A/N: Hey all. This is my first attempt at writing anything...EVER. I believe the last time I wrote something creative was way back in the third grade. lol I have NEVER voluntarily written anything. It's just never been my forte, but with the endless begging, pleading, and encouragement of my friend I'm walking the plank and diving head first into the world of fan fiction.

Dawn of a New Day

BPOV

My eyes fluttered open and I rolled over with a groan to check the clock on my nightstand, 5:55 a.m. I groaned again realizing that the alarm would be going off in 5 minutes and with this being the first day of school I would not have the luxury if hitting the snooze button this morning.

I dragged myself out of bed and stumbled to the window. Dang! Rain again. As if that was something new. You see, I live in Forks, Washington the rain capital of the WORLD! O.K. O.K. maybe not the world, but definitely the United States. I could give you a whole geography lesson on the rain shadow, but I wouldn't want to bore you.

I grabbed my towel and robe and headed for the shower. It felt amazing and it was exactly what I needed to wake me up. Stepping out of the shower I was in a much better mood. I quickly blew my hair dry and pulled it into a ponytail.

Back in my room I dressed in the outfit the Alice had chosen for me to wear for the first day of school - skinny jeans, black fitted polo, and black flats.

Alice is one of my best friends. I met her in seventh grade when she moved here from Colorado. She is very charismatic and often twists my arm so that she can choose my wardrobe. Her look is definitely a reflection of her personality. She is petite, just 5 feet tall, with shoulder length spiky black hair. She has great fashion sense and isn't afraid to speak her mind when it comes to what she feels will make me look more stylish. You see she has no patience for my fashion choices . . . jeans, t-shirt, and converse tennis shoes. My style of comfort clothing is not a part of her vocabulary.

After dressing I went downstairs and on the kitchen table sat my favorite cereal, Frankenberry Cereal. Oh how I love its strawberry flavor. Charlie sat across from me with a smirk on his face. Charlie is my dad and is the police chief in Forks. My mom Renee and him have been married just over eighteen years and were high school sweethearts.

"Hey kiddo, you ready to get back to school?"

"Sure, Sure." I said. "You know how much I've missed having math homework." My statement was loaded with sarcasm.

He chuckled, and took a thoughtful look at my cereal. "I can't believe you still eat that stuff. It seems to have become your traditional breakfast for the first day of school. If I remember correctly that is the same cereal you ate on your first day of kindergarten." He mused.

"Man dad, you have a long memory."

"You have no idea Bells. No idea." And with that he stood, grabbed his police gear from the coat rack, and bid me a good day.

After I finished my cereal I washed my bowl and put it in the drain to dry. I looked out the kitchen window and saw Rosalie pulling into the driveway. Rosalie is my other best friend. I have known her and her twin brother Jasper my whole life. They are a year older than Alice and I and will be seniors this year. Their father is a car dealer and Rosalie hit the jackpot on her sixteenth birthday when her parents presented her with a 1969 Red Camaro in mint condition. I can only dream. Sigh.

Rosalie looks like she just walked off the cover of Vogue and isn't afraid to flaunt it. Even so she has a big heart and will come to the aid of her friends at a moments notice. I can always count on Rose.

I threw my backpack over my shoulder and ran out the door. As I ran to the car I recited my quote for the year, "Only through difficulty can you rest at the peak, look out over the horizon that surrounds you, and rejoice beyond today's imagination at how beautiful life really is and how lucky we truly are." (Michelle C. Ustaszeski) What great words of wisdom I thought. However, I hope today would not be one of my days of difficulty. Man, if I'd only known, I might just have stayed in bed.
