nodded, taking the information in "why the Cullens?" She paused, seeming to think for a minute "its just a story- im sure just a rumor someone made up." I didnt buy it. two things seemed od here- 1) why would the Cullens specifically be rumored like this 2) why did she say they would tell the humans. [[Shes human too...]]

I laughed and nodded "yeah- i guess so. Why the Cullens though?" She shrugged- "not sure. Im sure it was just a rumor started by someone" I took the answer without question but really it circulated my mind. I drove home silently thinking of her story. [[its not true..]]

I told Charlie about my day, he seemed glad that Julie and I seemed to be friends. I went to school feeling slightly fresher- lessed stressed about Edythe, and more hopeful about the beach trip with Julie. At lunch, I brought the trip up to my friends and they agreed rather enthusiastically. All was going well until I got to biology. Edythe was there. Same cold expressions and the same distance between us. I sat down, ready to be glared at for an entire class period. "hello- I.. didnt get the chance to introduce myself- Im Edythe- you're Bella.. right?" My head snapped over to meet her, shocked at her sudden voice. It was low, almost hypnotizing. I gave a nod the lesson started, and we were given our microscopes, slides, and worksheet. She let me go first, I glanced at her as I readied the microscope "you were gone-" She chuckled lowly "uuh yeah- personal reasons- yknow.." I nodded- unsure of how to properly respond.. She was awkward... "are you liking the weather?" I gave her an almost offended look.. [["you're asking me about the weather??"]] [[stay silent|stay silent 3]]

The next day of school went fine. At lunch I made plans to go to La Push- a local beach over the next weekend. [[I should ask Julie to join]] I walked into Biology- ready for another day without Edythe Cullen. I was wrong. She sat, refusing to look at me once more. I sat down, keeping Julies cautions in the forefront of my mind. "hello- Im sorry I didnt get the chance to introduce myself-" My gaze snapped to her. Her look was apprehensive

no. I dont like any cold- wet thing. [[she seemed intruiged by my answer|she was odd]]

I wanted to leave forever. I didnt tell her that of course- but I think she could tell. [[she seemed very intuitive like that|she was odd]]

Ive been here for a week- My mind is no where on prom. I told her im an awful dancer.. to which she began to convince me to go with her [[she said she was sure i'd say yes|she was odd]]

My week started dull. I stopped wondering SO much about Edythe and even got used to Alice's more frequent talks. I thought she was.. <<cycle "$Alice" autoselect>> <<option "still odd. I didnt quite vibe with her but it felt rude to push her away...">> <<option "cooler than people thought- Shes a little odd for sure- but very fun and quite friendly">> <<option "...Well i dont even know- shes interesting anyway..">> <</cycle>> I stepped into biology, ready to sit alone again... [[she sat there]]

She glanced at me and then glanced back away. I hesitantly took my seat. "hello... Bella- right?" I turned to face her, quicker than I meant to. Did she just talk to me?? I nodded. "sorry- I didnt get the chance to introduce myself-.. Im Edythe Cullen" I nodded again, muttering a small hello before the teacher stepped in and started the lesson. He handed out all the microscopes and slides and gave the work sheets. She slide the microscope to me "you first?" I nodded, taking the microscope- glancing back at her "you were gone?" [[She smirked]]

"yeah- I was uh- gone for family stuff.." I nodded- filled my portion of the work and slide the microscope to her. "so- how are you liking the weather?" I paused "you're asking me about the weather?" She chuckled and nodded- "uh- yeah- yeah I guess I am.." I nodded. "I dont like anything this wet and cold..." Her smirk struck me. It felt off- dangerous somehow.. [[stay silent|stay silent 2]]

She filled her portion of the sheet "so- if you dont like the cold and wet- why'd you move here?" I hesitated before telling her about my mother and her husband. She clung to every word I spoke. <<linkappend "straw" t8n>>. Her gaze could cut stone- her focus seemed almost frightening. Something in her eyes maybe...<</linkappend>> We talked throughout all of class- she walked with me through the school. [[Alice]] met up with us and their eyes alone seemed to have a whole other conversation. I said my goodbyes- stunned by the sudden switch up. They left me at my truck and I swear I watched them walk all the way across the parking lot [[they were no where near me]]

I heard a screech and then a scream and I turned to see Jessicas friend Tylers truck sliding wildly directly at me. Ill be honest when I say- Freezing wasnt my best move- but in the icy cold of the concrete and the approximatly 0 seconds I had to move- it was my only option. I braced- ready for the sweet- insanely painful release of death. A crunch my eyes pealed open and I saw her amber eyes. [[Alice|alice 2]]

Alice glanced back at me- seeming almost as shocked. Her hand sat dented in the deep crease that the van now had. People rushed over and Alice seemed worried- "Bella- are you okay- are you hurt?" I shook my head- how did she do that- she wasnt near me- she couldnt have [[she rode with me to the hospital]]

I was fine. She was fine- we all were fine. but not Charlie stood- pacing in from of me- worried as hell over absolutely nothing. I tried to calm him down and he didnt listen. After what felt like hours, Dr Cullen finally stepped in- glanced me over and with a smile sent me off. Like I told Charlie- I was fine Charlie hung back, exchanging words with Dr. Cullen. I snuck into the hallway- wandering- trying to find her. She stood with Edythe and Rosalie. Edythe stared back at me- eyes a mixture of worry and something far darker. Rosalie looked at me with nothing but aparent hate. Alice- being the only normal (kind of) one there- skipped over quickly "you're fine right? You didnt hit your head?" "no- no im fine- how did you get there?" She blinked at me "I was with you" "you werent- I know you werent- I watched you cross the whole parking lot- there was no way-" I kept rambling and she cut me off. "I saved you- thats all that matters... You'll understand eventually-" She gave me a small hug and [[skipped away]]

I was coddled the rest of the night- and the entire next day Everyone remarked on my obvious alive-ness I tried to track down Alice to no avail. Lunch was quick- a brief conversation about the accident was shut down promptly by me- who didnt have the energy to talk about it. They switched the conversation to a beach trip. <<if hasVisited("accept")>> I remember Julie talking about the beaches. Maybe we could all go together. They mention La Push and I make a mental note to clal Julie about it and see if she will go <</if>> I stepped into biology- my eyes snapped to Edythe. I walked with purpose, sat firmly down and turned to her "how did Alice stop the van?" She glanced at me, once again, irritatingly on the edge of her seat. "she was right next to you- she just moved you" I shook my head "no- you both were across the lot- she stopped it- I saw it" Her gaze darkened "You wont give up till you know, will you?" I shook my head. she leaned in [["get ready for dissappointment."]]

Im glad for her prescense. Im still not sure how to feel about [[edythe|stay silent 2]]

I didnt speak to her for the rest of the day. My chest burned with irritation- with anger.

She chuckled "uh- yeah I guess i am.." I stared at her- trying to understand her more "I dont like anything cold- wet thing-" I didnt speak much more to her- she gave me a vibe- She felt dangerous- her eyes bore into me in such a way that felt more like hunger than anything. She tried a few more conversations and I had no interest. The bell rang and [[I left]]

I was itching with curiousity- but her face seemed aprehensive- cautious. I let it go... for now we filled the remaining time with smaller talk- fantasies of the summer- talk of plans to be made I told her I would call her later- waved a goodbye and drove home, wondering hopelessly about what on earth the [[Cullens could be]]

She mentioned La Push- said the tide pools were pretty- said the star fish matched my eyes- [[id like if she would come|drove home2]]
